The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 718: Secretly Observing
Lin Tianci has a new understanding of how dirty a person can be.

The cloak that the girl was wearing was actually a piece of rag that was dug out from some trash can. It was almost covered with oil mud and dust so that the original color could not be seen. Can you believe that it can stand up when poked on the ground?

What's more terrible is her smell.

As a monk, Lin Tianci has a keen sense of smell, and as a result, his lethality doubles...

He got her from the firewood room to the upstairs with the cloud-pushing palm, then took out the sleeping bag bought from Saipulu, and still used the cloud-pushing palm to put the girl in and put the girl on the bed.

There is a layer of sleeping bags because he doesn't have a bedding here, and besides, if he puts her directly on the bed, there is no way to ask for a mattress...

But having said that, at first Lin Tianci thought she was a homeless vagrant because of the war or some other reason, but then he realized that things were not that simple.

She wore a suspender dress that looked like pajamas under the cloak. Although it was also terribly dirty, the material was not ordinary cotton and linen, but more similar to silk.

When taking the pulse, I also found that the girl had many wounds on her hands, but there were no calluses, and her fingers were slender and straight, definitely not the hands of a laborer.

It feels like she should have been a rich person before, and she ended up in such a state after a big change in her family.

For the specific reason, Lin Tianci didn't know, and didn't bother to know.

There are so many people outside waiting to be rescued, why didn't Brother Lin take care of it?
That's because he can't control it, no matter how kind-hearted he is, he still can't do good deeds beyond his ability.

It’s okay to help others as much as you can, but he is not the kind of kind person who is compassionate and compassionate.

Seeing that the girl was very wary of him, Lin Tianci could understand and didn't care and continued:

"You've got a cold...uh."

They didn't understand the word wind chill, so he had to put it another way:
"Cold? Fever? It's a disease with fatigue, sore limbs, and abnormal nasal congestion and nasal congestion. Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Just drink the medicine and take a good rest and you'll be fine."

The girl looked at the medicine bowl, grabbed the sleeping bag, and rolled herself into a ball...

Although the description is a bit funny, doubt and vigilance are still shining in her eyes, like a wounded beast, not trusting anyone.

Normally, this girl seems to have escaped from danger, she must have endured a lot of hardships, and it is not so easy to trust others.

Lin Tianci didn't care whether she believed it or not, and pointed to the wooden basin beside him:
"It's hot water, you can wash your hands and wipe your face or something."

Hearing wiping her face, the girl became even more vigilant, as if she was a wild dog in a threatening gesture.

"I don't have anything to eat here. I only have some dried meat and fruit. If you're hungry, just make do with it."

When Lin Tianci took out food that was obviously larger than the size of the pocket from a small palm-sized pocket, the girl's pupils shrank, and she didn't know whether she was surprised by the supernatural scene or hungry because of the food.

Giving food and treating illnesses, Lin Tianci's kindness will come to an end. Since the other party doesn't seem to appreciate it, Lin Tianci can't afford to put a hot face on a cold ass.

He was about to turn around to leave when he heard a knock on the door downstairs.

"anyone there?"

This voice made the girl even more nervous. Lin Tianci glanced at her and walked down the stairs.

When the footsteps on the stairs disappeared, Hetty quickly turned around, holding on to the handrail of the stairs with both hands, poking her head out from above to peek at the first floor.

She knew very well that she couldn't be exposed, and she definitely couldn't show her face in front of others, because there were many people who knew her in Gray Ridge City, and the soldiers didn't give up hunting.

The thick sludge and dust on her face was rubbed on purpose. If it wasn't disfiguring, it would lead to wound infection and nowhere to treat it. She didn't mind doing it at all.

The words were divided into two parts. After Lin Tianci went downstairs, he could certainly feel that the girl was secretly watching him upstairs. The monk was still sensitive to sight.

Seeing that she is so nervous about any trouble, she can't be a fugitive, right?
With these thoughts in his mind, Lin Tianci opened the front door, a man and a woman stood outside the door, like a middle-aged couple.

The man has a strong body, but his face is pale, his left arm is wrapped with a thick bandage, he seems to be a little unstable, and he is supported by his wife to walk.

Seeing Lin Tianci open the door, the other party was surprised at Lin Tianci's youth, and then the middle-aged woman asked:

"Excuse me, is this the doctor's house? We live near here. My name is Hill, and this is my husband Cronning."

It seems that the bar owner not only introduced Lin Tianci a place to live, but also told the neighbors that a new doctor had arrived.

The so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. When a new resident comes, the neighbors around will definitely inquire about it.

"Please doctor take a look at my husband. He suffered some injuries a few days ago and hasn't recovered. He still has a fever today."

"I'm fine, you just love to worry about it."

Having said that, Croning is already a little unsteady on his feet.

Lin Tianci looked at the cloth that bandaged the wound, there was black and red blood oozing from it, and the cloth itself was not clean, he said it was a bandage, maybe it was wrapped with old clothes.

"You come in first, and I will check and check."

Arranging people in the living room, Lin Tianci picked up the medicine box, took out a pair of small scissors from it, and cut open the so-called bandage used for dressing.

