The dozen or so individuals all had wounds of varying severity. Even the one with the lightest injury had endured a substantial blow from a tiger's claw, while Wang Dali, the most severely injured, had his arm and leg torn up by the tiger at close range, the wounds deep enough to expose the bone. Without meticulous care, there was a risk that the injuries could render him disabled.
Fortunately, the doctor they had engaged was genuinely skilled. The doctor cleaned the villagers' wounds and applied his specially prepared herbal medicine, also prescribing the appropriate treatments to each individual. He assured them that as long as they followed his instructions for applying and taking the medicine, even Wang Dali with his severe injuries, would recover in two to three months.
