The doctor treating Xie Shuheng was the same one who had treated them last time.

They wouldn't normally help in the middle of the night, but seeing that Jiang Zhiyun was an acquaintance, they knew this family was in dire straits.

He simply got up and began to help treat the injuries. The doctor frowned and said, "Your young master is seriously injured. He has not only external wounds but also internal injuries. Many of his meridians are severed."

The doctor felt sorry for you: "It's already incredibly difficult that you've managed to stay alive until now."

"You've only been gone a few days, and you've already gotten yourself into this state. Young people should take better care of their health!"

The doctor was talkative, but upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiyun immediately asked, "Is there no danger to his life?"

"Yes and no." He looked at Xie Shuheng. "Fortunately, you didn't lose too much blood. If you had lost any more blood, no one could have made up for it. This lady's herbal medicine was indeed very timely. Also, if you had only had your external wounds stitched up, you wouldn't have been in any danger and would have recovered quickly."

"But if you still intend to use force, you'll have to sew up the internal meridians. I don't have anesthesia here. I've seen this kind of procedure before in medicine, but it's my first time doing it. So, life or death is uncertain. It's up to you to choose."

Jiang Zhiyun looked at Xie Shuheng and already knew what he would choose.

He sighed and said, "I'll do whatever you say. I have no objections."

Xie Shuheng said, "I choose the second option; life and death are predestined. I would be grateful if the doctor could help me try it out."

The patient has agreed; as a doctor, how can he possibly refuse?

He looked at Jiang Zhiyun and said, "Jiang Niangzi, you stay here and wait, and bring me things from time to time. It will probably take more than three hours to sew this."

“I can,” Jiang Zhiyun nodded.

Knowing they were husband and wife, they didn't draw the curtains. They just let Jiang Zhiyun watch them blankly.

It was better not to make eye contact with Xie Shuheng, because both of them felt awkward when they did, and then they tacitly avoided each other.

The doctor was also a little curious: "Aren't they husband and wife? Why are they still so shy?"

Jiang Zhiyun casually replied, "Newlywed."

The doctor nodded: "Since there's no anesthesia, if your husband can't hold on any longer, young lady, remember to go and hold his hand. Don't let him move around."

"it is good."

Jiang Zhiyun watched as he picked out the veins and began to sew them back together. The sight was horrifying.

Xie Shuheng's forehead was covered in sweat, and he was keeping his head down, trying to hold back his emotions. Jiang Zhiyun reached out and pulled him, nodding slightly at him.

Then Xie Shuheng, as if he completely trusted her, took her hand. Sure enough, it felt better that way.

However, Jiang Zhiyun was not in good shape; Xie Shuheng had pinched her hand until it bled.

……

In the blink of an eye, night turned into day. Jiang Zhiyun couldn't remember how many basins of bloody water she had changed. Finally!

Xie Shuheng finished stitching up his wounds and applied medicine to all of them.

The doctor was also exhausted.

Jiang Zhiyun used the clinic's kitchen to prepare a few light dishes. She simply shaped tofu and minced meat into small balls, then added pickled cabbage to make sour soup dumplings.

After that, she simply boiled cabbage in water to make a soup. Perhaps feeling that it wasn't appetizing, Yunniang also made a bowl of shredded potatoes. She also went to the market to buy some pickled chili peppers that the local villagers liked, and stir-fried them with the shredded potatoes to make them more appetizing.

As for Xie Shuheng, Jiang Zhiyun cooked him some white porridge.

After the doctor finished the surgery, Jiang Zhiyun placed a few dishes on the small table and said, "Thank you, doctor! Please eat quickly. I used your kitchen to make these."

"Thank you so much this time."

"It's alright, this is my first time trying it too. We medical students like to take on challenges, and I never expected to succeed this time. I can only say that your husband is lucky to have married you."

After saying this, he sat down to eat and realized that these seemingly ordinary dishes actually tasted so good.

Those sour soup dumplings are perfect for soaking rice; I feel like I could eat two more bowls. If that's not enough, adding some shredded potatoes and mixing it in makes it even more delicious.

Xie Shuheng fainted and did not wake up. After Jiang Zhiyun and the doctor finished eating, they brought some cooked white porridge to his bedside, so he could eat some when he woke up.

The doctor introduced himself: "Young lady, my surname is Su, and my name is Su Shaoye."

"Now I'm just curious, do you know anything about this herb?"

"The herbs I saw today, as well as the ones you gave to your husband before, are all appropriate remedies."

Jiang Zhiyun nodded: "I do know a little; I've read books about these herbs."

"Wait... your name is Su Shaoye?"

The doctor Su Shaoye later entered the Imperial Medical Academy and was considered a very talented person. In his previous life, he and Xie Shuheng had a very good relationship.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhiyun herself has gotten involved. Fortunately, knowing Su Shaoye isn't a bad thing; it even provides some protection in case of illness. Building a good relationship with him is of paramount importance.

He would become friends with Xie Shuheng, and it seemed he had even helped Xie Shuheng poison someone in his past life. Yunniang thought that after getting to know him, at least she wouldn't be poisoned to death. Although worrying unnecessarily was not advisable, Jiang Zhiyun told herself deeply that this was for the sake of the future.

Speaking of herbs...

In her past life, she mostly relied on herself, using various herbs to stop her bleeding; otherwise, she would have died long ago.

“I have a business opportunity now, would you like to cooperate with me, Madam Jiang?” Su Shaoye looked at Jiang Zhiyun with anticipation on his face.

Jiang Zhiyun nodded: "You want me to go into the mountains to find herbs for you and then sell them to you, right?"

"Yes." Su Shaoye nodded. "I have to take care of the pharmacy and continue to study medicine. My acupuncture skills are not very good, and I waste time every day collecting herbs. It's such a waste of time."

"If that's the case, now that I see how capable Madam Jiang is, I'd like to discuss this matter with you. I'll settle the money with Madam Jiang then. Don't worry about that, I won't shortchange you on what you're owed."

After saying this, Jiang Zhiyun nodded: "That would be good."

She had originally planned to look for mushrooms every day and perhaps find other things to sell. She had asked several pharmacies, but most were unwilling to serve her.

Now that Su Shaoye is here, Jiang Zhiyun is naturally content.

"Then I'll bring you the herbs once I find them. As for the herbs you want me to find urgently, I'll need to add twenty coins to the original price. What do you think?"

Jiang Zhiyun knew that her request was not excessive. If the clinic needed more urgent medicine, she would be willing to pay one hundred coins.

All she wanted was her hard-earned money.

“Okay.” After saying that, Su Shaoye handed Jiang Zhiyun several medical books on herbs, as well as some circled herbs.
