Gan Ning blinked after hearing Lu Xuan's words.
Somewhat eccentric.
Lu Xuan's words seemed to have some meaning in them, and he responded in this way deliberately. He had some suspicions, but wasn't sure enough.
Gan Ning shook his head slightly, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, decided to push forward at his own pace, and said in a deep voice: "Prefect Lu, an old brother under my command was injured by an arrow. He was seriously injured and his life was in danger. Please ask Lu The governor saved his life."
Lu Xuan ordered: "Bring the people here."
Gan Ning's eyes flashed with anticipation, and he ordered: "Go and bring He Laoliu here."
The soldiers went to take the people, and after a while, He Laoliu was carried over. He Laoliu looked to be in his thirties, with a good-natured appearance and a big frame, but he was already skinny and skinny. He was lying on a wooden board, covered with a filthy bedding.
He Laoliu's whole body was wilted, his eyes were lifeless, and he already looked terminally ill.
Especially He Laoliu's clothes were very old, and because he hadn't taken a shower for a long time, he already had a strong smell on his body.
When He Laoliu was brought to Lu Xuan, Gan Ning stared at Lu Xuan and observed Lu Xuan's reaction. From beginning to end, Gan Ning did not see any frown or disgust on Lu Xuan's face.
Gan Ning had some understanding of people from the rich clan.
These people from big families, these scholars, consider themselves to be superiors, and they look down on the losers who serve as soldiers. What's more, He Laoliu was very dirty and smelly, and he was injured, which even Gan Ning couldn't bear.
Gan Ning noticed the expressions of Zhou Tai, Lu Meng and others. They all frowned when they smelled the smell.
However, Lu Xuan remained unchanged.
Lu Xuan looked calm and asked: "What is the condition of Brother He's arrow wound?"
Gan Ning replied eagerly: "He Laoliu was hit by an arrow in his left arm. The injury spread and the wound eroded and suppurated. He is drowsy and his life is hanging by a thread. Please ask Prefect Lu for help."
Lu Xuan squatted down directly.
He lifted up the quilt covering He Laoliu, then lifted up his clothes, and saw the wound on his shoulder. The arrowhead has been pulled out, but the piece of rotten flesh next to the arrowhead is already the size of a palm, and it is completely eroded, suppurating and swollen.
Lu Xuan looked serious and asked, "Gan Ning, didn't you seek treatment from a doctor?"
Gan Ning looked helpless, clenched his fists, and said: "When He Laoliu was injured, I applied it with golden sore medicine. But it didn't work. I went to ask a doctor for treatment, but no one wanted to come. In the end, I just tied him up. I went to see a doctor, but after the doctor made a diagnosis, he said he was terminally ill and could only wait to die because he could not suppress his condition."
Lu Xuan stared at He Laoliu and asked, "Can you speak?"
"able!"
He Laoliu replied hoarsely.
The voice was weak and very difficult.
Lu Xuan nodded and touched He Laoliu's forehead again. Although He Laoliu was groggy, he didn't have a fever for the time being. He was glad in his heart, because if he already had a fever, it would be difficult to do. In fact, the wound has spread to this point and is already approaching this trend.
The condition worsens and once a fever occurs, it is difficult to treat. There were no antibiotics to treat infections in this era, and it was impossible to find a doctor like Hua Tuo to treat him.
Lu Xuan's eyes were determined and he said: "Your illness is very serious. If you leave it alone, you may die soon. I am taking over the treatment now, and there is a certain chance of surviving. Do you want to take a gamble? If you get through it, you can You're alive and kicking. If you don't make it through, you're going to die."
"I bet."
He Laoliu mustered up all his strength to speak.
He was actually prepared to die, because two people who were injured by arrows like him were already dead.
He was the only one who was still enduring.
In the past, when He Laoliu was injured, the wounds scabbed and healed quickly. Only this time, it dragged on and couldn't recover for several days. Instead, it slowly worsened, and it didn't recover even after using gold trauma medicine.
Even when the doctors came, they said they couldn't save her.
Lu Xuan looked at Gan Ning again and asked, "Brother Gan, let me ask you again, do you want me to treat him? After all, these are your soldiers."
Gan Ning was stunned for a moment.
