Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 1210 Ningguang Needs a Good Rest

On the Death Star, Ningguang, who had been rescued, was placed in Captain Beidou's cabin.

Seeing that Ningguang remained unconscious due to poisoning, Beidou discussed the matter with Yelan, and then Yelan went to ask Baishu to come and take a look.

The reason we didn't let Beidou go to invite her was because we were afraid she would cause trouble.

Although Ke Qing is currently hospitalized in Bubulu, it doesn't mean Bai Shu can't go out; he has to go out to make house calls every day.

On Bai Shu's way to make house calls, Ye Lan intercepted him halfway.

"Doctor Bai Shu, I have an urgent matter to ask you!" Ye Lan appeared behind Bai Shu and said in a low voice.

Bai Shu stopped and, seeing it was Ye Lan, adjusted his glasses and asked, "Miss Ye Lan? What's wrong?"

"There's no time to explain!" Without waiting for a reply, Ye Lan grabbed Bai Shu's arm and headed towards Gu Yun Pavilion.

Bai Shu was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. She didn't struggle, but just smiled helplessly.

"It seems you planned to 'kidnap' me all along. Fine, I'll go with you then."

The two quickly returned to the Death Star in a small boat.

After boarding the ship, Ye Lan led Bai Shu towards the captain's cabin while whispering instructions:

"Dr. Bai Shu, a doctor with a benevolent heart, once you enter the captain's cabin, whatever you see, do not overthink it or spread it around. Just focus on treating Lady Ningguang."

Bai Shu, carrying his medicine box, waved his hand upon hearing this and calmly said, "Miss Ye Lan, please don't worry."

"I've been practicing medicine for so many years, what haven't I seen? I know not to ask what I shouldn't ask, and not to say what I shouldn't say."

As they spoke, the two had already reached the door of the captain's cabin.

Ye Lan gently pushed open the door and stepped aside to let Bai Shu in.

As Bai Shu entered the room, his gaze unconsciously swept over the bed. When he saw Ning Guang lying unconscious on the bed, he couldn't help but pause for a moment.

There were rumors circulating that Ningguang had been rescued from the General Affairs Department prison, and he was skeptical at first, but now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he knows that the rumors are true.

"Ning Guang?"

As soon as Bai Shu entered the captain's cabin, Bei Dou, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly stood up and quickly went to greet him.

She grabbed Bai Shu's hands and pleaded, "Dr. Bai, you've finally come! Doctors have a compassionate heart, please, you must save Ningguang!"

"Yelan and I are in Liyue Harbor right now. Apart from you, we don't trust any of the other doctors. Who knows if those people will turn around and tip off the Thousand Rock Army, selling Ningguang for the reward money!"

The usually generous Beidou has lost its former carefree attitude.

She was terrified. She was afraid that Ningguang, whom she had finally managed to rescue, would suffer a delay in treatment because they couldn't find a trustworthy doctor, and that Ningguang might die.

Bai Shu was taken aback by Bei Dou's sudden action, but did not show much surprise.

Having practiced medicine for many years and seen countless patients and their families, he naturally understood Beidou's feelings at that moment.

He gently withdrew his hand from her grasp, then placed the medicine box on the bedside table. As he opened the box, he calmly explained:

“I understand Captain Beidou’s concerns. The situation in Liyue Harbor is chaotic right now, and people’s hearts are hard to predict. It’s right to be cautious.”

"But don't worry, now that I'm here, I won't abandon Lady Ningguang."

He paused, glancing at Ningguang on the bed.

"Actually, I had already secretly gone to give Lady Ningguang a free medical consultation once while she was imprisoned in the General Affairs Department's cell."

"If acupuncture hadn't been used to suppress the spread of the toxins in time, that girl Hu Tao would probably have already taken over the funeral arrangements for Lord Ningguang's body."

Upon hearing this, Beidou realized that Baishu had secretly helped Ningguang once before.

A look of guilt instantly appeared on her face. She quickly clasped her hands in a fist and bowed to Bai Shu, apologizing sincerely.

"I'm so sorry, Dr. Bai! I was too anxious and too cautious. I offended you just now. Please don't take it to heart!"

"No need for further words." Bai Shu waved his hand, his gaze already fixed on Ning Guang's wrist, his tone becoming serious.

"Now is not the time to discuss these minor details. The important thing is to prevent Lady Ningguang's treatment from being delayed. I need to take Lady Ningguang's pulse now. Please keep quiet and do not disturb her."

Beidou quickly responded, quietly taking two steps back to stand next to Yelan, even deliberately softening his breathing.

Ye Lan patted her on the shoulder, signaling her to relax.

Bai Zhu moved a stool over, sat down by the bed, and gently placed his right index, middle, and ring fingers on Ning Guang's wrist.

After about a minute or two, Bai Shu slowly withdrew his hand, opened his eyes, and suddenly gasped.

"Um……"

Beidou's heart was in her throat. The panic she had been suppressing surged up again. She took two steps forward and asked, "

"How is she? Dr. Bai, Ningguang, this pampered, sickly woman... is there any hope for her?"

Seeing Ningguang lying motionless on the bed, Beidou had long been uneasy. At this moment, Baishu's silence seemed to her even more like a sign of impending doom.

