Chapter 694 Benefactor
Lu Yangyang glanced at Mingxiu, who quickly stepped forward and helped her up.
"Aunt Chang, Aunt Ping, the old lady needs someone to watch over her tonight," Lu Yangyang instructed, then asked, "Is there anywhere I can change my clothes?"
Her clothes were now stained with blood, and she was going to check on the injured people at other homes later, so wearing these blood-stained clothes wasn't very convenient.
"Yes, yes," Sister Ping nodded quickly and instructed her youngest daughter, "Guoguo, quickly take our benefactor to change his clothes, boil some hot water and send it over, and wash the clothes our benefactor took off."
"My benefactor, please come with me." The little girl from the Huang family, Guoguo, looked at Lu Yangyang shyly and curiously. "My house is on the west side."
When the bandits came to the village, her parents hid her in a cupboard, unaware of what was happening outside. It wasn't until her father carried her grandmother, who was covered in blood, back that she was asked to stay with her mother. She was terrified but dared not cry out.
She overheard her father, brother, and uncles from the village talking outside, saying they were going to report to the authorities. Someone suggested taking her grandmother's body with them, even though her grandmother was clearly still alive.
My older cousin, despite his injury, managed to stop the bleeding for my grandmother and then went out again.
I don't know how long they discussed it, but in the end they still didn't take Grandma away.
Her father and two older brothers had gone out, leaving only her mother and her injured eldest cousin at home. She heard her mother wiping away tears outside, and then she came in to comfort her grandmother, telling her that her uncle would be alright and that she could leave in peace.
They all knew that Grandma wouldn't make it.
But when this older sister appeared, she actually brought Grandma back to life.
Before this, they waited for their grandmother to take her last breath; now they can wait to get through tonight so that she can wake up.
This feeling is amazing.
Guoguo didn't know how to describe it; she only knew that the older sister in front of her was truly amazing.
She gets nervous even when you talk to her.
Lu Yangyang smiled at the little girl and was about to follow her out when a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
The group quickly looked outside.
A group of people pushed open the door and walked in.
When Sister Ping saw the person, she excitedly called out, "Husband!"
Ping's sister-in-law and Chang's aunt quickly went outside.
The visitors were Ping's husband, who was also Doctor Huang's younger brother, and her two sons.
"Pingniang!" Uncle Huang came over and asked anxiously, "How is Mother?"
Ping's tears fell instantly. Before she could utter a sound, Uncle Huang's expression changed, and his legs went weak, almost causing him to kneel down.
Aunt Chang realized he had misunderstood and quickly said, "Oh dear, get up! Auntie is still alive! We've met a miracle doctor!"
Uncle Huang was still holding Ping's arm when he heard this and looked at Aunt Chang in shock.
Ping's sister-in-law quickly explained, "Yes, yes, husband, we've met a great benefactor. Mother is still alive. Our benefactor sent Tiandong back to get medicine. As long as Mother gets through tonight, she'll be fine when she wakes up."
As they were talking, Lu Yangyang also came out.
Ping's sister-in-law said to him, "This is our benefactor; she saved my mother."
Without saying a word, Uncle Huang knelt down in front of Lu Yangyang.
Before he could speak, Lu Yangyang interrupted him in time: "Uncle Huang, get up quickly. I heard from Aunt Chang that you went to the county town to report to the authorities today. I wonder how it went?"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Huang forgot all about thanking him for his great kindness and sighed deeply. "We gathered the able-bodied men from several nearby villages and went to report to the authorities. The leaders were flogged, but we didn't see the magistrate. They said he had gone to the prefectural city and hadn't returned yet. We intended to wait, but as it was getting dark, the officials said they were closing the city gates and told us to go back the next day. If we didn't leave, they would all be thrown into jail. We really had no choice but to leave the city. Alas, at this rate, we don't know how long we'll have to wait to see the magistrate. We were also worried about the safety of the women and children at home, so we rushed back."
After recounting his experiences that day, Uncle Huang thought of the person he had met outside the village and asked, "By the way, benefactor, we just met Manager Song from the merchant caravan who stayed overnight in the village earlier. Do you know him?"
Now that she had figured out what had happened, Lu Yangyang no longer hid anything. "Yes, I went to the border town to visit relatives. I happened to be with Manager Song's caravan. I was originally going to stay overnight, but I heard that something had happened in the village, so I came with Aunt Chang to take a look."
Aunt Chang had initially thought Lu Yangyang had only brought a few assistants, but she was relieved to find out that she had come with Manager Song's caravan. "Oh, so you came with Manager Song's caravan. I'm much more at ease now. Good girl, you must be exhausted. I'll go home and cook for you right away. You're a great benefactor to our village."
Lu Yangyang was indeed hungry, but now was not the time to eat. However, she did not refuse Aunt Chang's kindness: "Aunt Chang, you go back first. I will go and see the other injured villagers later, and then I will go back. Thank you for your help."
"This is no trouble at all. You wait here, I'll go back and make you some pancakes!" Aunt Chang really didn't expect Lu Yangyang to have such great abilities, able to pull the old lady of the Huang family back from the brink of death. This is a divine skill!
After Aunt Chang finished speaking, she left in a hurry.
Lu Yangyang followed Guoguo to her room to change her clothes and tidy up a bit.
When she came out, Huang Tiandong had already brought back all the medicine and carefully showed it to Lu Yangyang: "Do you think it's correct?"
Lu Yangyang checked it and nodded: "Yes, you can go and decoct the medicine now."
Huang Tiandong breathed a sigh of relief. His father was a doctor, but he didn't have much talent for medicine. Fortunately, he had been exposed to medicine for many years and knew all the commonly used medicinal herbs. Since this was a matter of great importance, he was afraid of making a mistake.
Lu Yangyang glanced at his shoulder, which was stained with blood; the wound had clearly reopened. "Let me see the wound on your shoulder."
Huang Tiandong was taken aback.
Ping's sister-in-law quickly took the medicine: "Tian Dong, I'll go and decoct the medicine. You should let your benefactor take a look at your injury."
Huang Tiandong sat down, but seemed a little embarrassed. Seeing him dawdling, Lu Yangyang pressed down on his other shoulder and pulled off the clothes on the injured side.
The blood seeping from the wound had already soaked through the cotton cloth. Lu Yangyang removed the cotton cloth, revealing a wound several inches long underneath.
The wound was treated promptly and medication was applied, so it didn't become infected. However, such a long and deep wound is not easy to heal.
"The wound is too deep and needs to be stitched up. It will hurt a bit. Mingxiu, find him something to bite on." Lu Yangyang said as she began to clean the wound.
Huang Tiandong had endured until now, but his face turned pale with pain, and he clenched his teeth.
After cleaning the wound, Lu Yangyang quickly stitched it up with her fingers, leaving the Huang family, who were watching, dumbfounded. Several times they wanted to say something but stopped themselves, not daring to disturb her.
"How can this wound look like it's being sewn up?"
