Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 45 The Panda-Eyed Boy

Looking at her eager-to-learn apprentice, Gu Qingyue organized her thoughts and carefully explained to him what she knew about the illness and treatment methods, offering her own opinions and insights for her apprentice's reference.

She is extremely meticulous when it comes to her profession.

After Gu Qingyue finished speaking, Doctor Zhang also began to frown and ponder, pacing back and forth in the main hall with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he quickly went to the back hall.

Gu Qingyue remained seated, completely unconcerned. She was used to it; her apprentice was good in every way, except for her obsession with medicine. When faced with medical problems, she would forget everything else.

Gu Qingyue stood up with practiced ease, walked behind the counter, picked up a pen, and began to write down the medicinal herbs she needed. She wanted to refine the medicine she required here as soon as possible.

A muffled thud suddenly rang out in the lobby.

Gu Qingyue looked up and saw a man crash heavily into the middle of the hall. Yes, he crashed in.

The man, covered in blood, raised one hand and tremblingly cried out, "Doctor, help me!"

Out of a doctor's instinct, Gu Qingyue quickly bypassed the counter and walked briskly toward the man. Several patients waiting in the lobby screamed in fright, and the doctor sitting in the clinic, Dr. Liu, was also quite frightened. Gu Qingyue looked up and gave the apprentice a look, and the apprentice quickly caught up with the group and led them into the back room to settle them in. Dr. Liu also quickly followed and went to the back room.

Only Gu Qingyue and Gu Qingyue remained in the lobby.

Gu Qingyue squatted down. Since it was late, the hall was lit with candles, and the shadows made it difficult to see the other person's face clearly.

Gu Qingyue helped the man up and looked him over carefully. She then saw that he had a back injury and was bleeding. It looked like a knife wound, and it was quite serious.

"Let's go inside and I'll bandage you up," Gu Qingyue said, then helped the man walk towards the back hall.

"Wait, not to treat me, please save my master," the man said weakly.

Seeing Gu Qingyue pause, the man anxiously spoke again: "Please, please help me find a doctor, my master is seriously injured..." As he spoke, the man was about to kneel down.

"Wait a minute," Gu Qingyue looked towards the door, "Where is the patient?"

The man hesitated, then said, "In Zhifen Alley," before glancing warily at the door.

They were quite close by. Gu Qingyue paused for a moment and said, "I am a doctor. I will go with you. However, it would be best if your injury were bandaged first, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk back."

After speaking, Gu Qingyue treated the man's wounds without any room for argument, bandaged them, and then picked up her medicine box to go with him to the nearby Zhifen Alley.

"Doctor, how old are you?" The injured man was uncertain and somewhat hesitant to ask.

In his eyes, Gu Qingyue looked like a child, and he didn't believe in her medical skills. But judging from the way she bandaged him just now, she was extremely skilled, so she seemed to have some medical skills. But his master was so badly injured, he wondered if she could handle it.

"Stop wasting time, it'll be too late if you dawdle any longer," Dr. Zhang's voice suddenly came from behind. "If he can't save him, then no one in our clinic can."

The injured man was stunned. Really? This young boy's medical skills were so remarkable?

Seeing the affirmative look in Dr. Zhang's eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry for rudeness, doctor, this way please."

After saying that, he went out first to lead the way for Gu Qingyue.

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow and followed.

The man cautiously looked at the pedestrians around him. Despite his serious injuries, he led the way at a rapid pace. Gu Qingyue even suspected that he had used some kind of lightness skill, otherwise, how could he run so fast with such severe injuries?

The man kept looking back, worried that Gu Qingyue wouldn't be able to keep up, but to his surprise, Gu Qingyue's steps were light and quick, and her speed was not slow at all.

Upon arriving at Zhifen Lane, we entered a small, two-courtyard house and saw a young boy anxiously peering towards the entrance.

Upon seeing them enter, the boy hurriedly exclaimed, "Quick, quick, quick!" and then rushed towards Gu Qingyue and the other girl.

Upon closer inspection, Gu Qingyue was startled. The boy's panda eyes looked both tragic and comical. Suppressing her curiosity, Gu Qingyue quickly followed the injured man into a room, with the panda-eyed boy following closely behind.

"Sect Master, Sect Master!" The panda-eyed boy cried out, his voice trembling with tears, as he looked at the middle-aged man lying unconscious on the bed.

Gu Qingyue walked to the bedside and began to observe the middle-aged man's body. After a series of observations, inquiries, and palpations, Gu Qingyue was certain that the man was not only poisoned but also seriously injured. He was almost covered in wounds, had lost a lot of blood, and was already showing signs of shock. He needed strong medicine.

"You all need to leave. I don't like anyone being present when I'm treating patients," Gu Qingyue said with a very serious expression.

The injured man and the panda-eyed boy exchanged a glance. Looking at Gu Qingyue, especially the panda-eyed boy, he hadn't paid much attention to Gu Qingyue's appearance in his haste. Now that he did, he was shocked. Had they brought in a child to treat her? The sect leader was seriously injured; how could they treat this so lightly?

The panda-eyed boy gave the injured man a reproachful look, which Gu Qingyue happened to see.

The injured man shook his head slightly, indicating that they should go outside to talk.

The panda-eyed boy paused, then turned and left the room with some worry, the injured man following behind.

Gu Qingyue turned around, opened the medicine box on the table, took out a pack of silver needles, and ignored the two people behind her, leaving only the words: "Go out and close the door. If you want him to die, then feel free to hesitate."

After saying that, he pulled out the silver needles and began to disinfect them with alcohol.

A moment later, upon hearing the door close, Gu Qingyue sighed softly.

If the person in front of her hadn't been so seriously injured and on the verge of death, she wouldn't have forced him out. She needed to use her healing energy to keep him alive before proceeding with the next treatment.

An hour later, Gu Qingyue opened the door.

The two people outside the door were already like ants on a hot plate. As soon as they saw the door open, they rushed over and looked at Gu Qingyue expectantly, their questions clear.

Without wasting any words, Gu Qingyue quickly handed over a prescription. "Go and get the medicine. His life has been saved, but he still needs follow-up treatment. I will write down the precautions later, and you can strictly follow them."

After saying that, he turned around, picked up the medicine box, and said to the panda-eyed boy, "Come with me to the clinic. He stays here. His injury is not light either. Don't run around. It would be troublesome if the wound reopens."

Upon hearing Gu Qingyue's words, the injured man paused slightly and stopped in his tracks.

Back at Huichun Medical Clinic, the panda-eyed boy grabbed the medicine, took the medical instructions written by Gu Qingyue, and ran off in a flash.

It was already past midnight when Gu Qingyue finished preparing the necessary medicine, so she had no choice but to rest at the clinic. After all, the middle-aged man's injuries still needed to be treated at her clinic again.

The next afternoon, after Gu Qingyue finished acupuncture for the last lung patient, she took her medicine box and went to Zhifen Lane.

Seeing Gu Qingyue carrying a medicine box, the injured man and the panda-eyed boy quickly stepped forward, took the medicine box from her, and led her all the way to the second courtyard.
