Chapter 317: Be patient, it will be fine soon
Rong Qingzhu replied again, "Leave Qibai to me. Isn't the battle still going on at the South Gate? They must be short of manpower. You go first. I can take good care of them."
"Cease-fire." Tang Yuhuai was worried about Qi Bai's current condition. He had just witnessed Shi Zheng's death because of him. He was worried that Qi Bai would be unable to get over it and take all the responsibility on himself.
So changing the medicine was just an excuse. He needed a quiet place, a reason not to be rejected by Qi Bai, and to have a good talk with him again.
"Besides, General Han and his men are commanding the battle at the South Gate, so they don't need me."
Chu Xi, "......"
Hearing them talking back and forth like this, she almost thought she was seriously injured and needed to lie in bed to recuperate.
Although...she was indeed seriously injured, how many wounded soldiers dared to lie down and rest in the inn?
Chu Xi pulled his hands away from them and said helplessly, "...No, I can do it myself."
Even if the two of them didn't quarrel, she wouldn't let anyone else apply medicine to her.
"Can you do it?" Rong Qingzhu looked hesitant, as if worried that it would be inconvenient for Chu Xi to apply medicine to the other arm with one hand. "There are some places where you can't wrap the gauze well."
Tang Yuhuai was worried about Qi Bai's injury, and also worried about the impact of Shi Zheng's death on him. "Yes, how can you be alone? Let me help you."
Chu Er arrived just in time. Chu Xi couldn't find an excuse to get away, so Chu Er came and bowed respectfully, "Master."
"Master Rong, Master Tang."
Chu Xi was worried that he couldn't find a suitable reason to convince both of them, but when Chu Er came, all the problems disappeared.
She said decisively, "Chu Er, change the medicine for me, you all go and get busy."
Tang Yuhuai, Rong Qingzhu, "..." Okay, they don't need to argue anymore.
The two of them looked at Chu Er who was coming from behind at the same time, and had a common thought in their minds - come from behind and win. They had experienced the meaning of these four words firsthand!
Chu Er always regarded Chu Xi's words as an imperial decree and never questioned them.
With Chu Xi's words, Tang Yuhuai and Rong Qingzhu had no choice but to give up.
Rong Qingzhu threw the bloody cloth in his hand together with the previous ones. There was a stove in a large open space behind the inn. It was filled with bloody cloths that were being burned to ashes.
He threw the things and wanted to catch up with the direction Chu Er and Chu Xi left.
Chu Er, however, noticed Rong Qingzhu's intention first, and without saying a word, he raised his hand to stop Rong Qingzhu from chasing after him, "Master Rong."
Rong Qingzhu was suddenly blocked by Chu Er, and subconsciously looked at the young man who turned around, with a sincere look in his eyes.
"I just wanted to see if there's anything I can do to help?" he said seriously.
"Chu Er is here, he will see to it." Chu Xi hesitated for a moment, but still firmly refused.
Because she had gone with Tang Yuhuai to fight against the long snake formation before, the movement of galloping on horseback was too violent, causing the wound on the side of her waist to bleed again.
The wound was left four or five days ago. It was sutured with a needle and the dressing was changed every day. However, the fighting at the city gate continued, so her wound could not heal completely.
It always heals and tears again, requiring constant dressing changes and gauze wrapping.
Due to the special location, we had to take off all our clothes.
If Rong Qingzhu really went in with her, then what difference would it make from telling her frankly?
She couldn't reveal the secret of her original body, and the plot went on until the original owner died without anyone noticing anything was wrong.
Things have come to this point, Chu Xi naturally doesn't want others to notice anything unusual.
Even if this person is Rong Qingzhu, with his gentlemanly character, he might not tell others if he knew it, but Chu Xi was unwilling to take the risk after all.
Rong Qingzhu pursed her lips.
He still couldn't forget Qi Bai's reaction when he entered the inn just now.
His intuition made him not want to leave. He wanted to stay with Qi Bai and find out the reason?
Something must have happened to him, which was why he was so abnormal...
He could see that Qi Bai didn't want to talk more, so Rong Qingzhu didn't insist on getting to the bottom of it, he just wanted to accompany him.
The light brown pupils deep in Chu Xi's eyes reflected Rong Qingzhu's gentle and handsome face, and the sincere concern and worry in his eyes.
She never doubted that Rong Qingzhu's concern was fake, but such concern was too heavy for her.
She smiled and shook her head, "No need to do that. Tang Yuhuai is also injured, and the wound on his hand has not been treated yet. I have Chu Er here, so I really don't need your help."
Rong Qingzhu had to stop after Qi Bai repeatedly refused.
Qi Bai had already made his words so clearly, so even if he was still worried, it would be difficult for him to follow.
Ignoring the wishes of others and pursuing one's own selfishness, even if it is out of genuine concern...
With Rong Qingzhu's cultivation, it was not something he could do to go against the gentlemanly etiquette he had learned for many years. Therefore, he stood where he was and watched Qi Bai and Chu Er go upstairs.
Chu Er was still standing outside the door, and Chu Xi went into the room to change the medicine.
Rong Qingzhu turned around and went back to find Tang Yuhuai, wanting to ask him what had happened.
I saw that there was no one where Tang Yuhuai had been standing before.
Rong Qingzhu asked other people, but most of the people in the lobby were defenders of Xi'an city. They didn't know Tang Yuhuai, so it was useless for Rong Qingzhu to ask them.
As for Tang Yuhuai, he had already entered the room and asked the military doctor to clean his wounds and change the dressings.
The wound was in a special location, on the inside of the right arm, with an oblique cut from top to bottom. The wound was bleeding profusely, soaking the arm armor.
The wound was deep and needed to be sutured with needles, but there was not enough anesthetic. As the number of wounded increased, various injuries were sent for suture, so the military doctors had a special discussion in order to save anesthetic.
Unless the wound is extremely deep or difficult to suture, it is generally best not to use anesthesia.
Therefore, the military doctor took into account Tang Yuhuai's special status and worried that he would be dissatisfied, so he specifically asked Tang Yuhuai about his wishes and asked him whether he needed anesthesia.
Tang Yuhuai didn't use anesthetics after hearing this. His black and white eyes pointed directly at the military doctor and said, "Come on."
He wouldn't have used it to this extent. Even such a small wound required anesthetic. What about those seriously injured soldiers whose wounds were deeper and the bones could be seen?
When the military doctor heard that Tang Yuhuai said he didn't need anesthesia, he didn't give him any. Instead, he disinfected the silver needle and started to suture him.
Tang Yuhuai clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and turned his head to look elsewhere. The pain in his arms made his forehead sweat profusely and his face turned pale instantly, as if he had lost too much blood.
"General Tang, please be patient, you will be fine soon." Seeing Tang Yuhuai's face turn pale, the military doctor subconsciously comforted him.
Tang Yuhuai bit his cheek, endured the pain, and asked, "Where is my second uncle?"
The military doctor who sutured Tang Yuhuai's wound happened to be the one who had previously pulled out the arrow for Tang Juncheng. Naturally, he knew who the second uncle Tang Yuhuai was talking about.
He said without hesitation, "He has been taken to the next room and is still sleeping."
