Jiang Yang, who was on night watch duty, heard the noise and walked to the door. “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Qiao Yang.”
Jiang Yang opened the gate when he heard Qiao Yang’s voice.
“What are you doing here so late at night?”
Qiao Yang rushed here on the galloping horse all the way and he hadn’t caught his breath yet. “It’s urgent. Where’s Madam Su? I have an urgent matter to discuss with her.”
Su Ying was already wide awake when Qiao Yang knocked on the gate. The night was quiet, and his voice could be heard all the way inside the house.
Su Ying carefully moved the two little ones stuck to her and put on her clothes before walking out.
…..
Xiao Jin, who was sleeping on the other bed, also sat up when he heard the commotion.
When Su Ying reached the courtyard, Qiao Yang rushed up to her agitatedly. “Madam Su, 1 know I shouldn’t have come to bother you so late at night, but my big brother is not going to make it. I heard the other people say that you are well-versed in medical skills and you might be able to save him. Please come with me to take a look at my big brother.” Su Ying frowned. “What happened to your big brother?”
Qiao Yang slapped his thigh angrily and said, “To tell you the truth, when Big Brother went to pick up the goods today, he ran into those rascals from the Azure Dragon Base. They had a lot of people, and they deployed underhand methods. Not only did they steal our goods, but Big Brother was also seriously injured by their concealed weapons. At first, 1 thought it wouldn’t be a big problem, but unexpectedly, Big Brother’s wound started bleeding again at night and it wouldn’t stop. The physician said that if the bleeding didn’t stop, he would die!”
Su Ying didn’t hesitate for long and consented quickly. “I’ll go with you.”
After Su Ying said a few words to Jiang Yang, she went to the shed to get the horse.
The two of them rode their horses at full speed toward the entrance of the Tiger Base, and they arrived in less than an hour.
Su Ying followed Qiao Yang into the compound and leaped off the horse.
“Second Master, you’re back.”
“How’s my big brother?”
The subordinate’s expression looked very uneasy. “The physician has been trying to stop the bleeding, but he just couldn’t stop the blood flow. Second Master, please go and take a look quickly.”
Qiao Yang led Su Ying up to the room on the second floor.
Tiger Might’s room took up the entire second floor. As soon as Su Ying reached the outside of the door, she could detect the strong smell of blood.
Two physicians were next to the bed trying to stem Tiger Might’s bleeding, but looking at the basins of bloodied water that his subordinates kept bringing out, the bleeding had not stopped at all.
“Physician, how’s my big brother?”
When they heard Qiao Yang’s voice, the two physicians stood up with troubled looks and said, “Second Master, the leader’s wound is too big. We can’t… we can’t stop the bleeding at all!”
“Let me take a look.”
“Yes, yes. You two move aside. Let Madam Su take a look.”
The two physicians retreated to the side and made way for Su Ying.
Su Ying went up to check and found that Tiger Might’s abdomen had been seriously injured by a sharp weapon. The blood was flowing out of that wound endlessly.
“All of you, get out. My healing skills are passed down from my ancestors.”
Qiao Yang understood immediately. A skill passed down from the ancestors should not be revealed to outsiders. “Okay, okay. We’ll go out. Madam Su, I’ll leave my big brother in your hands.”
Qiao Yang led everyone out of the room.
She had roughly understood Tiger Might’s injuries with one look just now. It was very difficult to treat such a wound outside, so she could only bring him into the inter spatial store for surgery.
After bringing Tiger Might into the interspatial store, Su Ying first stopped the bleeding. He was bleeding non-stop because his internal organs had been injured, and the internal hemorrhaging was very serious.
Su Ying took a blood sample and used the equipment to determine a match for his blood type. After confirming his blood type, she gave him a blood transfusion while performing surgery and stopping the hemorrhaging concurrently.
Su Ying pushed aside Tiger Might’s spleen and found a concealed weapon the size of a thumb inside. No wonder the two physicians couldn’t stop the bleeding. They couldn’t locate the source of the problem.
The concealed weapon was hidden deep in the spleen, and there was a high volume of blood flowing out. It was impossible to find it without careful examination.
Su Ying carefully removed the concealed weapon and threw it to one side. After removing the weapon, it was much easier to stop the bleeding. After she had cleaned up all the blood clots in his abdomen, she began to stitch up the wound.
After bandaging the wound, Su Ying looked at the amount of blood she had given him in the transfusion. Good Lord! She had given him a few thousand milliliters of blood. It was as if all the blood in his body had been changed. If he hadn’t met her, he w7ould have died for sure.
After making sure that Tiger Might’s body was slowly recovering, Su Ying pulled out the blood transfusion needle and brought the man out.
She raised her head to look at the sky outside the window. The sky was actually almost bright.
Su Ying opened the door and walked out.
Qiao Yang, who had been waiting the whole night, walked over at once. “Madam Su, you’re finally out. My big brother, is… is he alright?”
Su Ying noticed that he looked haggard. Under such anxious circumstances, when she didn’t come out the entire night, he didn’t barge in either. This proved that he trusted her completely.
“His life is no longer in danger, but he has lost too much blood, so his body will recover more slowly. This is the concealed weapon that was removed from inside his body.”
Qiao Yang looked at the concealed weapon in Su Ying’s hand and clenched his fist. “1 won’t let these bastards from the Azure Dragon Base off!
Su Ying remembered Qiao Yang saying that the batch of seeds she wanted had been snatched away by the people from the Azure Dragon Base.
She went down with Qiao Yang and sat down in the hall on the first floor.
Qiao Yang quickly got someone to bring Su Ying some food and drinks.
“What’s with this Azure Dragon Base?”
Qiao Yang gritted his teeth and said, “Madam Su, you may not be aware. For the past hundred years, the northern wilderness has been a place where the neighboring states exiled their criminals. So after many years, countless criminals and their descendants have amassed here. Where there are people, there will be disputes. So, in the northern wilderness, various camps have been formed.”
Su Ying tapped her fingers on the table. A northern wilderness where all the evil people had gathered w7as much scarier than a cold, vast, and desolate northern wilderness.
Qiao Yang did not know how7 many camps there w^ere in the northern wilderness. “The reason we are located so close to the border of Chu State is that the better places have already been occupied as there are more resources further in. Even the Venom Cult can’t do anything about it and can only settle down in the Tiger Base.”
Qiao Yang took a sip of water and continued, “This Azure Dragon Base is just behind us, just on that slope behind Madam Su’s house. Their people often go to the borders of the various states to buy supplies, so sometimes our men will run into them. It’s not that those thieving dogs didn’t rob us before, but Big Brother was able to stop them so we didn’t get robbed. This time, because we were only buying seeds and there weren’t that many goods, Big Brother brought fewer people with him. It just so happened that they were doing their big purchase. When the tw7o sides clashed, our side was at a disadvantage, and Big Brother was injured by them.
“Not only did they steal our seeds, but they also injured my people.
“Yes, but don’t worry, Madam Su. I won’t let this matter go. Today, 1’11 bring some people and grab our stuff back!”
Su Ying raised her eyebrows and looked at him nonchalantly. “You think you can beat someone that your big brother can’t defeat?”
Su Ying’s skeptical expression instantly ignited Qiao Yang’s fighting spirit. “Madam Su, you wait and see.. If I don’t get our stuff back, I… 1 will… 1 will eat the dog shit at the entrance!”
