Chapter 7 I am his wife, what place haven't I seen before?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yutang's heart sank. Could it be that the original owner had pinched him too hard?

"Explain what happened!"

Cheng Dai'er was so anxious that she was incoherent and could only describe Cheng Lanzhou's symptoms in broken sentences.

"He was burning up and sweating profusely, but kept saying he was cold."

This sounds like a fever caused by a wound infection. Jiang Yutang frowned slightly, grabbed the bundle beside her and threw it behind her: "Take me to see a doctor."

Even though it was spoken in a commanding tone, Cheng Daier didn't have time to care at that moment. She was only concerned about her critically ill younger brother, and she ran the short distance.

In another open space, the usually dignified Lin was seen helplessly changing Cheng Lanzhou's wet handkerchief.

"Mother, I've brought the people here."

Lin immediately straightened her back and looked at Jiang Yutang, placing her hands in front of her and forcing a calm expression as she pondered before speaking: "I've heard you have some medical knowledge, although I have my doubts, after all, you are..."

"Get out of the way."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yutang interrupted her, bypassing Lin Shi to check on Cheng Lanzhou's condition.

She had just squatted down to check when she froze when her gaze fell on Cheng Lanzhou's face.

At this moment, Cheng Lanzhou lay on the cart with his eyes closed, his two swords twisted together as if fighting. His uneasy and tightly pursed lips, coupled with his sickly pale face, revealed an unusual weakness.

Isn't this a battle-worn beauty?

Seeing that her younger brother was stiff and motionless, Cheng Daier thought that her brother was terminally ill and hurriedly urged him to move.

"How is it? You should take a look!"

Coming to his senses, Jiang Yutang swallowed hard and sighed inwardly: Beauty can be a trap.

She immediately regained her serious demeanor, placed the back of her hand on Cheng Lanzhou's forehead to examine him, frowned, clicked her tongue, and gently lifted the other's eyelids to examine him.

Lin and Cheng Dai'er stood nervously behind, peering out and anxiously asking, "How is my brother?"

"The initial assessment is that the fever is caused by a wound infection."

Lin stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "...What's so slutty?"

Before she could explain, Cheng Dai'er started cursing.

"Jiang Yutang! What nonsense are you spouting? My brother is a dignified general, how could you, an ignorant and shameless scoundrel, use such words to describe him!"

"That's not what I meant," Jiang Yutang explained with a wry smile. "He just has a fever. You two, come and help me turn him over. I need to check the wound on his back."

It took the three women, hand in hand, to carefully turn Cheng Lanzhou over.

In a half-dreaming, half-awake state, Cheng Lanzhou vaguely heard people talking, arguing about "taking off clothes" and "no".

"Who knows what you're up to? You couldn't wait to strip a man's clothes in the middle of nowhere. Don't you have any shame?"

Jiang Yutang laughed in exasperation, made a soft sound, pressed her tongue against her cheek, and then looked back at Cheng Lanzhou.

"First of all, you're the ones who called me here to save him. Secondly, nominally I'm his wife. I've seen all sorts of places. His back is nothing more than rice in the eyes of us doctors. Finally, if you stop me again, you'll bear the consequences of delaying treatment."

After saying that, Jiang Yutang stood up, as if preparing to leave.

Lin panicked and hurriedly called out to the person again: "Tuotuo!"

Before Cheng Dai'er could say anything more, she was stopped by a look from Madam Lin, and could only glare at her with a wary look.

Jiang Yutang and Cheng Daier exchanged a glance, and Jiang Yutang's lips curled up slightly, which displeased Cheng Daier.

The mother and daughter watched Jiang Yutang's every move as if he were a criminal.

After removing the outer garment, Jiang Yutang saw that the inner garment was completely stained with blood. She tried to pull the garment down and found that the inner underwear was stuck to her flesh.

She took out scissors from her bundle and cut open her clothes. The bloody, mangled side caused the other two to turn their heads away, unable to bear to look.

After the wound is exposed, it is disinfected with hydrogen peroxide.

"The next step will be a little painful. If he struggles, you two must hold him down." Jiang Yutang shook the medicine bottle in her hand, and before the two could answer, she fell down towards the wound.

"Hmm—"

The wound foamed the moment it came into contact with hydrogen peroxide, and blood flowed down her body. Cheng Lanzhou struggled uncontrollably.

Cheng Lanzhou was a martial artist, and his strength was so great that it took Lin Shi and Cheng Dai'er a lot of effort to hold down his hands and feet.

"My son, bear with it, it'll be over soon..."

Hearing the other person's muffled groan of pain, Jiang Yutang quickly cleaned the wound, applied Yunnan Baiyao, and then skillfully bandaged it with gauze.

At this moment, Cheng Lanzhou gradually regained consciousness and felt someone putting something into his mouth. When he heard Jiang Yutang's voice, he immediately clenched his teeth.

"Ah! He...he bit me! Quick, pry his mouth open!"

Jiang Yutang's good deed in saving someone went unappreciated; instead, she was bitten in return by the patient. Looking at the teeth marks on her finger, her temper flared up.

"These are your medicines, you can give them to yourselves." He tossed Cheng Daier a pill of ibuprofen and stormed off.

It's true what they say, good intentions go unrewarded. She was worried about Cheng Lanzhou and even gave him a painkiller, only to end up taking a bite for nothing.

It wasn't until she went back and lay down for a while that Jiang Yutang's anger gradually subsided.

Perhaps because of the back-and-forth between two worlds, I slept surprisingly soundly this time.

As soon as it was light, Jiang Yutang went with her family to grab some porridge, the only meal she could swallow that day, because if she went too late, it would be gone.

Mu blew on the porridge to cool it down and fed it to the child in small sips. The others held the chipped bowls expressionlessly, as if they had never imagined that their once wealthy and noble life would turn into this in the blink of an eye.

Yun slowly sat down next to Jiang Yutang and let out a soft sigh.

"Your mother went to feed your father porridge just now, but he only ate a few mouthfuls. Why hasn't he woken up yet?"

The weariness on the woman's face looked like threads coiled around her eyes, and there was no light in her eyes.

"Mother, don't worry, I'll go check on Father right away." Jiang Yutang finished the rest of the porridge in two gulps, wiped her mouth, and got up.

Jiang Shengan's face was as pale as ever, but his injuries had indeed improved considerably, so his dressing was changed again.

"The wound is healing. As long as it can recover, it's only a matter of time before Dad wakes up. Everyone, please don't worry."

Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Jiang Songzhi carefully examined his father's wound and said in surprise, "It is indeed much better than yesterday. Tang'er's medicine is truly miraculous."

"What kind of medicine is this? Could it be that my clever little sister developed it herself?" Jiang Huaiyu nudged Jiang Songzhi with her shoulder, jokingly.

Jiang Sumin glanced at Jiang Yutang indifferently, then subtly looked away.

"No, it's just ordinary medicine."

Jiang Yutang greeted the group with a smile, and just as she finished packing her things, she saw Cheng Daier walking over arrogantly.

"Hey, my brother's awake, he's looking for you."
