Chapter 149 Medical Camp
Wang Wenzhou publicly whipped Sheng Liang for two reasons.
Firstly, it was to bring them together. Girls, you know, love sweet words. A boy, beaten like that, still acting like he'd marry you even if it meant death. Most girls would be moved; it's hard not to be touched.
Another reason was to prepare for issuing the "duel order." Some people would certainly enjoy duels; some simply love fighting. They might even start a fight just because they glanced at someone in a crowd. This is no joke. But some people don't like fighting. Since future offenses will be punished with caning, those who don't want to duel will have to carefully consider whether to face official caning or engage in a fight.
After the flogging was completed, Wang Wenzhou rushed to Hanshan School.
At this time, Hanshan Academy was transformed into a temporary hospital, where the wounded from the riot received treatment. Wang Wenzhou had already planned to build a hospital, but he still had many things to finish, so the construction of the hospital was not yet on the agenda.
When the injured and their families saw Wang Wenzhou walk in, they all kowtowed and thanked him.
"Wang Qingtian is wholeheartedly devoted to the people!"
"On behalf of my wife, thank you, Judge Wang!"
"Wang Qingtian has the heart of a bodhisattva!"
The common people are so simple and honest. As long as the officials do a little bit of good deeds, the people will be grateful.
Wang Wenzhou waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Everyone, get up! You... you..." Wang Wenzhou pointed to an injured person with a wounded arm and said, "You're a patient, why are you kneeling? Lie down in bed and rest. Everyone, get up quickly, or I'll kneel down too."
Upon hearing Wang Qingtian's words, the people quickly stood up, their faces still showing gratitude.
"Old Li! You're here too?" Wang Wenzhou rushed to Li Mu'en's bedside as soon as he saw him.
Li Mu'en was wrapped up like a mummy from head to toe. He had truly fought desperately on the day of the riot. He had more than a dozen knife wounds, but thankfully, none of them were very deep. A few "quasi-doctors" had just come over and stitched up his wounds.
"Lord Wang, please forgive me for being unable to get out of bed to thank you," Li Mu'en said with a smile.
“Old Li went too far! If it weren’t for you guys risking your lives to save me yesterday, I would have been torn to pieces by those thugs. By the way, what about the others?” Wang Wenzhou asked.
“Old Zhang and the others’ injuries aren’t serious. They went home to rest after the medicine was applied and the wounds were bandaged,” Li Mu’en replied.
Wang Wenzhou patted Li Mu'en on the shoulder and teased, "Old Li, take good care of your injury. Once you're healed, I'll treat you to drinks. Don't worry, there will definitely be female police officers with you. If you like, you can even bring a few female doctors along."
Li Mu'en blushed. Lord Wang was good in every way, except that he was often unserious.
"You get some rest, I'm going to look around somewhere else. Goodbye!" Wang Wenzhou said goodbye to Li Mu'en.
Wang Wenzhou came here, of course, to increase his reputation.
The medical team members had only received a few hours of training and were all novices. Fortunately, a day had passed, and most of the seriously wounded had died. Bandaging and changing dressings for the lightly wounded was still a simple matter.
Wang Wenzhou saw two female doctors performing surgery on a boy who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, so he went over to see how skilled they were.
"Wang Qingtian! Thank you so much for saving my son!" The injured man's father knelt down and kowtowed.
Wang Wenzhou quickly helped him up and asked, "What is your surname, brother?"
"My name is Guo Jinglun." Guo Jinglun pointed to the child on the hospital bed and said, "That's my son, Guo Yufeng."
Guo Yufeng was covered in sweat, a wooden stick between his teeth, and his face contorted in pain. He glanced at Wang Wenzhou and nodded to him.
“My lord…” Peach Blossom said, turning around.
Wang Wenzhou quickly interrupted her, saying, "Taohua, you are a doctor now. You need to concentrate on the surgery and not get distracted."
"Okay!" Peach Blossom nodded and got down to work.
Guo Yufeng had been stabbed in the abdomen, his intestines were severed. Yesterday, he only received simple bandaging, and even his father thought his son was beyond saving and was preparing to make his funeral arrangements. But this morning, Guo Yufeng woke up.
Upon learning that Lord Wang had ordered the treatment of the wounded at Hanshan School, Guo Jinglun quickly carried his son over.
This was also the first time Tao Hua had her intestines sewn up. She had only heard Wang Wenzhou say during his "lecture" that anything on a person's body could be sewn up.
Peach Blossom cut the silk thread, leaned close to Wang Wenzhou's ear, and whispered, "My lord, can he be saved this way?"
Wang Wenzhou nodded and replied, "Don't worry, you did a great job. As long as the wound doesn't get infected, he should be able to survive."
Peach Blossom said, "The wound has been treated. If there are any problems, go to the medical room to find a doctor. We still need to go elsewhere for surgery. Lord Wang, we'll be leaving now."
"Thank you, Wang Qingtian! Thank you, doctor!" Guo Jinglun quickly expressed his gratitude.
Wang Wenzhou waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, it's what I should do. Go find a doctor to prescribe some blood-tonifying Chinese medicine for the injured. Don't worry, all the medical care here is funded by the government."
"Thank you!" Guo Jinglun was moved to tears.
"Quick! Hurry up and thank Wang Qingtian!" Guo Yufeng said, pointing to his son on the hospital bed.
Guo Yufeng removed the wooden stick from his mouth, opened it with difficulty, and said, "Thank you, Judge Wang, for saving my life."
"You're welcome! Young man, you're very strong. You can endure such pain. You're destined for great things!" Wang Wenzhou praised.
Guo Jinglun didn't know what to say, and kept muttering, "Thank you, Wang Qingtian."
Wang Wenzhou patted Guo Jinglun on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Alright, Lao Guo, don't be so polite. You take care of your son, I'll go check on things elsewhere. By the way, where's your wife?"
Wang Wenzhou asked casually, but Guo Jinglun's eyes reddened and tears streamed down his face.
"My wife was murdered yesterday," Guo Jinglun said, wiping away tears with his sleeve.
"I'm so sorry! Please accept my condolences!" Wang Wenzhou said quickly.
"Huh?" Guo Jinglun was surprised. Why would Wang Qingtian apologize? It wasn't Wang Qingtian's fault; it was all those damned bandits' fault.
"Old Guo, don't be too sad. The deceased are gone, and you still have your injured son to take care of. Be strong. By the way, I have some news for you in advance: the government will provide some compensation to the victims of this riot. After all, both I and the government bear responsibility for the improper handling of the situation," Wang Wenzhou said, patting Guo Jinglun on the shoulder.
"Yes, yes!" Guo Jinglun wiped away his tears and sighed inwardly. Wang Qingtian was truly dedicated to the people and always thought of them in everything he did.
Although Guo Yufeng was in a lot of pain, he felt his blood boiling. His father was right. Wang Qingtian cared about the people. He wanted to become a person like Wang Qingtian in the future.
Wang Wenzhou's tour of the school brought tears to the eyes of the people, and the noble image of Wang Qingtian was once again elevated in the hearts of the people of Hanshan.
