"What solution? What solution?"
Li, the guard, paused for a moment, then quickly asked.
The other guards also looked over.
"In a nearby village, there lives a renowned doctor..."
As Magu recounted his story, the eyes of Li Huwei and the others gradually lit up.
They had also heard of the old doctor Chen that Ma Gu mentioned.
According to legend, this old doctor was highly skilled in medicine and was appreciated by many noble people; even the county magistrate praised him.
I had heard that this old doctor did not live in the city, but I never expected that he would live in a nearby village.
With such a skilled doctor nearby, Li and his men immediately decided to abandon their risk and take the young master back to the city.
"Brother Ma, where is Jiuli Village?" Guard Li asked anxiously.
“It’s about three or four miles from us. I have one of my men who is very familiar with that area. He can take you there!” Magu said.
He had previously sent his subordinate Xiao Tian to Jiuli Village to investigate Lu Qing, but unexpectedly, he came in handy here.
Magu immediately called Xiaotian, and then, under his leadership, the group set off for Jiuli Village.
On the way, Ma Gu finally learned how Young Master Wei had fallen into the valley.
It turned out that he was chasing a strange little beast, and even when he reached the edge of the cliff, he refused to give up. As a result, he lost his footing and fell off.
Fortunately, the valley wasn't very deep, and there were some trees blocking the way.
With the Wei family's strong support and abundant resources, Young Master Wei's martial arts realm has reached the Qi and Blood Realm, and his physical fitness is quite good.
That's how he managed to avoid dying immediately.
Otherwise, even if he had ten lives, he would have lost them all from that fall.
After hearing Li Huwei's account, Magu was utterly speechless.
How incredibly stupid must someone be to fall down a valley while chasing a wild beast, especially considering he's a martial artist at the Qi and Blood Realm?
The group hurried to Jiuli Village, and led by Xiaotian, headed straight for the small courtyard on the hillside where Doctor Chen lived.
Upon arriving at the courtyard, Magu saw a familiar figure.
He cried out repeatedly, "Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu, help me! Help me!"
Lu Qing, who was drying medicinal herbs in the yard, was startled.
Looking back, he was quite surprised to see Magu, who was leading the group.
I thought I would have to wait until the next big market day to run into him again, but I didn't expect to see him again after only one day.
"Master Ma, what's the matter?" Lu Qing asked.
"Young Master Lu, is Doctor Chen home? We have a patient here with very serious injuries who urgently needs his treatment!" Ma Gu said urgently.
Lu Qing then saw the stretcher behind him.
Although he was surprised that the person lying on top was the richly dressed young man, he knew that the situation was urgent and quickly moved aside.
"Please come in quickly, Master is resting inside. I'll go and call him right away!"
After saying that, he ran into the courtyard.
Magu and the others quickly followed.
The old doctor was just taking a light nap in his room when he was awakened by the noise outside.
By the time Magu and the others entered the courtyard, he had already come out of the house.
Seeing the pale face of Young Master Wei on the stretcher, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
He stepped forward and took her pulse, his expression grave.
He ordered, "Quickly carry the person inside."
At the same time, he said to Lu Qing, "Qing, go and brew a blood-tonifying medicine right away. Atractylodes macrocephala, Angelica sinensis... add three bowls of water, boil it over high heat, and be quick!"
"Yes, Master!"
After hearing this, Lu Qing immediately ran to the medicine cabinet and began to get the medicine.
Although he has spent most of his free time these days practicing martial arts.
However, at the mountainside courtyard, he mostly learned medical knowledge from his master.
With his special abilities, Lu Qing learns everything extremely quickly.
In just a few days, I not only mastered the skills of dispensing medicine, but also learned a simple method of decocting medicine.
After preparing the medicine, Lu Qing began to brew it according to her master's instructions.
The stove used for decocting medicine is specially made, and the size of the fire can be adjusted at will.
Lu Qing immediately launched a swift and decisive attack, and soon the medicinal soup was ready.
He poured the medicine into a bowl and stared intently at it.
Soon, the medicinal liquid in the bowl began to glow white.
【Blood-Nourishing Soup: A medicinal soup made from various herbs, effective in nourishing and replenishing blood, and protecting the heart and blood vessels.】
【Due to the rapid boiling over high heat, the medicinal properties of the herbs were damaged, and they did not fully exert their effects, yielding only about 70% of their normal efficacy.】
Seeing the information provided by his superpower, Lu Qing finally felt relieved.
