Chapter 21

"Impossible!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head hurriedly. Yesterday, at the pharmacy in the market, he had seen a similar situation and wondered why such wounds were not sutured. Today, seeing Mo Hongxian's wound, he couldn't help but comment.

His original intention was merely to remind the doctor, but he never expected that his second brother would directly drag him over.

"Since you can suggest a treatment, you must have the ability to do it!" His second brother glared fiercely. The doctor was clearly no longer reliable, and the leader was bleeding profusely. He was genuinely anxious.

"But I can't do it either, I just..." Before Jiang Xingchen could finish his sentence, his second brother had already grabbed his shoulder.

"Brother Jiang Ling, our leader has been good to you, right? Look at her wound now; if we wait any longer, she'll bleed to death. Why are you hesitating?"

"Jiang Ling, just do it quickly! Just stop the bleeding for Hongxian!" Wan Rou said, her voice choked with sobs. In just a short while, Mo Hongxian's face had become even paler, and she was barely able to speak.

"Alright! I'll give it a try!" Jiang Xingchen gritted his teeth. With the conversation at this point, even without confidence, he couldn't refuse!

"Find me a smaller needle and some animal sinew thread!" Catgut was impossible to find, and curved needles for suturing were also out of the question, so he had to make do.

After giving the order, Jiang Xingchen turned to the doctor and said, "You help me! Get me a basin of hot water first!"

"Okay!" The doctor nodded hurriedly, but before he could move, the team members outside the door had already rushed to prepare.

In no time, the hot water, needle, and thread were brought over.

Jiang Xingchen washed his hands first, then sterilized the needle over the oil lamp flame. After threading the needle, he instructed the doctor to clean Mo Hongxian's wound. Then, he turned around, stared directly at the wound, and extended his trembling hand with the needle.

The second brother, the fourth brother, and Wan Rou, watching from the side, felt their hearts tighten, and they held their breath.

"Endure the pain!" Jiang Xingchen, without looking at Mo Hongxian, said softly as he inserted the needle directly into the tender flesh inside the wound.

The wound was too deep and needed to be sutured both inside and out for proper healing.

The moment the needle pierced the flesh, Jiang Xingchen's trembling hand steadied, and the feeling he had when making the toothbrush in the morning returned.

"Phew~" Jiang Xingchen immediately relaxed. The sensation in his hands was extremely sensitive, and his fingers became more agile. Although the tools were not professional, he sutured the inside of the wound quickly and left the thread ends.

However, as his movements became more skilled, his face grew paler, and his heart rate accelerated.

The process of suturing the wound made everyone draw cold breaths, especially when the needle pierced the tender flesh inside the wound. They felt as if it was piercing their own arms. Mo Hongxian's lips were bleeding from biting them, and Wan Rou turned her head away, unable to watch!

Once the inside was sutured, the outside was much simpler. In just a few minutes, the wound was completely sutured, with neat stitches and only a few blood threads seeping out.

"It really stopped the bleeding!" The second brother, the fourth brother, Wan Rou, and the rest of the mercenary team were amazed. They hadn't expected the suturing to be so effective!

The doctor, at this moment, was struck like by lightning, staring blankly at the sutured wound, his face expressionless, shaking his head and muttering something.

"Quick, apply the medicine and bandage it, fast!" Jiang Xingchen's shout made the doctor shiver, and he quickly came to his senses, moving swiftly. For the next steps, he was more skilled than Jiang Xingchen.

Mo Hongxian also visibly relaxed. Although she had spoken confidently, she had been extremely nervous. The beak of the mutated snow pheasant was like steel, and the wound was difficult to stop bleeding. While it wouldn't be life-threatening, if not treated in time, her left arm might be crippled.

"Hahahaha..." The second brother suddenly burst into laughter, slapping Jiang Xingchen on the shoulder, "I knew you had the skills, and yet..."

Before he could finish, the second brother looked surprised, "Hey! The one bleeding is the leader, not you! Why are you paler than the leader?"

"I'm afraid of blood!" Jiang Xingchen glanced at the second brother, rolled his eyes, and fainted, falling to the ground with a thud.

The second brother was stunned, unable to catch Jiang Xingchen in time. Seeing his face hit the ground, he clicked his teeth and hurriedly helped him up.

"Quick, prepare a room for Brother Jiang Ling to rest!" The fourth brother instructed, then couldn't hold back a chuckle.

With the leader now safe and knowing Jiang Xingchen was fine, everyone relaxed and burst into laughter, "Afraid of blood! Is that a proper reaction for a man?"

The fourth brother laughed, "I see why he was hesitant before, now I understand!"

Even the heavily bleeding Mo Hongxian teased, "I thought he was excited by seeing my entire arm!"

