Li Min looked at his wounds and felt like crying. He picked up the alcohol bottle, paused, and then said with a bitter face: "Third brother, I was wrong... It was my fault. What I just said was just a quick word." , I didn’t mean that.”
"I said, you can do it yourself. It doesn't matter if you don't disinfect." Li Ke said calmly, "The longer the time goes on, the greater the chance of infection."
Looking at the third brother standing there, Li Min trembled a little. In the end, he could only raise his hands tremblingly.
"Use chopsticks scalded with boiling water to pick up the alcohol cotton in the bottle, then clean the soil from the wound, and then replace it until the wound is clean." Li Ke gave instructions from the side.
Li Min gritted his teeth and began to follow Li Ke's instructions. His legs were already hurting, but this time there was even more dirt in the wound. If he wanted to clean it and wipe it off, he had to use force. As soon as he applied force... the wound would get worse. pain.
But now he didn't dare to cry out the pain, so he could only grit his teeth and start cleaning.
When Li Min finished treating the wounds on his legs, his entire forehead and face were covered with cold sweat. He had never suffered such a crime since he was a child. This was the first time, let alone Get it for yourself.
"Give the medicine yourself." Li Ke asked the medical officer to ask for the powder and handed it to him.
These golden sore medicines for treating abrasions are also very painful... Anyone who has used Yunnan Baiyao powder for injuries in their previous lives will know that it is more sour and refreshing than alcohol cleaning.
"Hiss..." When the powder was poured in, Li Min shuddered and gasped, and his legs trembled.
In the end, he held back, because now he was the one who gave himself the medicine, and no one could scold him, and...he didn't dare. If he really scolded him, he was afraid that the third brother would let him do it again.
Finally, when the medicinal powder was ready, Li Ke asked the medical officer to wrap his legs with gauze, mainly because his own technique was too poor.
The weather is still relatively cool now, so I'm not afraid of being too hot. In fact, the wound almost recovered after one night, and I will continue to polish it tomorrow.
"Third brother..." After the wound was wrapped, Li Min looked at Li Ke pitifully and said, "I hurt so much. How can I ride a horse tomorrow like this?"
"Keep riding, it doesn't matter. Just keep grinding for a while. When the wound heals, it will gradually turn into calluses and it won't hurt anymore." Li Ke smiled and said cruel words in a gentle tone.
Li Min was about to cry: "Third brother, I really can't do it. I'm afraid of falling off the horse."
"It's okay. You won't die if you fall. I'll have someone tie you to the saddle with a rope. It won't be a big problem." Li Ke said calmly.
Li Min: "..."
"You, take off your clothes and leave your underwear on." Li Ke pointed directly at a guard next to him.
Without saying a word, the guard immediately began to take off his armor. When he was left with only his underwear, Li Ke pointed at the calluses on his inner thighs and said, "Did you see it? How do you think they rubbed it out?" ? Training every day, popping blisters, applying medicine, and continuing tomorrow. This is how you practice layer by layer."
"Did you see the wounds on his body?" Li Ke pointed to the scratches, knife wounds, etc. on the guard.
"I saw it." Li Min's expression was a little dazed. He was indeed shocked by the scars on the guard's body.
"There are things left over from training and on the battlefield. None of them are left over from eating, drinking and having fun. Who do you think gave you your life? Did your father give it to you? No, it was people like them who gave it to you. of!"
Li Ke pointed to the busy guards outside and said, everyone will sleep outdoors in the courtyard tonight. Three thousand cavalry do not have so many rooms, and it is impossible to carry so many tents.
The inn can do its best to prepare fodder and food for so many horses.
Li Min glanced at all the guards. Most of them were still busy cleaning the place where they would sleep tonight. Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian were not far away, and they were silent and did not speak.
"You know?" Seeing Li Min in a daze, Li Ke added lightly, "Because you are my brother, you have this good quality alcohol. After they were injured, they only had ordinary drinks, and Ordinary alcohol cannot be completely disinfected, which means they still have a chance of wound infection and death."
"But they never complained."
"Without their protection, what would you do, Li Min? Without your status as a prince, you would have been beaten to death long ago for what you did in Chang'an."
"Okay, I'm too lazy to tell you, okay, pack your things, get ready to rest, get up early tomorrow and go on your way." Li Ke waved his hand.
Everyone got busy immediately. The medical officer packed up the medicines, and the other guards also prepared their own places to rest.
Li Min just watched this silently, he couldn't do anything now.
Finally, at night, Li Ke had someone throw him into the room. It wasn't that Li Ke felt sorry for him, but... after taking part of the heavy medicine, he had to give some more sweet dates, and then he would continue to take it during the day tomorrow. medicine.
"Your Highness, please go to your room and rest. They have prepared a room for you." Su Dingfang came over and said softly.
"No, I can just stay outside. I have to take off my armor when I go back to my room to rest. I won't wear it tomorrow and it will affect my schedule." Li Ke shook his head and found a pile of hay to lie down in the yard.
Su Dingfang was silent for a moment and stopped talking. He quickly found a place to lie down not far from Li Ke.
The night soon became quiet, and Li Ke slept outside, but he still covered himself with a blanket.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Min woke up early. His legs were still a little sore, but it was not a pain from the wound. The wound no longer affected walking.
He slept very well last night. There was no one here to help him get dressed. Fortunately, Li Min still knew how to get dressed. After putting on his clothes, Li Min opened the door in front of him.
When he pushed away, he soon saw Li Ke sleeping there leaning on the hay pile.
Some guards in the yard have already gotten up, and the postmen at the post station have distributed steamed buns to them to carry. The guards who got up are starting to refill everyone's water bags with fresh water.
After seeing him, many guards silently saluted him, but did not speak. They just moved very carefully, trying not to wake up Li Ke who was still sleeping.
Li Ke woke up soon. When he saw Li startled, he didn't say anything. Instead, he ordered everyone to set off directly after breakfast.
After breakfast, Li Min quickly reached the side of his horse, but when he saw a layer of thick cushions on both sides of the saddle, he fell silent. If he remembered correctly, that cushion belonged to the third brother.
"Your Highness has set off. His Highness King Qin has already arrived at the front." The guard following Li Min whispered.
Li Min opened his mouth to say something, but finally held back and could only silently get on his horse.