Bai Shu withdrew his hand from Ning Guang's forehead, turned around, and asked Bei Dou, "Think carefully, from the time you rescued Ning Guang until now, has she shown any signs of waking up?"

"For example, twitching a finger, fluttering an eyelid, or making a sound?"

Beidou immediately shook his head, a hint of sadness on his face, and his tone became low.

"She hasn't woken up. She's been in a daze the whole time, not even moving her eyelashes. Last night when I was watching over her, I even called her name several times close to her ear, but she didn't respond."

After listening, Bai Shu's gaze fell on Ning Guang's somewhat gaunt cheeks, which were clearly obvious signs of not eating for a long time.

"Can she swallow now? Have you tried feeding her anything, like porridge or water?"

Beidou thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "We don't know if Ningguang has eaten in prison, but this morning I thought she needed to replenish her strength, so I cooked some porridge and fed her little by little with a small spoon."

"But after just two bites, she vomited it all up; she couldn't swallow it at all."

Upon hearing "unable to swallow," Bai Shu sighed softly and finally told Ning Guang the truth about her current condition.

"How should I describe it... Last time in the General Affairs Department prison, I used acupuncture and herbal medicine to stabilize the toxins in her body. I was planning to go out for free clinics every day to gradually clear away the remaining toxins."

"But who knew that starting from the next day, the General Affairs Department would not let me near the prison cell, saying that 'Yuheng Star has ordered that no unauthorized persons may come into contact with Ningguang.'"

"What else is there to say? Last time we were already lenient, so please don't let me in no matter what."

He paused, touched his forehead, and said with a troubled expression, "It seems that the toxins in Ningguang's body have not spread further, which is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

"But because of the long delay, the lingering toxins have begun to erode her internal organs and nerves, and the situation is still not optimistic."

Beidou was most afraid of hearing such vague statements, so he immediately stepped forward, grabbed Baizhu's arm, and anxiously pressed for answers.

"Dr. Bai, I don't want to hear all this complicated stuff. I just want to ask you one question: Can Ningguang survive? As long as she survives, everything else is negotiable!"

Bai Shu's arm was gripped tightly, but he did not break free. Instead, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, repeatedly considering the possibilities of various treatment options in his mind. Finally, he slowly spoke.

"You can rest assured that I will survive. But..."

At this point, his tone shifted, becoming serious.

Even if the subsequent treatment goes smoothly, Ningguang's best outcome may be that she loses the ability to speak and will never be able to speak again.

When Beidou heard the words "can live," half of her anxiety subsided. When she heard "lost the ability to speak," she not only didn't panic, but breathed a sigh of relief.

She released Bai Shu's arm, patted her chest, and felt incredibly relieved.

"Becoming mute is better than dying! Ningguang is always so talkative, this is a good opportunity for her to rest!"

"As long as she's alive, there are always ways to deal with things later. At worst, we can communicate with her through gestures or have her write it down. It's better than being separated by death!"

……

After confirming the treatment plan, Bai Zhu performed acupuncture on Ningguang again, prepared a medicinal decoction, pried open her mouth, and poured it down her throat.

Afterwards, Bai Zhu used "longevity" as a medium to give Ning Guang some of his life force.

With the infusion of life force, Ningguang's originally weak breathing gradually became much more steady and powerful.

A few minutes later, Bai Shu slowly withdrew his hand, and Chang Sheng climbed back onto his neck.

Although the remaining toxins weren't completely eliminated, at least Ningguang can hold on for a while longer.

Bai Zhu then took out paper and pen from the medicine box and quickly wrote down a prescription, which detailed the daily dosage and preparation method. Finally, he also noted the precautions of "requiring quiet rest and avoiding bumps and noise".

"This is two days' worth of medicine. Just prepare it according to the prescription." Bai Zhu handed the prescription and several packets of medicinal herbs to Ye Lan.

"The only thing we can do now is wait for her to wake up. As for how well she recovers, we can only leave it to fate."

Ye Lan took the prescription and medicine and quickly thanked him, "Thank you so much, Dr. Bai, you've worked so hard."

Beidou, who was standing nearby, moved closer to the bedside. Seeing that Ningguang's complexion had obviously improved, he breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but say with regret:

"Although it's good that she's alive, the thought of not hearing the voice of this woman destined for wealth and privilege in the future is really making me feel a little uneasy."

"I used to find her roundabout way of speaking annoying, but now I'm actually hoping she'll banter with me again in the future."

Hearing this, Changsheng, who was hanging around Baishu's neck, couldn't help but offer some words of comfort:

"As long as you get enough rest and take medication, your voice can recover, it just will take some time."

Upon hearing that Ningguang needed to rest properly in order to recover completely, Beidou immediately felt that this was a difficult situation.

(Beidou: As long as Ningguang lives in a country club in California, that would be fine. No, damn it, the conditions don't allow it right now!)

(Director: Wrong channel! Oops!)

"It would be good if she could recover! But Liyue Harbor is in such a mess right now, where is there a place for her to recuperate properly?"

"Although my Death Star is well-hidden, the ship is rocking back and forth at sea, so it's not a good place to rest and recuperate in peace."
