Chapter 22: Cutting Flesh
With great difficulty, the festering wound on Xi Yang’s body was doused with spring water, but it was not over. The necrotic flesh around the wound had to be cut off to speed up recovery.
If he were to cut flesh here, Gu Yu was worried that Xi Yang would let out a pig-like scream, attracting a crowd.
However, before Xi Yang could even cry out, all the onlookers around them simultaneously turned their gazes over.
Did he do something?
Looking around in confusion, Gu Yu saw looks of admiration on everyone’s faces, wondering what he had done to earn such reverence.
Oh well, perhaps they found him too handsome.
Gu Yu pondered for a few seconds before dismissing the thought. As he watched his little wife quickly approach him, he immediately helped Xi Yang up from the ground.
Now, they needed to go to an inn, get a room, and thoroughly treat Xi Yang’s injuries before anything else.
“Oh my god, is this young man that woman’s husband?”
“He must be! Didn’t you hear what came out of his mouth just now? It’s truly shocking. What kind of person can subdue such a formidable woman?”
“Although he looks delicate, his background must be extraordinary. Otherwise, how could he so easily control such a strong person and even marry her?”
“Regardless, Tianxiang Town is about to get lively!”
“Following the big shots means good food; now, we no longer have to worry about that blood-sucking elf!”
“Perhaps, we might even be lucky enough to obtain that Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice.”
After Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao left with Xi Yang, the onlookers who had been watching began to speak in shock.
Just moments ago, their hearts had nearly stopped beating when they saw Gu Mengyao kill someone.
Such a fierce woman was already married!
And her husband didn’t seem like a martial artist at all… What kind of background did he have to subdue such a powerful woman?
However, after admiring Gu Yu, excitement followed.
They had originally worried about the elf hidden in the shadows suddenly appearing to kill people and take blood, so they didn’t dare to make any significant moves, slowly searching for clues.
But now, with such a powerful figure arriving in Tianxiang Town, they no longer needed to be afraid.
They could act freely and do as they pleased!
If they encountered trouble, they could directly seek help.
They were all in the same town; surely, they wouldn’t refuse to help!
Many people held this thought, but more chose to stand by and observe coldly.
The fierce demeanor of that woman just now was not feigned… Some people even wanted her help?
Were they still dreaming and needed to be splashed with urine to wake up!
Careful calculations could cost them their lives.
…
“Laoda, let’s make a deal. If you really have to cut flesh, can you knock me out first?”
“Medicinal powder doesn’t cost money! Do you know how much money was spent on you just now? It’s just cutting flesh, just endure it and it will pass.”
“I won’t!!!”
Seeing Gu Yu throw over a wooden block, motioning for Xi Yang to quickly bite it to prevent him from shouting in pain when the flesh was cut.
What if someone heard them and thought something had happened!
But Xi Yang, who had already recovered his senses, was now firmly refusing.
He was a person who was very afraid of pain.
Gu Laoda was too stingy, not even willing to spare a bit of medicinal powder!!!
“Alright, Ah Yu, stop teasing him and quickly help Xi Yang treat his wound!”
“In my opinion, he needs to feel the pain once to see if he’ll be so foolish next time. Is it that difficult to run when you can’t win?”
Just as Xi Yang’s face turned pale with fear, Gu Mengyao, standing beside them, couldn’t stand it any longer and immediately reminded Gu Yu.
Xi Yang urgently needed treatment now.
Hearing his little wife’s words, Gu Yu shrugged and didn’t continue to tease Xi Yang. With a wave of his hand, he directly knocked Xi Yang unconscious.
Seeing Xi Yang losing consciousness, Gu Yu didn’t delay and directly took out various knives from his space.
He prepared to cut the flesh.
Xi Yang’s wound had already healed considerably under the spring water treatment; at least, it was no longer festering.
As Gu Yu pulled up the skin and flesh around the wound, he saw that the color was still not right. Without hesitation, he swiftly brought down his knife, taking a piece of necrotic flesh from Xi Yang’s body and throwing it into the wooden barrel at his feet.
There was styptic powder placed nearby, ensuring that Xi Yang would not die from excessive blood loss.
However, Gu Mengyao couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed as she watched piece after piece of rotten flesh being removed and thrown into the wooden barrel…
Fortunately, Xi Yang was unconscious, otherwise, seeing so much of his flesh being cut off from his body, one could only imagine his expression.
“Ah Yu, will Xi Yang be alright after so much flesh is removed?”
“There’s nothing we can do. We came a little late, and there was too much necrotic flesh on Xi Yang. If it were another doctor, they would probably have already prepared a coffin for him.”
Hearing Gu Mengyao’s somewhat worried words, Gu Yu shook his head helplessly while steadily continuing to cut the skin and flesh with his hands.
Necrotic flesh and normal flesh had a significant difference in function, so Gu Yu wouldn’t cut it incorrectly, though it was a bit tiring…
“I’m very worried that this injury will affect Xi Yang’s future training. If he can no longer wield weapons, it will be a huge blow to him.”
“Don’t worry, with your husband here, how could Xi Yang be left with any after-effects? After dealing with the necrotic flesh on Xi Yang’s wound, I’ll mix a basin of medicinal water from the Space Spring Water and have him soak in it, and the flesh will grow back.”
Gu Yu was not overly concerned about the significant amount of flesh that had been cut off from Xi Yang.
His Medical Scripture could completely solve this problem.
As for “resurrecting the dead and regrowing flesh on bones,” it didn’t require any heavenly treasures.
As long as he followed the prescription given in the Medical Scripture and concocted it, he could achieve it.
With these thoughts, Gu Yu’s movements did not slow down. After treating Xi Yang’s wound, he immediately took out wooden barrels and various medicinal herbs from his space.
There was no need to grind them; he simply added them into the wooden barrel.
Then, he added a full barrel of spring water.
He placed Xi Yang in it, letting him soak slowly by himself.
“Is this it?”
“Yes, just wait and see. In less than two days, Xi Yang will be as lively as ever.”
As Gu Yu put away the wooden barrel filled with pieces of flesh, Gu Mengyao was very curious about what he intended to do with them.
However, her concern for Xi Yang prevailed, prompting her to inquire about his condition.
When she heard Gu Yu’s confident words, she finally let go of the worry that had been weighing on her.
Although Xi Yang was lazy and greedy, he had lived in the Gu family for a long time, and Gu Mengyao had come to regard him as family.
Now that he was in trouble, she was naturally very worried.
“Ah Yu, what are you keeping those pieces of flesh for?”
“This! When Xi Yang wakes up, I’ll show them to him. After all, it’s his own flesh.”
“…”
Finally, Gu Mengyao couldn’t suppress her curiosity and asked.
