Chapter 232: Bandaging and Provocation
Zheng Shu stood behind the crowd and quietly watched everything.
He didn't want to come out and stand up for the villagers, not to mention that these heroes really eliminated the thieves who endangered the villagers, even if you count the silver coin he blackmailed, what the other party did was only immoral even in modern society, but it did not violate the boundary line of the law.
And if you convert it to the ancient Greece, a god whose life is like a mustard, the other party's behavior can even be called a very rule-abiding type, after all, because they are dissatisfied with the reward, there are many "heroes" who run to the villagers' homes to search for property.
So Zheng Shu just glanced at these strangely dressed heroes a few times, and then set his eyes on the back of the team.
There were a few villagers, who were hobbling out of the jungle, the strongest hunters of the villages, who were following the heroes in order to help them lead the way through the jungle in search of the bandits.
Of course, judging from the equipment on their bodies, they should have also participated in the crusade against the thieves, but after all, they are not those heroes whose strength has broken through the limits of human beings, and everyone has more or less injuries after participating in such a fierce battle.
The reason why Zheng Shu noticed these people was because they were so shocked by the treatment of their wounds.
Some of the injuries were mild, but they simply exposed the wound and did not deliberately do any special treatment.
And some of the more serious injuries, some people wrapped the wounds with a few wide leaves and vines, and some people wrapped the wounds with the animal skins that were already very dirty on their bodies, and the most outrageous person Zheng Shu saw was that he wrapped his entire wound with some mud.
This......
Although he knew that before modern times, human beings had been in a very rough state of dealing with wounds, but Zheng Shu didn't expect that it could be rough to this level.
Not to mention drugs or anything else, not even the most basic wound cleaning has been done.
With their way of treating their wounds, half of them were lucky to survive.
Scratching his head, Zheng Shu felt that his requirements for these ancient people were a little too high. If nothing else, until Nightingale sorted out the methods of caring for the wounded after the war in the mid-nineteenth century, there were still huge cognitive errors in the methods of wound dressing.
The various wound treatment methods that are almost common sense for people today are unimaginably advanced technology for people at that time. In order to be able to figure out those techniques, every step has paid a huge price.
After all the heroes outside the village had entered the village, several female villagers suddenly left the crowd and ran to the villagers who were serving as guides for the heroes. They were very happy to see their son/husband back, but after seeing the injuries on their bodies, everyone showed different expressions.
If the injury is only slight, the faces of the villagers' families will show a sense of relief, but if the injuries are serious, the faces of the villagers will become uneasy.
And the hunter who had the most serious leg injury and had chosen to cover his wound with mud was now hugging his wife, and even from a long distance, Zheng Shu could feel the extremely sad aura coming from them.
With injuries of this level, even if the hunter is lucky, he will be seriously ill, but even if he heals, he will have a disability on his leg, and he will have to give up his job as a hunter and seek other ways to survive in the future.
And if you are unlucky, you may even be killed directly.
Looking at the sad expressions on these people's faces, Zheng Shu sighed helplessly and took the initiative to go up and check the injuries on the hunter's legs.
"This ...... Hero ...... "The hunter was a little overwhelmed when he saw that a man dressed like a hero suddenly came to him and wiped the mud that had been pasted on his leg to seal the wound.
But because of the prestige of the hero, he could only freeze there, not daring to say anything. Next to him, his wife also watched Zheng Shu's movements with a worried face, for fear that she would make the other party angry because of her husband's inappropriate words.
"It's okay, the wound is not very deep, and the infection time is not very long, and it can be treated." Zheng Shu carefully examined the wound on the hunter's leg and nodded, turning his head to look at the woman next to him who was a little stiff, "You're his wife, right?" Go! Boil me a big pot of hot water, the kind to boil, and if I'm lucky, I can get your husband back." β
"Ahh Be! Be! I'll go boil hot water right away. Hearing Zheng Shu's words, the woman's face was overjoyed, and she didn't care if Zheng Shu would lie to her, so she immediately ran to her home.
"Hero...... Can I save this leg? There was some disbelief in the hunter's eyes, but more of a surprise.
After all, in their opinion, each of these heroes has very special abilities, and maybe they can really save themselves.
"Luckily, I don't have any good medicine on hand, but luckily your wound isn't very deep, so it should be easier to deal with." Zheng Shu turned his head and glanced at the other hunters who looked at him with blank eyes after hearing his words, "You can also try to save your wounds, go and boil some hot water!" β
Anyway, saving one is also saving, saving two is also saving, and it's not bad for these people.
After instructing the men, Zheng Shu asked the wounded hunters to take him to the house of the most seriously injured hunter, and then commissioned another villager to bring over the package he had placed in the stone house.
When a large pot of water was boiling, Zheng Shu directly threw a few pieces of animal skins found in the hunter's house and a few pieces of linen cloth in his package to boil and sterilize.
When the other people brought the hot water from their homes, Zheng Shu took out a jar of rough-looking sea salt from the package.
This is the sea salt he refined using the knowledge of his previous life, but after learning alchemy in the dragon world for so many years, the pure sea salt extraction technique is still good. Although the purity of these sea salts is not as high as the purity of refined salts under the industrialization of modern society, they are still sufficient for use.
After preparing normal saline with hot water in a certain proportion, Zheng Shu waited until the water temperature dropped a little and began the regular disinfection procedure.
