The whole family traveled through the hidden mountains, and the general always came to get the wool

Ever since Su Ma and Su Weixi heard the sound of explosives detonating on New Year's Eve, they both had a guess in their minds, that is, the recipe for the explosives was told by Su Dad.

Soon their guess was verified. On the morning of New Year's Day, Su's father had not returned yet, but Awen had gone home.

"Awen, why did you come back alone? Where is the master?" Su Ma asked anxiously when she saw Awen being brought in by the housekeeper.

"Madam, the master has important matters to attend to in the military camp. He was afraid that his family would worry, so he asked me to come back and report the news." Awen said after saluting respectfully.

"There was such a big commotion last night, are you and the master not injured?"

"No, we are all fine. The master asked me to bring you a message."

"What?" Su's mother thought that Su's father needed some help.

"The master said that he would go home after the northern barbarians retreated, and then he would give Miss and Master the New Year's money. He also said that the things he brought from his hometown are very useful, so you don't have to worry."

After Awen finished what Su's father had said, Su's mother and Su Weixi understood that the explosives were indeed handed over to the Duke of Zhenguo by Su's father.

Awen came and went in a hurry. After Su Ma asked a few more questions of concern, Awen said that he was going back to the military camp. The reason he could come back today to report his safety was that Su Ba had specially asked the Duke of Zhenguo for it.

Before leaving, Su Ma asked the housekeeper to bring two large bags, which contained some food that Su Ma had asked the kitchen to prepare early in the morning, which were relatively durable.

The two bags were bulging, not only for Su's father, but Awen knew that he also had a share. After thanking Su's mother, he rode his horse back to the military camp.

Now that it is confirmed that the explosives were given to the Duke by Su's father, Su's mother is not so worried about Su's father anymore.

After all, this is the era of cold weapons. With explosives, it will not be so difficult for Xiao's army to repel the Northern Di people.

Before the Lantern Festival, Beidi was finally repelled by the troops led by the Duke of Zhenguo. Half of Beidi's 100,000 troops were lost, and the eldest prince of Beidi returned to the grassland with his remaining 50,000 troops.

Everyone in the border town was very happy and was excitedly preparing for the upcoming Lantern Festival.

The Su Mansion was also very lively.

However, Su's mother never expected that instead of waiting for Su's father to come back, Xiao Yi brought a team of personal guards and rushed to the Su Mansion, stuffed her and Su Weixi into a carriage and took them to the military camp.

Moreover, Xiao Yi also asked Su Ma to bring the Su family's medicine box.

Su's mother was very worried, thinking that something had happened to Su's father.

Still trying to endure the motion sickness and the bumpy feeling of the high-speed carriage, he asked Xiao Yi what had happened.

It was not until they were in the carriage on the way to the military camp that they learned that Xiao Yi's father, the Duke of Zhenguo, had been ambushed and shot in the chest with an arrow.

At this moment, the military doctors did not dare to pull out the arrow, for fear of causing heavy bleeding or damaging the heart.

It was Su's father who suggested bringing Su's mother to the military camp, perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.

The carriage finally arrived at the military camp after an hour. Probably as instructed beforehand, the gate of the military camp was opened, and the carriage drove smoothly all the way to the largest main tent in the military camp.

When Su's father heard the noise, he had already been waiting outside the tent and helped Su's mother off the carriage.

Mother Su had not yet recovered from the bumpy ride of the carriage. Her legs went weak as she stepped off the vehicle. If Father Su hadn't supported her, she would have probably fallen to the ground.

Su's father brought Su's mother into the tent to diagnose the injuries of the Duke of Zhenguo, completely forgetting that his eldest daughter was in the carriage. Su Weixi lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw the backs of the two people entering the tent.

"Miss Su, let me help you." A familiar voice sounded in my ears.

Su Weixi turned around and saw that it was Xiao Yi. He was holding out his hand, waiting to help Su Weixi get out of the car.

The military camp was full of warriors, and there were no horse stools for women to get on and off the carriages.

Su Weixi was not a pretentious person. She took the hand that Xiao Yi extended to her and jumped out of the car.

Xiao Yi was obviously very worried about his father's injury. He said no more and took Su Weixi into the main tent.

The two entered the tent, where many people were standing. All of them cast their eyes on Su's mother, who was examining the injuries of the Duke of Zhenguo. The military doctor waiting on the side was frowning and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

When Xiao Yi came in, he seemed to have seen a savior and immediately started to complain.

"Young general, you are finally here. Look, Captain Su actually called his wife to help treat the Duke. This is causing trouble. The Duke's injury cannot wait." One of the military doctors said indignantly.

"Yes, it is really immoral for a healthy woman to not stay at home to take care of her children." Another military doctor agreed.

