The White-haired Queen

Chapter 131 The troops are divided into two groups

Just as Jing Li and Wen Lanyue were silent, Duanmu Yi returned to them and said, "Envoy Wen, Deputy Envoy Jing, the child's dislocation has been properly treated and there will be no sequelae in the future. Please rest assured."

Wen Lanyue nodded slightly to show her agreement and said softly, "Thank you."

At this moment, Ruirui suddenly shouted loudly: "Big brother, the shepherd uncle seems to have something to say."

Wen Lanyue turned to look at Duanmu Yi and said, "Go and have a look. He has been quite cooperative along the way. Check on his injuries as well."

Duanmu Yi saluted and walked towards the shepherd. As a doctor, he instinctively asked with concern: "Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"

The shepherd hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "I...I...actually I want to ask about the child's situation."

Duanmu Yi was stunned when he heard this. It was beyond his expectation that a prisoner would care about other things. Perhaps, as the ancients said: man is good at the beginning. In this way, this shepherd may not be the kind of person who is extremely evil and unforgivable. No wonder Envoy Wen said that as long as he confessed everything truthfully, he could be released.

Duanmu Yi said in a steady tone: "The child's dislocation problem has been properly handled. Don't worry, there shouldn't be any major problems. But the old man's condition is not optimistic. It's obviously caused by overwork. If he doesn't take good care of his body, I'm afraid he will be bedridden soon."

The shepherd asked anxiously, "Did you tell him to rest more?"

Duanmu Yi looked at the anxious expression on the shepherd's face, and did not change the rhythm of his speech. He still answered slowly: "Of course I told him. But the old man said that the child's mother died of dystocia, and the child's father wanted to go out to earn some money so that the child could continue to study for a few more days. Now there are only grandfather and grandson left in their family. How can there be extra time to rest!"

The shepherd became even more anxious after hearing this, and asked quickly: "Did you prescribe medicine for him?"

Duanmu Yi slowly shook his head and said softly, "Not yet."

The shepherd's voice instantly rose an octave, and his tone became a little stiff, and he asked loudly: "Then why don't you prescribe the medicine or dispense it?"

Duanmu Yi was not angry at the shepherd's slightly angry questioning. He just looked at him calmly and asked softly, "Is he someone to you?"

After hearing this, the shepherd murmured thoughtfully: "Yes, who is he to me? He and I are not related at all, why should I care about him so much..."

Duanmu Yi saw that the shepherd was no longer talking to him, so he walked up to Wen Lanyue and said, "He only has some minor skin injuries, nothing serious."

Wen Lanyue nodded slightly to show that she understood, and then said, "Thank you for your help. Get on the horse and let's continue on our way."

Duanmu Yi waved his hand and stopped her: "Wait a minute." Then he described the old man's current condition in detail.

Wen Lanyue thought for a moment and responded, "Then in your opinion, how should we deal with this situation more appropriately?"

Duanmu Yi suggested: "Why don't I write a prescription for the old man to take care of his body."

Wen Lanyue nodded in agreement: "Well, that's great."

However, Duanmu Yi suddenly frowned and said with some concern: "But even if we give the elderly a prescription, they probably won't go to get the medicine."

At this time, Jing Li on the side interrupted and said, "Why not give the prescription to that child?"

Duanmu Yi shook his head and sighed, "But I'm afraid the child doesn't have enough money to buy medicine."

Jing Li smiled and replied easily: "This is easy. I can give you some silver and you can just pass it to him."

Duanmu Yi heard this and showed gratitude on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Deputy Envoy Jing."

Duanmu Yi quickly took out a pen and paper from his bag on the back of his horse, wrote down a detailed prescription, and after writing it, he carefully reviewed it to make sure that every medicine was correct.

Seeing this, Jing Li threw out a silver ingot without hesitation and urged, "Go quickly and come back quickly!"

Duanmu Yi did not dare to delay and immediately rushed in the direction of the old man. However, just when he was about to reach the old man's door, he saw a frightening scene from afar - the old man's body was shaking, as if he had lost his support, and fell straight to the ground. The child next to him was panicked and hurriedly supported his grandfather. Then, a desolate and sad cry rang out all around: "Grandpa! Grandpa! What's wrong with you?"

Duanmu Yi's heart tightened, he took a deep breath, and ran faster again. In the blink of an eye, he came to the old man, and after his feet landed steadily, he immediately reached out to touch the old man's pulse, trying to find out his condition.

Duanmu Yi was shocked. He couldn't feel a pulse! He couldn't help but widen his eyes, and a bad feeling surged in his heart. Then, he reached out and felt the old man's breath, but there was no movement. He opened the old man's eyelids again and saw that the pupils were gradually dilating and the vital signs were disappearing rapidly. At this moment, a pool of bright red blood slowly flowed out from under the old man's body. Duanmu Yi looked closely and saw that a thick and long firewood stick had pierced the old man's body. It was obvious that there was no way to save him...

Duanmu Yi stood up with trembling legs, and waved his hands desperately in the direction of Wen Lanyue. The thrilling scene of the old man suddenly falling to the ground just now happened to be seen by them from a distance, so everyone could understand the meaning of Duanmu Yi's waving at this moment.

Jing Li turned to look at Wen Lanyue and asked softly: "Envoy Wen, in your opinion, should we leave two people behind to help with the aftermath? Or..."

Wen Lanyue was silent for a moment, her eyes swept over everyone, and then she answered decisively: "Make a mark along the way, and leave two people to help." As soon as she finished speaking, she selected two team members from the team given by the little emperor, and asked: "Who is the leader of your group?"

A silent but handsome and burly man walked out of the queue. He said in a steady and firm voice: "It is me, Lin Zhiyu."

Wen Lanyue nodded slightly to show her approval, and then said, "Okay, wait a moment. Your team will be responsible for leaving a mark for Duanmu Yi and the others to ensure that they can return to the team smoothly. This is a vital task and needs to be treated with caution."

Lin Zhiyu nodded seriously and responded, "I understand. Please rest assured, sir, I will do my best and live up to my mission." His eyes revealed a determination and confidence, as if he was ready to deal with all kinds of difficulties.
