Moonlit Calamity: The Dragon Girl's Life of Idleness is Broken
Chapter 48 Post-Battle Healing
After saying that, Long Chuqing walked towards Qiushui Pavilion. "It's so cold," she said, hugging her hands together, which were icy cold.
Xiao Han watched her disappear into the rainy night before turning and leaving.
The uninjured guards were divided into two groups: one to take the injured back to Wenxinyuan, and the other to deal with the scene.
The heavy rain continued to fall, washing away the bloodstains on the ground, leaving a crimson stain. Guards took brooms and used the rainwater to wash the ground. The stench of blood filled the entire courtyard, an atmosphere that instilled cruelty and fear.
The fighting was loud and large-scale tonight. Although the rain masked some of the noise, those who lived nearby heard it and hid in their rooms, trembling with fear, too afraid to make a sound or come out.
When Long Chuqing returned to Qiushui Pavilion, there was only one lantern hanging in the courtyard, and all the lights in the rooms were off. Usually, one or two lights would be left on, but perhaps Lin Mama and the others had turned them off after hearing the noise.
She returned to the living room, found a tinderbox, and lit a lamp. Lin Mama, familiar with Long Chuqing's footsteps, lit a lamp and came out when she heard the noise. A purple light also appeared, and the two of them stayed together.
When they saw Long Chuqing return, the tense expressions on their faces relaxed slightly, and Ziguang said, "Miss, you're back."
But then they saw that Long Chuqing was soaking wet, with blood on his clothes and face, and they were all shocked.
Granny Lin quickened her pace and came in, asking with concern, "What happened? Are you injured?"
Long Chuqing quickly explained, "I'm fine. It's the assassin's blood. You heard the noise, didn't you?"
Lin Mama's heart was still pounding: "I heard it, and it was quite loud. It scared me to death. Ziguang heard the noise and hid in my room."
Both of them turned pale with fright.
"Don't worry, it's all over. The assassins have all run away."
Seeing that she was soaking wet and the weather was cold, Lin Mama said, "I'll go and boil some hot water for you. Change out of your wet clothes first."
Long Chuqing glanced at herself; she was covered in blood and sticky, and she had to wash herself. "Then I'll trouble you, Granny."
Ziguang was terrified when she saw so much blood on her body. She only came to her senses when she heard Lin Mama say that she was going to boil water: "This servant will go and boil some hot tea."
Long Chuqing quickly rinsed off, changed her clothes, and left Qiushui Pavilion with an umbrella.
The rain was still drizzling, and the surroundings had become quiet, with only the sound of raindrops hitting the eaves and stone slabs remaining.
She carried a dim lantern and walked along the deserted corridor. A gust of wind blew, making her clothes and wet hair rustle. The lantern swayed, and the lingering smell of blood could be smelled in the air.
As she approached Wenxin Courtyard, she heard sounds coming from inside. When she arrived at the entrance, she found a guard there. The guard was also injured, with his arm bandaged.
Upon seeing that the person who had come was Long Chuqing, he stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Miss Long."
"How is it inside?"
The guard replied humbly, "Doctor Yuan is inside, and he's a bit too busy to handle everything by himself. His Highness is also inside."
"I'll go in and take a look," she said. As she entered the courtyard, she could smell the strong stench of blood.
Those with minor injuries were gathered in the living room for bandaging, while those with serious injuries were gathered in a larger room next door for easier treatment.
While Uncle Zhong was helping in the living room, she went to the next room. Xiao Han had already changed his clothes and was standing on the porch by the door, while Doctor Yuan was inside.
He saw Long Chuqing approaching and went forward to take the lantern from her hand.
Long Chuqing closed his umbrella and patted the raindrops that had fallen on him: "Let's go in and take a look."
Xiao Han nodded and followed her inside. Doctor Yuan was bandaging the abdomen of a seriously injured guard. When he saw Long Chuqing arrive, he said excitedly, "You've finally come! I'm so busy that I wish I had three heads and six arms."
The injured people were given hemostatic pills and powders, which controlled the bleeding, but many people still hadn't been bandaged. Long Chuqing took the gauze and medicine prepared nearby and went to help them bandage.
Some wounds were large and serious and could not be bandaged like this, as they would not heal easily and would be prone to infection. He asked Xiao Han to prepare clean sewing needles and silk thread, since there was no protein thread available, so silk thread had to be used instead.
Xiao Han didn't ask why and just ordered people to go look for it.
Needles and thread were available, and there were also embroiderers in the mansion who could sew and mend.
Long Chuqing threaded the needle and thread and sterilized them in strong liquor.
After treating the wound, she began stitching it up. Xiao Han stood beside her watching. The silk thread was white and fine, and Long Chuqing's stitching skills were excellent. She used her own researched hidden needle technique, so the stitched wound didn't look horrifying or ugly. She then bandaged it with medicated gauze.
After dealing with one patient, he moved on to the next. Xiao Han stood beside her, handing her gauze and medicine. The injured guard was extremely nervous; he felt less pain from his own injury and more tension.
One of the guards had tense muscles. Long Chuqing told him to relax, but he was still nervous. She glanced at Xiao Han next to her and said, "Go sit outside. You're disturbing the patient here."
Xiao Han didn't want to go out, so he said to the guard, "You don't need to be nervous. Just pretend I don't exist, or treat me like an ordinary guard."
Long Chuqing was also helpless.
When Doctor Yuan learned that Long Chuqing was using needle and thread to treat the guard's wound, he put down his work and ran over to watch.
She looked up at Doctor Yuan and saw his eager expression, so she didn't say anything. Instead, she carefully explained things to him, and in the end, it was Doctor Yuan who handed her the gauze and medicine.
After seeing that she had treated the wounds of three people, Dr. Yuan was eager to try. He began to treat them according to Long Chuqing's method.
A moment later, he finished mending a guard's wound, but the wound he mended was crooked and not very aesthetically pleasing.
The guard heard that everyone else's wounds were stitched up very well. Looking at his own jagged scars, he was filled with sorrow. He thought to himself, "Although I'm a man and don't care about scars, I haven't gotten married yet! I still want Miss Dragon to stitch them up."
Seeing the guard's constipated and troubled expression, Long Chuqing said to Doctor Yuan, "How about... I do it? You go back and practice with pork a lot, and you'll definitely be able to do it very well in the future."
Even Dr. Yuan, who had never held a needle and thread before, shook his head when he saw his masterpiece.
Long Chuqing looked at the guard and asked, "Do you want me to treat you again? It will hurt a little."
The guard thought for a moment, deciding that he would bear the pain so as not to frighten his wife later. He nodded and said, "Yes."
After a long time, most of the serious cases were treated, and some cases that did not require stitches were left for Dr. Yuan to handle.
Long Chuqing went to see Qing Tong again. He was seriously injured and had lost a lot of blood. She treated his wounds again.
When she came out, she saw Xiao Han standing under the corridor. Something seemed wrong; the medicine was probably wearing off. She went up to him and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Let's go back first!"
Xiao Han glanced inside and asked, "Is everything here finished?"
"They've all been bandaged up."
Long Chuqing went inside and told Doctor Yuan, then returned to Qinli Courtyard with Xiao Han, while Qingying and Qingzhou, who had sustained minor injuries, followed along.
