Chapter 487 Awakening
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Changning closed one eye and finally stripped Qi Rong naked. After quickly changing his clothes, she turned around, blushing with embarrassment.
Pulling aside Qi Rong's shirt, it was seen that the wounds on Qi Rong's body seemed to have stopped bleeding, or perhaps the broken arrowhead had blocked the wounds, thus slowing down the bleeding.
Lin Changning touched the wound on his shoulder and instantly winced in pain. As his body slowly warmed up, waves of sharp pain came from his shoulder.
Lin Changning gasped, wincing in pain from the injury in his shoulder. The aunt outside knocked on the door and asked, "Young man, I've boiled some hot water. Have you changed your clothes yet? I'll bring the hot water in."
Lin Changning hurriedly got up and called out to the door, "It's all changed, thank you, Auntie."
After hearing Lin Changning say that he had changed his clothes, the woman brought a wooden basin filled with hot water into the room. She placed the basin of hot water and clean towels on the table and said with some concern, "This is clean water and towels. I see that you two have blood on you. You must have been injured when you fell into the water. The doctor will take a while to arrive. Take this time to wipe yourselves down and clean your wounds."
Lin Changning thanked her repeatedly, watched the woman leave, picked up a cloth from the bed and covered Qi Rong's face, then tore open his own clothes and wiped himself off.
There was a bloody hole on her shoulder, now turning white. Lin Changning endured the pain and used a towel soaked in hot water to wipe around the wound.
Perhaps the warm water irritated the wound, because Lin Changning's wound started bleeding again. After wiping it clean, Lin Changning casually picked out a clean strip of cloth from the things that the madam had just brought and wrapped it around the wound. Then he rummaged through his wet clothes.
He took out one of the small porcelain bottles, looked at the slightly dirty and messy writing on it, opened it, smelled it, and then sprinkled the hemostatic powder on his wound.
It was only then that I realized how thoughtful Juro was. Most of the hemostatic powder he gave me before was wrapped in oil paper, but this time he had replaced it with a small porcelain bottle.
Remembering that he had casually mentioned before that paper packets sometimes get soaked with sweat, Juro must have taken it to heart, which is why he replaced them with small porcelain bottles.
After applying the hemostatic powder to the wound, the bleeding stopped in no time. After tidying up her clothes, Lin Changning took out another porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, swallowed it whole, and walked up to Qi Rong.
Her injury was relatively easy to treat, since the arrow somehow fell into the water. However, Qi Rong's arrow had broken off and was lodged in his body. If you wanted to administer medicine to him, you would have to remove the arrow first.
Without a doctor, even if someone has good medicine, it's useless.
Lin Changning pulled open Qi Rong's clothes, soaked the towel she had used in warm water, wrung it out, and used it to clean the wound on Qi Rong's waist.
As I was wiping, my wrist was suddenly gripped and I felt a sharp pain.
In his dazed state, Qi Rong sensed someone undressing him. His mind went blank for a moment, then he suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and tried to pin the person down.
After grasping the person's wrist, Qi Rong looked closely and saw that Xiao Liu, dressed in coarse linen clothes, was staring at him with phoenix eyes, his eyes showing three parts doubt and two parts confusion.
"Second brother? You're awake? I'm cleaning your wounds, please let go of my hand for a moment."
Qi Rong looked around at the furnishings and suddenly remembered that he and Chang Ning had fallen into the water together. A huge wave came and they knew nothing more. Looking at Lin Chang Ning, who had already changed her clothes, Qi Rong rubbed his temples.
With a slightly hoarse voice, he asked, "How did we get here? Where is this?"
Seeing Qi Rong suddenly let go and seem to relax, Lin Changning continued to tug at Qi Rong's clothes to wipe the still bleeding wound.
Qi Rong's movement as he sat up was too forceful, which aggravated his wound again, causing it to ooze bright red blood once more.
Lin Changning patted Qi Rong's arm reassuringly, frowned, and bent down to wipe the blood from Qi Rong's waist. After gently wiping away the blood, she lowered her long eyelashes and replied, "We both fell into the Yellow River. I was dizzy for a while, but then I quickly woke up and grabbed a dead tree. I happened to see my second brother being pushed ashore by the waves, so I took off my armor, grabbed you, and we got ashore together. Later, we met this kind fisherman's family by the river. The aunt just brought us clothes, and her husband has already gone out to fetch a doctor for us."
Qi Rong nodded, feeling the gentle touch on his waist. "How are your injuries?"
Lin Changning shook his head: "It's nothing serious now. Perhaps the arrow was washed away by the river when he fell. His body has been bandaged and treated with medicine powder. It's just that Second Brother's injury is a bit troublesome."
Lin Changning paused for a moment, frowned, and sprinkled the medicine powder that Shilang had given him onto Qi Rong's wound. But seeing that the powder was soon soaked, he sighed: "Second brother, the arrow that hit you broke off in your flesh. I dare not move it rashly. I can only wait for someone to call the doctor first."
Qi Rong's eyes darkened, and he responded softly. Although Xiao Liu made it sound easy, he remembered that he was unconscious when he fell into the river.
The river was swift, and one huge wave after another knocked him unconscious. He couldn't remember what hit him; he only remembered a wave coming, a sharp pain in the back of his head, and then he knew nothing more.
It's a miracle that someone who was unconscious could survive in the Yellow River. It must have been quite difficult for Xiao Liu to help him climb out of the Yellow River. Qi Rong's heart softened, and his gaze towards Lin Changning became more tender.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Xiao Liu."
Despite being injured himself, he risked his life to rescue him from the Yellow River. Qi Rong felt a sense of gratitude and emotion. Since ancient times, how many people who have been swept away by the Yellow River have survived?
Not to mention that Lin Changning most likely carried him all the way before finding a family to settle him here.
Lin Changning didn't think anything of it and gave the man a smile: "It's nothing, Second Brother. What kind of relationship do we have? No need for such formalities!"
Qi Rong looked at Lin Changning's shoulder, which was bleeding again from the excessive movement, and suddenly sat up, straightening his clothes.
"How are your injuries? Take off your shirt and let your second brother take a look."
Qi Rong saw that Lin Changning spoke lightly, but he was still a little worried, so he thought about checking on Lin Changning's injuries.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lin Changning's phoenix eyes widen in surprise. Lin Changning's smile faded slightly, and he coughed a few times, saying, "Second Brother, my injuries are fine. They've been bandaged and treated with medicine. It's not a big problem. Your injuries are more serious than mine. You should lie down for a while."
Qi Rong wanted to persist, but when he saw Lin Changning press him back onto the bed, tearing at his wound again and making him gasp, he hesitated for a moment, then sighed and lay back down.
Xiao Liu is great in every way, except for his fickle personality.
We're all grown men, and we're even embarrassed to take off our shirts right now, sigh~
She's still too shy.
