Chapter 122 Applying Medicine
Lin Chunyi sprinkled hemostatic powder on her wound, "Don't cry out, it will only hurt for a little while, just bear with it."
He shook the porcelain bottle again and said:
"Look at this bottle of hemostatic powder. We've only used it once, and there's almost nothing left. That's far too little."
Looks like I'll have to go to the county tomorrow; I need to stock up on these things to feel at ease.
"Not only should we buy it, but this time we should buy the best! Whether it's a few taels of silver or tens of taels, we have to buy it." Lin Lanshan witnessed firsthand the efficacy of ancient hemostatic powder.
She felt that this item should be an essential item for hunters like her who lived deep in the mountains and dealt with wild animals year-round.
At this moment, Lin Chunyi joked, "What if the best one costs several hundred taels of silver? Would you still buy it?"
Lin Lanshan turned to look at her, dumbfounded:
"Sister, what are you thinking? We've only earned a thousand taels of silver since we arrived here, thanks to sheer luck."
A bottle of medicine costing several hundred taels of silver is worth more than my life! It's not some miracle cure that will make me ascend to heaven. I won't buy it!
Seeing that her sister was still laughing at her, she asked her in a low voice:
"Sis, the more expensive the product, the more it hurts when you apply it to the wound. Do you still want to buy the most expensive one?"
"..." Lin Chunyi's smile froze on her face, then she continued to talk nonsense as if nothing had happened:
"Don't you know that good medicine tastes bitter? That means the more bitter and painful it is, the better the effect. Of course, you should buy the best!"
She was being so stubborn, but what she was really thinking was:
The pain she endured tonight is something she never wants to experience again in this life, or even in the next. If the pain were any worse, she might as well give up on treatment altogether!
Just thinking about the torment she suffered when the medicine was applied made her feel pain all over her body again.
Then she changed the subject, saying, "The water in the pot must be getting cold soon, hurry up and wash your hair before going to bed."
Lin Lanshan silently fetched water to help her stubborn sister wash her hair, and then washed her own. After wringing it half-dry with a towel, the two returned to their bedroom.
As for the blood-stained evidence of their battle with wolves in the pine forest tonight, it was carelessly left in the bathroom; they can wash themselves when they return tomorrow.
bedroom.
Lin Lanshan lay on the bed, turned her head to the side and said, "Sister, novels all say that wolf meat doesn't taste good, it's salty, sour and smelly... What are we going to do with so much of it?"
They were really looking forward to the wolf fur blanket.
But the rotten meat of eighteen wolves was something I really didn't want to eat, but I couldn't just throw it away.
Lin Chunyi, also lying on the bed, sighed and said:
"We'll dry them and keep them as New Year's gifts. We'll give a few to Uncle Lin and Yang Yu's families to help us use some up. As for the rest, we'll just have to work hard to make them ourselves."
Not only were they injured killing the wolf, but eating its flesh would mean suffering again. If it weren't for the wolf pelts, they would have really lost out tonight!
One of them had an injury to their shoulder, and the other to their lower back, so neither could lie down to sleep. They had no choice but to wait until their hair dried and then sleep face down for the night…
The next day, at the crack of dawn,
Lin Lanshan stuck out her buttocks and struggled to arch her back. "Sister, look at my kidneys! I can't feel them anymore!"
"Ouch... What a coincidence, me too. I can't even get up." Lin Chunyi rubbed her lower back with her right hand. She finished speaking with a grimace, then twisted her body and managed to get up.
Sleeping on my stomach is so uncomfortable; my back is all stiff from sleeping like that.
After the two of them finally managed to sit up and start getting dressed, Lin Chunyi frowned and said:
"Lanshan, look at my shoulder. It hurts a bit, maybe the wound has reopened."
Lin Lanshan crawled over to take a look and saw three hideous scratches that had already solidified into new scabs mixed with moist hemostatic powder.
But the deepest crack in the middle split open, and a translucent pale yellow liquid seeped out.
She took out a wound disinfectant spray and the last bit of hemostatic powder from her spatial storage, and said with some reluctance:
"Sister, it's not infected yet. But a lot of tissue fluid has leaked out. If it's not treated, it will definitely become infected."
Although they don't understand medicine, they do understand biology.
A large amount of tissue fluid draining from a large wound indicates a risk of infection and is a sign that suppuration is imminent.
Lin Chunyi trembled slightly, her shoulders slumped, and she closed her eyes resignedly, saying:
“Come on, a few pricks now are better than having my flesh ripped out. Hurry up, I can’t take it for long…” Her lips started trembling as she spoke.
Lin Lanshan disinfected the wound again and then wiped the edges of the wound with a cotton cloth, removing the yellow fluid and disinfectant that had flowed out.
Then she picked up the hemostatic powder, her nose stung, and her eyes reddened. Gritting her teeth, she sprinkled the powder on her sister's wound once more.
How can I describe this feeling?
Lin Chunyi felt that although she had already experienced it once, and only half a night had passed...
But she still felt that all the pain she had ever experienced in her life combined did not compare to these two times.
She was in so much pain that her head was spinning, and she was still thinking:
This is really going to be tough for her. If those wolf pelts in the yard can't provide her with a good blanket for the winter...
She was determined to search the entire mountain and wipe out all those wolves, leaving not a trace!
"How are you feeling? Has it gotten any better?" Lin Lanshan asked her sister with concern.
"It's alright. Find a clean piece of cotton cloth and wrap it around my shoulder, then tie it up with strips of cloth."
If she puts on her clothes like that, any movement will aggravate the wound, and she'll be in excruciating pain the whole way.
After the two finished packing, they pushed the carriage out, took Peach's hand, walked past a pile of wolf carcasses, and went out the door.
Lin Lanshan's waist wound did not become infected and will scab over and heal naturally in a few days.
So she was the one driving the whole way, while Lin Chunyi sat in the car like a king.
As soon as she came down the mountain, Lin Lanshan saw a tall stone wall appear on the side.
"Sis, Yang Yu and his team acted pretty quickly. This courtyard wall looks very safe."
“Because money is also a kind of power~” Lin Chunyi lifted the curtain, glanced at it, and then put it down.
The stone wall is nearly three meters high. Three people, and less than half a month... unless they work from morning till night without rest.
"That's good, it shows he can tell what's important. It's just that his five hundred taels won't last long at this rate, hahaha." Lin Lanshan shook her head and then drove away.
After a while, the back gate of Yang Yu's house opened. Ahua ran out holding a wooden spoon.
She craned her neck to look around, muttering to herself, "Strange, I clearly heard some passing sounds. Could I have imagined it?"
……
The two sisters sped into the city in their mule cart, arriving at Jishetang before dawn.
The clinic had just opened and there weren't many patients yet.
Lin Lanshan got out of the car, tied the mule to the gate, and then said to the worker who was cleaning:
"Brother, we've come to see a doctor about our injury. Could you watch over the mule for a bit? It'll be over soon." Then she took out three coins and handed them to him.
