Yin Zijing's sharp eyes flashed, and she said sternly, "Kneel down, take off your shirt, and treat your wounds. You've lost so much blood, and you still dare to say you're fine. There are only the two of us here, what are you afraid of? Behave yourself. In front of a doctor, there are only patients, not men and women." Besides, I am also a man, but Yin Zijing didn't say the last sentence out loud.

Shen Lu looked up abruptly, quite surprised, at the sharp and assertive woman before him. In Shen Lu's eyes, Yin Zijing was a gentle and tender woman. He had never seen Yin Zijing like this before.

Shen Lu was taken aback. Faced with his master's orders, Shen Lu had no choice but to obey unconditionally. He lowered his sharp eyes and head, and took off the bundle tightly bound to his waist and back. Opening the bundle, he found various kinds of medicine for injuries, some dry food, and some loose silver.

Then, Shen Lu blushed and awkwardly took off his shirt. His tanned, well-muscled physique was instantly revealed, making him appear incredibly muscular. Not a single patch of skin on his upper body was unscathed; there were countless new and old wounds, including knife wounds, sword wounds, and axe cuts.

The wound from yesterday was even deeper, exposing bone, and was now dripping blood. Yin Zijing endured the excruciating pain in her legs and walked towards Shen Lu. Seeing that Yin Zijing was unsteady on her feet, Shen Lu crawled to her side.

Yin Zijing took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, soaked it in water from her water bag, and cleaned the area around Shen Lu's wound. She then picked up some hemostatic medicine from the side and poured it onto Shen Lu's wound. After that, she added a layer of medicine to help the wound heal. Then she picked up the white gauze from her bundle and wrapped it around the wound layer by layer.

The firelight illuminated Yin Zijing's profile, making her appear especially focused, as if the very serious Yin Fengyu from the modern operating table had returned...

Shen Lu remained silent, gritting his teeth. Only the cold sweat on his forehead proved how uncomfortable he was. Yin Zijing's soft, boneless hands stroked him gently, making Shen Lu tense up all over.

Only Yin Zijing said softly, "Alright, put your clothes on!" In modern times, Yin Zijing worked as a surgeon, wielding a scalpel, and was therefore very skilled at treating knife and sword wounds. However, she knew nothing about traditional Chinese medicine.

Upon hearing Yin Zijing's voice, Shen Lu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put on his shirt. Yin Zijing stuffed the bloodstained handkerchief into Shen Lu's hand and said, "There is a stream outside the cave. Wash the handkerchief clean."

Shen Lu took the handkerchief, not daring to look at Yin Zijing, and hurriedly walked out, saying, "There's water in the water pouch and dry rations in the bundle. Please have some, Miss."

Watching Shen Lu hurriedly run out, his flustered appearance made Yin Zijing chuckle softly. Yin Zijing drank water from her water pouch and ate the hard dry rations from her pack. After taking a bite, she muttered, "So hard, my teeth are going to fall out."

Not long after, Shen Lu came in with Yin Zijin's handkerchief. Seeing that Yin Zijin was having trouble eating the pancake, Shen Lu took out an iron bowl from his bundle, broke the pancake into small pieces and put them in the bowl, poured out the water from his water bag, added a few pieces of dried meat, set up a rack over the fire, and hung the iron bowl up.

Shen Lu said in a low voice, "Seeing how hard you're trying to eat the flatbread, please wait a little longer. Once it starts bubbling, you can eat it. Back when my family was poor, we couldn't afford these things. I can't even remember what my parents look like anymore, but I still remember the flatbread my mother used to make for us. With some dried meat, it was so fragrant..."

Yin Zijing blinked and looked at Shen Lu's actions, saying, "Shen Lu, you're a treasure trove; you have everything."

While eating a dry biscuit, Shen Lu said with a bitter smile, "Miss, I lost both my parents at a young age and wandered around for a long time. I only settled down after entering the Yin family. But every day I live a life of danger. Every time I go out, I don't know if I will come back alive."
