Chapter 279 Reborn
"You know he has harmed our brothers." Man Teng had to remind her.
"If someone attacks him, of course he will fight back. If I were you, I would fight back too. Besides, he never leaves the island and has never fought with us for anything." Mancao sighed.
An Yan walked forward, took the things from Man Cao's hand, and then said, "You two can go outside to talk."
Mancao didn't dare to disturb An Yan, so she immediately pulled Manteng's sleeve and walked out of the house, sitting with him at the stone table in the yard.
Man Teng said, "How did you get to know him?"
"The ugly doll when I was a child." Mancao mentioned this incident to him.
"Why is it him?" Man Teng frowned. They had played together when they were young, but then he disappeared and no one knew where he went. When they grew up, they only heard that there was a monster on the island. No one thought it would be him.
Mancao nodded slightly and said, "I've been thinking about him, so I dressed like this."
"You're such a fool! I thought it was for me, but it turned out to be for him. Hurry up and wash off the makeup on your face." Man Tengzhen was a little unconvinced.
Mancao is actually a pretty girl. When she was a child, she wanted to play with monsters, so she deliberately dressed up as an ugly girl. She didn't know how to dress up as an ugly girl, so she imitated her brother.
As time went by, she no longer wanted to change, and she was afraid that the monster would not recognize her when it came back.
"What on earth are they doing in the house?" Man Teng asked, then turned to Man Cao, "Didn't they go to the island to look for Ganoderma lucidum? Did they find any? Why are they treating him instead?"
"I don't know. An Yan hasn't said anything yet." Mancao didn't know the details either.
His brows furrowed, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He looked into the house from time to time, and even went to the window to look out.
One window was not closed tightly.
An Yan was treating the monster. She had already knocked him unconscious with anesthesia. Then she used a golden needle to poke a small hole in his fingertip and began to bleed him. The blood dripping into the bowl was black.
"Let me hold his hand." Li Rongsen said as he took the monster's hand.
An Yan took out the golden needles again and stabbed the monster's body one by one. Then she said to Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei, go bite him."
Xiao Hei obediently climbed onto the monster's body, opened his mouth, bit his thick skin hard, and lay there motionless.
At this time, Li Rongsen discovered that the blood on the monster's fingers began to turn red.
An Yan immediately touched Xiao Hei and said, "Xiao Hei, it's okay, get up."
Xiao Hei raised his head obediently, but he fell on the monster as if drunk and did not react at all.
"What happened to Xiao Hei?"
"It's okay, he's just tired. He just needs a rest." An Yan said as she carefully picked up Xiao Hei and put him into a small pocket on her bag, and then took out some fresh medicinal leaves and threw them in.
Li Rongsen asked: "Can it be healed now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the monster began to change. It was as if he was shedding his skin, and his skin began to dry up and peel off.
This made Man Teng, who was standing outside the window, feel very surprised, and he did not notice that Man Cao was also standing next to him and looking into the house.
Li Rongsen gently touched the outer layer of skin and asked, "What is this? Should I tear it open?"
"Tear it off now, it will be less painful." An Yan said.
Li Rongsen seemed to understand something and said, "It's a pity that Yan Qingqiu isn't here. He must have some painkillers."
"It's useless. This is a stage he has to go through. This kind of pain is inevitable and no medicine can help. This is his new life and a sign of his fresh start." An Yan told him.
"Well, it seems I have to endure this hardship." Li Rongsen sighed.
"That's it, but it's worth it. He'll be a new person from now on. It's just that..." An Yan said as she went to open the door. She said to Mancao, "He might not recognize you."
"As long as I can help him recover, I'll just forget about it," Mancao said with a smile. Although she felt a little reluctant to leave, having just had such a wonderful chat when they met after a long time, she couldn't help but feel sad that they were about to become strangers again.
Man Teng turned back to look at Man Cao and said to her, "You should go wash your face too. There's no need to act ugly anymore."
Mancao nodded, tears flashing in her eyes, and turned to go to the well.
An Yan returned to the bedside and began to help Li Rongsen tear off the useless skin. The real monster's new body was slowly revealed.
"He looks pretty good. Is this what he originally looked like?" Li Rongsen asked An Yan.
An Yan smiled and said, "Exactly. This is what he looks like. What we saw before was his appearance after he was poisoned by the Gu powder and became ill. He can be called a handsome man."
Li Rongsen nodded slightly and asked, "When will he wake up?"
"It won't take too long." An Yan looked at her watch and said, "A cup of tea, maybe fifteen minutes."
At this time, Mancao came in from outside. She had changed her previous attire and turned into a smart and beautiful girl. She really didn't look like her brother because she was really good-looking.
An Yan walked up to her and said, "It's really beautiful. This is the best way."
"I want to go see him." Mancao said as she walked closer to the couch. She lowered her eyes to look at the man lying on the couch, then turned to look at An Yan and said, "Why did he become like this?"
"Are you surprised that he is so handsome?" Li Rongsen asked her.
Mancao nodded heavily and said, "I really didn't expect this. What did you do to him to make him become like this?"
"That's his original appearance, not what we changed into." An Yan chuckled, and then said, "You stay here with him, we'll go out first." After that, she gestured to Li Rongsen to go with her.
Li Rongsen obeyed obediently, and when he saw Man Teng coming forward, he also looked curious and said, "I want to see what he has become." Then he went into the house.
An Yan sat down at the stone table in the yard, and Li Rongsen also sat beside her.
"It can be seen that Mancao actually likes him very much." An Yan said.
"It's just that one doesn't remember her anymore." Li Rongsen replied.
"Everything depends on human efforts." An Yan replied.
Li Rongsen took advantage of the situation and asked her, "Do you also believe that love is something that can be controlled by human beings?"
"That doesn't seem right." An Yan started to regret it again. After thinking for a while, she said, "But at least, they have hope."
"There should be hope. It is always difficult for people to forget the people they have always kept in their hearts. No matter how much time passes, there will still be an impression of them. It is unlikely that they will lose everything." Li Rongsen said this unintentionally.
But An Yan listened to it. She thought of Wen Jiaer and just wanted to heal his injury quickly, and then hoped that he could let go of his obsession.
People cannot always be trapped in the past, they must move forward, otherwise they will easily lose the good things and let the regrets grow bigger and bigger.
Inside the room, Mancao came out and said to Anyan, "He's awake, but he looks like he's in a lot of pain. He says his whole body hurts, like a bloody pain. Is there no way to cure it?"
When An Yan heard her say this, she stood up and strode into the house to see, while Li Rongsen followed behind her.
Man Teng stood aside, somewhat helpless, watching the monster rolling on the couch but unable to do anything. He had already gotten off the couch and stood up, his forehead covered in sweat, and he kept shouting, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts like I'm being torn apart, what should I do?"
