268. He Got Shot by Arrows Twice
Translator: Fan Translation Studio
With such a dense arrow rain and offensive attack, it was impossible to dodge all.
However, it seed Xiao Baoshan was not injured at all. After he walked over, he first picked up so rags and pulled the arrows out of his body. Then he glanced at Wang Wen to motion him to co over and bind up his wounds.
Tarico rembered that there were so dicinal herbs that he had bought in Central Plain on the back of the cal. He said imdiately, “Wait a minute, there are so herbs that help stop bleeding. I’ll go get them.”
Tarico applied so dical balm on Xiao Baoshan’s wound.
Looking at the wound again, Tarico took another breath.
The arrowhead of the Bandits might not be as good as the soldiers’, but it was also very sharp. Once got shot, one would get deep round wounds and bleeing heavily.
Most people would have already been howling.
However, the reaction of Xiao Baoshan was like being bitten by mosquitoes, even without humming.
Tarico wondered if he was still human.
......
On the way back, Xiao Baoshan’s status suddenly rose. Everyone surrounded him and was willing to do anything for him. As the desert conditions were terrible, everyone was worried if his wounds would get worse.
At first, it was as though there were nothing wrong with Xiao Baoshan but in the last two days, he got paler.
Once, Tarico found that his condition did not improved at all.
Well, it would be a miracle if he got better in such a terrible desert condition.
Therefore, Tarico sped up his speed. Now, what was a must was to return to the tribe and heal his wounds.
......
Ye Xiaoxian’s eyes had been twitching for several days.
She thought she was the only one who was like this, but she didn’t expect that one night, Li Hongi would also say, “Why is my eye always twicthing? Quite strange, did sothing happen to Xiao Baoshan?”
Unexpectedly, Xiao Baozhu also echoed, “ too. My eyes are twitching. It’s a bad on.”
Of course, Xiao Baozhu was lying.
She knew about Li Hongi’s plan, so she wanted to make Ye Xiaoxian panicked and even care more about Xiao Baoshan so that after Xiao Baoshan ca back, Ye Xiaoxian might treat her brother better.
But Li Hongi was telling the truth. She asked Xiao Baozhu to take a closer look. When Xiao Baozhu saw her eyes were really twtiching, she added, “Mom, your left eye is twitching. It would be good news. After all, left eye ans fortune and right eye ans disaster.”
“Are you sure? But what I heard is completely contrary.”
“Of course, I couldn’t be wrong. There was a period of ti when my right eye kept twitching, and then those gangsters ca.”
“...”
Ye Xiaoxian was even more flustered when she heard the two of them argued heatedly.
She felt like sothing was going to happen.
......
A new day began.
Ye Xiaoxian was working outside. Later, a girl called A’Zhi ca over to inform her that a guest was here and asked her to go back to receive the guest.
“A guest?” Ye Xiaoxian asked, “Is it the Seventh King?”
Apart from Li Chengru, she didn’t expect anyone else would co.
A’Zhi replied, “No, it’s two middle-aged n. They originally wanted to et your husband, but isn’t he in the tribe? So they ca to et you.”
When she heard the word “husband”, Ye Xiaoxian was flustered more.
She thought that could it really be as the saying went that distance made hearts grow fonder? After all, now she was really worried about Xiao Baoshan.
......
When Ye Xiaoxian returned to the yurt, she saw Qian Qi and a middle-aged man.
“General Qian?” She was surprised. Why was Qian Qi here?
She didn’t know if she should be courteous. After all, bowing was a must etiquette when eting any officials in the ancient ti.
Qian Qi hurriedly refused her bowing and then said to Ye Xiaoxian, “Last ti we t, the Sixth King promised that he would find a doctor for General Xiao. So this is the doctor he found. Coincidentally, his surna is also Xiao. You can call him Dr. Xiao. He has treated patients with similar symptoms before.”
“Oh,” Ye Xiaoxian imdiately greeted the doctor.
Dr. Xiao looked around 40 years old with glossy skin and energetic voice, which was like so very excellent Chinese doctors in modern tis.
Just judging from his appearance, Ye Xiaoxian felt that he should have so tricks.
Qian Qi added, “I originally wanted to talk to General Xiao about sothing. Since General Xiao is not in the tribe now, I will co back another day. However, Dr. Xiao will stay here to wait for General Xiao. Moreover, Dr. Xiao is interested in the herbs on the Tianshan tribe’s side. He wants to take this ti to pick up so herbs. So I have to bother you to receive him and give him a private yurt.”
Ye Xiaoxian got his ideas.
After receiving both Qianqi and Dr. Xiao, Ye Xiaoxian asked for a new yurt, intending to build it up for Dr. Xiao.
Squire Liu took charge of their resources and accounts and they needed to register and settle with Squire Liu.
After Li Hongi found out, she also followed behind and said to Ye Xiaoxian and Squire Liu, “How about taking out two yurts?”
“Why two?” Ye Xiaoxian asked.
“Of course for you and Xiao Baoshan. You are husband and wife, so naturally you have to live together. Now that our conditions are good, Qianqian and Jia Zhenbo can also share one yurt. There are also your eldest uncle and his wife, third uncle and third aunt. You can’t always live together with us. And Xiao Baoshan also can’t stay with his grandfather all the ti. Your grandfather snored in the middle of the night and Xiao Baoshan always can’t sleep well.”
