Chapter 134: The Hunting Contest (4) Ye Qichi Saves Bai Mowan_4
Including surgical knives, pincers, silver needles, etc.
Before the surgery, she tore a piece of cloth from her own body and put it in Bai Mowan's mouth to bite on.
Fearing that Bai Mowan might wake up during the surgery and accidentally bite her tongue due to the pain.
Getting ready.
Ye Qichi began to remove the arrow from Bai Mowan.
She used a knife to cut open her already necrotic flesh.
Bai Mowan seemed to feel the pain, her body slightly twitched.
Ye Qichi pondered.
She needs to quickly prepare the anesthetic, as injuries in ancient times are indeed very common.
And the kind that can be fatal.
She quickly cleaned the rotten flesh on Bai Mowan's arm and then wrapped the remaining end of the arrow shaft with a wooden stick, and pulled with force.
The arrow was directly pulled out.
At the moment it was pulled out, blood was pouring out.
Ye Qichi quickly covered it with her hand to help her stop the bleeding quickly.
Bai Mowan also woke up from the pain.
At that moment, she was in so much pain that her entire body was trembling.
Her face was also covered in cold sweat nonstop.
At that moment, she clearly saw Ye Qichi treating her.
The second before she fell unconscious, she even thought she had died again.
She even wondered if she could be as lucky as last time and have another rebirth.
But unexpectedly.
She was still alive.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Ye Qichi treating her.
She felt indescribable emotions in her heart.
Feeling moved and glad to be alive, yet felt indescribable emotions because it was Ye Qichi who was saving her.
"You're awake," Ye Qichi also felt Bai Mowan's gaze.
Bai Mowan had a piece of cotton cloth stuffed in her mouth and couldn't speak.
"I have just pulled the arrow out for you. Since it's poisoned and the poison has started to spread in your body, after stopping the arterial bleeding, I need to let some blood from your fingers to detoxify you, please bear with it."
Bai Mowan used her other hand to take out the cotton cloth from her mouth.
Ye Qichi furrowed her brow.
"Ye Qichi, why did you save me?" Bai Mowan asked her after removing the cotton cloth.
Why?! Isn't saving people a matter of course?!
When there's someone to save, of course, you should save them.
If it's beyond saving, then she can't do anything.
"Don't you know that Xiao Jinxing likes me?" Bai Mowan looked at Ye Qichi.
Ye Qichi smiled slightly.
She said, "Xiao Jinxing liking you is his business, what does it have to do with me?"
"Aren't you jealous? Don't you feel envy?" Bai Mowan asked her.
"Not jealous, nor envious," Ye Qichi responded to Bai Mowan while checking on her bleeding, "There's no feelings between me and Xiao Jinxing to begin with."
"You don't like Xiao Jinxing?" Bai Mowan was somewhat incredulous.
"I don't."
"How could you not?"
"What is there to like about him?" Ye Qichi countered Bai Mowan.
At that moment, Bai Mowan was rendered speechless.
Ye Qichi chuckled.
So, Bai Mowan couldn't find any merits in Xiao Jinxing either.
At least none that applied to her.
Ye Qichi said nonchalantly, "He's not nice to me, has a bad temper, and is ready to kill me at a moment's notice; why would I like him?"
I'm definitely not a masochist!
"If you don't like him, why do you help him so much?"
"It's for my family, of course. Given the current court situation, without him backing us, my family would be destroyed by Xiao Jinsen and his power in no time." Ye Qichi released Bai Mowan's arms, the bleeding almost stopped, "Don't worry, I have never competed with you for Xiao Jinxing, nor could I take him from you. You two are certainly a match made by fate."
Ye Qichi could indeed sense the hostility Bai Mowan had towards her.
"Match?" Bai Mowan was puzzled.
"It means spouse." After thinking for a moment, Ye Qichi found a word to explain.
Once she said it.
Bai Mowan's face turned red instantly.
As an unmarried lady, such things always made her uncomfortable.
Ye Qichi smiled helplessly.
Didn't Bai Mowan get married in her previous life?
Didn't she also have marital relations?
Although it was not with Xiao Jinxing but with Xiao Jinsen, there's no reason for her to be so shy.
Shyness.
It is probably because of her feelings for the one she likes.
Ye Qichi said, "Xiao Jinxing and I will divorce after he defeats Xiao Jinsen."
"That's not what I mean." Bai Mowan instead felt uncomfortable with Ye Qichi's straightforwardness.
She always seemed too petty in front of Ye Qichi.
"Bear with it." Ye Qichi said no more, instead focusing on Bai Mowan's injured body, "I need to bleed you now for detoxification."
"Okay." Bai Mowan agreed immediately.
Ye Qichi took out her silver needle and pricked Bai Mowan's middle finger with it.
Then, through the middle finger, she released the toxins in Bai Mowan's body through the blood.
The whole process was somewhat lengthy.
After finishing, Ye Qichi said, "There's no technology here for blood transfusion, otherwise we could drain more to dilute the toxins in the blood, but it shouldn't cause too much harm to your body now. After returning, rest for a while and take some medicine to recover."
"Thank you." Bai Mowan sincerely thanked.
Her previous view of Ye Qichi...
Indeed, she was too petty.
Ye Qichi was more magnanimous than she thought.
She shouldn't have harbored hostility towards her.
Even if it was out of jealousy.
"I have checked the other injuries on your body; they are all superficial and do not need immediate attention. However, the arrow wound on your arm will need more time to heal since it has hit the bone. For a long time, do not move or use a spear, wait until the bone heals before you do."
"Okay." Bai Mowan nodded.
"You should rest a bit." Ye Qichi said.
"Are we not leaving?" Bai Mowan asked.
"Let's wait for Xiao Jinxing to rescue us." Ye Qichi was also leaning against the cave wall, tired, "Given our current state, we definitely can't climb up ourselves. But don't worry, Xiao Jinxing will come to save you."
Bai Mowan bit her lip lightly.
She naturally knew, Brother Xiao would definitely come to rescue her.
