He tried to catch his breath, then looked at Lu Chimo: "Dr. Lu, please continue..."
His voice was trembling; if he hadn't been trying so hard to hold it in, he probably wouldn't have been able to make a sound at all.
After he finished speaking, he tried to reach for the handkerchief to continue biting it, but his right hand seemed to have left his own and wouldn't obey him at all.
Seeing this, Lu Chimo quickly took a clean handkerchief, carefully rolled it up for him, and then held it to his mouth.
Su Fuliu opened her mouth and bit the handkerchief again.
"Young Master Su, please hold on a little longer."
"Hmm..." Because she was biting her handkerchief, Su Fuliu's "hmm" turned into "hmm".
Looking at the usually frail Su Fuliu, Lu Chimo couldn't help but feel admiration. Even he himself might not be able to endure such pain.
Despite her frail body, Su Fuliu had endured such excruciating pain twice.
It is evident that even the most gentle person can possess a strong heart.
Su Fuliu's will is no weaker than anyone else's.
No, it should be said that Su Fuliu is stronger and braver than all of them.
They look very brave, but if they were to encounter the same thing as Su Fuliu, they might not be able to do as well as Su Fuliu.
How could Xiao Shixun bear to hurt such a gentle and kind person as Xiao Shijing?
Lu Chimo took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distractions, concentrated, and once again picked up the willow leaf knife and heated it over the candle flame.
He waited until the scalpel was red-hot before saying, "Young Master Su, it's coming."
Su Fuliu closed her eyes and clenched her teeth.
Lu Chimo used a red-hot willow-leaf knife to cut open the skin and flesh in front of his left shoulder, and only stopped when he could see the black and white thing.
Then he soaked his hands in strong liquor.
The action was the same as before, the only difference being that, having the experience of taking the previous pipa hook, Lu Chimo had a better idea of what to do when taking this pipa hook.
In this way, the time spent will be shorter, and Su Fuliu will suffer less.
However, when Lu Chimo's hand, stained with strong liquor, reached into Su Fuliu's flesh to search for the pipa hook, the burning pain almost made Su Fuliu die from the agony.
His right hand was temporarily numb and he couldn't grip the mattress, so he could only tense his legs and try his best to endure the excruciating pain.
As a result, he cramped up his calf from overexertion, but he couldn't care less.
Normally, the pain of leg cramps would be unbearable, but compared to the pain of removing the ligament hook, this pain was nothing.
Su Fuliu bit down hard on his handkerchief, the pain so intense that he couldn't help but let out a painful whimper. Although his eyes were tightly closed, tears still managed to squeeze out, mingling with the cold sweat covering his face.
Although it took less time to remove the pipa hook this time than before, Su Fuliu had already endured excruciating pain once, and his body had not yet recovered from the pain when he was suddenly plunged into a new round of pain. The kind of pain that ordinary people could not bear caused his whole body to spasm.
Lu Chimo frowned and said, "Your Highness, please come and hold Young Master Su down. With him convulsing like this, I can't remove the pipa hook, and I won't be able to stitch up the wound properly later."
Chapter 385 I cried
Feng Muting had seen all sorts of life-or-death situations, but when Lu Chimo told him to go and hold down Su Fuliu, he became afraid.
He felt his head buzzing, and looking at Su Fuliu, whose whole body was convulsing, his own body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Seeing that Feng Muting was not moving, Lu Chimo called out again, "Your Highness, come quickly and hold him down, don't let him convulse anymore!"
Feng Muting finally snapped out of his shock and rushed over. Looking at Su Fuliu, who was convulsing, he asked in a trembling voice, "I... what should I do..."
“Go to the bed, sit on his lap, and hold his hands down,” Lu Chimo replied.
Upon hearing this, Feng Muting immediately climbed onto the bed and, as Lu Chimo had instructed, sat on Su Fuliu's lap. He then reached out and pressed down on Su Fuliu's hands to restrain him and prevent him from continuing to convulse.
