The village chief and his entourage got two torches and rushed to Old Xu's house.

There was an unpleasant stench of decay in Xu Fugui's room. Xu Fugui's face was red and blue, and he lay there motionless like a dead person.

The village chief put his hand on his neck, but the pressure was so weak that he could hardly feel it. He shook his head, and everyone's face became worse.

Not to mention whether the town clinic is open at night, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to town, and if the ride gets bumpy again, I'll die early.

Old Xu sobbed in despair, which was more painful than if he had cried loudly.

A life! Liu Shinan thought about his daughter's fate. He wondered if the medicine he had collected could make Xu Fugui better. He insisted on sending him to the hospital tomorrow. He walked quietly towards home.

After returning home, I told Liu Yuhan about Xu Fugui. Speaking of which, the original owner had received a favor from Xu Fugui. That day, she was unconscious on the mountain, and it was Xu Fugui who went up the mountain to chop firewood who saw her and carried her back in a basket.

Liu Yuhan asked Liu Shinan to wait for a moment while he went to get the medicine. He went into the room and closed the door. Liu Yao was already fast asleep. He entered the space and searched the medicine cabinet and the shelves with medicines, even quickly using his phone to search on Baidu.

Disinfectants: Wound suppuration refers to the symptoms caused by bacterial infection of damaged wound tissue, which will cause increased pain, obvious local redness and swelling, etc. First, disinfectants should be used for disinfection treatment, such as iodine tincture, hydrogen peroxide, etc., which can play an anti-inflammatory and bactericidal role.

Oral medications: Oral antibiotics are required for anti-infection treatment during the period of wound suppuration, such as amoxicillin capsules, erythromycin dispersible tablets, penicillin V potassium tablets, etc. While taking oral medications, local care should be done and the wound should be cleaned regularly.

Topical medication: Since the wound is suppurated due to bacterial infection, external medication is needed to reduce inflammation and sterilize the wound. You can use erythromycin ointment or erythromycin ointment. If the area of suppuration is large, you need to go to the hospital for debridement treatment, clean the pus in the wound, and re-bandage it to prevent the abscess from expanding.

Xu Fugui's wound had become festered and required debridement, disinfection, medication, oral anti-inflammatory drugs, and finally a bandage.

Liu Yuhan cleaned out the medicine box and put all the necessary medicines in it. He also added a thermometer, bandages, scissors, a sharp fruit knife, a candle lighter, and a flashlight. He wrapped the medicine box in a gray cloth, told Old Lady Jiang, asked Liu to accompany him, and rushed to Old Xu's house.

When they arrived at Xu Tou's house, everyone had already worked together to clean Xu Fugui and change his clothes. He was about to leave, so he had to look decent.

Old Xu sat on the edge of the bed, holding his son's hand, trembling constantly, tears flowing silently.

Liu Yuhan...

Liu Shinan quietly called his father and the village chief over and said something to them in a low voice. The village chief suppressed his doubts and walked up to Old Man Xu and spoke to him.

Old Xu was trembling so much that he could hardly stand up. He nodded repeatedly.

The village chief, Liu Shihu, helped Old Xu out and told everyone to go out and quickly boil some water. He also brought a cup of warm water and placed it at the door. He left Old Liu, Liu Shinan, Liu Shi, and Liu Yuhan in the room.

They went in and closed the door and windows. Liu Yuhan put on a mask and gave each of them one. They put on disposable rubber gloves and lit a candle. There were two torches in the room, and Liu Yuhan had them secure them. He then took a flashlight from a box, turned it on, and asked Liu to hold it.

The three of them were startled by the sudden brightness! Of course, there was more to it than that, including the things Liu Yuhan took out, but the three of them kept silent tacitly.

He asked Liu to shine a flashlight on Xu Fugui's calf wound. He took out the thermometer, shook it, and asked Liu Shinan to put it under Xu Fugui's armpit and hold it tightly.

Liu Shinan held it carefully, fearing that he would break it.

He told his grandfather to hold Xu Fugui's upper body, while his father fixed Xu Fugui's feet to prevent him from moving.

There was no Ma Fei San. Although Xu Fugui was already unconscious, he was afraid that he would wake up from the pain during the debridement surgery.

