Relying on Yunwen's frail body, it was really difficult for the two of us to move forward, especially when we had to go down the fault. It was really dangerous. If I fell from a place nearly four meters high, I might have problems with my spine. How could Yunwen help me get down so easily by herself?
The only way was very difficult. It was to tie the rope tied to the crevice around me, and then I held the rope tightly with both hands. Yunwen used all her strength to lower me down little by little, and when she sent me to the bottom, she came down along the rope, untied the rope that tied me, and then continued to help me go back.
During this period, her hands were bleeding due to the high-intensity friction, and her slender and delicate hands also turned blood red.
"Your hand..." I felt distressed and really embarrassed.
"It's okay, we'll just have to apply some medicine at home." Yunwen said in tears in pain.
There were wild animals like jackals following quietly behind us. They were very interested in my blood, so we had to quicken our pace and go back. The journey was extremely dangerous. At this speed, by the time it took to reach the house, Song Yingchun and Song Bailu could have gone back and forth two or three times. However, after they collected the deer, they did not come back to pick me up. It was only I, He Yunwen, who went through a lot of trouble and risked great danger to return to the old house in Shanquan.
"Sister Bailu, please lend a hand! He is seriously injured from a wolf bite. Can you help me apply some anti-inflammatory medicine to control the condition first to avoid bacterial infection?" Yunwen said.
However, there was no one in the house to greet her, so Yunwen could only help me into the house slowly, sweating profusely from exhaustion.
After a long time, Song Bailu came over and said, "Zhang Yunwen, you usually do the least work, so don't always expect me to do things for you, and don't yell at me. The herbs that can reduce inflammation are all in that box. If you want to reduce inflammation, you can do it yourself. Look at how much Zhou Bo has done for you, shouldn't you repay him?"
"I'm just asking you for a favor, Sister Bailu." Yunwen said.
"Can't you see I'm busy? The venison will go bad tomorrow. What will we eat then? I have to process and marinate it. Do you want me to do everything? I find that you are still that young lady. You take yourself very seriously on this broken island, but I, Song Bailu, am definitely not your maid." Song Bailu said.
"I don't mean that." Yunwen lowered her head.
"Bailu, go ahead and do your work. Just don't forget who made the salt for pickling and who found this edible dead deer." I said as politely as possible.
Bai Lu understood what I meant and said innocently, "Zhou Bo, don't get me wrong. I'm just being naughty. Someone has to teach these delicate girls how to do things, right? After all, this is a deserted island, not her home, and certainly not the wedding room of her rich fiancé."
"Okay, sister, come out and prepare the venison. Why are you talking so much? You're a chatterbox!" Song Yingchun shouted outside.
"Coming, coming." Song Bailu glanced at Yunwen and me and went out.
Yunwen sighed, then turned around and looked at the bite wound on my leg. She touched it lightly and I couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Wait until she finishes processing the venison. I think the wound will get worse. Please help me up and get some burning wood in a clay basin and bring it in," I said.
"Okay, then wait for me." Yunwen said softly.
She slowly helped me up, then took out the things I mentioned and placed them on the ground beside me. I pulled out the bayonet I often used, warmed it over the fire, and planned to use it to clean out the stones and gravel that were left in the wound and slightly scabbed inside. I picked them out one by one, and the pain made my head buzz.
Yunwen saw that I was in pain, so she stretched out her hand and asked me to bite her to relieve the pain, but I couldn't bear to do that, so I asked her to find some restrictive cloth to prevent me from exerting too much force and damaging my teeth.
She went to prepare, and in the end she took off her usual underwear, soaked it in spring water, and brought it to me. I saw that she was only covered with a coat, and because she had no underwear, her fair skin was exposed, which was vaguely visible, which made me think of something wrong.
But because of this, my attention was slightly diverted and I forgot about the heart-wrenching pain.
"Bite this." Yunwen was a little embarrassed and blushed as she handed the clothes to me.
I coughed and bit my clothes. Although it was not good, looking at her curvy figure would divert my attention to some extent and numb my nerves for a short time.
So I picked out the debris from the congealed wound while biting my clothes tightly to vent the pain. Then I looked at Yunwen's graceful figure to divert my attention. I repeated this many times and finally dealt with the most complicated situation. The wound was basically cleaned. The next step was the most painful part, which was to disinfect my wound.
Trembling, I stabbed a piece of burning charcoal with my bayonet, bit the clothes hard, and relied on some kind of courage. With a "sizzling" sound, the charcoal directly burned the wound, and the pain made my nerves burst!
To divert the pain, I looked at Yunwen again. Unexpectedly, Yunwen seemed to understand what I meant. She loosened her clenched hands and loosened her clothes a little, revealing more of her fair skin. My attention was immediately diverted and I forgot the pain.
But it was really hard to continue this obscene method, so I closed my eyes and said, "Yunwen, this is not good, I shouldn't do this, I'm sorry."
"As long as it is processed at high temperature to kill the bacteria, it will be fine, right?" Yunwen asked.
I closed my eyes and nodded.
She slowly came over, and I felt her sitting sideways in front of me, and then she took the bayonet from my hand and stabbed it…
Several times in a row, the wound on my leg was burned with charcoal, and the pain increased rapidly! I stared at Yunwen with wide eyes, but she blocked me, put down the bayonet, and immediately hugged me, comforted me with her soft body, and gently stroked my face. She knew how to use this method to divert my attention...
I was sweating profusely, but I slowly calmed down in Yunwen's gentle embrace.
"The disinfection is done. I'll get you some herbal medicine that can help reduce inflammation and remove blood stasis on the wound. You lie down first." Yunwen slowly put me down again.
"Thank you...but do you know which herbs are anti-inflammatory? Also, external and internal use are different, and how to take and boil them are also different, so you should ask Bai Lu and let her teach you to avoid making mistakes." I said.
Unexpectedly, she smiled, shook her head, and said, "Believe me, I've helped her before, so I know a little bit about her. Let me make some medicine for you, okay?"
"Of course you can...but that doesn't mean I don't believe you. If you use the wrong medicine, the effect will be much worse, so do you understand what I mean?" I said.
"I understand. Okay, then I'll go find Sister Bailu. You wait here." Yunwen looked a little helpless.
Yunwen took the wet clothes next to my mouth and walked out, looking a little lost.
I sighed, thinking that even if Yunwen had a good memory, the dosage of medicines and their effectiveness required years of study and verification. It was a prescription for individuals, which was not very similar to the general properties of Western medicine. Memorizing herbal prescriptions by rote was not the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, so I didn't dare let her prepare the medicine without permission.
Outside, Song Bailu gave another speech, which I guessed was not particularly pleasant. Not long after, Yunwen came back with some medicine, mixed it in a clay bowl, and wanted to mash it into paste for external application.
"Have you found it clear?" I asked quickly.
Yunwen looked unhappy and whispered, "I did ask, but Zhou Bo, I think the herbs she gave me seem to have some problems..."
