231 Duty

At this moment, Lin Suisui didn’t know that Yuan Niang was using herself as an example to defend her. She was suturing the general’s wound attentively.

Doctor Luo’s eyes were shining, but he didn’t dare to disturb her.

It wasn’t until Lin Suisui completed the last step and cut the mulberry thread used to suture the wound that he heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Lin Suisui in admiration as he praised, “Your medical skills really amaze me!

If there were a few more military doctors who were good at suturing like you, many soldiers wouldn’t have lost their lives at such a young age!”

“Simple debridement and suturing isn’t difficult. Actually, I’ve thought about it. When our medical center opens, we can also recruit some apprentices.”

Lin Suisui could naturally think of what Dr. Luo could think of.

However, this kind of thing couldn’t be rushed. She could only take things one step at a time!

“This general’s wound has already been treated, but you also know that this is only the first step to his recovery. He might have a high fever tonight. I believe you know how to treat it, Doctor Luo.”

I’ll leave him to you for the time being!”

Lin Suisui washed her hands before turning to instruct Doctor Luo in a low voice.

Doctor Luo nodded repeatedly. “Alright, don’t worry, Madam. We’re all here. We’ll definitely take good care of this general.”

“I’ll come again tomorrow to take a look at his wound. Don’t light the fire in this room for the next two days. It’s best if we remove the heater! He just came back from the snow and ice. If we suddenly change the environment, it’s not beneficial to his recovery.”

After Lin Suisui looked at the decorations in the room, she said to Doctor Luo, “We’ll talk about it in a few days when his injuries recover!”

Doctor Luo nodded repeatedly as he sent Lin Suisui out of the room.

When the soldiers standing under the corridor saw this, a group of people quickly rushed over and looked at Lin Suisui with anticipation, but no one dared to ask the question that was on everyone’s mind.

“I’ve already treated your general’s injuries! Next, listen to Doctor Luo’s arrangements. If your general can survive the next two days, he’ll be fine!”

Lin Suisui didn’t need them to ask. She gave them the answer directly. “There are a few military doctors from Huben Battalion living here. Even if you don’t believe me, you should be able to trust them.”

“Thank you for saving his life. We were ignorant previously. If we offended you, please be magnanimous and not hold it against us!”

Before Lin Suisui could finish speaking, the soldiers in front of her had already knelt down to her, especially the soldier in the lead. He kowtowed to her a few times with teary eyes.

This commotion shocked Lin Suisui. As she dodged to the side, she asked Su Le to quickly pull them up.

“Don’t be like this. I’m just helping because my husband is also on duty in the army like you guys! I’m a doctor. This is just my duty!

“It’s just like how you soldiers should serve the country. You shouldn’t be so polite!”

After Lin Suisui bowed to the soldier in the lead in embarrassment, she didn’t stay any longer and walked towards the courtyard door quickly.

No matter what, she still couldn’t adapt to such an occasion…

With this delay, it was already dawn when Lin Suisui returned home.

She had just walked around the wall and had not taken a few steps forward when Lu Ze walked out of the room quickly with a cloak on. “Why are you back so late?!”

He had a keen sense of smell. As soon as he approached Lin Suisui, he smelled the smell of blood on her body that had not completely dissipated. He couldn’t help but frown. “What’s going on? Did you encounter danger?!”

“No, I saved a general when I went to buy medicine.” Lin Suisui shook her head. As she squeezed into Lu Ze’s cloak, she whispered about what she had encountered in the pharmacy today.

“I saw that the wound on the general’s arm couldn’t be delayed any longer. The people from the pharmacy clearly didn’t want to cause trouble for themselves and only wanted to push responsibility. I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I helped.”

When Lu Ze heard that she had only saved someone, he heaved a sigh of relief. He took the hand stove from Bai Guo and stuffed it into Lin Suisui’s arms. Then, he instructed in a low voice, “If there’s such a thing next time, get Su Le to arrange for someone to come back and tell me. If you don’t come back soon, I’ll have to go out and look for you!”

“Got it. I was negligent this time!” Lin Suisui looked up and smiled at Lu Ze. She was really happy now. She was originally worried that Lu Ze would be dissatisfied with her taking the initiative to save people this time, but she didn’t expect that he didn’t complain at all. The only reason he was dissatisfied was because she didn’t send a message back in time.

“You have good medical skills. I won’t restrain you from doing what you want. However, you have to take care of yourself. If you ignore your own safety because you’re saving someone, I’ll be angry!” Lu Ze seemed to have seen through Lin Suisui’s thoughts. As he helped her into the room, he continued to instruct her in a low voice, “At that time, don’t blame me for restraining you and not letting you treat others!”

“I know.” Lin Suisui nodded repeatedly and promised Lu Ze seriously.

Seeing this, Lu Ze didn’t continue this topic. He brought Lin Suisui back to the warm room before taking off the cloak she was wearing and giving it to Bai Guo and the others, who had followed them in. Then, he went to the table to bring a bowl of ginger soup to Lin Suisui. “Nanny Song just brewed it and sent it over. You’ve probably been suffering the cold outside for the entire day. Drink it to ward off the cold!”

“By the way, is there a war in the northern region now?!” Lin Suisui took the ginger soup from Lu Ze and took a sip. Then, she looked up at Lu Ze and asked.

“The northern region has always been chaotic during winter. Although the northern barbarians don’t have an army pressing down on the border now, small groups of people have never stopped harassing us!

“The general you’re talking was probably injured when he went out to deal with the enemy!” Lu Ze was very calm as he explained to Lin Suisui, “The garrison in the north isn’t full of ignorant, incompetent, and greedy fools like Gao Xuwei!”
