Lu Qiqi lifted the curtain and stepped out. The morning light was faint, and the occasional bird call could be heard from afar.
The pillars and the mounds stood on either side of the tent, like two Guan Yu statues, which almost scared her out of her wits!
Lu Qiqi remembered that she had asked Zhuzi and Dunzi to guard outside the door to prevent villagers from bringing in bacteria.
She covered her mouth and yawned; she hadn't slept all night and was now feeling a little sleepy.
Then he instructed Zhuzi and Dunzi, "Your master is alright for now. It's hot today, so wipe his body down and make sure there's good ventilation. Don't cover him up. Keep a close eye on his temperature. If there are signs of fever, apply cold water to his forehead, and wipe his palms and knees. At this time, you absolutely cannot hold back the water, or he'll die, and you won't have the chance to use it again!"
Zhu Zi and Dun Zi nodded in agreement, and then entered the tent one after the other.
When the villagers saw Lu Qiqi come out, they quickly surrounded her. Everyone was curious about how Lu Qiqi had managed to snatch someone from the jaws of death and the clutches of the King of Hell.
Li Shoucai was the first to ask, "Girl, this person is covered in blood and his intestines are coming out, can he still be saved?"
"Yes, I think Chef Liu is barely clinging to life; he can't even speak anymore!"
"To be able to save her, could the Lu family girl be a miracle worker descended from heaven?!"
Lu Qiqi smiled and explained to the villagers, "If the bleeding is not severe and the infected area is not large, there is still a chance of survival. Generally, the highest mortality rate is caused by severe bleeding, bacterial infection and inflammation, and missing the best treatment time for such injuries."
The villagers didn't understand anything about bacteria or infection; they just thought Lu Qiqi was amazing, even more capable than the resident doctor!
Lu Qiqi found Lu Dahai and the others, and discovered that Lu Dahai's calf had been cut. She quickly took out spiritual spring water to wash it, and then applied the wound medicine she had scavenged from the bandits.
Li Changlong also had a cut on his forearm, and Lu Qiqi applied ointment to it as well. What surprised her the most was that Li Qingshan was completely unharmed.
After treating their injuries, Lu Qiqi learned that several villagers had died the night before, and she felt a little sorry for them.
I also saw that the villagers had all sustained injuries, more or less.
There was only half a bottle of wound medicine left, which Lu Qiqi gave to Li Dashun, who was more seriously injured. He had lost too much blood, and his lips were almost transparent.
Aunt Zhao was crying while holding her child. She took the wound medicine from Lu Qiqi as if it were a lifeline. After thanking Lu Qiqi, she quickly applied it to Li Dashun.
The weather is too hot now, and wounds are prone to infection. The villagers' wounds must be treated with hemostatic and bruise-reducing medicine!
Lu Qiqi found the village chief and told him that she wanted to take some people to the forest to find some herbs to treat the villagers' injuries.
The village chief had heard early on that Lu Qiqi had pulled Liu Tong back from the brink of death, so he immediately sent several uninjured villagers to go and search for him.
Just as Lu Qiqi and her men were about to set off to find medicinal herbs, Song Yanqing returned with his men after dealing with the Tartar corpses.
Looking at the group of people behind Lu Qiqi, who were carrying hoes and shovels and had bamboo baskets on their backs, Song Yanqing asked, "Where are you going with so many people?"
Lu Qiqi said, "The villagers have all been injured to some extent. I'll take some people to gather some herbs to treat their wounds."
Song Yanqing immediately said, "I'll go with you!"
Seeing Song Yanqing's expression, which left no room for refusal, Lu Qiqi didn't refuse again. She turned to walk into the woods, but was stopped by Feng Yu'er, "Qiqi, take me with you when you gather herbs. I also want to do my part for the villagers!"
As Lu Qiqi turned her head, Feng Yuer ran up to her.
Lu Qiqi was overjoyed when she saw the red fruit on Feng Yuer's head. She asked, "Where did you get that red fruit on your head?"
On Feng Yu'er's head were red berries, each the size of a wild grape, somewhat resembling the red berries of Panax notoginseng!
Both the fruit and roots of Panax notoginseng can be used to treat and stop bleeding. With it, the villagers have a way to treat their injuries!
Feng Yu'er didn't know what the red fruit she used as a hairpin was for; she just thought it looked pretty, so she wore it.
Feng Yu'er picked a red fruit and handed it to Lu Qiqi, saying, "There were many in the woods where we hid last night. I picked them because they looked pretty."
Lu Qiqi took the red fruit, confirmed that it was the Sanqi she was looking for, and said, "Take us there!"
Upon arrival, just as Feng Yu'er had said, there were many Panax notoginseng trees. The small valleys in the forest were lush and green, and the bright red fruits swayed in the breeze.
Lu Qiqi smiled broadly and pointed to a patch of Panax notoginseng, saying, "This is the Panax notoginseng I'm looking for. The fruit, leaves, stems, and roots of Panax notoginseng can all be used as medicine. The roots have the best hemostatic effect. We don't have time to process the others, so we only need the roots."
There's a saying that goes, "Panax notoginseng is like a herb after two years, but a treasure after three years," meaning that Panax notoginseng only becomes effective after a certain number of years, ideally three to seven years.
Lu Qiqi took a hoe and dug up several Panax notoginseng plants, sorting them by year and showing them to the group, teaching them how to dig up valuable Panax notoginseng.
The group put down their bamboo baskets and started digging enthusiastically. They dug for a whole morning and dug up eight large baskets of Panax notoginseng!
When Lu Qiqi and the villagers returned, they had a basketful of Panax notoginseng washed. They specifically instructed that it must be washed thoroughly, otherwise applying it to the wound with mud would not only fail to stop the bleeding and heal the wound, but could also infect the wound and worsen the condition, which would be putting the cart before the horse!
Lu Qiqi had been busy all night and all morning, and was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back. She groaned as she walked to Li Shi's side, and Li Shi handed her and Song Yanqing a white sugar bun and a bowl of water each.
Seeing that Lu Qiqi was covered in blood, Li knew she wasn't injured, but it was still frightening. She told her to finish her meal and change her clothes quickly.
After eating and drinking her fill, Lu Qiqi took a set of clothes, went into an empty tent, and then entered her spatial dimension.
Last night, after killing the Tartars and stitching up Liu Tong's wounds, my clothes were covered in blood and I was sweating profusely. I just couldn't take it anymore!
Lu Qiqi entered the small wooden house, which had a small room containing a wooden barrel.
Lu Qiqi made a water-drawing device using a windmill in the small room. There were two ropes, one on the left and one on the right. Pulling down the right rope would draw in water, and pulling down the right rope would cut off the water flow. This way, she wouldn't have to go outside to fetch water from the stream to bathe.
After taking a refreshing bath, Lu Qiqi came out and arrived at the tiger's territory. Two tiger cubs ran straight towards her. Lu Qiqi was overjoyed and reached out to pick them up, but the two little ones circled around Lu Qiqi anxiously.
Lu Qiqi named them: the white one was called Snowball, and the yellow and white one was called Rainbow.
Both cubs are male tigers. Rainbow was initially reluctant, but after Lu Qiqi fed her two mouthfuls of spiritual spring water, she was willing to do anything!
Snowball bit Lu Qiqi's trouser leg, intending to take her into the woods.
When they arrived at the big tree where the three tigers often slept, the two tiger cubs circled around Lu Qiqi while barking fiercely in their cute way.
Lu Qiqi suddenly remembered that the tiger mother was still in the forest and hadn't been brought back!
