Chapter 79: Heart Racing (2) Revised

  "Get a piece of clean cloth and some clean water!" Liu Meng shouted to Cheng Yu, he didn't have an emergency kit so he could only use the clean water to rinse the wound and then wrap it with the clean cloth.

  "Yes!" Nodding her head, Cheng Yu then brought over a piece of cloth and a helmet full of clear water.

  The water was very clear, it should be the mountain spring here. At this time, the water in Huainan could be drunk directly, but Liu Mang frowned at the cloth. Is this a clean cloth? Although it was white cloth, now it has been wrapped in black, only from the faint whiteness can we know that it was originally a white cloth.

  The whole thing is covered in mud, even if it's dirty, can't be like this! Wrapping with this cloth is to infect or what?!

  "Change into a new one!" Liu Mang threw away that tattered cloth.

  "Yes!" Cheng Yu handed over another piece of cloth, this one slightly better than the previous one, but still not suitable for bandaging, let alone wiping the wound, and even wiping the skin would be considered dirty.

  "Change it again!" Liu Mang threw it out once more, this time even filthier than the last two times. Just as Liu Mang was about to throw it out again, Cheng Yu cried out with a sorrowful face.

  "General, there's no more clean cloth left, this is the best I can do. If you tear it again, I'll have nothing to wear!" Liu Mang only then noticed that the clean cloth Cheng Yu had torn was all from his own sleeves, he had already torn off the cleanest parts and if he continued to tear, he would really have to go back naked.

  "Whatever! Big men don't even know how to clean up!" Liu Meng also felt helpless, he had fought with the fierce tiger today, so his body was dirtier than the rain, and could only make do with the cleaning cloth handed over by Cheng Yu.

  "Use mine!" said the sister, He Yue, who was standing beside her. Although they were dirty compared to girls, they were absolutely clean compared to these old men.

  "Good!" The two sisters were both dressed in white silk clothes, which could also be used as bandages and were much better than those dirty rags.

  Liu Meng took the white silk cloth from He Yue and said to the two sisters, "Follow me!" He led the two sisters under a large tree. Although it was just to help clean their wounds, there were many men around, so they couldn't possibly clean a girl's wound in public view.

  The big tree just blocked everyone's line of sight.

  Just now, Liu Mang didn't realize how deep the wound was until he got closer. He thought it was just a normal scratch from a tree branch that only damaged the skin and flesh, maybe seeing some bone. Who would have thought that it had already exposed the bone?

  Although women's muscles are not as developed as men's, they also consist of muscle tissue. Now, Qiao Yu's muscles have been torn apart by the branch, and bones, branch fragments, and torn muscles are mixed together. Every movement may hurt her bones.

  What a wound! Liu Mang couldn't help but glance at He Yu, this kind of wound would make even a big man scream in pain, but Qiao Yu just grunted twice and kept saying it was nothing.

  She really is a pampered young lady! Thinking of this, Liu Mang's heart softened and he said in a low voice, "I'm only good at bandaging, but I'm not skilled, it might hurt, bear with it!"

  "Hmm!" He Yu nodded heavily.

  Liu Mang helped the He sisters treat their wounds. The two little tigers were handed over to Cheng Yu, along with a pile of prey.

  "You, and you, take them away first! Let people deal with these prey first, and wait for the general to go back before distributing them!" Liu Mang had always been considerate of his soldiers, so every time he hunted, he would distribute the prey among the troops. If there was a lot of meat, everyone would get some; if not, they would put it together to make soup, one bowl per person, and drink happily.

  Liu Mang started by cleaning the wound, carefully dripping clean water onto the wound. The water washed away the dirt and grime that had accumulated on the wound, as well as the dust.

  Until Liu Mang washed the wound until it was a bit pale, he stopped. The dirty blood was completely washed away, and since He Yu's injury did not hit the main artery, Liu Mang dared to wash it like this. If it had hit the main artery, even Liu Mang would have been at a loss.

  Rinsing with clean water over normal skin doesn't feel painful at all, but rather refreshing. However, when rinsing a wound, it's different. The damaged cells and exposed nerve endings make the pain unbearable, and the sensation is only known to those who have experienced it. It's absolutely no less stimulating than using alcohol.

