“How about if I went with you?”
“No need. I need someone to look after this place. I’ll come after I buy something.” How could she play any tricks if he followed her?
” Alright, be careful. We’ll wait for you here.” Xiao Yunjing said, nodding.
Gu Qingli walked straight to the clothing store. When she reached the first one, she quickly looked through it. Then, she went to the second one. When Xiao Yunjing couldn’t see her, she turned and entered a medicine store. After entering, she took out a ginseng she had prepared in her space.
The shopkeeper did not cheat and gave her a hundred and twenty silver notes for the hundred-year-old ginseng.
Gu Qingli took the bank notes and went to another clothing shop.
She bought a dark blue robe and two cotton undergarments for Xiao Yunjing. She also bought cotton robes for old man Xiao and Mrs. Jiang, which cost her ten taels of silver.
“Little lady, don’t you want to choose one for yourself?” The shopkeeper asked Gu Qingli when she was paying.
“No, I have clothes to wear.”
“Hehe, you little lady is a filial and good person.” The shopkeeper couldn’t help but praise. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer wives like this little lady. Who didn’t spend money on themselves?
Gu Qingli paid with a smile and left the boutique with a big bag.
“Plop.”
She had just taken a few steps out of the clothing shop when a woman walked up to her and fell to the ground.
Gu Qingli took a few steps back subconsciously. She immediately thought of the word ‘scam’.
As expected, the moment she retreated, the passersby immediately stopped. A man pointed at her and said, “This lady, you bumped into someone and still want to run?”
Gu Qingli didn’t run away, or the man would have chased after her.
“Why didn’t you help her and see if she hit anything?” An aunt also stopped and scolded her.
“Yeah, it’s a cold day. Hurry up and help her up.”
Someone said that, and someone squatted down and looked at the woman lying on the ground.
The people who saw the woman shook their heads and stood to the side, clearly indicating that she had severely knocked into someone.
Even the shopkeeper of the boutique came out to take a look when he heard the commotion outside. He saw that the young lady who had just bought clothes in her shop had gotten into trouble.
This kind of thing was not uncommon in the city. There was a group of people in the city who came out to cheat people who were dressed decently.
The shopkeeper shook his head and entered the shop. He wanted to help but couldn’t.
Gu Qingli fixed her eyes on the woman on the ground. The woman was about the same age as her and wearing ordinary clothes. However, her brows were furrowed, and her face was abnormally red. Her breath was unstable, and she had a high fever.
However, the woman was lying on the ground with her right hand on her abdomen.
There was either an injury there or abdominal pain.
Gu Qingli ignored everyone’s advice and was about to pick up her bag to go and carry the woman when Xiao Yunjing came.
“Li-er, what’s wrong?” Because she hadn’t returned for a long time, Xiao Yunjing asked boss Xiao to look after the ox-cart while he went to look for her. As soon as he arrived, he saw some people surrounding her and pointing at her. He quickly squeezed in and saw the woman lying on the ground in pain.
“What’s your relationship to that little lady?”
The man who had spoken first asked Xiao Yunjing, who glanced at him and said, “I’m her husband.”
“You came at the right time. Your wife ran into someone and wanted to run away irresponsibly. Since you’re here, why don’t you take her to see her quickly?”
“Li ‘er, you bumped into her? ”
Gu Qingli shook her head.
“Then let’s go. Don’t worry about it.” As he said that, he was about to hold her hand.
The woman’s hand that was covering her abdomen had a thick callus. He was a martial arts practitioner and knew that it was a hand that had been holding a weapon for a long time.
“Save me!” At this moment, the woman lying on the ground let out a weak cry for help.
Gu Qingli didn’t plan to leave. She stuffed the bag into Xiao Yunjing’s hands. “Take it; I’ll carry her to the clinic.”
“But, Li ‘er, you …”
“Let’s talk later; saving people is more important.” Gu Qingli picked up the woman. As soon as she picked her up, she smelled blood. She frowned and walked toward the clinic where she sold ginseng.
Xiao Yunjing had no choice but to follow her to the clinic.
The doctor saw that it was the young lady who had just come to sell ginseng and was carrying an unconscious woman. He hurriedly went up and asked, “Little lady, what’s this?”
“Doctor, please take a look at her.”
“Alright, put her in the inner room.” The doctor led Gu Qingli into the inner room.
Gu Qingli put the woman on the bed and asked the doctor to treat her.
The doctor quickly took the woman’s pulse.
“Little lady, lift her clothes and look at her stomach,” the doctor said after a few dozen breaths.
Gu Qingli nodded. She smelled blood on the woman’s body, so she must have been injured in the abdomen.
The doctor left after he finished speaking.
Gu Qingli unbuttoned the woman’s clothes. There was indeed a cloth wrapped around her abdomen, and blood was oozing out.
Gu Qingli frowned. It was infected. No wonder she had a fever.
If she weren’t treated in time, this woman wouldn’t be able to live past today.
Gu Qingli pulled up her clothes, covered her with a blanket, and went out to talk to the doctor.
The doctor said, “Little lady, there is no problem with this old man’s treatment, but it will cost a lot. You have to stay and take care of her.”
Gu Qingli looked at Xiao Yunjing, who sighed and said, “Li ‘er, you can do whatever you want.”
He also did not know why Li ‘er wanted to save a woman with a problem.
But if Li ‘er liked it, could he not let her?
Gu Qingli thought for a moment. “Why don’t you and big brother buy the things and send them back? Then come here to pick me up tomorrow.”
Of course, she also noticed that the woman differed from the rest. As a doctor, she couldn’t just leave her in the lurch and ask for help.
She was also very curious that the woman didn’t come to the medical Hall directly for help but instead asked her for help.
So she stayed to see what the woman was up to.
She couldn’t be rich, as her clothes did not match that of a rich person.
“Alright then,” Xiao Yunjing said.
Then, he took out ten silver notes from his pocket, but Gu Qingli didn’t take them. “Keep it; I have silver on me.”
“Alright, then.” Xiao Yunjing hesitated, then picked up his bag and left.
After Xiao Yunjing left, Gu Qingli took out ten silver taels and gave them to the doctor. The doctor then went to prescribe medicine for the apprentice.
Gu Qingli was the one who changed the medicine for the woman.
The doctor was afraid that she didn’t know how to do it, so he told her in detail how to do it.
Gu Qingli listened carefully.
Gu Qingli curled her lips. If the wound were treated like this, it wouldn’t improve in ten days or half a month.
He didn’t even do the most basic disinfection to squeeze out the pus and blood. What use would it be if she just sprinkled some anti-inflammatory and suppurative powder?
Fortunately, she was the only one who changed the woman’s medicine. When treating the woman’s wound, she used the spirit spring water. She also added the spirit spring water to the medicinal soup. If nothing unexpected happened, the woman would wake up the following day.
