Chapter 264 The Sinner’s Daughter 12
Xining wanted to push Xu Mian away, but the arrow from the crossbow was so powerful that it penetrated the wall of the car and inserted into the quilt.
I specially took the thickest one, and the arrow pierced the quilt, and I could feel the arrow exposed on the inside of the quilt.
Judging from the arrows inserted on the wall of the car, they are dark and obviously quenched with poison. Xining didn't dare to move, and held up the quilt with both arms as a barrier to block the arrows shot from behind.
The carriage drove hard and finally stopped after it was sure to escape the encirclement.
The Jin Yiwei who was driving the carriage lifted the curtain: "My lord!"
All I saw was Xu Mian leaning on Miss Gu, while Miss Gu was clutching Xu Mian's chest with her hands, and the ropa in her hands had long been stained with blood. The quilt thrown next to it had at least seven or eight arrows on it.
"My lord is injured!" Xining could only support Xu Mian and try to reduce the bumps of the carriage.
The horse could hardly run anymore, foam was spitting out of its mouth.
There was a small village ahead, so Jin Yiwei drove the carriage to the side to look for retail investors near the village.
Retail investors tend to be relatively poor, but under the current circumstances, try to stay out of sight.
Jin Yiwei carefully lifted Xu Mian up and looked inside the car: "Get the knife!"
Xining saw that Xu Mian's Xiuchundao was still in the car, so he took the blood-soaked Xiuchundao and got out of the car.
The Jin Yiwei slashed at the horse's leg with the back of his knife. The horse was sore that it pulled the cart and ran away.
"Bang~" Jin Yiwei kicked open the wooden door of the courtyard, and walked in while holding a dazed Xu Mian with a knife in his hand.
The owner of the yard is a farmer in his forties, sitting at the door of the hut holding a pipe and smoking.
The door was kicked open, and he watched blankly as the person came in. When his slightly dull eyes moved to the knife in Jin Yiwei's hand, the blade was still stained with blood.
"My mother!" She jumped up in fright, climbed up the wall, and tried to escape by jumping over the wall.
Jin Yiwei pushed Xu Mian onto Xi Ning who was following closely, picked up the knife and chased after him: "Don't run!"
Damn it, Xu Mian was very heavy. Xi Ning couldn't hold it at all, so she pushed it with all her strength.
Xu Mian seemed to be a little awake. After giving her a cold look, he turned to Jin Yiwei.
"Help, help, kill, kill, kill..." The farmer wanted to jump over the wall, but he was so frightened that his whole body was almost weak. His arms were hanging on the wall, and his feet were kicking feebly, which looked a bit funny.
"Still running!" Jin Yiwei grabbed the farmer down.
"Okay, good man, big brother, king..." The farmer kept kowtowing: "Spare your life."
Well, think of them as bandits and robbers.
Xu Mian spoke, his voice was very soft, but it was clear enough to hear: "The government is doing business without making any noise. Prepare hot water quickly!"
When someone wanted to work, Jin Yiwei kicked him: "Did you hear that? Hurry up and boil the water."
"Yes, yes!" The farmer crawled on the ground to boil water.
Jin Yiwei came over, helped Xu Mian and walked into the house.
After entering the house, Xu Mian was directly helped to the only wooden bed. Xu Mian's clothes were torn open at an extremely fast speed, leaving a wound more than a foot long that almost spanned the entire chest.
"Tear, tear~" Xining was already tearing the cloth aside. If it couldn't be torn apart, he would use the blade to scratch it. After a while, you will need a cloth to wipe the wound and bandage it with a cloth.
After placing the cloth next to it, go find the sewing box. It seems that this farmer is either too poor to afford a wife, or he is an old widower whose wife died a long time ago. Although there are no women's clothes at home, he still needs a needle for repairs. Jin Yiwei used a small porcelain bottle to carefully apply white medicinal powder on the lightly wiped wound. However, the blood oozing from the wound immediately wetted the powder and dripped down again.
