Chapter 155

155 Something Happened

“Okay, I’ll take off your name tag tomorrow. If anyone comes to you for a follow-up, I’ll personally take them over.”

Imperial Doctor Tian’s thoughts were in line with mo Ruxi’s. Even if she didn’t make any requests, he would take the initiative to make arrangements.

He was also full of hope for this operation. He hoped that the old woman would be able to survive. At the same time, he also hoped that Mo Ruyue would put all her energy on the old woman.

After Imperial Doctor Tian left, Mo Ruyue moved a chair and sat down by the old woman’s bed.

!!

She didn’t need to stare at the old woman all the time. Just by listening to her breathing, she could roughly judge whether her condition was stable or deteriorating.

After an unknown period of time, there was a sudden knock on the door and Mo Ruyue’s little assistant poked her head out from behind the door.

“Lady Qin, it’s time to eat. You should rest and let me watch over here?”

“What’s for dinner tonight? If there are buns, give me a few. Wrap them in oil paper so my hands don’t get oily.”

Mo Ruyue shook her head. The sky was already dark, and the body’s resistance would be relatively weaker at night. Moreover, this old woman was getting on in years and had other diseases, so they had to be more careful.

“Eh? How do you know we’re eating steamed buns tonight? it’s still cabbage and pork, and the filling is made with sesame oil, so it’s very fresh.”

This little assistant had a good talent in medical skills. He was smart, sharp-eyed, and skillful. He was bold and meticulous. He was indeed a good seedling for studying medicine. It was just that he was a little lively and a little talkative.

After he finished talking to Mo Ruyue, he realized that his old habit had acted up again and smiled awkwardly. Seeing that Mo Ruyue didn’t blame him, he turned around and ran away.

Not long after, the little assistant came back again. This time, he brought back a bulging oil-paper bag, which was stuffed with seven or eight white, fat, and soft big buns.

Behind him was another medicine boy holding a basin of water and a towel. The latter directly placed the things on the table by the door.

“Lady Qin, quickly eat after you wash your hands. If there’s anything else, just tell us to do it.”

After the assistant finished speaking, he left with the other medicine boy.

After Mo Ruyue washed his hands, he tore off a piece of oil paper and ate the bun. It tasted pretty good.

She only stopped after eating five buns in a row. She wrapped the rest of the buns in oil paper again and kept them for later in the night when she was hungry. She would heat them up in her interspace to fill her stomach.

She didn’t stay idle for the rest of the time. She took out two medical books from the library in her interspace to pass the time.

They were all ancient medical books collected in the library, and the medical cases and prescriptions were all-inclusive. Mo Ruyue thought that since she had entered Huichun Hall, she would encounter all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases in the future, so she should supplement her knowledge reserve more.

Of course, she could not just memorize the medical cases and prescriptions for nothing. She still needed to think about it herself and repeatedly think through the symptoms and the principles of the medicine. Only after she understood these could the things in the books be used for her own use and become her real ability.

Although the old woman was still unconscious, she still needed someone to help her change the medicine and bandage. She had to turn over slightly every once in a while to prevent her joints and muscles from becoming stiff and sore from maintaining the same position for a long time.

Although Mo Ruyue had been reading, she had never fallen behind in what she should do. She also did not ask her assistant or medicine boy to come over to help. Too many people would only be a hindrance to her, so she might as well finish the things quickly by herself.

In the middle of the night, something happened.

The old woman’s breathing suddenly became hurried, and her heart was also very unstable, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. It was clear that the situation was somewhat critical.

Mo Ruyue immediately began to carry out emergency treatment. She had already prepared medicine to control blood pressure and medicine to enhance cardiac motor. However, she had to be careful when using the medicine to prevent overconsumption from causing side effects.

Although Mo Ruyue could also bring the old woman into the medical room in her space for treatment, she would encounter many similar situations in the future. She wouldn’t be given the chance every time, so she couldn’t let herself develop the habit of relying on modern technology.

Moreover, judging from the old woman’s condition, it was not beyond control, so Mo Ruyue still left her on the bed and treated her according to the treatment plan she had previously thought of.

After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, the old woman’s condition gradually eased. At this time, Mo Ruyue called the little assistant in and asked him to do some cleaning up.

“Lady Qin, did something really happen just now? Why didn’t you ask me to help?”

The little assistant asked as he cleaned up. He didn’t mean anything else, but he felt that he had neglected his duty for not helping in such an emergency.

“I didn’t have enough time to do so, but I’ll organize it into a report later. I’ll write down the specific process and treatment method clearly. Just read it carefully.”

Although Mo Ruyue didn’t spend much time with him, she knew that he wasn’t a scheming person. She didn’t mind teaching him some things when she was free.

The little assistant chuckled. Sure enough, he could learn a lot of practical things by following Mo Ruyue.

Two days passed by in a flash. Other than the incident that happened on the first night, the rest of the time passed by smoothly. The old woman’s recovery was surprisingly good.

On the third day, when the clinic was about to close, Imperial Doctor Tian found Mo Ruyue again and advised her, “Lady Qin, you’ve already been here for two days and two nights. Now that the old woman’s condition has stabilized, you can rest assured and leave her to us.”

“I’ll be staying at the clinic tonight. You should go back and have a good rest. You can also take care of the children. You’ve been away for the past two days. You must have been thinking about each other.”

“Yes, I really miss them. Although the babies can take care of themselves well, they’re still young and I can’t let go.”

Mo Ruyue admitted it very frankly.

This was probably the first time she had been separated from the children for so long since she came to this book world. She really missed them.

Since Imperial Doctor Tian was staying at Huichun Hall tonight, Mo Ruyue had nothing to worry about. After saying goodbye to him, she got on the imperial carriage and rushed home.

Just like this, when they arrived at the entrance of the Qin Village, the sky was already completely dark. In the distant village, almost every household had their lights on, but only her own courtyards were pitch black.

“What’s going on? Even if Tang Tang is staying over at Aunt Liu’s house, the boys should still be at home. Why is there no one at home at this hour?”

Mo Ruyue was stunned. She immediately whipped the big young mule and sped up to go home.

Although the babies had been practicing martial arts with her day and night, except for Da Bao, who was born with great strength and could be of use in times of trouble, the rest of the babies only had some basic skills. Coupled with their age, body shape, and strength, they could win against their peers for sure, but they were still not enough for mountain bandits.

Could it be that… something had really happened?

She didn’t know why she had thought of this. For the first time, she felt a little flustered, and her mind was suddenly filled with a bunch of images.
