Upon witnessing such a horrifying scene, the villagers gasped in shock, some even turning away in fear, unable to bear watching any longer.
At this moment, Shen Xiaoxiao noticed that more and more villagers were approaching, curious and wanting to come closer to find out what was going on.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly shouted, "Fellow villagers, please move a little further away, okay? With so many people gathered here, the air can't circulate at all, and the number of bacteria will also increase."
"Uncle Qin's wound is so big now, it would be troublesome if it got infected!" Hearing this, the villagers who were originally huddled together slowly retreated as if they had just woken up from a dream.
"Alright, everyone, let's all move aside quickly!" the villagers shouted as they stepped back to make room for the upcoming rescue.
"Uncle Qin, the situation is really urgent right now, there's no time to take you to the clinic. Look how big your wound is, and it's bleeding nonstop, we need to find a way to stop the bleeding first."
"Besides, it's inconvenient for you to move inside like this, so I'm afraid you'll have to lie here for a while. Don't worry, my skills are good." Shen Xiaoxiao said in one breath.
At this moment, Shen Qin's face was as pale as paper, but he still managed to force a weak smile, looked at Shen Xiaoxiao in front of him, and gently comforted her, "Little girl, do it. Uncle trusts you. You treat her."
Shen Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and no longer hesitated.
She quickly opened the box beside her and took out a set of gleaming silver needles. Then, with practiced skill, she accurately inserted the needles into the acupoints on Shen Qin's injured leg.
As time passed, the slender silver needles gradually sank into Shen Qin's body.
Soon, the bleeding from the wound, which had been gushing blood, began to decrease significantly.
Before long, the wound stopped bleeding completely, as if by magic.
The villagers watching from a distance had been anxiously observing the situation. Several sharp-eyed individuals were the first to notice that the wound had stopped bleeding, and they exclaimed with surprise and joy, "Look! It's stopped bleeding! It's amazing!"
However, Shen Xiaoxiao was not distracted by the crowd's amazement at all; she continued to concentrate on her work.
After confirming that the wound had stopped bleeding, she carefully wiped away the surrounding bloodstains.
Then, she looked up and said to Shen Qin with some hesitation, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I don't have any alcohol here to disinfect for you."
"However, I've concocted my own wound medicine, and it should be quite effective. I just don't know if you'd dare to use it..."
Shen Qin gritted his teeth. Although the excruciating pain from his wound caused cold sweat to pour down his forehead, he still nodded firmly and replied, "You've stopped the bleeding, little girl. How could I not dare to use your medicine? Just apply the medicine with confidence!"
After saying that, he gave Chen Xiaoxiao a trusting look.
Shen Xiaoxiao was also very quick; before he could speak again, she poured the medicine directly onto his wound.
Shen Xiaoxiao gently opened the small box, her gaze falling on a roll of clean white gauze.
This roll of gauze was the one she got at the hospital when she was accidentally injured last time. Now, it will be useful again.
She carefully took out the roll of gauze, slowly unrolled it, and then gently covered Uncle Qin's wound.
She carefully wrapped it around, round and round.
"Uncle Qin, your wound has been bandaged. However, you must not exert too much force during this time, otherwise the wound may burst open."
"Also, you need to go to the hospital to get a tetanus shot as soon as possible, since your wound was cut by a rusty knife."
As she spoke, Shen Xiaoxiao deftly removed the silver needles that had been inserted into Uncle Qin's leg to stop the bleeding, one by one.
Uncle Qin looked at Shen Xiaoxiao's actions with gratitude in his eyes: "Okay, girl, I'll do whatever you say! Once your Aunt Qin brings the money from home, we'll go to the hospital right away."
Shen Xiaoxiao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sweet smile like spring flowers in bloom. She nodded gently and said, "That's good, Uncle Qin. Please don't be so formal with me. It's just a small favor, really nothing big."
At that moment, a simple and honest smile slowly bloomed on Uncle Qin's weathered face, which was etched with the marks of time.
He looked at Shen Xiaoxiao with gentle eyes, his gratitude overflowing: "Little girl, we really owe you a lot this time!"
"Look how badly my leg is injured; it's making it difficult for me to move around. The day I can walk again, I absolutely must visit you in person to thank you properly!"
Shen Xiaoxiao quickly waved her hand and replied sincerely, "Oh, Uncle Qin, we are all neighbors living in the same village. It's only right that we help each other. Don't worry about it."
After saying that, she picked up the small, exquisite medicine box that was placed to the side and prepared to get up and leave.
Upon seeing this, Shen Xiaochuan, who had been watching silently from the side, quickly stepped forward and took the slightly heavy medicine box from his sister's hands.
Just then, the sound of approaching hooves reached everyone's ears.
It turned out that the brigade leader had rushed over in a dilapidated oxcart. However, everyone looked around but couldn't find Aunt Qin anywhere.
"Why hasn't Aunt Qin arrived yet? Time waits for no one! Let's not wait for her any longer. Let's hurry to the hospital."
"Come on, everyone, lend a hand and lift him onto the oxcart," the brigade leader shouted.
Two strong and sturdy young men came up.
"Be careful not to touch his injured leg, go slowly," it took a while to lift the man onto the oxcart.
“Little girl, why don’t you come with us? If we encounter any problems along the way, it will be good to have someone to look after each other.”
As the captain spoke, he looked down to check Uncle Qin's leg wound. The wound hadn't reopened and was bandaged very well, which eased his tense nerves a little.
Shen Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then nodded lightly and softly replied, "Alright!"
Just then, a figure leaped lightly onto the oxcart like a nimble monkey.
It was Shen Xiaochuan. He looked at everyone with a determined expression and said loudly, "I'm really worried about my sister going to town with two grown men like you, so I have to go with her!"
