Perhaps because of the rejuvenation medicine they had taken, Su Nian and Chu Beichen slept very soundly that night. When they woke up, Chu Beichen's high-end automatic watch showed that it was already past eight in the morning.
The snowstorm stopped these two days, but the wind was still bitingly cold, and even the sunshine had no warmth. Everything between the sky and the earth seemed to be frozen stiff. The ground was covered with a thick layer of white snow, and every tree and every branch on the ground was covered with a thick layer of frost.
Seeing the weather like this, Chu Beichen still decided to continue hunting. No one knew when the blizzard would come.
Because they encountered a herd of antelopes on the route they took yesterday, Su Nian and Chu Beichen decided to try their luck on that road again today. If that doesn't work, they can go fishing in Silver Lake.
With yesterday's experience, Chu Beichen's sled driving skills were more proficient today. After turning the corner, he wanted to let the sled speed up, but suddenly he saw another sled pulled by a deer in front, but this sled was parked on the side of the road, as if it had encountered trouble.
"Su Nian, let's go and take a look," Chu Beichen stopped the sled and jumped down with Su Nian to check on the other party's situation.
The other party's sled was also pulled by four deer. The difference from Su Nian and the others was that there was a tall, long-haired dog next to the sled. The dog did not bark, but just looked at Su Nian and Chu Beichen with vigilant eyes.
A young man was lying on the sled. Su Nian discovered that the men in this place seemed to have no habit of shaving, so no matter whether they were old or young, they all looked quite haggard.
The young man was lying on the sled, but he was still conscious. His right leg was bleeding, staining the white snow underneath the sled red.
"Oh, who are you? It doesn't matter, help me, I'm hurt!" The young man asked for help anxiously.
Su Nian took off his gloves and helped the young man check his injuries. The young man had a penetrating wound on his right thigh, and it looked like the wound was caused by his own spear.
Just as Su Nian was about to stop the young man's bleeding, he said anxiously, "I see. You are the two outsiders in the village, right? Take me to the witch doctor!"
Su Nian hesitated for a moment. If she was the one to suppress the bleeding, the bleeding would stop more thoroughly and the wound would heal faster. However, Chu Beichen stopped her with his eyes. She was a newcomer here, so who knew what the rules were in this place?
Su Nian thought about it and agreed, so he obediently lifted the young man onto his sled.
The people here are very tough. Even after suffering such a serious injury, the young man was still interested in talking. "Are you used to life here? What do you think of Donghuo Village?"
"Not bad," Chu Beichen replied simply, and got on the sled and prepared to set off.
The young man whistled, and his elk turned and ran after the sled.
This made Su Nian very envious, "Your deer training is pretty good!"
"Of course, my grandfather is the best reindeer reindeer expert here," the young man was very proud. However, when he thought that although he could reindeer, his hunting skills were not very good, his expression couldn't help but dim.
As they were talking, the sled had already arrived at the village, and Chu Beichen took the young man to the witch doctor's house.
The witch doctor was obviously used to helping the villagers treat various wounds. He skillfully took out a branding iron, found the young man's wound, and prepared to use the branding iron to stop the bleeding.
Seeing this, Su Nian couldn't help herself any longer. "If you use the soldering iron directly on the wound, it will easily get infected. You should clean it first!"
The witch doctor looked at Su Nian in surprise and said, "You are a woman, how do you know how to treat wounds?"
Su Nian keenly grasped the meaning of the witch doctor's words. She meant that women in this place would not engage in medical professions.
Chu Beichen quickly said, "There are doctors in my wife's family too!"
"I see!" The witch doctor nodded. "To be honest, I've been using branding irons to stop bleeding for years. Just like you said, the wound does rot, and I don't know why. Since you said you want to clean it, I'll come and see how you treat the wound today!"
Hearing the witch doctor say this, the injured young man became furious. After all, the witch doctor had been treating them for many years, while Su Nian was a newcomer and a woman. "You can't let a woman treat me!"
The witch doctor was very open-minded. "Why are you in such a hurry? They're from the south bank of the Gangwa River. The economy there is more developed than ours, and their medical skills are also more advanced. Maybe she can see better than me."
The young man was very uneasy, "What if she doesn't see it as well as you do?"
While the two were talking, Su Nian had already taken out the medical kit she carried with her. The box was very small and contained her silver needles and disinfectant.
At this moment, the blood in the wound had coagulated. Su Nian simply wiped the wound with disinfectant and began to treat it with acupuncture.
The witch doctor was very studious. He stared at Su Nian's movements carefully with wide eyes and asked a question or two from time to time.
Su Nian didn't carry much disinfectant with her, so she focused her treatment on acupuncture. To Su Nian's surprise, the witch doctor's understanding of acupuncture was actually better than that of ordinary people.
Su Nian only needed to give a few simple pointers, and the witch doctor was able to understand the key to treatment.
After seeing Su Nian finish her treatment, the witch doctor was able to summarize her treatment, "Your treatment method stimulates the potential of the human body and allows people to recover as quickly as possible through their own body power!"
Su Nian nodded, "Human potential is unlimited!"
The young man was relieved when he saw the witch doctor's expression. To be honest, Su Nian's hand was very gentle and he didn't feel any pain during the entire treatment.
After the treatment, with Wu Yi's help, the few of them sent the young man back home and took his elk and hunting dog back with them.
The young man had an old man at home. After seeing this situation, he thanked the people profusely.
After leaving the young man's house, I briefly told him about his situation. It turned out that his grandfather was the most famous reindeer trainer in the area. However, he was old now and could no longer go out hunting. The young man's parents had an accident at this time, and only the grandfather and grandson were left at home.
The young man had no choice but to go out hunting on his own, but he ended up hurting himself due to his clumsiness.
"I have to talk to the village chief about this and see if he can find a few people to help the grandfather and grandson get some prey!" The witch doctor was very enthusiastic and left in a hurry after saying this.
Su Nian and Chu Beichen were delayed for a while, but they did not go home. They knew that if it was only early winter now, the weather would only get worse, so they should collect as much food as possible while they could still go out.
