The wound was beyond her expectation. The skin and flesh were turned out and the bones were visible. It looked like an arrow had hit the leg. If it had been taken well, it wouldn't have been a big wound, but it was obviously done in a rough way, as if someone had pulled it out with force. It looked like the entire wound was very torn, almost bloody and bloody, and it probably went without treatment for a few days. Coupled with the hot weather, the wound had festered. At this time, it seemed that there were still spots of pus and rot on it. Selena looked at it, and herface turned pale and his scalp was numb.
Fortunately, it rained yesterday and the weather was cooler. Otherwise, if the wound was bitten by flies, a lot of maggots would have appeared. The taste would really make life worse than death. Selena endured the constant vomiting in her stomach and quickly walked out of the cave with the empty pot of soup, intending to clean it and get some water to clean his wound.
If the wound is not treated, no matter how much cattail root juice is poured into Lucio's mouth, it will be useless. Lucio is still destined to be lucky. In her previous life, she was present when the doctor helped her father clean up the ulcerated wound, and she often took care of him with her mother during those days. Like change his clothes and take medicine, so Selena still know more about medical knowledge than ordinary people.
Fortunately, she had prepared some things this time, including a clean white cloth and cattails growing by the river to stop bleeding.
She rummaged through the iron tools in the cave for a long time before she found a piece of iron that was not too rusty and was sharp. Then she rubbed off the rust stains on it. After cleaning it, she started to imitate a doctor with some anxiety. He used something to hold the iron piece and roasted it on the fire. After it cooled down, he held it with his hands, and finally gritted his teeth and began to scrape the smelly rotten flesh around the wounds.
It looks simple, but it is much more difficult to do. Although she tells herself that it is just like scraping fish scales, after all, he is a living person. Every time she scrapes, the person lying on the stone floor will shake violently and even fall into coma. Still clenched his fists in pain. Selena didn't care about anything else and pressed his legs. Under the oil lamp, her slightly frightened and slightly pale face was twitching tightly, but her hands kept carefully scraping the pus, blood and rotten flesh, and kept using clean it with water. The longer it takes, the more painful it will be, so the action should be as fast as possible.
This process of scraping flesh was repeated until the whole wound started to flow with bright red blood again. She stopped her nervous and somewhat numb arms, and then pressed a clean white cloth to the bleeding wound, and her face became sweaty. She reached into the bamboo basket to get the medicine paste she had pounded. The medicine was actually made from several common medicial weeds in the fields plus cattails and the magical spring water in her palm. She didn't expect that this man's injury would be so serious. At this time, he could only treat a dead horse as a live doctor, and even though it was a crude method, it might not be ineffective at all.
After all, the effect of the herbs that stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, plus the spring liquid in the palm of your hand, can be greatly improved. She dug out the paste and applied it externally to the bleeding wound. She pressed it tightly with a piece of white cloth, then tore off a piece of cotton cloth and wrapped it around her leg to tie it tightly.
After bandaging the wound, Selena breathed a sigh of relief, stood upright with her nearly broken waist, wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeves, poured out the dirty water in the jar, washed her hands and put the jar back. At this time, the man on the stone slab was in pain and was covered with sweat on his forehead. He was still a little responsive before, but now he may have fainted. Selena poked under his nose for a long time and felt relieved when she saw that he was still breathing.
When Selena went back, she didn't dare to go in through the front door of her home. She squeezed in through a loose fence on the side, and her hair was messed up by the branches. When she entered the door, she was almost seen by Maria who came out in clothes. She was so frightened that she hid in the house with her heart pounding. She was frightened all night that made she felt like she was going to be sick.
Then she hurriedly changed out of his blood-stained clothes and wet shoes. Fortunately, the floor of the mud room at home was also mud, and there would be no trace when the wet shoes stepped on it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to hide it from Maria's eyes. She took off her half-wet shoes and dirty clothes and stuffed them under the bed temporarily, and then changed her clothes. She broke out in a cold sweat last night, and now she felt sticky and uncomfortable all over her body, and there was also a strange smell.
But if she suddenly had to take a shower early in the morning, she was afraid that Maria would ask why. In order not to make people suspicious, she needed to lie on the bed and sleep for a while. She had been in a state of nervousness when she was in the cave, but now she relaxed and suddenly felt Feeling sleepy, I couldn't open my eyes for a while, and soon fell asleep.
Their daughter always wakes up later, and both Jose and Maria are used to it. In the past few days, she has been busy drying flowers and making rouge at home. She is also young, so out of pampering for their daughter, the two of them did not disturb her. They hope she can sleep more. Jose picked up the load and left after eating. After Maria finished washing the pots and washing the clothes, she saw that Selena hadn't left the bed yet, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange. She had already woken up at this time on weekdays.
While she was pouring water, she took a look at her room from the window and saw that her daughter was sleeping soundly on the bed in single clothes. She didn't even know that the front part of cloth was opened, revealing the small lotus-colored clothes underwear. Although Selena is only twelve years old, her skin is as white as snow, her small face is delicate, and has big watery eye. Anyone who sees her would take a few more glances. Jose rarely takes her to the city now, for fear that if he doesn't pay attention, his daughter will be abducted and trafficked.
Seeing Selena lying on the bed with her clothes disheveled, Maria quickly put down the tub and closed the window. Although there were not many neighbors at the foot of the mountain, they would occasionally visit her. Her daughter was born well. , it would be a big deal if a man or boy from the family saw it with the window open like this. Although farmers family are not as exquisite as wealthy nobles, ut they cannot be seen by others at will too.