He has long been used to life and death. Although he is also sad about the death of his brother, there is nothing he can do about it. He had long given up hope for He Laoliu's injury. The reason why He Laoliu was brought out was just because He Laoliu was sour and smelly. He wanted to take this opportunity to see if Lu Xuan's attitude would be like discarding it like worn out shoes and showing disgust.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan didn't feel any disgust at all.
On the contrary, he was extremely enthusiastic.
Gan Ning came back to his senses, felt a little moved in his heart, and solemnly said: "Prefect Lu, He Laoliu will leave it to you."
Lu Xuan said: "I am only responsible for guiding and arranging, I cannot do the specific operations. To treat He Laoliu, you have to find someone with steady hands."
Gan Ning said, "I'll come."
Hope suddenly rose in his heart.
What if it's done?
He inexplicably believed in Lu Xuan, because Lu Xuan was different from him. Even if he has read a book, he is still a coward and a martial artist.
Lu Xuan was different, he came from a big family.
Lu Xuan ordered: "Our two ships should first find a place to dock, find an open space on the shore, and set up a tent to treat He Laoliu. Otherwise, the ship will be swaying. It’s not easy to arrange.”
Gan Ning said, "I listen to Prefect Lu."
"Everyone listened to the order and released the grappling hooks, and the two ships immediately docked."
The Jinfan soldiers retracted their hooks, pulled back to the deck, and continued to drive forward for a while before finding a suitable place to dock.
Gan Ning ordered people to set up a tent on the shore and move He Laoliu into the tent.
Lu Xuan came with him, looked at He Laoliu lying on the wooden board, and ordered: "First boil a basin of hot water, scrub He Laoliu's body, and change into clean and fresh clothes. Even if he is going to die, he must be clean. How can you just ignore it when it's so clean? Remember, when you scrub your body, don't get even a drop of water on the wound."
Gan Ning smiled and said: "Prefect Lu, scrubbing is no problem. But I don't have any extra clothes on my boat. It's a cold day, and many brothers don't have enough clothes to wear, so there is no extra. And the clothes on the brothers, Usually worn all the time.”
Lu Xuan looked at Lu Meng and ordered: "Lu Meng, go get my clothes and two jars of Feixian wine. I will use them."
"Here!"
Lu Meng took the black armored soldiers into action.
Gan Ning saw this and followed the arrangements. Jin Fanbing heated up hot water, scrubbed He Laoliu, and then changed into clothes.
He Laoliu was wearing warm and clean clothes and felt somewhat refreshed. Although his head was a little dizzy, as if he was going to die at any time, a bright smile appeared on his face, and the eyes he looked at Lu Xuan were filled with gratitude.
"Prefect Lu, thank you."
"I, He Laoliu, died. I didn't expect to be able to wear such good clothes. If I die now, it will be worth it. Those old brothers who died would have a bamboo mat wrapped around their bodies when they died, and their bodies would not be exposed. The wilderness is a great blessing."
"If I die like this, I'll probably look like a person with status when I'm underground."
He Laoliu spoke nonchalantly, breathing a little quickly, and said, "I feel like I can't hold it any longer. Thank you, Governor Lu."
Gan Ning's eyes moistened after hearing this.
Many of his brothers died. Most of them were buried directly after death, and most of them were buried wrapped in bamboo mats.
This is a helpless move.
Lu Xuan's eyes were sharp and he said loudly: "As long as I, Lu Xuan, are here, you can't die. If your heart is dead and you are afraid, no one can save you. If you are not afraid of death, then even if the King of Hell comes, he will not be able to save you. Let's go. I heard that the Jinfan thief is not afraid of death, not even death. Why do you look like a coward at this time?"
This is a curse word.
But when Gan Ning and his Jinfan soldiers heard this, their expressions were moved, and they looked at Lu Xuan with more recognition.
When He Laoliu heard Lu Xuan's words, a look of joy appeared in his eyes. He mustered up his strength and said loudly: "Prefect Lu, I will definitely survive."
"I expect you to survive."
Lu Xuan nodded, looked at Gan Ning and said, "Now, there are two things."
Gan Ning said, "Please give me your orders, Prefect Lu."
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "First, cut the clothes on He Laoliu's injured shoulder directly to expose the injured area. All of it should be exposed."