After that, Li Hongi motioned at Squire Liu again. Squire Liu was surprised and imdiately said, “Then, just take two yurts. Otherwise, others should say that I’m being partial and only prepare rooms for Qianqian and Zhenbo, but not for you two.”
“Uh, we both...” Ye Xiaoxian wanted to explain. They hadn’t reconciled yet, and she had been put away.
But Squire Liu said, “Anyway. I have to set up a yurt for you. You can live as you please.”
Li Hongi was overjoyed. She took the yurt and thanked Squire Liu. Then, she found soone to build a yurt in full of joy.
Ye Xiaoxian feel helpless again.
She thought, ‘If you want to, then just let them do it.’ Anyway, she wouldn’t step in the new yurt, so she still had to sleep in Li Hongi’s yurt at night, just letting Xiao Baoshan sleep alone.
......
After the yurt was set up, Dr. Xiao settled in.
As soon as Dr. Xiao ca to the tribe, he liked this place very much. It was said that the land here was full of resources and talents, and the landscape was a thousand tis more brilliant than the Central Plain’s. Presumably the drugs here was also full of effects that could be used to save people with less effort.
The yurt for Xiao Baoshan was set up as well. Li Hongi couldn’t wait to move his things into the room. Anyway there was not so much, just a few clothes.
After sorting out Xiao Baoshan’s luggage, she wanted to pick up Ye Xiaoxian’s again.
Ye Xiaoxian refused, insisting on staying with her. While Li Hongi insisted on letting her move, so that they almost got into a fight.
Just as the two of them were in a deadlock, soone suddenly ca over and shouted, “Little Ye, Auntie Hongi, bad news. Little Ye’s husband is back.”
Li Hongi asked unhappily, “Then it would be good news. Why are you panicking?”
“Little Ye’s husband is injured. He was carried back and is still unconscious.”
Li Hongi and Ye Xiaoxian were stunned.
Then the two of them ran out at almost the sa ti.
......
Xiao Baoshan was indeed brought back by soone. On the last day, he was chard and burned. As soon as they left the desert, Wang Wen and Wangwu borrowed a horse to send him back.
Ye Xiaoxian ran over to find that Xiao Baoshan’s eyes were closed, his lips white, and corner of his mouth had blisters, as if he were seriously short of water.
In that instant, she suddenly worried that he would really die.
Wang Wen and Wang Wu were worried that they couldn’t find a doctor. Tarico told them that they could find a doctor after returning to the tribe, but the doctor in the tribe were similar to the wizard. They could only treat so of the small problems, not serious diseases.
Upon hearing that there was a Dr. Xiao, they felt quite relieved and lucky that they quickly brought Xiao Baoshan into his new yurt and let Dr. Xiao disgnose.
“How did this happen?” Dr. Xiao asked.
“He was hit by arrows, two arrows. He was fine at first, but later on, he got worse and worse. Doctor, please take a closer look. He has fainted for a whole day. Will he be fine?”
Dr. Xiao undid the clothes on Xiao Baoshan and the rags covered on the wounds. Then he saw that the wounds were turning black with bruising.
Li Hongi asked in horror, “Ah, isn’t he poisoned? Are the arrows poisoned? Who is so cruel? Why are they poisoning on arrows?”
“It’s not poisoned, it’s tetanus. If he gets injured in the desert, the wound will be very difficult to get better. Now, I have to bring down his fever in ti and then deal with the wounds. Don’t be all around here or it’ll be detrintal to his wounds. Leave soone closest to him to assist .”
Wang Wen said decisively, “I should stay. I know what happened back then.”
Dr. Xiao smiled. “You are a man. It’d be best if his wife leave. That... Mrs. Xiao, how about you helping ?”
When she heard the words “Mrs. Xiao”, Ye Xiaoxian didn’t co around at the ti. Li Hongi pushed her forward and said in a low voice, “Little Ye, just stay here. He has been injured like this. You are the only one who can help him.”
Ye Xiaoxian, “...”
Only Dr. Xiao and Ye Xiaoxian stayed to take care of Xiao Baoshan.
Dr. Xiao asked Ye Xiaoxian to undo the gown from Xiao Baoshan and prepare a basin of hot water to clean the wounds.
In the tribe, they didn’t need to worry about water shortage. Ye Xiaoxian went out and saw them surrounding Wang Wen and Wang Wu to ask sothing.
“Why did Xiao Baoshan get shot by arrows?” Li Hongi asked Wang Wen incredibly.
“We t bandits. But if it weren’t for General Xiao, all of us would have died in the desert. You don’t know how brave General Yan was at that ti. He was alone fighting with 30 people!”
“Ah? Then, why didn’t you go to help him?”
“He asked us to protect other people and cals.”
“...”
Ye Xiaoxian listened to the brief story, but she didn’t dare to linger here. She took the water and rushed back to the yurt.
In order to facilitate Dr. Xiao’s needle therapy, she had to wipe Xiao Baoshan’s body all over. The forehead, face, and upper body had to be wiped over carefully.
She was like a nurse.
Yet, if she had to wipe his body, then she had to touch him.
She hadn’t been so intimate with him for a long ti. At first, she was a little unused to it. Later, when she slowly touched his skin, her heart raced rapidly.
His skin was still black and rough. His muscles were bulging. He should be impervious to blades and spears, but he was now so weak that he lay there like a child, motionless.
