Chapter 306 Surgery and Sedation.
Lang Hui's injuries were very serious, his internal organs were badly damaged like something really heavy has been thrown on his body. Even with her spiritual powers, Yu Dong was having a hard time controlling the bleeding.
" Here! I have brought the hot water." Ye Liu was the first to arrive with Shen Li who was closely following behind with a pile of neatly washed clothes.
" Clean his injuries properly and tell me if there are any festered wounds," said Yu Dong as she continued instilling her spiritual energy in the Lang Hui's body, a thin coat of sweat forming on her forehead. Her eyes carefully assessing Lang Hui's condition—- intestines crushed and internally bleeding, a sharp diagonal cut under the abdomen and a nail were still stuck on his back—— Shit! Even if she tried to make it as painless as possible the child would still have to suffer.
She raised her head and looked at Shen Li with an anxious expression. " Li, go and bring me a needle, a knife and a burning candle." Then she swiftly glanced at Ye Liu as she tipped her head at the cabinet behind Ye Liu. " In the first drawer, there is a box of novel medicines that I bought from the western merchants, quick bring it out."As she took the wet cloth from Ye Liu and started wiping Lang Hui's body, the more she wiped the more she realised just how worse the child's injuries were, Yu Dong's felt her heartache and Lang who could finally see her son's injury felt even worse. She couldn't understand what kind of torture the Zhu family inflicted on her son that he was so badly hurt.
Behind him Zhu Qian was staring at his son with a blank expression on his face—— This was his son, his son whom he carried in his womb for more than eight months and gave birth to after fourteen hours of labour pain. His son was a mer but never did he or Lang treat him any worse than Ruru, whatever his daughter had, his son would definitely have that as well. In all fairness, it could be said that his wife and he have doted on Hui'er who was born with a frail and sickly beauty, this was why they sent him to the Zhu family because they were worried that he would be bullied if he went with them.
He believed that as long as he sent a decent sum of money to his family they will treat his son well—— no, he should have been doubtful from the very start. His family wasn't greedy but his parents did treat mer and daughters differently, even though it was only slightly there was a difference between how he and his sisters were treated, so why? Why didn't he go back and see for himself, how his son was being treated? It was his fault—- if something happened to his son then it will be all his fault.
Zhu Qian swayed and fell to the floor with a loud thump.
" Qian'er!"
" Daddy!"
Lang and Lang Ru were stunned by the sudden loud thump and when they turned to look behind them, they saw Zhu Qian on the floor with silent tears flowing down his cheeks. Lang hurriedly helped her husband up, " Qian'er don't worry. Our …Our son will be fine, Sister Dong will treat him, just you see, he will be back on his feet in no time."
Though Lang was saying these words, her voice and hands were trembling the entire time. She could see that her son's injuries were too severe and with these injuries, only a miracle can save her son. But she was the head of her family, she couldn't break, she couldn't cry and she damn near can't let her family break either, she has to stand tall and firm and support her daughter and husband like an old strong tree that wouldn't be shaken by even the thunder and lightning.
Zhu Qian said nothing he simply leaned against his wife and cried with his shoulders shaking and his entire body quivering like a leaf in violent winds. Hui'er will be upon his feet in on time? Heh, he might be naive but he wasn't a fool.
Shen Li rushed out of the room while Ye Liu hopped out of the bed and rummaged through the first drawer to look for the box that Yu Dong was talking about. They have seen it before, one time when Chen Mi mistakenly cut his finger while cooking Yu Dong has taken out the box and showed them its novel content. The medicine and the sprays in the bottles were magical, it numbed the pain as for the sticky bandages they didn't even fall off when they worked in water, it was simply incredible.
" Here it is," said Ye Liu as he picked the heavy box from the drawer and gave it to Yu Dong.
Yu Dong took the box from Ye Liu and handed him the task of wiping Lang Hui's body. " His lower body is injured as well, you clean that."
As a woman, she couldn't touch Lang Hui's and could only hand the task to Ye Liu.
Ye Liu nodded. " I get it."
While Ye Liu was wiping Lang Hui, Yu Dong took out an injection to administer anaesthesia. In the apocalypse it was common for people to get injured and so was carrying decent medical equipment in their space, Yu Dong has taken out a few things from her space and put them in a box in case of emergency, luckily this first aid box came in handy today.
She injected Lang Hui making sure that he was properly sedated once he fell unconscious, Shen Li who was responsible for bringing a clean knife and candle rushed inside. " Here, I brought everything that you asked me."
Yu Dong nodded and took the knife from his hand and lit the candle before heating the sharp blade. " Turn him over, there is a nail stuck in his back, I have to scrape it out."