As Xiao Yi listened to what the two said, his face became increasingly darker.

The military doctors had been guarding the Duke of Zhenguo in the main tent before, and they didn't know that Su Ma was invited by Xiao Yi himself. When they saw Su Dad bringing Su Ma in, they naturally thought that it was arranged by Su Dad.

The deputy generals on the side also looked unhappy, but because they knew that Su Ma was invited by Xiao Yi, and they also knew that it was Su Ma who cured Xiao Yi of the poison before, they didn't say much.

"Shut up! Do you have any good ideas?" Xiao Yi's words made the faces of several military doctors suddenly turn extremely ugly.

"Is it possible that this woman has a good solution?" a military doctor muttered in dissatisfaction.

"It is this lady you are talking about who made the alcohol that you use every day." Xiao Yi's words immediately left the military doctors dumbfounded.

When Su's father gave Xiao Yi the method of making alcohol, he said that it was because Su's mother was interested in medicine and he often went up the mountain to hunt and got injured, so Su's mother made alcohol.

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the military doctors, whose faces were uglier than each other.

"Aunt, how is my father? Do you have any solution?" Xiao Yi asked immediately after seeing that Su Ma had finished the examination.

"I'm 60% sure, but the Duke may have to suffer a little." Su Ma said calmly.

"Really? Are you sure, Auntie?" Xiao Yi looked excited when he heard Su Ma say there was 60%.

You know, what the military doctors just said was that there was only a 20% chance of pulling out the arrow.

"Impossible. If the arrow is pulled out, the Duke will bleed profusely immediately. Furthermore, the arrow has a barb. If we are not careful, it may cause other problems." A military doctor immediately retorted in disbelief.

"Did I say to pull the arrow out directly?" Su Ma looked calmly at the military doctor who spoke.

At this time, another military doctor who had never spoken a word came forward and asked, "What measures will Madam Su take?"

"Perform surgery. Use a knife to cut the flesh around the arrow, and then take the arrow out." Su Ma explained her method.

"No, the wound is too close to the heart. Cutting it open rashly may cause heavy bleeding more easily than pulling it out directly. And the wound must be very deep, difficult to heal, and will continue to cause bleeding afterwards."

"But if you pull it out directly without cutting it open, it will leave residue and cause infection later. Also, the incision can be sutured to avoid the possibility of heavy bleeding later."

Afterwards, Su Ma told Xiao Yi her specific plan. The deputy general and military doctors were also listening on the side, and the final decision was left to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi quickly gave his answer.

"Aunt, my father's life depends on you. Tell me what you need and I'll have someone prepare it."

"No, I have them all in my medicine box."

Just now in the carriage, after learning part of the situation, Su Ma asked Su Weixi to add everything she needed into the medicine box.

After the surgical plan was determined, Su Ma prepared everything and started working.

The deputy generals who were in the tent before were driven out, leaving only the three members of the Su family, Xiao Yi, two strong deputy generals, and a few others who stayed in the tent in the name of helping out and studying.

Without anesthetic, Su Ma asked two deputy generals to hold the Duke of Zhenguo down, and also reminded them that no matter what happened, they must hold the Duke of Zhenguo down.

Su Weixi helped Su Ma and was responsible for passing things and wiping sweat.

The military doctor originally wanted to take over the job, but Su Ma refused because they were not familiar with the tools.

Su Ma moved quickly. After disinfecting the wound, she started to operate the knife.

After cutting the flesh around the arrow, he looked at Su's father standing beside him. Su's father understood and stepped forward, quickly pulling out the arrow.

Blood splattered all over the place instantly, and the Duke of Zhenguo almost jumped up in pain, but was held down by two deputy generals.

Su Ma's expression remained unchanged. She cleaned up the debris, stopped the bleeding, and quickly sutured the wound.

An hour later, the operation was over. Even though Su Weixi kept wiping the sweat off Su Ma's forehead, Su Ma was still sweating profusely.

"Okay, give this medicine to the Duke, three times a day, two tablets each time. Pay attention to see if he has a fever tonight." Su Ma handed the porcelain bottle in her hand to Xiao Yi.

Su Weixi then poured a glass of water, quietly replaced it with the spiritual spring water in the space, and asked Xiao Yi to help the Duke of Zhenguo take the medicine.

Su Ma and Su Weixi were eager to breathe fresh air at this moment. Su Ba helped Su Ma out of the tent, and Su Weixi followed behind.

After a while, Wu Wei came over and told Xiao Yi that he had ordered someone to clear a tent next to the main tent for Su Ma and Su Weixi to rest.

"The general asked you and Miss Su to stay in the barracks for one night."

Su Ma nodded and didn't say much, and asked Wu Wei to take her and Su Weixi there.

We must stay overnight tonight to prevent any accidents.