Wan Rou lightly slapped Mo Hongxian, saying, "Jiang Ling is indeed an interesting person. As a commoner, he doesn't act inferior, showing his strong character! But being afraid of blood is really unexpected..."

At this moment, the second brother returned and said to everyone, "He really fainted, his heart is racing like a galloping horse!"

After these words, everyone fell silent, no longer joking. They were all martial artists and knew how uncomfortable it was for the body when the heart rate was that fast. Yet, he had still insisted on treating the leader!

In the silence, the doctor had already bandaged Mo Hongxian.

At this point, Wan Rou suddenly said, "What happened today with Jiang Ling treating Hongxian must not be told to anyone!"

Everyone's faces changed, immediately understanding. Such medical techniques had never been seen before, and the impact would be enormous. If it got out, it would be even more sensational than the two secret recipes for removing meat odor.

Involuntarily, everyone's gaze turned to the doctor.

"Leader Mo, Miss Wan Rou, rest assured, I saw nothing today! I just gave Leader Mo a regular treatment!" The doctor bowed, his breathing short. The moment he was stared at by everyone, his inner shirt was drenched in cold sweat.

"Remember what you said! Otherwise, you know the consequences!" Wan Rou, losing her usual gentleness, spoke coldly, her voice like a blade.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The doctor nodded hurriedly.

"Fourth brother, take the doctor back!" Mo Hongxian said, giving the fourth brother a meaningful look. No matter how well the doctor promised, he couldn't resist the temptation of great benefits, so they had to be cautious.

The fourth brother understood and knew his task for the next few days would be to watch the doctor...

By noon, the sky had become even gloomier, and the biting cold wind signaled the arrival of winter.

In the room, Jiang Xingchen slowly opened his eyes, a look of helplessness on his face, "Did I offend the feng shui of the Purple Thistle Mercenary Team's base? Every time I come here, I end up being knocked out. The day before yesterday, it was drinking, and today, it's being afraid of blood..."

Thinking about it, Jiang Xingchen felt depressed. He had a strong mental fortitude and adaptability, but why did he have this one weakness that he couldn't change even after crossing over?

"This time, I've lost face again!" Imagining the second brother and the others pointing at him and laughing, Jiang Xingchen's face darkened.

After lying there for a while, Jiang Xingchen exhaled deeply, sat up, and got out of bed, walking out.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the second brother and a group of people waiting at the door.

"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen's mouth twitched, and before he could speak, the group burst into laughter.

"Sure enough! These guys were just waiting here to mock me?" Jiang Xingchen's face was as gloomy as the sky, dark enough to drip water.

"Brother Jiang Ling, don't take it to heart, we didn't mean anything... Afraid of blood! Hahahaha..."

"That's right, we just wanted to see if you were better! Hahahaha... Scared by the blood and fainted!"

The second brother, panting, walked up and put his arm around Jiang Xingchen's shoulder, "Brother, don't think too much..."

Jiang Xingchen suddenly laughed, his gloomy expression disappearing, and he said loudly, "Thank you, Second Brother and everyone! But you know, I just got better, and your laughter made me feel uncomfortable again... I'll go tell Leader Mo that I can't prepare the snow pheasant today, we'll do it another day!"

In an instant, the laughter stopped, and the second brother's face fell, "Brother, don't play with us like that. If you don't prepare the snow pheasant, the leader will kill us!"

Jiang Xingchen turned to look at the second brother, his smile even brighter, "I didn't say I wouldn't do it, just that I'm not feeling well today!"

"If we wait, the energy in the snow pheasant meat will be gone... Brother, I was wrong, don't do this to me!" The second brother said with a pained expression.

"Ha ha, what are you talking about, Second Brother? With our relationship, would I do that to you... Besides, I wasn't feeling uncomfortable because of your laughter!"

"Swish!" A dozen people surrounded him, chattering, "Brother Jiang Ling, where are you not feeling well? Let me massage you!"

"Right! Who laughed just now, tell me, and I'll help you deal with them!"

"You laughed the most just now..."

"Hey! Who kicked me..."

The group's playful banter made Jiang Xingchen feel incredibly relaxed, and the palpitations caused by his fear of blood completely dissipated.

A moment later, Jiang Xingchen entered Mo Hongxian's room. Since the bleeding had stopped and she had rested for over a month, Mo Hongxian's face finally showed a hint of color.

"Jiang Ling, thank you this time!" Mo Hongxian said.

"Ha ha, what's there to thank! Isn't it natural for friends to help each other?" Jiang Xingchen smiled faintly.

Mo Hongxian and Wan Rou were taken aback, then both smiled. Jiang Xingchen's words were truly skillful, positioning both of them as friends in a very natural way, without any sense of abruptness or discomfort.

"Ha ha, since you put it that way, we won't be polite with friends! Hurry up and prepare the snow pheasant, we've been waiting all day!"

"Alright!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and walked out of the room with them.
