The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Li Muxia had already prepared her explanation and quickly said, "I saw this in an ancient medical book. It records many treatment methods. These two methods are commonly used first aid methods. They are also simple to operate and easy to learn. They can save lives in critical moments and give doctors more time to treat patients."

Upon hearing that there were many other treatment methods, Bai Qingshi asked, "Miss Li, could I borrow that ancient medical book to take a look?"

Seeing Li Muxia's predicament, Bai Qingshi also felt that he had been a bit abrupt, and quickly explained, "If Miss Li is in a difficult situation, I can exchange something with you. As long as I have it, Miss, just ask."

Shangguan Jingye also really wanted to see that ancient medical book, and said eagerly, "Muxia, you can also ask your uncle. I'll give you whatever I have."

Seeing the expectant looks on their faces, Li Muxia pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Senior, Uncle, it's not that Muxia is unwilling, but this ancient medical book was destroyed more than twenty days ago."

Bai Qingshi and Shangguan Jingye said in disbelief, "It's ruined? How could it be ruined?"

Li Muxia continued, "About twenty years ago, Muxia was reading this ancient medical book on the stone table in the courtyard. When she got up, she accidentally dropped it into the lotus pond. When she retrieved it, the book was completely soaked, and the writing on it was all blurred. Muxia was very annoyed by her carelessness and felt sorry for it for a long time."

Upon hearing Li Muxia's explanation, the two exchanged a glance, both seeing deep regret in each other's eyes. However, neither felt comfortable blaming Li Muxia, given their unfamiliarity with her.

Li Muxia, of course, noticed their expressions and immediately said, "I've finished reading that ancient medical book, and I've memorized all its contents. If you and my uncle don't mind, I can write down all the medical techniques mentioned in the book later. However, the book is very thick and contains a lot of information, so I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it in a short time. Also, I've encountered many problems while reading the book recently, but I'm struggling to understand it without anyone to teach me. If possible, I'd like to ask my uncle to be my teacher and answer my questions. Is that alright?" She then looked at Shangguan Jingye with expectant eyes.

Bai Qingshi and Shangguan Jingye's eyes lit up after hearing Li Muxia's words. Before Shangguan Jingye could agree, Bai Qingshi looked at Li Muxia excitedly and said, "The Sage of Medicine is right in front of you, yet you want to become my disciple. Little girl, what are you thinking?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jingye realized that his master was trying to steal his disciple, so he immediately said, "Master, Mu Xia is my niece. If she becomes your disciple, wouldn't the generational order be messed up?"

Bai Qingshi retorted, "People of the martial world don't have so many rules. Little girl, I'm willing to take you as my last disciple. Think about it."

Upon hearing that the fish he had caught was quite large, far exceeding his expectations, Li Muxia immediately knelt down without saying a word, imitating the way ancient people pay respects to their masters: "Li Muxia greets Master." He then kowtowed three times with a loud thud.

Shangguan Jingye shook his head with a smile, and said in an embarrassed tone, "The little apprentice I just got has become a junior sister."

Bai Qingshi smiled happily at this moment: "Good, good, good." Then he quickly helped Li Muxia up.

Shangguan Jingye smiled as he looked at Li Muxia, who would be his junior sister from now on. Her eyebrows were curved and her features were quite delicate, but her figure was a bit hard to describe.

Bai Qingshi looked at Li Muxia and said in a serious tone, "Muxia, although I have now accepted you as my disciple, the apprenticeship is a big deal. You still need to go back and discuss it with the old general. Once the old general agrees, we can set a good day to hold the apprenticeship ceremony."

Li Muxia understood that becoming an apprentice was a major event in ancient times, since a teacher for a day is a father for life, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Master, I will discuss this matter with Grandpa after he finishes court."

Bai Qingshi nodded at Li Muxia, then held up the medical prescription written by Li Muxia and asked, "Now let's examine these life-saving methods you gave us. Have you tried them all? If they can really solve these symptoms, it will be a major event in the medical field and can save many more people."

Li Muxia honestly replied, "Master, I have tested all of these. They can indeed save lives in emergency situations and buy doctors more time for treatment."

After saying that, he pointed to the words "Heimlich Maneuver" on the screen and said, "I used this method to treat that little boy who was choking on a peanut yesterday, and it worked very well."

Bai Qingshi immediately had Li Muxia demonstrate all the first aid methods written in the medical prescription. Everyone present watched very attentively, and Cui'er cooperated by acting as a prop. However, when they were performing artificial respiration, everyone's expressions were somewhat unnatural.

Bai Qingshi: This... This... This...

Shangguan Jingye: Uh... This junior sister is really bold...

Li Anran: Sister Xia is being indecent again.

Chunxing: From now on, I must keep a close eye on Miss and never let her use this method to save people.

Cui'er: Ah, Miss kissed me...

Although everyone felt that Li Muxia's actions were a bit bold, they all understood that she was saving lives, so they silently accepted it. The two doctors present were especially quick to accept this, since doctors don't see men and women, only patients. As long as the disease can be cured, any method should be tried.

Of course, that's what they think, but when it comes to actually doing it, they still need to mentally prepare themselves. That's why Li Muxia wanted the Medical Saint and Shangguan Jingye to try it out, but they both shook their heads.

Bai Qingshi said, "Mu Xia's demonstration was very clear, and the method was very simple; you can learn it at a glance."

Shangguan Jingye quickly chimed in, "Yes, this is even simpler than the Heimlich maneuver. We can do it without even trying."

Seeing the resistance in their eyes, Li Muxia didn't force them. Of course, she understood why. She silently sighed in her heart, "Sigh, the ancients!" This was just artificial respiration, and they were already so resistant. She couldn't even imagine what her master and senior brother's expressions would be if they saw open surgery. However, she couldn't demonstrate the surgery now, given the limited resources. She would educate them about surgery later if the opportunity arose. For now, she needed to proceed gradually; she couldn't let them accept modern medicine all at once, otherwise, it wouldn't be good if her hard-won master and senior brother were scared away.

The medical demonstration was over, and Li Muxia was eager to start learning medicine from her master. She knew that Shangguan Jingye had been learning from Bai Qingshi since childhood, so could she also travel and learn with her master? She was really looking forward to it. It would be best if she could travel and learn with her master like her senior brother; not only could she learn medicine, but she could also travel and see the world—it would make her time-traveling experience worthwhile.