"Second, find some rotten cloth strips, wash them and throw them into boiling water to boil them again. Then wet the cloth strips with Feixian wine and clean the purulent wounds bit by bit. The previous gold wound medicine must be washed away to remove the suppuration. Wash the rotten meat."
"In addition, prepare some boiled cloth strips and dry them over a fire. After the wound is treated, you should use such cloth strips to wrap it."
Gan Ning listened to Lu Xuan's instructions without understanding, and felt inexplicably confident in his heart.
He felt that it seemed possible.
Gan Ning ordered, Jin Fanbing quickly prepared, and then carefully treated the wound. Lu Xuan stood aside and gave pointers. In fact, he had no choice but to do his best to clean and treat the wounds. He could only do his best and obey fate.
It took more than two-quarters of an hour to finish everything. He Laoliu grimaced in pain from cleaning the wound. He had a wooden stick between his teeth, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
However, he remained silent.
Lu Xuan looked at it and admired it, He Laoliu was a tough guy.
Lu Xuan looked at the well-treated wound and said again: "Gan Ning, now is the last step. You have He Laoliu tied up and cannot let him move. Then, light a candle, prepare two daggers, and put The dagger is red-hot, and the dagger is changed in turn to cut off all the rotten flesh, and finally the golden sore medicine is sprinkled on. This is the most critical, and this step of the operation is no easier than fighting."
Gan Ning nodded solemnly.
He took out a dagger from his body and asked for another dagger.
Although Gan Ning didn't understand what Lu Xuan's arrangement was, it sounded so reasonable that he just chose to believe it. If Lu Xuan doesn't want to help, he can just ignore it.
Lu Xuan arranged it himself and put a lot of effort into it, but Gan Ning believed in Lu Xuan.
The candle was lit, and Gan Ning held a dagger until it was hot and red. He calmed down a little, adjusted his breath, walked to He Laoliu, and said in a deep voice: "Lao Liu, whether you can survive or not depends on this time. , you have to persist.”
He Laoliu bit the stick and nodded solemnly.
Gan Ning dropped his dagger, because the dagger was so hot that when it cut into rotten flesh, it started to smoke in an instant.
Severe pain spread into He Laoliu's body.
"ah!"
The shrill screams echoed in the camp.
Even though He Laoliu was biting the stick, he couldn't bear the pain of the dagger cutting into the rotten flesh. This kind of pain far exceeds the pain of cleaning. Under the severe pain, He Laoliu's body kept twitching.
Big beads of sweat flowed from He Laoliu's body.
Gan Ning's heart trembled, feeling a little affected by He Laoliu's discomfort.
"Stay calm. At this time, you cannot relax at all. You must cut off all the rotten flesh steadily and quickly. The speed must be fast, the start must be steady, and you cannot stop."
Lu Xuan's voice came.
Gan Ning took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his posture, and continued to strike. After all, he was a man who had been on the battlefield and had a good psychological quality. He quickly stabilized his mind, slashed quickly and steadily, and continued to process the rotten meat.
He Laoliu roared for a while, couldn't bear it anymore, and passed out from the pain.
This would be beneficial to Gan Ning's debridement.
Gan Ning cut off the rotten flesh bit by bit, and completed the cleaning with the help of a burning dagger.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Gan Ning collapsed on the ground.
He was panting heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead, and his hands were trembling slightly.
Lu Xuan looked at Gan Ning's appearance, took the golden sore medicine, sprinkled it evenly, took the boiled and dried rag strips, and carefully bandaged the wound. He looked at He Laoliu who was in a coma and ordered: "The wounds have been treated. Today and tomorrow are the most critical."
"If you get through tonight, if you don't have a fever, you will be fine. If you have a fever at night, mix Feixian wine with water and wipe He Laoliu's body. Whether you can survive depends on tomorrow."
After Gan Ning listened to Lu Xuan's instructions, he no longer had the previous thoughts of testing in his heart, and only felt grateful.
thump!
Gan Ning knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Prefect Lu saved He Laoliu, which is equivalent to saving me. Gan Ning is grateful for the grace of saving my life."
thump! thump!
The rest of the Jinfan soldiers also knelt down.
Babai Jinfan is not a blood brother, but they support each other on the battlefield like brothers. Lu Xuan saved He Laoliu, and everyone was grateful and kowtowed: "Prefect Lu, we can't thank you enough for saving your life."