  Liu Mang saw He Yu's lips turn pale, but she still didn't make a sound.

  Next is to clean up the debris inside, He Yu was scratched by branches and fell down, because in the wound there were not only branch fragments but also small stones, weeds, these things must be cleaned out, otherwise they will definitely get infected, this era does not have penicillin, once inflamed, the consequences are unthinkable.

  "I'm going to pull them out!" Liu Mang told He Yu, giving her a mental preparation. Some of the stone chips and wood shavings had already been embedded in the flesh, pressed tightly by the muscles and skin, making it impossible to wash them away with clear water. And that was exactly what Liu Mang intended to do - insert his fingers into the wound to pull out those fragments.

  Liu Mang's hand was placed on the wound, using his fingers to apply tension and open up a small gap that allowed two of his fingers to pass through. This action might cause secondary damage to the wound, so Liu Mang was extremely cautious. However, despite this, blood still flowed out from the wound.

  "Ah!" He Yue cried out in fright at the sight of the flowing blood.

  "Shut up!" Liu Mang scolded He Yue in a loud voice, because he let his attention wander and his hand became heavier, Liu Mang could clearly feel He Yu's painful tremble.

  If the time spent washing the wound was doubled, then clearing these fragments took Liu Mang five times as long, during which He Yu endured unbearable pain, her silver teeth biting her lip almost to the point of bleeding, and cold sweat poured from her forehead, even affecting Liu Mang who also suffered along with her.

  Because unknowingly, He Yu's jade-like hands had tightly grasped Liu Mang's thigh, making Liu Mang truly uncomfortable. Big sister, can't you be gentler?

  However, He Yu was injured, so Liu Mao didn't bother to make a big deal out of it.

  "Ah!" Liu Mang finally let out a sigh of relief, having cleaned up. His hands were now stained red with blood, and He Yu's face had lost all its color, but at least the cleanup was done!

  Medicine is not available now, it will be applied after reaching the big account, what is needed now is bandaging the wound.

  But wrapping the wound made Liu Mang hesitant, he was holding a white silk cloth not a band-aid, and this wound was too big to be covered by a band-aid, so it couldn't be simply stuck on, what was needed was to wrap around the wound in a circle.

  The wound is above the chest, and now it must be wrapped around the chest in order to wrap up the entire wound.

  When cleaning the wound, it is not necessary to go through the chest, but bandaging is different, and in order to bandage, you must take off half of your top.

  "This!" Men and women do not make contact, previously cleaning the wound was fine, just a normal place, only two fingers, but now bandaging is annoying, need to take off the top shirt, expose the chest, from under the arm, in order to completely wrap the wound inside.

  Liu Mang could tell that these two women were both young ladies waiting to be married, or as commonly referred to, maidens. You ask Liu Mang how he knew? It was evident from the Gu Gong Sha on their arms.

  Two unmarried women, are they supposed to let a strange man see her private parts? Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times it's impossible. In modern times, there can be female doctors for bandaging, but there aren't any in Liu Mang's army, so everything has to rely on him.

  "Sorry! Saving lives is urgent!" Liu Mang said a word of apology to the two sisters, his arms wrapped around Qiao Yu from behind, straightened her back, and his hands slid from the back of her collar to her chest, exerting a sudden force.

  "What are you doing?!" He Yu was already in so much pain that he could hardly react, but He Yue was full of energy and shouted loudly when she saw Liu Mang's actions.

  Liu Mang had already undone He Yu's clothes, and two kinds of white appeared. One was the white of He Yu's bellyband, and the other was the pure white of He Yu's skin.

  Liu Mang still didn't stop, and also stripped off that white bellyband.

  "Deng Tu Zi, Deng Tu Zi! What do you want to do with my sister? I'll fight it out with you!" He Yue's voice grew even louder, affecting Cheng Yu and the others on the other side.

  "General?!" Cheng Yu asked in confusion, had something happened?! Although Cheng Yu was curious, he didn't go forward to investigate because Liu Mang hadn't spoken up.

  "Ahh!" It was He Yue's scream again. "Don't come over, don't come over! If you take another step, I'll call for help! Help! Help!"

  "Really?!" Cheng Yu's mouth twitched, did the general want to... in this forest?!
