Chapter 33: Healing
Previously, due to lack of light, Xiaomut never found that Huaxing was injured. Hearing the other party say this, I saw the arrow on his shoulder.
"You probably haven't pulled an arrow for anyone, have you? It's as simple as holding the shaft firmly and pulling it upwards with all your might. Remember, don't twist, don't spin, you see? ”
Hua Xing guessed correctly, Xiao Mu had indeed never pulled out an arrow for anyone, and his face showed embarrassment.
"Don't worry, you just do what I say, I'll be responsible if something happens. Hehe, but before you pull out the arrow, you have to strangle this place with a strip of cloth......"
Under Hua Xing's instructions, Xiao Mu tightly wrapped a strip of cloth around Hua Xing's shoulder to slow down the flow of blood.
After that, Huaxing poured another glass of wine, took a sip of it himself, and spilled the rest on the wound.
Even though it hurt terribly, he could only endure it and didn't dare to make a sound. Gritting his teeth and sweating profusely, he said:
"Alright, now draw the arrow! Remember, be sure to be fast and strive to pull it out once! ”
After speaking, Hua Xing took a deep breath, his left hand hung to one side, his right hand clenched the dagger, and his face was serious and nervous.
And Xiaodue's side, to be honest, she is 10,000 unwilling to help Huaxing pull out arrows to heal her injuries, and she can't wait for Huaxing to die quickly.
But because of the dagger in the other party's hand, in order to survive, she had no choice at the moment, so she could only hold her white little hand on the broken arrow according to the other party's request, but secretly cursed in her heart:
"Humph! Unplugged all at once? Think beautifully! Wait...... See if I don't kill you! ”
After thinking about it, Xiao Mu began to exert his strength, pulling out the broken arrow little by little.
It's just that the speed of pulling up is slower than that of the snail, and it often sways left and right, like stirring soup, and I wish to enlarge the wound several times before I am satisfied!
Under this operation, in just three or five seconds, Huaxing was already sweating like rain, his face was pale, and he felt that he might faint at any time.
Soon, I saw him gritting his teeth and urging:
"Pull it out! Don't shake! Little dumb, hurry up, hurry up! ”
And the little mute holding the broken arrow in her hand pretended to be innocent, and screamed a few times, as if to say that she had gone all out, and it was useless to urge.
But in fact, Xiaomute didn't use all her strength at all, she just did it to make Huaxing suffer a little more.
Because whenever he saw Huaxing's painful expression, Xiao Mu's heart was extremely comfortable, and he felt like an enemy!
With such a rare "happy hour", how could she let go so easily?
Therefore, the speed at which she pulled out the arrow was getting slower and slower, and the broken arrows of six or seven centimeters in total made her pull out for more than a minute before she finally left Huaxing's body.
If Hua Xing hadn't received "pain" training in the army, he would have fainted.
Under the restraint of the strip of cloth, the blood loss after the arrow was pulled out was not serious.
Little Dumb thought that her "happy hour" would end there, but soon she heard another piece of good news:
"Then pour some wine on my wound, burn it with an oil lamp, and see...... Can it be ignited. ”
Pouring wine into the wound was already powerful enough, but when I heard that the other party let myself set fire to it!
As soon as these words came out, the little mute was overjoyed in his heart, and he almost laughed.
She doesn't care why the other party asks for this, as long as she can continue to torture the murderer, she is willing to do whatever she wants!
"Wine can be disinfected, and burning can stop bleeding. Do it, I'm ...... Can't die! ”
Xiao Mu didn't understand Huaxing's explanation.
But it doesn't matter if you understand it or not, the little mute who was enjoying it immediately nodded, picked up the wine jug and poured it on the other party's wound, and at the same time put the oil lamp together......
When the alcohol met the fire, Huaxing's shoulders instantly ignited with blue flames.
However, the alcohol content was too low, so it didn't last a few seconds before it went out.
Seeing this, Hua Xing could only shake his head regretfully, and said bitterly:
"Alas! If you can't burn, forget it, now sew up my wound with a needle and thread! ”
If you want to say clothes, quilts, purses or something, the little dumb have sewn, although they are not masters of sewing, but they are also people with skills.
Hearing the words "sewing wounds", Xiaomut was shocked on the spot.
Growing so big, she had never heard of anyone sewing a wound with a needle and thread, and her little mouth involuntarily opened a big one.
Wound suturing techniques are documented in the history of various countries.
However, due to the substandard disinfection technology and suture materials, it has not been widely used, and only a few doctors dare to practice it.
Just like Hua Tuo in the Han Dynasty and Ge Hong in the Jin Dynasty, they have all tried in this regard, but the risk is extremely high, and if they don't do it well, they will die from infection. Therefore, the vast majority of doctors do not dare to use this method.
It was not until the beginning of the 20th century, after a huge breakthrough in sterilization technology and suture materials, that wound suture was widely used.
Therefore, it is normal that Xiao Mu has never heard of this method.
"Let you sew, you will sew!"
Seeing the hesitation on the little dumb face, Hua Xing frowned and urged:
"Don't make a fuss, bloodshed or something, leave it alone, you just be ...... If your clothes are torn, just sew them! ”
For Huaxing's strange requirements, Xiaomute is incomprehensible.
But at the thought that she could keep stabbing each other with an embroidery needle, a touch of excitement crossed her eyes.
Without waiting for Huaxing's second urging, she picked up the needle and thread and stabbed it at the other party's shoulder......
"Uh, it hurts, it hurts...... It's okay! Attaboy! Sew like this, leave me alone. ”
……
"Well, that's good! The girl's craftsmanship is good, and she must be a virtuous woman. ”
……
"Huh? I said dumb, you don't have to sew so densely...... A total of seven or eight stitches are all you need. ”
……
"Dumb? Why haven't you finished sewing yet? I'm not saying it, seven or eight stitches are enough! But you can stop! ”
……
About five minutes later, under Huaxing's repeated urgings, Xiaomu finally completed the last stitch and bit off the thin thread with his teeth.
Although Huaxing said, just a few stitches.
But the hateful little mute was stunned that there were more than 20 stitches on the five-centimeter wound!
At this moment, the wound looked like a thin zipper, which made Huaxing cry and laugh.
After so many years as a soldier, it was the first time he had seen someone stitch up a wound like this.
But for this matter, Huaxing definitely can't blame Xiaodu's head.
In his opinion, this little palace maid has neither studied medicine nor suturing experience, and it is already very good to be able to sew like this. After smiling helplessly, he spoke again:
"Alright, there's one final step to complete. Help me bandage my wounds......"
Under Huaxing's guidance, Xiaomu tore the bed sheets again, wrapped Huaxing's wound tightly, and the healing process was officially over.
Seeing that the other party did not give new instructions, Xiao Mu whined at Huaxing twice with a pleading face.
Of course, Huaxing understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Do you want me to let you go now?" ”
Xiao Mu nodded urgently.
"Yes, yes, but in order to prevent you from going out to ventilate, I have to go first. Come! Let me tie your feet, and when I'm gone, you can untie them yourself......"
But as soon as he said this, Huaxing heard a few dog barks and a familiar voice outside the house:
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! We are on the orders of the emperor to search for fugitives, and the idlers are waiting to avoid them quickly! ”
