Zhou wanted to call Doctor Cao over, "Doctor Cao, please take a look."
Then she took off the bag on her shoulder and took the travel bag from her father's hand. "Dad, go boil some water. Maybe it can be used. Mom, go help too. Don't get in the way here."
After ordering the two adults to leave, Zhou Xiang carried the two bags in his hands into the east room, then turned around and came out again.
Doctor Cao had used a silver needle to stop the blood that was still slowly seeping out of the blind woman's back.
When he saw her coming out, he said to her, "Move the man to the bed, cut open his clothes, and draw his knife!"
"Do you need stitches? Do you need alcohol swabs, bandages, or anything like that?"
"Of course I need it. It's in my medicine cabinet."
Zhou wanted to ask his eldest brother to carry Brother Chao to the bed, and then come over to carry the blind old lady.
Zhou Niao nodded. Zhou wanted to go into the east room, turn on the lights and windows, and then put a clean sheet on the blind lady's bed.
After calling her parents over, several people lifted Zhao Hedi onto the bed.
Zhou Xiangcai returned to the main hall and pulled up his third brother who was still lying on the ground. "Third brother, are you okay?"
Zhou Hua shook his head. "It's okay, but my back hurts."
"I'll ask Doctor Cao to take a look at you later."
"Okay!" Zhou Hua nodded and went back to the west room to relax.
Everyone was busying about, as if they couldn't see Zhou Yiwen. He just stared blankly at the bloodstain on the ground.
When Zhou Xiang entered the east room, Doctor Cao had already cut open the blind woman's clothes on the back of her shoulders, revealing the knife and the exact location of the puncture.
Doctor Cao breathed a sigh of relief. "It's okay. The bone blocked it, so the knife didn't go in too deeply. Zhou wants to help. Those of you who can't help, go do what you need to do. Get some hot water and strong liquor ready for me."
Zhou's father and mother hurried to prepare things. Zhou wanted to ask his eldest brother to look after Chao. "Brother, look after Chao. Tell him to stay in the room on his bed and don't let him run around."
Zhou Niao nodded and left the east room.
"Okay, now that everyone's gone, what should we do?"
"You pull out the knife! Pull it out vertically in the direction it went in."
"good!"
Zhou Xiang tried hard to restrain himself, telling himself that he was a ruthless and indifferent person, and that these were just trivial matters and there was no need to be afraid.
He calmed himself, took a deep breath, and pulled the knife out in one go.
The knife brought out some blood, and some blood flowed from the wound. Doctor Cao gave another injection, and the bleeding stopped.
Zhou Xiang gave him a thumbs up. Doctor Cao's medical skills were very good, but unfortunately, he had no successor.
Zhou's mother came in with strong liquor. Doctor Cao opened his medicine box, took out a cup, tweezers and clamps, poured in the liquor, threw in a few balls of cotton wool, and told Zhou Xiang to wash the blood around the wound.
Zhou Xiang took it and began to scrub the area around the wound. After cleaning it, Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. The wound was not wide, so maybe two stitches would be enough.
Doctor Cao is putting on gloves and threading sutures.
Seeing that Zhou Xiang had finished washing, he asked her to use white wine to clean the things she had just used.
Zhou Xiang went out to pour out the blood in the cup and heard a knock on the door.
He said to the kitchen, "Dad, go open the door and deal with it. Anything else will be dealt with after the blind lady is cured."
Then he went into the east room to help. According to Doctor Cao's instructions, he used his alcohol to clean the blind lady's wound, even inside the wound.
Because there are bacteria on the knife.
Zhou Xiang endured the churning in his stomach and used wet cotton wool to clean the wound that was opened by Doctor Cao.
Zhao Hedi clenched her teeth and couldn't help but groan. Zhou Xiang felt his scalp tingling, it was too bloody.
After it was finally cleaned, Dr. Cao asked her to help and pass things.
Sure enough, the wound was stitched with two stitches. After cleaning the stitched wound again, padding it with gauze and wrapping it with a bandage, Zhou Xiang realized that he was covered in sweat.
After cleaning up the garbage on the bed, Zhou wanted to see Doctor Cao organize his silver needles and medicine box, so he pulled him to the east bedroom.
"Look at him. Does he need ginseng tonic? How? Please prescribe a prescription for both the man inside and this one!"
Doctor Cao then noticed Zhou Chao, who looked like a skeleton. "Why is he like this? Is he suffering from a stomach problem?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head, "He was abused. Feel his pulse first."
Doctor Cao took his pulse and said, "Although he is thin, his pulse is very strong. What supplements did you give him before?"
"No, I just gave him millet porridge and egg custard. I didn't dare to give him any extra nutrition!"
"Then keep eating it. No need for prescriptions. I think the weight will come back in a month."
"Does the patient need a prescription?"
Doctor Cao shook his head. "No need. All medicines are toxic. Just take the same thing as him and he'll be fine."
The two of them chatted as if nothing had happened, not paying any attention to Zhou Chao's struggle on the bed.
Zhou Chao was pinned down on the bed by Zhou Niao, unable to move. He felt powerless and helpless, and only hated himself for being so incompetent.
Seeing that he was struggling so hard, Zhou Xiang told his elder brother to let go. "Brother, let him go! Let him go see Blind Auntie. Brother Chao, the knife is stuck in Blind Auntie's shoulder, so you don't have to worry. You heard it just now. From now on, you and Blind Auntie can just eat together and it will be fine."
Zhou Chao quieted down, "Really?"
Zhou Xiang nodded. "Really? Didn't you see I was very calm? Blind Auntie is fine. She just lost a little blood. She'll be fine after a while."
"Okay! Niao Niao, help me go and take a look!"
Zhou Niao carefully helped him up and carried him to the inner room.
Zhou Xiang pulled Doctor Cao to the west room again, "Look at my third brother. He was giving the last treatment to the patient just now. He said his back hurts."
"Lift up your clothes and show me your back."
Zhou Hua was struggling to lift his clothes. Zhou Xiang became anxious and stepped forward to help him lift them up.
The third brother's entire back was bruised, and Zhou Xiang felt pain just looking at it.
Doctor Cao tried his two arms again and found that they were not twisted, but he was afraid to lift his arms because of the sling.
"It's okay! Just apply some medicinal wine. I don't have any here, so you can go to the pharmacy and buy some."
"Medicinal wine takes too long to cure. The man next door had swollen soles of his feet, and it seemed to be cured in three days with Chinese medicine."
"That's for sprains and bruises. This is different. He doesn't need to recover so quickly. There's too much blood stasis, so it has to dissipate slowly."
Zhou Xiang nodded, it seemed to make sense.
Doctor Cao was arranged to sit in the main room, and Zhou Xiang went to the east room.
"Blind Auntie, Brother Chao, are you going to sue my uncle? Someone outside must have called the police."
Zhao Hedi shook her head. "Forget it. This knife is the end of it! From now on, I won't feel like I owe him anything."
Zhou Chao also nodded in agreement.
"Okay, Brother Chao, go back to the house. I'll help the blind lady clean up."
Zhou Xiang asked his mother to get some warm water, and he cut off all the clothes on the blind lady. Then he used a clean towel dipped in water to wipe off the blood stains on the blind lady's body.
Find her clothes and put them on her carefully. "When the police come to question you, just say you were just scratched by a knife."
Zhao Hedi nodded.
