Hearing Caroline’s question, the old woman was a little anxious. “What do you know? This is an art that has been passed down from generation to generation.
It has a history of thousands of years. It’s more powerful than you think.”
After saying that, she glanced at Caroline’s wounds and clicked her tongue. “With the few holes on your body, if you don’t stop the bleeding in time, you will lose your life.”
Caroline was aware of this. After fighting with the wolf, she could clearly feel that her physical strength was declining rapidly, and her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.
But now that she was in the jungle, there was no way for anyone to treat her bleeding. So Caroline decided to take off her coat, cut it into thin strips, and bandage the wound tightly. This would slow down the blood loss to a certain extent.
This was the only way Caroline could think of. She knew that she couldn’t hold on for long, so she had to find another way to escape.
Since the old woman said that she was a doctor, she decided to try her best.
“Since you say you’re a good doctor, you can definitely cure me, right?” The old woman glanced at her. “I can treat my injuries, but my medical fees are not cheap. ”
Caroline immediately reported a number. “Although this amount is not high, it is S dollars. If it is converted into Chinese dollars, it will increase by several times. ”
The old woman smacked her lips and was quite satisfied with the amount of consultation fee. She said, “Alright, I can treat you. Come down the mountain with me.”
Caroline asked, “Where do we go down the mountain? How long does it take?”
She Imew that in this remote area, it was not only the villains who wielded knives and guns that were ferocious. There were also some old people and children who became tools for the criminals because they were in this big dye vat. They became tempting baits to lure tourists.
Therefore, Caroline didn’t dare to act rashly. She was afraid that she had just left the wolf’s den and entered the tiger’s den.
The old lady rolled her eyes when she saw her alert look. “Don’t worry, I’m a law-abiding citizen of China. I won’t do anything like that.”
After saying that, she took out a small blue porcelain bottle from her pocket and threw it to Caroline.
“This is Golden Creation. It can stop bleeding quickly. You can apply it on your wounds, and I guarantee that you will be able to persist until you get down the mountain. ”
Caroline took it with doubt. She poured some powder out of her palm and sprinkled it on a wound on her arm. Unexpectedly, the wound stopped bleeding immediately.
Thus, Caroline somewhat believed the old lady’s words.
The two of them walked in the dense forest for almost two hours. The old woman pointed to a house with black tiles and green bricks at the foot of the mountain and said, “There, that’s my house.”
Caroline looked in the direction she was pointing at and saw rows upon rows of houses at the foot of the mountain. Surrounding them were paddy fields that had been reclaimed and planted with rice. Some people were bending over to pull the grass inside, and children would come out of the houses from time to time to run and play outside. It looked very peaceful and calm, unlike those villages that only knew how to torture people.
“Let’s go. We’ll be home in two quick steps.”
“Yes, alright,” Caroline responded softly.
Other than her pale face, she did not show any unusual expression. However, only she knew that if she did not receive timely treatment, she probably would not be able to hold on for long.
Before Caroline was exhausted, the two of them finally arrived at the house at the foot of the mountain.
This was the old lady’s house. It was built much bigger than the houses of the villagers. The courtyard was clean and tidy, and all kinds of household appliances were complete. It could be seen that the old lady’s life was quite comfortable.
Before Caroline could say anything, she was pulled into the room by the old woman and pressed down on a treatment bed.
Caroline didn’t know when she fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, it was already dusk outside.
She was shocked. She was professionally trained. How could she fall asleep so easily in front of an unfamiliar environment and strange people?
This showed how terrifying the old woman’s healing methods were! Caroline didn’t know if she should feel lucky or scared.
Perhaps she heard the commotion in the room, the old woman opened the curtain and came in. “Since you’re awake, come out and eat.”
Caroline sat up with her hand over the wound on her abdomen.. When she moved, she realized that the wounds on her body from the knife, bullet grazes, and wolf bites did not hurt much!
