Chapter 227
227 Chapter 227 acting as her own character
The strange feeling on his shoulder made Xia Pingan open his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder, which made him break out in a cold sweat.
Then, Xia Pingan found himself lying on a simple wooden bed in a straw shed. There were many injured villagers lying here.
Not far away, the thatched cottages that were on fire in the village were still burning. The smaller fires had just been put out and were still smoking. Faint wails and cries could be heard everywhere in the village. It was a sad scene.
His chest was exposed, and a thin old man in linen clothes was standing in front of the bed, using a tool to pull out the arrow on his left shoulder.
hold him down. Don’t let him move. Otherwise, he’ll bleed even more, ” the old man instructed the two people by the bed as he lowered his head and pulled the arrows out of Xia Pingan’s body, as if he hadn’t noticed that Xia Pingan had woken up.
Two men dressed in zhao state cavalry uniforms stood by the bed and pressed down on Xia ping ‘an’s hands and waist, afraid that Xia ping’ an would move.
Other than her left shoulder, Xia Pingan realized that her pants had also been cut open. The arrow in her thigh had also been removed and bandaged.
there’s no need to massage me. I can handle Yingluo. Yingluo won’t move, ” Xia Pingan said. When he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was hoarse and a little weak.
Only then did the three people by the bed realize that Xia Pingan had woken up.
The old man glanced at Xia Pingan and smiled. The wrinkles on his face suddenly squeezed into a ball. you’re indeed a young man. Your body is strong. You’ve been shot by two arrows and bled so much, but you woke up so quickly. Don’t worry, those two arrows didn’t hit your vital parts. You’re so strong. As long as you take some medicine and don’t have a fever, you’ll be able to recover in a few days after this!
That old man should be a doctor. Xia Pingan looked to the side and realized that there was a box next to his clothes. In the box, there were still elm trees, Sophora flowers, Stork grass, purple beads, stove heart soil, and other things.
boy, you’re not bad. I heard that you’ve killed four Xiongnu people despite being injured. Good job, you’ll definitely make it, ” a bearded man among the two Zhao soldiers standing by the bed looked at Xia Pingan with admiration and said.
As the soldier from the state of zhao was speaking, the old man in linen clothes was already preparing to bandage Xia Pingan with hemostatic drugs.
Looking at the medicinal herbs used by the old man and the unsterilized linen strip, Xia Pingan’s heart jumped in fear. She quickly said, ” doctor, the medicine used by the two doctors is wrong. Although these two medicines can stop bleeding, they are more suitable for bleeding due to excessive blood heat. I’m now injured by a sword. By the way, do you have any Bucktooth? if you can find one, the wound will heal faster.
That old man should only be a village doctor with ordinary medical skills. He only knew a little about the medicinal properties of those Chinese medicines. Hearing Xia ping ‘an’s words, the old man in sackcloth stopped in his tracks. Not only him, but even the two soldiers beside him looked at Xia ping’ an with a shocked expression.
“Yingluo, you know how to use medicine?” The old man asked carefully, his tone had changed.
He was someone who had been bianque, didn’t he know how to use medicine? Xia ping ‘an smiled bitterly. After others fused with the realm Pearl, the things they had learned in the realm Pearl would disappear from their memories due to the existence of the mystery of the boundary between realms. However, he didn’t know how to do it. Therefore, he knew all the methods that Bian Que knew. The best doctor in the Warring States was lying here, and that old man still asked him if he knew how to use medicine.
In this era, being a doctor was a high-level skill that ordinary people had a hard time mastering. Medical books such as ” the list of herbs ” had not been born yet. Most of the skills of a doctor were learned from the master. They knew what the master taught them. People who could name the herbs and their medicinal properties were rare animals no matter where they went.
yes, I met an old man in the mountains before. He taught me something. By the way, don’t use the sackcloth to wrap my wounds yet. Put the sackcloth in a pot and boil it in hot water. After it’s dried, use it to wrap my wounds. Then, the chances of my wounds festering will be very low, ” Xia Pingan said quickly.
Hearing Xia Pingan’s words, the old man was even more surprised. His attitude towards Xia Pingan had become more respectful. He asked carefully, ” what exactly is that Jackal you mentioned? ”
The Bucktooth dagger could reduce inflammation and prevent the wound from getting infected. However, it was very complicated to explain these things. Xia Pingan could only say, ” I don’t know what it is either. I only know that it is useful for injuries. The Bucktooth is hairless, the stem is flat and spread out on the ground, and the branches are light green or dark red. You should be able to find the jacktooth everywhere.
Yingluo, I think I’ve seen this thing before, Yingluo. the old man had a reminiscing look on his face. Then, he glanced at the wound on Xia Pingan’s body and said with a little embarrassment, ” well, the arrow has been pulled out of your body. Yingluo, what do you think we should do now, Yingluo? ”
“Do you have any silver needles on you?” Xia Pingan asked.
