After Xiao Qiang finished speaking, she looked at me. Chen Jian, who was standing next to her, became a little anxious and looked at Xiao Qiang.

"Sister-in-law, if you don't know how to handle this, then he can only wait to die! I think he's already unconscious anyway, so why don't you take this little dagger and check if there are any bullets left in his leg, and then just dig them out?"

Upon hearing Chen Jian's words, Xiao Qiang glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? This matter isn't as easy as you think. If it were that simple, everyone could become a surgeon. You know, there are many blood vessels in the thigh. If you accidentally puncture one, the bleeding won't stop and you'll still die. In that case, wouldn't I become a murderer?"

I was startled when I heard Xiao Qiang say that; I had completely forgotten about this matter.

If it weren't for Xiao Qiang's advice, this matter would have really gone wrong.

I quickly grabbed Xiao Qiang and looked at her, whispering to comfort her, "Don't worry, this won't hurt your hands. If you really don't want to do it, think of another way."

Xu Wei cautiously approached, holding several jars of herbs in her hands.

"What should we do? If we don't save him soon, he'll die. It's so hot, his wounds are likely to get infected and fester. We don't have any antibiotics here. I think we should deal with this quickly."

Chen Jian nodded in agreement: "I think your sister-in-law is right. Look at his condition now, he's barely breathing. If we don't deal with it quickly, he might really be dying! Brother Sihai, don't hesitate, make a decision quickly!"

Xiao Qiang looked at the man, then at me, and gritted her teeth.

"I brought the tools and the knife, but I really don't dare to do it. Sihai, please don't make things difficult for me..."

I immediately pulled Xiao Qiang into my arms and stroked her hair.

This really put her in a difficult position.

"Silly girl, what are you saying? Even if I were to do it myself, I would never let you do this. Give me the thing, and I'll give it a try."

Xiao Qiang paused for a moment after hearing what I said, "Are you sure you can handle this? I think in this situation, it would be better to just give him some simple treatment and apply some herbal medicine. We don't have any medical facilities here, and you have no idea where the bullet is. If it has already hit the bone, then there's even less chance of saving him. If you enlarge the wound, he will only die faster."

"But I feel that if we don't save him now, he will die completely. Since he is already in this state, the worst that can happen is death. Let's try anything, maybe we can actually save his life."

When Xiao Qiang heard what I said and realized she couldn't persuade me, she finally nodded.

"Fortunately, I brought a lot of hemostatic medicine. Wang Ping is right behind us. He brought a pot and a wolf skin. After the surgery, we'll light a campfire to keep him warm, and then make him some hemostatic and blood-stasis-removing herbal soup. The remaining herbs can be applied to his body to prevent infection. We still have that anti-inflammatory medicine that we haven't been able to use. I've brought one tablet, and I'll give it to him later. It will help."

Upon hearing how meticulous Xiao Qiang's arrangements were, Chen Jian immediately showed his approval.

"You're so thoughtful, sister-in-law! We wouldn't have thought of things so thoroughly if it were us."

Xiao Qiang didn't say anything, but just looked at the man lying on the ground again.

"I think we should check what's in his bag. If there's medicine in it, then we won't have to go through all this trouble."

Chen Jian nodded and quickly opened the bag the man was carrying.

After opening it, I found a flashlight, a lighter, a map, a marker, several packs of compressed biscuits, and even a small medicine box inside.

After opening the medicine box, besides the most basic anti-inflammatory drugs, there was a box of antibiotics and a syringe, as well as a box without any words inside containing many white pills, I didn't know what they were.

However, these antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs were much better than the herbal medicines that Xiao Qiang and the others had brought.

Xu Wei's face lit up with joy upon seeing this.

"It seems he's truly destined to survive. With these medicines, plus Sister Xiao Qiang's herbal hemostatics, as long as your surgery is successful, he can live."

I was also a little excited, so I asked Xiao Qiang to bring rope and tie the man's legs tightly. Finally, I cut a small incision, and Wang Ping arrived. He tore off a piece of the man's clothes and used hot water from the pot to wipe away the bloodstains around it. I reached my hand into his flesh to feel for the bullet inside.

For the first dozen or so attempts, they didn't even touch him, and the man woke up several times during that time, struggling in pain.

His face was deathly pale, he was covered in sweat, and he was shouting loudly, looking very pitiful.

Even Wang Ping and Chen Jian couldn't hold him down.

Xu Wei stood to the side, her eyes red-rimmed, clearly feeling very sorry for him.

But given the current situation, we have to remove the bullet to save his life.

I tried to clear my mind and focus all my attention on my fingers. With the last two strokes, I finally managed to remove the bullet.

The bullet was small, but very powerful. Fortunately, it didn't pierce his bone; otherwise, his leg would have been ruined.

After the bullet was removed, the man was completely unconscious, his face was deathly pale, and blood was flowing continuously from his legs.

Xiao Qiang was also extremely nervous.

"I don't know if he injured a blood vessel just now, but luckily I brought a lot of herbs. Quickly apply them to him, and then inject the antibiotics..."

As Xiao Qiang spoke, he suddenly paused, then pointed to the bloody, mangled wound.

"But his wound is so big, it needs to be stitched up eventually! Otherwise, it won't heal."

I shook my head, unable to come up with a solution for the time being. Later, it was Xu Wei who...

I gave an idea. I used an antibiotic-injected needle to wrap Xiao Qiang's long hair and stitched up the man's wound. After the wound was treated, I was covered in cold sweat.

After all, this is the first time in my life that I've acted as a surgeon without anesthesia, advanced equipment, or even a scalpel and medical tweezers.

I actually managed to pry the bullet out with my bare hands, and I really did manage to pry it out.

After the wound was stitched up, the bleeding had stopped. Xiao Qiang quickly applied all the herbs to the man's wound, carefully wrapped it with a cloth, and then fed him the anti-inflammatory medicine she had brought with water or a decoction.

After everything was prepared, it was getting dark. Fortunately, we were all still here. However, I was a little worried that Liu Jiaojiao and Wang Xiaoxiao were the only ones left in the camp. I wondered what the situation was like over there.

“I think you should go back first. It’s not good to have too many people here. Go back over there and protect Liu Jiaojiao and the others. Wang Ping and I will stay here. Chen Jian, Wang Xiaoxiao knows where all the guns and ammunition are. You must take good care of them when you go back.”

Chen Jian nodded.

However, Xiao Qiang and the others did not want to go back. In the end, after my repeated persuasion, they left with many backward glances.
