Chapter 1494: Chapter 1595: Mysterious Uncle to the Rescue_1

Bai Ruozhu’s hands didn’t stop as she said, "There’s no need to be so polite, let’s talk after I’ve cured the patient."

Liao Hongzhe’s face flushed with embarrassment, realizing this was what he had just requested, he felt even more ashamed. He only needed to see Bai Ruozhu insert the needle to know that she was no ordinary doctor.

At that time, the Acupuncture Technique had not been widely disseminated, and a good needlework technique was something most doctors could not even come into contact with. Like Liao Hongzhe, who only used acupuncture at certain Acupuncture points to play a supportive role in treatment, but he didn’t know a full set of needlework techniques like Bai Ruozhu did.

Straightaway, Bai Ruozhu took out a sharp Dagger and cut away the necrotic flesh from the patient, then disinfected with alcohol, and finally applied top-quality healing medicine.

Bai Ruozhu wrote out Formulas and said, "You’ll need both internal and external treatments. Here are the prescriptions; you should get started at once, as there can be no further delay."

Liao Hongzhe looked at the delicate small script on the Formulas, his feelings a mix of admiration for Bai Ruozhu’s profound talents at such a young age, and shame for judging her based on her appearance.

He didn’t dare delay and immediately sent someone to prepare the medicinal Decoction. By the time he returned, he found that Bai Ruozhu and her team had already left.

Liao Hongzhe wanted to follow them, but he discovered that the patient had woken up and his temperature seemed to be dropping. The patient was spirited, so it wasn’t good for Liao to leave. He then shared with the patient what Bai Ruozhu had said about fitting a prosthetic limb.

"How could that be possible? How can one walk with a fake leg?" Patient Zhou Shu thought the doctor was just consoling him and was full of doubt.

"Initially, I also found it hard to believe, but that doctor is no ordinary person. Although she is a woman, she is a fourth-rank officer consecrated by the Imperial Court, in charge of the Female Physicians Institution in the Palace. She also treated your worsening wound, and her Acupuncture Technique is simply miraculous," Liao Hongzhe had already forgotten how he had been skeptical of her just less than half an hour ago.

"So, I can actually stand up again?" Zhou Shu couldn’t quite believe it, yet at the same time, he grasped at the hope like a drowning person seizing a lifeline—though doubtful, his eyes were filled with hope.

"Doctor Bai said it was possible, but the prerequisite is that you heal your wound first. Only then can the prosthetic limb be fitted," Liao Hongzhe said.

Zhou Shu’s face showed resolve, "As long as I can stand up again, I am willing to endure any hardship!"

...

After leaving the City West Clinic, Bai Ruozhu said to Jiu Sheng, "I’ve already decided. You go back and post an announcement at the headquarters’ entrance, saying we will offer three days of free medical clinic for the people. The doctors offering the clinic will be the Female Chief Doctor and the Imperial Doctor from the Palace."

Jiu Sheng immediately understood her intention, "I will also join the free clinic, but it seems like just the two of us might not be enough."

"For now, this is all we can do. We can’t force these things. If it doesn’t work out, then you can take the morning shift and I’ll take the afternoon. I’ve done full-day clinics before," Bai Ruozhu said with a smile, recalling the time when she was the Divine Doctor Zhuhua, tirelessly holding several days of free clinics. Her reputation even reached the ears of the hidden Jiang Yichun and helped her successfully rescue him from Li Yi’s clutches.

Jiu Sheng was greatly surprised, "Master, you’ve conducted free clinics before?"

That event was long past and not a secret, so she said with a smile, "Back in the day, I became Zhuhua in the Northwest, and after offering free clinics for several days, it did indeed improve my skills significantly."

"You are the Divine Doctor Zhuhua?" Jiu Sheng’s eyes widened in astonishment, "Wasn’t Divine Doctor Zhuhua said to be a plain-looking middle-aged woman?"

Bai Ruozhu hadn’t expected Jiu Sheng to know of her disguise and said with a laugh, "Haven’t you heard of the Facechanging Technique in this world?"

Jiu Sheng slapped his head, "Oh, I should have thought of this earlier. When the news reached the capital, everyone said that Zhuhua was a divine physician with miraculous acupuncture skills. We were all curious and wanted to meet her to learn, but who would have thought that it turned out to be Master you!"

Bai Ruozhu was somewhat proud to be praised by her disciple, and she was about to boast a few words when she sensed a chill at the corner of her eye. Jianqi’s figure moved in front of her, his long sword dancing to block the incoming hidden weapons.

"Jiu Sheng, hide yourself; their target isn’t you!" Bai Ruozhu said in a hushed and fast voice. She couldn’t believe these assassins dared to strike in broad daylight and on such a bustling street, it was simply too brazen!

Jiu Sheng hesitated for a moment but knew that following by her side would only hold her back, so he quickly moved to the side. Unexpectedly, a masked assassin, crafty to the core, saw Jiu Sheng with Bai Ruozhu and lunged over to capture him as leverage against Bai Ruozhu.

"Be careful!" Bai Ruozhu shouted, forming seals with her hands and casting a magic technique at the black-clothed person attacking Jiu Sheng. Caught off guard, the assailant was struck in the face and tumbled backward.

Now Bai Ruozhu didn’t dare let Jiu Sheng wander off, so she had to have him stay behind her. Jiu Sheng showed some guts; despite knowing no martial arts and having his legs shaking with fear, he was determined to stand in front of Bai Ruozhu.

Passing civilians fled in every direction. A total of eight black-clad men attacked Bai Ruozhu, with some even throwing hidden weapons at her.

Bai Ruozhu changed the seals she was forming, and an invisible barrier appeared in front of her and Jiu Sheng. The hidden weapons thudded against it, unable to pierce through, but this greatly drained her essence, and soon sweat beads formed on her forehead.

Jianqi had been grazed on his arm and thigh by hidden weapons, looking somewhat disheveled. With a cold face he said, "Master, the signal has been sent, our horsemen will arrive soon."

Bai Ruozhu clenched her teeth and nodded. She was struggling to hold on, while Jiu Sheng, seeing that the hidden weapons couldn’t hurt them, had his face filled with amazement. He then remembered that his master was not just a doctor but also a leading disciple of the Astrology Tower.

Just then, the assassin who had been struck with the magic technique in the face quietly circled to their back, with a sinister gleam shining from his narrowed eyes.

He thrust his sword rapidly towards Bai Ruozhu’s back. She felt the cold air on her back but was too occupied with blocking the hidden weapons in front to turn around, seeing her back about to be pierced through!

"Master!" Jianqi roared, his eyes almost bursting with rage, but unfortunately, he was entangled with an assassin and couldn’t get away. Distracted for a moment, he received two more sword cuts, blood gushing out, yet he felt no pain at all.

If she were to die, what would he do? He was her dark guard, and he did not want to serve another master for the rest of his life.

In that moment, a wave of despair overwhelmed him. Even Jianqi, usually so calm, had his eyes turn bloodshot, filled with a murderous desire to kill everyone involved.

With a thud, the shadow that had been sneaking up on Bai Ruozhu was sent flying, but it was not Bai Ruozhu who was hurt—it was the assassin!

Bai Ruozhu turned back, her heart still pounding, only to see that a little distance away, a handsome older man had thrown something, knocking the assassin away. On closer inspection, it was a packaged item—judging by the emblem on the wrapping paper, it was a takeout from Welcome Guest.

To knock a martially adept assassin flying with just a package of food—this person was undoubtedly an expert!
