Chapter 135 Modern Medical Supplies Emerge

When they returned from the military camp, they did not bring the archers with them, but instead told them to come to Jinwan Village to report the next day.

On their way back, Wuwei Zhenren kept pestering Ruan Mumu to give him a sniper rifle.

The reason is simple: this thing is just too amazing.

As soon as he learned that this thing could shoot at such a long distance, he wanted to have it.

“Girl, I want to join your sharpshooting team this time too. It’s been a long time since I’ve played such an exciting game,” said Master Wuwei.

"What if you don't team up with your apprentice and he says he won't take care of you in your old age?" Ruan Mumu said to Qiao Tinghao with a grin.

"Hmph, if that brat dares not to support me in my old age, then you can support me in my old age too. His father just said that you are his daughter-in-law," Master Wuwei said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ziyun remarked coolly from the side, "Whether she can become his wife is still uncertain!"

When Doctor Liu heard Liu Ziyun say this, he didn't say anything, but he seemed to sense that his nephew was treating this little girl differently. He thought he would ask her privately another day when he had the chance.

As Qiao Tinghao drove, he said, "Young Master Liu, you don't need to trouble yourself with this."

Then he added, "Master, I was thinking of having you join the sharpshooter team, but I didn't dare to trouble you. Now that you've brought it up yourself, that's perfect."

Ruan Mumu sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off, but she didn't think too much about it. Anyway, Liu Ziyun and Qiao Tinghao usually didn't get along, so she didn't bother to pay attention to his attitude.

However, Wuwei Zhenren's desire to join their sharpshooting team was unexpected for her.

She turned to the back seat and said to Master Wuwei, "Senior, are you really going to join our Sharpshooter Team? Are you serious?"

Master Wuwei nodded affirmatively, then nudged Doctor Liu, who was sitting to the side, with his shoulder and asked, "Doctor Liu, would you like to join in the fun?"

Dr. Liu said calmly, "I won't participate. I have other more important things to do!"

Master Wuwei asked again, still fuming, "What could be so important? We're practically being attacked by the Western Rong right at our doorstep. Is there anything more important than this?"

Ruan Mumu looked at Wuwei Zhenren with amusement, as if he wanted to spit on Doctor Liu.

He explained, “Senior, Dr. Liu really has something very important to do. I gave him some medical books before, including a suturing technique that no one here knows yet.”

If he masters this technique, it will be considered an innovation in the field of medicine.

After hearing Ruan Mumu's explanation, Master Wuwei stopped pressuring him further.

Ruan Mumu suddenly remembered something: she had asked Ruan Haohao to prepare a batch of medical supplies, which were still sitting in the warehouse.

She looked at Dr. Liu and said, "Uncle Liu, there's something I forgot to tell you before. I'll tell you in detail when we get back, and I guarantee it will broaden your horizons."

Qiao Tinghao was a little curious and asked, "Girl, what do you want to tell Uncle Liu?"

"Oh, there's a batch of medical supplies. I don't know how to tell Uncle Liu about it. I'll let him refer to the book to see how to use them. They might come in handy if a war really breaks out," Ruan Mumu said.

Apart from Qiao Tinghao, who knew what Ruan Mumu was talking about, everyone else was completely confused, including Doctor Liu.

"Mumu, are you serious?" Dr. Liu was very excited when he heard that it was medical supplies.

"Uncle Liu, you'll find out then," Ruan Mumu said with a smile.

After an hour, the off-road vehicle returned to Jinwan Village with several people.

When Dr. Liu returned, he repeatedly reminded Ruan Mumu not to forget to bring medical supplies for him to see.

When Chen Donghua saw the group driving back, she pulled Ruan Mumu back to the inner courtyard.

"Mumu, you've been running around outside a lot lately. Today is only the second day since your sister-in-law got married, and you're sneaking out again? People who don't know the situation might think you're unhappy with your sister-in-law," Chen Donghua complained.

Ruan Mumu pulled Chen Donghua's hand and sat her down on the couch, comforting her, "Mother, don't worry, I went with Zhenren and the others. We have very important things to do, so I didn't have time to tell you."

