Chapter 481: Chapter 481: The Ruthless Woman (1)_1

Mo Heng’s wound sprayed blood onto his face, and as Pei Qin watched several black-clad men attacking them, her heart swelled with unstoppable fury. Clenching her dagger tightly, she seized the moment one of them struck at Mo Heng, rolled on the ground, and plunged her blade into the man’s groin.

With a scream of agony, the black-clad man stiffened, holding his sword posed to pierce straight through Pei Qin’s vital point.

Mo Heng quickly parried with his sword.

Knowing that Mo Heng was behind her, Pei Qin did not hold back, and upon seeing the black-clad man fall, she turned to attack the next one.

The men had not expected such underhanded tactics from a woman, targeting their groins. They wanted to kill her, but Mo Heng obstructed them.

Pei Qin’s indignant fury slightly shifted the tide of battle.

Lu Hao quickly joined in the fight as well.

Chang Yonglin and two guards were still there.

Seeing they were now outnumbered with casualties of their own, the black-clad men immediately began to retreat.

Feng Wei and Lu Hao pursued them, while Lu Hai came to check on Pei Qin and Mo Heng.

Pei Qin’s face was spattered with blood, and her body had many wounds as well.

Mo Heng’s entire right hand was dripping with blood, the wound on his back ghastly and gaping outward, his entire back soaked with blood, his complexion ashen to a frightful degree.

"Hurry up and go! He’s about to die!" Pei Qin grabbed his arm, tore some strips of cloth, and tied his wrist tightly to stop the bleeding from his right hand.

Seeing her anxious expression, Mo Heng curved his lips slightly in response and quickly followed her home.

Zhang Gengshan opened the door and was immediately scared silly, "Young Master... Young Master..."

"Cut the chatter! Fetch some hot water!" Pei Qin yelled at him.

Zhang Gengshan hurried to fetch the hot water and also found some golden sore medicine and gauze.

Pei Qin examined his hand and first stopped the bleeding.

Lu Hai saw her strip Mo Heng without any hesitation and quietly turned his head away.

Pei Qin, who had been proficient in dressing wounds since she was young, skillfully applied the medicine to Mo Heng and bandaged the wound before moving on to his hand.

The medicine had stopped the bleeding, but it was uncertain whether the tendons were damaged.

Looking at his pale face, Pei Qin asked him to move his hand, "Don’t you know medicine? See if the tendons in your hand are damaged. If they are, your right hand is ruined."

Zhang Gengshan, as he draped a cotton-padded jacket over Mo Heng, paled, "That can’t be! The young master will still need his hand to write and wield a sword!"

Mo Heng stared at his hand and slowly pursed his lips.

Zhang Gengshan felt his heart skip a beat at the sight of his expression.

Pei Qin’s heart sank as well, and she looked at Zhang Gengshan, "Go fetch a doctor!"

With eyes reddened, Zhang Gengshan quickly ran out to call for a doctor.

Soon the doctor was rushed over, "Doctor! Please examine our young master’s hand quickly..."

The doctor, glimpsing Mo Heng’s appearance, flashed a look of astonishment, then noticed Pei Qin with her body drenched in blood. Without asking further questions, he examined Mo Heng’s hand. After a thorough examination, he shook his head gravely and said, "A sharp weapon has penetrated and severed the tendons in the hand, I fear..." that the hand might be beyond recovery.

He didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone understood the implication.

"Whatever is damaged, reattach it! If it’s not healed in three months, then a year, or two years!" Pei Qin frowned and spoke with frustrated breath. Blind man Mo had taken a sword strike for her, resulting in his injured hand. If his hand were to be ruined, was she expected to give him a hand in return?

The doctor, seeing her displeased face, replied with difficulty, "My medical skills aren’t profound. Perhaps you should seek out a famous physician in the county or Fu City. Maybe someone else will have a solution."

Pei Qin’s expression was ugly. To speak like this, was Mo Heng’s hand truly ruined? And it was his right hand.

"It doesn’t matter," Mo Heng said softly.

Previously, his blindness had been due to poison, not a fatal injury. But now, with his hand severed at the tendon, if it turned out to be ruined, there was no hope for recovery.
