Chapter 821: Chapter 548: Breaking out in a Cold Sweat (Second Update)

However, at this time, what no one had expected was that Mu Lin’s arrival was much quicker than imagined.

Much, much quicker, and it was also an entrance that attracted everyone’s attention.

The sound of the helicopter’s propellers rose above everyone’s heads.

Hearing the noise, those who were busy with rescue efforts and medical treatment instinctively looked up, staring at the sudden appearance of the military helicopter, slightly stunned.

Slowly, something descended vertically from above, and the first thing to appear before everyone’s eyes was a goshawk.

If a goshawk appeared here, that also meant... A thought arose in the minds of the soldiers.

"Thanks a lot," Mu Lin called out to the soldier piloting the helicopter, and before the latter could react, Mu Lin had already leaped down, startling him immensely. Qiaozi followed closely behind Mu Lin.

"Military Doctor Mu, you haven’t..." secured the safety rope for descent.

Unfortunately, this sentence was already carried away by the wind, leaving the young soldier dumbfounded.

Military Doctor Mu just... jumped down! Jumped down...

Not only were the people above dumbfounded, but those on the ground were also shocked, breaking out in a cold sweat; they had just been admiring the majestic goshawk when this sudden jump had proven to be too horrifying.

This person must have a death wish!

This was what many people were thinking at that moment.

Both soldiers and civilians alike watched in a daze as Mu Lin slid down using just a rope; especially since... Mu Lin was heavily pregnant.

Sitting up top, as he watched Mu Lin land safely, the young soldier unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

He really broke out in a cold sweat; Military Doctor Mu was absolutely terrifying—such courage was truly not something anyone could possess.

After all, most people didn’t know that with some support, such a height wasn’t much of an issue for Mu Lin.

Recognizing Mu Lin, soldiers quickly came forward to assist, picking up the medical supplies beside Mu Lin, "Military Doctor Mu?" They were surprised to see Mu Lin appear so suddenly. It must be because of Jing Youlan.

The news of Jing Youlan getting injured while saving someone had spread among the people in such a short time. The injury, they heard, was quite problematic; no wonder Military Doctor Mu had come as well.

After all, they were comrades, and everyone hoped he was fine.

But just now, they were really scared. Even they wouldn’t dare to jump so directly! It could only be said that Military Doctor Mu truly lived up to her name.

"Where’s Youlan?" Mu Lin asked, looking at the soldier.

"Over there, in that tent. I’ll lead you there," the soldier said and started to lead the way.

"Mu Lin, are you alright?" Ye Xiwen immediately examined Mu Lin from head to toe to make sure she was unharmed, letting out a sigh of relief, "You really scared me to death just now." Her heart was still far from calm; such an entrance was unparalleled.

"I’m fine," Mu Lin shook her head, "Take me to see Youlan." That was her real reason for coming here.

After saying this, she walked towards the tent where Ye Xiwen had come from, with Ye Xiwen and the soldier hurrying to follow.

Scared, she had almost forgotten the important matter at hand.

Upon entering the tent, the doctor looked at Mu Lin with slight surprise. Even though he had heard of the Divine Doctor’s reputation and her untraceable age, he hadn’t expected her to be such a young and beautiful woman, and her pregnant belly.

No wonder the others had said it wasn’t convenient for her to come.

Indeed, a pregnant woman was not suited for this place; the conditions here were far too dire. However, they hadn’t expected Mu Lin to appear so quickly; originally thinking it would take at least three hours, they were surprised that she had arrived in just over half an hour.

"Divine Doctor Mu." The doctor nodded in greeting to Mu Lin, who calmly returned the nod and then looked at Jing Youlan, her red lips slightly lifting, "How do you feel?"

"It was agonizing, but now that I see you, sister-in-law, the pain is instantly gone." For some reason, seeing Mu Lin made Jing Youlan’s previously anxious heart suddenly calm down, and he was even able to joke around.

Seeing Jing Youlan like this, Mu Lin’s lips curved in amusement, "It seems you’re not in any trouble at all. Ye Zi was so anxious for me to come over, now I think I should have taken my time."

Lifting the corners of her lips, her smile teasing and playful.

This guy, he needed a lesson.

Watching Mu Lin, Jing Youlan immediately deflated, "Ouch, sister-in-law, it hurts." His comedic demeanor made the doctor and Ye Xiwen laugh helplessly beside him.

Mu Lin glanced at him coolly and then suddenly pressed on his wound, eliciting a sharp intake of breath.

"Sister-in-law... it hurts." It really did hurt! His face fell.

Brother, your sister-in-law is committing murder!

From afar, Lord Jing: Hang in there.

