Li Wanwan couldn’t help feeling a little worried about Gu Jiao after she was done playing the guqin.
She actually heard the noise just now, but the girl on the other side of the wall wouldn't let her stop, so she had to toughen her scalp and kept playing.
By the time she finished playing, there was no more movement over there.
She stood up, looked at the frosty wall and asked anxiously, "Miss, are you okay?"
"You played two notes wrong."
What responded to her was a calm and cold voice.
Li Wanwan suddenly froze.
Are you sure that big noise just now wasn’t from a fight? To still notice that I played some notes wrong even in the middle of all that, what kind of genius are you?
"Then, then I'll play it again." Li Wanwan said softly.
"En." Gu Jiao flicked her wide sleeves and lay back on the rattan chair, enjoying herself in the sunshine.
This time, Li Wanwan raised her focus to a hundred and twenty percent and finally didn't play any notes wrong.
At noon, the patient who had been labeled with black cloth strip regained consciousness.
He was an illegal worker, which Gu Changqing had verified yesterday.
In this accident, most of the injured were illegal workers hired by the yamen of the Ministry of Works. They all came from poor families, some didn’t even have family.
However, the rest of the illegal workers had at least one friend to visit them, but this person had been in the medical hall for two days with no one looking for him.
He lay alone in the medical bed with tenacious and stubborn vitality.
His burns were so extensive that it needed to be cleaned with saline daily, which was as painful as scraping the bones and gouging out the flesh.
Physician Song had just applied the medicine again, and he didn’t know if his hands were too inexperienced, but people woke up from the pain. He felt ashamed to death.
"I’ll take care of things here. You go and see other patients." Gu Jiao entered the room with her small medicine chest.
"Oh, okay!" Physician Song wiped a cold sweat and went out of the room.
Labeling patients with black cloth strips, Gu Jiao had done this to so many people. This was a helpless choice, but a necessary one. The survival rate of these patients was practically zero, and treating them would lead to the death of a large number of critically ill patients who could still be saved.
Of all the patients she had ever judged to be of no rescue value, this was the only one who survived.
"How do you feel? Can you hear me?" Gu Jiao put the small medicine chest on the bedside table, took out a small flashlight from it, and checked his eyes.
His pupils were responding well.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but his throat felt too hoarse to make a sound.
Gu Jiao understood this and took a tongue depressor to look at his throat, "There is slight edema and inflammation. With some medicine, it’s not a problem, and you will be able to speak again in a few days. Did you hear me? Blink if you can."
The man blinked his eyes.
He ran out of anti-inflammatory medicines and there was also the bag of infusion fluid for electrolytes replenishment. Gu Jiao changed the infusion fluid and adjusted the titer.
"After this bag is emptied, that’s it for today. I'll come back later and pull out the needle for you." Gu Jiao said, packed up the small medicine chest and intended to leave.
The man's mood suddenly became agitated.
Gu Jiao held his wrist. His injuries were so grave, and now with a rapid heartbeat, it was easy for something to go wrong.
Gu Jiao gently soothed him, "Don't get excited, your injury can be cured, and our medical hall will do our best to treat you… Don't worry about the medical expenses, the yamen will pay for all the fees."
However, he remained very agitated.
Gu Jiao thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to ask about someone? If yes, blink, if not, close your eyes."
The man blinked his eyes.
Gu Jiao continued to inquire, "Your companion? A craftsman hired by the yamen?"
The man shut his eyes.
Gu Jiao: "Family?"
The man hesitated momentarily before blinking.
Gu Jiao said, "Do you want to ask if any family members have visited you?"
The man closed his eyes again.
He had a family, but he wasn’t asking whether his family had visited him or not. He was worried about his family.
"Is it someone at home?" Gu Jiao asked.
The man blinked heavily.
The man was unable to speak, so Gu Jiao had to bring a map of the capital. It was just that Gu Jiao was not familiar with the capital, and she couldn’t understand which place he was referring to for a long time.
Gu Changqing came to the medical hall today to meet the craftsmen who had just woken up in order to investigate the accident. After hearing about Gu Jiao's situation, he came over and said, "Let me ask."
The map of the capital was only detailed down to the streets, not to every alley and every house. However, Gu Changqing patrolled the capital all the year round, and he was familiar with every corner of the capital. Otherwise, if it was other people, they really wouldn’t be able to find where the man lived.
"I see. I'll inform your family." Gu Changqing returned the map to Gu Jiao and went out of the medical hall.
Gu Changqing found the man's house in the dirtiest and poorest suburb of the capital. It could no longer be called a house, but a shack that could barely shelter people from the wind and rain.
The shack was in a complete mess and there was not a soul in sight, but there was a muffled, rapid breathing from a broken cabinet which seemed to have been picked up outside.
Gu Changqing subconsciously pressed the sword at his waist. He walked towards the cabinet and carefully opened the cabinet door, only to see a little girl with long hair.
The little girl sat inside the cabinet, her face dirty and her clothes tattered. She held a rusty knife in both hands as she looked at Gu Changqing with horror.
Gu Changqing gave her a deep look and held out his hand, "Jiang Shi asked me to pick you up."
……
Gu Changqing brought the little girl back to the medical hall.
Jiang Shi was the name of the man registered in the yamen. He was an illegal worker, and the possibility of them being an illegal resident was also very high. This name might be an alias.
The little girl was Jiang Shi's younger sister.
She was thin and small. She looked only five years old.
However, after checking her teeth, Gu Jiao found that she was already changing teeth. She had already grown two permanent teeth, as well as a molar, and even the lateral incisors had begun to sprout faintly.
Lateral incisors usually emerged at the age of eight to nine, which meant she should be at least eight years old.
Gu Jiao also gave her a physical examination. She had no other problems except malnutrition.
It was just that she was too timid to talk to anyone.
Second Owner picked a good-tempered, good-looking and amiable servant girl of the medical hall and ordered her to take the little girl for a bath and a meal. He also dug his own pocket and had her buy some new clothes.
Second Owner also arranged a separate room for her, but she didn’t want to stay there and instead wanted to be with her brother.
"Little San, moved a bamboo bed here." Second Owner commanded.
"Yes!" Little San moved in a bamboo bed, put it next to Jiang Shi's bed and spread a thick mattress, setting up a temporary bed for the little girl.
The little girl sat on the bed and got up from time to time to see her big brother.
Her brother looked at her too, his eyes filled with gentleness.
Gu Jiao couldn't help but recall the words she heard in the organization when she was an agent in her previous life—— don't lose your heart to anyone, don't get concerned about anything, because once people have worries, they will start to fear death.
The little girl was leaning against the guardrail of the medical bed, holding her brother's hand.
She knew that her brother was hurt, but she didn’t know what kind of danger her brother had experienced, nor how much willpower it took her brother to climb back from the palace of Yama.
He couldn’t die because he was worried about her.Raz P.'s Thoughts
