Chapter 161: Crisis
The doors and windows of the room were closed, a little stuffy, and the atmosphere in the room was a little breathless.
Gu Li's leg was fixed on the bed, and Tian Xian was using a knife sterilized by an alcohol lamp to cut off the necrotic tissue on Gu Li's leg, and dozens of silver needles were pierced in her leg, which played a role in stopping bleeding and relieving pain.
For surgery, Tian Xian also has a lot of experience, in fact, Tian Xian from the barefoot doctor who adopted him has learned a lot of real skills to cure diseases and save people, these medical skills do not have a clear distinction between Chinese medicine and Western medicine, Tian Xian grew up with the Yellow Emperor's internal scriptures on his back, but at the same time, he also remembered the pharmacopoeia of Western medicine, and he was also proficient in using a scalpel.
I have to say that as a black doctor who has not seen the light, sometimes the requirements for treatment methods are often much higher than those famous doctors, you must break the barriers of the Chinese and Western medicine system, and do your best to cure your patients, otherwise...... It's likely that some of the patient's relationships will kill you.
For some methods of mixed treatment of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, Tian Xian has long been experienced and has rich practical experience.
"I should have told you that you should lie down well, do you need me to give you an extra stitch now? β
Tian Xian was carefully doing the surgery, but his eyebrows suddenly wrinkled a little deeper, and his eyes were raised, facing Gu Li's eyes.
Gu Li's head was covered with cold sweat, although Tianxian had tried his best to relieve her pain, but according to the conditions here, he still couldn't completely relieve the pain of cutting the flesh with the blade.
She propped up half of her body, looked at the wound on her leg with an almost obsessive gaze, and watched Tianxian cut her flesh one by one.
"I ...... I want to see it with my own eyes!" Gu Li's voice trembled slightly. Cold sweat slid down his forehead as he spoke, "I can't...... Can't give myself completely to you...... You little ghost, just in case...... In case you fool me casually, stay ...... Scar words...... I............ I ......"
In the end, Gu Li only had the sound of inhaling cold air, cold sweat rolling down her head, and she was speechless.
Tian Xian really admires this woman Gu Li, even if she is strong, it is difficult to accept the scene of the knife slowly cutting off her own flesh, which is actually no different from the cruel punishment. Gu Tianxian knows. In a small country in Africa where there is a lot of fighting, there is a brutal head of state who often pushes the victim's eyelids open, then places a mirror on the opposite side, and then uses cruel corporal punishment on the prisoner. Often the prisoner is in the absence of death. I was mentally broken by the sight in the mirror.
No one likes to see their flesh and blood blurred. The sight of being fiddled with.
Guli persevered with an astonishing perseverance.
Tianxian sighed for her persistence, and at the same time knew what she wanted to express, "I know." Lie down, I'll do my best, even if your injuries heal later, I'll try not to leave any scars, are you satisfied?"
Gu Li's body trembled slightly, she had been holding on, watching her operation with her own eyes, the few words she said just now had almost exhausted all her spirit, and these few words of Tianxian almost immediately loosened her tense spirit.
As soon as her waist and limbs were weak, Gu Li supported her body, and slowly fell down, and as soon as her body lay down, she suddenly gasped for breath, and her whole body was sweating like pulp, "Can you ...... Can you ...... again? A little lighter, it hurts!"
"It's a lot of requirements...... Tian Xian muttered, "It's very simple to think that it doesn't hurt, I'll just knock you out, whoever makes you have to insist on being sober, not only will you suffer, but also bring me a lot of trouble." β
"I ...... I don't want to...... The unconscious ...... "Gu Li's painful body suddenly straightened, and the next words were cut off, and Tian Xian had already continued to use the knife.
"Okay, okay, I see! Now stay honest, don't move, don't speak, don't do anything to distract me, if I go on a business trip, then you're going to be out of luck." β
This sentence was very effective, Gu Li really stopped talking, even if she was trembling in pain, she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word.
Tian Xian glanced at her, looked at her who was biting her lip, and shook her head a little helplessly, what a stubborn woman! I don't know why she cares so much about her legs, saying that a woman's legs can hook a man, this is obviously nonsense.
The room was quiet, and there was only the sound of Gu Li's intermittent and shortness of breathing, and the slight sound of the impact of silver needles, knives and other therapeutic instruments in Tianxian's hands.
According to Gu Li's request, it took a whole morning to treat the wound on Gu Li's leg, of course, if you want to leave no scars, this kind of thing is almost impossible, Tian Xian tried his best to close the wound, and the stitches were quite careful, but if you want not to leave scars, then you have to rely on several ointments in the future.
As for the origin of this ointment, of course, Tianxian did not tell SΓΉ Guli, these ointments have not yet been invented, and they have to rely on themselves to explore and try.
Stitched up the wound, put on a bandage, clamped the board, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, you bastard woman, you almost exhausted me to death, if it were according to the previous rules, you would have to pay a large amount of honorarium this time, but this time, ...... Huh?"
Tianxian found that Gu Li had no movement.
