With the reminder from the professionals, Luzi and Bai Qi suddenly realized why they felt a strange sensation when looking at the bandage on the wound outside. Initially, they had only considered this injury as a regular arrow wound, so they didn't think much about the blood-soaked bandage. Now, awakened from their daze, the truth began to emerge.
The situation in Shangdang was critical; what would happen if the Commander were to be in trouble? Luzi was clearly more anxious than the wounded one, grabbing Xiao Yu'er's arm and asking if there was any way to counteract this poison.
Seeing General Lu drenched in sweat, Bai Qi looked up at Xiao Yu'er, and they both burst into laughter. At that moment, realizing that the general was still oblivious to the situation and unable to laugh due to the pain from his wound, Bai Qi could only explain to the Surgeon, "General Lu need not worry; since the Surgeon is familiar with this poison, there must be a solution!"
Hearing this answer, Luzi finally exhaled and relaxed. On the other side of the river lay all of Great Qin's elite forces! A moment's negligence could lead to disastrous failure. Was it true that they hadn't checked the calendar before going out lately? Why did significant events always seem to bring about some kind of trouble?
"Jiang Medical Officer! You should hurry up and treat our Grand Commander; if this bleeding doesn't stop, even drinking water won't help!"
Upon hearing Luzi's somewhat impatient urging, Xiao Yu'er nodded seriously. Looking down at the sharp knife in her hand, she appeared a bit hesitant.
Bai Qi couldn't understand what this royal Surgeon was stalling for but soon figured it out. "Do you need to dig out all the flesh around the wound? Go ahead! As long as you don't kill me on the spot, feel free to dig wherever you like!"
Hearing those familiar words, Xiao Yu'er couldn't help but smile slightly. So this was the custom of the Qin Army! She remembered that Old General Wang He had said something similar back then!
Luzi intended to ask how much flesh needed to be removed but glanced at the swollen wound and held back his question. He grabbed the jar of liquor that Xiao Yu'er had brought in to wash his hands, preparing to assist the Surgeon.
The reason for Xiao Yu'er's earlier hesitation was that expanding the wound might prevent a general who was always ready for battle from facing his enemies effectively. However, such an injury could not be delayed for too long; if left unresolved, it could indeed drain all of his blood. To ensure that the patient understood how she would proceed with the treatment, she took time to provide careful guidance.
To be honest, Xiao Yu'er wasn't yet ready to conclude how much muscle needed to be removed from the patient's arm. This type of poison that prevented blood clotting was something she had only heard about and never encountered directly. Her judgment was based on inferring from the pathological response of the wound at that moment.
It is well known that human blood has coagulation properties; when encountering an injury, it can gather to block the wound. If the wound is too large, medications, bandages, or direct suturing methods must be employed to reduce its size and achieve hemostasis.
At this moment, Bai Qi's injury was not a penetrating arrow wound, so using medicine and bandaging to stop the bleeding was not an issue. However, the problem now lay precisely in this; the correct method of treating the wound was completely ineffective!
If it were an ordinary surgeon, they would use sutures as a solution, then apply gunpowder and bandage it, changing the dressing at regular intervals. If that were the case, it would delay the patient's optimal treatment period and lead to unforeseen complications.
Xiao Yu'er was not an ordinary surgeon; she was a master among masters. Just now, while Luzi and Bai Qi were talking, she repeatedly observed the wound before finally issuing a medical notice. After obtaining the patient's consent, she instructed Luzi to fetch a coarse cloth towel and hand it to Bai Qi.
Seeing that the Grand Commander did not intend to reach out for it, Xiao Yu'er straightforwardly told him that it was for biting down on; there was no need if it was just for wiping sweat.
Bai Qi still did not take it but indicated that they should just get started. If he grunted, he wouldn't be a hero!
Hearing someone boast, Xiao Yu'er turned to look at Luzi. "You all! Each one of you can endure more than the last! Is there any way to carve bones and cut flesh without pain!? Shouting out doesn't make you lose face; anyone who disagrees can try taking a cut!"
As the wound was enlarged, the earlier seepage of blood began to flow freely. The strict order prohibiting outside soldiers from entering the main tent could not be rescinded, and Luzi hurried to find a clay basin to catch the blood flowing down his fingers.
Bai Qi's expression was not good, yet he continued to chat and laugh with the two inside the room. He seemed completely unconcerned with the sound of dripping blood, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Seeing the basin already filled with red liquid, Luzi wondered why Xiao Yu'er did not use silver needles to seal the acupoints on the Grand Commander. How much blood could this person possibly have? If it kept flowing like this, he would surely bleed to death!
Xiao Yu'er told the two men that this condition required such treatment. The blood color might look normal, but in reality, it was not. If they did not understand, it was fine; they just needed to treat it as toxic blood.
Bai Qi, whose complexion had turned pale, instead advised Luzi not to be nervous; he had been prepared since the day he set out for battle. A man of martial valor in death had plans for everything; why worry about these minor injuries!?
Always ready!
Luzi deeply remembered these words after hearing them. No matter how long it took in the future, this phrase would be his motto! Seeing Bai Qi sitting there, his body starting to sway, he hurried over and held him tightly. Listening to the sound of blood dripping, it felt as if his own life was fading away drop by drop.
Time passed second by second, making it feel as though a thousand years had gone by. Bai Qi, leaning against Luzi's arm, began to lose consciousness, still mumbling about the past in a way that no one could understand. Perhaps there were memories of childhood, or perhaps reflections on the first time facing slaughter. He continued to speak...
Drenched in sweat, Xiao Yu'er frequently checked Wounded's blood, pinching a bit between his thumb and index finger to feel its consistency. Looking down at the blood in the basin, he couldn't help but frown. "General! Support him!"
Hearing this reminder, Luzi turned to look at the now silent Bai Qi. A wave of sadness washed over him as he held the trembling body tightly. "The Grand Commander has already fainted; do whatever you want!"
Focused intently, Xiao Yu'er looked up at Bai Qi's face and realized that Wounded had indeed fallen into a coma. He quickly reached out to press several acupoints on Bai Qi, noticing that Wounded's consciousness gradually returned. Unable to hold back his complaints, he said, "General Lu is still a martial artist; doesn't he know that if a patient falls into a coma, they might never wake up again?!"
Luzi didn't have time to explain that he hadn't expected things to become so serious. He nodded quickly, admitting his mistake and seriously stating that he would keep talking to the Grand Commander.
Once awake, Bai Qi turned to look at Luzi and then at Surgeon, mumbling as if explaining that this was not General Lu's fault.
Ignoring him, Xiao Yu'er carefully inserted a small knife into the wound and gently moved it around. Once he confirmed a certain position, he suddenly pulled it out. With his left hand catching a small round object, he finally exhaled and relaxed. After testing it again with his thumb and index finger, he smiled brightly at both generals.
