Chapter 31 The Damn Quack

While the Hu Jis were cleaning the house, Yun Chu opened the tunnel door and found that under a dim light, a thin old man who looked like a monkey was sitting opposite a fat little girl, concentrating on playing with stones.

They both looked innocent and evil, but the scene seemed a little scary to outsiders.

"Take good care of Naha, then I will be truly grateful to you." Yun Chu came up and joined the ranks of catching stones.

"I don't need you to thank me. Looking at what you have been thinking these days, you are trying your best to avoid the war.

Boy, do you think you can escape?"

Yun Chu smiled and threw the stone up, caught it with the back of his hand deftly, shook his hand again, and the stone flew up again. He caught the three stones he needed in the air and put them on the small table and said: "As long as I am cautious enough, I will definitely escape. The invading Turks are not as strong as you say, and the soldiers guarding Qiuci are not as weak as you think."

"Why did you kill Hou San? He is a slave. As a strong man, you should have compassion, not to mention that he is your clansman."

Yun Chu smiled silently and did not answer Lao Yangpi's words. As long as he did not see him kill someone with his own eyes, Yun Chu would not admit it.

"It seems that you should be a natural Tang person. I thought the biggest reason you killed him was because he accepted my bribe and betrayed the bright name of Tang people, right?"

Yun Chu looked around and talked about other things.

"Why can you come and go without a trace in Qiuci City?"

Old Sheepskin smiled and said, "It's nothing strange. The yard next to this yard is also my yard, and the yard next to the next yard also belongs to me."

Yun Chu was surprised and looked at Old Sheepskin and said, "Why do I have the illusion that the whole Qiuci City belongs to you?"

Old Sheepskin also smiled but did not answer. He stretched out his wrinkled hand and stuffed a pigeon egg-sized sand date into Naha's mouth.

Yun Chu stood up and bowed to Old Sheepskin seriously, saying, "If I die in the battle, please help me take good care of Naha, not for anything else, just for the interesting words that the Buddha said."

Old Sheepskin stretched out a finger and scratched Naha's slightly upturned nose and said, "If you die, she will become a noble princess. If you don't die, I think she will live a happier life than a princess in the future."

Naha was amused by Old Sheepskin and laughed. It can be seen that she really likes this monkey-like man in front of her.

When Yunchu came out of the tunnel, the Hu Ji had already cleaned the courtyard very clean. At the same time, the linen that had been washed and boiled with willow water according to Yunchu's instructions was torn into four-finger-wide strips and hung under the scorching sun.

The Turks outside the city seemed to be waiting for someone, or waiting for an opportunity, which made Yunchu very confused.

You know, General Liang Jianfang was waiting for such an opportunity to get rid of the Turks at once.

The little accident made He Yuanshan and others very excited. As long as the Turks wasted one more day, their chances of survival would be one point higher.

"Yunchu, have a drink to relieve your fatigue!"

Liu Xiong seemed happier than anyone else. When he saw Yunchu, he threw his beloved wine pot to invite him to drink.

Yunchu was not very interested in all the wines in this era, mainly because the process of brewing was not hygienic at all.

People in the Western Regions like to drink barley wine, that is, highland barley wine. The alcohol content of this wine is still low, and most of them are sweet.

As for another kind of milk wine called "Arili", it is probably the predecessor of mare's milk wine. This kind of wine is bitter and sour, more like yogurt than wine.

The process of brewing wine itself is a process of bacterial transformation. If it is well controlled, it is wine, but if it is not well controlled, it is poison that harms people.

It is not worth taking such a big risk just to taste that insignificant alcohol.

"The Turks have no intention of attacking the city." Seeing that Yun Chu did not drink, Liu Xiong took a big gulp himself and said to Yun Chu happily.

"I didn't see the Turks making ladders, nor did I see the Turks shouting and cursing outside the city."

Zhang An, the chief guard, was also in a very high mood and quickly added on the side.

"Their cavalry didn't even shoot arrows at the top of the city..." Another chief guard was even more excited.

Judging from the reactions of these people, they actually don't like fighting.

Yun Chu smiled and said to He Yuanshan: "The book says that there are only three aspects to attacking a city: attacking from the outside, sending spies from the inside, and attacking the defenders from both inside and outside to seize the city.

Since there is no movement outside, should we focus on the city?"

He Yuanshan shook his head and said: "Last time we found the tunnel, we privately robbed and killed those Turkic spies, which was beyond our authority."

"Overstepped our authority? Captain Ding?"

He Yuanshan laughed and changed the subject, saying that he could have a good sleep tonight.

Yun Chu looked at Liu Xiong again and found that this guy didn't seem to want to continue talking. He leaned against the city wall and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Yun Chu realized that he might have asked about the taboos of others, so he naturally stopped asking. Since the war had not started, he, who was responsible for collecting wounded soldiers, naturally had nothing to do.

As it was getting dark, Yun Chu returned to Lao Yangpi's house, carried the already asleep Naha out of the tunnel, and placed her on a Hu bed. He also lay on the Hu bed but could not fall asleep no matter how hard he tried. There were so many troubles in such a small city of Qiuci with a population of less than 6,000.