As long as the medicine wasn't prepared incorrectly, there's nothing that can be done about any damage to its medicinal properties.
Given such a hasty approach, achieving 70% efficacy is already quite good.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the medicine, Lu Qing quickly took it and rushed over there.
At this time, the young master Wei had been moved to the ward. Apart from the guard Li, everyone else was asked by the old doctor to wait outside for the time being.
Upon seeing Lu Qing approach, everyone made way for him, and no one dared to obstruct him in the slightest.
Lu Qing entered the room and saw that the young master Wei had been stripped of his shirt and had many silver needles stuck in his body.
The horrific wound on his abdomen made Lu Qing's heart skip a beat.
"Master, the medicine is ready."
Lu Qing handed over the medicine.
The doctor took the medicine, smelled it, and nodded slightly after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it.
"You feed him his medicine," the old doctor instructed.
"Yes, Master."
Lu Qing picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of medicine, and steadily fed it to Young Master Wei.
However, at this moment, Young Master Wei was almost unconscious, so how could he possibly drink the medicine?
But this was no challenge for the old doctor.
He reached out and pinched Wei Xiaogongzi's throat a few times, and then Wei Xiaogongzi's throat miraculously began to move, allowing him to drink the spoonful of medicine.
Next, the medicine was prepared in the same way. With the help of his master and his assistant, Young Master Wei drank the bowl of medicine little by little.
The doctor continued to administer acupuncture to help the patient absorb the medicine as quickly as possible.
After drinking a bowl of herbal medicine and receiving acupuncture from the old doctor, Wei Xiao Gongzi's face finally stopped looking so pale, and his chest and abdomen began to rise and fall slightly.
Li, the guard, had been watching nervously from the sidelines. Seeing this scene, he finally felt a weight lifted from his heart.
He knew that the young master and his guards had been temporarily pulled back from the brink of disaster.
"Dr. Chen, how is my young master?"
Seeing that the old doctor had stopped, Guard Li quickly asked.
The old doctor pondered for a moment and said, "This boy is lucky. Despite such a large incision in his abdomen, his internal organs and intestines were not damaged. It's a stroke of good fortune amidst misfortune."
"However, he lost too much blood, his head was also hit, and he had many cuts on his hands and feet. His condition is still not optimistic."
"I can only keep him alive temporarily with herbal medicine and acupuncture. As for when he will wake up, it's hard to say."
Hearing the old doctor say that the young master's life had been saved for the time being, Guard Li finally felt a little relieved.
As long as the person is still alive, there is still a chance to salvage the situation.
Otherwise, if the young master dies, even if the few of them manage to escape, their families will have nowhere to run.
"Doctor, what can we do now?" Guard Li asked.
The old doctor thought for a moment and said, "The biggest problem for this young man right now is that he has lost too much blood. The upper part of his abdomen is just an external injury and his intestines have not been damaged. If we had enough ginseng, he shou wu, and tian qi, which are holy medicines for replenishing blood and stopping bleeding, I would be more confident in saving his life."
At this point, the old doctor still felt a little regretful.
If the ginseng that Lu Qing brought a few days ago were still there, he could preserve the young man's vitality to the greatest extent possible.
In this situation, even if the boy can be saved, he will likely be severely weakened.
"Ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, and Panax notoginseng, is that right? Don't worry, doctor, I'll send someone back to the city to get them right away!"
After saying this, Guard Li walked outside.
Outside, Magu and the others were waiting anxiously. When they saw Guard Li come out, they immediately rushed over.
"How is he? How is the young master?"
"Young master is alright for now."
Li's words immediately brought a sigh of relief to everyone, especially the guards, who looked as if they had just escaped a disaster.
"However, the young master's condition is still not good. Old Zhao, you and Xiao Gu go back now and report what happened here to the matriarch. Also, ask her to go to the medicine storehouse and get some ginseng, he shou wu, and tian qi, among other blood-tonifying herbs. The old doctor said that with these herbs, the young master's chances of survival will be much greater..."
Under Li's command, the two guards whose names were called solemnly accepted the order and quickly left.
Upon hearing this, Magu's eyes darted around.
Then he pulled his subordinate Xiao Tian aside and whispered instructions.
“Go back to my study and fetch me the sword that hangs there.”
