Chapter 4 A Good Start
"Oxcart!"
When he was about to walk out of the woods, Lin Dafu was overjoyed when he saw an ox cart pulling firewood on the other side of the river.
Lin Ruyu, who was using a branch as a cane, shook her sweaty little head and said, "Brother Dafu, we are not going there."
Hmm... Lin Dafu looked at Lin Ruyu in confusion, "Take a car."
Lin Ruyu, the pampered and pampered eldest daughter of the Lin family, always has to be surrounded by people in front of her and behind her when she comes out, and the carriages and horses are all in good order. But now Lin Ruyu, whose ankles are swollen like steamed buns, her first concern is safety, "We don't take the carriage, the driver is a bad person."
If the gangsters from Ma Tou Mountain dare to chase people with a ghost-headed sword in broad daylight, it shows that this is still a territory they can control. If you climb on this bullock cart, you will be less likely to be caught by the gangsters from Ma Tou Mountain.
It's not far to live.
Hearing that the driver of the cart was also a villain, Lin Dafu immediately stared and looked for stones. Lin Ruyu quickly called out, "Brother Dafu, come here, let's not leave the forest until the ox cart has left before we continue on our way."
"oh."
Lin Dafu responded and walked to Lin Ruyu, but then moved three steps to the side and sat quietly under the tree next to him.
Men and women are not allowed to be intimate. Lin Dafu, who was stupid and had no education, entered a wealthy family and was taught to remember the rules.
"Snapped!"
Lin Ruyu swatted a mosquito lying on her hand sucking blood, and then pressed her aching temple. She was at the end of her rope and had to sort out the mess in her head before she knew how to save the little girl's mother and brother.
After the bullock cart was far away, Lin Ruyu stood up holding the tree and said, "Brother Dafu, let's walk a little further and find a place to rest."
Lin Dafu glanced at Lin Ruyu's shoeless left foot, which was covered by her dress, and then stared at the cloth shoes that the girl had taken off from the villain's feet, which were tied with cloth strips on his own feet. He looked towards the riverside and said, "Look for shoes."
.”
Lin Ruyu smiled and said, "The current is too fast and I can't find it."
Slaps in the face always come quickly.
Before Lin Ruyu's words came out, Lin Dafu, who was looking for shoes along the river, ran back and shoved Lin Ruyu's other embroidered shoe on the tip of her nose.
This luck...
Lin Ruyu's cross-eyed eyes turned from the wet embroidered shoes to the face of Lin Dafu, who bared his big white teeth and asked her for credit. He took the shoes and praised, "I really let Brother Dafu find it. Brother Dafu is really amazing."
After being praised, Lin Dafu smiled brighter than the sun, and Lin Ruyu also smiled.
Lin Dafu was not hacked to death by bandits and his body exposed in the wilderness as the little girl remembered, and she was not bullied by bandits either. This was a good start.
A good start indeed.
The two walked forward for a while, and unexpectedly found a horse walking out of the woods. Horses are the best and fastest means of transportation in this era!
The little girl can ride a horse, but now she has injured her ankle and cannot ride a horse. Lin Ruyu asked Lin Dafu in a low voice, "Can Brother Dafu know how to ride a horse?"
Lin Dafu also stared at the horse and whispered back, "I know how to ride a donkey."
Lin Ruyu...
Okay, you can ride a donkey. She controls the horse's reins, and Brother Dafu uses the horse's hoops as donkey's pedals!
Speaking of which, is there such a thing as a donkey stirrup?
Lin Ruyu asked Lin Dafu to step forward and pull the reins of the horse, but she saw that there were wet blood stains on the back and saddle of the maroon horse.
Lin Ruyu put on the embroidered shoes that no longer dripped water and signaled Lin Dafu to wait for the horse while she followed the blood stains to find the owner of the horse.
Hearing the noise, a man in black with a short beard and a square face, holding a long sword in his hand and leaning against a big tree, opened his eyes and looked directly at the little head that emerged from behind the tree, and then froze.
How could there be such a beautiful little girl here?
Lin Ruyu's eyes swept across the four people lying around before landing on the short-bearded man. This man was dressed differently from the four lying down, so he should be the horse owner. Although the horse owner's eyes were still there, his face was very pale.
The injury should be serious.
"cough……"
Lin Ruyu cleared her throat, but before she could speak, the man sitting against the tree threw away his sword, pointed at the baggage on the ground outside, and said out of breath, "I have something to ask of you, Miss.
If you are willing to help, the silver in the bag and the horse outside the forest will belong to the girl as a reward for the girl."
Seeing Lin Ruyu hiding behind a tree, her two dark eyes full of wariness, the short-bearded man gritted his teeth, leaned forward with all his strength, and lay prone on the ground, exposing the injury on his back.
Only then did Lin Ruyu discover that the horse owner had a stab wound on his back that was more than a foot long. The skin and flesh of the wound were torn open and blood flowed freely.
If this injury is not treated in time, the person will soon die from excessive blood loss.
The man turned to look at Lin Ruyu and begged weakly, "Can you please go to Wusha Town, five miles east, and tell Chen Jingcheng, the owner of Quanjing Pawn Shop, that my master wants to eat the crab roe buns from Fenghua House, please let him have more."
Buy a few drawers and send them over."
"I am by no means a bad person. If the girl is willing to help, I will definitely repay this kindness." The man with the short beard said that his voice weakened, and it was obvious that he could not hold on any longer.
Lin Ruyu limped forward with a dagger in hand. She first carefully confirmed that the four people lying down were dead, and then opened the horse owner's baggage. She saw that in addition to a change of clothes and a bag of silver, there were several other things in the baggage.
A small porcelain vase.
The short-bearded man continued intermittently, "The bottle... contains medicine for knife wounds, medicinal wine, which can... cure the girl's... injuries."
Medicine for knife wounds? Lin Ruyu opened the medicine bottle and smelled each one, turned her eyes and asked, "Do you have any needles and thread?"
The short-bearded man was slightly stunned and said slowly, "Nothing."
Lin Ruyu quickly rummaged through the four corpses. The owner of the horse was not destined to die, so she gathered what she needed.
Lin Ruyu first opened the overturned wine bag, quickly sterilized her hands, dagger and needle and thread, then threaded the needle and thread, walked to the short-bearded man and said, "Fortunately, your stab wound did not hurt the internal organs, please be patient and I will stitch it up for you."
Wound."
Sewing? Do you think he is just a piece of cloth that can be repaired if it is torn? The corners of the short-bearded man's mouth twitched and he tried to dissuade him, "Girl, hiss——"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Ruyu had already cut open the clothes on his back with a knife, cleaned the wound with strong liquor, and began to sew it up with needle and thread.
Seventeen-year-old Lin Ruyu, although she is only a freshman at a well-known medical university and has been taking online classes for most of the semester due to the epidemic, she knows how to suture wounds.
Because Lin Ruyu has been working for the doctors in the orphanage clinic since she was a child, she also systematically learned surgical skills through online teaching software, and mastered the skills of suturing wounds. However, her suturing skills were trained with pork, and she has not yet
It has been practiced on living people.
There is a huge difference between the meat of a living pig and a dead pig. After Lin Ruyu finished the last stitch and tied a triple knot, and then cut the thread with a dagger, she felt that her fingers were so tired that they were about to cramp.
She moved her fingers a few times before evenly sprinkling the knife wound medicine on the man's wound, and then tied and fixed the wound with a pair of trousers from his bag. She admired the fruits of her labor for a few times, and then said happily to the unconscious man.
