"Ah!!! Is anyone there? Please, God, send a god to save my husband!"
"Brother Xie, Brother Xie, you can't faint! I can't carry you, waaaaah..."
Just as Lin Xue snapped the bird's neck and threw it into her basket, she suddenly heard a woman calling for help from the ravine to the side.
Judging from the voice, the other person must be in a hurry. Without thinking too much, Lin Xue quickly ran towards the direction from which the sound came.
After passing through a bamboo grove, we soon came across two people at the bottom of the ravine.
One of the men's feet appeared to have been pierced by a sharp weapon, and a woman was kneeling beside him, calling out helplessly.
"Have we stepped into a hunter's trap?"
Lin Xue walked closer and saw that the man's foot had been pierced by a sharp bamboo sliver.
Blood was spurting out at that moment.
It looks... somewhat frightening!
"Yes, I don't know who came into our hunting area and dug a trap. My husband accidentally stepped into it and fell in!"
"And that's how it turned out."
The woman spoke while wiping away tears, her heart filled with anxiety and urgency.
But her husband was strong and muscular, while this woman was petite and delicate.
With her limited strength, it would be difficult for her to carry the man down the mountain to see a doctor for his foot injury.
"If you trust me, let me show this to the old man!"
"I have some medicinal herbs at home. Would you like to go and get them for me, or would you like someone from your family to go?"
Lin Xue took out a bunch of keys from her pocket and found one of them that was tied with a red string.
"My home is not far away. Let's help my husband to my house first, and then I'll go to your house to get the medicine!"
The woman knew from the direction Lin Xue pointed that she came from Qingshan Village.
Qingshan Village is the closest village to their home.
The woman was also very familiar with that area.
"Let me use acupressure to stop the bleeding!"
Lin Xue did not immediately help the man on the ground, but instead pressed a few acupoints on him.
The man, who had been in so much pain that he was pale and speechless, suddenly felt that the pain in his foot had lessened and instead felt a tingling sensation, like the numbness that occurs when someone squats on the ground for a long time.
"Thank you, little girl!"
"Your medical skills are truly remarkable, far superior to that of the old Dr. Zhang from before!"
The man was dangling on one leg, supported by people on both sides, and he could also use one leg to gain some leverage.
The three of them quickly arrived at the hunter's house. The woman took the key to Lin Xue's house, asked for the address, and then hurried off towards the mountains.
Lin Xue took out a cloth bag from her basket, inside which was a set of silver needles.
Of course, the cloth bag wasn't in her basket at first; she only put it in after hearing someone calling for help.
As for medicinal herbs, they are inconvenient to carry around, and carrying them would give people a strange feeling.
Who goes up the mountain to find mushrooms and wild vegetables and carries medicinal herbs with them?
"Let me stop the bleeding first, and then I'll remove the bamboo stick from your foot after the aunt brings the medicine box!"
Lin Xue found a low stool and let the uncle put his feet on it, then went to the kitchen to boil a large pot of water.
The water had just boiled when the auntie rushed back in a flurry.
She was also carrying a small medicine box on her back.
"Hey sis, I've brought the first-aid kit. Hurry up and let my man take a look!"
Lin Xue first put the medicine box on the ground, then asked the aunt to bring a basin of hot water and first cleaned the area around the uncle's foot wound.
Because the wound is controlled by silver needles, the bleeding has stopped, but once the silver needles are removed, the wound will probably start bleeding again.
After cleaning the dirt off her feet, Lin Xue used hydrogen peroxide to wash away the leaves and dirt stuck to the wound.
Then he took a square handkerchief from the medicine box, folded it up, and stuffed it into the uncle's mouth.
"I've put some anesthetic on you, so it shouldn't hurt much, but just in case, bite down on this first!"
The older woman standing nearby held onto her husband's shoulder, not daring to even look at him now.
Instead, the older man looked at his feet with curiosity.
Although the foot looked bloody, the uncle didn't seem scared at all.
Perhaps because he was a hunter, he was used to bloodshed and probably saw many prey pierced by bamboo strips, so he wasn't as timid as his wife.
"Holy crap, how did such a huge eagle come flying down from the sky?!"
Suddenly, Lin Xue looked up and exclaimed loudly.
The two people, each on edge, instinctively looked up at the sky.
"Where are the eagles?"
"Little sister, are you sure you're not mistaken? That's just a wild bird, not an eagle."
When the couple looked down at Lin Xue, they discovered that the bamboo stick stuck in the man's foot had been removed.
"That's because I was afraid you'd be scared if you saw it. Looks like my anesthetic worked well; you didn't feel a thing!"
It's not that they really feel nothing at all, but after the anesthetic is applied, the man only experiences a tingling or itchy sensation, and has no other sensations.
Lin Xue's words had drawn his attention away, which is why he missed the sensation in his feet.
When I came to my senses, even with the anesthesia, it still hurt a bit.
However, the pain was not as intense as when I was first injured.
It means you can clearly feel the wound on your foot and know that the area should hurt, which is why you feel pain.
To put it bluntly, it's all psychological.
