Chapter 2653: Removal

Xie Yutang opened his mouth and apologised as he watched her return. “It’s all our fault, we’re sorry. You wouldn’t have to help them barbecue if it weren’t for us.”

He bowed his head. Along the journey, he had a vague feeling that Feng Jiu’s strength was greater than his, but he didn’t know how powerful her cultivation was. He knew, though, that Feng Jiu normally wouldn’t have agreed to barbecue for them at all. She had agreed to it, all because of them.

Feng Jiu was stunned for a moment after hearing this and then smiled. “It’s nothing, I have nothing else to do anyway.” She smiled, sat by the fire, and told him, “You must change the medication for your wound. Come, I’ll take a look for you.”

“Oh.” Xie Yutang said nothing but took his coat off, revealing the wounds bandaged inside.

“What to do? There is only one bottle of medicine left. ” Xie Shisi’s face wrinkled. She feared that the medicine would run out before the wound healed.

“I have one here. Store that bottle away first.” After removing the binding from Xie Yutang’s wound and examining it, Feng Jiu retrieved a bottle from the space and assisted him in administering it to the wound.

She frowned upon noticing the wound turned severe and festered due to sweat and the humid weather. “The wound is festering and must be treated.”

“It’s fine, just put some medicine on it.” He was aware that the conditions were limited in this place, only bandaging of the wound was available.

Feng Jiu gave him a quick look and then pulled out her knife. “I’ll help you remove the rotten flesh.” She burned the knife on the fire as she talked.

When they heard what she said, the Xie siblings were shocked. “Remove the rotten flesh? You, how does that make sense?” She didn’t know anything about medicine, so why was she taking a knife to his skin? How could he allow it?

Xie Yutang’s face was pale and his forehead was wet as he looked at the sharp knife in Feng Jiu’s hand. “No, there’s no need for this. I’ll get it treated once we’re back! There should be nothing…” He couldn’t finish what he was saying because he was cut off.

“When you get back, you won’t be able to use your arm.” Feng Jiu said indifferently and gave him a quick look. “Could it be that you are afraid of pain? You don’t dare to let me scrape your flesh?”

Xie Yutang took a nervous gulp. “The issue is not afraid of pain at all, do you understand? You don’t even know…”

He halted as he held his breath and tensed his body because the person holding the knife did not wait for him to finish speaking before scraping at his wound. He was so tense that he could not even say a word.

“Relax, don’t be nervous; practice makes perfect; I’m just going to practice a bit on you.” Feng Jiu stated while removing the festering flesh from his wound.

Xie Yu Tang’s eyes widened as he stared at her. What exactly did she mean by “Practice makes perfect?” Using him to practice a bit? Why was this person so cold-hearted? His body was taut, but he dared not move his gaze up to the wound and focused on the person in front of him instead.

Feng Jiu cleaned up his wound after removing the festering flesh, then reapplied her medicine and bandaged it.

“It’s all good now.” She left to wash her hands and then returned. “I’m going to get some sleep. Call me if you have any needs.” Immediately after saying this, she jumped on the tree to relax.

Xie Yutang inspected the wound which had been rebandaged. He thought that the wound did not hurt as much after getting treated. On the contrary, there was a cool sensation. He could not resist stealing a glance at Feng Jiu on the tree.