She lay there quietly, her chest undulating evenly, her breathing evenly, the morning of surgery, acupuncture, misalignment and other treatments had almost exhausted all her spirit, and now she was tired and asleep.
Tian Xianxiao let out a sigh, cleaned up the mess around her, extinguished the alcohol stove, saw that Gu Li was sleeping very deeply, and didn't want to disturb her, other things, wait until she has the spirit.
Packed up his things, covered Gu Li with a blanket, and was about to exit the room, when he suddenly opened his eyes.
In the midst of the exclamation, Gu Li sat up, her face pale.
Tianxian was startled, looked at Gu Li, who looked nervous and even a little frightened, and asked in amazement, "What's wrong with you?"
"Enemy!" Gu Li's face changed completely, and the word squeezed out between her teeth.
"Enemy?" said Tian Xian, "what enemy? There are no enemies here! Hey, you're crazy! Lie down for me!"
Gu Li didn't care about the weather to stop it. Struggling to roll off the bed, he quickly touched the wall, leaned his back against the wall under the window, and said very nervously: "Be careful, look out the window!"
Seeing Gu Li like this, Tian Xian couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
Because of the treatment just now, the doors and windows of the room were closed, Tian Xian came to the window carefully, looked out slightly sideways, and suddenly a strange feeling rose in his heart.
It's quiet outside.
It's noon. This area is full of small residential buildings, although not many people live there. But there are always some, and there are more people at this time, but there is not even a ghost shadow in the alley outside.
Only then did Tianxian realize that the surroundings were very quiet. And...... Some are too quiet.
Retract your gaze. Tianxian is already full of solemnity. "What's going on? Do you know someone's coming?"
Gu Li leaned against the wall, a rather deep smile on her face, "It's the smell of danger." My little brother, you've died a few times, so you'll naturally be able to smell this smell before danger comes, and it seems that your good luck is over here, and you should ...... It's the guys who came for me!"
"Bang bang bang!!"
There was a quick knock at the door, and Tu Ge's heavy voice sounded behind the door, "It seems that there are guests outside!"
"Hey...... Beasts also have the benefits of beasts, and the alertness is really high enough!" Gu Li took a heavy breath and said with a smile, "I wanted to stay for three days and leave, and when the Moon of Remnant Blood passes, maybe I still have hope, but it looks ...... The other party doesn't want to give me a chance!"
"Bang bang bang!" The knock on the door continued, and Tu Ge shouted, "Do you hear me? β
Tianxian responded: "Got it, calm down, don't act yet!
Tu Ge seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then hurried away with footsteps, heading downstairs.
Gu Li shook her head with a wry smile, "It's really unlucky, I didn't expect to arrive in Yacheng, and in the end I still couldn't escape this catastrophe, forget it...... If the other side attacks, I'll go out and let them kidnap me. β
Saying that, Gu Li looked at Tianxian apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't plan to bother you, I just ......"
Retracting her gaze, Gu Li smiled self-deprecatingly, "I was swept out of the Holy Spirit Temple, although you have nothing to do with me, but ...... You are the only acquaintance I can think of, and it's funny to say, and when I saw you, I was relieved and had a feeling that I could finally be saved. β
Patting her face, Gu Li made herself look a little more energetic, "That box of source crystals has not been opened yet, you can completely say that you don't know about this matter, it's just that I came to you for help, you remembered the old love and treated my wounds, you don't seem to have come to answer me at all, they must be able to see this, this matter has nothing to do with you." β
Tian Xian didn't talk, just carefully observed the situation outside.
Gu Li sat there, seeing that the sky was silent, and suddenly her face showed a little loneliness, "Little ghost, do you believe in fate?"
Tianxian finally looked at Gu Li and frowned, "I'm not a little ghost!"
Gu Li shrugged her shoulders, "Okay, little brother Tianxian, do you believe in fate?"
"I don't believe it!" Tianxian's eyes flashed, "Fate is such a thing, once you believe it, you will never be able to escape from its palm." β
Gu Li was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing, "It's really surprising that you can say such a thing at such a young age, but...... But I believe it!"
Gu Li's eyes were a little confused, "I have been working for the Holy Spirit Temple since I was sensible, and I was regarded as the reserve talent training of the West Temple, and after a lot of difficulties, I finally became the torture envoy of the West Temple, I am very proud, I feel that I have a qiΔ, and when I feel that I am the most invincible, you have smashed all my hopes and longings in the silent forest!"
Tian Xian took a light breath, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that would happen, ...... at the time"
"I know......" Gu Li didn't seem to care, "We duel, you couldn't lose at that time, I don't blame you, I just sighed, I am so proud of my identity, such an invincible capital, in fact, it only needs a word from others to disappear, this is simply ridiculous, I spent my life in exchange, only in an instant all of it was gone, as if a qiΔ was not broken at all, it was originally just a phantom." β
"And now......" Gu Li looked at Tian Xian with a sigh of emotion, "I got the news." I heard that you came to the Thunder Ancient City, I didn't even think about it, I immediately came to you, it seems that I know that I can get help here, I am indeed exhausted, but...... If it weren't for that, maybe I'd fight and just run out of the city, maybe I'd be hiding somewhere safe by now. β
"You say...... I lost a qiΔ because of you, finally. They may be in a desperate situation because they want your help. You said...... Doesn't that smack of being played by fate?"
