In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

Kanna, standing behind Zuocun, involuntarily covered her mouth.

"Shina, bring me the gauze!" Samura applied the ash from burnt wood and grass that he had prepared earlier to the cut wound.

"Ugh—" Luslan cried out in pain while unconscious.

"Ah—okay!" Kanna quickly handed the gauze to Samura.

The burning of the wood ash reduced the bleeding from the severed wound on Ruslan's left leg.

Zuo Cun quickly bandaged Luslan's wound with gauze, but made a mistake once because it was stained with blood.

By the time Zuo Cun finally finished bandaging the wound and the bleeding stopped, Lu Silan's face was frighteningly pale.

Zuocun fed Ruslan the porridge that Kanna had just prepared, bit by bit.

"The rest... is up to your fate," Village Chief Zuo sighed.

That night, Ruslan developed a fever again. Zuocun was busy running around and even ran back to the ruins to find some medicine to treat inflammation and fed it to Ruslan.

Meanwhile, Ruslan was in dire straits.

Ruins of the Shinsengumi's headquarters in Kyoto.

"Cough-cough-"

"Cough cough cough-"

Okita Souji covered his mouth and nose with a small piece of cloth and coughed violently.

She also participated in the firefighting efforts.

However, Okita Souji's cough worsened after inhaling a large amount of smoke and dust.

"Cough-cough-cough-"

The Shinsengumi's medic died in the fire, and several other members also perished in the flames. However, the Shinsengumi was not seriously damaged, as none of the core members were injured.

"Okita, are you alright?" Saito patted Okita Souji on the back.

Okita coughed twice more.

The team doctor is dead, and it's unlikely there will be any other doctors left in Kyoto.

Kondo stood to the side, his eyes filled with anxiety.

The Shinsengumi has suffered repeated setbacks, and Okita cannot afford to get into trouble now.

What should I do...? Is there anyone who knows medicine?

Suddenly, he remembered something.

"Saito," Kondo Isami called out to Saito.

"What's wrong, Chief?" Saito looked up at Kondo Isami.

"Go to Mibu Village right now, to that guy Samura's house," Kondo Isami ordered. "See if Samura is there... I think I saw Samura a couple of days ago when we were fighting the fire. See if you can find him."

“But… Chief, Zuocun is now…” Saito seemed a little hesitant.

He was referring to the recent Ikedaya incident, which made Samura a wanted criminal officially by the shogunate.

Kondo shook his head: "Don't worry about that now, go quickly, I'll take responsibility."

He thought for a moment and said, "You can tell Samura... Okita is sick and needs a doctor."

“Well… alright.” Saito had no choice but to nod.

Kondo sighed as he looked at Okita, who was in distress.

I hope you know a little bit about medicine, Zuocun.

The reason he thought of having Zuo Cun come was that Zuo Cun had bandaged him and stopped the bleeding a couple of days ago after he slashed him, and he seemed quite professional.

Let's try anything now, even if it's a last resort.

......

As dawn approached, Ruslan finally woke up.

Feeling the slightly damp towel on his forehead, and looking at the unfamiliar room, Ruslan felt somewhat lost.

He sat up, supporting himself on the tatami mat.

I feel a bit dizzy and lightheaded.

The human body is so fragile... Even though it's just a temporary shell, the pain is real.

Ruslan's strength was not great, and his physical mass was only equivalent to that of a normal human.

"Oh dear, thank goodness I survived... otherwise I would have had to continue observing as a spirit... Huh?" He lifted the blanket and glanced at his left leg.

Ugh?

well?????

Where are my legs?

Zuo Cun, who was sleeping against the wall, was also awakened by Lu Silan's voice.

"Ah, you're awake, Ruslan."

“An... Zuo Village?” Luslan was stunned.

"I dug you out of the rubble." Zuo Cun stood up, stretched his neck, and smiled. "Looks like you're safe and sound."

“Ah… thank you, but…” Luslan pointed to his left leg.

"Oh, this?" Zuo Cun's expression turned apologetic. "When I brought you out of the ruins, your leg was already necrotic. To save your life, I cut it off."

“Oh...I see…” Luslan’s expression looked a little stiff.

"Don't worry, I did the bleeding control and bandaging for your leg according to the method you told me before." Zuo Cun smiled.

"Help me open it up, I'll see if it needs any further processing." Luslan had calmed down and smiled at Zuocun.

"it is good."

Just as Zuocun and Luslan were dealing with the broken section for the second time, a knock came at the door.

Zuo Cun's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"I gonna go see."

He picked up the pheasant feathers and crane wings, first glancing at Kanna who was sleeping peacefully, before heading towards the door.

Zuo Cun opened the door a crack and stared at the person at the door, momentarily stunned.

As the door was fully opened, Samura was somewhat taken aback: "Saito?"

"Samura, it's been a long time." A bead of cold sweat trickled down Saito's temple.

"You... why are you looking for me?" Samura looked at Saito with a "Are you sick?" look.

“Kondo asked me to come.” Saito sighed. “Okita is sick and needs a doctor. He asked me to ask you if you know any doctors or anything like that.”

Chapter 395: Going to the Enemy Choshu Domain

With Roslan on his back and Okita Souji in his arms, Zuocun rushed towards the ruins of Roslan's clinic.

After Saito Hajime revealed that Okita was ill, Samura consulted with Roslan and then carried Roslan to the ruins of the Shinsengumi.

After a brief examination of Okita's condition, the lame Luslan asked Samura to take Okita Souji and himself to the ruins of the clinic, where he had some medicine that could slow down the cough.

Okita's consciousness was somewhat blurred.

She coughed twice, looking at the figure holding her.

"Zuocun..."

We finally arrived at the ruins.

"Put me down, let me look for him. You take good care of Captain Okita first." Ruslan's voice was a little weak.

"Ah good."

Zuocun cleared out a small open space and first had Okita lie down on the ground.

Then Zuocun directly cleared out the ruins.

Ruslan found his medicine cabinet, rummaged through it, and found a small glass bottle.

“This is it. Feed it to Captain Okita.” Roslan tossed the bottle to Samura, then lay down on the cabinet, panting heavily, sweat pouring down his face. “Let me rest for a bit. I feel a little too weak.”

Having just undergone an extremely unprofessional amputation, Ruslan is currently in great pain.

"Yes, thank you, Ruslan," Zuocun said gratefully.

"Don't thank me. If it weren't for you, I would be dead." Luslan smiled.

Without delay, Zuocun uncorked the bottle, poured out a pill, and fed it to Okita.

Luslan glanced slightly in the direction of Zuocun.

That medicine can indeed delay the onset of Souji's illness.

However, it only delays the symptoms and cannot truly cure Okita's condition.

Luslan let out a long sigh.

He cannot change history, and naturally he cannot actually save Okita Souji.

If he altered the relevant history, those two guys would definitely find out.

So... I'm sorry, Lord Anno.

Samura placed Okita Souji's head on his lap, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

......

"So, you're just going to leave without a word?" Kondo looked at Samura, who was carrying Ruslan on his back.

"Don't forget, Kondo, you said it yourself, I'm a wanted criminal." Samura chuckled, his back to Ruslan. "I gave you a beating a few days ago. I'm sure your superiors wouldn't be happy to leave someone as dangerous as me here."

Hijikata Toshizo stood to the side, looked into Samura's eyes, and suddenly smiled.
