Chapter 359 I'm here, don't be afraid

When Su Wantang's fingers left Lu Jingyan's neck, there was a momentary pause at the tip of her finger.

She sensed it.

That pulse beat a little stronger than before.

That's not an illusion.

He was responding to her.

Bai Shu's eyes reddened for a moment, but she immediately suppressed all her emotions and turned to face the goatee.

"The injuries are too severe." Her voice was calm, revealing no emotion. "Internal organs ruptured, multiple infections; even half a day later, a miracle wouldn't have saved him."

The man with the goatee's expression changed.

"What do you mean?"

Bai Shu ignored him and said directly to the one-eyed dragon, "Put him down and prepare a quiet, clean room. Also, I need hot water and plenty of strong liquor."

One-Eyed Dragon glanced at Goatee.

The man with the goatee remained silent for a few seconds, then waved his hand.

"Do as she says."

Several burly men stepped forward and untied the ropes binding Lu Jingyan. His body went limp, like a lump of mud.

Bai Zhu gripped the handle of the medical kit tightly, her nails digging into her palm.

pain.

But she couldn't show any sign of anything amiss.

Lu Jingyan was carried to a slightly cleaner stone chamber next to him.

The room was small, with rough stone walls and cement flooring. In the corner was a wooden plank bed with a tattered military-style quilt draped over it.

One-Eyed Dragon placed Lu Jingyan on the bed and turned to leave.

Bai Shu called out to him.

"Where's the hot water?"

The one-eyed man frowned.

"Go burn it now."

"Strong liquor."

"It will be delivered right away."

“And another thing,” Bai Shu looked at him, “no one is allowed to approach this room.”

The one-eyed man was stunned for a moment.

"Why?"

Bai Zhu's voice was cold.

"Saving lives requires quiet. If you want him to die, then come in."

The one-eyed man gritted his teeth, turned around, and left.

Qin Zheng followed him in and placed the medical kit on the small table beside the bed.

Bai Zhu walked to the door and glanced outside.

The one-eyed man stood not far away, staring in their direction.

She closed the door.

Only the three of them remained in the room.

Su Wantang turned around and walked to the bedside.

Lu Jingyan lay there, covered in blood.

Her hand trembled slightly.

Qin Zheng stood behind her, lowering his voice.

"Young Miss".

Su Wantang took a deep breath.

"Stand guard the door. No one is allowed to come in."

Qin Zheng nodded and walked to the door to stand still.

Bai Zhu opened the medical kit.

In addition to the usual medical equipment, there were also many pills and powders in small porcelain bottles.

She took out a white jade bottle from the hidden compartment.

The bottle is very small, only about the size of a thumb.

It contains the spiritual spring water from within the space.

She unscrewed the bottle cap, poured a few drops into her palm, and then used her finger to gently apply them to Lu Jingyan's chapped lips.

The spring water is very cool.

Lu Jingyan's lips moved slightly.

Su Wantang's heart skipped a beat.

She poured a few more drops and slowly fed them into his mouth.

The spring water slid down his throat.

Lu Jingyan's Adam's apple bobbed.

He was swallowing.

Su Wantang's eyes reddened again.

She put away the white jade bottle and took out a scalpel and hemostats from the box.

Footsteps could be heard outside.

Qin Zheng opened the door and took the basin of hot water and a bottle of strong liquor handed to him by the one-eyed man.

"Is that enough?" the one-eyed man asked.

Qin Zheng glanced at Bai Shu.

Bai Shu nodded. "That's enough."

The one-eyed man turned and left.

Qin Zheng closed the door and placed hot water and strong liquor by the bedside.

Su Wantang rolled up her sleeves, washed her hands in hot water, and then disinfected them with strong liquor.

She picked up a scalpel and began cleaning the wound on Lu Jingyan's chest.

The knife wound was deep; the flesh was torn open, and the bone inside was visible.

Her hands were steady. She cleaned the wound while sprinkling medicine into it.

That was a hemostatic medicine she made herself.

