Chapter 7 Unexpected Surgery
Seeing Xiao Zhuo like this, Shen Yuexi hurried to him. He had his eyes tightly closed, his lips pursed, his face as pale as paper, and his body shaky.
She knew something was wrong and was about to reach out to pull him, but Xiao Zhuo had already fallen backwards.
Shen Yuexi was shocked. If Xiao Zhuo fell down like this, wouldn't the arrow in his back be inserted deeper?
She knelt on her knees in a hurry and used her body to block Xiao Zhuo.
Although Xiao Zhuo is very thin now, it is still not light at all for a woman like her, and the blow hits her hard.
Shen Yuexi was pressed down by Xiao Zhuo and suddenly felt that she couldn't breathe, but she had no time to care. She pushed Xiao Zhuo's shoulders with both hands and made him lie sideways on her legs.
At least the arrow shaft behind him didn't stick into the ground.
She let out a long breath and put her hand under his nose to test him. He was still breathing.
It should be the coma caused by the arrow wound.
This matter must be dealt with as a priority and cannot wait any longer.
She immediately called the universal fabricator: "Big Bear, quickly make some powder to stop the bleeding."
If the arrow is pulled out, the wound will begin to bleed, and the bleeding must be stopped immediately. This cave is used by herbalists to shelter from the rain, hoping that the herbs inside will contain the ingredients needed for hemostatic medicine.
"Dear Master, collecting the raw materials needed for the hemostatic powder... Progress 100%, collection complete."
"Making hemostatic powder. Finished."
Hemostatic powder appeared in her hand, and Big Bear also made an extra piece of paper to hold the powder.
Gritting her teeth, she lifted up Xiao Zhuo's clothes from behind, grasped the arrow stuck in his flesh with her hands, and gently pulled it out. However, she found that the arrow seemed to have taken root and could not be pulled out at all.
Although she is a researcher and does not know much about medicine, she still knows some common sense.
Ancient arrows all had barbs, and if you pulled them out forcefully, you might cause more serious injuries. The best way now is to use a small knife to cut open the red and swollen tissue around the wound, so that you can pull out the arrow.
Without further ado, she rolled up her sleeves, turned around, picked up the steel knife that Xiao Zhuo had dropped on the ground and put it aside.
The knife was too big for her to use, but she could use the Omni-Maker to make a small knife to work with.
"Big Bear, make a small knife."
"Dear Master, I'm collecting the raw materials for the knife... Progress 100%... Collection Completed!"
"Making a knife, finished!"
As Big Bear finished speaking, a light, thin, sharp knife appeared in her hand.
Shen Yuexi wiped the sweat from her forehead and gritted her teeth. She had never done such a thing in her previous life. As the saying goes, different trades are like different mountains. To say that she is not nervous is a lie.
Take a deep breath, prepare yourself mentally, and be ready to cut open the red and swollen skin with a knife.
However, when she grasped the arrow shaft, she found that it was inexplicably loose. She pulled it out easily with a simple pull.
When I held the arrow shaft upright in front of my eyes, I saw that the arrowhead was gone... No wonder it was so easy to pull out.
After throwing the arrow shaft into the fire as firewood, she picked up the steel knife on the ground and looked at it carefully. She finally confirmed that the universal manufacturing machine used the arrowhead in Xiao Zhuo's body as raw material to make a knife.
Unexpectedly, what she considered a big problem was actually solved cleverly by Big Bear.
Without further ado, she quickly poured hemostatic powder on the wound that was bleeding.
At this time, Xiao Zhuo, who was lying on her legs, moved.
Supporting the back of his neck with her arm, she helped Xiao Zhuo sit up and said, "Husband, you just fainted."
Xiao Zhuo sat up straight, raised his right arm and turned his shoulder, a hint of surprise in his eyes, and asked, "The arrowhead is gone?"
"Ah...husband, the situation was critical at the time," Shen Yuexi rolled her eyes, "I...I just tried to find a way to pull the arrow out."
