Chapter 60: Chapter 62: Reviving the Dead with Flesh and Bone Chapter 60: Chapter 62: Reviving the Dead with Flesh and Bone Qin Liuxi straightened up, looking toward the anxious Xi Zheng, and said, “Be careful not to stretch the wound, otherwise it will have to be stitched again. When he wakes up, even using Powder for Anesthesia will be painful, and you won’t be able to stitch as neatly as I did.”
Xi Zheng and Qi Qian shuddered unconsciously upon hearing this, turning their gazes toward the boy on the bed.
Watching the boy in pain, they too felt discomfort as if the needle and thread were moving on their own bodies.
“Then, will he still die?”
Qin Liuxi proudly declared, “The person I snatched from the hands of Black and White Impermanence will not just die like that.”
As she spoke, her gaze unintentionally swept across the foot of the bed, her lips curling up provocatively.
Qi Qian noticed it and instinctively looked over, but there was nothing there, so whom was she looking at?
Qin Liuxi averted her gaze and naturally did not tell them that a well-known Ghost Messenger, after watching for quite a while, huffed off indignantly.
Ah, rescuing someone has hindered their performance, necessitating appeasement, hence a need to stack up a few more gleaming ingots.
Xi Zheng, feeling somewhat sensitive, rubbed his arms, ignoring the chill in the room, knelt in front of Qin Liuxi, and kowtowed three times: “This servant thanks the noble son for saving my life.”
Qin Liuxi said, “Stop kowtowing, you should also tend to your injuries. Here is some golden sore medicine.”
She handed over a small bottle of golden sore medicine.
Qi Qian felt a pang of envy. He had just seen Qin Liuxi administering stitches and medicine, and the wound had quickly stopped bleeding, proving the medicine was much stronger than ordinary ones.
Xi Zheng hesitated for a moment before accepting it, then thanked her again.
Qin Liuxi signaled Chen Pi to pack up and walked out.
Qi Qian followed two steps behind. Seeing Qin Liuxi had left, he checked the boy’s pulse by the bed and observed his steady breathing, thinking that the rumors were indeed true – without seeking a Daoist doctor, one could revive the dead and mend broken bones.
Just a moment ago, the boy had been hanging on by a mere breath, but after Qin Liuxi administered medicine and treated the wound, his breathing stabilized, and his pulse was even.
Qi Qian gave Xi Zheng a deep look and said, “You’re quite lucky.”
Xi Zheng was startled.
As Qi Qian left, she immediately rushed to the bedside, checked her brother’s breathing, felt his pulse, and finding both stable, her tears flowed freely.
Pingzi also entered and seeing this, his heart skipped a beat, fearing the young master’s condition had worsened.
Xi Zheng wiped her tears and said, “Brother Ping, Ling is alright, don’t worry.”
Pingzi was overjoyed: “Really?”
Xi Zheng nodded, “We’ve encountered a noble person.” She handed over the golden sore medicine, “This is the medicine the gentleman gave, quickly apply it Brother Ping.”
“The servant’s injuries are not serious, but Miss you…”
“I only have superficial wounds, this medicine seems very valuable, you use it, Ling still needs your care.” Xi Zheng did not miss the look of jealousy and envy in Qi Qian’s eyes when he stared at her medicine.
Hearing her words, Pingzi felt tense but dared not say anything, choosing instead to step out and tend to his own wounds first.
Xi Zheng held her little brother’s hand, rubbed her face against it, then turned around upon hearing footsteps behind her, only to see Chen Pi, roughly the same age as her brother, holding some clothes.
“These were sent by our master, bought from a local farm. They’ve been worn by others but are the best available and have been washed clean, certainly better than what you are wearing now.”
Xi Zheng glanced at her own blood-stained, tattered clothes. With pursed lips, she bowed to Chen Pi, “I thank you and the master for the consideration, I will personally thank the master later.”
