The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 967 - 943: Pulling Off a Big Job
Jiang Xiaoxiao washed her hands clean. Burns, cuts, various injuries were treated all together. After finishing treating all these wounded.
It was already broad daylight.
The entire village of the Lin family was now gathered around the threshing ground. At the moment Jiang Xiaoxiao looked up after washing her hands, the villagers kneeled in front of her in a mass of black.
Led by several elderly clan leaders of the Lin family, they bowed their heads vigorously towards Jiang Xiaoxiao.
"Mr. Jiang, our Lin family village has done such disrespectful things to you, lacking virtue, yet you do not hold grudges and extend your hand to heal these people of our village. We truly feel ashamed. Mr. Jiang is indeed a person of great virtue.
Mr. Jiang possesses the demeanor of a gentleman. Our entire Lin family village kneels here to thank Mr. Jiang for the life-saving grace."
Jiang Xiaoxiao asked Li Tieniu to help them up.
"Dear villagers! As for past events, everyone has their own judgment, but now it concerns human lives. No matter how deep our grudges are, lives are more important than anything. These people have basically recovered. Those who need medicine have taken it, those who need injections have received them.
However, the doctor you invited hasn't arrived yet? I have very little medicine left here. If the medicine is depleted without replenishment, I fear these people truly are in mortal danger."
Jiang Xiaoxiao used the limited medication to give some critically ill patients infusions and injections, but without complementary medication treatment, it is hard to solely rely on the injured to pull through.
In this era, catching a cold could be fatal, let alone potentially tetanus and inflammation which truly can kill.
"Here he comes, the one who went to fetch the doctor has returned."
A horse-drawn carriage stopped, and an elderly man, hair and beard white, tumbled directly from the vehicle.
Pale-faced, obviously exhausted from the journey, this elder nearly got shaken to death.
"How could you savages do such a thing? Look at my master almost spilling his guts. Are you inviting a doctor, or coming to murder?"
A young medicine apprentice jumped down from the carriage, carrying the master's large medicine chest, hurried to assist his master while angrily shouting at the villagers driving the carriage.
He really looked like he wanted to fight with the Lin family village's people.
The carriage driver awkwardly said, "Doctor, please save lives first. Saving one life is better than building ten levels of pagoda. Truly, the village folks are waiting to be rescued."
The old doctor almost vomited bile completely, seeing the other party's pitiful expression, he didn't say much.
Patients' families are typically like this, he gestured to the apprentice beside him to stop talking.
"Alright, alright, stop talking, quickly take me to see the patients."
Seeing the threshing ground full of patients, the elder was startled. Why so many injured?
But seeing all the wounded already given simple treatment and bandaging made his eyes freeze.
Especially the dressing he hadn't seen before, some wounds on the arms of the injured were still exposed.
A hideous centipede-shaped wound made him a bit shocked but filled with great interest.
He had seen some medical practitioners handling wounds, usually letting external injuries heal on their own.
But this kind, stitched method, he truly hadn't seen before.
Unless it was stitched with a needle, could it be sewing the wound like fabric?
Over here, Jiang Xiaoxiao relaxed seeing the doctor arrive, she had used up almost all her medicine.
Few pills were left in the medical kit.
She must keep some just in case, and now she couldn't contact her family's little demon king.
If the little demon king arrives and could help bring some supplies, it would be good.
Currently, materials aren't lacking, food and drink are ample, but medical supplies are still short.
Jiang Xiaoxiao directly called Li Tieniu to leave.
She's helped as much as she could, now it's the doctor's responsibility, the few bottles of infusion given, each patient received one, now the needles are removed, leaving it to the doctor's skills.
Li Tieniu respectfully drove Mr. Jiang back to their village.
Returning to the village, the tightly shut gates opened immediately.
On the wall, someone had long seen their returning silhouette, immediately welcoming them back.
Upon hearing about the plight of the Lin family village, many felt a lingering fear, glancing at their own high walls.
Thinking back, if not for these city walls last night, perhaps those bandits would have turned to their Li Family Village, possibly resulting like the Lin family village.
Grateful for Mr. Jiang and Li Tieniu's wisdom.
The village adults are training even more diligently, protecting their home, their family, is the most important.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaoxiao and Li Tieniu held a small meeting with several key village members.
From the Lin family village's situation, they gauged that many bandits are nearby, seeming like the bandits were diverted by Lin family village, as news of their recent windfall spread, many must be eyeing the Lin family village.
But once word spreads of the Lin family village being plundered, other bandits might reconsider.
Then, the first target might be the Li Family Village.
At this time there's only increasing villagers' training rigor.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaoxiao sent Li Tieniu and others to surrounding villages to gather grain.
Stockpiling more grain can handle future crises.
For example, if the village were besieged, they still have food and drink, meanwhile inviting two elders skilled in digging wells, specifically digging wells within the village for water supply.
The village's only source is the well at the entrance, if the village were besieged, this source could easily be cut off, so digging two wells near the mountains ensures their resource supply.
Li Tieniu whispered to Jiang Xiaoxiao, the silver in the village was nearly depleted, that spent on building tall walls was substantial.
Moreover, the village added 400 mouths, just the grain bought was large, if continuing like this, they'd deplete resources.
Jiang Xiaoxiao responded without a second thought, they'll sell illicit salt again.
Now that everyone has silver, and this time many laborers are available.
They'll execute a big operation.
Directly bring this illicit salt back, reprocess into powdered snowflake salt, selling far within the borders.
The rich land within lacks powdered snowflake salt.
But this requires time, Jiang Xiaoxiao needs a grand battle to frighten those coveting Lin Family Village bandits.
Allowing them to leave peacefully.
Only then would Jiang Xiaoxiao dare to leave.
And inquire news about number ten.
