Everyone was afraid of the chasing troops, and they didn't care about the direction, they just walked aimlessly as far away from the water stronghold as possible.
But after half an hour, no one was seen in the water village, so he slowed down the speed of the oar.
Everyone was injured, and they had been busy for a while and were already exhausted.
Thirteen tore off the cloth strips on his body and wanted to bandage Qin Lie's wound.
Xu He saw his dirty clothes and quickly stopped him: "You can't bandage it, it will cause infection!"
"Infected?" Everyone looked at Xu He in confusion.
Accidentally, he said the noun of later generations, and Xu He said: "Your clothes are too dirty. Bandaging them will make the wound suppurate, and the injured person will have a high fever!"
After saying this, everyone understood.
But I understand that the wounds on Qin Lie's arms and back are too deep. If not treated, he will bleed to death.
Seeing that the group had no idea, Xu He simply said: "Is there any place that the water village can't find temporarily?"
Thirteen shook his head: "Not on the lake. The previous Pony Island was not safe. No one goes there on weekdays. But if you really want to look for it, someone will search it soon."
"It's safest to go ashore now!"
Xu He said: "Then come ashore!"
When Thirteen heard this, a look of vigilance immediately appeared in his eyes: "No, we can't go ashore. At this time, the officers and soldiers must have set their sights on searching for Japanese pirates along the Taihu Lake. If we go ashore, we are throwing ourselves into a trap."
Xu He frowned and said, "If you don't go ashore and you're not in the lake, what will happen to Qin Lie's injury?"
"It's none of your business!" Thirteen was very wary of Xu He.
After saying that, he turned around and ordered the knife to bring some lake water to boil, and helped Qin Lie wipe the wound.
Qin Lie's face was pale due to excessive blood loss, and his lips were even frighteningly white.
Xu He originally didn't want to care about this man's life and death, but seeing the blood flowing out of his wound, the thirteenth-level rough man had no nursing knowledge at all and could only use his hands to press on it.
Xu He finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"Get out of the way!"
Everyone on the boat was helpless and looked at Xu He blankly.
Xu He didn't waste any time and said directly: "Here, someone, find a clean cloth and boil it in water!"
Where is the clean cloth at this stall?
Everyone looked at his Confucian robe.
Xu He took the knife directly from Shisan's hand, cut a piece of cloth on his robe and tore it off with his hands.
The moon-white robe is made of fine cloth, which can be used as a bandage when boiled.
Not seeing enough, he simply took off his robe, washed it all in the lake water, and finally threw it all into the pot.
After the water boiled, he took out a piece of cloth and wiped the wounds on Qin Lie's body carefully, and then pressed the boiled cloth on the wounds.
Then, he asked someone to dry the remaining cloth at the stern of the boat, waiting to dry before bandaging.
After finishing all this, Xu He wiped his sweat and said, "No, this won't work. If we don't find a doctor quickly, Qin Lie won't be able to hold on for long. Can you find a doctor?"
Daozi said quickly: "There is a doctor in the village..."
After saying that, he also knew that he had a bad idea.
On the one hand, it is necessary to go ashore, but on the other hand, it is risky to go ashore.
Everyone on the boat fell silent.
Xu He had done everything he could do. Now he sat in the cabin and stopped talking. He only used boiled cloth to replace the wet cloth on Qin Lie's wound from time to time.
But moisture can easily breed bacteria, and you can’t leave the wound alone. You can’t just imitate the soldering iron in the movie, right?
It is estimated that when he said this, he was going to be branded by these people!
It's okay to ask these guys to fight, but to ask them to think about it, it's just because Xu He is looking down on them.
The group of people let the boat float on the lake aimlessly and argued for a long time without coming up with a serious idea.
Some people say they want to go to Suzhou Mansion, and some people say they want to go back to the village.
Of course, some people say they want to go to Huzhou.
But as soon as an idea is born, there is endless bickering.
Xu He didn't want to worry about it. He was really tired in the past two days. Even if these people were arguing, it wouldn't affect his sleep.
But just when he was sleeping soundly, he was shaken awake.
The force that shook his body was so strong that he felt dizzy as soon as he woke up.
"Scholar, what's wrong with this scholar? Get up and take a look. Third brother is burning all over! He's starting to talk nonsense!"
When Xu He heard this, he sat up straight with a "dong" sound.
It was getting late at this time, and one person held an oil lamp, covered it with his hand, and placed it next to Qin Lie.
At this time, Qin Lie startled Xu He. His whole face was not only pale, but also a little green and black.
His lips were chapped and he was speaking intermittently.
"Jin'er, second uncle..."
"Jin'er, second uncle..."
Xu He frowned and said, "When did you start talking nonsense?"
Thirteen said: "Just now!"
Xu He paused and scanned everyone's faces with his eyes. Each of the big men looked at him expectantly, as if a scholar was omnipotent and wanted him to save Qin Lie.
He said coldly: "What was the result of your discussion?"
The thirteen and others all lowered their heads, not knowing what to say.
Xu He sneered: "Since you have no idea, can you just listen to me now?"
Thirteen said: "Scholar, tell us, let's listen!"
"Haha!" Xu He cursed in his heart. He still didn't trust him, but it didn't matter anymore. He said directly: "You stay on the lake, and I will take Qin Lie to Huzhou to treat his injuries!"
This time when he said that he was going to Huzhou, everyone no longer had the fierce opposition just now. Thirteen said: "But..."
Xu He didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said directly: "No but, if you don't go, you will die. You make your own choice!"
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Finally, Shisan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll accompany Third Brother ashore. You guys wait for me on the boat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Daozi, who had been silent all this time, said, "Brother Thirteen, the brothers are still pointing at you. I will accompany this young master to treat Brother Three's injuries!"
Thirteen said: "Okay, Brother Daozi, keep an eye on him, don't let him kill the third brother!"
"Wait a minute!" Xu He said: "I said, I will take him to the shore to treat his injuries, but I can't guarantee that I can save his life. If he dies, don't blame me!"
Thirteen wanted to say something, and finally nodded heavily: "Yeah!"
The boat rowed towards Huzhou.
Qin Lie's condition is getting worse and worse.
After finally reaching the shore, Xu He asked: "What place is this?"
Thirteenth said: "Not far ahead when we enter the inland river is Da'an Bin. It is a small village by the river. The river there is secluded and uninhabited. We can only send you there!"
Sure enough, the ship entered the inland river and stopped soon after.
"We're here!" Thirteen said solemnly.
Just as Xu He was about to get up and get off the boat, his wrist seemed to be held by iron pliers. When he looked up, he saw Thirteen saying: "Scholar, we exchanged our own lives and the lives of our family for the third brother. You...please" Got it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a boatload of ferocious water bandits all clasped their fists and said, "Please!"
Xu He glanced at them, said nothing, got up and got off the boat.
Qin Lie followed him ashore with the knife on his back.
When Xu He turned around, everyone on the boat was still holding their fists and looking at him.
Daozi said: "Let's go!"
