The villagers of Dashui Village were still busy carrying water to irrigate their fields, completely unaware of the dangerous scene unfolding on Tuofeng Mountain.
Old Man Yun and Yun Daman ate lunch at home and took a nap.
Just as they were about to head to the fields, they suddenly saw Yun Erman rushing in carrying a stranger...
"Erman, who is this? Why is he covered in blood?" Old Man Yun asked in surprise.
Before he could finish speaking, a guard entered the courtyard, panting, carrying Prefect Qin.
"Ah, what happened to the Prefect?"
"Dad, he seems to have been shot!" Yun Daman said.
Following closely, Prefect Chen also walked in, clutching his arm, his face grim.
"Dad, quickly ask Huaihua to prepare a room. The Prefect is injured!"
"Ah? Okay, okay!" Old Man Yun nodded and quickly instructed Huaihua, "Go and prepare a room!"
The Old Yun family's house was large and had many rooms.
Jin Huaihua soon cleaned out a back room.
Yun Erman dropped the assassin to the ground, picked up Prefect Qin, and carried him into the room, gently placing him on the bed...
Guard A did not dare to delay, mounted his horse, and galloped towards the county town.
Dashui Village had no doctors, let alone anyone who understood pharmacology.
Yun Erman feared that Prefect Qin would not survive the journey to the county town if he was bumped around.
Madam Gu and Zhao Guihua gathered around, one boiling water, the other wiping sweat.
Liu Cuirong leaned over for a look and exclaimed in horror, "Oh my, who dares to shoot the Prefect like this!"
"It must have been those tree-cutting bandits who did this secretly."
Liu Cuirong's words startled several people in the room.
They exchanged glances and suddenly understood.
That's right, besides those bandits, who else would have a grudge against Prefect Qin and Prefect Chen?
If the Chenxiang Forest was controlled by the government, it would cut off the opponent's financial resources...
"Cough, cough." Prefect Qin spat out a mouthful of blood, his pale cheeks completely devoid of color.
Prefect Chen stomped his feet anxiously, "What should we do? If Prefect Qin has any accidents, how can I explain it!"
"It will take at least an hour to find a doctor from the county town!"
"If it continues like this, Prefect Qin will die of excessive blood loss before the doctor arrives."
These words were not alarmist.
Although the arrowhead did not pierce Prefect Qin's heart, it was deeply embedded in his right chest, near his arm.
The arrowhead must be removed, and then Prefect Qin's wound must be disinfected and sutured...
However, no one in the Yun family could do these things.
Although Zhao Guihua was skilled with needlework, asking her to stitch human flesh would be equivalent to killing her.
Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from the neighboring large house, "Hahaha, we won!"
Madam Gu heard it and was startled.
Without looking back, she ran out and brought back a certain sweet treasure who was playing Gomoku.
"Mom, what happened?"
Little Xi Tian, nestled in Madam Gu's arms, blinked her large, confused, and timid eyes.
"Daughter, you understand medicine, don't you?" Madam Gu asked as she ran.
Yun Jinshan had fallen into an ice hole before, and his whole body was burning like a charcoal stove, but his little daughter had cured him with just a few pills...
Little Xi Tian looked at her mother blankly, "I don't know complex things!"
That's right, her main job was not a doctor, but agriculture.
However, dealing with wounds was not difficult.
Madam Gu lowered her head and kissed Little Xi Tian, "You are truly my good daughter."
Inside the room, there was a somber atmosphere.
As soon as Little Xi Tian entered, she felt suffocated.
"Open the window!"
Her crisp, childish voice immediately drew everyone's attention.
Old Man Yun was overjoyed...
Oh my, his little daughter understood medicine. How could he have forgotten in his haste?
Hearing the commotion, Xiao Jinheng also came over with Kong Xingzhuo.
Prefect Qin and Prefect Chen were officials appointed by the court. How could he remain calm when they were attacked like this?
"Have you sent for a doctor?" Xiao Jinheng asked.
Prefect Chen nodded, "Someone has already been sent."
Xiao Jinheng glanced at the corpse slumped at the door and frowned, "Is he the assassin?"
"Yes, after Erman caught him, he poisoned himself!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinheng pondered for a moment, then whispered a few words to Kong Xingzhuo, giving him some instructions.
"Understood!"
Kong Xingzhuo picked up the corpse and left the Yun family.
The room fell silent again, leaving only Prefect Qin's weak breathing and the sound of everyone wiping sweat.
Little Xi Tian walked to the bedside, "Everyone step back a bit!"
She was going to examine the patient's wound!
Everyone took a step back, looking at Little Xi Tian nervously.
"The wound is so deep!" Little Xi Tian observed for a while.
It was not possible to pull it out directly, as the arrowhead had a barb, which would tear the muscle.
For such an arrow wound, an incision needed to be made at the point of entry to slowly remove the arrowhead...
Then, the wound would be sutured and bandaged to stop the bleeding.
Although Prefect Qin had fainted, he still needed to be given anesthesia to prevent him from enduring the pain, which could lead to a deeper coma or even death.
After confirming the severity of the wound, Little Xi Tian was about to get her surgical instruments and medical supplies!
"You all go out first."
This baby needs to get the medicine, don't scare yourselves.
Madam Gu naturally knew what her little daughter was going to do and smiled, saying, "Wait outside. There are too many people here, don't distract Tian Bao!"
Prefect Chen looked at Little Xi Tian, then at Prefect Qin, feeling a little uneasy.
Could such a young child really perform surgery?
He remembered that Prefect Qin's daughter had sprained her ankle last time, and it seemed to have been cured by Tian Bao...
After everyone went out, Xiao Jinheng remained in the room.
He said seriously, "I'll assist you!"
Finally, he could get a glimpse of what was in Little Xi Tian's satchel.
Even touching it would be fine!
Xiao Jinheng was extremely excited.
Unexpectedly, Little Xi Tian said with a serious face, "No!"
This baby doesn't need help, she can handle it alone.
Xiao Jinheng raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure?"
"Mmm!"
"Alright!"
Saving a life was the priority.
He could peek through the window.
After closing the door, Xiao Jinheng quickly ran to the window frame, poked a hole in the window paper with his small hand, and peered inside.
He saw Little Xi Tian take out a syringe and inject it around the wound.
Xiao Jinheng watched, his heart pounding.
This little village girl, who usually looked silly and cute, was actually quite ruthless with her actions...
Then, she picked up a sharp scalpel and made an incision in the wound.
Ugh!
Xiao Jinheng felt a churning in his stomach. Why did he feel like vomiting?
The little village girl was so cruel.
He couldn't watch anymore.
Everyone waited anxiously outside the door, and Prefect Chen was even more dizzy with anxiety.
His own wound had not been treated yet.
In such hot weather, it could easily become infected.
But the Prefect had not yet escaped danger, so he dared not go to the county town for treatment.
After an unknown amount of time, the door finally opened.
Little Xi Tian's forehead was covered in sweat, and her hands were stained with blood...
