At this moment, the most important thing was not how Liu Ruyi got injured, but how to treat the wound.
In ancient times, there were no antibiotics. If the wound got infected and the condition worsened, there was no way to treat it. One could only lie down and wait for death.
Without any awareness of disinfection, the number of people who died from infected wounds every year was uncountable.
She did not know where this cloth was found. Although it looked clean, it was definitely full of bacteria. The wound had never been disinfected. This was a matter of life and death. Was there a need to be so careless!
"Son-in-law, the water is ready!"
Not long after, a maidservant ran in with a clean copper basin.
The conditions were too harsh and there was no condition to use alcohol or iodophor to disinfect. He mixed some salt water according to the ratio and asked the maid to throw a clean towel into the pot to boil. After dipping it in the salt water, he carefully cleaned Liu Ruyi's wound.
The effect of salt water was not as good as alcohol, but it was better than nothing. Fortunately, the wound was not deep. Otherwise, the wound would have to be sutured before the medicine could be applied.
There was no medical bandage, so he could only use gauze that had been boiled in boiling water as a substitute. The last time when Xiao Huan cut her hand, Li Yi prepared some and it came in handy this time.
From the beginning to the end, Liu Ruyi just watched quietly and did not say a word.
As a martial artist, there were countless bumps and bruises in daily life. However, their physique was far better than ordinary people. Even if it was a knife wound, it could heal quickly. She did not take such a small injury to heart.
But at this moment, Li Yi's serious look made her not say the words of rejection that she wanted to say.
This was the first time in her life that she had seen such a method of treating wounds. Although she didn't know why he had to use salt water to clean the wound, and the gauze used to bandage the wound seemed to be particular, Liu Ruyi was very convinced of Li Yi's abilities.
Moreover, this feeling of being taken care of was something that she had not experienced for a long time.
Of course, if he did not tie a butterfly knot with the gauze at the end, everything would be even more perfect.
As for Liu Ruyi taking apart the butterfly knot that she tied with great difficulty and making an ugly knot, Li Yi had some complaints in his heart. What a beautiful bow. It was pleasing to the eye and looked a little cute …
Xiao Huan was still the most obedient. After treating Liu Ruyi's wound, she went out to teach the little maid how to tie a butterfly knot.
"Sis, in the future, don't help the government catch those fugitives." After Li Yi and Xiao Huan left, Ruyi sat in front of the bed, holding Liu Ruyi's hand and said after a long silence.
Liu Ruyi smiled and said, "I was careless this time and underestimated his strength. It won't happen again."
"Sister, you don't have to do these things anymore." Liu Ruyi seemed to have thought of something as a smile appeared on her pretty face. She said, "Our family will no longer lack food in the future."
Liu Ruyi didn't understand what she meant. He looked up at her in confusion.
"Do you still remember the Immortal Magpie Bridge?" Liu Ruyi's face showed a rare hint of teasing as she said, "Sister, you have a good husband …"
As the young girl spoke in a low voice, Liu Ruyi's pretty face finally showed a surprised expression …
"The Qixi Poetry Champion, ten taels of silver for a painting …"
In the room, the two of them whispered to each other like sisters. Li Yi tied a ribbon into a butterfly knot and tied it on the little maid's hair. The young girl lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes, her pretty face blushing …
…
…
Reality proved that Li Yi's worries were completely unnecessary. The speed at which Liu Ruyi's wound healed far exceeded his expectations.
This made him extremely suspicious in his heart. Could it be that her body structure was different from others? Such a long gash could heal without leaving a scar in half a month. Was she still a human?
Of course, his relationship with Liu Ruyi hadn't reached the point where they could study each other's body structure. This kind of strange relationship between husband and wife was probably the only one in the stockade village.
Sitting on a rock under the tree in front of the door, a group of naughty children whizzed past him. When they ran past him, they bowed and greeted him, "Mister," and then whizzed away.
Teaching the naughty children was still a part of Li Yi's daily life. The naughty children now didn't just know how to write their own names. When he was bored, he taught them how to write Arabic numerals. After a few days, the naughty children's level was still at the level of addition and subtraction within ten.
In the beginning, the naughty children were very slow to accept this new type of marking. However, ever since Li Yi took out a stick of candied hawthorn as a reward for the naughty child who memorized it the fastest, all the naughty children couldn't sit still anymore.
The power of candied hawthorn began to show for the first time in this strange world.
In just one morning, all the naughty children in the school had memorized how to write the Arabic numerals 1 to 10. It was completely different from the later generations, where they had to make up a mnemonic song like "1 is thin and long like a pencil, 2 is like a duckling floating on water …".
For the naughty children, delicious food was the number one productive force.
Therefore, in the afternoon, all the naughty children in the school ate candied hawthorn.
Of course, Li Yi's position in the hearts of the naughty children had risen to a new height.
The naughty children didn't care about the grudges between their elders. They would remember whoever told them stories and gave them candies. Even the naughtiest naughty child in the stockade village would behave in front of Li Yi. This was something that all the naughty children's parents were envious of.
Moreover, in the recent days, the image of Li Yi in the hearts of the direct descendants of the Liu Clan had undergone an earth-shattering change.
They could look down on the scholar who didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken, but if this scholar could casually draw a painting in exchange for ten stone meters of rice, then everything would be different.
Looking at the fact that someone who used to live at the same standard of living as them, or even worse than them, could eat rice for every meal, this kind of psychological gap was not something that could be erased in a short period of time.
Moreover, it could be foreseen that this was only the beginning. It wouldn't be long before there would be an even greater gap in the stockade village.
Those who wanted to seize the land and other resources that belonged to Liu Ruyi and her sister did so to improve their own lives. However, who would have thought that because of this reason, they would become enemies with the direct descendants of the Liu Clan, which would instead cause them a greater loss.
In a short period of time, more and more people began to weigh the gains and losses in their hearts …
And a certain scholar who caused this change was currently waving a palm-leaf fan, leisurely sitting under a tree in front of the door to enjoy the cool air.
Although the weather at the beginning of August had already entered autumn, the weather at night was still hot and stuffy. Staying inside the house was even more irritating, so it was better to enjoy the wind under the tree outside. The only bad thing was that there were a lot of mosquitoes here. In just a short while, Li Yi's body had already been bitten several times.
Just as he was wondering if there was any way to repel the mosquitoes, a sturdy and sturdy figure walked over from the front.
