With Ling Cang's support, Su Li carefully washed off the scars on her face, put on her cloak, and left the capital with her donkey.
The weather had cooled down, and she was riding a donkey on the path. Frost had fallen on the surrounding grass, and it looked white.
Su Li was stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, treating people here for free. When the weather is cold and the seasons change, many people will get sick, such as wind-cold and other minor illnesses, and many people will cause diseases in the body. But for the poor, going to the doctor to buy medicine is a very extravagant thing, so when the news spread that Su Li came here and the consultation fee was only five copper coins, many people came to see the doctor.
She rented a family's hut here and used it as a pharmacy, where she attends consultations every day. Within a few days, people in several small villages on the outskirts of Beijing knew that a good-looking and kind-hearted man with excellent medical skills had come here.
"Doctor Li, Doctor Li! Help!"
On this day, just as Su Li put away the medicinal materials and was about to close the door, she heard a shrill voice from a distance.
She ran out quickly, only to see an old lady running towards here with a little girl in her arms, "What's wrong?"
Su Li went up to take a look, and saw the little girl in the aunt's arms with a flushed face, closed eyes, and heavy breathing. What was even more frightening was that she was still covered in blood, and she didn't know where she was injured.
"Doctor Li, please save my daughter, please." The aunt was crying anxiously, her tone full of pleading.
"Don't worry, take the child into the house first, it's too cold outside." Su Li opened the door and asked the aunt to put the child on the couch.
"Doctor Li, my daughter was bitten by a little beast on the mountain two days ago, and she bled a little, so I bandaged her. Who knew that her wound would open today, and blood would come out, my child I can’t wake up, what should I do!” the aunt asked while wiping her tears.
"Many animals in the mountains are poisonous. I'm afraid she is poisoned. I'll treat her first, and you can boil some hot water." Su Li knew that she couldn't let the aunt watch by her at this time, lest the situation would scare her for a while. He looked at her, so he found something for her to do.
The aunt quickly responded and ran out to make a fire.
Su Li took the scissors and cut open the little girl's clothes. After stuffing a pill she made herself into her mouth, she locked several acupuncture points on her body with gold needles. Then, she picked up a scalpel that was later made to order, and after pouring the strong wine and baking it on the fire to sterilize it, she directly dug out the bitten piece of flesh on the little girl's arm.
After a few days, the bitten place has rotted, and the area around the wound has turned black, exuding an unpleasant smell.
If she had been sent here for treatment earlier, she wouldn't have suffered so much. It's a pity that the little girl's parents didn't care, and thought it was an ordinary animal bite and bandaged it. This caused the surrounding meat to rot. .
Su Li carefully removed the carrion from the little girl's hands. This scene looked very scary.
After the carrion was removed, she poured the crushed concoction into the blood hole, and after a while, the black concoction was completely congealed. She breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately there was still time, otherwise the little girl would have been poisoned to death.
She took out gauze and wrapped it around the wound, and took off the gold needles one by one.
After the hot water outside had improved a bit, the little girl woke up moaning, whimpering and crying out in pain.
