C15 A Dead Horse Should be Treated as a Living Horse Doctor

After rummaging for a long time, Zuo Shaoqing finally found a carving knife left behind by a carpenter, as well as a brazier and silver char that Luo Xiaoliu had prepared beforehand.

After moving the person onto the bed, Zuo Shaoqing covered him with a blanket and lit up the charcoal brazier. Then, he rushed out the door and looked around for Purple Pearl Grass to stop the bleeding.

When everything was ready, Zuo Shaoqing even used the teapot to get a pot of water. Thanks to Luo Xiaoliu's knowledge that he liked tea, he even prepared a teapot for Zuo Shaoqing.

After burning the carving knife on the fire, Zuo Shaoqing took a deep breath before he lifted the blanket.

"Brother, this is my first time saving someone. If I accidentally kill you, please don't blame me!" With that, he tapped the man's acupoint.

The feeling of a sharp knife stabbing into his flesh made Zuo Shaoqing's hands tremble. His eyes were a little dazed, he was too familiar with this feeling, in his previous life, he killed dozens of people using a knife.

Zuo Shaoqing bit down on his lips. The pain made his mind come back to his cage. He cut open the muscles at the edges of the wound and dug out the two arrows. Then, he applied the crushed herbs on them.

Zuo Shaoqing looked around and realized that he forgot to prepare a cloth strip. He had no choice but to take off his undergarment from the man's body, cut it into strips with a knife, and tied it to his wound.

After doing all of this, Zuo Shaoqing found that his back was cold. He was actually covered in sweat during the winter night.

He stared at the two wounds for a quarter of an hour to make sure the bleeding had stopped before he heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, he had no experience treating patients.

After pouring the hot water from the teapot onto the remaining cloth, Zuo Shaoqing simply wiped his hands. He stared at the half-naked, half-naked man on the bed and started to worry.

Based on the injuries on this man's body, he definitely wouldn't be able to get out of bed within ten days or half a month. Moreover, he just found out that this man suffered severe internal injuries.

I can't just leave him on the mountain, can I? Didn't that mean he had saved her for nothing?

Zuo Shaoqing clenched his fist and thought angrily: "I didn't expect that I, Zuo Shaoqing, would have to do something good before doing anything bad. It seems that even the heavens despise me for killing too many people in my past life."

Zuo Shaoqing turned around and walked out of the hut. He got down the mountain using Qing Gong. Then he climbed over the wall and entered the back of the academy. He entered the kitchen familiarly and wrapped two cold steamed buns from the steamer before returning to the mountain.

He put the two steamed buns beside the man's pillow. Zuo Shaoqing bent over and picked up the purse that dropped when he was taking off his clothes, then said to the person on the bed: "No matter what's inside, it's mine now. Just treat it as your medical fee."

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as you agreeing." Zuo Shaoqing looked at the well embroidered bag again and again with a tsk-tsk sound, "If Miss Zuo saw this embroidery, he probably wouldn't be so arrogant as to think that he's the best in the world. He's really a frog in the well."

Pulling open the bundle, Zuo Shaoqing poured the contents of the bag onto the table and began to stroke it with the carving knife.

Silver … No!

Silver banknotes … Nor!

Even the jade pendants that wealthy families usually did not have!

Zuo Shaoqing was slightly disappointed. He was currently a poor person with no money, if he left the Zuo Family, it would be hard for him to even take a single step.

It's better to take things step by step. Zuo Shaoqing casually picked up the few unremarkable things on the table.

A black, charcoal-like wooden sign with a strange yet familiar pattern was engraved on it. Zuo Shaoqing looked over it a few times but couldn't find anything, so he threw it aside.

A completely transparent pearl was pointed at the oil lamp and a red flower bloomed inside. It was a rare item and Zuo Shaoqing kept it in his bag.

A piece of paper with the word "Changping" written on it was scrawled on it. If Zuo Shaoqing wasn't too familiar with these two words, he wouldn't have recognized it. No matter how Zuo Shaoqing looked at it, he wouldn't have been able to see the purpose of this note, so he threw it into the brazier.

Zuo Shaoqing looked at the last item for a while but still couldn't recognize it. It seemed like a key but it didn't look like it was worth a lot. Zuo Shaoqing just threw it together with the wooden plate.

"Looks like this person's identity isn't as simple as being rich." Zuo Shaoqing knew that if the purse was filled with silver coins, it wouldn't be anything special. However, there wasn't even a single copper coin in the purse. This meant that this person was used to not taking money with him.

"To be able to be carried inside such a beautiful bag, I guess these are all important items. Let's first collect them before thinking about anything else." Zuo Shaoqing happily put everything back into his pocket and decided to take it for himself.

Seeing that the sky was about to brighten, Zuo Shaoqing did not stay any longer. He turned his head and glanced at the unconscious man, then flew towards the Zuo's Mansion.

When he returned to the small courtyard, he happened to have just passed Yin. Before Nanny Liu woke up, Zuo Shaoqing had already untied Luo Xiaoliu's sleeping point and fell asleep.

This time, he slept for the entire morning, but his sleep was not stable. He kept dreaming, and his dreams were filled with the events of his past life, disturbing his mental state.

"Ah …" Zuo Shaoqing sat up on the bed and held his chest to catch his breath, not bothering to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.

"That pattern …" Zuo Shaoqing exclaimed. He lifted the blanket and got off the bed. After spinning two rounds, he jumped back onto the bed and fished out that exquisite bag from under the pillow. Then, he impatiently poured out the wooden plate.

Zuo Shaoqing stared at the eagle-like pattern in a daze. Beneath him was a thick ball of flame that matched the scene in the dream. He mumbled to himself in a daze," Also … That's true … That... Could that person be … "That's impossible, right?

He remembered that that person coming to Zuo Family to propose marriage still had more than ten days remaining, and it just so happened that when he was participating in the hometown examination, he heard of this shocking news when he returned from Changping.

"Could it be that he knew about Zuo Family while he was recuperating from his Youuxi Town in his previous life, which was why he made the decision to marry Zuo Family?" Zuo Shaoqing felt that it must be so. Otherwise, why would a dignified Duke Zhen think that there was actually a Zuo Family living in such a remote place?

What do we do now? He had kicked the man a few times last night, and had even gone along with his purse and burned his note. He had even dug out the arrow for him without much thought.

Furthermore, Zuo Shaoqing knew that there would be others even if he didn't save him, so this so-called favor of saving his life was actually nothing.

Therefore, the purse that was warm in his hands suddenly became scalding hot, wanting to push him back into Lu Zheng's arms now.