She didn't want to reveal the secret of the universal manufacturing machine easily.
Xiao Zhuo looked at her again, his eyes already filled with inquiry: "This kind of wolf tooth arrow can only be handled by a doctor who is skilled in this field."
The meaning was very clear. He was praising Shen Yuexi for being able to treat arrow wounds as a woman.
Shen Yuexi felt a little embarrassed, but she actually didn't do anything.
She felt her face getting hot, and quickly said to Xiao Zhuo, "Husband, I used the herbs in the cave to make some hemostatic powder. How does the wound feel now?"
Xiao Zhuo raised his right arm and said, "If the arrowhead was still in the flesh, the slightest movement would have caused extreme pain. Now that the arrow is out, although there is still pain, it is bearable."
Shen Yuexi turned behind him and found that the bleeding from the wound had stopped. She said happily, "Husband, your wound has stopped bleeding. Don't move around, or it will burst open. There is a stream not far from the cave. I'll go out and get some water."
Xiao Zhuo nodded, revealing a rare smile, and said, "Yuexi, I'll wait for you here."
This was the first time Xiao Zhuo called her by her name. Shen Yuexi was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "There is no need for thanks between you and me."
Isn't it right to help each other on the way to escape?
Xiao Zhuo looked at her with a burning gaze, but when Shen Yuexi looked over, he quickly regained his composure.
She picked up the bowl from the ground and walked out of the cave.
The rain had completely stopped. The pursuers seemed to have given up their search. There was no fire or human voices around. A gust of wind rustled the leaves. The stream nearby gurgled, making the dense forest seem even more tranquil.
She touched her forehead and found that the fever had subsided at some point.
As soon as the fever symptoms disappeared, the numb feeling that had once been there immediately came back.
The first thing is that I feel very uncomfortable, and hunger is secondary.
Her soaked clothes clung to her body, dripping wet. She had been exiled for half a month without a single wash or grooming appointment, and the musty odor on her body made her want to vomit.
It's just too dirty and intolerable.
Shen Yuexi was a clean person before she traveled through time, and she remained the same after she traveled through time.
The desire to cleanse herself overwhelmed her fear of the dark, and she followed the sound of the stream with the bowl and climbed over a gentle slope.
In the moonlight, she saw that the rainwater gathered into a mountain spring, winding down from the top of the hillside and forming a small pool in the low-lying area.
She was overjoyed. She sat down by the pool, took off her muddy shoes, stretched out her dirty legs to take a look, and called the universal manufacturing machine first.
"Big Bear, make a bucket, the kind used by farmers in ancient times."
"Dear Master, collecting the raw materials needed for the bucket... Progress 100%... Raw materials collected."
"Buckets are being made, finished!"
Shen Yuexi put the bucket into the water, first brought up a bucket of clean spring water and placed it on the shore. Only then did she safely immerse her legs in the spring water.
As soon as her legs were immersed in the water, she was stung and grimaced, and quickly lifted her legs to look.
The spring water had washed away the mud on her legs, and there were several thin bloodstains on her white calves.
I was so focused on escaping that I had no idea how many small wounds I had gotten from branches along the way. Now that I was relaxed, the pain was evident.
Although compared to Xiao Zhuo, this minor injury was nothing, but she was still a delicate young lady, so how could she have suffered such a serious injury?
But wounds aside, she couldn't stand the musty smell on her body. No matter how painful it was, she had to take a shower, or else she would be suffocated to death.
She quickly took off her clothes and jumped into the pool to rinse.
Worried that Xiao Zhuo would be worried if she stayed outside for too long, she finished everything quickly.
After taking a cold shower, she felt much fresher. She rinsed her clothes and shoes in the water to wash off the mud and water. She put them back on, picked up the bucket and hurried back.
Who knows what dangers are waiting for me in this dark jungle, so I have to hold on to Xiao Zhuo tightly no matter what.