Although pressing down on Su Fuliu still caused some twitching, the amplitude was not as large as before, so Lu Chimo could continue to take the pipa hook.
Su Fuliu knew that Feng Muting was suppressing him. His eyes, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened. He was still biting the handkerchief tightly, but he couldn't control his convulsing body. He knew he would be in a very sorry state.
As soon as he opened his eyes, tears streamed down his face like a burst dam.
He was afraid that Feng Muting would feel a little disgusted if he saw him like this, but what he saw was Feng Muting clenching his teeth, his expression just as painful as his, as if Lu Chimo was removing the pipa hook from Feng Muting's body and it was Feng Muting who was in pain.
Moreover, if his tears were like a flood bursting its banks, then Feng Muting's tears were like the waters of the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens. This Feng Muting actually cried even harder than him, and his tears fell even more fiercely than his.
This is no longer the volatile prince who struck fear into the hearts of everyone...
Su Fuliu knew that if she didn't care to the extreme, how could she make such a big man cry like this for her?
Lu Chimo finally managed to remove the pipa hook and breathed a sigh of relief, while Su Fuliu fainted from the pain once again.
Su Fuliu, who had fainted, naturally stopped convulsing. Lu Chimo then told Feng Muting to get down, and only then did he notice that Feng Muting had been crying uncontrollably for a long time.
However, he didn't look at it too much, lest he embarrass Feng Muting.
After letting out a soft sigh, he quickly took Su Fuliu's pulse. Once he confirmed that Su Fuliu had simply fainted, he put the pipa hook aside, picked up the curved needle and suture, and focused his attention once again to begin stitching up Su Fuliu's wound.
Feng Muting stood aside, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and continued to stand there watching Su Fuliu.
After Lu Chimo finished stitching up the wound, Bai Yulang also prepared the medicine and brought it over. Looking at the unconscious Su Fuliu, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He pouted, feeling like crying.
Lu Chimo used silver needles again to wake Su Fuliu from her unconsciousness, because he would later use his internal energy to sever the tendons in Su Fuliu's shoulders.
At this moment, Su Fuliu lay there, her face deathly pale, looking like a broken puppet.
"Ah Liu!" Feng Muting rushed over, sat on the edge of the bed, and after helping Su Fuliu take the handkerchief out of her mouth, he burst into tears without regard for his image. This time, he couldn't hold back and cried out loud.
Previously, he had been hesitant to cry out loud because Lu Chimo was present, and also because he was afraid of disturbing Lu Chimo. But now, seeing Su Fuliu wake up, he could no longer control his emotions.
"Tinglang..." Su Fuliu was very weak, and his voice was very soft. He had to squeeze out the strength to say just two words. He was in a lot of pain, but seeing Feng Muting crying like this for him made him feel even more distressed.
He lay there completely unable to move, his hands seemingly gone, so he couldn't even wipe away Feng Muting's tears.
Just then, another wail was heard. Lu Chimo turned his head and saw Bai Yulang also wailing loudly: "Waaaaah, look how much my Brother Liu is hurting! Brother Liu, it doesn't hurt. With Senior Brother here, it will stop hurting soon, waaaaah..."
Chapter 386 This Pain Is Finally Over
Lu Chimo gently tugged at Bai Yulang's hand: "Yulang, why... are you crying too?"
Bai Yulang cried as he said, "It breaks my heart to see Brother Liu being tortured like this, sob sob sob, it hurts so much here in my heart."
Lu Chimo knew that although Bai Yulang had no memories of the past, he was related to Su Fuliu by blood and they were brothers, so he would naturally feel sorry for Su Fuliu.
He gently patted Bai Yulang's chest: "Alright, alright, it doesn't hurt anymore. Your brother Liu has already overcome the most difficult hurdle. Next, your senior brother will help him sever his tendons. You should quickly feed him the medicine, and then your senior brother will treat him with the Xuan Yin Acupuncture Technique. He will be fine then."
