Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 96 Thank You for Saving Me

The good mood I felt, which was awakened by the aroma of tea and sunshine in the morning, gradually faded away. Indeed, without the peace of the country, there is no peace of the people, let alone the mood of a mere military doctor.

War can easily destroy all that is beautiful.

For example, her feelings, Dr. Zhao's expectations, and Lin Erbao's young life, as beautiful as a flower.

She had never understood the meaning of war as she did now.

Gu Qingyue walked toward the medicine-making room with her head hanging low.

As soon as she entered, a strong medicinal smell overwhelmed her sense of smell, almost making her lose it.

"What medicine?" Gu Qingyue frowned as she watched the young apprentice fanning the medicine stove and asked.

"Reporting to Doctor Gu, this is medicine for Lieutenant Mu."

After saying that, the apprentice continued what he was doing.

"He's injured?" Gu Qingyue asked, puzzled. He was fine when he came back yesterday afternoon, so how could he be injured?

Lost in thought, Gu Qingyue had unknowingly walked toward Mu Yun Chu's tent.

"Go find Doctor Gu, hurry!" Mu Nan's voice could be heard before they even got close.

Without waiting to report, Gu Qingyue immediately lifted the tent flap and strode inside.

"How did you get hurt? How could you be so badly injured?" Gu Qingyue smelled the strong stench of blood even before she got close to the bed.

Upon hearing this, Mu Nan turned around and saw Gu Qingyue. He was almost overjoyed and burst into tears. He immediately grabbed Gu Qingyue's hand and said, "You've come! That's wonderful! Master has been hit by an arrow with barbs and is bleeding profusely. Please take a look."

Ignoring the fact that Mu Nan was holding her hand, Gu Qingyue quickly reached the bedside and immediately went to check on Mu Yun Chu's wound.

The wound was below his right rib, with a blue-feathered arrow deeply embedded in the ribcage, barbs attached. The wound was bleeding profusely, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the blood was gushing out.

Gu Qingyue felt that she had wasted her time drinking Longjing tea this morning.

He took a deep breath, dismissed Doctor Lu, and immediately took out silver needles from his backpack, inserting them into several acupoints. Within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the bleeding had significantly decreased.

"Dr. Gu, your skill with silver needles is truly unparalleled!" Dr. Lu, his hands stained with blood, disregarded the bloodstains all over his body and watched with envy as Gu Qingyue removed the silver needles one by one and arranged them on the silver needle sheath.

"It's only a temporary stop to the bleeding; the bleeding will increase when the sword is pulled out," Gu Qingyue said calmly, without even raising her head, as she arranged the silver needles.

Doctor Lu paused for a second, then said with a face full of shame, "My skills are insufficient, and I fear I cannot save Commander Mu. Doctor Gu, do you have any way to remove the arrowhead and save Commander Mu's life?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Nan's heart sank to the bottom. His master must not be harmed. If anything were to happen to his master—he dared not think about it. Now he could only place his hopes on Gu Qingyue.

Therefore, his eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at Gu Qingyue.

Gu Qingyue coughed uncomfortably under the gaze of the two men, then carefully examined the position of the arrow in her body and said, "We still need Doctor Lu's help. It will be easier to remove the arrow from the back. Mu Nan, go and cut a slice of ginseng for Captain Mu to hold in his mouth. Doctor Lu, let's cut off the arrow tail and smooth it out first, then quickly push it out from the back. This way, the wound will be smaller. If we dig out the arrowhead from the front, I'm afraid Captain Mu won't be able to withstand it."

Once Gu Qingyue made up her mind, she quickly gave the orders, as Mu Yun Chu's condition could not be delayed.

After saying that, she got up and started taking out some essential items from her backpack.

The room gradually quieted down, and everyone was busy with their own preparations. No one noticed Mu Yun Chu gradually waking up.

Hearing the noise from the room, Mu Yun Chu turned her head slightly and saw Gu Qing Yue arranging medical supplies on the table in front of the bed. She lowered her head slightly, and a ray of sunlight shone through the tent onto her slender shoulders, the halo of light turning her profile into a golden glow. At this moment, she was holy, calm, solemn, and as steady as a rock, giving people a sense of inexplicable peace of mind.

