Helena was carried in. She was already unconscious, her body was dirty, her hair was disheveled, her face was haggard and sallow, and she looked completely different from the one she saw before.
"There is blood on the body, so there should be injuries. Do you know where the injuries are?" Zhang Yanling asked, looking at Helena who was placed on the bed.
"She is a woman, so she didn't dare to check." Chen Shi said.
Zhang Yanling nodded and ordered: "Go and call the two cooks from the Kunpeng."
Chen Shi hurriedly ordered someone to invite him. After a long time, he called two women from the Kunpeng docked at the pier. The two women didn't know what was going on and were quite nervous.
"This woman is injured. It's not convenient for us to check the wound. You two check to see where the wound is. By the way...scrub her." Zhang Yanling ordered.
The two women agreed and went into Zhang Yanling's tent to do some business. Zhang Yanling and Chen Shiyi stood outside. On the night of New Year's Eve, the sky was pitch black, with the sound of the ocean tide in the distance, the trees were thick, and everything was quiet.
"Master, what do you think happened?" Chen Shiyi asked.
Zhang Yanling shook his head and said: "You will have to ask her to find out. But something must have happened. She is injured, so she must not be here to spy. She seems to be running for her life."
Chen Shiyi smiled bitterly and said: "Escape? Escape to us? Isn't that like throwing yourself into a trap? He just happened to take her and blackmail his father into submission."
Zhang Yanling glanced at Chen Shiyi, who laughed and said: "It's just a joke about my humble position. How could we do such a despicable thing? We want to defeat our opponents in an honest and fair manner, and we will not use such dirty ideas."
Zhang Yanling said in a deep voice: "As long as you understand. The war between the two armies will not harm women and children. It is not a personal grudge. You can't use despicable means. This is the bottom line."
Chen Shiyi smiled and nodded. While the two were talking, a woman's exclamation came from inside. Zhang Yanling and Chen Shiyi looked at each other, wondering what was going on. But they couldn't break in, so they had to wait patiently.
Not long after, a woman came out to report: "My lord, please wipe her. We didn't have any clothes to change, so we saw the lord's silk robe hanging next to us, so we wrapped it around her. We went back to the boat to get some more
Bring some clean clothes for her to wear."
Zhang Yanling didn't care about this and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, have you found the wound?"
"I found it. The wound is rotten. It's on the thigh. I don't know what kind of injury it was. There is a hole." The woman said hurriedly.
Zhang Yanling's heart tightened. The thigh injury was already ulcerated. Could it be that it would be infected? Once infected, there would be no cure. This must be treated quickly.
"It's not good, it seems that the person is dying." Another woman's voice came from the big tent.
Zhang Yanling heard the words and rushed in without saying a word. Under the light of the candlestick, Helena on the bed was wearing her long robe, revealing a pair of snow-white legs. At this moment, her body was arched upward, her eyes were turned up, and she was convulsing.
A woman was at a loss as to what to do.
Zhang Yanling stepped forward quickly, reached out and pinched Helena's mouth, and stuffed a piece of cloth into Helena's mouth.
"During the spasm, prevent her from biting off her tongue. This is a spasm caused by excessive blood loss. She is worried about her life at this moment. Fortunately, she has not developed a fever yet, which means the infection is not serious. Go get a can of water quickly and add a small amount of it.
Pinch of salt, just a little bit, if you can't taste it, go." Zhang Yanling said loudly.
The woman quickly went to prepare salt water. Zhang Yanling walked to the bedside and took out some medicine in his backpack. A small green bottle and a jar of first aid powder. After thinking about it, he took out a piece of linen rope from the backpack.
.
"Brother Chen, do me a favor. Help me tie her up," Zhang Yanling said.
Chen Shiyi glared angrily and said, "Sir...Sir, you don't have to do this. This is a bit uncomfortable."
Zhang Yanling shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? After giving her some medicine and light salt water, we have to treat her wounds. If she moves around in pain, it will be difficult to deal with it."
Chen Shi kept saying "oh, oh, oh" and thought to himself: I may have misunderstood.
So he hurriedly assisted Zhang Yanling in fixing Helena on the bed with a rope. The rope was tied up, which gave people a very strange feeling. Chen Shiyi did not dare to look at Helena anymore, and excused himself from the big tent because there was something going on outside.
Zhang Yanling didn't want him to stand here either. It would be inconvenient for Chen Shiyi to stand aside while he was dealing with Helena's wounds. He had no choice but to do it by himself, as he had some proficiency in medical skills.
Fetching a large jar of light salt water, Zhang Yanling took out two Babao Heart-protecting Pills and melted them in the water, then brought the jar to Helena's mouth. After pulling out the cloth ball, Helena clenched her teeth tightly, and Zhang Yanling stretched out her hand to pinch it
Her nose forced her to open her mouth and drink the water from the earthen jar one mouthful at a time.
Helena struggled violently, spilling a lot of water from the earthen pot, and wet the clothes on her chest. Zhang Yanling's nightgown was originally thin, but when it got wet, she suddenly felt uncomfortable. In addition, she was tied with cloth strips, which made it even more difficult to straighten her clothes.
See.
Zhang Yanling looked at her twice and couldn't help but feel panicked. Foreign girls have a lot of money, and they were looming under the wet clothes, which really made people's hearts beat faster.
Zhang Yanling cursed herself secretly, picked up the thin quilt and covered Helena, took a few deep breaths, and then calmed down.
Helena resisted at first, but then she subconsciously swallowed it because her body had lost a lot of water and salt and needed to be replenished. The reason for her cramps was actually due to excessive bleeding and dehydration.
