54 Chapter 54 Treatment

After the hot water was ready, Gu Chengrui carefully cleaned the external part of the wound.

After cleaning up, he carefully treated the wound with iodophor. After repeatedly checking to ensure that there was no dirt left, he used his silver needles to stimulate the patients acupoints to achieve the effect of local paralysis.

He got two men to come in and hold the patient down. Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone, the wound was quickly and carefully st.i.tched together.

After he was done, he sat at the side and said, You can cover the patient with a blanket now. Remember, the blanket must be clean. Its best if it has been exposed to the sun, or itll be easy to get the wound infected.

We know about this. We just hung the blanket to dry. One of the men said. Then, he went and brought a new blanket over.

Seeing this, Gu Chengrui took a pen and paper from his medicine box and wrote down a prescription. Go to Luos Pharmacy to get some medicine as mine isnt complete.

After speaking, he handed the prescription to one of them and gave a few more instructions to the people present. After chatting for a while, he turned around and walked out.

At the same time, he also understood that this familys seniority was the highest in the Gu clan. Although the older man from before was about the same age as the patriarch, he was one generation older.

Even the patriarch respectfully addressed him as his ninth uncle, while Gu Chengrui addressed him as his ninth grandpa.

He had to address the injured patient as his thirteenth uncle.

When he reached the house door, he saw Zhou Ying coming back with a small cart. His face suddenly turned dark, but he didnt lose his temper. Instead, he took the small cart and returned it to the Tian family.

When the two of them returned home, Gu Chengrui helped her to her seat and said, What do you want to eat for lunch? Ill make it.

Zhou Ying didnt reject his offer. She took a piece of tofu and half a pound of pork from her inters.p.a.ce and said, You can make anything you like. There are still a few steamed buns in the inters.p.a.ce, and its enough for us to eat.

Gu Chengrui took the two ingredients and turned to leave. Zhou Ying lay flat on the brick bed, and suddenly her waist felt much better.

Honestly, she had never thought lying flat on a hard surface would be so comfortable. It seemed that she would have to be more careful in the future.

After the meal, Zhou Ying told Gu Chengrui that she had accepted the tofu business.

Gu Chengrui frowned.There are three hards.h.i.+ps in life. Riding a boat, forging iron, and selling tofu.

We dont lack money, so I think we should just forget it.

Besides, I suspect that the old-fas.h.i.+oned tofu mentioned by Chef Zhou needs to be ground with a stone mill. Its definitely not possible to use a fully automatic one.

Lets just give it a try. Well see if we can take it or not. Anyway, its not a big deal to make two plates of tofu a day. Zhou Ying suggested.

Alright, theres a mill in the village. Ill go and buy one later. Gu Chengrui answered.

By the way, should we buy a donkey or a cow? Its too tiring to pull a cart to town every day. Zhou Ying asked.

Theres a big fair tomorrow. Lets go to town and see if theres anything for sale. Gu Chengrui thought of his thirteen uncles condition and asked her for a few more tablets of fever medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine.

Then, he went out to buy a stone mill and brought it back. He then took the first aid box and hurried out the door.

As soon as he left, Mrs. Bai came to their house again, wanting to dig for more pueraria roots, but Zhou Ying declined by saying that she was not feeling well.

After she left, Zhou Ying took out 20 pounds of soybeans and weeded the bad ones. After that, she washed them twice and soaked them in a bucket.

After dinner, Gu Chengrui was worried about his thirteenth uncle, so he had to go there again.

Zhou Ying freed Er Zhuang and went straight into her inters.p.a.ce. She then collected the ripe fruits, eggs, and duck eggs.

After she was done, she ate a big apple, went out to light the fire, and went back to her inters.p.a.ce to sleep.