Bai Yulang nodded: "I know, but I can't help feeling sorry for him. Brother Liu is so frail, yet he has endured the most painful pain in the world. That Xiao Shixun is a real scoundrel."
"Alright, Yulang, don't cry anymore. Once today is over, Young Master Su won't be in pain anymore," Lu Chimo comforted him.
"Um."
Then, Lu Chimo walked over and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, Young Master Su will only suffer two more blows..."
Feng Muting composed himself, nodded slightly, and then stood up and moved to the side.
Looking at Su Fuliu's pale face, Lu Chimo really couldn't bring himself to do it. But they had already come this far. Su Fuliu had endured the pain of digging out the pipa hook, and he believed that she could also endure the pain of severing tendons and veins.
"Young Master Su, please bear with it."
Su Fuliu nodded slightly without making a sound.
It's already a miracle that he's alive.
He knew that if he just held on a little longer, things would be fine.
Lu Chimo gently adjusted his breathing, then circulated his inner energy and struck Su Fuliu's shoulders with a palm strike each. His wounds, which had been painstakingly stitched up, began to bleed again.
Su Fuliu groaned, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth.
Upon seeing this, Bai Yulang immediately took the medicine bowl and went over: "Senior brother, medicine."
Lu Chimo quickly took the medicine bowl, and Feng Muting came over to help Su Fuliu up, letting Su Fuliu lean on his shoulder so that Lu Chimo could feed him the medicine.
Before he could even wipe the blood from Su Fuliu's mouth, Lu Chimo quickly fed him the medicine.
The bitter medicine, mixed with the taste of blood, flowed down his throat. Su Fuliu only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the bowl was empty, and then fainted in Feng Muting's arms.
"Ah Liu..." Feng Muting felt so bad that he was going crazy when he saw that he had fainted again.
These torments are finally over.
Su Fuliu no longer had to faint and be forcibly awakened.
He gently put Su Fuliu down, waiting for Lu Chimo to come and treat Su Fuliu's bleeding wounds again, and then he would perform the Xuan Yin Acupuncture Technique on Su Fuliu.
So after putting Su Fuliu down, he consciously stood aside, still watching Lu Chimo treat Su Fuliu intently.
It got dark in no time.
This ordeal is finally over.
Feng Muting bowed to Lu Chimo and sincerely thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Lu."
Lu Chimo quickly cupped his hands in reply, "Your Highness is too kind. A simple thank you is enough for someone of your status. There is no need for such formality; it is an honor for me."
“No, it is only right. Putting aside our status, this bow is necessary for A-Liu’s sake.” Feng Muting’s expression was very serious.
"Your Highness has gone to great lengths for Young Master Su." Lu Chimo looked at Feng Muting, whose eyes were full of Su Fuliu. If there really was a way to suffer in someone else's place, Feng Muting would definitely not hesitate to take the torment for Su Fuliu.
Chapter 387 Even if he's stupid, he's still your man
Feng Muting shook his head slightly: "Dr. Lu has worked very hard today. Go back to your room and rest early. If you need anything, just tell the people in your household."
“Alright, I’ll take my leave now. If Young Master Su feels unwell, please feel free to come and find me,” Lu Chimo replied.
"Um."
Afterwards, Lu Chimo took Bai Yulang back to the guest room to rest. He had been busy all day and his mind had been highly focused and tense, so he was indeed tired after relaxing.
Seeing how hard he was working, Bai Yulang felt a pang of sympathy: "Senior brother, you've suffered so much."
Lu Chimo smiled and patted his head: "It's alright. Young Master Su only needs to rest now and will recover quickly. Yulang doesn't need to worry."
Bai Yulang pouted and hugged him, saying, "Senior brother is so good. I really like senior brother so much."
"Senior brother likes you so much, you silly little thing." After Lu Chimo finished speaking, he sighed softly, "Alright, senior brother is going to take a bath and change his clothes. Yulang, why don't you sit by yourself for a while?"
"No, I want to stay with my senior brother. I'll do whatever he does." Bai Yulang had no intention of letting go.
