After his knees were slashed open, the blood accumulated inside instantly flowed out. The yellowish coagulated blood and pus looked horrifying.
Xia Muqing repeated the movement of extracting the pus with a solemn expression. The pus had already corroded the bones and muscles around his knees. The treatment of his injury had been delayed for too long.
After cleaning up the pus and blood, Xia Muqing looked up at the young manâs pale face and said, âIâm about to begin.â
At first, Jiang Yifan didnât understand. But after she cut off the rotten flesh, he couldnât help but groan, and cold sweat instantly covered his face.
He quickly took the blanket from the bed and bit it to prevent himself from making a sound.
He didnât want the people at the door to hear him.
The longer the surgery dragged on, the more painful it would be. Xia Muqing could only force herself to increase the speed of her movements, accurately removing the rotten muscles.
Jiang Hu, who was at the door, was already crying. He clenched his fists tightly.
He had witnessed his brotherâs pain all along, and he hoped that this time, it would really work.
After about four hours, Xia Muqing finally stopped.
The young manâs legs had already been wrapped up properly. After the blood clots were discharged, his calves seemed to be half its size.
Xia Muqing smiled and said, âDone.â
Jiang Yifan smiled weakly and fainted.
Xia Muqing caught him swiftly. Because the anesthetic couldnât be applied during this surgery, she had warned the young man not to faint during the surgery. Otherwise, the surgery would end.
It was already very impressive that he had endured until now.
She placed the young man on the bed. When Xia Muqing walked out, she saw Jiang Hu with reddened eyes, standing at the door like a statue.
He looked over nervously and asked, âHow is Yifan?â
His voice actually trembled a little.
Xia Muqing didnât keep them in suspense and nodded. âHeâs fine now. The treatment was very successful this time. His legs are healed.â
When Jiang Hu heard that, he walked out.
Xia Muqing was shocked. What happened?
After chasing after her, she saw Jiang Hu hugging and crying outside the courtyard. He had just come out because he didnât want to disturb the young man inside.
Of the two brothers, one wanted the blanket so that her brother wouldnât worry, and the other hid away to cry so that her brother wouldnât hear. Seriouslyâ¦
Xia Muqing also felt a little jealous. She had never experienced such feelings.
After Jiang Hu vented his emotions, he wiped his face and said in embarrassment, âSorry, Iâve embarrassed myself.â
Without waiting for Xia Muqing to speak, he continued, âYifanâs leg was injured by the Xiao family when they came to look for me. I went around looking for doctors behind his back. I know that those people deliberately said that his legs couldnât be cured, but I canât give up. No one in the Sunset Mountains can cure it, so I brought him out to be treated, butâ¦ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
His voice became choked with emotion.
âBut the Xiao family actually surrounded the exit and refused to let us out. As his elder brother, Iâm useless. I can only watch as his legs deteriorate day by day. His greatest wish was to travel the world, but I ruined it all.â
âIâve been wondering if he wouldnât be injured if I lay at the feet of the Xiao family like a dog.â
Xia Muqing didnât speak and listened quietly to Hu Daâs incoherent chatter.
After saying that, Hu Da felt much better. She didnât know if it was because he had vented all the pain in his heart or because he knew that his younger brother was saved.
A man and a woman approached from afar. They were walking quickly and there was obvious panic on their faces.
Jiang Hu stepped forward and shouted, âFather, Mother.â
Only then did Xia Muqing observe them carefully. The two of them didnât match at all. The woman had long hair that reached her waist. She had a gentle appearance and her thin figure emphasized her fragility.
