175 Location on the Map

Su Binglan looked at the doctor and immediately thought of the doctor who was present when she saved Chen Zhuzhu.

When the apprentice said his master was attending to other patients, she had already guessed it was Doctor Wu. She said, “You must be Doctor Wu. Also, I’m not a miracle doctor. I came from Su Teng Village.”

Doctor Wu was still in disbelief because the young lady before him possessed an extraordinary temperament. He wondered how she could be a country bumpkin.

He knew the young lady would not be willing to talk about medical skills and that miracle doctors had strange tempers. Still, he understood that he needed to be polite.

He asked, “Then may I know why you’ve come to Hundred Herbs Hospital?”

Su Binglan got straight to the point and said, “I need to ask you about the hospital’s medicinal herbs.”

Doctor Wu’s expression changed upon hearing the young lady’s words. “You’ve heard about the robbery too, haven’t you, miss?”

Su Binglan nodded and answered, “Yes, I have.”

Doctor Wu sighed and said, “I thought so. Everyone has heard about it.”

Su Binglan said, “Who delivered the herbs to the capital, and what about the person in charge of them?”

Doctor Wu replied worriedly, “To tell you the truth, we don’t know either. We’re investigating the situation right now. I-It’s complicated. Maybe someone is pressuring or dealing with my family, or maybe it’s just a coincidence.”

He would not say such things if it were anyone else. After all, the Hundred Herbs Hospital was the Wu family’s property.

Doctor Wu was a descendant of the Wu family’s side branch, so he had to study and learn to identify medicinal herbs at a young age. Since he excelled at medicine, the Wus sent him to the medical center.

He would not have said those things to anyone else, but since he believed the young lady was likely to be the one from the Legendary Medicine Valley, he felt he must tell her the truth.

“B-But I’m not a member of the main branch of the Wu family, so I’m not too sure about the details.”

Su Binglan nodded. “Thank you, Doctor Wu. Can you tell me where exactly the delivery person was supposed to send the medicinal herbs?”

She knew that Doctor Wu had told her everything he knew.

“Please wait a moment, miss. I’ll go get a map.” Doctor Wu hurriedly brought out a map and marked the location. “It’s right here. There’s a small road at the foot of the forest at the north peak.

“The robbery occurred five days ago, and the Wu family has been paying attention to the news since then, but we still don’t know where the people involved took the herbs and the delivery person to.

“Still, there are no corpses at the scene, so the delivery person will likely be alive. The main Wu family members said the culprits are likely trying to pressure them into agreeing to their conditions.” Doctor Wu was very sincere as he explained the situation.

Su Binglan nodded as an idea appeared in her mind. “Thank you, Doctor Wu,” she said.

“You’re too kind, miss.” Doctor Wu wanted to form a good relationship with the young lady. He knew he had to befriend such a capable person.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the hospital.

“D-Doctor Wu! Please, check on my grandson!” An elderly lady carried a child in her arms and hurriedly ran into the hospital.

Even though she was an elderly lady, she was strong and could run extremely fast. The people behind her followed anxiously as Doctor Wu’s expression changed when he saw this person.

Some even recognized the elderly lady. “Isn’t that the old madam of the county magistrate’s family?”

“What happened to your grandson, Old Madam Feng?” Doctor Wu asked.

Old Madam Feng did not care about anything else at the moment, even her status. She said sobbingly, “My grandson fell into a pond. After rescuing him, a doctor said my grandson wasn’t breathing.

“Doctor Wu, I know your medical skills are the best, and you can save him. Weren’t you the one who saved the little girl who nearly died on the street?”

Old Madam Feng’s face was pale, and she spoke anxiously as her hands trembled, holding her grandson in her arms.

Then a young woman ran in from behind. “M-Mother! Doctor Wu, please save my son! I beg you!” The woman knelt and started kowtowing.

Old Madam Feng’s words shocked Doctor Wu. He wondered when he had saved a little girl who died on the street. That credit did not belong to him but to the young lady beside him.

Doctor Wu also wondered who had spread that rumor. Indeed, he was at the scene but was not the person who saved the little girl.

Nonetheless, he could not worry about the details at this moment. He hurriedly squatted down to examine Old Madam Feng’s grandson’s condition. Immediately after, his face turned pale. “Old Madam Feng, your grandson…”

Old Madam Feng became misty-eyed and trembled as she looked at Doctor Wu, afraid of hearing bad news. Doctor Wu understood Old Madam Feng’s expression and could not bear to see it.

However, he thought of Su Binglan and turned to look at her as if he had found a lifesaver. “Miss, take a look.”

Su Binglan had just removed the acupuncture needles from her pocket dimension because she felt she could save the elderly lady’s grandson. She squatted down and injected a few needles into the little boy.

Old Madam Feng simply held her grandson, and before she could react, Su Binglan had already completed her procedure. Su Binglan said to Doctor Wu, “Come and handle the first aid measures.”

“O-Oh, okay.” Doctor Wu did not even think before answering Su Binglan. He only followed her instructions.

“Lay the boy down and remove his clothing so he can breathe better,” as Su Binglan spoke, Doctor Wu instinctively followed her instructions. Still, Old Madam Feng was hugging her grandson tightly and was still in a daze.

Doctor Wu hurriedly said, “Old Madam Feng, this is the young lady who saved that little girl who collapsed on the street. Please hurry and do as she says.”

Old Madam Feng immediately returned to her senses. “S-Sure. Tell me what I need to do.” She was also highly anxious.

Su Binglan said, “Place your grandson on the ground, so he’s laying flat. Remove his shirt, and do it quickly.”

She sounded authoritative when she spoke, causing one to listen to her involuntarily, and Old Madam Feng could not help but follow the young lady’s instructions.

Then Su Binglan said to Doctor Wu, “Quickly, lean the boy’s head back and ensure he’s breathing properly by performing chest compressions. Like this.” She demonstrated for a moment as Doctor Wu followed suit. “Now, pinch his nostrils, take a deep breath, aim at his mouth, and exhale.”

Doctor Wu simply did as the young lady said.

Su Binglan looked at Doctor Wu. “That’s right. Continue doing that. Now loosen your hand pinching his nostrils, and let him breathe freely.”

…

Under Su Binglan’s guidance, Doctor Wu continued doing as she told him to. After a long while, the little boy coughed.
