After Qin Silong had left, Qin Zhenzhen carefully laid Su Ping face down on the ground, preparing to remove the knife.
“I’ll try to remove the knife, but I must warn you that it might be painful. Just bear with it,” she said.
Su Ping managed a bitter smile. Even on the brink of death, he noticed that Qin Zhenzhen still didn’t seem to approve of his request. It appeared she was determined to divorce his Third Brother.
“I’m not afraid of the pain,” he replied, torn between wanting to live a little longer and feeling the blurriness of his consciousness. Uncertain if he should stop Qin Zhenzhen from helping him, he decided to make one last attempt to survive.
He closed his eyes, bracing himself for what was to come.
As Qin Zhenzhen carefully exposed the wound, she tried to soothe Su Ping’s nerves, telling him, “Don’t worry, the wound seems shallow. I’ll stop the bleeding, and you’ll pull through.”
But Su Ping couldn’t help but smile bitterly; he knew she was lying.
He could even feel the blade piercing in, otherwise he would not have lost consciousness.
Qin Zhenzhen acted swiftly, first applying the spiritual water to the wound and then carefully removing the knife. With remarkable speed, she used one hand to press on the wound to stem the bleeding while continuing to drip the spiritual water on it with her other hand.
Despite her efforts, blood continued to gush out, but she managed to bring it under control soon after.
When the knife was pulled out, Su Ping couldn’t help but scream in pain. However, to his surprise, the pain subsided rather quickly.
As he had been drifting towards unconsciousness, he suddenly felt more alert. Turning to Qin Zhenzhen, he asked, “Third Sister-in-law, has the bleeding stopped?”
“It is basically stopped. I put in hemostatic powder, which is sundried and crushed with Malabar plum.”
Qin Zhenzhen used the handkerchief to wipe away the bloodstains, so the wound could be closed more easily.
Su Ping cried tears of joy. “I won’t die…’
“Of course not!”
At that crucial moment, Qin Silong rushed back to the scene with two villagers trailing behind him. As he had hurried to find the Malabar plum, the villagers had found his behavior peculiar, prompting them to follow him and discover what was happening.
Upon reaching the spot, Qin Silong shouted, “Zhenzhen, we found the Malabar plum, and it’s clean!”
Qin Zhenzhen rea.s.sured him, “I applied some dried Malabar plum powder, and the bleeding has stopped. Please help me crush the plums and place them on the wound; it will be safer that way.”
Although Qin Silong was puzzled by the fact that Qin Zhenzhen didn’t bleed much after removing the knife, he refrained from asking further questions. Instead, he obediently crushed the Malabar plums and applied them to Su Ping’s wound, trusting his sister-in-law’s judgment.
Qin Zhenzhen let out a sigh of relief. She did not reveal that she had spirit water.
The two villagers were shocked and asked what was going on.
Qin Zhenzhen recounted the whole story.
The villagers were even more surprised. “There are robbers in the countryside in broad daylight?”
“Oh my G.o.d, what is going on here?”
Qin Zhenzhen did not intend to explain any more.
At this moment, more villagers came.
They all confirmed what Qin Zhenzhen said.
“No wonder I saw some men running in that direction. They almost killed someone!”
Then they started to come up with ideas.
“Can one of you get the village chief here to deal with this?”
“Someone almost died. We have to report this to the governmental office.” “If we don’t catch them, we will never pa.s.s through this forest again!” “You didn’t get robbed of your money, but this man is injured. When they are caught, they have to pay the compensation..”