The medicine powder was sprinkled on, and the bleeding stopped immediately.

She then took out silver needles and inserted them into several acupoints on Lu Jingyan's body.

After the needles were inserted into the acupoints, Lu Jingyan's complexion visibly improved a little.

Su Wantang withdrew the needle, picked up the hemostat, and began to suture the wound.

Stitch by stitch, the movements are slow but steady.

After stitching up her chest, she treated the gunshot wound on her left leg.

The bullet is still inside.

She used hemostats to reach into the wound, slowly clamped the bullet, and then pulled it out forcefully.

Blood gushed out.

Su Wantang immediately applied hemostatic medicine and then began suturing.

After all the external injuries were treated, her forehead was covered in sweat.

Qin Zheng handed him a towel.

After taking it and wiping her sweat, she sat on the edge of the bed and took a deep breath.

Then he reached out and took Lu Jingyan's hand.

She closed her eyes and began circulating the Taiyi Xuanjing.

The spiritual energy within her body began to flow, gradually entering Lu Jingyan's body through her palm.

The spiritual energy was gentle, like a warm current, slowly repairing his broken meridians and internal organs.

Su Wantang's face grew paler and paler.

Transferring spiritual energy is very mentally taxing.

But she dared not stop.

She was channeling her spiritual energy into Lu Jingyan while whispering in his ear.

"Jingyan, it's me."

"Wantang has arrived."

"Hang in there."

"I'll take you home."

Her voice was so soft that only two people could hear it.

Lu Jingyan's eyelashes trembled.

Su Wantang sensed it.

She squeezed his hand and continued speaking.

"You promised me."

You said you would come back.

You can't lie to me.

"If you dare to die, I'll come find you."

"Bring the children along too."

"A family of three, none of them can escape."

Her voice was a little hoarse.

Lu Jingyan's finger twitched.

It's so light, you can barely feel it.

But Su Wantang sensed it.

Tears streamed down her face.

She didn't wipe it.

Let the tears slide down her cheeks and drip onto the back of Lu Jingyan's hand.

Time passed second by second.

The spiritual energy has been transferred almost completely.

Su Wantang opened her eyes and withdrew her hand.

She stood up, walked to the table, and took out several small porcelain bottles from the medical kit.

She opened the bottle cap, poured out a few pills, crushed them into powder, and then mixed them with spiritual spring water to form a paste.

She carried the bowl back to the bedside, sat down, and fed Lu Jingyan little by little with a small spoon.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he slowly swallowed.

After administering the medicine, Bai Zhu put down the bowl.

She reached out and touched Lu Jingyan's forehead.

The body temperature is still very high.

She wrung out a towel and placed it on his forehead.

Then he checked his wounds again.

The wound has stopped bleeding.

The medicine powder is working.

Su Wantang breathed a sigh of relief.

She sat on the edge of the bed and held Lu Jingyan's hand.

My palms are very cold.

She warmed his hands with her own.

Qin Zheng walked over.

"Young Miss, are you alright?"

Su Wantang shook her head, "It's nothing."

She walked back to the bedside and sat down.

Lu Jingyan lay there, his breathing much more stable.

Bai Shu grasped his hand and lowered her head.

She was very tired.

She hasn't slept since yesterday.

She was pregnant, yet she still had to channel spiritual energy to save people.

Her body was about to give out.

But she can't sleep.

She wanted to stay by his side.

Su Wantang closed her eyes and leaned against the headboard.

She sat there, holding Lu Jingyan's hand.

Time passed little by little.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Suddenly I felt a tightness in my hand.

She suddenly opened her eyes.

Lu Jingyan's hand was gripping hers tightly.

Very hard.

It was as if they were afraid she would run away.

Bai Zhu was stunned.

She looked down at the hand.

His fingers were broken and mangled.

But it was this very hand that was gripping her tightly.

They refused to let go.

Bai Zhu's tears fell again.

She gripped his hand tightly, lowered her head, and buried her face in the back of his hand.

"Jingyan".

"I am here."

“I’ve always been here.”
