Chapter 106: Princess Consort, you are a good person

The day before yesterday, Xiao Shier went digging vegetables in the mountains, and when she came back she had a high fever.

When I was wiping Xiao Shier's body yesterday, I saw two red spots on her ankle, but I didn't pay attention at the time. Old Two immediately exclaimed.

If it was a bite, that spot would be the teeth.

Jiang Yunchu quickly pulled open the child's ankle and saw the two red spots.

"Come in, two women to help; everyone else, wait outside." Jiang Yunchu picked up the child, said nothing, and hurried to the room behind her.

Now it doesn't matter whose house it is.

"I'll go." Old Two immediately followed behind Jiang Yunchu.

Also a young woman followed and entered the room.

Jiang Yunchu looked at the two people and said, "First, let me say this: I want your lives, and there are countless ways to do it."

"Now, whatever I do, it's all to save her. Do you understand?"

For a moment, she was no longer that calm and breezy woman; she exuded authority without anger, her gaze carrying immense pressure.

Old Two quickly nodded.

The young woman said, "I've remembered."

"Now, let the outside boil hot water, three big pots as base, each family boils and sends it over to have ready."

"I'll write the medicinal ingredients and have the black-clad people outside buy them, riding hard and fast."

"Good." The three of them immediately got busy.

Jiang Yunchu first took off all the child's clothes, then wiped her body with warm water, after which silver needles quickly dropped and she twisted them at several acupoints.

She needed to control the blood flow speed; the snake's venom wasn't strong, otherwise this child wouldn't have survived.

It was impossible for her to last until her arrival.

"Princess Consort, the medicinal ingredients have been bought." A shout came from outside.

"Go get it inside." Jiang Yunchu pointed at Old Two just now.

Old Two trotted out and received a pile of medicinal ingredients.

Jiang Yunchu divided the medicinal ingredients into a portion, then threw them into the bathing tub, she pulled out the silver needles from the child's body, leaving only the six silver needles on the head.

The toxin surges upward, corroding people's nerves.

"Hold her steady." Jiang Yunchu and the young woman said.

Then she looked at Old Two and said, "I'm going to cut her wrist to let blood; you can look away."

They had lived together for three years; although they didn't share the same parents and had no blood relation, their long companionship made them a special family.

Jiang Yunchu feared she couldn't bear to see this, so she gave a heads‑up in advance.

Also afraid that if she became emotionally agitated midway, she might make a mistake and not have time to save her.

"I can." Old Two's eyes were firm, and she even proactively lifted the youngest's wrist.

The child's hand trembled slightly, but she showed no hesitation.

Whether it was the eldest or this Old Two, they gave Jiang Yunchu endless feelings.

As the saying goes, children from poor families mature early, and that's not without reason.

They...

They had long been forced to grow up.

"I'm about to act." Jiang Yunchu gave a reminder.

Then the dagger swiftly slit the girl's wrist; blood, as if finding an outlet, kept gushing toward this side.

The basin below received the drops of blood—black, brown, purple—gradually turning red.

Jiang Yunchu constantly observed the blood's color; when it returned to normal, she quickly used silver needles to stop the bleeding.

Then she sprinkled medicinal powder on the wound, and with a clean white cloth she bound the wound.

When she finished all this, Jiang Yunchu felt a bit dizzy and her whole body toppled backward.

"Princess Consort!" Old Two quickly ran over and lay directly behind Jiang Yunchu.

Midway, Jiang Yunchu planted one hand on the ground, shook her head, and regained clarity.

The room was filled with the smell of blood.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yunchu saw the girl lying behind her, frowned, reached out, and helped her up.

Old Two rose, supported Jiang Yunchu's arm, and then helped her onto a stool.

The whole room was empty except for that one stool.

"Princess Consort, you are a good person."

Old Two's big eyes, black and white distinct, when looking at Jiang Yunchu, had no more guard in them.

"A good person?" Jiang Yunchu laughed; having lived two lives, this was the first time anyone had evaluated her that way.

In her previous life, someone called her Holy Hand; on the battlefield she plucked back the lives of comrades one by one.

Also someone called her King of Hell, because she not only could save people, she could also kill them.

She was not an ordinary battlefield medic; she was a female soldier who walked out alive from the Hunter Academy, the only female soldier to have done so.

And having crossed over to this era, she had not saved anyone; on the contrary, she had killed people.

"A good person?"

Hehe~

"I'm certainly not a good person." Jiang Yunchu shook her head.

Old Two had already returned to the youngest's bucket edge, looking at the youngest's face at this moment, the dark patch was gradually fading, possibly because the water was hot or the toxin had been expelled, and the youngest's complexion began to redden.

Jiang Yunchu sat for a moment, then came to the water bucket's edge, saying, "Let the outside send in a bucket of hot water."

"I'll go right away." Old Two, without waiting for Jiang Yunchu to say more, immediately ran out.

After a moment, the ten-something-year-old himself carried a bucket of hot water.

Jiang Yunchu walked over, Old Two set the bucket down and said, "I can do it."

Stubbornly picked up the water bucket, then placed it to one side.

Jiang Yunchu reached out a hand to help, but for the first time, someone actually refused it.

She shook her head somewhat amusedly; originally she had other plans, but now she had other thoughts in her heart.

"Do you want to study?" Jiang Yunchu ladled hot water, gently poured it into the medicine bucket, tested the water temperature, then stopped.

Old Two pointed at his own nose, then gave a bitter laugh.

"I have no silver, I have no parents, I just want to eat my fill."

She and the eldest are older; often they take more care of the younger siblings; they eat food, as long as they eat half-full and not starve to death it's fine; sometimes when they wake up hungry at night, they go to the well, draw a bucket of water, and drink it gulping.

Study?

Even if she had silver, could she study?

Only boys can go to study; she is a girl.

Jiang Yunchu looked at her appearance, and she didn't bring it up again.

The silver needle kept emitting white smoke; after Jiang Yunchu turned it around, finally pulled the silver needle out.

She looked at the child's eyelids, then took the pulse, and only then said to the young woman, "Bring the child out."

The young woman nodded, and lifted the child out of the water bucket.

Jiang Yunchu untied her own cloak, spread it on the wooden plank bed, and wrapped the little girl in it.

The water in that medicine bucket, I don't know if it's because of the medicine, is pitch-black like ink, or because of poison, you can't see your fingers.

"How is it?" It's already been half an hour; those tenant farmers have already been sent by Wang Han to watch the fields; the other few children are now guarding the gate, unwilling to leave.

"The youngest hasn't woken up yet." Old Two shook his head.
