Chapter 15 - Fainted! Wound infection! Treatment!
“Does Miwei have feelings for this human noble?”
When she saw this scene, Miwei’s sister couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.
Miwei’s actions made her feel that she… probably has a strong liking for Richard!
And this kind of liking might even be evolving into love!
This surprised her a bit, because judging by the time, Miwei hasn’t been here for more than a few days!
In such a short time, Miwei actually developed feelings for a human noble?
And this human noble hasn’t shown any signs of coercion towards her!
“Who is this human!”
Miwei’s sister couldn’t help but wonder.
“It’s dangerous for Miwei to be in the human’s territory. Let’s take Miwei away first, and spare this human… for now!”
With this in mind, Miwei’s sister quietly approached, ready to knock Richard out before taking Miwei away.
“….No. Someone’s coming.”
At this moment, Miwei’s sister’s pointed ears twitched, hearing something as she whispered.
Cat girls are somewhat similar to cats in some respects, except one is a demi-human and the other is an animal.
Actually, don’t underestimate cats.
A cat’s vision is 7 times better than humans during the day and 10 times better at night.
A cat’s hearing is twice as good as humans’.
A cat’s reaction speed can also be four times faster than humans’.
Moreover, a cat’s running speed is not slow at all. The fastest cats can reach speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour.
How could humans reach such speeds?
As for smell, it goes without saying that it surpasses humans, and a cat’s sense of smell is even stronger than that of a dog!
It’s just that their physique is slightly weaker.
Cat demi-humans are far better than cats in terms of these characteristics.
Therefore, trained cat girls are actually quite formidable assassins!
Even on the front lines, they possess extremely powerful combat capabilities!
Miwei’s sister is a warrior trained since childhood. So, she quickly heard the commotion from afar.
A minute later, dozens of people ran over in groups.
This is the territory army formed by Richard. These guys were currently jogging.
Initially, they thought jogging was easy.
But… after running for a day, they knew just how exhausting it was.
They jogged more than ten kilometers in the morning, and more than ten kilometers again in the afternoon.
After running all day, their bones felt like they were falling apart.
However, motivated by high wages and chicken legs, only three people couldn’t persist and dropped out until today.
And in the past few days, more people living outside the town heard the news and joined in. The size of the territory’s army had reached over fifty.
“My Lord.”
“Greetings, my Lord~”
Seeing Richard, the fifty-plus people stopped to greet him.
Richard nodded slightly at these guys drenched in sweat and said, “Well done, keep running!”
“Yes, my Lord!”
These dozens of people, upon hearing Richard’s praise, straightened up as if they had been injected with chicken blood, feeling energized, and ran one after another.
In no time, these fifty-plus people ran far away.
“Opportunity has come.”
Miwei’s sister heard the people running away and quickly sneaked into Richard’s vicinity.
Then, she leaped lightly and charged out.
However, before she could get close, her expression changed.
Because an extreme feeling of weakness surged up.
Instantly, waves of dizziness swept through her head.
Her hand reached for her waist, where she felt a stabbing pain.
“How could it happen now?”
Miwei’s sister’s eyes were getting a bit blurry.
Then…
She collapsed straight down.
“Ah… Sister?”
As she passed out, Miwei’s sister heard Miwei’s cry of alarm!
___
“Is she your sister?”
A minute later, Richard looked at the cat-eared girl being held by Miwei, saying.
Miwei nodded and said, “Yes, she’s my sister Mia. She was sent to a secret place for training since she was young and could only come back once a year. This time, she must have secretly come out to find me. Ah… she’s injured.”
“Let me see.”
Richard walked over and saw a deep wound on Mia’s waist.
He felt her forehead, which was burning hot.
‘The wound is infected.’ Richard thought.
Mia’s condition indicated acute illness after the wound became infected.
Pus, unconsciousness, and high fever were all symptoms.
In the world before crossing over, during the era of cold weapons, countless soldiers died from infected wounds on the battlefield.
During that time, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers was quite high.
In “Game of Thrones,” Daenerys’s first husband, Khal Drogo, such a powerful man, was disabled directly from a small wound infection caused by showing off!
Now Mia’s situation was similar.
With the medical level in this world, it would be difficult to cure Mia now. Unless they found a mage who could heal with magic.
However, mages were so rare that it was impossible to find one in a short time.
Fortunately, she encountered Richard.
Because Richard had a friend who was a doctor before crossing over, he happened to have knowledge about administering basic first aid.
“Let me handle it. Her condition is serious, and we must return to deal with it.” Richard said.
After speaking, he picked up Mia. She was very light, weighing less than a hundred pounds.
With Richard’s enhanced physical qualities, it was no problem at all.
He quickly carried Mia back to the castle and then took out alcohol, scalpels, distilled water, gauze, iodine, and so on from the storage space.
After crossing over, Richard naturally prepared these medical supplies through online shopping.
The first step was to clean Mia’s wound to prevent further deterioration.
Richard cut open the girl’s clothes a bit, revealing a long and deep wound on her waist. The wound was about ten centimeters long and more than a centimeter deep!
Such a wound, although shocking, was not considered too severe in Richard’s world before crossing over.
However, Mia had only dealt with it simply, just cleaned it a bit, and tore off her clothes to stop the bleeding, which led to the infection.
And after she was injured, it seemed that she had traveled a long way. With such fatigue, it would be strange if there were no problems.
Richard ignited the alcohol, sterilized a small knife, put on medical gloves, and then removed all the dead flesh from her wound.
During this process, Miwei watched nervously from the side but didn’t say anything.
Richard’s method of treatment was unprecedented to her, but she trusted him, so she didn’t interrupt.
After removing the dead flesh, Richard washed the wound with clean water and then disinfected it with iodine. After treating her wound thoroughly, he took out the infection-fighting miracle drug—penicillin.
“Here, open her mouth.”
Richard crushed the potassium penicillin V tablets, put them in a spoon, and said to Miwei.
“Oh.”
Miwei hurried over and pried open Mia’s mouth.
Richard fed her the penicillin and then helped her sit up to swallow it.
Then he took out a piece of Angong Niuhuang Wan and fed it to Mia. This was a traditional Chinese medicine that could detoxify, reduce fever, be effective for stroke coma, and to some extent, prevent sepsis.
“Give her a bit of hot water every now and then,” Richard said.
Mia’s condition wasn’t particularly serious yet, and she hadn’t developed sepsis due to the infection, otherwise, it would be even more troublesome.