To be honest, he was a little tired of the shitty things here. It would be more appropriate to leave and return to Chang'an as soon as possible to live a normal life.

At night, there were many animals in Qiuci City. The camels, which were usually the most silent, were not very obedient at this time. When they saw the moon in the sky, they would call out "Ahhhh——" with a long tone. The sound was very loud. Once one camel started calling, the rest of the camels would call out whenever there was something wrong. The sound of the chorus was deafening, and people wanted to wipe off the camels' necks.

Just when Yun Chu was drowsy, a fierce knock on the door woke him up. He sat up suddenly, and Naha immediately got into his arms.

The mute who temporarily acted as a doorman opened the door tremblingly. Yun Chu had already sent Naha into the tunnel.

Seven or eight black-clothed men wearing bamboo hats walked into the yard carrying a door panel. The man walking in front said in a deep voice: "Where is the doctor?"

Speaking of which, there is only one doctor in the wounded camp newly built by Yun Chu, and this doctor is naturally Yun Chu.

Seeing that these people seemed to have no ill intentions, Yun Chu stood up and bowed, saying: "The head of the wounded camp, Yun Chu, is here."

The leading man saw that the person who came out was a dark-faced young man from Tang Dynasty, and couldn't help frowning and said: "Are there no other doctors?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Go out and walk west for six hundred steps. There is the home of the lieutenant of Zhechoufu. You can go there to find other doctors."

The leading strong man took out a copper plate full of patterns, shook it in front of Yun Chu and said: "Save him!"

Although it was only a moment, Yun Chu could still see it clearly. There were three seal characters written on the sign - bad people!

When these three words entered Yun Chu's eyes, his brain immediately entered a crazy search mode.

It was strange that he had read so many documents, and none of them mentioned these three words.

However, since this person waved this sign at him, a second-level clerk, it can only mean that his position is higher than his.

This is not right. After Yun Chu entered the Daguanling Yamen, his main focus of studying and reading documents was the official configuration of the Tang Dynasty. As for this bad person, he really didn't know what he did.

The thought lasted only a moment. Yun Chu then asked these bad people to put the injured on a wooden bed. Then, five or six Hu Ji holding oil lamps appeared, illuminating the whole room.

Hu Ji who can make money by dancing and selling their looks are naturally beautiful, especially under the oil lamp. Everyone's face is covered with a layer of soft light yellow light by the oil lamp, which makes the Hu Ji's originally rough skin look soft.

Yun Chu carefully cut open the clothes of the injured with scissors and found that the guy's legs were full of scars of different sizes, and some of the scars could already see the bones.

The blood vessels in the thighs were also spurting blood. Yun Chu used a linen strip to tie the man's thighs tightly. The blood flowing from the broken blood vessels changed from fountains to dripping water.

Looking at the pale face of the injured and his completely bloodless lips, Yun Chu said to the leading strong man: "The largest blood vessel in the injured person's body is broken. He bleeds too much and may not be saved."

"What do you mean by may not be saved? In other words, it is possible to save him, right?"

Yun Chu frowned and said: "What's the point of saving him? Even if he is saved, both of his legs will be chopped off, which may be more cruel than killing him. I have a medicine. After he drinks it, he will fall into a coma and die without knowing it. This should be the best treatment for him."

"You damn quack doctor!" One of the strong men was so angry at Yun Chu's words that he punched Yun Chu in the face.

Yun Chu nimbly avoided the punch and once again said to the leader of the bad guys: "You should understand that what I said is the truth. Anyone who tells you that he can save your companion is a quack.

If it was winter, there might be a chance of survival. Now it is hot, his wound will fester, stink, and grow maggots... Think about it carefully, do you want to let him suffer such a crime?"

"Is there really no way?" The strong man who wanted to hit Yun Chu asked with a sob.

Yun Chu came to the strong man and said regretfully: "My ability is not enough to treat such injuries. In addition, there is no sterile room, no disinfectant, no penicillin, no suitable scalpel, and my medical skills are not up to the level of connecting blood vessels. In addition, I have no way to inject your blood into his blood vessels to prolong his life...

To be honest, he has no chance of survival. In such an environment, even if Sun Shenxian comes in person, he can't save him."

Yun Chu's words were very sincere. Although what he said was unheard of by these people, everyone could see that he was speaking from the heart.

After hearing Yun Chu's words, the sad strong man threw himself on the unconscious injured person and cried loudly.

"Even if Sun Shenxian came in person, he couldn't save him. Is this true?"

The leading strong man confirmed it with a hoarse voice.

Yun Chu thought about it and felt that Sun Simiao should not be able to save this person who was about to bleed out of his body. He nodded solemnly and said: "Indeed, if you see Sun Shenxian in the future, you can ask him in person."

The strong man's companion pulled up the grief-stricken person. The leading strong man came to the injured person, tidied up his messy hair, put a big hand on the injured person's neck, and whispered: "We will be brothers in the next life!"

After saying this, the veins on his hands throbbed and he twisted them vigorously, causing the injured man's neck to tilt to one side. After he exhaled a long breath, he became motionless.