“Qingyue-----” Mu Yun Chu’s weak voice came.

Gu Qingyue turned her head and saw Mu Yun Chu staring at her with her eyelids slightly open.

"Captain Mu, what do you think?"

When Gu Qingyue saw Mu Yun Chu wake up, she was about to place her hand on his wrist pulse, but unexpectedly, Mu Yun Chu grabbed her hand.

Gu Qingyue: ......

Is he confused from being seriously injured?

"Commander Mu? Mu Yun Chu?" Gu Qing Yue leaned closer, tilted her head slightly forward, and called out softly.

She struggled a couple of times, but fearing she might hurt the man in front of her, she couldn't break free. She could only let him hold her hand, and then used her other hand to open his torn clothes to check the wound.

"Light Moon-------"

"Hmm?" Gu Qingyue looked at the wound; it wasn't bleeding yet.

"How do you feel?" Gu Qingyue turned her head and looked at Mu Yun Chu's pale face, asking.

"Thank you for saving me."

Mu Yun Chu was having great difficulty speaking and was on the verge of fainting. These were symptoms of excessive blood loss and low blood pressure.

"Hold on, I will definitely save you. Don't worry, just hang in there."

Seeing the man's drowsy appearance, Gu Qingyue felt a little uncomfortable and flustered for some reason.

"I'll ask you for payment, don't be shy, just hang in there," Gu Qingyue whispered in the man's ear as he fainted again, not knowing if he could hear her.

She wanted to offer the patient emotional support, as the patient's will to live is crucial in treatment. Besides, she had already considered Mu Yun Chu a friend.

Although Mu Yun Chu's wound was not in a vital area, she had lost too much blood and was in great danger. Especially when the arrow was pulled out, if she hadn't been able to hold on, she might have become a corpse under the current medical conditions.

"Qingyue, the ginseng slices are ready," Mu Nan's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Gu Qingyue turned around, wanting to stand up, but Mu Yun Chu still held her hand. Gu Qingyue struggled twice before she managed to pull her hand away. She took the porcelain bowl containing ginseng slices from Mu Nan's hand as if nothing had happened and walked towards the table.

Completely ignoring Mu Nan's stunned silence upon seeing that scene.

Mu Nan: ······

He seems to have discovered something extraordinary.

With everything prepared, Mu Nan removed Mu Yun Chu's shirt and helped him lean against her.

Gu Qingyue and Doctor Lu deftly cut off the tail of the arrow with scissors and smoothed the base until it was free of barbs.

Next comes the most crucial moment.

With a muffled groan of pain, Mu Yun Chu was swiftly pushed out from behind by Gu Qing Yue, who was holding the arrow by the tail.

With a line of blood gushing out violently.

Shocking.

Gu Qingyue immediately pressed gauze against the wound and quickly sealed several major acupoints with silver needles. She pressed her right hand firmly against his wrist pulse, closely monitoring his vital signs.

"You may all leave now, Doctor Lu. I'll have to trouble you to prepare the medicine yourself. Please bring the prescription you just prepared over in about half an hour. Thank you."

Gu Qingyue sent the two away, and only after Doctor Lu and Mu Nan left the tent, looking back every few steps, did she immediately place her right hand on Mu Yun Chu's wound, and wisps of light purple light began to frantically flow into his body.

As Gu Qingyue watched her wound begin to heal and the bleeding stop, large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.

The acupuncture treatment had almost depleted her mental energy, and now that she was expelling healing energy, Gu Qingyue felt dizzy and her vision blurred.

In fact, Mu Yun Chu's condition was extremely critical just now. The moment the arrow was pulled out, he stopped breathing. If he hadn't received healing energy, even if he survived, he might not wake up again.

Gu Qingyue lost the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, let go of her hand, lost her balance, and fell down on her bottom on the edge of the couch.

After a short while, Gu Qingyue took out anti-inflammatory and nutritional injections from her spatial storage and injected them into Mu Yun Chu.

She checked his pulse again; although it was weak, it was gradually slowing down, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the wound was disinfected, treated, bandaged, and everything was ready, Dr. Lu happened to walk in carrying a bowl of herbal soup.

Next, we can hand it over to Doctor Lu.