The wound on the left arm seemed to be scratched by some heavy object, and there were burn marks, the area was not small, and it was already infected with some suppuration.

"How did you get this injury?"

Cronin sighed:
"A few nights ago, the army outside attacked the city and smashed the warehouse on the port side. I happened to be working in it, and I was hit by a burning cargo box. Thanks to the empty cargo box, otherwise I would have confessed."

Hearing her husband talk about this, his wife Hill showed a terrified expression. There were several people on duty with Croning at the time, and only he escaped by luck. less than.

So, war is really not a thing.

Lin Tianci picked up the golden needle and pricked it around Croning's wound.

This baffled the couple who were seeking medical treatment. They had never seen a doctor treat a disease with a sewing needle.

There was some stinging at first, but soon, Cronin felt the sting was gone, and even the dull pain from the unhealed wound disappeared.

"Do you still feel pain?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt at all."

Just as Croning was about to stand up, Lin Tianci hurriedly held him down:

"Don't worry, it's not over yet, I'm just temporarily relieving your pain."

As he spoke, he took out a small knife from the medicine box, and gestured on the wound as if judging where to cut the knife.

"Your wound has already festered, and the festered part must be cut off, otherwise when complications arise, even the gods will not be able to save you."

Croning and his wife Hill still wondered what a god is, but what Lin Tianci said was clear.

On the battlefield in the era of cold weapons, the proportion of direct deaths on the battlefield is very small. The killing efficiency of cold weapons is really not high. More often, the two armies fight with morale.

At this time, the most dead people are those who cannot receive effective treatment after being injured. The wounds that are originally flesh wounds are also very likely to cause death from suppurative infection.

After all, penicillin was only discovered in the 20th century, and it depends on fate whether the injury will die before that.

Chinese medicine is better. Although they don't know the existence of bacteria, they know about "poison" and treat infection as a toxin. Even if it is not as effective as penicillin, it has saved many lives.

They used a small knife to cut off the festering place bit by bit. At first, the couple were a little worried, but Cronin found that the incision wound did not hurt at all, and there was no bleeding, but it was a little numb.

The golden needles on the front line are mainly used to relieve pain and stop bleeding, which is similar to anesthetics, and of course it will not hurt.

Croning's wound was relatively complicated, and the aorta had to be avoided when cutting. Brother Lin understood why the surgeon was so exhausted every day. Even though his operation was an outpatient level, he still needed full concentration.

Thinking about the kind of large-scale surgery that can take several hours, the doctors really worked hard.

While clearing the wound, Lin Tianci chatted with the two couples.

That is to say, he can relax his mind and let Croning not be so nervous, and he can also ask about the information about the extremely blue star.

"I heard during my travels that a meteor fell near Greyridge. Is it true?"

The tone was almost the same as usual, and the other party didn't think about it at all, so he said happily:

"There is such a thing. At that time, soldiers were sent to look at it. I heard that they found two beautiful blue crystals."

That's right, it must be an extremely blue star!
"crystal?"

"Yes, people in the city have spread the word that it is a gift from heaven. I don't think that thing is a good thing. Otherwise, how could it be..."

Hill pinched her husband at the side, and Croning immediately realized that he had slipped his words, so he smiled and did not continue.

It seems that there are some secrets in this matter.

Don't rush it, take it slowly, it's more secure.

With an idea in mind, Lin Tianci cleaned up the wound, and then it was time to apply the medicine, but he couldn't spare:
"Give me the little bottle with the red label in the box, please."

As soon as I finished speaking, a sour smell came into my nose. This smell is really unforgettable in my life, and it makes my eyes burn.

Turning her face to look, the girl who fell from the ceiling was standing behind Lin Tianci at some point. Although she didn't wash her face, she at least washed her hands.

After washing the original mud claws, her white and slender palms were revealed, but there were too many wounds on her hands, otherwise she would not be inferior to those hand models in her previous life.

She handed over the medicine bottle that Lin Tianci had mentioned, and Cronin and Hill looked at each other, surprised why there was a beggar in the doctor's house, but they didn't ask.

After handing over the medicine bottle, the girl seemed to know how pungent the smell on her body was, so she walked to the other corner of the room very obediently, and just stood there, looking like she was being punished.

Leaving her alone, Lin Tianci applied medicine to Croning, pulled out the golden needle, and rewrapped the bandage.

"It's all right. Your husband is in good health. He can recover after changing the medicine a few times at most, but he may feel some stinging pain later. Remember not to scratch the wound or get wet."

Golden needle pain relief also has a time limit, and the time is not long. Unless it is combined with mana, it is still not as good as a real anesthetic.

"Thank you doctor, may I ask for the consultation fee..."

"Just give me ten copper coins. It's not easy for everyone in this world."

The purchasing power of a copper plate here is roughly enough to eat two meals, which can be described as an ultra-low price.

The couple were naturally very grateful. Lin Tianci sent them to the door and instructed some precautions. Croning looked at the girl who was still hiding in the corner, and whispered to Brother Lin:
"Doctor, you are a good person, but sometimes you can't be too kind. In recent months, there have been many homeless people in the city. They look pitiful, but if they are not handled properly, they will cause trouble."
