"There's no use thinking about it now. We'll figure something out after their verdict. Maybe when they come back we'll be stronger and no longer afraid of anyone's revenge," Shen Xiaoxiao said confidently.
"Oh, brother, you've come at the perfect time! I've collected quite a few common medicinal herbs today. I was originally planning to store them in my spatial storage, but now that you're here, we can carry them down the mountain together."
As Shen Xiaoxiao changed the subject, her eyes darted around cautiously, glancing around warily. Only after confirming that no one was around did she carefully take the precious medicinal herbs out of her spatial storage.
The piles of fresh medicinal herbs emitted a faint, pleasant fragrance that soothed the soul. The brother and sister, each carrying a basket full of herbs, set off on their way home, chatting and laughing.
Along the way, birds sang merrily, and a gentle breeze caressed their faces, as if everything was so beautiful and peaceful.
Before long, the two arrived home. As soon as Shen Xiaoxiao entered the courtyard, she couldn't wait to start sorting the medicinal herbs she had just picked.
Just then, a series of urgent knocks sounded on the door: "Little Xiao, little girl, is anyone home?"
Upon hearing the sound, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly put down what she was doing and ran to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, the brigade leader's wife, Lin Xier, stood anxiously at the door, her forehead covered in sweat.
"Oh dear, little girl, this is terrible! Someone in our village is injured, and the injury looks quite serious! You must come with me quickly and help me see if there's any way to heal him!"
Lin Xier held Shen Xiaoxiao's small hand tightly, her face full of anxiety, and her voice trembled slightly with nervousness.
When Shen Xiaoxiao was pulled by Lin Xier, she was slightly taken aback at first, but she quickly calmed down and hurriedly said to comfort her, "Grandma Lin, don't worry, I'll go inside and get my medicine box right away."
"Let's set off immediately to see what's going on. On the way, you'll have to tell me in detail what happened."
"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but I heard from others that it was an accident that happened when the person was working on the mountain and wasn't paying attention."
As Lin Xier spoke, she kept patting her thigh with her hand, looking extremely worried.
"Alright, just wait here for a moment." After saying that, Shen Xiaoxiao turned around and rushed into the house like a whirlwind.
She went straight to where the medicine box was, quickly picked it up and carried it on her back. The whole process was done in one go, taking less than a minute.
Immediately afterwards, she dashed out of the house like an arrow released from a bow.
"Alright, Grandma Lin, let's go!" Shen Xiaoxiao carried the medical kit and walked briskly forward.
Seeing this, Lin Xier hurriedly followed, and the two of them rushed towards the location of the injured person.
Shen Xiaochuan stood quietly to the side, listening to their conversation without interrupting.
His gaze followed the two figures as they hurriedly ran out of the room. Once they disappeared from sight, he quickly moved forward, nimbly closed the door, and then followed closely behind them.
The two men sped off like arrows released from a bow, their speed astonishing.
Before long, they were already out of breath, but they still ran towards the large group of people ahead without slowing down.
As they approached the crowd, Lin Xier forcefully pushed aside the people around her to clear a path for Shen Xiaoxiao.
Those who were pushed aside initially had some dissatisfaction and complaints, but when they saw that the person who came was Shen Xiaoxiao, they all shut their mouths and stopped talking.
After all, news of Shen Xiaoxiao's successful acquisition of the barefoot doctor's certificate had already spread far and wide, and everyone was full of curiosity and anticipation for her medical skills. Naturally, they all wanted to witness it with their own eyes.
And so, a magical scene unfolded: the crowded people, as if by telepathy, spontaneously parted to the sides, creating a straight and wide path in the middle.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoxiao stepped forward without hesitation and soon arrived at the center of the crowd.
She looked closely and saw that Shen Qin was lying on the ground in pain, groaning incessantly, with large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead and soaking his hair.
Looking further down, one could see that his legs were covered in blood, soaking wet, clearly indicating a serious injury.
"Uncle Qin, please bear with me for a moment. I need to cut off this piece of your pants so I can check the wound."
While gently comforting Shen Qin, Shen Xiaoxiao deftly took out a large pair of scissors from her medical kit.
With one snip of the scissors, the edges of the pants were cut off. Some fabric was stuck to the flesh, and it would hurt a lot if you tore it even slightly, but the bleeding wouldn't stop even if you didn't tear it.
"Could any kind old lady please fetch a basin of hot water and a clean cloth while you're at it?"
While anxiously tending to the injured person's wounds, Shen Xiaoxiao shouted loudly. Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on her forehead, but her hands were busy without stopping for a moment.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xier quickly looked around and found no one responding. So, she gritted her teeth and stepped forward: "This place is quite close to my house; I'll go back and get some hot water and a clean cloth!"
Before she finished speaking, the woman, who was over 50 years old, ran out like a gust of wind.
Not long after, Lin Xier came running, panting, carrying a basin of steaming hot water and clutching a clean, snow-white cloth tightly in her hand.
Without taking a break, she walked straight to Shen Xiaoxiao and handed her the things.
Then she plopped down on the ground, too lazy to get up. "I'm exhausted. I ran to call Xiaoxiao to treat her injuries, then ran back with her, and then had to run home to fetch water. You people! All you know how to do is watch the show."
The villagers laughed sheepishly.
"Uncle Qin, your wound is too serious. If it is not treated quickly, you may be in danger of losing your life due to excessive blood loss. So please bear with the pain."
Shen Xiaoxiao spoke to the injured man with a serious expression. However, before Uncle Qin could respond, she quickly stuffed the clean cloth into his mouth without hesitation to prevent him from biting his tongue due to the pain.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Xiaoxiao deftly tore off the old cloth covering the wound, which was already stained red with blood.
In an instant, a long, gruesome wound was revealed, so deep that the bone seemed to be visible, and blood was still seeping out.
