Chapter 31: Revenge!

  As soon as the general agreed to send someone to invite Zuo Tingxuan, Liu Rong stopped paying attention to the general and instructed the guards left in the house: "I need some strong liquor and boiling water-soaked cloth, as well as scissors, so I can help treat Dong's wounds.

  The two guards looked at each other and then at the great general standing in the house. Seeing the great general nod, they quickly walked out.

  Liu Rong, however, walked back to the bedside, her face studying Dong Huwei's wound, but in her heart, she was trying hard to recall what her instructor had said in class at the academy. She remembered that besides penicillin, there were also purely natural plant antibiotics in this world. At the time, her teacher had mentioned more than one kind, but after she left the academy and arrived at the hospital, she had always been doing surgery, either conducting cultivation experiments or prescribing liquid antibiotics or anti-inflammatory amoxicillin to patients, and had long since forgotten the medicines her instructor had casually mentioned.

  Now, wanting to recall it is indeed too much of a test for her brain. At this time, except for these purely natural things that can be used, she has no way to implement anything else. If she had known earlier that there would be such an embarrassing situation today, she would have definitely taken out the book and memorized all the conditions that could be solved with purely natural plants, so as not to be so indecisive now.

  Of course, she could also choose to cut the thread and remove the dead muscle tissue inside. However, modern medicine emphasizes minimizing wound trauma. Any surgery causes harm to the body, and the larger the incision, the greater the harm, making recovery more difficult. She really didn't want to have the patient undergo another operation to re-cut the thread.

  Liu Rong thought that the guard had already brought in what she had ordered, and she instructed the guard to put it next to the bed. Then she picked up a hot water disinfectant cloth, lightly dipped it in strong liquor, and carefully pressed and wiped the area around Dong's wound to disinfect it.

  The degree of this wine is not good either, although it's already a strong liquor, but compared to modern white wine, it's just dregs. Not to mention the real disinfectant alcohol. Apart from antibiotics being a problem, I'm afraid we'll have to carefully consider refining the degree of the wine later on, otherwise the disinfection effect won't be very good either.

  The general looked at Liu Rong's serious face and was slightly stunned. Although she looked young and weak, when she did things seriously, she was meticulous and didn't miss a single detail. It was as if people had forgotten her age, and that serious face also appeared refined...

  Shangguan Jing'er, on the other hand, was busy helping out, handing over a wet cloth to wipe away the wine, and her face showed a few hints of excitement, as if she wasn't used to doing such things normally.

  "Liu girl, are you going to use the book method to treat Dong Huwei's symptoms?" Liu Lao, who had disappeared without a trace when Liu Rong and Da Jiangjun were at odds, looked at Liu Rong as she treated Dong Huwei's wound, licked his face and walked up to Liu Rong with a flattering expression.

  "Do you want to know?" Liu Rong raised an eyebrow. This unreliable old Liu had asked her to come here and substitute for the doctor, but when she was forced by General Dong to sign a military order, he didn't even show up to help her, let alone say a word on her behalf. Now, after she started treating Dong's wounds, he suddenly appeared again, asking her about the treatment methods for Dong's injuries. Did he think she had no temper at all?

  Upon hearing Liu Rong's response, Old Man Liu hastily nodded his head, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he stared at her: "Of course I want to know!"

  "You don't know, after a war in the army, there are countless lightly and seriously wounded patients. Many of these patients will have more or less fever, unless the wound is cleaned up and restored to a good state, otherwise they will be completely hopeless!"

  Liu Lao spoke repeatedly about the situation on the border, looking at Liu Rong's eyes as if seeing a treasure trove getting brighter and brighter: "As long as we find a way to break through, in the future, the soldiers on the border will definitely be able to survive more!"

  "Miss Liu, please tell me quickly what formula can cure Dong's current symptoms. Once it's promoted, it will definitely save many lives!" Old Liu urged again, staring at Liu Rong who still hadn't made a big move.

  Liu Rong looked at Liu Lao's serious consideration for the border generals and felt a little moved, as if Liu Lao's unreliable image had become more majestic, and for a moment, she couldn't say no.

  Thinking back to previous events, she decided not to simply reveal the method to the other party. After all, as long as she continued to use her medical skills and had contact with the other party, this would not be their last encounter. She had to let them know that they couldn't push her into the fire pit like this again in the future!

  Just now, she remembered the name of a plant that was one of the natural antibiotics mentioned by her instructor when teaching at the academy.

  "Miss Liu?" Old Liu didn't know what Liu Rong was thinking, seeing that she hadn't responded, he couldn't help but look at her nervously.

  Liu Rong made up her mind, hearing Liu Lao's urging, but instead of responding to his question, she slightly curled the corner of her mouth. Just as Liu Lao thought she was about to answer him, Liu Rong suddenly withdrew her smile and said: "You want to know? I'll never tell you!"

  Liu Lao Sha's eyes widened, "Weren't we just talking nicely? How did it suddenly change like this?"

  Liu Rong withdrew her gaze, completely ignoring Old Liu, letting him stare anxiously and circle around her restlessly, continuing to think about the pharmacology and pharmaceutical knowledge she had learned in college.

  "Willow girl is still as spirited as last time, and this time she's teasing Old Liu again?"

  Just as Liu Rong was thinking seriously, a slightly familiar yet somewhat strange voice with a smile rang out. Liu Rong looked up and saw Zuo Tingxuan walking in with a feather fan, wearing a moon-white outfit.

  Liu Rong pouts, pretending to be a cultural youth, but a selfish ghost is still like that no matter how he pretends.

  Zuo Tingxuan, however, was completely oblivious to the ridicule in Liu Rong's eyes and instead looked at her with a persuading expression: "Miss Liu, please don't bully Old Man Liu. Although he is a troublesome person, he values the lives of the border soldiers extremely highly and has even earned the title of 'Living God Doctor' on the frontier! Miss Liu, for the sake of the border soldiers' lives, please tell Old Man Liu the prescription to cure this illness."

  Liu Rong rolled her eyes, this one came in and immediately acted as if she was the host, fitting that she was the villain. However, she didn't think about how she still hadn't paid off her own debts, yet had the leisure to mind other people's business. She decided not to let the other party continue being so relaxed: "Left Gentleman is indeed kind and considerate, since you think this way and want to manage this matter, and feel that the conditions you agreed to are still not enough, then agree to one more condition for me."

  Zuo Tingxuan's face stiffened, and he automatically skipped over the matter, deciding not to help Liu Lao continue speaking. Instead, he watched as Liu Rong quickly changed the subject: "Miss Liu rarely invites me over, so I assume you've called me here today for something?"

  "It's true that some people think my life as the third miss of Wencheng Houfu is too leisurely, so they want to add more things for me to do. They even got the door plaque of Ying Tian Fu and brought me here to stir up trouble. As one of the masterminds behind this, Lord Liu, what kind of excessive demands do you think I should make in order to be worthy of your care?"

  Zuo Tingxuan's face was slightly awkward, and he dryly laughed a few times, but didn't continue the conversation, clearly worried that Liu Rong would make some excessive demands.