The old man was a little embarrassed. Silver needles were a doctor’s medical tool, so the old man naturally brought them with him. However, he brought them just to put on a front. Using silver needles was a high-level skill. Even his master didn’t know how to use silver needles, so he didn’t know much about it, let alone using silver needles to treat arrow injuries.
I did bring it, but it’s just that … the old man wanted to say that he didn’t know how to use it, but he was a little embarrassed.
let me try it on, Yingluo, ” Xia Pingan said.
The old man quickly and carefully took out a needle pouch wrapped in cloth from his medicine box. He opened it and handed it to Xia Pingan. The needle pouch was filled with thin silver needles that were more than four inches long.
Xia Pingan’s right hand could still move. He sat up and looked at the silver needle. He took out a silver needle and pricked it a few times on the acupuncture points on his body. The blood from the wound on his shoulder instantly stopped.
It was easy to tell whether an expert had it or not.
The old man had only heard of the method of using silver needles to stop bleeding, but he had never seen it before. This was because this was the method of a top doctor. Even the old man’s master didn’t know how to do it. Seeing that Xia Pingan was so skilled, the old man and the two Zhao soldiers beside him widened their eyes as if they were watching a miracle.
The two soldiers of zhao state had been on the battlefield for many years and had seen many cases of injuries and bleeding, but they had never seen anyone with such means.
If the old man had still had some doubts about what Xia Pingan had said just now, then now, he no longer had any doubts about Xia Pingan’s ability. Instead, he respected him as if he were a celestial being.
It would be easy with the silver needles!
Xia Pingan inserted a few needles into herself, and the effect was immediate. The pain from the wound, the bleeding, and other symptoms were greatly relieved.
After that, Xia ping ‘an remade the medicine and asked the old man to apply it on his wound. The old man also found a new sackcloth and bandaged Xia ping’ an’s wound.
As for the rest of the sackcloth, he asked the women in the village to immediately boil it in water and dry it before using it.
As for the other injured villagers ‘wounds, the old man also applied the newly-made medicine on them according to Xia Pingan’s instructions.
The treatment in the straw shed had unknowingly become led by Xia Pingan, and the old man had become Xia Pingan’s assistant, obeying his every word.
As he listened to Xia Pingan’s instructions, the old man was not unhappy at all. Instead, he was happy. To the doctor, Xia Pingan was teaching him how to do it, how to prescribe medicine, and how to deal with the wounds. This was a chance that was hard to come by.
The two soldiers who had been by Xia ping ‘an’s bed saw Xia ping’ an’s ability and looked at each other. After exchanging a look, one of them immediately ran away, leaving only one soldier to stay by Xia ping ‘an’s side and guard his surroundings vigilantly.
In less than ten minutes, a general of zhao state in armor, surrounded by a group of cavalrymen and lieutenants, strode to the straw shed.
At this time, the women in the village had already boiled the sackcloth in hot water and brought over the dried sackcloth.
The sun above their heads was very poisonous, and it didn’t take long for the boiled sackcloth to be dried. As all the wounded men here were waiting for medical treatment, the women in the village were pretty agile in their work.
When the general of zhao state arrived, Xia ping ‘an was already able to get out of bed and move around. He was teaching the old man how to press the blood vessels and then quickly bandaged an injured villager to stop the bleeding. Many people were watching curiously from the side. The villager’s wound was treated by the old man in a short time.
The general took a few glances at him and walked directly to Xia ping ‘an. He forced a smile on his face and said, ” I heard that your name is Xia ping’ an, and you are a Ranger in this village!
Upon hearing this, Xia Pingan was stunned. After merging so many realm pearls, this was the first time he heard someone call his name in the realm Pearl.
Could it be that the realm Pearl of the men from Yanzhao was to allow the person who had fused with it to ‘act as himself’ in the world of the realm Pearl?
Previously, he had wondered why this realm Pearl was so strange. It only had a region, and the characters were also group characters. There was no specific character at all.
Xia ping ‘an looked at the expressions of the villagers around her. They looked as if they were used to it and it was only natural.
Rangers indeed appeared during the Warring States period. For example, ” Tian Guang “, who Xia Pingan became last time, was one of the best among the Rangers. From a Ranger, he became a ” hero. especially in Yan Zhao, it had always been the forefront of the confrontation between the agricultural civilization and the nomadic civilization. Since ancient times, the people had been fierce, and there were Rangers everywhere.
From the point of view of the later generations, the general role of a Ranger was that of a security guard in a village and a young man in the underworld. The high-level role was that of a noble, a doctor, a guest, a bodyguard, and so on. A Ranger was a way and a social profession for many young people to find life opportunities and survive.
ahem, ping ‘an, the general is asking you a question. One of the villagers saw that Xia ping ‘an was in a daze and reminded him.
Xia ping ‘an greets general Jian Jia. Xia ping’ an bowed to the general.
