Chapter 138 What is Three Knives and Six Holes
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "Do you doubt me?"
Ling Yun smiled awkwardly, "No, I'm just worried that if the medicine is insufficient, Big Brother will suffer."
Ling Cang smiled and said, "It's just that it will take time to get better. As long as it gets better, it doesn't matter if it goes slowly."
Su Nuan glared at Ling Yun, "Look, your brother didn't say anything, why are you so nosy?"
Ling Yun was speechless and secretly glanced at Su Nuan several times. It seemed that his sister-in-law didn't like him.
Su Nuan said, "Some medicinal herbs are easier to find after the snow melts, so there's no need to rush."
Ling Yun no longer thinks about the medicinal herbs. His mind is full of worries. It seems that his sister-in-law hates him.
Xiaotian said, "Brother, what should I pay attention to after the bone setting? I can keep watch at night."
Su Nuan said, "I'm afraid of fever after bone setting. If it's a high fever, it's difficult to deal with. If it's not a high fever, it's fine."
Xiaotian nodded, "Okay, I understand."
The four of them discussed the details and ate their meal a little slowly.
Mrs. Xue and the old lady didn't dare to interrupt and just accompanied him silently.
At night, Su Nuan took out the night pearl to illuminate the house.
She took out a basin of river water and said, "Wipe him clean with this."
Ling Yun took over and wiped Ling Cang's body.
Ling Cang's face flushed red. After all, he was only wearing very short pants with his thighs exposed.
Su Nuan saw Ling Cang's face was very red, and touched his forehead in confusion, "Why are you so hot before we even start? This is not a good sign."
"If you catch a cold, then this thing will have to be postponed."
Ling Cang shook his head repeatedly, "No, no...it's okay."
Xiaotian laughed and said, "You are husband and wife, are you shy about taking off clothes?"
Su Nuan was stunned. Yes, although she and he were husband and wife, they had never been intimate with each other.
At this moment, Su Nuan's face showed not shyness, but disgust, "What is there for a grown man to be ashamed of? In my eyes, you are just like a pig without hair."
Lingyun and Xiaotian laughed stiflingly upon hearing this.
Ling Cang's face turned from red to white, and he simply closed his eyes and emptied his mind.
Su Nuan used silver needles to prick the acupoints, which greatly reduced the pain.
She looked at Ling Yun seriously and said, "You can feel the edges and corners of the bones. Use your internal energy to pinch open the wound to heal it."
Ling Yun also put away his smile and nodded seriously, "Yes!"
Ling Cang is worthy of being a great general. He didn't say a word even when his bones were broken again.
Although the pain was greatly alleviated with Su Nuan's help, it was still not something that most people could bear.
Su Nuan couldn't help but admire Ling Cang from the bottom of her heart. Not only did he remain silent, he also didn't move at all. Not everyone can remain so quiet.
By the time all the bones were broken, beads of sweat had already appeared on Ling Yun's forehead.
Su Nuan pinched the bones with her hands to align them, and used a sterilized silver needle to test to see if there were any small broken bones.
Fortunately, Ling Cang's leg bones were not broken into small pieces, and there was no debris.
When she had connected all the bones, she applied the prepared ointment directly to them and then fixed his legs with a wooden board.
"Okay, now just wait, don't move."
Ling Cang suddenly asked: "What should I do if I need to go to the toilet?"
Su Nuan took out a urinal that she had gotten from somewhere and said, "Here, it's ready."
Ling Cang, “…” What a shameful feeling.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Don't be shy. You have to lie down for a month. After a month, you can get up on your own, but you still can't use force on your legs."
"After three months, you can use crutches to help you and slowly exercise in the yard."
"In three months, you can put down your crutches and walk freely, but you can't walk far."
Ling Cang was very excited, and although he was anxious, he did not dare to act rashly.
Su Nuan stretched her muscles and said, "You guys can do whatever you want. I'm going to sleep."
"By the way, if the fever burns your hands, drink half of this water."
Ling Yun took the bamboo tube handed to him by Su Nuan and said, "Sister-in-law, go and have a rest."
Su Nuan got up and left the house. She washed herself before going back to sleep.
Ling Yun said to Ling Cang: "Brother, I will use my internal energy to help you recover from your injuries."
Ling Cang refused, "No need, you still have to go through the levels, don't waste your internal energy."
Ling Yun frowned, feeling powerless. He had to work hard to become a useful person so that Su Nuan could rely on him.
Xiaotian said: "Let me do it, I have nothing to do now."
Ling Cang shook his head in refusal, "No need, you still need to help cut down the trees, I'll take care of them here slowly, don't worry I won't do anything rash."
"In fact, being able to live until now is already a luxury. Now that I have the opportunity to recover as before, how could I mess around and ruin all my previous efforts?"
This was convincing enough, Ling Yun nodded, "Okay."
Xiaotian didn't say anything else. All he was thinking about now was that Ling Yun was gone. He was the only thug in this family, and he had to protect Su Nuan and the others.
Ling Yun left on the eighteenth day, and was replaced by a person who looked exactly like Ling Yun.
But Su Nuan could tell at a glance that this person was a woman. Perhaps men were taller than Ling Yun, who was still growing, so she could only find a woman with a similar body shape.
Su Nuan moved closer to the fake Ling Yun and stared at her for a long time. "You made a good mask."
The fake Ling Yun was a little embarrassed, "Thank you for the compliment."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Okay, from now on you will be Xiao Lingyun. You don't have to chop trees anymore. Just chop firewood at home."
After a pause, she asked again: "Can you chop it?"
Xiao Lingyun nodded, "I can, I'm ranked eighth among the top ten guards, I'm not weak."
Su Nuan raised an eyebrow, "Are the ten guards here?"
Xiao Lingyun shook his head, "No, there are only me and two others. The rest of us stayed in the capital to gather information."
Su Nuan didn't ask any further questions. "That's decided."
Little Lingyun said shyly, "The master asked me to serve the eldest master."
Su Nuan raised an eyebrow, "Serve him?"
What does Ling Yun mean by this? Finding a woman to serve her man, is this blatantly inserting a concubine into Big Brother's room?
Seeing Su Nuan's expression change, Xiao Lingyun quickly said, "It's not about serving him, but helping him turn over and walk. I can't tire you out."
Su Nuan suddenly realized that she was overthinking it. She smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll call you when I need you."
Xiao Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Nuan didn't have any bad thoughts.
She reassured Su Nuan, "We are guards. If we covet the master, we will be punished. The worst that can happen is three cuts and six holes."
Su Nuan asked in confusion: "What is Three Knives and Six Holes?"
Xiao Lingyun raised his leg and patted his thigh. "Stab three times, and pierce through with every strike."
"But where to stab the victim depends on whether the executioner wants the victim to die."
Su Nuan understood, touched her chin and said, "I don't understand your business, nor do I want to understand it. Anyway, just don't interfere with me when I do things."
Xiao Lingyun nodded repeatedly, "I know, the master has instructed me."
Su Nuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Your master? What exactly is Ling Yun's identity? I remember that he wasn't given the title of general, but everyone just called him general out of habit."
