PFC Chapter 185 Aftermath
Chapter 185 Aftermath
Soon, each family helped the seriously injured people back to the cave.
At first glance, there were quite a few people lying in the cave.
When people are fighting, they are very emotional and the pain is not that intense.
After stopping for a while, the pain in the body became more and more obvious, and cries of pain were heard from the crowd from time to time.
Lu Qingqing looked at the wounded people scattered all over the cave. Some of them were seriously injured and even ordinary medicine would not be enough to save them.
Now, the situation on the mountain is tense and the team is full of injured people.
If someone with ill intentions wants to take advantage of the situation, then...
After thinking about it, Lu Qingqing called Qin Lang, and the two of them took out a bucket from the carriage.
Lu Qingqing cleared her throat and said loudly:
"I have boiled water here. If you need to clean a wound, please take it from here!"
Many people in the cave knew that Lu Qingqing did not drink raw water, and thought that boiled water was always better.
Hearing Lu Qingqing's words, they all came over with bowls and ladles to scoop water.
Lu Qingqing wandered around the cave, and when she saw someone seriously injured, she helped treat the wound.
After all the injured people in the cave were settled, Lu Tianming arranged for a few people with less serious injuries to replace those who were on duty outside.
Some of the people on night duty outside were injured and needed to go back to the cave to treat their wounds.
The rest of the people who were less seriously injured began to go out and search for corpses. There were still many corpses outside waiting for them to deal with.
Each person who touched the corpse was assigned an area, and Lu Qingqing was assigned an area near the periphery.
She skillfully slashed the neck of the corpse with a knife and then began to search the body.
After searching everywhere, even the place where hair was tied, all he found was a dirty water bag tied around his waist.
Lu Qingqing put the things aside and began to search the second body.
About a quarter of an hour later, Lu Qingqing stood up and looked at the small pile of things on the ground.
This was all she had found in that area. Apart from a few copper coins occasionally, there were almost no valuable items in it.
At this time, the rest of the people had almost finished searching, and they picked out the things they had found and carried them back to the cave.
As for the body, they just left it there for now and planned to deal with it tomorrow.
After today's battle, everyone is exhausted.
As usual, night watchmen are arranged. Since it is estimated that there will be less than two hours until dawn, only one group of night watchmen are arranged.
Lu Qingqing was also very tired this time. After lying down, she only felt sore arms and fatigue all over her body.
She took out the water bag and drank a few sips of space water, then handed it to Qin Lang beside her. They both drank it before going to bed.
Soon, the sound of two people snoring could be heard in the carriage.
The next morning, when Lu Qingqing woke up, she felt that she had not slept enough and was dizzy, but her body was no longer sore.
After breakfast, the night watchmen went back to sleep.
The remaining people, except those who were seriously injured, gathered at the entrance of the cave.
The scene outside was bloody, but the temperature was still low and no mosquitoes came around.
Lu Tianming decided to deal with the body first. After discussing with everyone, he decided to throw the body into a deep ditch not far away.
The ditch was quite steep and it was not easy to go down.
This way, the corpses won't become food for others.
The crowd grunted as they dragged the corpses, one after another, to the ditch.
By the time the cave entrance was cleared, the sun was already high in the sky.
The crowd did not stop to rest. The gate of the cave was burned yesterday, and they had to make the gate as soon as possible.
Everyone went back to the cave, got axes, and set out to look for suitable wood.
The rest of the people stayed in the cave to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation and breaking in.
At the entrance of the cave, Lu Qingqing straightened her back and heard the sound of her joints moving. After moving a few times, she felt more comfortable.
She looked outside the cave. It was quiet all around and she didn't see even a single refugee.
At this time before, many refugees had already come out to look for food.
It seems that everyone around knows about this battle.
Lu Qingqing looked down at the bloodstains on the ground, hoping that this fight would scare them for a while, or at least prevent them from coming again in the short term.
At the entrance of the cave, Wang Dashan was on duty. Seeing Lu Qingqing staring blankly outside, he said:
"Daya, go back and have a rest while you're free. I don't think anyone would dare to come over and cause trouble now."
Lu Qingqing looked at Wang Dashan, whose eyes had become sharp, and replied:
"Let's hope no one else comes here before we recover from our injuries!"
After Lu Qingqing finished speaking, she felt a little tired and planned to go back and rest.
Not long after I sat down, I saw chaos breaking out at the Yao family's place.
It turned out that Mrs. Yao had a fever and had started talking nonsense.
Mrs. Yao's arm was scratched yesterday. Since the Yao family always had boiled water on hand, she did not go to get the water from Lu Qingqing's bucket.
At this time, Mrs. Yao caught a fever, and County Magistrate Yao and his three sons became anxious.
But there was no doctor in the team at that time. Only Master Yan knew a little about external injuries, but after all, there were differences between men and women.
Master Yan originally wanted Mrs. Yan to take a look at the situation and then report it to him.
Lu Qingqing noticed this situation and volunteered.
"Master, let me help Madam Yao. I'll tell you what's going on."
When Master Yan saw her, he quickly let her pass.
Lu Qingqing entered the carriage, and Yao Bowen's wife beside her nodded at her.
The two men worked together to undress Mrs. Yao and wrapped a layer of white cloth around the wound.
Lu Qingqing carefully cut open the white cloth with scissors, revealing a thick layer of medicine powder underneath.
The powder covered the wound, making it impossible to see the situation.
After Lu Qingqing washed her hands, she used the water in the water bag to rinse the golden wound medicine covering Mrs. Yao's wound.
When the powder was washed away, a wound with peeling skin and flesh was revealed.
At this time, the wound has become red, swollen and inflamed.
Lu Qingqing used the water in the water bag to clean the wound again, then left the carriage and told Master Yan about the situation.
When Master Yan heard that the wound was red and swollen, he knew something was wrong.
The most frightening thing about getting injured these days is the redness and swelling of the wound, followed by a high fever. Many people die from this.
After hearing this, Master Yan frowned and turned to look at County Magistrate Yao next to him.
"Brother Yao, this wound is red and swollen, and there's nothing I can do. However, I still have some antipyretic medicine in the car. Take it and see how it goes. As for what will happen next, it's hard to say."
County Magistrate Yao bowed deeply to Master Yan and said gratefully:
"Thank you so much! I know I should see a doctor, but now... ah!"
Master Yan turned around and went back to the carriage to get some antipyretic medicine. Yao Bowen thanked him a few times and then hurried to boil the medicine.
County Magistrate Yao thanked Lu Qingqing again, and Lu Qingqing waved her hand and went back to the carriage to work.
She applied a layer of golden medicine on Mrs. Yao's wound before bandaging it again.
After taking the antipyretic medicine, Mrs. Yao's fever finally subsided around noon and she woke up.
When her sons saw her wake up, they almost cried. The whole family gathered around her and talked in low voices.