Looking at her increasingly assertive daughter, Chen Donghua said with a hint of helplessness, "Sigh, I'm just worried about you all!"

Ruan Mumu snuggled into Chen Donghua's arms and said coquettishly, "Mom... I'm not a child anymore, please stop nagging me, or people will laugh at me!"

Chen Donghua stroked Ruan Mumu's soft hair and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, Mother understands!"

In truth, Ruan Mumu looked at this woman who had suffered half her life and couldn't bear to let her worry so much about her son anymore. But facing the impending war, she thought that she should protect her for as long as possible.

"Mother, I'm going to Doctor Liu's house later. I have some things to discuss with him. Do you think we should prepare some good food for him to take with him?" Ruan Mumu asked Chen Donghua.

When Chen Donghua heard Ruan Mumu's question, she laughed awkwardly and said, "Why do you ask that, child?"

In fact, Ruan Mumu's question was also a kind of test.

She had previously noticed that when Dr. Liu occasionally saw Chen Donghua, there was a hint of something unsettling in his eyes.

When Chen Donghua is unsure of what to do at home, the first person she thinks of is Doctor Liu.

This can be considered a form of dependence without us even realizing it.

Ruan Mumu felt that Chen Donghua, having been a widow for so many years, should start a new life.

"Mother, let's talk about this another day. I'm going out now, otherwise it will be too late." Ruan Mumu thought that this matter couldn't be rushed, so she changed the subject.

Chen Donghua smiled helplessly at her daughter, who was always busy like a spinning top, and urged, "Go on, let your third brother go with you!"

Ruan Mumu replied, "Okay."

After saying that, he walked out of Chen Donghua's courtyard.

After returning to her courtyard, Ruan Mumu gathered some medical supplies and medicines, then went to find Qiao Tinghao to accompany her to see Doctor Liu.

Previously, Ruan Mumu had asked Ruan Haohao to prepare some surgical instruments such as scalpels, medical books, and various suturing tools.

During this period, Dr. Liu was almost always busy studying this area of ​​knowledge.

Ruan Mumu also heard that Doctor Liu recently contacted three retired imperial physicians and invited them to Jinwan Village to study suturing techniques together, with the aim of benefiting the people.

Even when he was a prince, Doctor Liu had no interest in the throne; he only wanted to study medicine. Unfortunately, he was persecuted.

When Ruan Mumu and Qiao Tinghao arrived at Dr. Liu's house on their motorcycle, carrying a large box of supplies, they saw him and three other elderly doctors analyzing postoperative care for suture procedures.

"Oh dear, girl, I didn't expect you to come so late. Come and greet the three elders." Doctor Liu warmly took off his gloves when he saw Ruan Mumu and Qiao Tinghao walk in.

The three old doctors were surprised to see that the girl that Doctor Liu kept talking about was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a delicate and pretty appearance, and extremely beautiful.

"Girl, Third Young Master, this is Lord Lu, this is Lord Yang, and this is Lord Lin," Doctor Liu introduced to Ruan Mumu and the other girl in order.

Ruan Mumu and Qiao Tinghao bowed to the three old doctors in turn, saying, "Greetings, Lord Lu, Lord Yang, and Lord Lin."

These three elderly physicians, who had been highly respected throughout their lives, believed their medical skills had reached their peak. However, after coming to Dr. Liu's clinic and witnessing the wonders of suturing firsthand, they truly understood the meaning of "learning has no end."

At this moment, Dr. Liu stared curiously at the tightly covered box and asked, "Girl, are all the medical supplies you mentioned packed in here?"

Ruan Mumu did not answer his question directly, but silently opened the box.

First, she took out a large box filled with antibiotic capsules.

He explained to Doctor Liu and the other imperial physicians, "These medicines have a significant effect on the healing of inflammatory wounds."

Then, she took out a medical book from the box, along with a bottle of medicine, and some syringes and other items. Ruan Mumu explained, "I don't know much about these medical things, so I can only rely on Uncle Liu and the other adults to study them."

Doctor Liu and several other senior doctors looked at these things they had never seen before, their hearts filled with curiosity and doubt.

They took the items and examined them carefully.

Dr. Liu first picked up the medical book, opened the pages, and began to read it carefully.