Mu Lin nodded with satisfaction, "It seems to be indeed painful." The people beside him laughed; the doctor suddenly felt that this legendary Mu the Divine Doctor wasn’t so odd after all, it seemed the rumors were somewhat unreliable.

Indeed, after Mu Lin arrived, everything seemed solvable; he truly felt that the anxiety of the people around him lessened.

He extended his hand and touched the pulse, his expression turning serious, and those around him instinctively straightened up, fixating their gaze on Mu Lin; still slightly tense.

At this time, just after the New Year, the weather was indeed a bit cold, Jing Youlan’s wound had been cut open in his clothing, it was uncertain whether the redness was from the cold or the injury.

"Bear with it a bit." Mu Lin spoke softly, and then gently pressed around the wound as if feeling for the position of the steel rebar, along with other conditions inside the wound.

Biting back pain, Jing Youlan endured; it was truly painful.

"How is it?" The doctor was the most anxious.

"It is indeed a bit troubling," Mu Lin’s words made the newly arrived Ji Shubai and others slightly stunned.

Could it be, even Mu Lin was out of options?

Such a thought left everyone feeling rather desperate.

However, Mu Lin’s next words once again raised hope for everyone.

"But it should be no problem," said Mu Lin, to which everyone was speechless, feeling sure Mu Lin was just scaring them on purpose, considering her occasional perverse sense of humor could be quite helpless; Mu Lin looked at Jing Youlan, "Do you trust me?" Her brows and eyes slightly curved, with a hint of a smile.

"I’ve never doubted you," Jing Youlan grinned, "You are my sister-in-law." From the first glance at Mu Lin, they were willingly conquered by her, and the closer they got, the more they admired and trusted her.

"Then I’ll do my best." Mu Lin nodded, but did not promise definitively that there would be no problems, causing a collective tension in everyone’s hearts.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit more intense.

Normally, they would be taking a brief rest now, but they couldn’t help running over here; without seeing Jing Youlan through this, they couldn’t rest easy; even if they went to rest, they wouldn’t be able to sleep, so it was better to wait here.

They were relieved that Mu Lin had arrived so quickly.

Afterward, Mu Lin took out the items she was accustomed to using, retrieving some items from her stock of medicine, some finished products, and other unformulated herbal medicines.

"I need two people to stay here and assist me, the rest should wait outside," Mu Lin said, "The air is too stuffy in here." She felt uncomfortable.

Ji Shubai: "The doctor and I will stay, the rest of you go wait outside."

Without any objection, everyone nodded and then turned to walk outside, looking back with every step.

"Shubai, help me chop these herbs, keep the juice, the more the better," Mu Lin pointed to a few herbs nearby; Ji Shubai nodded, then Mu Lin looked at the doctor, "In a moment, I’m going to pull out these steel rods, and I’ll need you to help me hold his body steady, he can’t move at all, otherwise, I’m afraid it might hurt his nerves." In fact, Mu Lin was indeed worried, this was the reason she hadn’t made promises just now; she trusted her medical skill, but even with excellent medical skill, unexpected incidents were always a concern.

Then, Mu Lin clearly explained the treatment steps and what medicine would be needed at each stage since they needed to cooperate.

More than half an hour had passed, and those waiting outside were pacing back and forth, wanting to peek inside but afraid of disturbing Mu Lin, so they could only anxiously wait outside.

During this half-hour, it was quiet inside, so quiet that not even a whimper of pain was heard, which made the waiting people even more anxious.

And this was the first time the doctor had witnessed a legend of Chinese Medicine; a few herbs, some silver needles, and a couple of bottles of medicinal powder and pills, Mu Lin had resolved an injury that had seemed hopeless to them.

It appeared so simple, yet so complex.

No instruments necessary; Mu Lin’s hands were like an X-ray machine, able to feel and know everything with just a touch.

Astonishing.

The doctor finally understood why people outside had given Mu Lin the high title of Mu the Divine Doctor.

A Divine Doctor, indeed! This level of medical skill, even the expert doctors in their hospital couldn’t achieve it.

If possible, he would love to understand it thoroughly.

"It’s done." Mu Lin casually picked up a wet towel to clean her hands, looking at the should now fixed in place, "After you go back, rest for half a month, don’t touch water, be mindful of your sleeping position, treat your right hand as if it’s useless for this half month; after that, you should recover. Remember my words."

"Will there be any sequelae?" Ji Shubai still couldn’t help but ask.

"Don’t worry," came three light words, "As long as he behaves, I guarantee that his hand won’t affect his ability to become a top-tier sniper; but if he doesn’t listen, even I can’t make any promises to you." She was not doubting her own medical skill.

"Also, don’t forget, I’m still waiting for you at Ying Sun," Ma Liang lifted the corners of his mouth, "Don’t let me and your future captain down."
