Chapter Ninety-Four: A Gesture of Effort
"What's wrong?"
Gu Zhirong saw at a glance that the little girl's feet called Zhang Qian'er were rotting when she walked, and when she looked closely, she saw that her dress at the knees was dirty, with a big hole and some dark red color.
Needless to say, there must have been a lot of chaos on the other side of the pond, and this little girl was small in stature, and was squeezed and bumped by the crowd, and finally fell to the ground, broke her knee, and bled out.
Gu Zhirong looked around and saw that the curtain where Miss Zhao Jiu was lying had not been removed, so he asked Cai Qing to carry Zhang Qian'er behind the curtain, and then carefully pulled up Zhang Qian'er's dress, even if the movement was light, Zhang Qian'er still shivered in pain.
Gu Zhirong took a serious look, and saw that Zhang Qian'er's knee was really broken, and she bled a lot, and when the blood was dry, the skirt was sticky, if she had to tear it off, not to mention the pain, it would aggravate the infection because of the tearing of the wound.
Gu Zhirong also thought about asking the palace maid to find the imperial doctor to come over and see Zhang Qian'er's injuries. But she stood up and looked around, because something had just happened in Wanhong Garden, Concubine Cen decided to move the dinner party to her own dormitory, so that most of the people in the garden moved their positions, to other places or to enjoy the beautiful scenery, or sit down and relax, especially for the marriage of the children's family, those ladies have endless topics to talk about as soon as they sit together.
Gu Zhirong looked at the empty Wanhong Garden, and couldn't even find a person who looked like a palace maid after patrolling, thinking that even if he found a palace maid, it would still be a question if people were willing to pass it on. Even if he is willing to pass it on, he has to bother the imperial doctor in the palace, and report it layer by layer. I am afraid that I will not be able to come without an hour or two. At this time, the most important thing for the little girl's injury is: hemostasis, disinfection, and infection prevention. Moreover, the resistance of this child is usually not very strong, and if it is not treated in time, it will cause suppuration and even gas gangrene.
So she decided to take matters into her own hands.
She saw that there was a nearby stone table with melons and fruits that had not yet been removed. I remembered that because there was a plate of bayberry on the table, a small plate of salt was also placed next to it. So I asked Cai Qing to take a bowl, add a little salt, and then pour cold boiled water, and after the salinization, it was made into normal saline.
She thought about it again and asked Cai Qing to go to the edge of the pond to pick some reeds. With her skillful hands, she quickly made a living grasshopper and handed it to the little girl to play with. to distract her.
Then she took the little girl's knee and dipped a silk handkerchief in salt water and gently dripped it over the wound. Soon. The blood stains that stuck to the hem of the skirt melted. She gently separated the corners of her skirt from the wound. After the disinfection is completed, unscrew the small jade bottle containing the homemade gold creation medicine and pour some medicine powder on it.
For this medicinal powder, it is funny to say, Gu Zhirong didn't plan to bring it to the palace, but since Cai Qing decided that this Cen Guifei's birthday banquet was a Hongmen banquet, she was nervous, and she stuffed this to her when she went out. I don't want to use it at this time, but it comes in handy.
This medicinal powder was developed by her based on the secret recipe taught by Master Mingkong, and it has miraculous effects. Within three days, the little girl's knee injury would be healed.
Finally, she took out a clean handkerchief and helped the little girl to bandage her wounds.
After doing all this, Gu Zhirong exhaled softly, washed his hands with the remaining cold boiled water, dried them again, and then said to the little girl: "Qian'er, your foot is injured and you can't walk anymore, so let's sit here and wait, wait for your mother and sister to come to you, okay?"
The little girl saw that Gu Zhirong helped her deal with her wounds, and folded a fun grasshopper for her to play with, and her good impression of Gu Zhirong soared a lot, and she actually gave birth to some dependence. She tilted her head, grabbed Gu Zhirong with her small fingers, and said with big eyes: "Good sister, don't go, don't leave Qian'er, okay?"
Gu Zhirong couldn't help but laugh at the little girl's innocent and childish expression, and said with a smile: "Okay, my sister promised you that you won't go anywhere, just accompany Qian'er to wait here." ”
Cai Qing was a little anxious. She looked around, this Wanhong Garden, there were fewer and fewer people, and the poetry club on the opposite side also ended early. If she continues to delay like this, she may fall into the trap of Concubine Cen Guifei, so that she can attack her own young lady.......
At this moment, the voice suddenly started: "Qian'er, where are you?" Qian'er...... voice was short, obviously anxious, and the length was uneven, presumably a group of people were looking for her.
When the little girl heard the voice of her relatives, she was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Mother, big sister, third sister, I'm here." ”
As soon as the words fell, several figures appeared around the corner. Among them, the first to bear the brunt is a middle-aged woman in her forties, dressed plainly, with no hairpin pinned to her sideburns, but she is neat and tidy, giving people a refreshing and capable feeling.
Gu Zhirong thought to himself, is this the lady of the Ministry of Rites? I didn't expect to dress up so simply, presumably this person's family style must be very good.
As soon as the middle-aged woman saw the little girl, her still cloudy face was like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, all of them swept away, and she instantly changed into a look of surprise, rushed forward with three steps and two steps, hugged the little girl, and cried with joy: "Qian'er, you are really here, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, but it scared my mother to death." ”
The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried for a while, the little girl broke free from her mother's embrace, pointed to Gu Zhirong who was standing on the side, and turned back to the middle-aged woman: "Mother, my foot is injured, this is the sister who helped me bandage the wound." ”
The middle-aged woman hurriedly wiped away her tears, smiled and thanked Gu Zhirong, and the two young lady-like people who followed behind her also saluted and thanked Gu Zhirong.
"You're welcome, lady. Gu Zhirong said with a smile, "I was just here, and I happened to meet this little sister's foot injury, and when I was in Xuanji Temple before, I studied medical skills with Master Mingkong for a few years, so I bandaged my little sister's wounds." It's not enough to worry about it. ”
The middle-aged woman thanked her and went to check on her daughter's injuries. I saw that the bandaging was very good, and I was very satisfied. You must know that the handkerchief is a woman's possession, and it is generally not used on others, so as not to spread the past and ruin your reputation. But the girl in front of her had no scruples, and this kind of righteous and courageous behavior really moved her.
She thought in her heart that when she returned, she must wash this handkerchief and keep it well, and when she returned to this girl in the future, she could not lose this handkerchief and ruin the reputation of her daughter's life-saving benefactor.
Where did Gu Zhirong think that this woman actually thought so carefully, she saw that the little girl had found her relatives, and she had something to do, so she couldn't stay for a long time, so she said goodbye to the middle-aged woman and the others, and turned around and left with Cai Qing.
"This girl ......" The middle-aged woman just said that she wanted to call Gu Zhirong, but the latter had already left and obviously didn't want to leave her name. So she admired this girl even more, called a mother-like person next to her, and instructed: "Mother Huo, as the saying goes, you should repay the kindness of people." You go and inquire whose girl this is, and I will personally come to thank you in the future. ”
Huo's mother bowed down and turned around. (To be continued......)
