Chapter 65: A Life Hanging by a Thread

  But as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xu's eyes turned black and he fainted again!

  Just as Cao Cao's army rushed to the edge of the big camp, Zhou Zhi was originally in a state of extreme grief and indignation. Suddenly hearing Wang Xu's words, he almost fell off his horse on the spot!

  Cao Cao, who was riding alongside him, also burst out laughing. Seeing that Wang Xu was unharmed, he scanned the crowd with a glance and immediately urged his horse to gallop back to the main army. In the blink of an eye, he led the troops in a swift and fierce charge into the Yellow Turban camp!

  Xu Shu also reacted at the same time as Wang Xu's shout, and in her concern, she was confused, and she even forgot to distinguish whether Wang Xu was dead or not.

  Seeing Wang Xu still had a breath left, his heart could no longer hold anything else, and he immediately launched emergency rescue! The nearby Xu Huan and the brave warriors also quickly surrounded him.

  "General Xu, how is General Wang's injury?" Seeing Xu Shu hastily removing Wang Guang's armor, Xu Huang couldn't help but ask.

  Xu Shu's tears flowed continuously as she didn't rush to answer Xu Huan's question. It wasn't until she took off Wang Xu's armor and examined it that she spoke in a tearful tone, "It's very serious! He has three severe arrow wounds all over his body, multiple lacerations, and if we don't stop the bleeding in time, I don't know how long he can hold on. Especially the arrow wound on his back, when he fell, the arrow shaft was completely pressed in. Fortunately, the arrow on his chest was blocked by the fish-scale armor plate and didn't penetrate too deeply, otherwise, he really wouldn't have made it."

  While speaking, Xu Shu's hands didn't slow down either. She quickly tore Wang Xu's clothes into strips and used them to dress the wound and stop the bleeding. However, since she had no tools for treating arrow wounds, she dared not move recklessly. All she could do was use the cloth strips as a temporary substitute for a tourniquet to reduce blood loss. Afterwards, she raised his arm high and pressed down on the upper part of his chest.

  In short, after a flurry of activity for half a day, Xu Shu used all the hemostatic methods he knew.

  Wait until she finishes, Xu Huan shook his head and said: "The wound is still bleeding, the speed of stopping bleeding like this is relatively slow, I have a better way!"

  After finishing, in Xu Shu's suspicious gaze, he let out a breath and started to operate his inner strength on Wang Xu's body, continuously pressing multiple acupoints. Then, he strangely scratched around the wound on Wang Xu's body. But what was strange was that the bleeding speed actually decreased significantly, with an extremely obvious effect!

  Seeing this, Xu Huan finally let out a sigh of relief and said: "I've already sealed several acupoints on him and used internal energy to block the flow of blood around the wound. This should prevent any major problems! If you're still worried, we can heat up our weapons and cauterize the edges of the wound. Not only will this stop the bleeding, but it'll also prevent infection! However, the most important thing is to get back to the Long Society immediately and treat the wound as soon as possible with hemostatic ointment."

  Xu Shu saw the miraculous hemostatic effect, and her eyes widened with surprise. She didn't have time to be amazed at this method of stopping bleeding, and immediately ordered everyone to lift up Wang Xu in the best posture and hurry back to Changsha.

  Just dismounting, Zhou Zhi hadn't even squeezed into the middle when he saw Wang Xu being carried away. Unaware of the situation, he immediately started shouting: "Brother, what's going on with my old boss? He was still full of energy and shouted just now, how come he's being carried away again? Is he pretending to be dead?"

  Xu Huan happened to be nearby and saw him jumping up and down behind the crowd, shouting loudly. Unfamiliar with Zhou Zhi's temperament, he immediately spoke out in anger: "General Wang fought desperately to escape, fortunately still having a breath of life left, why do you still want to humiliate him like this?"

  "Uh..."

  Looking at the ferocious Xuhuang, Zhou Zhi suddenly shrank his head and smiled reluctantly. But in order to show his good intentions, he turned his eyes and pointed to his horse: "Help my elder brother onto the horse, it's faster to take him back with a horse!"

  But as soon as these words came out, other warriors who had not responded to him before also turned back, with anger in their eyes!

  "Do you want to commit murder? How can you stand the jolting of a horse with serious injuries? What if the wound bursts open?"

  Poor Zhou Zhongben had good intentions, but under the angry gaze of everyone, he didn't dare to speak again. However, his heart was worried about Wang Xu's injury, so he could only pull his head back in distress and lead his horse tightly behind the crowd!

