Chapter 14: Confusing life

When Hu Feng finished eating, he left the bowl and went away. He didn’t speak another word.

Bai Zhi looked at the drifting back of Hu Feng with a strange look, then whispered: “Hu bo, why he doesn’t like to talk?”

Hu Changlin sighed and said: “Regarding this matter, Hu Feng is quite pitiful. I was cutting some woods in the mountain three years ago. When I was about to go back home, I found him in the dark ditched at the foot of the mountain. At that time, he was seriously injured. Especially, on his head part, a lot of blood was oozing out. When I saw he was still alive, I brought him to a doctor. But, when he woke up, he couldn’t remember anything, even his name. So, he got stuck in here and lived with me for three years now.”

“In fact, if you will look at him closely, you will notice that he is very different to poor people like us. He likes to be clean, he is literate, and he knows martial arts. He must not be an ordinary person. He just forgot who he is, so he couldn’t go back.”

Bai Zhi is a doctor. A famous doctor of the most prestigious hospital in the 23rd century. She mastered the Chinese medicine and Western medicine before the age of 18. She can both use silver needles and medicines to heal the patients.

So after listening to Hu Changlin’s words, her first analysis was that, because Hu Feng was seriously wounded on his head, he had a lot of congestion on his brain, and these blood clots were oppressing his brain nerves. Some people lose their eyes sight or memory in this kind of situation.

This kind of disease was not unusual in the 23rd century. And it’s quite easy to treat. The surgeon only need cut open the skull and then remove the congestion in the brain. This surgery is not a major operation. And statistically, the success rate was 90%.

Bai Zhi has performed this operation not less than 100 times, and her success rate is 100%.

Unfortunately, she was now living in the ancient time of a different world. There was no hospital apparatuses and instruments. And so, she can’t perform that surgery.

At this point in time, the rain outside has stopped, and the sun was still up in the sky. Daytime during the summer season was long. So, if she guessed it right, the time was 6 o’clock in the evening. But, there were still at least, an hour before the sky turns dark.

Zhao Lan asked Bai Zhi to take the quilt in the Hu Family main house and brought them to the cabin in the backyard. Although the cabin was small, it was enough for two people. There was no bed inside, but it was filed with sundries. After spreading some hay, it can be temporarily used as a bed.

Bai Zhi looked at Zhao Lan’s dirty clothes. Her clothes have some blood and mud. So, she stood up and close the door: “Niang, you change your clothes into a clean one. It’s still early, so I’ll wash it for you.”

Zhao Lan hesitated: “I’m afraid this hand cannot move, so how can I change my clothes?”

But, how could this kind of simple work be difficult to Bai Zhi? So, she volunteered: “I’ll help you. I can guarantee that it won’t hurt.”

She is a doctor. Naturally, she knows what to do. She helps Zhao Lan to change her dirty clothes. The blood on her mother clothes must be cleaned as soon as possible. The longer the blood stay, the harder it gets to remove. Not to mention, in this era where detergent soap doesn’t exist.

She also changed her dress into a clean one. And put the dirty clothes into a tub. Then, she went to the riverside, where the previous Bai Zhi remembered.

When she came to the riverside of the village, there were many people gathering. The villagers were talking to one after another. However, they didn’t know what exactly to say.

But suddenly, a voice that can almost scratch the sky sounded: “Found her, found her, Yingzi was found.”

Bai Zhi squeezed herself into the crowd and saw Hu Feng was carrying a young girl of the same age as her in the shore. The two of them were soaking wet. The young girl’s pale arms were hanging down, and she seemed to be unconscious.
