Chapter 128 A Doctor Falls from the Sky
The tall, thin man snapped out of his daze, took the bundle, and said, "The man Cheng Tou sent out has brought back a doctor today."
"Doctor?"
"Yes, they said they met a herbalist on the other side of the mountain. That herbalist is skilled at treating leg ailments."
The tall, thin man paused for a moment, then continued, "It's mainly for examining the leg of Constable Chen. However, Lord Zhu said that after examining Constable Chen, any family in need can also call a doctor. If the Wen family needs one, I can ask Lord Zhu for permission."
"In that case, thank you for your trouble, sir."
After speaking, the tall, thin man picked up his bundle, turned around, and walked away.
The person inside heard every word spoken outside the door.
Driven by her curiosity, Wenwen said, "Grandfather, I'll go take a look."
"Well, be careful."
Wenwen went out alone, quickly disappearing into the distance. She knew the way well and dodged and hid along the way.
Soon, she arrived at the familiar spot.
Looking towards the cave, the fire at the cave entrance was burning brightly, and the medicinal herbs in the large pot were still steaming.
The firelight illuminated the entire cave, and many people, young and old, were going in and out. Everyone was bent over and clutching their stomachs; upon closer inspection, they were probably rushing out to relieve themselves.
Wenwen couldn't help but sigh.
Sigh, dysentery is a real problem. The saying "illness enters through the mouth" is always true.
Imagine being injured and frightened, then getting soaked in the rain while hiking up a mountain, and then staying in such a dark and damp cave. Even the strongest body would have problems, and in serious cases, it could even cost them their lives.
After some investigation, Wenwen discovered that the medicinal herbs at the cave entrance had been changed.
The pot has been replaced with herbs for treating dysentery, but probably because of a shortage of herbs, the pot on the left is filled with herbal medicine, while the pot on the right is filled with a bunch of dissolved pills that can be taken as a ready-to-eat soup.
When there are many patients and medicines are in short supply, this can be a viable solution.
Wenwen felt uneasy watching the prisoners coming and going. They were all exiles, so she thought she should lend a hand if she could.
She searched through the medicinal herbs and the pile of pills she had refined in her space, and using the space's functions, she secretly moved them to the pile of herbs and the bundle in the corner.
Hopefully, her thoughtful gesture will help everyone get through this difficult time.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Wenwen moved a little closer and came to the vicinity of Lord Zhu's private tent.
Judging from the figures peeking out from the tent, there were quite a few people inside.
At this moment, the doctor was probably explaining the condition of Chen's injuries to Lord Zhu. The doctor's voice was clear and steady, and it could be heard outside through the tent.
Wenwen pricked up her ears, trying to eavesdrop on something.
Hmm, why does this voice sound a little familiar? Her attention was suddenly completely drawn to it.
At this moment, Wenwen desperately wished she had X-ray vision. If only she could see through the tent and see the doctor's true face, and confirm her suspicions, that would be wonderful.
Unfortunately, she didn't have that ability.
Just as they were feeling sorry for him, a soldier rushed in from outside the tent, grabbed the doctor's hand, and tried to pull him out.
The soldier said anxiously, "Doctor, come with me to the other tent quickly, there's something even more serious over there, hurry!"
All that could be heard was Lord Zhu waving his hand, "Go, go, everything's fine here for now."
Wenwen was looking forward to seeing the doctor's true colors.
The soldier lifted the curtain, and the doctor looked up and came out.
Just then, the fire was burning brightly, enough to clearly illuminate the doctor's face.
Wenwen looked up.
really!
Her guess was right.
The doctor was Ye's uncle.
But how did Uncle Ye get here? Was it a coincidence or just a coincidence?
Wenwen watched as Uncle Ye followed the soldiers into the soldiers' large tent.
Now that her suspicions had been confirmed, she should head home.
Rainy nights are perfect for doing things discreetly.
At this moment, Wenwen felt fortunate that the rain was still falling tonight.
She needed to go back and report to her family, and also think of a way to invite a doctor to come and treat her father.
The tall, thin constable said that the doctor was skilled at treating leg ailments, and since his father's leg injury had not yet healed, this was a perfect fit.
With this thought in mind, Wenwen started running again.
A gust of wind blew into the house, and no one was surprised anymore; the family was already used to her entrance.
A figure appeared before Wen Yuanqian. "Grandfather, guess who I saw over there?"
Wenwen had an expression that said she already knew the answer, but wanted you to guess it anyway.
She thought that since this was a secret she had just discovered, it could at least remain a mystery for a while. Little did she know that her wish would be shattered.
Wen Yuanqian's eyes were bright and he looked very confident.
"Who is it? A doctor? Your Uncle Ye?!"
"Huh?" Wenwen stared wide-eyed in disbelief, questioning.
"Grandfather, how did you know?"
"Ha, Grandfather has precognitive abilities, do you believe it? Haha..."
Wenwen!
Hmph, Grandfather is quite the joker.
It has to be said, experience truly matters!
"Grandfather, shouldn't we think of a way to ask a doctor to come over?"
"Of course not, no need!"
"No need? Or perhaps..."
Wen Qilin walked over and tapped his daughter's head. "I told you not to worry so much, but you wouldn't listen. You're such a busybody!"
"I have a brilliant plan. Your uncle will come to us himself. Just wait!"
Therefore, although the Wen family did not mention it, they kept a close eye on the footsteps outside the door.
If they hadn't known they needed to avoid suspicion, they would have waited by the cave and given their Uncle Ye an unforgettable welcome.
Time passed slowly, and it was almost midnight.
The Wen family's children couldn't stay awake any longer and had already gone to sleep.
Apart from the sounds of wind and rain, there were no footsteps outside.
In the meantime, Wen Yuanqian also took Wen Qilin and two juniors to the mountaintop. They finished their cultivation there and returned, but still hadn't seen Ye Jingchuan arrive.
Just as everyone was getting a little impatient, several footsteps finally sounded near the treehouse.
Everyone inside perked up, looking energetic, and waited patiently.
Wen Yuanqian opened the door and went out, standing in front of the door.
The footsteps stopped a few steps away from the door.
A tall, thin voice rang out, "Master Wen, the doctor has arrived."
"Thank you, sir!"
"Lord Zhu has instructed that the physician will stay at your house temporarily, so please treat him well!"
"Yes, yes, I understand. Please summon the doctor!"
The tall, thin constable gave his explanation and then turned and walked into the rain.
The doctor strode into the room, and the curtain was drawn, shutting out the sounds of wind, rain, and walls from outside.
Wenwen saw Uncle Ye standing at the door, wearing a farmer's raincoat that looked tailor-made for him—not too long, not too short, just right, and perfectly suited to the season.
He carried a medicine box in his arms and a basket full of herbs on his back.
At this moment, Wenwen could only describe Uncle Ye as follows: after much anticipation, he finally appeared, still holding a medicine box and half-concealing his face!