  Wang Xu was seriously injured this time and was rescued by Xu Shu and several military doctors in a timely manner, and he managed to save his life, but he slept for a whole day...

  He slightly opened his heavy eyelids, and Wang Xu's pale face licked his dry lips, wanting to move but finding that he couldn't exert any strength. In a daze, he groggily said: "Water! Is there anyone? Give me some water..."

  Soon, he faintly heard Xu Shu's crying sound in his ears, followed by the cheers and chaotic footsteps of countless people!

  But Wang Xu didn't have the energy to care about these things, his mind was a complete blank. When he felt the faint coolness beside his dry, cracked lips, he slightly opened his mouth.

  After swallowing for a while, Wang Xu felt that his body seemed to be much more comfortable, and he closed his mouth contentedly. But the heavy feeling of fatigue came again, and his already dizzy eyes unknowingly closed lightly...

  Another two days have passed in sleep!

  When Wang Xu regained consciousness again, he was able to feel his own existence, and his mind gradually recalled the events that had occurred before.

  Quietly recalling for a while, after understanding the cause and effect, Wang Xu slowly opened his eyes!

  But just as I opened them, a strong light suddenly flashed before me, and my eyes involuntarily closed again.

  "Is anyone there? Help me close the windows and doors, it's too bright!"

  Wang Xu's weak voice suddenly made the two people who were whispering in the hall stunned, and then they stood up with excitement.

  Gao Shun didn't say another word and turned to close the doors and windows, while Zhou Zhi rushed straight to the bedside, laughing loudly: "Boss, you're finally awake!"

  Hearing Zhou Zhi's voice, Wang Xu couldn't help but narrow his eyes, feeling that the light wasn't so strong anymore, and slowly opened them.

  After taking a look around, Zhou Zhiwei smiled excitedly at him: "You care about me too!"

  "Cut! Boss, what are you talking about? I, Zhou Zhi, am the most sentimental person in history! You don't know, that day when Huangfu Song sent me to contact Cao Cao, I immediately brought the army back at the first time. Hearing the sad roar of my sister-in-law, I was so sorrowful at that time, tears gushed out and flowed out, almost crying myself dry, then..."

  "Stop! No one would believe what you're saying, don't waste my precious energy!" Wang Xu's body was sore all over, but his spirit was still good, only his voice was a bit weak.

  Zhou Zhi's words were cut off, and he suddenly looked wronged, blinking his eyes pitifully at Wang Xu. Gao Shun, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but chuckle and say: "General Wang, this time Zhou Zhi didn't lie, I heard that the little guy's angry roar back then shook the entire hall!"

  "Really?"

  Jian Wang Xu looked at himself with doubt, Zhou Zhi immediately patted his chest and said: "That's it! At that time, I let out a loud roar, and instantly made the tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans turn around and run away. The scene was really impressive!"

  Zhou Zhi started bragging again, and Gao Shun immediately glared at him, walked over and gave him a severe scolding: "You little brat, I just helped you with two sentences, and you're already getting arrogant. If you have the ability to drink away tens of thousands of troops, then you won't need me as your master!"

  Scolded by Gao Shun, Zhou Zhi didn't dare to argue back. He rubbed his own head and muttered in a wronged tone: "I just said two sentences, why do you guys hit my head every time? Is it very pleasant to hit my head?"

  "This is what you get for yourself, always speaking without reserve, when it comes to doing things, you're nowhere to be found, but bragging and showing off, that's something you're good at!"

  Thanks to Zhou Zhi's antics, Wang Xu's mood improved a lot. A faint smile appeared on his pale face, and he didn't bother with Gao Shun's education of Zhou Zhi anymore, instead lowering his head to look at Xue Shu who was still sleeping soundly by the bedside.

  Although she didn't understand why Xu Shu had completely restored her feminine attire, at this moment she looked exceptionally weak! Although she was asleep, her white eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her closed eyes were abnormally red and swollen. Even those long and curly eyelashes weren't as noticeable as before. Her delicate face also had obvious tear stains, and it didn't have the usual elasticity and luster. The haggard look really made Wang Xu's heart ache!

  Off went the cold armor, Xu Shu was after all just a girl!

  Thinking of this, Wang Xu couldn't help but let out a faint sigh and gently stroked that head of black shiny long hair...