After replenishing water and supplementing with first aid with Babaohuxinwan, there is no danger of life. However, the wound must be treated next, and first aid powder must be applied to stop bleeding and prevent infection.
At this moment, she couldn't care too much. Zhang Yanling followed the woman's instructions, opened the hem of her robe, and found the wound on the outside of Helena's crystal-white thigh. The wound had indeed begun to fester, and Helena should have treated it and bandaged it herself, so
It has only lasted until now, but now the wound is red, swollen and showing signs of suppuration. Once infected, the consequences will be disastrous.
Moreover, Zhang Yanling soon discovered that this was a gunshot wound. The bullet entered from the side and back and did not penetrate the muscle. This means that the bullet remained in the thigh. If the wound is to be healed, the bullet must be removed first before it can be inserted.
Medical bandage. If it is not removed, the bullet will become infected in the body, and there will be unpredictable consequences.
Without further ado, the only option was to dig out the bullet. Zhang Yanling took out the dagger and sterilized it on the candlelight. Then he lifted Helena's thigh to expose the wound on the back.
"Miss Helena, I'm offended. The bullet must be removed. You have to be patient." Zhang Yanling muttered. I don't know if Helena, who was in a dazed state, could hear it.
The two women watched helplessly as Zhang Yanling inserted the dagger into Helena's thigh wound. They saw him using the dagger to tease the flesh and blood inside. The blood flowed down Helena's thigh, which was shocking.
Helena screamed in pain. She no longer convulsed, but was still unconscious. The severe pain made her wake up instantly. When she opened her eyes, she saw someone playing with the wound on her thigh, which scared her and screamed.
"Don't scream, Miss Helena, don't move, I'm treating your injuries. Take out the bullet. Just bear with it." Zhang Yanling was sweating profusely. Helena yelled like this in her tent, and she didn't know that she thought she was
What to do to her?
Helena also recognized Zhang Yanling and cried: "What are you doing? Stop torturing me."
Zhang Yanling gritted his teeth and cut the wound with a dagger. After thinking for a while, he stretched out his index finger and wiped it with medicinal powder, then put his finger into the small hole of the wound to pick at the rope.
"Oh, don't pick it with your fingers. It hurts me to death. You devil, I'm going to kill you." Helena yelled.
The guards outside the tent looked at each other with strange expressions. The Duke of Guo was digging his fingers at a woman in the tent. This scene was unimaginable. Was the Marquis healing the woman's injuries?
Zhang Yanling was unmoved and controlled Helena's thigh with force, holding her whole thigh in his arms. His fingers slowly dug into the wound. Although the fingers would cause Helena a lot of pain, they were on the thigh.
Wounds with a dagger are extremely dangerous. If the aorta is broken, Helena will die. On the contrary, the fingers are more dexterous and can be used to control the situation.
This pain is simply unimaginable. If a person digs his fingers into your wound and squirms inside, the pain can be imagined. Helena was in so much pain that she was dripping with sweat.
Finally, Zhang Yanling took out his finger, and what came out with his finger was a small oval-shaped lead bullet. It was this oval-shaped lead bullet that was fired by the matchlock gun of the Fo Langji.
With a "bah" sound, Zhang Yanling threw the lead bullet into the copper basin, making a crisp sound.
"Okay, the lead bullet has been taken out, now you can apply the medicine. Miss Helena, be quiet. It will naturally be very painful the first time. You will be able to bear it next time." Zhang Yanling said.
"Is there a next time? I don't want it anymore." Helena sobbed.
The soldiers outside the big tent heard these words and made some associations. Why is the first time painful? Is this really healing?
"It's time to apply medicine, the wound has started to bleed again, and we need to prevent infection," Zhang Yanling said.
"If you poke it in like that with your finger, can it not bleed?" Helena cried.
"Okay, okay, please bear with it. It won't hurt much when applying the medicine, but the slough on the outside of these wounds needs to be cleaned up, so it may hurt a little. But it should be bearable. Bite the cloth. Open your mouth and bite."
In order to avoid trouble, Zhang Yanling once again stuffed the ball of cloth into Helena's mouth. Then he began to cut away the rotten flesh outside the rotten wound. Helena felt the severe pain, but she could only whine and could no longer raise her throat.
yelled.
After cutting the carrion, he sprinkled a whole jar of first aid on the wound, and then wrapped it tightly with gauze. Only then did Zhang Yanling take out the ball of cloth from Helena's mouth. Helena was in so much pain that she had no strength to scream, and her chest was heaving.
, where I gasped violently.
"Okay. You should be fine after taking the medicine. My medicine is very effective. Miss Helena, you should have a good sleep. You should be much better when you wake up." Zhang Yanling washed his hands in the basin and wiped them.
Said aside.
Helena said weakly: "Zhang...Duke Zhang, I need your help with something."
Zhang Yanling waved her hand and said: "Let's talk tomorrow, you need to rest."
Helena shouted: "It's an urgent matter, we can't delay it, please listen to me."
Zhang Yanling turned around and walked out, saying in a deep voice: "No matter how urgent it is, it will be tomorrow. You need to rest. Otherwise, you will die. Even big things are not as important as life. I worked hard to save you, and you don't want to say thank you."
You people from the Flemish Country are really rude. That’s all, I won’t argue with you.”
Helena was anxious to talk about the matter, but Zhang Yanling had already left the tent. Helena was tied to the bed, and she had no strength. She could only watch Zhang Yanling leave. Lying on the bed, her whole body seemed to be falling apart, and her wounds were all over her body.
Painful and weak.
Soon after, the side effects of the sleep-inducing recuperation of the Babao Heart Pills began to show up, and Helena soon fell into a drowsy sleep.
