Chapter 8: Rescue and sew wounds in the cave
Alayanzong followed Ula Peach to a small cave in the back mountain.
By this time it was already dark, and there was still some afterglow.
When I entered the cave, I could vaguely see a middle-aged woman lying inside.
The woman was lying on a patch of hay, and when she saw someone coming, she moved her body and said weakly, "Is it a peach?"
Ula Peach hurriedly stepped forward and squatted down, leaned in front of his mother, and said, "Mother, it's me." Alayanzong came. ”
The woman looked at another figure who walked in from outside the cave and said, "Yeonzong?"
Alayanzong hurriedly stepped forward and squatted down as well, "Aunt Ula, it's me. How are you?"
The woman gasped and said, "Oh, I can't do it." I was injured, and I was panting so badly that I always felt like I was about to suffocate. ”
Alayanzong heard Aunt Ula's heavy wheezing and asked, "Where is the injury?"
Aunt Ulla pointed to her abdomen, "This." ”
Alayanzong vaguely saw that there was blood stains on Aunt Ula's abdomen, so he gently uncovered his shirt, and a palm-long wound on his right abdomen was still oozing blood.
Alayanzong covered the wound with his clothes again, and asked the aunt to press it with her right hand to reduce the bleeding.
Then he said: "This is a scratch, although it does not hurt the internal organs, you must stop the bleeding quickly, otherwise it will be dangerous." ”
While untying the burden on his body, Alayanzong said to Ula Tao: "Hurry up and find two dry pine branches and make two torches." ”
"There's it at the mouth of the cave. Ula Peach answered, and went to the mouth of the cave to retrieve two pine branches.
Alayanzong found the oiled paper in the baggage, tore off a layer, and wrapped it around the end of the pine branch.
And he took a sickle and lit it, and the cave was much brighter.
He stuck a torch in the wall of the cave and made another one, but he didn't light it.
He said to Ula Peach, "Find some dry wood and make a fire, it's too shady and cool in this cave." I went to see if I could find some utensils to boil water. ”
The Peach of Ulla turned to leave.
Alayanzong unsheathed his sword and said, "You have the short sword, you can use it." ”
Ula Peach answered, took the short sword and went out of the cave to find dry firewood.
Alayanzong leaned over and said to the woman, "Auntie, hold on, I'll go and go back." ”
After that, he took the unlit torch, turned around and walked out of the hole, and ran in the direction of the Taoist temple.
When Alayanzong came to the place where he had fought with the bandits just now, he saw that the three corpses were still lying there, and after a moment's hesitation, he picked up a scimitar and hurried forward again.
Soon he came to the Taoist temple.
By this time, it was completely dark.
Alayanzong lit torches and searched for them room by room in the ruined Taoist temple.
Finally found two clay pots.
The clay pot was also broken, but the lower half could still hold water.
Another broken bowl was found.
He didn't have time to look any further, so he hurried back to the cave with his torch and utensils.
The peach of Ullah had found dry wood and made a fire in the cave.
Alayanzong called the peach of Ula, went to a mountain spring not far from the cave, washed the clay pot and the broken bowl, filled it with water and returned to the cave.
The two found a few stones of good size in the cave, set the clay pot on the fire, and began to boil water.
Alayanzong took out the surgical knife left by the master from the package and prepared it in advance.
In his package, he found a softer white underwear and pulled it into several strips of cloth.
At this point, the water boiled.
Alayanzong took out some salt, put it in water, boiled it for a while, and when the salt was melted, he took off the clay pot and set it aside to dry.
Ula Peach sat on the stone beside him, silently watching Alayanzong's every move, one hand pressing on his mother's wound.
Aunt Ula's panting voice grew thicker and thicker, and from time to time she would moan and occasionally say, "Child, don't be busy, it's useless." ”
Alayanzong was busy with the work in his hands, and replied, "Aunt Ula don't worry, you have to hold on, it's okay." You just hurt your belly, you didn't hurt your internal organs, just sew it up. ”
The water is finally not so hot.
Alayanzong lifted Aunt Ula's shirt, and the blood was still slowly oozing out, but it had already shed very little.
Alayanzong dipped a white cloth in salt water, gently wiped the wound clean, and finally rinsed the wound with salt water.
Aunt Ulla was so distressed that she moaned louder.
Alayanzong comforted: "Aunt Ula endure it, it will hurt when she sews it for a while." ”
So he took a short stick and let Aunt Ulla bite it.
Alayanzong washed his hands with salt water, took the surgical needle, burned it on the fire, put it on the line, and began to sew up Aunt Ulla's wounds.
Aunt Ulla trembled, broke out in a cold sweat, and screamed hysterically in her throat.
Ula Peach stepped forward and pressed her mother's upper body, and said straight in her mouth, "Mother is strong! Mother endures!"
Alayanzong finally sewed up the wound.
At this time, Aunt Ulla had passed out.
Alayanzong sprinkled some gold sore medicine on his aunt's wound and covered it with a white cloth. He soaked the strip of white cloth in salt water, and with the help of Ulla's peach, he bandaged Aunt Ula's wound.
At this time, the two of them, Alayanzong and Ula Peach, were already sweating through their clothes.
The two wiped their sweat and could finally rest.
Ula no Tao took out a wooden stick from her mother's mouth, wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and face, and covered her mother with two more single clothes.
Aunt Ulla's breathing was still heavy.
Alayanzong said: "Auntie may be infected with the plague, and I need to give her some medicinal soup. ”
Alayanzong took out the herbs he had picked earlier from the package and picked some of them.
He went back to the mountain spring outside to get water, washed the herbs, chopped them on the stone slab, added some dry branches to the fire, put the clay pot on the fire, put the broken grass into the clay pot, and began to boil the medicine.
While waiting for the potion to boil, Alayanzong took out the jerky and dried fruits, and handed them to the peach of Ula to chew.
Ula Peach eats food and tells what happened to them.
It turned out that after saying goodbye to Alayanzong at the gate of the city yesterday, Ula Zhitao and his mother turned south of the city and traveled west along the riverside.
In fact, not long after they left, General Mohumo led his army to besiege the city.
After a day's journey with his mother, he had eaten all the dried fruits he had brought with him, and decided to go to the mountains to find something to eat.
As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, three bandits intercepted them. Seeing that the bandits had bad intentions, Ula Peach and his mother went into the mountains and forests.
The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and it is dark, and the bandits are finally thrown off, but the two are lost.
There was nothing to eat, and the two men were hungry all night and drank only some spring water.
Fortunately, I still found a leeward nest in the mountains, covered with a few single clothes that I carried with me, and spent the night shivering.
Just after dawn, the two men went in search of food. Finally, I found some fruit, which was enough to satisfy my hunger.
Later, I found this cave again, and when I saw that it was relatively safe, I temporarily rested here to avoid danger.
In the afternoon, they looked for some dried fruits, and when they were about to go out of the mountains and forests, they met the three bandits again.
In order to protect her daughter, Aunt Ula was stabbed by a fat bandit.
Ula no peach helped her mother to escape, and finally she couldn't run anymore and returned to the cave.
The goal of the three bandits was the peach of Ula, and they did not give up and continued to chase after them.
Ula Peach picked up a long wooden stick and fought them, retreating as they went.
She wanted the bandits to stay away from the cave so that her mother would be safer.
She couldn't resist the three bandits herself.
Fortunately, she had learned some martial arts from the Alayan Sect before, but she didn't learn it well, otherwise she would have been caught a long time ago.
