Chapter 26: Divine Doctor Hua Zhen

  Hua Zhen was originally a medical officer with a low position but exceptional medical skills. He studied under the imperial physician and came from a famous family, but due to bad luck, he could only reluctantly serve as a prison doctor with a humble status.

  However, he worked hard without complaint because in Hua Zhen's view, as long as he could save people and realize his ideals, it didn't matter what position he was in.

  Unfortunately, however, something bad happened to this good person. Hua Zhen was discovered by Di Yu's subordinates while picking herbs and ended up being tied up as a hostage.

  In this world, who would care about the life and death of a prison doctor, so naturally no one came to ransom him. Having no other choice, Hua Zhen could only be locked in a small black room every day, relying on a small bowl of thin porridge to sustain her life.

  Actually, Huazhen had already lost hope and lamented his bad luck. However, after Ye Xuan took down Di Yu's Slope, Ye Xuan saw that no one came to redeem Huazhen, and considering Huazhen's exceptional medical skills, he decided to make him the military doctor of the Ye family army, also in charge of managing the wounded soldiers' camp. Huazhen did not disappoint Ye Xuan's expectations and completed his medical tasks perfectly within a few days. However, before Ye Xuan could even rejoice, his "troubles" began...

  Hua Zhen had been working under Ye Xuan for some time, responsible for treating and caring for the wounded in the team. She was already familiar with Ye Xuan's way of doing things, so she performed diligently without thinking of leaving his team.

  Ye Xuan was very satisfied with Hua Zhen's attitude, so he naturally respected her even more and also valued her as a person. However, Ye Xuan was deeply afraid that after future battles, there would be too many wounded soldiers, and he knew that Hua Zhen's side might not have enough manpower. Therefore, he selected several dozen relatively quick-witted people from his own troops to serve under Hua Zhen, and these people were also referred to by Ye Xuan as medical guards. Hua Zhen was naturally appointed as the leader of the medical team.

  Hua Zhen was still very satisfied with Ye Xuan's arrangements. In the past, when he worked for the government office, he had a set of exquisite medical skills that were not valued, and when he was kidnapped, the government didn't even care about his life or death. However, after coming to the Ye family army, not only did he receive enough respect, but Ye Xuan also gave him a platform where he could showcase his skills, which moved him deeply, giving him an urge to repay Ye Xuan with his life.

  Later on, when chatting with Ye Xuan, after listening to some of Ye Xuan's suggestions on medical rescue, Hua Zhen was even more shocked and sighed that Ye Xuan was indeed a godlike person, because in certain medical aspects, the famous Hua Zhen thought he couldn't surpass Ye Xuan.

  For example, all the cloth strips used to bandage wounds must be boiled and then exposed to the scorching sun before being used to dress wounds. Wounds must be cleaned with lukewarm water. All instruments used to treat wounds must also be sterilized by high-temperature steaming and stored in a disinfected box for use. There are also some analogies, such as letting a frightened person talk to protect their internal organs, letting a grieving person cry, speaking slowly, softly, and gently, stroking the head can calm the mind, and stroking the abdomen can expel toxins.

  Stroking the arm can calm down. Stroking the foot can dispel coldness. For those who do not have enough food, at each meal, holding each mouthful for 1 minute can kill bacteria (if the food is unclean), maximize the conversion of food into energy, and make the body adapt to various foods. If possible, it's best to hug people. The first mouthful of water, gargle, spit out. If there's not enough water, drink a little less with the first mouthful... and so on, all sorts of medical knowledge...

  Every time he listened, he was shocked and stunned by Hua Zhen. One day, it finally caught Hua Zhen's attention, so he opened his mouth and asked: "General Ye! Forgive me for being presumptuous, I have been following the general for a period of time, but I really can't figure out what you used to do before. How did you know so many things? Is the Ye family also a medical family?"

  Yè Xuān immediately coughed awkwardly, then silently scolded himself for being too talkative. He said: "Hua Shen Yi, don't you still not understand Ye's family background?"

  Actually, Hua Zhen had just finished playing with this issue and scolded herself for being stupid, because Ye Xuan's background was not only well-known to the Ye family army but also to all the ordinary people in southern Hebei province. Some people even turned his stories into nursery rhymes to tell their children, so asking this question is really a stupid thing to do.

  Taking advantage of Hua Zhen's unpreparedness, Ye Xuan made a swift escape by pretending to urinate.

  However, after that, Ye Xuan's troubles came. Hua Zhen often ran to Ye Xuan to discuss medical problems without any reason. At first, Ye Xuan was very happy to communicate with him, but as time passed, Ye Xuan felt something was wrong. Who knew this guy had a particularly strong willpower and would come every day, chatting until the early morning of the next day before letting go of Ye Xuan.

  So from then on, Ye Xuan would flee at the sight of Hua Zhen every time they met, making excuses to avoid her, but the two kept running into each other again.

  Hua Zhen smiled and looked at Ye Xuan, saying: "General, you've come to see the wounded? Please sit down quickly. I have some good tea here. How about we drink and chat?"

  Ye Xuan's face changed immediately, and he quickly reacted, shaking his head and pretending to be regretful: "Oh! It's Dr. Hua, ah, I was really looking forward to chatting with the doctor, but unfortunately, I have some urgent business, so I won't keep Dr. Hua company for long! Farewell!"

  Ye Xuan Sheng feared that Hua Zhen would continue speaking and keep him there, so as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately used the excuse of needing to urinate to slip away quickly.

  Watching Huazhen hurry away, Huazhen revealed a difficult-to-understand smile, shook her head helplessly, shrugged and said: "General Ye is indeed a strange person! Can't see through him at all!"

  The medical soldiers beside them had stopped their work, and were watching their leader, Hua Zhen, with admiration. Perhaps the invincible General Ye was like a god descending to earth, fearless of heaven or earth. Even if the sky were to fall, he would remain calm and composed. It was indeed an interesting thing to see someone who was normally unflappable turn pale at the sight of his own head...

  Hua Zhen looked at everyone and saw that they were all stunned, so she couldn't help but shout in dissatisfaction: "What are you all standing there for? Can't you all hurry up and do your work?"

  Watching these few subordinates scurry away to busy themselves according to his orders, Hua Zhen shook her head and chuckled softly: "Hey! The feeling of being in charge is really not bad!"

  Hua Zhen finished speaking and began to habitually shake her head, then started busying herself with meticulous care...