Xu Mian's face became paler at this time, and his originally rosy thin lips were as white as paper.
This won't work! Jin Yiwei stood up: "I'll go to the town to ask for a doctor!"
Xu Mian whispered: "You will be targeted..."
Knowing that Xu Mian was injured, all he had to do was check which doctor came to see him, and he could touch this place. With Xu Mian's current condition, he was likely to die anyway.
Jin Yiwei turned around and picked up a candle on the table. After lighting it, he took out a knife and began to burn the tip. This is to seal the wound with a hot knife!
Xining took out her sewing kit, walked over, picked up a piece of cloth, and tied it to Xu Mian's body.
What is this for? Jin Yiwei wanted to stop him, but seeing that Xu Mian didn't move, his cold eyes seemed to have become lighter, and he looked at Miss Gu.
Avoid the wound and tie it horizontally from the shoulder to the armpit, so that the blood will flow out slightly less. Xining began to thread the needle: "Go and see if the boiling water is ready. How many heads are there?"
Jin Yiwei looked at Xu Mian, Xu Mian just looked at him and he understood.
After a while, a small bowl of boiling water was brought: "The others are still boiling."
Xining soaked the needle and thread in boiling water, took it out with a frown on his face, and scalded his fingers to disinfect them. Start sewing the wounds!
There is no catgut here, and no special suture needles are used, but it is better than burning the wound with a red-hot knife.
As soon as the needle went in, Xu Mian didn't even frown except for the unconscious muscle spasms in the wound.
There was a white seam on the wound, making Xu Mian look like a patched-up doll.
"Jin Chuang Yao!" Xining raised his hand.
Jin Yiwei immediately handed over the white porcelain bottle, and Xi Ning sprinkled it on little by little. At this time, only a small amount of blood seeped out from the suture. After mixing with the gold wound medicine, it quickly solidified into a block, and the bleeding stopped.
At this time, a basin of hot water was brought over, and Xining put a relatively clean cloth into the hot water and boiled it.
"I'll do it!" Seeing that she was grinning when she picked up a needle, Jin Yiwei picked up the hot cloth, wrung it dry and handed it to her.
Holding it in Xi Ning's hand, it felt like holding a bun that had just come out of the oven. It was so hot that she almost threw it away. Quickly open it, hold it at both corners, wait until the heat has dissipated, and then carefully and gently wipe the blood next to the suture.
"The blade is non-toxic. The sutures will be removed after seven days. During this period, do not touch water or eat fishy food." Xining ordered. Fortunately, Xu Mian, who saved his father's life, survived.
Seeing that the bleeding had stopped, Jin Yiwei breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw Xu Mian's cold eyes, he said knowingly: "My subordinate, go outside to see if there is anything to eat."
Seeing Xi Ning wiping him with a gentle technique, Xu Mian's words were still calm, but he looked a little weak due to blood loss: "What does the eldest lady of the Gu family know about this?"
His face should turn pale with fear as he looks at the writhing wounds; his eyes will avoid the man's body out of suspicion between men and women.
But she turned a blind eye and stitched the wound with an unchanged expression. She was indeed not an ordinary official lady.
Xi Ning wiped it carefully: "My mother often talked about my grandfather's war in the battlefield, and the doctors at home accompanied him to treat the wounded soldiers. I have been interested in medical skills since I was a child, but my family did not let me learn it, so I followed the instructions written by the doctors who accompanied the army at home. Note, the doctor saved a dog and two cats, but I didn’t expect them to come in handy today.”
Xu Guogong was born as a military general, the eldest lady is Xu Guogong's legitimate daughter, and Miss Gu is the eldest lady's legitimate daughter. It should make sense.
Xu Mian pursed his lips slightly and said in an unclear tone, "I am the same as a cat or a dog?"
Xining... was originally a dog in front of the emperor, let him die.
