When the three children saw this, they also burst into tears. The man of the family went forward, helped them up one by one, and took them out of the village without saying a word.
On the other end, Zhou Ying had just returned home when she suddenly heard someone shout, âHelp! Doctor Gu, help!â
She was stunned for a brief moment and turned her head to look. She saw two young men carrying a bloodied man lying on a wooden board, running over quickly. Behind them was the staggering Widow Hua.
Zhou Ying was shocked. She quickly stopped Er Zhuang and said, âJust leave him in the courtyard; Iâll go get my husband.â
After speaking, she ran into the house and briefly explained the situation to Gu Chengrui, saying, âRui, Iâm afraid weâll have to suture the personâs wounds. You should get ready.â
Gu Chengrui immediately stood up. âChengxi, go and get my first aid kit. Iâll go and take a look.â
He washed his hands and walked out. When he saw the person on the ground covered in blood, he paused before saying to the two young men, âBring two chairs out and put the wooden board on then.â
Afterwards, he walked over and squatted down, carefully checking the personâs wounds.
Gu Chengrui found that although his internal organs werenât injured, he had many external wounds and lost a lot of blood.
He would probably bleed to death if he werenât saved in time.
âDoctor Gu, howâs my son-in-lawâs injury?â Widow Hua asked hurriedly when she saw Gu Yusheng stop.
âHe was sent here in time, so donât worry. But the weather is too hot, so you have to change his wound dressing more often.â After Gu Chengrui explained, Gu Chengxi brought the first aid kit over.
The two young men took two long stools from the house and placed the wooden board on them. Once that was done, the two men and Gu Chengxi cooperated with Gu Chengrui to clean and suture the wound.
Zhou Ying handed a glass of boiled water to Widow Hua and said, âAuntie, sit down and have a glass of water. They wonât be able to finish in a short time.â âSorry for your trouble.â Widow Hua responded and took the glass of water. However, just as she was about to sit down, she immediately stood up and returned the glass to her. âNo, Chunhong is still at home. I have to go back and look at her.â
After she finished saying that, she ran out in a hurry.
Zhou Ying was stunned, but she didnât bother too much about it. Instead, she sat in the shed and drank the water.
About two hours later, Gu Chengrui and the others had finally finished treating the wounds on Chunhongâs husband, Guo Chengsong.
After that, Gu Chengrui got the two young men to help him. They carried him to the bed in the west room and covered him with a clean quilt. âHis injuries are too serious. He should stay here and be observed.
âGo back and tell Auntie Hua to pay five taels of silver for the consultation and medical fees first, and the rest will either be refunded or added on.â
âFive taels? This much?â One of them exclaimed.
âThe medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs alone cost three taels of silver, and this doesnât include the medicine to replenish his blood later, nor my fee.â Gu Chengrui explained patiently.
The two young men looked at each other and kept quiet. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
This was because they had seen eight different-sized wounds on the patientâs body. Medicine powder was sprinkled on the wounds constantly to stop the blood from flowing out, and the dressing was changed repeatedly.
Thinking of this, the two of them nodded and turned to leave.
Gu Chengxi looked at the exhausted Gu Chengrui and felt embarrassed to stay longer. He turned around and went home to eat.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui took the bloodied bandage and found Zhou Ying. âBabe, send me into the interspace. He needs a blood transfusion, or today will be dangerous for him.â
âNo wonder you asked for five taels of silver.â Zhou Ying paused before asking, âBy the way, what do you want to eat for dinner? Iâm going to cook now..â
