"What's going on? Xiaoli, what happened to your leg?"

Seeing such a big wound on her daughter's leg, Ye Qinglan was so scared that her face turned pale.

Gu Xiaoli lowered her head, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Seeing this, Yun Suisui coaxed her softly, "Xiao Li, everyone is worried about you. Can you tell me how you got the injury on your leg?"

Gu Xiaoli was comforted by her watery eyes. She clenched her fist and said, "Brother Lidong pushed me and the jar broke. It hurts."

"You mean, Brother Lidong pushed you onto the jar, the jar broke, and you got hurt here by the broken jar?" Yun Suisui communicated patiently.

Gu Xiaoli nodded obediently.

Yun Suisui asked again, "Why didn't you tell mom and brother after all these days?"

It's obvious that the wound is not new. It must have been there for at least a day or two.

"Brother Lidong doesn't allow me to say it." Gu Xiaoli stammered.

"God damn Zhao Lidong, he's been a bad little bastard since his mother's womb! Xiaoli is still so young, how could he have the heart to bully her?"

Ye Qinglan was furious and blamed herself: "No wonder Xiaoli insisted on dressing herself these past two days. It's all my fault for not paying attention!"

Gu Jun comforted her: "It's not your fault."

"Yes, Auntie, the most urgent thing is to heal Xiaoli's injury. I think the wound is quite deep. If it is not treated, it may cause other problems." Yun Suisui said seriously.

"What should we do?"

Ye Qinglan rubbed her trouser legs helplessly, "Should we take him to the clinic?"

Yun Suisui looked up and asked, "How far is the clinic?"

"It's in the commune, about an hour's walk away. The village's ox cart is broken and cannot be used for the past two days." Gu Jun replied.

Yun Suisui frowned. It was too far.

Along the way, both sweat and friction increase the risk of infection.

These days, for such a young child, a high fever could easily take her life.

She touched Xiaoli's forehead and found that she had a low fever.

"Well, I'll treat Xiaoli's wound first, and then take her to the clinic to take her temperature and see if she needs an injection."

Ye Qinglan was surprised, "Sui Sui, you can also do medicine?"

Yun Suisui's heart skipped a beat, but luckily she reacted quickly. "I can only treat the wound simply, nothing else."

She waved to Gu Yue and said, "Xiao Yue, can you help my sister-in-law dig some wild violets?"

Ye Qinglan asked: "What's the point of digging this thing?"

Yun Suisui explained, "Wild violet, also known as Viola yedoensis, is a traditional Chinese medicine that can reduce swelling and detoxify. It's very effective for this kind of festering wound."

"Sui Sui, you're amazing. I've been living in the countryside for so long and I didn't know that thing had such a use."

Ye Qinglan pulled Gu Yue out and said, "I'll take Xiao Yue to dig herbs, and you two will stay at home to take care of Xiao Li."

After the mother and son left, Yun Suisui was not idle either. She began to clean Gu Xiaoli's wound.

Gu Xiaoli looked thin, but she was a very strong child. The wound was so deep that she had to use cotton cloth to wipe out the pus inside. She cried, but she didn't even cry out in pain.

After cleaning the wound, Yun Suisui asked Gu Jun to wash the pottery jars at home, and she went outside to dig dandelions.

However, the dandelions at this time of year are a bit old, and they taste bitter and astringent when eaten as wild vegetables, but they are just right as anti-inflammatory medicine.

It would be even better if there were some Hebelia chinensis, which can clear away heat and reduce fever. Unfortunately, this plant is rarely seen in Northeast China.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Yun Suisui had a bag of light yellow-green needle-shaped medicinal herbs in his hand, which was exactly the Hemiphragma.

Looking at the auspicious cloud pattern on the packaging, she was shocked. Isn't this the logo of Yunjitang, the pharmacy she opened in her previous life?

Before she could investigate further, Ye Qinglan and Gu Yue also came back.

Yun Suisui quickly hid the lobelia and went to the kitchen to process the herbs.

After putting the appropriate amount of violet yedoensis and dandelions into the ceramic pot, she put the lobelia in when no one was paying attention.

Half an hour later, the medicine soup was ready and fed to Gu Xiaoli. The dried medicine residue was applied to the wound and wrapped with cotton cloth.

Looking at her skillful technique, Gu Jun's eyes flashed with doubt.

Did she know these things at this time in her previous life?

However, before he could think about it, he heard Yun Suisui asking him to send Xiaoli to the health center.

He didn't waste any time, as he picked up his sister and left, with the others following behind.

After walking for an hour, until Yun Suisui's feet were numb from pain, they finally reached their destination.

Doctor Wang from the clinic took Gu Xiaoli over and examined her wound. He asked curiously, "The wound has been treated very cleanly, and the redness and swelling are no longer noticeable. Which brigade are you from? Is there a doctor in your team?"

There are only two people in the clinic including him. If there are such talents in the subordinate brigade, as long as their background is not too bad, they can be absorbed to save them from being busy all year round.

Ye Qinglan was a little surprised when she heard that, then she proudly pulled Yun Suisui over and said, "It wasn't the doctor from the brigade, it was my son's girlfriend who bandaged it."

Doctor Wang glanced at Yun Suisui and nodded appreciatively, "Not bad."

As he spoke, he took Gu Xiaoli's temperature again, which was 37.2°C.

"It's a low-grade fever. There are heat-clearing herbs in the dressing. Let's observe first. If the temperature can go down on its own, there's no need for an injection."

After hearing what he said, Ye Qinglan hurried to the yard to fetch well water to wipe Xiaoli's hands, feet, forehead and armpits.

Gu Jun sat down next to Yun Suisui, his tone so calm that it was hard to tell what he was thinking. "You've never studied medicine before, so how do you know so much?"

Yun Suisui pursed her lips, her expression somewhat hesitant.

After a few seconds, she raised her head as if she had made a decision and said cautiously and solemnly, "Gu Jun, I want to tell you a secret."

Gu Jun's heart trembled, and his Adam's apple rolled, but he still forced himself to calm down, "Go ahead."

"actually……"

Yun Suisui whispered, "Actually, I had a teacher who was originally an administrator at the Provincial Museum of Cultural Relics. Two years ago, he was demoted and left some things with me, including an ancient medical book."

Gu Jun's pupils shrank, but he felt relieved.

He asked, "Is the thing hidden?"

"Don't worry, I dug a hole next to my cellar and hid everything in it!" Yun Suisui raised his chin, with a look that said "I'm smart, right?"

Gu Jun didn't know whether to say she was smart or naive, as she revealed her exact location so easily.

"You shouldn't have told me."

Yun Suisui looked at him with sparkling eyes and said firmly, "I believe you."

Gu Jun's heart skipped a beat.

Only then did he realize that the girl's face was covered in sweat, her carefully styled hair was wet, and her fiery red skirt was stained with dirt and grass juice, making her look a little disheveled.

Are you really going to this extent just to save face?

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether she was sincere or insincere in treating his family so well.

Yun Suisui did not lie. She did have a teacher who worked at the Provincial Museum of Cultural Relics, and he did give her some things before he was sent down to the countryside.

Only this ancient medical book was made up by her.

About half an hour later, Doctor Wang came to take Gu Xiaoli's temperature again.

"36.9c, no need for an injection, just go back and continue applying the medicine."

Doctor Wang confiscated the consultation fee. After Ye Qinglan thanked him repeatedly, the family took Gu Xiaoli back home.

Before I reached the door of my house, I saw a stealthy figure from a distance, clinging to the wall and looking into the yard.
