Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 25 - 24: Like mother, like daughter

Upon hearing this, Lin Nianhe dared not delay any longer. She quickly said "Wait here," and hurried back to her own cottage.

Su Yuncheng had gathered various pills for her—anti-inflammatory pills, cold medicine, anti-diarrheal pills...

She didn't look closely, just stuffed them hurriedly into her bag, then took out two bottles of saline, a bottle of iodine, a pack of cotton swabs, and gauze from her storage, peeling off the labels before taking them along.

Right before leaving, she paused, grabbed a bottle of painkiller, poured out about ten pills, wrapped them in paper, and placed them in her bag before hurrying out the door.

Li Xiaoshan was initially just asking for some medicine, but Lin Nianhe directly said to him, "Lead the way, I'll come with you."

Li Xiaoshan's blank eyes brightened slightly, "Educated Youth Lin, do you know medicine?"

"I know a bit, enough to check on them," Lin Nianhe answered with a stern face.

She thought that since Wang Xixi was abducted by the Zhang Family, at most she would have been beaten, the likelihood of other illnesses was slim.

She had survived through the apocalypse for many years, handling external injuries was something she was quite skilled at.

Li Xiaoshan, as if grasping at a lifeline, turned around to lead Lin Nianhe on.

Wang Shumei came over and said to Lin Nianhe, "I'll come with you."

Sun Guanghui also followed, "I'll go take a look too."

Once they spoke up, others began tagging along one after another.

Knowing their good intentions, Lin Nianhe didn't have the position to stop them, she merely nodded indifferently and quickly followed Li Xiaoshan's pace.

Wang Xixi was carried back on a door.

That door was from the Old Zhang Family, directed by Wang Hong and dismantled by Li Xiaoshan.

Having guarded the shabby yard its whole life, it also met a fitting end.

When Lin Nianhe arrived, Wang Hong's house was still bustling, some aunts were helping look after the two little girls, others brought food.

Li Xiaoshan, without even entering, shouted at the top of his lungs: "Mom, Aunt Wang, Educated Youth Lin is here, she can treat illnesses!"

The mannerism was as if a well-known doctor had been brought in.

Wang Hong was tending to Wang Xixi when they were greeted by Aunt Li.

Her eyes were red, but upon seeing the educated youths following, she forced a smile: "It's all right, don't worry, it's all over."

Then she pulled Lin Nianhe over, "Educated Youth Lin, can you treat illnesses? Daxi is seriously hurt, but I'm afraid to send him to town now as it's getting dark and he might get bumped again..."

"I can only dress external wounds," Lin Nianhe said, "If the injuries are too severe, he still needs to be sent to a clinic."

"Alright, alright, just give it a look first."

Aunt Li pulled Lin Nianhe into the house.

They lit a kerosene lamp inside the house; the dim light hardly revealed anything.

Lin Nianhe told Aunt Li, "Aunt Li, could you please borrow a few flashlights, or if not available, candles would also work, it's too dark in here."

You couldn't rely on the dim light from the kerosene lamp.

"Okay!" Aunt Li immediately agreed, not going out herself, but yelled for Li Xiaoshan to handle it.

There weren't many flashlights in the village, candles were also rarely used, Li Xiaoshan resourcefully wrapped up a torch and handed it inside.

Feeling the heat wave from the large candle, Lin Nianhe quickly went to check the injuries on Wang Xixi.

Wang Hong had already removed Wang Xixi's clothes, the seventeen-year-old girl's body was covered with bruises, almost no spot was spared, some marks clearly from the lash of a hemp rope, swollen about an inch high.

The most severe injury was on her forehead, a contusion with blurred flesh and blood, already covered with herbal ash to stop the bleeding.

Wang Xixi was half awake, Lin Nianhe talked to her for a bit, asking her to lift her arms and legs a bit, seeing that she could still move, she also sighed in relief.

If the bones were fine then good, otherwise it would have been troublesome.

Wang Hong sat on the side, clenching her teeth, her hands trembling with anger.

