Chapter 291 291 Suturing the Wound (4)

Time passed quickly in the stone house.

Suturing a wound is a delicate job, especially when the wound is so serious. The suturing plan needed to be adjusted several times, but fortunately it was successfully completed in the end.

"Huh..." Three hours later, Xia Tian tied the last knot and looked at the struggling and twisted sutures on Lu's body, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The wound is sutured, which greatly reduces the contact area between the wound and the air, and also helps the wound heal by providing strength to prevent the wound from cracking.

"The wound has been sutured now. I'll find some anti-inflammatory and detoxifying herbs for you to apply on the wound later. Don't let it get wet or cover it with anything during this period. It's best to just lie down for a few days and observe the situation." She wiped the sweat off her forehead and said to He Lu in a weak voice.

At this time, Lu was no longer moving, but just nodded weakly to indicate that he understood.

From Xia Tian's angle, she could only see his pale profile and the cold sweat that had soaked the stone bed.

She knew that he was in pain.

He endured the pain of being pricked by a needle without making a sound or struggling at all. She really admired the man for being a real man.

The patient needed to rest, so she didn't expose him. After confirming that he was in good mental state, she washed her hands, packed up her tools, and went out with Si Ye.

The sun was setting outside and it would soon be dark.

"Stay overnight." Xia Tian glanced at the sky in the distance. "Tonight is very important. If we don't handle it well, all our efforts will be wasted. I'm worried."

"Do you want to stay overnight?" Si Ye was originally planning how to persuade her to stay, but the girl actually brought up this plan first.

"We still have to go find some herbs later, and it's not convenient to go back at night. Let's wait overnight. It's not too late to leave tomorrow." Xia Tian said.

In fact, she didn’t say the most important thing. She was a little worried that Lu would have a fever at night.

As mentioned before, this type of injury itself is not fatal. Many people can still be alive and well for a while after being injured, but once an infection occurs and the body temperature rises, the situation becomes critical.

So she had to stay and guard tonight, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

Most of the people waiting outside the stone house had gone back by now, leaving only Uncle Tao and a few young people who lived close to the road guarding it.

"Uncle Tao, you should go back and rest first. The wound was treated smoothly and there will be no big problem." Xia Tian first gave the old man a reassurance.

No matter what, we can't let the elderly worry.

Uncle Tao didn't know whether he really believed it or was just too tired today, but he nodded and said, "I understand. You just said you wanted to stay and prepare herbs and things. Just tell Ah Ye directly. I'm old now, so I'll leave these matters to you."

What this means is that Si Ye is the actual patriarch here, and you can go to him if you have any problems.

Xia Tian responded and watched Uncle Tao leave with a somewhat unsteady gait.

As soon as the old man left, the other young beastmen gathered around to ask about the situation. "How's the situation on the road? They said it wasn't very optimistic. How is it now?"

"You guys take turns going in there and guarding. Come to me if you need anything." Si Ye interrupted and spoke to his peers in a completely different tone than he used in front of Uncle Tao. "Xia Xia is too tired. She needs to go find some herbs later. Don't bother her."
