The Role of Healers

With a flick of his hand, the needle fell, and the bandages were fully removed.

The perfectly sutured wound left only an extremely faint trace of blood. It was impossible to tell that she had suffered such a severe injury.

After confirming there were no signs of infection, Ye Tian withdrew his gaze, turned to Qin Xuan, and instructed her, "Make sure to disinfect the wound frequently and change the bandages often. Also, don't let Xiao Xin move around too much. The wound is too deep. I'm afraid movement could tear it open again and cause an infection."

Qin Xuan bowed slightly. "Rest assured, Young Master. I'll keep all that in mind."

Then, she subconsciously glanced at Su Xiao Xin beside her.

Only to find that she was already awake, secretly watching her and Young Master Ye Tian.

She smiled warmly. "Xiao Xin, you're awake? Perfect. It'll soon be time for the farm's communal breakfast. I'll bring you some later."

Feeling that she was completely naked, Su Xiao Xin's face flushed with embarrassment. "Mm... mm."

She looked at Ye Tian beside her, two streams of tears sliding from the corners of her eyes.

"...Thank you, Young Master Ye Tian. Thank you for saving me."

When she had awakened last night, Qin Xuan had told her that Ye Tian was the one who had saved her.

Su Xiao Xin had been too moved for words.

The instant Zhou Wu's martial soul had grievously wounded her yesterday, she had practically seen the Grim Reaper beckoning to her.

She had never expected Young Master Ye Tian to pull her back from death's door.

Young Master Ye Tian was truly such a good person...

"It's nothing, just a small effort." Ye Tian waved it off.

Just then, a voice came from the doorway.

"Brother, so you were here."

It was Hu Liena, her voice cheerful. But when she saw Su Xiao Xin on the bed, she felt that smiling was inappropriate and restrained herself.

Instead of going straight to Ye Tian, she walked over to Xiao Xin and asked with concern, "Little sister, how are you feeling?"

"B-Better." Unused to being cared for, Su Xiao Xin replied awkwardly.

"She's shy."

Qin Xuan smiled at Su Xiao Xin, took a glass bottle of medical disinfectant from the side table, and twisted it open.

At the same time, she picked up a snowy-white cotton ball with her right hand, dabbed it in the disinfectant, then came over to Xiao Xin with a smile. "Once I'm done disinfecting you, I'll cover you with a blanket."

Only then did Hu Liena blush slightly. Realizing it belatedly, she stared at Ye Tian with jealousy. "You've seen plenty before, haven't you?"

"Huh?!" Ye Tian was stunned. He lightly tapped Hu Liena on the forehead. "What are you thinking about all day?"

"Ow." Hu Liena cried out in pain, clutching her head as she looked at Ye Tian resentfully.

"I only looked away for a moment, and you two are already fooling around again." Bibi Dong covered her mouth and laughed as she walked in.

Then, Qin Xuan's actions caught her attention, and she asked, "What are you doing?"

"Disinfecting it." Qin Xuan glanced back at Bibi Dong and explained.

Hearing the word "disinfecting," Bibi Dong's delicate brows furrowed slightly.

She asked in confusion, "Was Xiao Xin poisoned yesterday?"

Seeing his sister's puzzled frown, Ye Tian could not help wanting to laugh. "Sister, disinfecting and detoxifying aren't the same concept."

"This kind of disinfection is actually meant to prevent bacterial infection."

He casually pointed around them. "There are many tiny bacteria in the air around us that can't be seen."

Then, as if struck by a realization, he said, "Bacteria can be understood as a kind of parasitic poison."

After hearing Ye Tian's explanation, Bibi Dong touched her forehead and fell into thought.

Hu Liena opened her mouth. She understood every word Ye Tian had said.

Why was it so hard to understand once they were put together?

Seeing that the two of them still did not understand, Ye Tian explained further, "You may know that when an injury is serious, the wound can fester. That is actually caused by bacterial infection.

If it isn't disinfected in time and the bacteria aren't killed, the injured person may need to have a limb amputated or even die within a few days."

Hearing Ye Tian's example, Hu Liena quickly thought of an alley in Spirit City called Old Soldier Lane.

Retired veterans from the Spirit Hall army lived there. Every year near the end of the year, her teacher would visit that alley to see them.

She had gone with her teacher before as well.

As she remembered it, those veterans seemed to have lost their limbs because their battlefield wounds had become infected.

Thinking of this, Hu Liena suddenly looked up at Ye Tian. "So after disinfecting and bandaging a wound, infection can be prevented?"

"Yes." Ye Tian nodded. As expected of Nana Meimei, she understood quickly.

Hu Liena's eyes lit up. "If soldiers injure their legs or feet on the battlefield, can disinfecting and bandaging them prevent amputation?"

"If it's only a wound from blades or swords, amputation can basically be avoided." Ye Tian answered directly without much thought.

Hearing that, Hu Liena looked at her teacher, her eyes shining brightly.

If this medical technique could be brought into the Spirit Hall army—

Then fewer people would lose limbs because of injuries in every battle.

This was practically a heaven-defying innovation!

Ye Tian was amazing!

Bibi Dong returned her gaze with a smile. Without drawing attention, she walked over to Qin Xuan and asked thoughtfully, "Miss Qin Xuan, you aren't a soul master, are you?"

Qin Xuan was somewhat puzzled as to why Bibi Dong would ask that, but she still answered, "That's right. I'm just an ordinary person."

"How long did it take you to learn these medical skills?"

"About two months, I think? I don't remember the details very clearly. At the time, Young Master Ye Tian trained many people. As the trainer, he should know."

Bibi Dong was stunned by those words.

"You... mean you were trained in batches? And you only studied for two months?"

Batch training, combined with such a short training period, meant it could be replicated. That was incredible.

She had originally thought that Ye Tian only possessed exceptional talent in training armies.

She had not expected him to make such a great contribution in medicine as well.

In two months, he could train a qualified healer.

Truly, outstanding people were great no matter what field they entered.

Hearing the somewhat strange question, Qin Xuan gave an awkward smile. "You could put it that way. Actually, every village along the East Sea Coast has healers like me. We can't treat serious illnesses, but injuries, fevers, and colds are easy enough for us to handle."

"Every village has them?" Bibi Dong's surprise was impossible to hide.

"Yes." Qin Xuan smiled again as she answered. Why did she feel like Ye Tian's sister was not really his sister?

Why did she know nothing at all?

As if noticing Qin Xuan's awkwardness, Ye Tian smiled and said, "My sister hasn't returned home for many years, so she's always curious about the huge changes in our hometown."

"So that's how it is." Qin Xuan understood.

Indeed, three years ago, Purple Bamboo Village, where she lived, had still struggled to get enough to eat.

But this year, nearly every household had rebuilt its home. As for food, they simply could not finish it all.

Even on ordinary days, they could eat meat.

All of this had come to Purple Bamboo Village only because of Young Master Ye Tian's arrival.

After a long while, Bibi Dong emerged from her surprise, walked over to Ye Tian, and asked, "Are you still training healers now?"

"They're always being trained. I just don't personally take part anymore. The Healer School is behind my villa."

"If you like this kind of work, Sister, you can go learn there too."

Since his sister was no longer returning to Spirit Hall to work as a maid, she would probably be unable to sit still with her personality.

Healer work was very suitable for women. It was not a bad choice.

"Alright, I'll go." Bibi Dong's smile was radiant.

Ye Tian always gave her unexpected surprises when she least expected them.

The role of healers went without saying. Whether for the Spirit Hall army or ordinary people, they offered enormous benefits.

Both in reputation and practical effect!
