I was surprised when I saw Liu Tingting taking out a series of medical supplies from her small handbag.
In addition to being proficient in dragon hunting methods, Liu Tingting has also systematically learned emergency treatment in the wild. In the past, whenever anyone had any injuries, she would disinfect and bandage them. There is no doubt about this.
What surprised me was that I didn't expect that Liu Tingting would take this small medical kit wherever she went, but this also solved an urgent need.
Liu Tingting's technique was very skillful. She stopped the bleeding, disinfected and bandaged it. The operation was completed in just a few minutes.
When Liu Tingting was bandaging the old man selling melons, I wanted to walk into the house several times to take a look, but the door was so big that it was only big enough for one person to pass through, and the old man selling melons seemed to be blocking the door intentionally. Wouldn't let me in.
So I could only stand at the door, taking advantage of my height to look into the room, but still couldn't see anything.
Such a large piece of meat was bitten off, and the old melon seller was so painful that he was sweating profusely and grinning. But what I didn't expect was that the old melon seller didn't even say a word. This is what made me the most I admire it. If it had been me, I would have screamed in pain.
"Old man, what happened just now? What happened to the wound on your arm?"
Liu Tingting and I asked questions one after another, both of our eyes staring directly at the old man selling melons.
The old man selling melons froze for a moment, his eyes evasive, as if he was hiding something.
Seeing that I also asked, the old melon seller reluctantly showed disapproval and said to me and Liu Tingting: "Oh, it's okay, I was just bitten by a mouse."
"mouse!"
Liu Tingting and I looked at each other, and obviously we both felt that what the old melon seller said was too unbelievable.
The wound was as big as an egg. If it was really bitten by a mouse, then how big must the mouse be?
Seeing that the old melon seller's eyes were still evasive when he answered, I was sure that his wound was definitely not a rat bite, and he must be trying his best to hide something.
In addition, the old man selling melons always refused to let us enter the house and leave in front of us, which made me feel that there was something wrong.
Although I was suspicious, I couldn't rush in forcefully. Since the people involved said everything was fine, there must be something unspeakable that they didn't want to tell outsiders like us, so I couldn't force it.
Seeing that the old melon seller didn't want to say anything, we both knew better and stopped asking. However, from the perspective of medical care, Liu Tingting still suggested: "Old man, your wound is not small. I can only give you a simple treatment." You'd better go to the hospital for a hemostatic bandage, otherwise the wound is likely to become suppurative, and since it was bitten by a rat, it must be vaccinated against plague, and this must not be done carelessly!"
"I know the child, I will go to the hospital. It's not too early now. It will be dark soon and the road will be difficult. You should leave as soon as possible."
The old man’s consciousness couldn’t be more clear. He was sending guests away and asking us to leave.
Now that everyone has issued an eviction order, there is no need for Liu Tingting and I to stay. Besides, the old man selling melons is right. It is really getting late, and the sky has become foggy. I'm sure it will rain again soon.
"Let's go!"
I turned around and looked at Liu Tingting, then turned around and walked out of the room.
Liu Tingting also followed me out, and the old man selling melons also came out.
Liu Tingting and I had already left the small fenced courtyard, but we didn't expect Liu Tingting to turn around and go back.
Seeing Liu Tingting suddenly leaving and returning, the old melon seller suddenly became nervous and hurriedly walked towards Liu Tingting, but in fact he seemed to be planning to stop Liu Tingting from moving forward.
"Girl, do you have anything else to do?"
Liu Tingting smiled when she heard this, opened her handbag again, and took out a few more red tickets, "Old man, your wound is really deep and must be treated. It's not easy for you, old man. You can use this money to see a doctor."
"Oh, girl, old man, how can I ask for your money? I don't even know your name!" The old man quickly raised his hand to refuse.
"My name is Liu Tingting, you can just call me Tingting. I don't have too much cash with me. This is all I have in my bag. Don't be too little, old man."
The old man selling melons still refused, but in the end Liu Tingting forced the money into his hands.
"Good boy...good boy...!"
Liu Tingting's move actually made the old melon seller choke with emotion. Muddy tears flowed down his face full of wrinkles, and the hand holding the money was trembling.
"Old man, just keep it. It's not easy for you to sell this watermelon. By the way, didn't you say you have a wife at home? You didn't see her just now. Are you not feeling well?"
"If that's the case, we have to keep the money. Then we can buy some nutritional supplements for the old lady. It's good for the body. So let's do this for now. We'll leave first. Goodbye, old lady!"
After saying that, Liu Tingting waved goodbye to the melon seller, and then walked out of the fenced courtyard.
Liu Tingting and I both had questions in our minds. Because we couldn't get the answers, we didn't talk much along the way.
There are unpredictable weather conditions, and the Sichuan and Sichuan lands, especially those close to rivers, are even more unpredictable.
Looking at the gray sky, I thought it might rain, but I didn't expect the rain to come so quickly. Not long after Liu Tingting and I came out of the old melon seller's house, before we even walked out of the mountain road, a thunderous thunder fell. It started pouring rain.
The sudden heavy rain caught the two of us unprepared, so we could only temporarily hide in a small bamboo forest on the roadside to avoid the rain.
The bamboo forest is not the best place to shelter from the rain. Under the heavy downpour, the bamboo forest was simply useless. In just a moment, Liu Tingting and I were drenched from head to toe, just like two drowned rats.
Although it is hot in Shu, it is still spring and has not yet fully entered summer, so the rain is still very cold when it hits you.
As a young man, I was better off, but Liu Tingting, a girl, was already weak in Yang Huo, and now that she was drenched in the rain, she was shivering all the time.
The sky also started to get darker and darker, which made me feel very depressed. Maybe Liu Tingting and I would have to spend the night in the bamboo forest. If it rained for another night, it would be strange not to get sick.
Looking at the smoky heavy rain, I kept complaining, but at this moment, I saw a man walking towards us quickly holding an umbrella.
"Oh, kids, you are indeed here. Hurry up and put up your umbrella, don't get sick from the dripping!"
It turned out to be the old man selling melons, and he rushed over to give us umbrellas.
After taking over the umbrella, Liu Tingting and I hugged each other, with faces full of gratitude to the old man selling melons.
"Old man, thank you very much!"
"Thank you for nothing. You are all good children. Old man, I should thank you. It is too unsafe to go back in such a heavy rain. If you don't dislike the old man's simple home, you can stay here tonight and wait until it rains tomorrow." Stop and start again, okay?"
At first, the old man selling melons tried every means to drive us away. Now, not only did he bring umbrellas to me and Liu Tingting in the rain, but he also invited us to spend the night at his house, which really made me feel flattered.
I turned my head and glanced at Liu Tingting, who was trembling and trembling next to me, and couldn't help but smile in my heart. It seemed that this was the return of Liu Tingting's overwhelming love.
The old melon seller said so, so naturally we agreed on the spot.
On the one hand, it was a rainy day. If we had not gone, Liu Tingting and I would have been soaked in the rain all night. Even if we could walk back to the county town, we would inevitably fall ill due to the long-term low temperature, not to mention that When we get to the county, we also need to find a hotel to stay in.
There is another aspect, and that is what happened to the old man selling melons. If you follow him back, maybe the reason for this will be explained.
