Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Chapter 207 Forging an Indissoluble Bond

Gu Huairen looked at Xiao Zhixue in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.

"What kind of magic potion did you give me that has such a miraculous effect?"

Hearing that Gu Huairen's voice was much louder than before, Xiao Zhixue showed a satisfied smile on her face.

She had absolute confidence in her medical skills. The Yuling Pill she prepared herself was naturally better than ordinary medicines on the market.

Xiao Zhixue explained with a smile: "This is the Jade Spirit Pill I made myself. It will only take three days for you to recover as before."

Gu Huairen's eyes widened when he heard this. Although he knew that Xiao Zhixue was proficient in medicine, he didn't expect her to be so skilled.

I'm afraid even the imperial doctors in the palace can hardly compare to him.

He had never heard of a seriously injured person being able to recover in just three days.

If it was true as Xiao Zhixue said, his gratitude to her would be beyond words.

Gu Tingxuan, who was standing by, was also shocked and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

He was worried about his father's serious injury and the possible invasion of Dong Chu again. He was afraid that without his father in charge, the army would fall into chaos.

With his current abilities, how could he command the entire army alone and resist a powerful enemy?

Gu Tingxuan asked doubtfully, "Miss Xiao, are you serious?"

Xiao Zhixue glared at Gu Tingxuan unhappily: "Why, are you questioning my medical skills?"

"No, no, no, how dare I question it? Miss Xiao's medical skills are superb, so I naturally believe it."

Gu Tingxuan waved his hands quickly, fearing that his question would anger this woman with excellent medical skills.

Xiao Zhixue raised her chin slightly, her eyes flashing with confidence and pride. She glanced at Gu Tingxuan triumphantly in a slightly provocative manner.

That look seemed to say, if you really trust me, there's no need to say more.

There was unquestionable strength in her tone, and she also reminded him that it was she who pulled him back from the brink of life and death, and this favor should not be easily forgotten.

As she spoke, Xiao Zhixue's eyes inadvertently slid across the jade pendant worn on Gu Tingxuan's waist. The jade pendant, as warm as water, had briefly lay in her palm, carrying the intersection and past of the two people, and finally returned to the chest of its owner, as if it was the reincarnation of fate, silently telling an unfinished story.

Thinking that there were many wounded people outside who urgently needed her treatment, Xiao Zhixue did not stay in the tent for too long.

She left a few brief but powerful instructions to Gu Huairen, and then her figure swiftly swept out of the tent like the breeze.

Gu Huairen's gaze followed Xiao Zhixue's figure gradually away, and then slowly fell on Gu Tingxuan. He thought to himself that perhaps he really underestimated this woman.

It would not be a bad thing if the youngest son could develop an indissoluble bond with her.

Xiao Zhixue, completely unaware that she had become the target of others' attention, strode out of the tent and headed straight for where the wounded were concentrated.

Fang Weiyi and Fang Jiawen had already used up all the trauma medicine in their hands. Faced with many soldiers waiting for treatment, the two seemed a little at a loss.

Seeing Xiao Zhixue coming, they seemed to see hope and hurried forward to ask if there were any remaining medicines.

Xiao Zhixue calmly unpacked her bag and took out more than twenty bottles of precious medicines. She handed them to the two men one by one. Her voice was firm and unquestionable: "Take them for emergency use first. If they are not enough, come back to me."

Fang Weiyi took the porcelain bottle and looked at Xiao Zhixue with a deep gaze that was filled with gratitude and admiration, and then he immediately plunged into the intensive rescue work.

But Fang Jiawen did not leave immediately. He pointed excitedly at the soldier he had just treated, with a proud look on his face: "Sister Zhixue, all this is thanks to me. You see, I can also be useful!"

Seeing this, Xiao Zhixue's face darkened. She didn't want Fang Jiawen to be complacent because of his small achievement: "You are just a few celebrities, and you come to show off in front of me. Why don't you go and take care of other soldiers who need help!"

Fang Jiawen was expecting more praise, but he was criticized instead. He could only say "Oh", looking a little disappointed, and walked towards the other wounded with his head down.

Xiao Zhixue looked at his back and felt a little helpless. Fang Jiawen was like a child who longed for praise from adults and was eager to show off his achievements.

But she doesn't have so much praise to give at any time.

Xiao Zhixue approached the wounded soldiers and began to apply medicine to them with skillful techniques.

As the first rays of dawn illuminated the earth, more than twenty soldiers had stood up again under her careful treatment, and their limbs had regained their former vitality.

Unfortunately, the quantity of her homemade Jade Spirit Pills was limited and could not benefit every injured soldier.

Fortunately, these soldiers were strong-willed, and despite the tremendous pain they endured, no one uttered a cry.

Xiao Zhixue quickly dealt with the remaining wounded soldiers with broken limbs, but the souls of those soldiers who lost their lives due to lack of timely medical treatment have forever rested in this snowy area.

Although the reinforcements were not locals, their hearts were also filled with sadness after witnessing the death of their comrades.

They moved the bodies of their comrades one by one and gathered them together for cremation as a sign of respect.

The torches were lit, flames shot up into the sky, and a burning smell filled the air.

Xiao Zhixue stared at the body that was gradually turning into ashes in the flames, then stepped forward and began to carefully collect the ashes.

The people around her were puzzled by her actions and cast doubtful looks at her.

With a solemn look on her face, she carefully collected every grain of ash and put them into a special cloth bag.

A soldier who participated in the cremation asked curiously: "Miss Xiao, what do you mean?"

Xiao Zhixue lowered her head and continued with her work, but her voice was clear and firm: "They died heroically to protect the people of Xiliang. I want to collect their ashes and use them to make medicine that can save more people. In this way, their sacrifice will have a more far-reaching meaning."

As soon as Xiao Zhixue finished speaking, the surroundings fell into silence, and a deep feeling of awe quietly rose in everyone's heart.

Those who had deep feelings for the deceased could not help but have red eyes and tears welled up in their eyes.

Fang Weiyi suddenly stopped moving. Xiao Zhixue's words seemed like an invisible force, pulling him to turn around and look at her.

His eyes became complicated, showing both touching and indescribable emotions.

Initially, his gratitude to Xiao Zhixue was based solely on her saving his life twice, and the marriage obligations formed according to the custom of the Divine Doctor Valley because she witnessed his body being broken.

But now, he began to realize that Xiao Zhixue's knowledge and vision far exceeded his imagination.

He suddenly realized why a person like Fan Yanmu would be so obsessed with Xiao Zhixue.

If it were him, he would probably find it difficult to sever this emotional bond.
