The auntie walked into the room with a basin. “Miss, the water is ready.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded at the auntie. “Auntie, do you have new cotton cloth at home?”
The auntie was usually very stingy, but when she saw the blood on the man’s clothes, she agreed without hesitation. Saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda. “Yes, I’ll get it for you.”
Chu Qingzhi went around to look for medicinal herbs to stop the bleeding and inflammation.
After finding the herbs, she immediately returned to the auntie’s house.
The auntie handed the cotton to Chu Qingzhi. “Miss, do you think this much cotton cloth is enough? If it’s not enough, 1’11 go to the neighbor’s house to borrow more.”
Chu Qingzhi took a look. The cotton cloth was about three feet long. “It’s enough. Auntie, I’ll bandage his wound now. Can you help me brew the herbs?”
The auntie agreed readily. “Alright, leave the brewing of the herbs to me.”
The man was frowning from the pain. When Chu Qingzhi entered the room, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chu Qingzhi reached out and gently pressed her palm on the man’s chest, injecting spiritual energy into his body. She also directed the spiritual energy towards his two broken ribs, allowing them to grow back together.
Then, she redirected her spiritual energy towards his lung that had been pierced by the ribs to help him recover.
After doing this, the man’s life was out of danger. As for the rest, Chu Qingzhi did not plan to use spiritual energy to treat him anymore. She wanted him to recover on his own so that others would not be suspicious.
Chu Qingzhi cut the man’s broken clothes and pants and wiped the blood with hot water.
Then, she used a saw to saw eight wooden planks that were five inches wide and one foot long. She fixed the man’s broken limbs on it.
After dealing with the wound on his hands and feet, she began to deal with the other wounds on his body.
As soon as she finished bandaging, the auntie came in with a bowl. “Miss, the medicine is ready.”
Chu Qingzhi took the bowl of medicine. “Auntie, thank you.”
The auntie smiled and waved her hand. “It’s a good thing to save someone. Miss, you don’t have to thank me.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. Then, she walked to the bed, propped up the man’s upper body with one hand, and fed the medicine to the man with the other.
The auntie asked in surprise, “Miss, are you also a doctor?”
Chu Qingzhi said, “Yes, if you need a doctor in the future, you can come to the
Chu Village to look for me.”
The auntie nodded repeatedly. “Definitely I will.”
Chu Qingzhi placed the man back on the bed and checked his pulse. He was fine now. Then, she walked out of the room to treat the horse.
When the horse saw Chu Qingzhi, its eyes, which were about to close, immediately widened. It stared at Chu Qingzhi without blinking, and its eyes slowly filled with tears.
Chu Qingzhi squatted down and touched the horse’s head. “Don’t cry, don’t cry. I’ll save you.”
The horse rubbed its head against Chu Qingzhi’s palm.
When the auntie saw this scene, she clicked her tongue in surprise. “This horse is intelligent. It seems to know what you are saying.”
Chu Qingzhi touched the horse’s head and got up to look for herbs.
To her surprise, just as she reached the entrance of the auntie’s courtyard, she saw a man and a horse coming from the village entrance.
The horse was tall and mighty.
The person on the horse was even more so. He was dressed in blue and had a silver crown. His face was chiseled and handsome, and his eyes were like an eagle’s, sharp and energetic. He was tall and had a powerful aura.
When the person on the horse saw Chu Qingzhi, the corners of his lips curled up.
The man and horse quickly arrived in front of Chu Qingzhi.
Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Jinghong, why are you here?”
Tang Jinghong said in a low voice, “Your mother was worried about you and asked me to come and see how you are doing.”
Chu Qingzhi said, “Something unexpected happened. Otherwise, 1 would have gone back long ago.” Then, she explained the matter to Tang Jinghong.
Tang Jinghong tied the horse to the tree trunk. “I’ll go with you to find the herbs.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”
The auntie looked at the two of them from behind and could not help but praise them for being a perfect match. She was originally thinking about introducing her son to Chu Qingzhi, but now, she gave up on this thought.
Tang Jinghong handed the water to Chu Qingzhi. “Drink some water. Your face is red from the sun. Your mother’s heart will ache when she sees this.”
Chu Qingzhi was thirsty. She had long finished the water she brought. She took the water and drank it. As she drank, she glanced at Tang Jinghong. He was quite considerate.
After Chu Qingzhi applied medicine on the horse’s injuries, the fire in the mountains was finally extinguished.
The villager said, “Village Chief, the fire is finally extinguished.”
The village chief wiped his sweat and finally felt relieved. “Miss Chu is smart. Otherwise, our village, even the nearby villages, wouldn’t be burned down.”
The villager said excitedly, “Let’s go back and thank Miss Chu properly later.”
“Okay.” The village chief asked four villagers to stay to guard this place to continue putting out the smoldering fire. Then, he brought the rest back to the village.
Chu Qingzhi was leading a few villagers to dig for water under the banana tree. This water vein was buried a little deeper. They only saw water after digging for a meter and a half. However, once they reached the water vein, water gurgled out.
The villagers looked at the water and felt even more that Chu Qingzhi was a fairy who had descended to the mortal world to help them. Their gratitude for Chu Qingzhi immediately rose to the level of faith.
Village Chief Zhou quickly walked to Chu Qingzhi and said gratefully, “Miss Chu, thank you for saving us. Otherwise, we would have been homeless.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Village Chief, you’re too polite. You guys worked hard to save yourselves.”
Chu Qingzhi continued, “Village Chief, I need your help with something.”
Village Chief Zhou said, “Miss, feel free to tell us. We will definitely do our best.”
Chu Qingzhi said, “I want to borrow two carts, one for an injured person and one for an injured horse.”
Village Chief Zhou agreed without hesitation. “No problem. 1’11 arrange it immediately.”
There was no need for Chu Qingzhi to do anything else..
