Chapter 617: Chapter 617 Treating Father Fang’s Injuries Chapter 617: Chapter 617 Treating Father Fang’s Injuries Father Fang turned his head in surprise, looking at him, Zhao Xi’s expression was serious, not at all like he was joking.
“Can you really cure him?”
Zhao Xi nodded, “Of course, for me, this isn’t a very serious injury. However, I will need to remove the rotten flesh from your body, otherwise the wound will continue to fester.”
Hearing this, one knew it would definitely be painful.
But as long as it could be cured, what was a little pain?
Father Fang took a deep breath, “Doctor, please proceed.”
Zhao Xi replied, “Okay, I need to prepare some things.”
He went out to ask Xiyue to boil several pots of hot water, which would be needed soon.
He had wanted her to prepare clean cloths too, but given the Fang Family’s situation, he feared not even dirty cloths could be found.
Fortunately, he had brought his own.
Inside Zhao Xi’s medicine chest, everything that was needed was present. After giving instructions, he entered the room to first treat Father Fang’s wound.
Once the hot water was ready, Zhao Xi started removing the rotten flesh with a knife.
Father Fang bit down on a handkerchief, his body slightly tense.
In fact, Zhao Xi had already applied painkiller to him, but the painkillers of the time had limited effectiveness, and the treatment would definitely still be stimulating.
Indeed, Father Fang’s forehead soon broke into fine sweat, the handkerchief unknowingly falling onto the bed.
When Zhao Xi made another cut, Father Fang could no longer restrain his cries of pain.
Just as Mother Fang reached the doorstep, dragging her weary body and planning to enter the house, she suddenly heard a familiar voice, frightening her until her face turned pale, and she hurriedly pushed open the yard gate and ran inside.
Shu Yu was just in the yard, seeing her carrying food and almost tripping, quickly stepped forward to steady her.
“Are you alright?”
Mother Fang looked up and saw a strange girl, and hearing Father Fang’s screams from the room, her mind went blank and her whole body started shaking, “Who are you? What have you done to my family?”
Shu Yu hadn’t even responded when Xiyue, hearing the commotion, rushed out and quickly supported her mother, explaining, “Mother, this is my friend, Lady Lu.”
“You, your friend? And inside…”
“Mother, inside is the doctor treating father. Father’s injury is very severe, so the treatment process is quite painful, please don’t worry.”
Though she told her not to worry, Xiyue’s eyes were actually red.
Compared to Mother Fang who had just returned, she had already been listening for a while.
That sound of pain, like it was striking her heart, made her whole body feel cold.
Mother Fang finally understood and let out a sigh of relief, leaning on Xiyue so as not to collapse.
Then, very embarrassed, she said to Shu Yu, “Miss, I misunderstood you earlier, I am sorry.”
“It’s okay, I see you’re very tired, let me help you rest aside.”
“Thank you.”
Mother Fang was indeed very tired, not just physically, but also under immense mental pressure.
Her husband was seriously injured, her daughter forced into the dangerous woods to hunt, and she, helpless, could only live her days in a daze, it would be strange if she weren’t tired.
Xiyue supported Mother Fang to rest aside, also taking the opportunity to explain about Shu Yu and the doctor.
Knowing the girl she had misunderstood was such a big help to her family, Mother Fang quickly got up again to thank her.
Meanwhile, the room door made a noise, and Zhao Xi came out from the house.
The Fang mother and daughter hurried forward to inquire, “Doctor, how is my father now?”
