Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 31 Stitches

The remaining robbers were also hacked to the ground by the villagers who rushed up.

After all the robbers had fallen, Su Yue returned, leading her horse and carrying a large iron ladle.

Many villagers were also seriously injured, and several had died.

Several women were wailing over the bodies of their loved ones. Most of the villagers were also injured. If it weren't for Su Yue, most of them would probably be dead.

At first, some people didn't dare to kill, but they only dared to kill when they saw their own people being killed.

After Su Yue returned, many villagers expressed their gratitude, but no one dared to approach her.

Su Yue didn't care about any of this; to her, the lives and deaths of these people were none of her concern.

At this moment, Aunt Wei from the back of the group jogged over, pulled Su Yue up and down to check her over, and seeing that she was not injured, she said, "You were too impulsive just now, I couldn't stop you. What if you had been injured? No wonder you dared to travel alone. No matter how good you are, you should be more careful. But it's all thanks to you that we were saved. You are truly our benefactor."

After saying that, she pulled her child and the injured man to kneel down and kowtow to Su Yue.

Su Yue tried to hold onto one, but couldn't hold onto another.

The villagers all understood that if it weren't for Su Yue, everyone would probably be dead, so they didn't dare to get close, but they still knew how to be grateful.

They all knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude!

"Thank you, my benefactor."

"Thank you, my benefactor!"

Su Yue had no choice but to pull up the people closest to her and say, "Stop kneeling. Quickly clean up and see if there's anything usable so we can leave. The smell of blood here is too strong. Don't cause any more trouble. Put the injured and immobile people on the cart and find a safe place to bandage them."

The villagers agreed; they were all injured and in good health, and if another malicious person came along, they wouldn't be able to deal with them.

Those who were uninjured or only slightly injured quickly picked up the robber's machete.

Seeing Su Yue touching the robber's corpse, they also followed suit and touched the corpse.

Seeing that more refugees were catching up, the villagers quickly pulled their carts away.

Su Yue sat on horseback, looking cheerful; it was clear she was in a good mood.

When she was looting the corpse, she found five hundred-tael silver notes and a dozen or so five-tael silver ingots. She patted her satchel, feeling pleased with herself.

Hehe, no wonder those people on TV used to love robbing people. It's such a fast way to make money. If I could run into more of them, I'd be making money every day.

It was indeed a pleasant day.

Soon Aunt Wei and the others found a safe place.

None of them were doctors; they all used medicinal powders made by the village hunters.

For small wounds, applying some medicine powder can stop the bleeding, but for larger wounds, no matter how much medicine is applied, the bleeding won't stop, and there's a fear that if it continues to bleed, the person might die.

Su Yue watched them pour packets of medicine powder onto the wounds of the severely injured people, and she clicked her tongue in disapproval.

I'm in a good mood today, so I'll help them out!

“You can’t just pour the medicine powder like that; it won’t work with such a big wound.” As soon as Su Yue finished speaking, an old woman knelt down on the ground, grabbed Su Yue’s hand, and cried, “Benefactor, please save my son! I will kowtow to you and offer you a longevity tablet from now on. Please, please save him.”

Then, the families who were seriously injured knelt on the ground and began to beg, no longer caring whether they were desperate and grasping at straws.

"Get up, all of you get up first. I have a plan, it just depends on whether you dare to use it." Su Yue looked at the huge wound; if it wasn't stitched up, she was afraid she would bleed to death.

The people kneeling on the ground heard this and said, "We're willing to try anything to save our boss." One of the middle-aged women said.

"Okay, I need some needles and thread, candles, strong liquor, and clean cotton cloth," Su Yue instructed.

Everyone looked troubled; where could they find strong liquor in this desolate wilderness?

"I have needles, thread, and candles at home. I'll go back and get them right away," a young woman said as she ran off.

A short while later, the woman returned with a needle, thread, and a candle.

After asking around, I couldn't find any shops carrying strong liquor, probably because someone had fled the famine without bringing anything important.

Su Yue has wine in her spatial storage, but she can't conjure it up in front of so many people.

He made an excuse, saying there was a bottle in his basket, and went to get it himself.

Luckily, I put the basket on the horse's back, otherwise it would have been difficult to find an excuse to take it out.

Su Yue reached into her basket and took out a small jar of wine from her spatial storage. This jar of wine had been mixed with spiritual spring water.

Soon Su Yue selected a young woman and taught her how to clean the wound with alcohol and sew it up with needle and thread.

The young woman, who was hesitant to start at first, was told by Su Yue to treat it as sewing clothes before she dared to begin.

The injured person groaned in pain, but thankfully managed to endure it.

After the stitches were finished, Su Yue poured some spiritual spring water onto the wound and bandaged it with clean cotton cloth.

"Alright, now we'll see how they recover. Remember, don't get the wounds wet," Su Yue instructed.

When everyone saw that the bleeding had indeed stopped, they wanted to kneel down and express their gratitude again.

Su Yue pulled up the nearest one and said directly, "If you kneel down again, the rest who can't be stitched up will have to go."

Next, the young woman and Su Yue worked for more than an hour to stitch up all the wounds again.

After all the wounds were stitched up, it was already completely dark, and the villagers decided to rest there for the night before continuing their journey.

Most of the villagers were injured, and those who were not injured were mostly women and children, so they dared not light a fire to cook.

They were all munching on hard flatbreads made the night before, while Su Yue sat about seven or eight meters away from the villagers.

Several children came to give Su Yue their food. The cakes in her arms had three kinds of dough. After eating half of them, she put the rest into her basket.

Su Yue also felt tired that day, so she spread out the oilcloth, hugged the large iron ladle, and lay down to rest.

The night passed peacefully, though the muffled groans of the injured could be heard throughout the night. Fortunately, no one developed a fever, likely due to the effects of the spiritual spring water.

Because there were too many injured people in the morning, they set off a little late. Su Yue secretly fed the skinny horse some food and followed behind Aunt Wei's group.

A hunter in the village said that if they hadn't been delayed yesterday, they could have reached the town ahead this afternoon if they had traveled for another half day today.

But it won't arrive until almost tomorrow morning.

Having a horse to ride, Su Yue wasn't in a hurry to part ways with these people.

As you walk towards Yuecheng Town, you see more and more refugees. Along the way, you encounter several groups of people. Seeing that one of these groups has wounded members, you might be tempted to join the fight, but then you see the machetes in the villagers' hands and you all back down.

However, this did not stop the refugees who came to beg. The villagers were already frightened by yesterday's robbers and were afraid that these people were just pretending and only wanted to steal their food, so they ignored the refugees.

The scorching sun couldn't stop the villagers; they dared to eat and drink while standing, and didn't even dare to sit down to rest.

These refugees are terrifying. Su Yue has already seen several emaciated refugees desperately trying to snatch away lone individuals.
