Chapter 1594: Seeking Medicine

~7 min read 1,336 words

In order to be a good Grand Duke, the knowledge Teresa learned was very eclectic.

Teresa had also mastered this kind of medical knowledge.

Liu Zheng followed closely behind; he watched as Teresa was bandaging the little girl's wound, but she could not stop the bleeding at all.

A pale color appeared on the little girl's face.

Her breathing grew increasingly weak.

Teresa, however, was at a loss, and even more so, she had no idea what to do now.

Liu Zheng thought calmly, recalling the medical books he had seen before, facing the little girl's current condition of severe injury.

Although there were many first-aid measures.

But now, those medicines and items needed for first aid were lacking; just the single item of disinfection and hemostasis could not be satisfied.

Liu Zheng frowned, looking at the withered straw used as a mattress, and sighed inwardly: "Teresa, hurry and help me burn this straw into ash; I have a Method to save her."

Teresa glanced at Liu Zheng and, without the slightest hesitation, followed his instructions, taking the straw spread under the bed outside and burning it into ash in the only brazier available.

Although she did not know what Liu Zheng wanted to do, Teresa chose to trust him.

She also did not know if he could create a miracle.

Liu Zheng took a look at Liangduo and Daniel, who were holding the little girl, and found that the two of them looked a bit familiar.

But he just could not remember who they were.

Liangduo looked at the two people who rushed out to help with a face full of gratitude, saying incessantly: "Thank you, thank you..."

Liu Zheng brushed the thoughts from his mind and checked the little girl's injuries, discovering that she actually had six knife wounds on her body, among which the most fatal one was right in the middle of her neck.

It had almost injured the carotid artery.

Liu Zheng pressed down on the upper and lower ends of the still-bleeding wound, immediately stopping the blood flow, and seeing this, he roared: "Is it burned yet? Hurry and bring it over!"

Teresa brought the brazier over; inside the just-extinguished brazier, the plant ash was still flickering with sparks.

Liu Zheng immediately said: "Hurry and apply the plant ash to her wound. Then wrap it tightly with cloth strips!"

Everyone stared blankly at the plant ash flickering with sparks.

There were sparks now; if one reached a hand in, wouldn't it get burned?

But Teresa did not have the slightest hesitation as she reached her originally fair and tender hand into the brazier, intending to scoop up the plant ash to apply it to the little girl's wound.

Just at this moment, a large hand grabbed her.

Teresa looked at the owner of that large hand and was stunned: "Liu Zheng?"

At this moment, the little girl's wound was being pressed by one of Liu Zheng's hands, while his other hand grabbed Teresa; he glanced at Teresa and said indifferently: "Let me do it."

Teresa struggled a bit and was about to retort, but Liu Zheng added: "She is severely injured; if it is not applied well, problems will arise."

Upon hearing this, Teresa finally lowered her hand, feeling somewhat self-reproachful for her own ignorance.

Liu Zheng reached his hand into the brazier, felt the scalding temperature, grabbed a handful of plant ash, and applied it evenly to the little girl's wound.

Very quickly, the wound stopped bleeding.

Following that, Liu Zheng repeated the process for the little girl's other wounds, applying plant ash to them all.

During this time, Teresa found many clean cloth strips.

Liu Zheng placed his scalded, red, and trembling hand behind his back, not letting Teresa see it.

He said indifferently: "You come and bandage her; I will press her blood vessels."

"Okay." Teresa skillfully bandaged the little girl.

She had already done such things many times.

The two of them busied themselves back and forth for at least two hours before they completely stopped the little girl's bleeding.

Seeing this scene, Liangduo, as a Councilor, had tears in the corners of his eyes and kept thanking them.

Liu Zheng glanced at him and frowned: "No need to thank us yet; she has only temporarily stopped bleeding and has not yet"

"escaped danger."

"Unless you can find more medicine, otherwise she will not survive."

Liangduo's face froze: "Tell me, what medicine is needed? I will go find it immediately; even if it is wine, it is no problem!"

Wine...

Liu Zheng was dumbfounded; why would this thing be needed?

Teresa said solemnly from the side: "She has lost so much blood; she definitely needs wine to replenish it."

Hearing Teresa say this, Liu Zheng was instantly baffled; that wine could replenish blood was something he had never heard of.

Liu Zheng could not help but retort: "No wine is needed; I will give you a list of what is needed."

Liangduo and Teresa looked at Liu Zheng blankly.

If Liu Zheng had not just displayed an extremely professional level of first aid, they would have even thought Liu Zheng was joking.

Teresa said in confusion: "Wine is the blood of the Lord; using the blood of the Lord to replenish it, isn't this the most basic medical common sense?"

Hearing this sentence, Liu Zhen was completely baffled.

He looked at Teresa with a face full of astonishment; what kind of logic was this?

He had never heard that wine could be used as medicine, let alone that it possessed some magical blood-replenishing function.

Perhaps European medical technology was more advanced than their Longyan...

Liu Zheng did not continue to discuss this boring little matter with them.

The most urgent thing now was to find medicine.

Liu Zheng brought out a long list of required medicinal ingredients, all of which Liu Zheng had thought of based on his powerful memory.

But Liangduo looked at this long list of medicinal ingredients; he recognized the characters, but when combined, he did not know what these ingredients were.

"What are these things?"

"For the medicine, go to a nearby pharmacy and see if there is any left."

Liangduo took another look; although he did not know what these were, he still braced himself to go look for these items.

He looked at the little girl who was still unconscious, and a wave of bitterness welled up in his heart.

Ever since they left the Holy See, Liangduo had started thinking of another Method; even if he met the Archbishop, he might still succeed.

But the Holy See did not give him this opportunity; after he left, they actually launched a pursuit and kill order against him and Daniel.

If it hadn't been for running into a few refugee riots, he feared he would have long since died at their hands.

As the situation in Prague escalated, Liangduo realized the severity of the problem.

He had originally intended to risk it today to negotiate with the Holy See.

As a result, the moment he appeared, he was met with the slaughter of the Holy See's Holy Cross Army.

Daniel protected them, and his arm was injured.

The little girl was also stabbed by the Holy Cross Army because of this.

Liangduo led the three of them to escape disaster, but the little girl had sustained serious injuries.

Liangduo glanced at the little girl, whose breathing had become slightly more stable, and once again solemnly thanked Liu Zheng and Teresa, these two refugees who had extended a helping hand.

"Thank you."

Teresa still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Zheng.

Liangduo was just about to go out to look for medicinal herbs, and Daniel also wanted to go with him, but was refused by Liangduo.

His arm was injured now, and coupled with the fact that the little girl's condition was not optimistic, one of the two of them had to stay behind to take care of her.
