Chapter 348 I can't hold on any longer
Lu Qingqing turned around and saw Mo Lang's still grim expression.
Those eyes were like those of the assassins from before.
It was deathly dark, with no bottom in sight.
However, upon seeing her face, his emotions began to fluctuate, as if cracks were appearing in the ice.
Beneath their feet, a killer, shot in the heart, chuckled hoarsely.
"Yes, that's it, kill her, kill him... No, why didn't you fight back..."
The man stared at Lu Qingqing, his eyes wide open, before he breathed his last.
A sudden gust of wind swept in from behind, and a foot kicked Mo Lang away.
"Mo Lang! You deserve to die!"
Lu Qingqing never knew that Ji Ruyan's voice could be so unpleasant, like tearing silk, like thunder crashing in her ears.
"I kill you!"
Lu Qingqing grabbed Ji Ruyan's hand holding the sword: "No..."
Mo Lang stared at the blood-dripping knife in his hand, the cracks in his eyes widening, revealing a blankness and bewilderment.
"Qingqing! Qingqing!"
Ji Ruyan covered the bloody hole that had pierced Lu Qingqing's abdomen, her body trembling like a sieve.
"Take your medicine, the Resurrection Pill. I'll take you to see a doctor. Who can save you? Old Pang, Sixi, they're not here. Who else... who else... Qingqing..."
"Don't panic, don't panic... Tie my wound tight." Lu Qingqing took a handful of medicine, feeling dizzy from the pain.
Old Pang, Sixi, and all the people who can suture are in Ming'an County; there's no time to save them.
However, there must be doctors in the prefecture who know how to suture.
Even if not, she could instruct Ji Ruyan to sew it up.
But it hurts so much.
It hurts!
"Don't be afraid, I don't want to die, so the King of Hell won't dare to take me." Lu Qingqing's lips trembled as she tried to comfort Ji Ruyan.
He nodded hurriedly, but his hands trembled as he bandaged the wound.
Mo Lang's eyes began to show an unusual black again, and there seemed to be something surging in the blood vessels in his neck.
His expression began to show struggle; he seemed to realize that he was about to lose control.
He resolutely pointed the knife at his heart.
"Mo Lang, stop!" Lu Qingqing vaguely saw Mo Lang's actions.
He lunged forward and grabbed the knife.
Blood flowed down the blade.
"Why did you save him again!" Ji Ruyan screamed, gripping Mo Lang's wrist tightly and forcing him to let go.
Seeing Lu Qingqing's hands covered in blood and her blood-stained abdomen, he lost control of his emotions.
"He deserves to die! He deserves to die! He came from the Dark Guard Camp and received special training to avoid poison and curses! He deserves to die!"
"He shouldn't have died! Ji Ruyan, don't be so condescending. He saved your life too. No one is born to sacrifice everything for someone else!"
Lu Qingqing fed Mo Lang, who was still struggling in pain, a poison pill.
Earlier, Mo Lang had told her that someone in the Holy Physician Sect used Gu poison, so she consulted with Lao Pang and other doctors about it.
Gu poison isn't actually that scary. First of all, gu worms don't like to get close to doctors like her who are covered in the smell of medicine.
Then, even if she were truly afflicted by the curse, she found a way to resolve it.
Since Lu Qingqing doesn't have the strength to remove the Gu from Mo Lang, she'll suppress it with poison for now, temporarily rendering both the Gu and its host unconscious.
“I am not superior... If even the closest people can betray me, I thought he would too... Even if I killed you, I wouldn't forgive myself…”
The sound was broken, mixed with sobs.
He had his head down, and water was dripping onto the ground.
He tore her undergarment to shreds with both hands and wrapped the strips of cloth around her abdomen.
"Please don't let anything happen to you, Lu Qingqing..."
"Nothing will happen, nothing will happen, Ji Ruyan, I promise you I won't die..." Lu Qingqing's eyes welled up with tears.
Through her tears, she saw brothers leading the midwife Hong out of the nunnery.
They even carried the pregnant woman on a door panel!
Oh, right, Midwife Hong!
She has experience with cesarean sections. I just watched her suture her abdomen in its entirety. She also explained that her previous failure was due to an infection caused by incorrect suture layers.
"Quickly, take Midwife Hong with you, find a clinic or inn. My surgical kit is under the bed at the inn. Perform surgery and stitch me up immediately!"
Ji Ruyan was startled and quickly and carefully picked up Lu Qingqing.
“Master, Master—” When Hong the midwife saw Lu Qingqing, she rushed over.
"I finished sewing up that pregnant woman, just like you said! She's still alive, Master... what's wrong with you?"
She had initially thought the handsome young man was carrying her out of concern for his master, but she hadn't expected him to be seriously injured!
Ji Ruyan: "Quickly find a clinic and stitch up your master's wound!"
Inside the largest medical clinic in the prefectural city.
He gave orders for everything that was needed.
To avoid any accidents, Lu Qingqing couldn't drink too much anesthetic; she needed to remain conscious.
She only drank a little, enduring the pain.
He forced his eyes open, his face deathly pale.
He explained each step in an orderly manner.
Fortunately, her surgical kit was fully equipped. Prefect He had sent men to the inn to assassinate her, and the surgical kit had not been discovered under the bed.
"Don't panic, don't panic, if your hand is steady, you're halfway there."
Lu Qingqing had said this countless times.
Later, the midwife, who had initially been flustered and kept asking questions, stopped asking them.
Ji Ruyan knelt at the head of the bed, holding Lu Qingqing's hand, without saying a word.
He kept Lu Qingqing's words firmly in mind, keeping a close eye on the midwife's movements, and dared not relax.
As the knife cut into her flesh, Lu Qingqing bit down on the wooden stick, and the blue veins on her forehead bulged out.
Her fingernails dug deeply into the back of the man's hand.
"Master, there's so much blood."
Lu Qingqing spat out the wooden stick, which was also covered in blood.
"The second layer of the box contains a suction device, sterilized with hot water, to draw out the blood and locate the bleeding point."
"We've found the bleeding point."
However, the midwife Hong did not know what organ it was.
"There's a mercury mirror on the third floor; show it to me."
Ji Ruyan bent down, took out the mirror with her other hand, held it above the wound, and adjusted the angle.
After examining the area, Lu Qingqing circled her finger around the precise location: "The pancreas is ruptured. Remove this piece, suture it to stop the bleeding..."
...
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Qingqing had fallen into a semi-conscious state. She only felt that the wooden stick in her mouth was no longer so hard and painful.
It's been a long time since I've heard anyone asking about it.
She couldn't hold on any longer either.
Someone whispered in her ear, "You promised me... just a little sleep, okay..."
It looks like...it's raining.
She finally let go.
It was completely plunged into darkness.
