"The carbuncle is ulcerated and dripping with pus. If it is not bandaged tightly or has not been bandaged, it will attract flies to lay eggs and produce maggots." Shen Tianshu explained, "The Jiang family has a recipe passed down from family to get rid of carbuncle maggots. Dried ginger is used. Also, please help me prepare a casserole and a stove."
Qi Fei does not know medical skills, but he is keenly aware of the difference between Shen Tianshu and Yan Heming.
When Yan Heming came last time, he directly said that he wanted to give up his right leg. After he repeatedly expressed that he couldn't do it, he casually told him how to wash the wound.
But Shen Tianshu immediately prepared to get rid of the maggots without even mentioning giving up his right leg.
"Ms. Tong, can Jia Lin's leg be saved?" Qi Fei asked nervously.
"The odds of winning are at most 50%. All I can say is that you try your best, and the rest is up to God."
Fifty percent was already much higher than Qi Fei's expectation. He walked out of the room with his feet swaying and went out to order people to prepare what Shen Tianshu needed.
Not long after, the Wuman people brought in a charcoal stove and a casserole.
Shen Tianshu found alum from the medicine box, put it in a casserole and melted it with moxa heat, then simmered it until it dried up and then took it out, thus making dried alum.
After a while, Qi Fei sent someone to retrieve dried ginger from the Chinese medicine shop in the city and gave it to Shen Tianshu.
Shen Tianshu ground and sieved dried ginger and alum, then sprinkled it carefully on Jialin's wounds, and then asked someone to wrap the medicine on the area with cloth strips.
"Don't wrap it too tightly, just wrap it loosely." Shen Tianshu said, turned around and said to Qi Fei, "In this way until tomorrow, the maggots should be eradicated. I'll come back then to see what the next step is. How to do it."
Qi Fei was a little hesitant. Is it as simple as that?
You know, since maggots appeared on Jialin's wound, he has tried many methods, such as applying medicine, taking medicine or manually washing and picking, but there is no way to remove the root.
Is it possible to get rid of maggots at once by just sprinkling dried ginger mixed with dried alum?
Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't say anything. Lady Tong was his last hope, and even if it didn't work, he had to persevere to the end.
"Mrs. Tong, why don't you stay in the mansion? I've already arranged the guest room."
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Qi, but a few people were injured on the way when we came here. I have to go back and see them. As for this, I will come back tomorrow afternoon."
Qi Fei was easy to talk to and personally led people to send Shen Tianshu and his party out of Juzhou City.
Li Zian had already sent someone to wait at the city gate. When he saw Shen Tianshu coming out, he immediately stepped forward and surrounded Shen Tianshu back to the camp.
Seeing this, Qi Fei had an inexplicable feeling that the reason why Shen Tianshu was so valued was because of her superb medical skills, and his confidence in her increased a bit.
When Shen Tianshu returned to the camp, Li Zian had already changed his medicine and clothes, and was sitting in the tent staring at Fan Bingrong.
He originally wanted to pick up Shen Tianshu in person, but unexpectedly he was looked down upon by Fan Bingrong.
Fan Bingrong was also showing off his old face. He stayed by Li Zian's side even as he changed clothes, wiped his body, and changed his dressing. He really stayed close to him, for fear that if someone didn't pay attention, Li Zian would also imitate Qi Zihao and sneak away.
So when they saw Shen Tianshu come back intact, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ms. Tong, what's the condition of that man in Juzhou City?" Fan Bingrong couldn't help but ask, thinking that if he really couldn't do it, he would have to quickly find a way to pack up and run away!
However, the Wuman people are not easy to offend, especially in the dense forest. They can be said to be like a fish in water. Even the best secret guards in the palace dare not boast that they will be able to escape the pursuit of the Wuman people in the mountains and forests.
"The situation is indeed very serious, and I am not very sure. Now I can only take one step at a time." After Shen Tianshu said this, he seemed to have read through Lord Fan's mind and said, "Don't worry, Lord Fan, if we really find out If it cannot be cured, I will tell you in advance and make preparations in advance."
"Then thank you Madam Tong." Fan Bingrong said thank you, but in fact he didn't take it seriously.
Things like life and death are the most unpredictable. Who knows if Jia Lin will die suddenly, so he still has to make plans in advance.
Thinking of this, Fan Bingrong couldn't sit still, stood up and said: "Master, since Madam Tong has returned safely, I will leave first."
After saying that, he exited the tent and hurriedly looked for his men to figure out how to escape intact.
Now only Shen Tianshu and Li Zian were left in the tent, looking at each other.
Shen Tianshu was speechless and asked: "How is the injury on the prince's back?"
Li Zian said, "The injury is on my back. I don't know what's wrong with it. Why don't you help me take a look?"
As he spoke, he suddenly unbuttoned his shirt and took off his coat.
He was wearing nothing underneath!
The strapped upper body was once again looked at by Shen Tianshu.
She hurriedly avoided looking and said: "Since Mo Ze has re-applied medicine and changed the bandage for the prince, there should be no big problem. It's getting late, and the prince should go to bed early, so I will leave."
Shen Tianshu left Li Zian's tent in a hurry and returned to his own tent. He even forgot to ask Mo Ze about the wound.
Now that he finally had a stable place to stay and had checked on the patient's condition, Shen Tianshu felt that most of the burden in his heart had been lifted.
When I entered the tent, I found that it had already been decorated.
The ground has been baked by fire and is very dry. The straw spread on the ground is also very dry, exuding the authentic smell of plants.
The mattress on the straw was one more than the one on the road, and it was very soft.
Minghui also ordered insect repellent pills next to the bed.
Shen Tianshu got into bed contentedly and soon fell asleep.
She didn't know how long she slept before she was woken up anxiously by Minghui.
"Madam, wake up quickly. The prince has a fever. Mo Ze is here to ask you to take a look!"
Shen Tianshu got up in a hurry. He got up so hard that he felt his heart beating rapidly. He grabbed Minghui and asked, "What did you just say?"
"Your Majesty has a fever..."
Only then did Shen Tianshu confirm that he was not dreaming. He got up, quickly put on his clothes, and took the medicine box to Li Zian's tent.
Li Zian was wearing only a middle coat and was lying on his side on a makeshift bed made of straw and mattress. His face was flushed and his mouth was opening and closing without knowing what he was saying silently.
Shen Tianshu reached out and touched his forehead, and it was indeed hot.
She really regretted it now. She shouldn't have checked his wound because of embarrassment. Even if she didn't check it, she should have asked Mo Ze about the condition of the wound.
Shen Tianshu picked up the scissors and quickly cut a big hole in the inner garment, then cut off the straps inside. The wound was immediately exposed in front of her eyes.
It has been a few days, but the wound shows no sign of healing at all, and the surrounding area has begun to become red and swollen.
