Chapter 29: Another little knowledge
Maybe something was on her mind, and Wen Wan seemed unhappy all day long.
After the medicine was boiled, the doctor poured out the medicine and handed the medicine bowl to her naturally.
As Zhou Cai's "family member", delivering medicine is naturally what Wen Wan should do.
She walked to the door of the wing carrying the medicine bowl and saw Gao Ling who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Gao Ling turned around and saw her, with an expression that was hard to distinguish between happiness and anger.
"I heard that you rescued him?"
Wen Wan walked to the bed, held the medicine bowl and blew on it before responding.
Gao Ling pulled up a chair and sat down next to her, "Thank you."
His solemn attitude made Wen Wan couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
Gao Ling said in a deep voice: "You don't understand how important he is to us people. If something happens to him..."
Shen Yu had stabilized the border at Daduan Dynasty. If something happened to Shen Yu, the Mobei people would definitely come with their troops to kill him. By then, all life would be devastated and many innocent lives would be wasted.
Therefore, Gao Ling was sincere in his gratitude.
"Oh." Wen Wan pursed her lips, "You're welcome."
Gao Ling nodded, "Anyway, I, Gao Ling, owe you a favor. If you ever need me in the future, I will definitely help you."
"Uh..." Wen Wan lowered her head and pondered for a moment, seeming to be hesitating.
Gao Ling is a good person, and he can tell at a glance that she wants something from him, "Miss Xiaowan, tell me what you have to say."
Wen Wan: "I know, he is still unconscious, and I shouldn't mention this in exchange for a favor, but it is also very important to me. So..."
"It doesn't matter, just say it." Gao Ling said.
Wen Wan finally spoke bravely, "As you know, I am the concubine of a merchant family. Although I was not willing to be kidnapped by bandits, it has already happened. If I return to that family, I will be a woman." No matter how I explain it, I’m afraid no one will believe it.”
Gao Ling understood how important a woman's reputation was in this world.
She was kidnapped by bandits. In her husband's eyes, she might have been tainted by the bandits.
Especially wealthy families value this even more, so if she goes back, she will probably be sent to a nunnery to spend the rest of her life.
Gao Ling frowned and asked: "You don't want to go back, so you want to be a runaway concubine?"
"Going back is a dead end, so I shamelessly asked Brother Gao for help."
Wen Wan met his gaze and said seriously: "Since Brother Gao is the richest man in the border town, and he can easily mobilize the guards of the border town, he must have extraordinary means. If you give me an identity to survive, there will definitely be a way, right?"

She wanted a new identity to avoid the General's Mansion and the Zhao family.
In the Duan Dynasty, forging identity documents was a serious crime.
She was taking a risk by making this request.
Wen Wan didn't dare to place her hope entirely on people's gratitude, so she also put forward an attractive condition.
"Although I don't know what you want to find in the ancient tomb, but since that thing is so important to you, then I promise to help you find it. In exchange, how about you help me find a new identity?"
To be honest, Wen Wan's negotiation skills are better than many smart businessmen he has seen.
Gao Ling couldn't help but think that if she were a man, she would be a business partner he would be happy to make.
However, even so, he did not agree immediately, but looked steadily at the unconscious person on the bed.
"It's not that I don't agree, but...the conditions you put forward will only make sense if he wakes up."
Gao Ling said slowly: "Although the thing is important, if he is gone, it will be useless if he finds it. Not to mention whether you will stay or leave..." After a pause, Gao Ling shook his head, "Anyway, wait until he wakes up. Come and talk.”
Seeing his firm attitude, Wen Wan could only respond in disappointment.

Night fell, and only a weak copper oil lamp remained in the room, still flickering with a dim yellow light.
Wen Wan was lying on the footrest beside the bed. The thin quilt on her shoulders fell to the ground at some point. She was sleeping so deeply that she didn't even notice.
A slight cough woke her up from her sleep.
She yawned and opened her eyes, and saw Achai's face flushed, as if he was satiated, with a struggling expression on his face.
Wen Wan raised her hand and touched his forehead. It was indeed frighteningly hot.
Postoperative high fever is very dangerous in modern medical conditions. This situation indicates that he is likely to have postoperative infection.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a narrow escape from death.
Wen Wan got up and called the doctor and Gao Ling.
After seeing it, the doctor was at his wits' end and could only use some symptomatic medicine. As for the effect, he was not sure at all.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I'll just leave it to fate," the doctor said with emotion, leaving only these words.
When Wen Wan heard this, her face turned pale at first, and then she was silent for a long time.
She groped with her hands in her arms, but after hesitating for a long time, she still didn't take out the things in her arms.
Gao Ling on the side was so frightened that he slumped down on the chair, his eyes were empty, and he was completely afraid to accept this reality.
Half an hour later, Shen Yu's body temperature became higher and higher, and he completely passed out. His face changed from red at first to pale as it is now.
After taking his pulse, the old doctor looked at the two of them with regret.
"Madam, I am really helpless. Your husband, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
The word "death" was hard to say.
Wen Wan was so frightened that she swayed and asked tremblingly: "Are you really helpless?"
"Hey, in this situation, even if the Great Luo Jinxian comes, I'm afraid it will be the same. An injury of this degree is extremely dangerous in itself, and now that I have a high fever, there is really nothing I can do. I have been practicing medicine for so many years, and it has reached this level. No one has ever survived..."
The old doctor was still explaining, Wen Wan reached into her arms and took out a small porcelain bottle.
Before he could figure out what was going on, Wen Wan strode to the bedside, opened Shen Yu's mouth, and poured the small pills in the porcelain bottle into his mouth.
"What are you doing?" The old doctor asked with his eyes wide open: "What did you give him to eat and take medicine randomly? If something happens, I will not be responsible."
Wen Wan waved her hand, "Well, I don't want you to be responsible. In fact... I also know a little bit about medical skills. You really have no choice but me to try."
Gao Ling on the side raised his eyebrows and interjected suspiciously, "Do you know something about it again?"
The doctor asked Wen Wan in surprise, "Are you a doctor too?"
"It doesn't count." Wen Wan twitched the corner of her mouth in anger.
The doctor raised his voice in shock, "You are not a doctor, so you used to treat patients?"
"No, I have only treated injuries for small animals. Is this considered a... veterinarian?"
She was telling the truth.
It took her several months to repeatedly treat injured animals before she combined modern theory and ancient technology to purify such a small bottle of allicin pills.
In ancient times, there were no antibiotics, and infection was almost a dead end. The only thing that could be easily extracted was allicin.
