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

Chapter 85 Hunting Wild Rabbits, and Saving Someone Along the Way

They had been traveling for fifteen days and still hadn't encountered Bai Qingshi and Shangguan Jingye. It was still deep winter, and the Lunar New Year was just over half a month away. Li Muxia and Xiaoyaozi wanted to reunite with Bai Qingshi and the others as soon as possible, so they could at least spend the New Year together in this foreign land.

The sky was overcast, and it looked like it was about to snow. Li Muxia and Xiaoyaozi galloped away on horseback. Suddenly, Xiaoyaozi reined in his horse, and Li Muxia followed suit. He turned around and asked in confusion, "Master, why are we stopping?"

Xiaoyaozi looked at Li Muxia with a wronged expression and said, "I'm not going anymore, I'm not going anymore. I've been walking all morning and haven't seen a single post station. I'm starving. I don't care, I want to eat something."

After saying that, he ignored Li Muxia, dismounted, led the horse to the woods by the roadside, tied the horse to a tree, and sat down under the tree, looking at Li Muxia with a resentful expression, as if he wouldn't leave until he got his meal today.

Li Muxia shook her head helplessly and could only follow him to tie the horse to the tree.

Sometimes it's really hard to tell who's the junior and who's the senior. Even though her second master is quite old, when she throws a childish tantrum, it's really impossible to handle.

Li Muxia comforted her, saying, "Alright, don't be angry. I'll go catch you two wild rabbits right now."

Xiaoyaozi's expression softened, and he said, "You said it yourself, two, one braised and one roasted."

Li Muxia rolled her eyes helplessly: "They have so many requirements. I should have known better than to bring those pots and pans."

Despite her thoughts, Li Muxia still granted the adorable old man's request. She went up the mountain to hunt wild rabbits, and before leaving, she reminded Xiaoyaozi to start a fire. Everything that needed to be prepared was ready, so she could start cooking as soon as she returned.

Despite being a modern person, Li Muxia possesses exceptional wilderness survival skills. In the modern world, she participated in numerous rescue operations with her mentor, venturing into both battlefields and jungles.

Once in the woods, Li Muxia took out her homemade small bow and arrows. She had been practicing archery a lot these days, and although she wasn't 100% accurate, she could hit the target at least seven or eight times out of ten.

Seeing the white rabbit hiding in the snow, Li Muxia shot it without hesitation, hitting it on the first try. Li Muxia excitedly went forward, picked up the rabbit, and examined it carefully: it was a plump white rabbit.

I've only caught one so far. I promised my second master I'd catch two, so I need to hurry and find the other one.

You have to admit, the environment in ancient times was really good. I saw one after only a few steps. Hehe, I'm lucky.

Li Muxia slowly stepped forward, carefully avoiding making a sound. Her attention was entirely focused on the wild rabbit, and she was completely unaware of what was covered in snow beneath her feet.

Just as Li Muxia was about to confirm that she was about to reach her target range, she felt as if she had stepped on a cylindrical object. Losing her balance, she fell to one side, and the arrow flew from her hand, landing next to the hare. The startled hare ran away.

Li Muxia watched the wild rabbit disappear into the distance, feeling annoyed. She got up to see what had tripped her.

Li Muxia was terrified to see that what she had stepped on was actually a pair of legs. How could there be someone lying here? They looked like they'd been lying there for a long time, completely covered in snow. They must have been lying here last night, since it had only snowed that night. After all this time, was this person still alive?

Out of a doctor's instinct, Li Muxia stepped forward and parted the bushes, seeing a richly dressed man leaning against a large tree. The man was very handsome, and although he was covered in wounds and his face was stained with blood, it did not diminish his good looks at all. He looked to be around twenty years old.

Li Muxia didn't pay much attention to the man's appearance; she simply checked his breath with her hand.

Although the pain was faint, Li Muxia still breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he was still alive.

"Meeting me means your life wasn't meant to end."

After saying that, she helped the man up, letting his weight fall entirely on her, and carried him back the way they came.

"What did you eat to grow up like this? You look so thin, how come you're so heavy?"

Fortunately, she hadn't gone far and soon saw Xiaoyaozi sitting by the fire. She shouted, "Master, come quickly, save people!"

Upon hearing Li Muxia's words, Xiaoyaozi looked up and saw Li Muxia struggling to wave to him while supporting a man. He quickly got up to help Li Muxia.

The two of them worked together to place the man next to the fire. Xiaoyaozi had already cleaned the area; there was a pile of dry grass underneath.

Li Muxia took a cloak out of her luggage and covered the man with it.

The master and apprentice began to treat the man. Xiaoyaozi was responsible for examining the man's wounds, large and small, while Li Muxia was responsible for taking his pulse.

After a thorough examination, it was found that the man did not have any fatal wounds, but the arrow in his leg was poisoned. The poison was very potent; although it was not a poison that would kill him immediately, he would definitely bleed from all seven orifices and die if he did not receive the antidote within twelve hours.

Li Muxia dared not delay. Checking the pulse, she saw that the poison had already spread to the vicinity of the heart. The man must have used internal energy after being shot, otherwise the poison would not have spread so quickly.

Li Muxia took out an antidote pill, which she had refined in the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain. It could cure all kinds of poisons, though not all of them. However, it was more than enough to cure poisons in men.

Considering the man was currently unconscious and the pills would be difficult to swallow, Li Muxia dissolved the pills in water, helped the man up, and prepared to feed them to him. At first, she was worried that feeding him the medicine might not be so easy, but to her surprise, he still had the consciousness to swallow, and the medicine was fed to him smoothly.

After the man took the medicine, Li Muxia bandaged his wounds. At this time, Xiaoyaozi had also finished processing the wild rabbit.

There's only one wild rabbit left, and they can't even have braised one. Luckily, this rabbit is big enough for the two of them, and the inn should be not far from here.

After Li Muxia finished roasting the rabbit, the man frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes: "I'm not dead, hiss~"

Hearing the voice behind her, Li Muxia quickly turned around and said happily, "You're awake."

Seeing that the man had woken up, Xiaoyaozi said with some displeasure, "You certainly know how to pick your time. Did you wake up because of the fragrance?"

The man struggled to get up, and Li Muxia quickly helped him up, letting him sit against a large tree nearby. She said, "You can't move around too much yet. Your master and I have already bandaged your wounds, and the poison is almost gone. But it's not suitable for you to move around right now. Sit down and rest for a bit."

Li Muxia's doctor blood from her previous life has awakened again. Before she could even figure out whether the people she saved were good or bad, she started using the same methods doctors use to treat patients now.
