Tie San didn’t say another word and led Gu Tong forward. The place he chose was within the bandits’ encirclement, on one hand to ensure Gu Tong’s safety, and on the other to prevent any problems from arising for him. It was killing two birds with one stone.
He put a lot of effort into not being criticized by Chuan Er for improper arrangements.
He had no idea how long they had walked before they finally arrived at the doorway of a residence. On the surface, it looked like a civilian residence, but in reality, it held a lot of secrets.
As the door was pushed open, the bandit hideout’s atmosphere was very palpable; the courtyard’s tables were laden with wine bottles, canned goods, cigarette butts, and so on, looking cluttered and disorderly.
Of course, the place was mostly laden with equipment, given that they were weapons dealers, so naturally, such items were not lacking.
"Miss Xue Tong, you can stay here. If there are any problems, you can contact the people in the adjacent courtyard! They will resolve your issues."
Tie San dropped this line and was about to leave; his hand was in excruciating pain, and if he didn’t receive urgent treatment, the problem would surely become severe.
There was a doctor in the bandits’ lair, though considered more of a Mongolian doctor, but it was better than not seeing a doctor and enduring the pain.
Gu Tong glanced at his hand, already aware of the situation. She said calmly, "If the electromagnetic wave isn’t removed, inflammation might lead to gangrene. You need to disinfect it early, avoid getting the hand wet, and don’t cover it with cloth! However, the possibility of saving your hand isn’t great."
These orderly words left Tie San momentarily stunned, and he instinctively said, "Miss Xue Tong, you understand medicine..."
"In the underworld, you need some skills to your name. Getting injured is inevitable, so you must know how to handle it yourself. I can’t cure common ailments like colds and fevers, but I know some procedures for treating external injuries, sorry for the laughter!"
Gu Tong spoke nonsense lightly, yet left no loose ends in her words.
But just this fragment of words was enough to stir Tie San’s heart, making his chest feel like it was clawed by a cat...
"Can Miss Xue Tong treat my hand?"
The bandit lair’s doctor was unreliable; it was fortunate if he didn’t kill, and Tie San was forced to consult him. But now, things were different; since Gu Tong could treat it, why should he seek treatment afar when someone close by could help? They were both under Master Wu, essentially on the same side...
"I can, but the treatment is quite troublesome."
Gu Tong furrowed her brows, showing a slight reluctance.
If she immediately agreed to Tie San, it wouldn’t seem realistic, but refusing would make Tie San more eager...
He gritted his teeth at once, disregarding his dignity, and said, "Miss Xue Tong...can you please treat my hand...I don’t want it to be useless..."
Who wouldn’t wish for a perfectly healthy body! Tie San thought the same; even though he knew Chuan Er would be angry afterward, he still wanted to act this way...
"It’s not that I don’t want to treat you, but my medical supplies are at Huang Shou’s place. Without them, I can’t treat you!"
At Huang Shou’s home...
"I’ll send someone to fetch them immediately!"
Tie San’s heart leaped with joy, seizing the hope he couldn’t afford to give up.
"Huang Shou’s home is halfway up the mountain, quite a distance back and forth. If that’s the case, your hand will be delayed."
Gu Tong analyzed reasonably and practically, but just those words were enough to darken Tie San’s face.
Though not knowing medicine, he understood the urgency; his hand’s injury was critical and couldn’t be delayed...
