Chapter 324 - 323: Don’t Cry Alright

Chapter 324: Chapter 323: Don’t Cry Alright

A stick struck down.

The pain was not intense, almost no sensation at all.

But why did he inexplicably kick forward?

Qin Xiao looked at Chu Qianli, his face full of astonishment.

Chu Qianli smiled and said, "This is a reflex of the nerves... um, that is to say, your meridians are fine, there are no issues at all."

Qin Xiao still didn’t understand.

Chu Qianli took a box out of her pocket.

Qin Xiao was still puzzled, such a large box hidden in her pocket, and he had not noticed it just now.

It was probably because he had become somewhat disheartened and had failed to notice anything.

However, what Chu Qianli took out was not just a box.

There was also a medicine chest.

"This thing, is a steel plate I fashioned by hand, to stabilize your leg," she said.

"Actually, you can walk on your leg, the reason it’s limping is because the fractured bone didn’t heal properly."

Qin Xiao didn’t speak, in fact, he didn’t quite understand what she was saying.

But she clearly hadn’t figured out a solution yesterday.

Yet, when she said she temporarily couldn’t treat it, Qin Xiao had actually given up.

Just like the other doctors, she had no solution.

Chu Qianli smiled and said, "You’ve given up too soon. I said I temporarily couldn’t treat it, because I hadn’t finished making my device."

"But now, I have finished it."

She gently flicked the steel plate, "Look, as long as a few of these plates are nailed onto your leg bone..."

"Miss Chu, are you joking with me?" Qin Xiao’s expression darkened.

To nail such hard objects into his leg bone?

How could that be possible?

"I’m serious, I’m just afraid you won’t dare."

Her eyes spelled out seriousness.

Qin Xiao looked at her, his initial anger gradually turning to wavering.

"Really?" Nailing the plate onto the bone, unheard and unseen!

"Really, what I want to know is if you dare?"

Qin Xiao didn’t answer the question.

This wasn’t about daring or not, but rather, he had never heard if there was even such a possibility.

"There’s a fifty percent chance," she said to everyone, she would never coax someone just because they were a patient.

"But I don’t know..."

"The whole process involves cutting open your flesh, fixing the steel plate in place to take over the function of your leg bone, allowing you to gradually walk freely."

"Bones have the ability to regenerate, after some time... This duration could be a matter of months, or a few years, depending on your own recovery capabilities."

"After some time, once your bone has completely healed, we’ll cut open your flesh again and remove the steel plate."

Chu Qianli stood up, looked down at him, his handsome, sun-kissed face.

"It’s up to you, if you dare."

"I dare!" As long as there was a real fifty percent chance, he was willing to endure it!

"Not afraid of the pain from cutting open the flesh? Nailing into the bone is something most people can’t bear, you’re truly not afraid?"

Chu Qianli’s light gaze was worlds apart from the words she uttered.

Nails driven into the bone... just thinking about it made one’s scalp tingle.

"If it’s successful..."

"In a few months or a year or two, you’ll be able to walk like any other person," Chu Qianli nodded affirmatively.

He had no reason to believe a young girl.

Especially regarding such an unthinkable method of treatment.

Yet for some reason, just like back then on Phoenix Mountain, he found himself willing to trust her.

"Alright."

Qin Xiao slowly clenched his larger palm, squeezing his own fist tightly.

"I can endure it."

"Then there’s no time to delay, I’ll prepare to perform the surgery on you now."

...

It was said that a Divine Doctor was treating the Third Young Master.

All those in the General Residence whose hearts were with the Third Young Master were on edge.

Nobody knew if that young girl was reliable or not.

"She’s very young, looks to be only around fifteen or sixteen."

"Isn’t that just the seventh miss from the Duke Residence with that extremely bad reputation from before?"

"The seventh miss from the Duke Residence?"

"Now it seems she has become the fifth miss... Ah, their Duke Residence always seems to be a mess, who knows if she is the seventh or fifth miss, in any case, her previous reputation was extremely poor."

"Are there any rumors?

"The seventh miss from the Duke Residence? You don’t know? She’s the one who... set up a love trap, schemed against Prince Xuan, and had eloped with the Prince... cough, that kind of relationship, and later married into the Prince Residence as the former Princess Xuan."

"Princess Xuan?"

"But I heard the butler calling her Miss Lili. She’s married, how come they still call her Miss?"

"If you said ’former,’ that means she isn’t any longer."

"She was cast off by Prince Xuan..."

"Alas, such a woman to treat our Third Young Master—has the lord... has he gone mad?"

"I think it’s mostly unreliable. You guys be careful. Tonight the Third Young Master might very well lose his temper. Everyone be cautious in attending to him."

"Yes!"

Outside, the discussion was fervent.

Once the door was closed, it all had nothing to do with them.

Chu Qianli looked at the man lying on the bed, holding a scalpel in her hand, with various instruments placed on the cabinet beside her.

"Are you afraid?"

Qin Xiao didn’t speak, only glanced at her, his hand gripping tightly.

To say he was not afraid would be a lie. Cutting through flesh, nails penetrating bone—who could be without anxiety?

"No need to be afraid, it won’t hurt."

"It won’t hurt?" What a joke!

Even if she was placating him, it shouldn’t be so exaggerated, should it?

"Truly, it won’t hurt... Oh, when I give the injection, it might hurt a little, just a bit more than a mosquito bite."

Chu Qianli walked to his leg.

"I’m going to give you the injection now, don’t move, understand?"

Qin Xiao didn’t speak.

He knew what an injection was. Back in Tuoxi Village, he had seen her give so-called injections to patients.

It seemed like magic.

A sharp sting on the leg, just as she said, a little more painful than a mosquito bite.

But for a general, such pain was trivial.

However, Qin Xiao soon discovered that his leg was becoming more and more numb, and he was losing sensation!

"Miss Chu, Miss Chu!"

He was half scared to death, wanting to get up, only to be pushed back down by Chu Qianli.

"You, this patient, are too disobedient. It looks like I need to tie you down."

"No no no! Miss Chu, something’s wrong with me... my leg... I can’t move my leg!"

Qin Xiao was on the verge of crying.

Previously, although it was lame, at least he could still move it.

Now, why did he have no feeling at all?

"Miss Chu..."

"I gave you an anesthetic, so when I cut open your flesh, you won’t feel the pain."

This time, Chu Qianli truly tied him up.

"The anesthesia will wear off after a few hours, and once the anesthetic wears off, it will... hurt quite a bit."

She applied disinfectant to his leg, thoroughly disinfecting it before starting. With the scalpel in hand, she bowed down, looking at his eyes that couldn’t hide the unrest.

"I’m starting now, General Qin. Please summon the courage befitting a man... and don’t cry out in fright."
