Lu Lin has a fever, and his wound is clearly infected.
If a wound infection causes a fever, and if it is not treated promptly, necrosis can occur, making it very difficult to treat.
Su Wan didn't know how long this person had been in this state, but she couldn't afford to waste a moment.
She put down the medicine box and instructed Xiao Zhao, "Xiao Zhao, take off your elder brother's shirt first, and remember not to move him."
Lu's mother and Xiao Zhao were anxiously watching from the side. Lu's mother was pale and slumped on the ground.
Xiao Zhao quickly walked over, picked up the scissors on the table, and simply cut off the clothes.
Su Wan glanced at Lu's mother and saw that she was absent-minded, so she had to find something for her to do to distract her, "Aunt Lu, go and boil some water."
Upon hearing Su Wan's words, Lu's mother immediately perked up. Her lifeless eyes instantly lit up, and she excitedly grabbed Su Wan's arm, "Young lady Su, is there any cure for my son?"
Her arm was gripped painfully by Lu's mother, but enduring the pain, she raised her other arm and patted her shoulder to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Brother Lu will be fine," she quietly broke free, "I'll treat him right away."
After receiving her confirmation, Lu's mother finally let go of her and hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
Su Wan shook her head and sighed. She could only try to calm Lu's mother down first.
Sometimes a doctor's words can prevent a family member from collapsing. Once the family member calms down, they will gradually accept the patient's condition.
Lu Zhao had already cut off Lu Lin's clothes. "Sister A-Wan, please let me know if there's anything else you need me to do."
Su Wan glanced at the knife wounds on Lu Lin's upper body, which were crisscrossed and deep, with flesh turned inside out.
She said, "Just help me carry my things later."
Lu Zhao nodded, indicating that he understood.
Time was of the essence, and she had already taken out the necessary gauze and medicine from the pharmacy while Lu's mother was out.
Xiao Zhao stepped aside, and Su Wan first used saline solution to rinse the wound on his shoulder.
Although the shoulder injury looks serious, it's not life-threatening. As long as the wound is cleaned, treated with anti-inflammatory medication, and stitched up, it shouldn't be a major problem.
The most dangerous spot was on her chest. She used tweezers to gently wipe it with iodine, revealing the exact location of the wound.
After taking a look, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't a fatal wound. If it had been an inch to the left, the chances of survival would have been slim.
She carefully wiped the blood off and then began to stop the bleeding. If this continued, Lu Lin would bleed to death even if he wasn't seriously injured.
Xiao Zhao watched Su Wan working meticulously and felt deep admiration for her.
Sister Wan managed to heal my brother's severe injury. She had previously taken him to the town's clinic, but all the doctors there refused to treat him after seeing the extent of his injuries.
She only came to find Sister A-Wan because she heard Sister Su Wan mention that she had medical skills these past few days.
I never expected Sister Awan's medical skills to be so amazing, far surpassing those of the doctors in the town's clinic.
The more Lin Zhao interacted with Su Wan, the more attracted he became, and the more intense his gaze became.
Sister A-Wan can save people, so shouldn't she also pick up her own weapons and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?
Su Wan wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Xiao Zhao, come help me lift your older brother up a bit so I can put on the bandages."
She had already stitched up the wound; all that was left was to wrap it with a bandage.
Lu Zhao's injuries were mostly in the front, and she couldn't move him by herself to wrap him in bandages, so she had to call Lu Zhao over.
"Sister A-Wan," Lu Zhao lifted her high in his arms, "Do you think this is okay?"
Su Wan: "..."
I really underestimated Xiao Zhao's strength. Not to mention that she, a woman, could lift a man who was over 1.8 meters tall, even an adult man would have a hard time doing so.
She quickly wrapped the gauze around her neck and then had Lu Zhao gently put her down.
"Alright, Brother Lu's injuries have stopped for now," she said, taking out a few fever-reducing pills for Lu Zhao. "Give him these fever-reducing pills. If he still has a fever by tonight, go find me next door."
Lu Zhao looked incredulous. "That's it?"
It happened even faster and more smoothly than she had imagined.
“It’s nothing serious,” she said to her as she packed her first-aid kit. “Okay, I’m going back now.”
"Miss Su, is my son really alright?" Lu's mother came in with hot water and, upon hearing their conversation, was so excited that she almost dropped the wooden basin on the ground.
"More or less, but it depends on tonight. If the fever doesn't return tonight, then it'll be fine." She didn't give a definitive answer.
However, Lu's mother did not think so. After Su Wan's words, she believed that her son had been saved.
With a thud, she knelt down before Su Wan, saying, "Young Lady Su, I am deeply grateful for your kindness."
Su Wan was startled by her sudden action.
She found it hard to accept that people in ancient times would kneel so readily, and just as she was about to stop them, a man's voice suddenly came from inside the house.
"Ah Wan, come here." Su Wan turned around and saw that Wei Jingzhuo had arrived at the Lu family home at some point.
"Why are you here?" she asked Wei Jingzhuo in surprise.
Wei Jingzhuo said in a calm voice, "I followed you here not long after you left."
After saying that, he glanced at the bed again. He had seen the knife wounds on Lu Lin's body before.
On the battlefield, many soldiers suffer such severe knife and sword wounds.
But most of them did not survive.
Su Wan had just said that it was nothing serious, which gave him a new appreciation for her skillful medical techniques.
Su Wan walked up to him and urged, "Let's go."
Wei Jingzhuo nodded, without looking at Lu's mother and Lu Zhao, and the two walked out hand in hand under the moonlight.
This time, when Su Wan helped him up, he clearly didn't resist as much as last time. The two of them stood close together, the moonlight casting long shadows.
Two shadows on the ground nestled together, an indescribable ambiguity.
——
After receiving the news that immortals had appeared, Bai Zhiyi settled down in Youzhou.
She had originally come to visit her aunt Lin's family in Youzhou.
The Lin family was a well-known and wealthy family in Youzhou, with a vast fortune, and they operated the trade route between the northwest and the Western Rong.
At this moment, Madam Lin was saying to Bai Zhiyi, "Zhiyi, how long do you plan to stay here? Your mother wrote to me asking when you will return to the capital. Your father has already arranged a marriage for you, and your mother's idea is to wait until you go back before making a decision."
Bai Zhiyi's face darkened immediately upon hearing that her father had arranged a marriage for her.
“I don’t want to go back yet, Aunt. Please write back to my mother and tell her that I don’t want to get married yet.”
“How can that be?” Madam Lin said anxiously. “Your father has chosen a first-rate husband for you this time. Who in the capital doesn’t want to marry the Fifth Prince?”
The crown prince has been deposed, and the current ideal husband is the emperor's most favored fifth prince. If one could marry the fifth prince, the future...
She dared not think about it.
Unexpectedly, Bai Zhiyi refused, saying, "I don't want to marry the Fifth Prince!"
"Then who do you want to marry?"