Lin Nianhe softly said, "Aunt Li, please fetch a basin, I'll clean Daxi's wounds."

"Okay, sure."

Wang Hong held Wang Xixi's hand, her eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at Lin Nianhe, "Miss Lin, Daxi is alright, isn't she?"

Lin Nianhe reassured Wang Hong, "I think they are just superficial wounds, don't worry."

Aunt Li brought in a wooden basin. Lin Nianhe asked Wang Hong to hold Wang Xixi's head and began by cleansing her face of blood and plant ash with saline solution.

Wang Xixi, eyes closed, murmured softly, "It's so cool."

As Lin Nianhe cleaned the wounds with a cotton swab, she cautioned, "Don't move around, you wouldn't want to poke your wound or eye. It would be really painful."

Wang Xixi softly hummed in agreement, even her breathing softened.

Lin Nianhe continued to converse with her, asking about any pain in her stomach and how she had been beaten.

Wang Xixi answered in a low voice, and with each reply, Wang Hong clenched her teeth a bit tighter.

Seeing Wang Hong seemed ready to grab a shovel again, Lin Nianhe quickly said, "Aunt Wang, these are just external injuries, please don't do anything rash."

Wang Hong sniffled and spoke softly, "Why are you so reckless, charging into walls? What would your mother do if you died..."

"Mom, if they force me into that wolf's den, I wouldn't survive anyway. Better to die clean than live like that..."

Lin Nianhe was startled, finally understanding how Wang Xixi got her head injury.

Truly Aunt Wang's daughter, with a fierce spirit.

She steadied herself and told her, "Alright, no more tears. It's just a little suffering, it won't scar."

Wang Xixi suddenly opened her eyes, looking at Lin Nianhe as though she was looking at her own mother.

Fortunately, Lin Nianhe was prepared and had already pulled back the cotton swab, avoiding second injuries.

Wang Xixi's eyes full of hope, she asked, "Really? It won't scar?"

Which girl doesn't care about her face? After her impulsive attempts to end her life, of course, Wang Xixi worried the wounds on her head might scar.

Lin Nianhe hummed affirmatively and replied, "The wound is not deep. Take good care of it, avoid water, and prevent infection. If there is any mark, I have a scar removal ointment that you can apply regularly for three to five months, and it will be fine."

Wang Hong was also extremely relieved and her tears welled up.

"Miss Lin, Auntie thanks you. In the future, whatever you need, just tell me, and I'll go through fire and water for you!"

"Aunt Wang, there's really no need."

Lin Nianhe couldn't help but smile as she spoke, lightening the tense atmosphere, all the while diligently continuing her work.

After flushing the wound with two bottles of saline solution, she patted dry the moisture on Wang Xixi's face with gauze and had Aunt Wang move her head back onto the pillow.

"It's time for disinfection; it will hurt a bit, just endure it." Lin Nianhe said and disinfected Wang Xixi's wound with iodine.

This real pain made Wang Xixi fiercely bite her teeth, her body shuddering from it.

One of Wang Hong's hands pressed down on her, the other holding her hand, she told her, "Daxi, pinch mom if it hurts."

Wang Xixi drew a sharp breath but managed to give her mom a reassuring smile, "It's okay, Mom, it doesn't hurt."

"Silly girl..."

Wang Hong said while gently blowing on Wang Xixi's painful spot.

Lin Nianhe worked quickly, minimizing Wang Xixi's pain as much as possible.

"Hold on, I'm getting medicine."

Lin Nianhe turned her back, using the excuse of searching in her bag to take out a tube of regeneration ointment from her storage space.

She had intended to bring this ointment all along, but as all the information about the ointment was printed on the tube and couldn't be erased, she worried about making a mistake during the journey and decided it was safer to take it out on the spot.

As expected, both Wang Hong and Aunt Li's attention were fixed on Wang Xixi, and no one noticed what medicine she had taken out.

The gel-like ointment spread over the wound, its cool sensation spreading and quickly easing the pain.

Wang Xixi squinted her eyes slightly, let out a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves finally relaxed.