Use boiling and cooling water to clean the soil and dirt on the surface of the wound, then use normal saline to clean the wound for a second time, and then gently wrap the sackcloth or animal skin boiled and sterilized with boiling water on the wound.
It was very simple, and it could even be called a rudimentary wound treatment, because the conditions were limited or even without the aid of any medicine, but even so, the chances of survival of these hunters were greatly improved.
After treating all the wounded wounds, Zheng Shu nodded after confirming that there was no omission: "That's it, the conditions are limited, try not to get water on the wounds these days, even if you want to clean them, use cold water after boiling as much as possible." If you're lucky, you might just survive. β
Having not been to those villagers who were grateful to him, Zheng Shu grabbed his luggage and walked towards the stone house, looking up, because of the delay of these people, it was now close to dusk.
"Heroes." At this moment, the village chief of this village hurriedly ran over from the side and stopped Zheng Shu, "Hero, thank you for your treatment." As you can see, we don't have anything too good in our village right now, so it happens that there is going to be a celebration in the evening, so why don't you come along? β
After thinking about it for a while, Zheng Shu agreed to the village chief's invitation, anyway, he didn't think about what to eat tonight, so it was better to participate in the celebration to have a big meal.
He himself is not a social phobia, and he is just eating, so there will be no trouble participating in such a celebration......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Damn, I regret it."
Zheng Shu sat alone in front of the fire in the clearing, watching the group of drunken guys around him show dead fish eyes.
"Let's toast to today's victory!" The strong man at the head put his arm around a beautiful girl in one hand, and raised the wine glass in his hand with the otherβor a barrel, and shouted loudly.
"Oooooooooooooo
The surrounding heroes were all very happy to meet the cheers, and drank the wine in their hands in one go, and the atmosphere in the field reached its climax.
"Tsk, I have a bad premonition." Zheng Shu looked at the drunken guys around him, and his expression didn't show any joy at all.
Reason told him that a strong man like this who drank too much alcohol would inevitably cause some trouble.
As he expected, while the wine was strong, some people wanted to better show their bravery.
However, although they had just defeated a whole group of thieves today, because it was something that everyone in the whole team did together, simply bragging about their exploits today could not show their bravery too well. So they set their eyes on Zheng Shu, the only one in the crowd who was neither their own nor a villager.
"Hey! You guy didn't do anything, why did you dare to sit here and celebrate with us! "The amount of alcohol is not very good compared to others, so that some heroes who drink too much are the first to stand up and attack Zheng Shu.
Zheng Shu sighed, but he felt that he was a reasonable person, and in the face of such a drunk man who drank so much that his tongue was too big and his words were not clear, Zheng Shu felt that he didn't need to be too serious: "You misunderstood, I paid before, I didn't participate in the celebration here, I was just eating my own dinner, and I didn't participate in your division of the spoils." β
I didn't expect the other party to "admit it" so quickly, and the tone of the hero who got up to make trouble was stagnant. But then he found that Zheng Shu didn't look at him at all when he spoke, but instead held his chin and stared at the bonfire in front of him, as if there was some mystery in it.
So with the strength of the wine, the hero surged up in his heart, staggered to Zheng Shu, and looked at him condescendingly: "You can't participate in the distribution of the spoils of war, because you haven't done anything at all, and of course you are not qualified for these riches." β
In the first half of the speech, the hero's mood was quite stable, but then his tone changed, as if he finally thought of an excuse to stir up trouble: "But! I still see that you are very unhappy! The thieves are our crusade, but your presence here means you have carved up the glory we deserve! β
"Are you sure? Do you guys really have any glory to speak of? Zheng Shu glanced up at the guy in front of him, lowered his head again, and continued to look at the bonfire.
These guys don't have any reason at all, and they're just like beasts constantly showing off their strength. Therefore, arguing with such a person is completely damaging his own image, and Zheng Shu prefers to be able to solve the problem once and for all......
"Huh? You're talking ...... garbage."
Rumble!
Before he finished speaking, Zheng Shu's fist slammed directly in front of him. The tremendous force and speed brought up a huge wind pressure, and the bonfire in front of it became uncertain.
"It's a bit of a hassle, so you lie down for me!"
With Zheng Shu's muttering, the fist carrying the terrifying power also landed where the person was standing just now.
"Huh?" Zheng Shu let out a sound in surprise, because the punch just now didn't hit the target, but only blasted the ground out of a big hole.
Turning his head to look to the side, the man who was arrogantly standing in front of Zheng Shu just now was already paralyzed on the ground, and there was a bow and arrow stuck in his collar.
This shows that at the critical moment just now, someone shot this bow and arrow, relying on the power carried above to take this guy away from the position just now and dodge Zheng Shu's punch.
"It's kind of interesting......" Zheng Shu smiled with interest.
With his dynamic eyesight, of course, he can see the flight speed of this bow and arrow clearly, according to Zheng Shu's visual inspection, although the speed of this bow and arrow is very fast, it is not enough to save this person after he makes a move.
That is, the person who shot the bow and arrow had already shot the arrow before he could shoot it.
Ignoring the guy next to him who had been frightened by the punch just now, Zheng Shu followed the trajectory of the bow and arrow movement and turned his head to look over.
There stood a man with long blond hair, a handsome and resolute face, and a wooden longbow with golden veins in his hand.
The moment he saw this person's eyes, Zheng Shu knew that he was the one who shot the bow and arrow.