Tianxian didn't seem to think about it at all, and his eyes were still looking out the window.
"Did they see your face?" asked Tian Xian suddenly.
Guli smiled and shook her head, "Of course not, if I'm exposed to their vision." In my ability. At that distance, they had long been caught. β
Recall what Dolma had just said about the presence of invaders in the inner city. Tianxian nodded and said, "In other words, now they don't know who stole the source crystal, and they may not even know if you are a man or a woman!"
"Hmm. Almost!"
Tian Xian touched his chin and narrowed his eyes, "Then if it's coming to you, it means that they found other traces here, huh...... It can only be those source crystals! Could those stones have any strange energy fluctuations?"
"Naturally, there is, but very weakly. Gu Li nodded, "But it's too late to say this now, it seems that they have already set up a defensive net, and those source crystals have become evidence of the crime, and there is no way to hide it!"
"Very faintly...... "If that's the case, and it's this time, that is, it should be - Dolma!"
Tianxian's eyes flashed, "What did Zhuoma find! I'm still strange, she didn't use today's good time, she had to take me to familiarize herself with this place tomorrow, it turned out that she went back to report the situation." β
Guli didn't seem to care much about these details anymore, she leaned against the wall, her eyes calm, as if she had accepted her impending fate.
"Hey, little ghost...... If I die, will you remember me?" asked Guli suddenly.
"I'm not a ghost!" Tian Xian snorted unhappily.
"I'm dying, you can be accommodating...... Gu Li was a little helpless, "Those old guys won't let me go, it's really pitiful to say, I don't have any friends, I originally had a good relationship with Zhuoya, but it's a pity that ...... Now that we've become mortal enemies, if I die, I wonder if she'll miss me......"
Tian Xian's eyes suddenly shrank when he looked out the window, and two figures turned out of an alley not far away, one of them was a middle-aged man who Tian Xian had never seen, this man had a very upright face, plain dress, and very small eyes, even if he was far away, he could still see a smile on his face.
It's just that Tianxian doesn't know if it's his own delusion, the man's gaze seems to glance this way, which is the window where he is.
As for the other person, Tian Xian took a slight breath, this person ...... Sure enough, it was Dolma who had just left in the morning!
Leaving the window, Tianxian quickly walked towards the door.
"Kid, can you stay with me a little longer......? Are you going to come in?" Gu Li suddenly spoke, and there was a little pleading in her words, "Although I have fallen to this point today and you are inseparable, I will not affect you, it is not your fault, and you heal me, which makes me believe that you don't want me to become what I am now, a qiΔ...... It's just fate. β
Tianxian turned around, "I said that I don't believe in fate, if I have to say it, I also feel that fate seems to be something that I have to grasp in my hands and control by myself." β
Gu Li seemed to be about to say something, but Tian Xian preemptively said: "The people outside are indeed coming in, but you stay here, don't move, I'll take care of this matter, and if you can't die this time, don't call me a little ghost again!"
Gu Li laughed, shook her head and sighed: "I didn't expect you to protect me in the end, it's so good......"
Snorting, Gu Li laughed again, "Before I died, there were still people who cared, and I didn't feel lonely after all, but ...... Forget it!"
Gu Liqiang propped up his body and limped over, "Little ghost, this matter is not something you can carry, once you start protecting me in front of them, then you may not be able to get out." β
Coming to Tianxian, Gu Li reached out and rubbed Tianxian's head, "Little ghost, thank you!", said, and walked out the door.
Tianxian raised his eyebrows, shook his head with Gu Li's hand with great dissatisfaction, and when Gu Li opened the door and walked out, he made two movements neatly.
He opened Guli's hand and shot a silver needle into her back at the same time.
Gu Li trembled, her body suddenly froze there, she turned her head hard, and looked at Tianxian in dismay, "You ......"
After only saying one word, Gu Li's body fell crookedly and was hugged by Tian Xian.
Pouting his lips, Tian Xian looked at Gu Li who was staring wide-eyed and said: "I said don't call me a little ghost, I stabbed your acupoint, you can't move in a short time, lie down here for me obediently, those two guys outside, I naturally have a way to send them." β
Some angrily threw Gu Li on the bed, clapped his hands, and left the room.
Outside the room, the moment the door was closed, the ease on Tianxian's face faded cleanly, and was replaced by a dignified color.
This decision may be completely wrong! If you are unlucky, you will ...... in the future Maybe there's nothing to go on.
Tianxian understands that he and Gu Li don't have any friendship, but ...... Just handed over people in front of her eyes, and shirked everything cleanly, as if she didn't know her at all, and let her die or live......
Tianxian knew that he might be able to do this, and this was the most correct way now.
But...... Tian Xian clenched his fists fiercely, this kind of thing...... But I can't do it myself!(To be continued......
