EBE Chapter 127 Disdain
Chapter 127 Disdain
Fortunately, judging from the fabric wrapped around his body, he must have already done some simple treatment beforehand.
Lin Chang'er, who prided herself on having seen many storms in her later life, was momentarily flustered and dared not easily remove the bandages on his body to check his wounds.
However, she quickly came to her senses; such an injury was beyond her ability to treat.
She didn't know why he was injured, but judging from the fact that he didn't go to the Sihai Restaurant but instead came to this remote countryside to seek her help, it was clear that...
Because of certain concerns, consulting a doctor is not practical.
Lin Chang'er's mind raced, and as her gaze settled, she had already made up her mind.
“Third Brother,” she called out.
“I’m here,” Wu Qingfeng replied weakly.
Lin Chang'er said, "I can't treat your injury by myself. Now, I'll go and wake my mother up to help, and then go next door to invite the old doctor over."
Don't worry, I'll keep it quiet and won't disturb anyone.
Don't sleep.
Wu Qingfeng struggled to open his eyes, which had been closed. "I'm not sleeping."
Lin Chang'er hummed in agreement and wasted no time. She quickly went out to wake up Gu's mother and then dug Xu Gun'er up. She didn't dare to open the courtyard gate, but instead climbed a ladder over her own low wall and went into the neighboring doctor's yard to ask for help.
Xu Gun'er slept in the same room as Gu Silang and Xiao Jinyu, while Gu Xiaolu stayed with her mother. As a result, the other children were also awakened.
However, they had all gotten used to the fact that as long as Lin Chang'er was there, she would hold up the sky even if it collapsed.
Therefore, I didn't ask any questions out of curiosity.
Gu Silang had been with his mother since he was a child and was very good at starting fires. Little Goldfish and Gu Xiaolu went to help carry firewood.
Lin Chang'er was worried about Wu Qingfeng, so she stayed in the room watching over him and occasionally saying something to him.
Wu Qingfeng was already exhausted from blood loss and didn't understand why Lin Chang'er wouldn't let him get a good night's sleep, but he still complied. When she called him, he responded; when she spoke to him, he replied with a word or two to let her know that he was still awake.
Although Lin Chang'er was being as careful as possible, she still managed to make sure that the Gu brothers, Da Lang and Er Lang, could hear the commotion.
Lin Chang'er didn't lie and simply told the story.
Wu Qingfeng had previously helped Lin Chang'er seek justice and was her benefactor, which also made him the benefactor of the Gu family.
Therefore, the two brothers said nothing, and replaced the two younger ones with the two brothers to boil water.
Once the water boiled, Lin Chang'er first added white sugar and salt, and soaked a large bowl of it in the correct proportions.
Fearing that it would frighten her family, Lin Chang'er asked Gu Dalang and Gu Erlang to take Gu Xiaolu to watch the fire in the kitchen.
Gu Silang and Xiao Jinyu waited at the foot of the wall to meet him, while he carried the salt water into the house alone.
When she returned, Wu Qingfeng still had his eyes open, but his gaze was somewhat unfocused.
"Third Brother," Lin Chang'er called to him, trying to clear his eyes. She leaned closer and said, "You've lost a lot of blood, drink some water first."
Wu Qingfeng closed his eyes briefly in response, then struggled to sit up. Lin Chang'er quickly reached out and pressed him down, saying, "Don't move, the wound will reopen and cause even faster blood loss."
Without saying another word, she picked up the large bowl and fed him with a spoon.
Wu Qingfeng thought it was just water, but it tasted sweet as soon as it went down his throat, like withered grass meeting sweet rain.
They didn't know why, but this little girl had many ideas that they could never understand.
After drinking a large bowl of salt water, Wu Qingfeng felt as if he had regained some strength.
Lin Chang'er also noticed that his face had regained a little color, but strangely, Xu Gun'er and Gu's mother had not returned for a long time.
Lin Chang'er was a little anxious. After explaining the reason, she went out to check and just then saw a big and a small figure walking towards her in the moonlight.
As they got closer, they could see that it was Little Goldfish and the old doctor from next door. The old woman was still wearing a faded coarse linen dress, but she was clean all over. Unlike before, she was carrying a medicine box on her back.
Upon seeing Lin Chang'er, he didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, "What's the situation?"
Lin Chang'er didn't see Xu Gun'er and Gu's mother, and she was a little puzzled, but she didn't have time to ask at the moment.
As for how Wu Qingfeng was injured, she hadn't asked beforehand, and only told her what she had seen: "Multiple injuries, severe blood loss. He received some basic treatment and the bleeding was temporarily stopped. He is still relatively conscious. Just now, I fed him a bowl of sugar and salt water."
The old woman looked at Lin Chang'er with surprise, but said nothing. She simply stepped into the room, and when she saw the man lying on the bed, she narrowed her eyes and said to Lin Chang'er, "Hot water."
Lin Chang'er said "Oh" and hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring over some hot water.
"You've come at the right time. Take off his clothes," the old doctor instructed as Lin Chang'er entered the room.
Lin Chang'er: "..."?!
She pointed uncertainly to herself, while the old woman doctor remained expressionless. "They're disgusted with this old woman and won't let me touch them."
Lin Chang'er: "..."
It was somewhat amusing, but the situation didn't allow her to lecture him. She simply said to Wu Qingfeng, "Third Brother, I'll examine your injuries with the old woman now."
Wu Qingfeng frowned. Seeing her reach out with a frank expression, he looked somewhat dazed. He instinctively reached out to block her, but Lin Chang'er swiftly and decisively pressed his hand down.
Lin Chang'er quickly untied the cloth strips binding his body, then untied his outer garment and inner garment, until the wound was exposed.
Although she knew beforehand that he was seriously injured, she still couldn't help but gasp when she actually saw the wound.
She had more than ten injuries, big and small, the most serious being her shoulder, which was so deep that the bone was visible. Fortunately, no vital organs or other vital parts were injured. Lin Chang'er took a deep breath and felt extremely lucky.
The old woman had already opened her medicine box, took out a small jar, and handed it to Lin Chang'er. "Clean the wound first, then apply the dressing."
He then pointed to several deep and long wounds, saying, "These wounds need to be stitched up to heal quickly."
Lin Chang'er nodded. Seeing that the old man didn't seem to be planning to do anything, she didn't say much. She simply wet a cloth with hot water and said, "Third Brother, I'll clean your wound now. Just bear with it."
Wu Qingfeng nodded with his eyes closed.
Lin Chang'er was very quick; she cleaned up the small wounds and reapplied the medicine in no time.
Since there were no bandages available, Lin Chang'er found a new undergarment, tore it open, and used it to bandage him.
Wu Qingfeng opened his eyes unintentionally and saw her tearing open her inner garment, taking out scissors to cut a slit, and then quickly tearing it all the way to the bottom.
There was not a trace of reluctance in his eyes, and his whole being exuded calmness and composure.
When she bandaged him, her movements were even more skillful, as if she had done this a million times before.
The dim firelight illuminated the woman before him, and Wu Qingfeng was puzzled as to what kind of woman she really was.
There's an even stronger sense that she doesn't belong to this era.
Lin Chang'er was focused on treating the wound and had no time to look at Wu Qingfeng's reaction. When she got to the part that needed stitches, she spoke softly, "There's no anesthetic, so you'll have to bear with it."
He then reached out, "Needle and thread..."