In fact, he found it very difficult to read these books.

Because it uses simplified characters, for these ancient people who were used to traditional characters, simplified characters were like missing an arm or a leg.

Some simplified Chinese characters cannot be guessed.

During this period, they often used the Xinhua Dictionary provided by Ruan Mumu to study, and as a result, they now know quite a few simplified Chinese characters.

This book provides a detailed introduction to how to administer injections, the effects of injections, and the methods of using various medications.

As he looked around, he exclaimed, "This is truly eye-opening! This knowledge is so important for us."

Other imperial physicians also gathered around to study the medical book together.

They discovered that many of the treatment methods recorded in the book were very novel and different from traditional Chinese medicine theories, but had unique therapeutic effects.

They looked at Ruan Mumu with shining eyes, hoping she would explain something.

"Don't look at me like that. I really don't know anything about medicine. If you ask me about military campaigns or something, I can easily teach you some methods, but I can't do that with medicine."

"Because I—I really don't know how either!" Ruan Mumu said, shrugging.

"Alright! Let's figure it out ourselves!" Doctor Liu said, looking at the group of old doctors.

Fortunately, Ruan Haohao was very thoughtful and prepared at least ten copies of each medical book, enough for each of them to have one.

“Uncle Liu, gentlemen, there’s no rush to study this. Let me show you some more medicines; I don’t know if they’ll be of any use to your research,” Ruan Mumu said.

Seeing the group reluctantly put down their medical books and supplies made me chuckle.

He took out several special medicines for treating tumors, cardiovascular diseases, and nervous system diseases from the cardboard box and solemnly handed them to Dr. Liu.

"These medicines are very rare. You can study them when you have time! I'll find more books on this subject for you later," Ruan Mumu instructed.

"It seems we're really getting old. Researching these things takes a lot of time and energy. We should take on a few more students," said Physician Lin.

Physician Lu chimed in, "Yes, I never imagined I'd have the opportunity to access so much new knowledge in so many fields at my age. If I were twenty years younger, I reckon I could have become a medical master, hahaha..."

They all burst into laughter.

Dr. Liu suddenly remembered that during their recent training in suturing surgery, problems often arose due to lighting conditions.

After thinking for a moment, he still tried to ask, "Girl, could you bring me a few more lights? Sometimes when I'm doing surgery, I feel like I can't see clearly."

"Hehe, Uncle Liu, look at me, I was too busy and forgot. But don't worry, you might not even need it then." After saying that, Ruan Mumu pulled Qiao Tinghao away.

Tonight, Qiao Tinghao felt like he was being treated like he was invisible; he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

He leaned close to Ruan Mumu's ear and said, "As a modern person, I don't really understand those things. Can they understand them?"

Ruan Mumu said with a smile, "It's just like when you see those atomic bombs or something. If you could actually get your hands on one, you'd probably want to study it carefully."

As the two watched the group enthusiastically discussing these novel medical techniques, their eyes gleamed with anticipation. They also hoped that these advanced medical achievements would shine brightly in ancient times and benefit people.

Doctor Liu and several imperial physicians could hardly pay attention to Ruan Mumu and the others.

They couldn't wait to start studying the medicines, syringes, and other items again.

Dr. Liu carefully opened the cap of a bottle labeled penicillin, smelled the medicine, then dipped his finger in the medicine and tasted it on his tongue.

After tasting it, he frowned and said, "The ingredients of this potion are very complex, and further analysis is needed to determine its efficacy."

Next, they turned their attention to the syringes and needles.

Based on the information in the book, they learned that the injected medication could greatly aid their recovery after surgery.

These instruments are well-made and ingeniously designed, and the book also explains how to inject medicine into the human body.

The imperial physicians were eager to try assembling these instruments so they could understand how to use them.

Through these studies, the imperial physicians gained a deeper understanding of modern medicine.

They realized that while medicine as they understood it had a long history and profound foundation, it could not be complacent and needed to continuously learn new knowledge and technologies in order to better serve patients.

"It seems I've wasted most of my life. I still feel like I'm quite ignorant. Haha..." Physician Lu couldn't help but sigh.