Liu Yuhan picked up the scissors and pulled up Xu Fugui's pants and fixed them. Although Liu Yuhan was mentally prepared, he still felt a pang in his heart when he saw the wound. He really wanted to cry but had no tears.

This is probably really a case of "forcing a duck to do something even though you know it's impossible".

The thermometer was taken out and the fever reached 39 degrees. I took two ibuprofen pills. The water was also boiled, and there was a cup of warm water. Liu Shinan brought it in and closed the door again.

Liu Shinan was told to feed Xu Fugui the antipyretic medicine. Ibuprofen was effective in reducing fever and relieving pain, so it was just right for Xu Fugui. Fortunately, the medicine wasn't big, so Xu Fugui instinctively swallowed it.

The next step is to clean the wound. Place the scissors and sharp fruit knife on the candle to warm them. When they are cool, spray them with disinfectant and set them aside for later use.

Use scissors to cut out some gauze, dip the gauze in hot water (not too hot), and keep rinsing the wound. In fact, the wound may not be big at the beginning, but if you don’t pay attention to anti-inflammation, the wound will have become festered and unrecognizable, with redness and dark purple, and even the surrounding area will be swollen.

Liu Yuhan took a deep breath. He picked up a fruit knife and picked at the pus. He rinsed it clean with water first, then continued to clean the wound. He cut away the rotten flesh with scissors, then continued to rinse until new blood oozed out. Xu Fugui felt pain and swayed.

Liu Daling and Liu Shinan concealed the shock in their hearts and held him tightly. As Xu Fugui trembled, they felt as if they were shaking too.

His granddaughter's (daughter's) action was so horrifying that Liu Daling almost cried out, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.

In comparison, Liu was the calmest one except Liu Yuhan. She kept holding a flashlight and shining it on the wound.

After the wound is cleaned, the next step is disinfection. Spray the wound carefully with hydrogen peroxide, apply erythromycin to the red and swollen part of the wound, bandage the wound with clean gauze, and take two penicillin potassium tablets orally. That's basically it.

This was Liu Yuhan's first experience with this. She was so focused during the procedure that she didn't feel anything. But when she was done, she stopped and broke out in a cold sweat. She was a little scared, worried that if the procedure wasn't successful, it would harm others and even her family.

After half an hour, Xu Fugui's forehead was covered in sweat due to the effect of the medicine.

After taking his temperature again, which had dropped to 38 degrees, Liu Yuhan carefully disinfected and stored away the items he had used. He wrapped the medicine box in a cloth, and then the father and son picked up torches and opened the door.

The group of people were squatting in the courtyard at the door. When they saw them come out, Old Xu was the first to run over. He looked at them expectantly.

Liu Daling cleared his throat and said, "Fugui has taken medicine and his fever has subsided. His wound has been rebandaged. We have done our best. As for what will happen next, it all depends on his luck."

Before helping with the injuries, the village chief had spoken to Old Xu, and he had agreed. Old Xu knelt down in gratitude to them.

Liu Shinan quickly caught him and said, "You have to take care of Fugui. Clean yourself up first and change into clean clothes. He is sweating. Change your clothes and take Fugui's clean clothes. I will help you change him."

"Hey, I'll go change it now."

Old Xu changed his clothes and helped Liu Shinan change Xu Fugui's soaked shirt. Old Xu looked at his son's slightly better complexion and his eyes became red again.

Everyone stood at the door, looking at Xu Fugui, and felt relieved. They had almost seen him off not long ago.

Liu Yuhan gave Old Xu two ibuprofen pills and told him to take two more if Xu Fugui had a high fever in the middle of the night. She and her family would come over tomorrow to change his medicine.

After working for so long, everyone went back to rest.

Liu Yuhan was actually a little scared of showing so many things to them at once, afraid they would look at her strangely. She was afraid that her outrageous behavior would cause them trouble. She had finally felt the warmth of home and really didn't want to close her heart.

It turns out she was overthinking.

In front of Liu Daling and his son, Liu said to Liu Yuhan, "Xiaohan, you must be tired tonight. God told you to do more good deeds and taught you some skills in your dreams. What he gave you is indeed extraordinary. We won't tell anyone. Just rest assured and get some rest."

Liu Daling and Liu Shinan also nodded repeatedly and asked Liu Yuhan to go to bed early. Liu Yuhan smiled at them and nodded.

The silence speaks.
