Chapter 129 "Miracle Doctor" Descends to the Outer Camp
Dr. Xu froze, staring at her incredulously, his voice stammering, "How did you know? Could it be that I..."
"That's right, I recognized it at first glance."
Jiang Yutang readily admitted this, reaching out to support her shoulder and patiently persuading her, "Ayi is still young. Although there are soldiers guarding the camp, she still needs her family by her side. If you stay at the camp, it will be safe for you, and you can take care of her. Please also take care of my family. My second sister-in-law is quite far along in her pregnancy and could give birth at any time."
Dr. Xu gripped the bundle on his shoulders tightly with both hands, his eyes instantly filling with tears. Looking at the honest and righteous girl in front of him, he nodded heavily.
Jiang Yutang gave her a reassuring smile, patted her shoulder, picked up his medicine box, and walked into the group heading to the outer camp without looking back.
Walking through the crowd, the flickering light of the torches casting shadows, she subconsciously searched for Jiang Huaiyu's figure.
Before the soldiers lined up in neat rows behind her, she first saw Cheng Lanzhou. He was dressed in military uniform, his posture upright, and he was giving orders to his subordinates in a low voice, his expression stern.
Jiang Yutang was not surprised; in such a critical moment, he would definitely take the lead.
Soon, she saw Jiang Huaiyu ahead of another group.
"Third Brother!" she shouted.
Jiang Huaiyu was giving instructions to his subordinates when he heard that familiar voice. He froze, turned around abruptly, and saw his sister dressed in light, practical clothes and carrying a medicine box.
His expression changed drastically, and he rushed forward, his voice urgent: "Why are you here?"
Jiang Yutang looked up at his anxious expression and explained, "There aren't enough doctors in the outer camp, so they sent me to help."
"ah......"
Jiang Huaiyu rubbed his head anxiously, turned around in place, and his tone suddenly became extremely serious: "Listen, once you get to the front line, absolutely do not go to dangerous places, do not be alone, and no matter what happens, tell me immediately, and I will send people to protect you!"
"I understand!" Jiang Yutang nodded emphatically, and then added, "You must also be careful in everything you do. Swords have no eyes, so you must protect yourself."
It was still late at night when the team set off, shrouded in darkness, and quickly advanced towards the outer camp.
Jiang Yutang carried a bundle on her back and a heavy medicine box in her hands. The bottles and jars inside swayed with her steps. They were heavy and cumbersome, and her wrists soon ached.
A young soldier standing nearby, seeing that she was a woman and looked frail, kindly suggested, "Miss Jiang, the medicine box is too heavy. Why don't you put it on the supply cart?"
She quickly nodded her thanks and followed the soldier to the wagons transporting provisions.
From afar, one could see Cheng Lanzhou standing in front, talking quietly with Captain Wu, his expression solemn.
She instinctively lowered her head, wanting only to quickly put away her first-aid kit and leave to avoid an embarrassing collision.
As she approached, Cheng Lanzhou noticed her.
When Cheng Lanzhou turned around and saw her coming, there was a moment of surprise in his eyes, then his brows furrowed and he asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?"
Seeing that she couldn't dodge it, Jiang Yutang explained softly, "The outer camp needs medical support, so I'm here to help."
Cheng Lanzhou stared at her for a moment, then finally exhaled: "Stay with my team and don't wander off."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yutang looked at him in surprise.
On second thought, she realized that nowhere was safer than being with Cheng Lanzhou, so she immediately nodded and said, "Okay."
As dawn approached, the troops drew closer and closer to the outer camp.
Having traveled all night, they were almost there, and Jiang Yutang's heart tightened.
In such a short distance, if the outer camp were to be breached by the bandits, the people in the city and the soldiers in the camp would all perish within half a day.
Jiang Huaiyu was carrying a water bottle and looking for her everywhere. When he couldn't find her, he broke out in a cold sweat.
A soldier beside him told him that Miss Jiang had gone to put away her medicine box. He hurriedly went to find her and saw her following Cheng Lanzhou's group. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Huaiyu walked to her side and lowered her voice: "It's good for you to follow Cheng Lanzhou. As long as he doesn't betray you, you'll be the safest person around him."
Jiang Yutang's eyes widened, and she quickly glanced at Cheng Lanzhou not far away.
Unfortunately, Cheng Lanzhou heard everything, and looked at them both with a frighteningly gloomy expression.
She quickly pulled Jiang Huaiyu aside and whispered a reproach: "How dare you say such careless things?"
Jiang Huaiyu, however, put away his usual playful demeanor and became unusually serious: "I'm serious. He's the commander-in-chief and won't go to the battlefield unless absolutely necessary. I'll be the first to charge, and I won't be able to take care of you then. Just stay by his side."
Looking at Jiang Huaiyu's composed profile, Jiang Yutang felt a pang of worry and nodded emphatically: "I understand. The battlefield is not a game. I'm here to save people, not to cause trouble."
The moment they arrived at the outer camp, the sounds of fighting and screams could be faintly heard.
Jiang Yutang craned his neck to look in the direction of the sound, and was so frightened that he couldn't help but swear.
"Why did they start fighting so close together? Shouldn't they have moved to a different location first?"
The soldier next to him explained, "The fighting was so intense that we were just trying to stabilize the situation; there was simply no time to move the battlefield."
Two soldiers immediately led her into a makeshift tent for wounded soldiers. Two local doctors were already busy inside, but the tent was still crowded with wounded soldiers, some with broken arms and others bleeding profusely. The scene was shocking.
Jiang Yutang gasped. Without thinking, she immediately put down her first-aid kit, took out disinfectant, gauze, and anti-inflammatory medicine she had brought from the modern era, and quickly walked to the side of the most seriously injured soldier.
"I'll handle this!"
When the other doctor saw that a young girl had arrived, he frowned and said, "Why send a medical apprentice? Don't you have any other doctors in the camp?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than she deftly cleaned, disinfected, and sutured the wound, quickly stabilizing the injured person's condition.
They were immediately speechless.
"Please believe me, I won't hold you back!" Jiang Yutang said firmly, her eyes fixed on the two doctors.
The two doctors said nothing more, and the three of them performed their duties in an orderly manner to treat the wounded.
Wounded people continued to be carried in, and the smell of blood in the tent grew stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, two soldiers rushed in carrying a person, shouting, "Quickly, save Commander Yan!"
An old doctor rushed forward to examine the officer and saw that the officer had a deep gash on his thigh that exposed the bone, and his clothes were soaked with blood.
They immediately began suturing, but blood kept seeping out along the stitches. Even after suturing and bandaging, the bleeding couldn't be stopped.
The old doctor shook his head, looking troubled: "The wound is too deep, damaging an artery. We can only leave it to fate."
The implication was that there was no way to reverse the situation.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yutang stepped forward, glanced at the wound, and immediately took out Yunnan Baiyao hemostatic capsules from the medicine box. He then gave them to Yan Xiaowei to take, quickly untied the gauze that had just been sewn up, took out the gelatin sponge he had brought, and carefully inserted it deep into the wound to apply pressure.
"What are you doing!"
Upon seeing this, the two doctors reprimanded him sternly: "The wound has just been stitched up. If you keep doing this, aren't you going to kill him?"
