Loving the Wound Treatments

Scaly Skin
Rully walks into her house after seeing Naka's car drive her away. Then, he washed his hands and feet, changed his wet clothes in the room, before meeting his father Aaron—, who was waiting for him in the room they used to use as a place to concoct drugs.
“From anywhere, Ru ... raining, right, on the road?” baina asked, she is Rully's mother, she is almost 60 years old, the same age as her husband. The woman gave birth to Rully diC from, when she was vulnerable to conceive, God gave her a child after trying for so many years they were married.
She approached the girl in the room who, standing in front of the mirror, was combing her hair wet with rainwater. Actually the rain was not too heavy, but, Rully was on the side of the road long enough just to make sure Naka was okay.
“I saw Bimbim, Mom, he already has a new family now and I'm glad he has a better life!” rully said without looking at her mother.
“Thank God,” said Baina while noticing something was different from her son, until she asked again, “where is your necklace?”
The woman knew that Ruli never took off the necklace that always hung around her neck.
Rully looked towards her neck and said, “Oh, I gave it to Bimbim, and I promise I will be there to pick up the necklace someday!”
“Oh, yes already, meet your father, he has been waiting from earlier!”
Rully walked up to Aaron, the 60-year-old man, who was putting some capsules filled with dried herbs in a small plastic bag for sale the next day.
“Daddy, all dry?” said Rully immediately followed her father's activities after wearing gloves.
Aaron turned to Rully for a moment and returned to packing all the capsules.
“I made you honey mixed with bee house, apply on your neck!” he said while pointing at the glass containing kevoklau-colored honey.
“Daddy found beehive again?”
“Yes! I took it a little before it was sold. Already mixed with a little tinospora!”
(Tinospora crispe is a bitter batrawali plant that is commonly used as a herbal ingredient because of its properties, sometimes also mixed with honey for health and endurance, and also, some of the terms referred to by female characters are herbal terms in Latin, beluntas/plucea indica)
“Hmm ..” said Rully after spending half a glass of honey, and the rest she smeared on her neck. If he had not scratched it hard when he felt the itching and heat due to being exposed to poisonous leaves, then it would not be as severe as the wound on his skin.
“Dad, this is too bitter, what father added the other, there is a slightly sour taste!”
Aaron chuckled and replied, “Oh yes, I added erithrina and tamarin! You've been fatter due to a lot of idle these past few months, so, that's good for you!”
“Dad! Mom was fat, but Dad didn't give her that potion!”
“I like your mom so much, that I look happy, but, you ... Not necessarily your future husband likes fat women!”
Rully looked at herself in the mirror while rubbing the potion on her neck, she recalled how she had been injured, which resulted in her face turning ugly. The incident in the forest was a terrible memory and heartbreaking for him. For him not, he experienced two fateful events at once at one time.
That day he had no activities, because the clinic where he used to help a sinse in the city, was closed. He also took the initiative to follow his father to the forest not far from where they lived. Aaron found a collection of honeybees in the forest and, they went to the place on a motorcycle.
The process of taking honey took quite a long time, and Aaron forbade it to approach, until women who liked various types of herbal plants were away, too, he went a little to the side of the big river that passed to avenge the forest area as a park for the animals.
However, he slipped and fell among the thickets and, apparently, there was a Laportea sinuata plant or poisonous leaves among the bushes, until it hit part of his face and neck.
The tree of hell leaves, as people used to call it, grows a lot in the forest and the trunk can be large and tall. The leaves are notoriously toxic and can be deadly, when in contact with the skin of mucosal areas (such as the bottom of the eyes, lips and nose) let alone not immediately be given help. The antidote to the poison is at the root, which is finely mashed and then applied to the affected skin.
The cause of the poison is the fine fur on the surface of the leaves, therefore, it should not be washed, because if exposed to water it will hit other skin surfaces.
Rully felt tremendous heat, soreness and itching on the skin of her face and neck as soon as she rose from the fall. He immediately looked towards the bushes to look for the cause of the heat he was suffering from. After learning that the one who touched it was the tea report leaf, he stopped scratching then, immediately looking for his father to borrow a machete.
However, her father was on a tree to pick up honey and of course her machete was still used, so Rully could not cope with the problem on her own. As a result, the poison from the leaves spread, his face heated up and because it was scratched, making his skin more red like snake scales.
Rully tore off her own clothes to close and reduce the influence of the wind so as not to get worse, besides, if anyone sees her it will not be disgusted.
He had not finished making the veil, when he heard the sound of a powerful explosion not far from his position. He looked for the source of the sound, and walked around the area, until he found a man with a black face full of graffiti, lying near the agarwood tree.
Moreover, a small plane that was charred on fire, about a hundred meters away from where the man was lying on the ground with his clothes torn here and there and was seriously injured.
Fortunately he always brought his own homemade minya vco until he stayed looking for some foliage such as wild paper batle, cilindrika imperata, anethum, graveolens, arithina variagate, etc, and some other plants that he encountered and could use as first aid medicine. All those ingredients he mashed smooth on a stone, mixed with oil and he applied on some wounds on the man's body.
“Oh! Breathe!” wuri said while checking the man's pulse was absent and his face was deathly pale. He pressed his field chest firmly with both palms several times, until he could breathe again.
After that, he ripped off the man's shirt to cut some wounds and made a raft of banana midribs to pull his body to the side of the road so that someone else would find him.
The man had the perfect body, the most powerful body he had ever seen while helping sinse treat his patients. Especially when stroking his sturdy jaw gently, to the extent that he wished he could see what his face looked like.
“What is this necklace?” he said again when the man had been helped by others, “Can we meet again? I'll give it back if it's his!”
Rully walked past a large tree, while wearing a silver necklace with a small harp fruit-shaped pendulum, which she found under a large tree. Not only the necklace, but he also saw a parachute attached to the legless chair, with some of the rope broken off.
During the rescue, Rully ignored only one injury to the man's knee, and she saw clearly blood flowing there, but, on purpose, she did not take any action, because he didn't bring scissors to tear and didn't dare to open his levis pants.
