2 - Quili
_Q U I L I_
"Be quite all of you, she needs a lot of rest!"
"But Uncle Weng is she gonna be alright?"
"Uncle Weng her wounds look so painful!"
"She really suffered again!"
"Those monsters!"
Yo Huiyin was getting treatment when her eyes fluttered open, Her body was quite numb but the pain she felt earlier was only reduced a little.
Her eyes scanned the room she's in, the little boy from before was standing beside her bed with his hands clasping on the thin cloth that was placed above her body, he had tears in his eyes. She recalled his name is Gu Ruo and she's in the Servants Area or Quili, Quili was the area where servants of the same household work like washing clothes, cooking, farming and also where they live.
Yo Huiyin tried to sit up when an old man stopped her "Yo Huiyin, relax you're body is weak and heavily wounded right now"
Yo huiyin looked at her arm, it was patched up with a cloth. As a scientist she also knew about human anatomy and medicine and covering it with cloth would only make her lose more blood "We don't know what to use for wounds but has already asked for a doctor, don't worry yin'er rest until he comes" the eyes of the old man was filled with worry.
Yo huiyin shook her head, If she waits any longer the wound will be infected, She sat up and looked around for a paper and pen-- she saw the little cloth on the floor and grabbed it, as if the little boy knew what she needed he walked away for a moment to grab her a writing brush.
Yo Huiyin began writing and handed it to The old man she recall as Uncle Weng
"Aloe vera?" Yo Huiyin nodded her head at Uncle Weng "alright we will get you aloe vera, Gu Ruo stay here and assist your Older sister." With that Uncle Weng left in a hurry, even if he didn't knew what is was for he trusts her and would do it for her
She sat up straight and unwrapped the cloth from her right arm
The wound was still bleading and was beat red around the area
Even though the wound was washed clean it was still infected from the whip, she looked for another cloth or paper, Gu Ruo grabbed a small stack of paper and handed it to Yo Huiyin.
She thanked him in her mind, soon when she has recovered she'll also recover her legs and her voice and thank him.
She began writing 'I need Honey' the boy saw this nodded and rushed out to tell Uncle Weng. She looked at the people who watched her from outside the little straw house they smiled at her
"Don't worry yin'er! We will avenge you!"
"Yin'er rest assured here your safe with us!"
"We won't let them hurt you here!"
Yo Huiyin smiled and nodded as thanks looks like your not much alone in this world.
"Everyone go on and back to work, With all of you crowding here the evil People within the manor will come and know of her whereabouts" everyone nodded at the arriving Uncle Weng and left to return to their duties.
Uncle Weng Came in with Gu Ruo on his tail with a tray of aloe vera and a honey jar. They placed on the table beside her "Do you need anything else?" Yo huiyin shook head "Alright, If you need anything don't hesitate and just write what you need to Gu Ruo" with that Uncle Weng left
She took the jar of honey , placing her arm above the thin cloth that was serving her blanket, ripped it to a smaller size, She poured some honey on her wound, the cloth beneath her arm catched the spilling honey. She placed the jar of honey back to the table, grabbed the aloe vera and placed it above her open wound and wrapped the wound coated in honey and aloe vera. She took the cloth with spilled honey and handed it to Gu Ruo who immediately rushed out to get rid of it.
She knew honey would also be a good way to disinfect since the time period she is now is different from hers which actual disinfectants are yet to be invented.
She sighed, she's yet to make progress to her revenge.
She still needs some silver needles to do ucupuncture and more herbal medicine, But she has not even a single copper coin with her. She couldn't possibly ask Uncle Weng, Guess I have to start earning money.
She knew quite a lot of rare medicines that can heal anyone within the same day, It was suppost to be her new invention to present on the board meeting that was gonna happen a few days later of the explosion, now that she's in a different time period, it shouldn't hurt to introduce it to this time period.
But before that she needs a lot of rest, the body she is in is very weak and hungry.
She first wrote down what she needed before laying down and began plotting for her next move.
