章 43: Herbals (ShuangAi's story)
The news of Hua MuTan makes chaos in the house of gamble becomes a reason for ShuangAi want to visit Li Mansion. She is sincerely concern about TanTan and Prince Li. Beside she has planned to visit HuaMuTan again after their meeting with Princess XiXi last time.
In her home, a medicine store, she plans to gather some herbals for HuaMuTan. ShuangAi goes to the herbal room, where she meets ChungMei, her father's second disciple after her. She is busy comparing words in medicine books with some herbal leaves on her hand. When ChungMei concentrates about one thing, she is rarely noticing her surrounding. ShuangAi smiles to see her like that and doesn't want to bother her so she just goes to the medicine drawers to look for what she needs. But she can't find some herbals so she need to ask ChungMei eventually.
"ChungMei?" As ShuangAi has thought, ChungMei doesn't respond at all.
ShuangAi comes closer to her and touch her shoulder softly.
"ChungMei!" ShuangAi calls once more time.
"WAH!!" In reflex ChungMei almost throwing the books and leaves which on her hands, and it quite surprises ShuangAi also.
Finally, ChungMei notices ShuangAi, with regretful she says,
"I..am sorry, Shuang Ai Jie....I didn't hear you just now..."
ShuangAi chuckles,
"You are too deep in your thought like usual, ChungMei..."
ChungMei sighs,
"Yeah...I just wondering if these leaves can be combined together or not..."
ShuangAi smiles, she knows how ChungMei loves to do research and learn medicine so much,
"Study is good but too much study can also harming your health...take a break for a while..."
ChungMei stands,
"I know Shuang Ai Jie...thanks for your advice... by the way, do you need something?"
"That's right, I need some herbals but I can't find them at the place" ShuangAi tells the list of the herbals, ChungMei listens her fully, then explains regretfully,
"I am sorry ShuangAi Jie, this morning the herbal you need has used up, nothing left..I used the last pieces of them....."
"As I thought..." ShuangAi sighs, it makes ChungMei feels guilty,
"Do you need it now?...maybe I can go to the back hill and find some herbal leaves for you right away..." But ShuangAi doesn't want to bother her from her study.
"No...its okay...I'll go there to get some herbal leaves I need, beside I also need to go out too..."
"Where are you going to?" ChungMei asks, wondering also for what ShuangAi want to take some herbals, "Do you want to heal someone with brain problem? The list of herbal you make just now all for the brain and nerves"
ShuangAi is surprised a little bit that ChungMei can figure out it from the list she told. ChungMei is really talented, no wonder Physician Huang accepted her to be his disciple.
"You are so smart, ChungMei... I want to give these herbals to MuTanJie, hoping my prescription can help her to regain her memories back"
Now its ChungMei's turn to be surprised,
"Are you sure about it, ShuangAi Jie? I know that you had told me that she had changed after losing her memories...But isn't it better just to let her being in her recent condition? You said she had changed much....much better than her wicked old self!"
What ChungMei said has a good point, but ShuangAi feels its too bad for HuaMuTan for not remembering her feeling toward Prince Li.
"I hope she can remember her feeling to Li Ge...so they can be happy together... Well, i wont bother you anymore...I'll go now" ShuangAi feels its time to go, so he excuses herself.
ChungMei just sighs seeing ShuangAi walks away, 'ShuangAi Jie is too naive...what a poor Prince Li...' ChungMei is one of many people who witnessed how Prince Li boldly shows his feeling to ShuangAi. Many times ChungMei had tried advising ShuangAi to accept Prince Li's feeling and being ignored by ShuangAi. But now for ChungMei, its not more important than what she researches so she continue drawn in looking to the medicine bqooks and herbal leaves she hold.
There is a back hill not too far from their medicine making place, where people usually takes some herbal medicine's materials over here. The place is familiar to ShuangAi so she doesn't have difficulty to find any herbals she needs.
After she takes as many as she needs, ShuangAi goes to a river to clean her hands.
At the river, after splashing some water onto her hands, suddenly she notices something big floating to the river side. ShuangAi is shocked to find out that it is a body. As a physician, she rushes to check either the body is still alive or not.
When ShuangAi comes closer to the body, she only sees the back part so she turns the body and realizes it is a man, unconscious with a dark red coloured spot around his belly. Clearly that this man has been stabbed by a short dagger. She checks if the man still showing a sign of living and yes, he still has a pulse and breathe although very weak.
'He has swallowing too many water...'
ShuangAi looks around, there is no body around that she can ask help but she can't abandon him here.
'Hm..if only just now I asked ChungMei to accompany me here..." ShuangAi sighs, then she remembers there is an old cabin around, not too far where she usually came with Prince Li when they were little, 'I hope its still there...'
Although ShuangAi used to help her father to carry the patients at her medicine place but its still difficult for ShuangAi to do it alone.
There is no time to consider it, ShuangAi immediately does the first aid action. She makes sure the water can be pumped out from the body, so she pumps a little bit hard to the man's under chest. There is a reaction of the body, he vomits some water and coughing, he is also gets conscious, but not fully awaken..he opens his eyes a little bit and then closes them again.
ShuangAi pats his face a little bit hard to make him keep conscious, she shouts to him,
"Mister, you have to keep conscious so I can help you...Come on..." Noticing the man can hear her and showing a movement, Shuang Ai keeps awaking him,
"Stay with me...urgh..." ShuangAi tries to make him stand and then step by step she guides the man of the way to the cabin.
For almost half of hour, ShuangAi finally manages to bring the man into the cabin. Right away, she puts the man carefully on the old wooden bed.
The man seems has using his last energy to walk also, so now he is fully fainted.
ShuangAi knows first thing she needs to do is treat the wound on the man's stomach. ShuangAi looks to her cloth bundle where she keeps the herbals for HuaMuTan. She needs to use some of them to treat the wound. ShuangAi sighs,
"Oh well, helping people is more important now. I can gives the herbals for MuTan Jie next time..."
After she decides it, then she starts the treatment by opening the man's top cloth to check the wound.
