Zi'an closed her eyes and endured the endless pain. She clenched her teeth so hard that her lips bled.
Everything around the arrow was tied tightly. To a certain extent, the arrow had become a part of Zi'an's body and could not move around. This also reduced the pain caused by the bumps. Qin Zhou was quite good at dealing with external injuries.
Qin Zhou felt indescribable anger and fear in her heart. She hugged Zi'an tightly with one hand, grabbed the reins with the other hand, and rode her horse up the mountain.
After finding a relatively remote and flat place, Qin Zhou stopped, flew down holding Zi'an, and then carefully placed Zi'an on the ground.
"Is that the horse I ride?" Zi'an had no strength left, but he still pointed at the horse and asked.
"Don't talk, I will heal you." Qin Zhou said.
"There is medicine for wounds in the saddle's pocket, and there is a needle in my sleeve pocket. You can use the needle to help me stop the bleeding." Zi'an said with difficulty.
Although the wound was strangled, blood was still slowly oozing out. If she didn't want to die from excessive blood loss, she had to stop the bleeding immediately.
"I... I don't know how to use a needle!" Qin Zhou took out the needle bag from her sleeve pocket, feeling a little helpless.
She was really scared. She had experienced many thrilling battles in her life, but none of them had made her so helpless and terrified.
Her heart seemed to be hanging high in the air, and the slightest sound could make her heart fall.
"I'll teach you. I'll choose the acupoints and you insert the needles!" Zi'an frowned and endured the pain.
"Okay!" Qin Zhou took a deep breath, "You are the doctor, I will listen to you."
Zi'an felt comforted by her decisiveness. At this critical moment of life and death, if Qin Zhou hesitated, it would put her life in danger.
Qin Zhou carefully undressed her. The cold mountain wind blew in. Zi An felt cold and painful. She took a breath. Qin Zhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Hold it. It will be fine soon."
Zi'an held his breath, afraid that breathing too heavily would tear the wound.
She closed her eyes, placed her fingers on her skin, and moved them slowly, fixing the middle point on the Yunmen acupoint and the tail point on the Qihu acupoint. "Insert the needle here and slowly move it in. After inserting the needle, count to thirty. After thirty, remove the needle."
Qin Zhou hummed, held the needle, and slowly inserted it.
Zi'an's skin is very delicate and his body is still very young, but his snow-white skin was stained with blood and turned scarlet.
Zi'an's fingertips touched her skin, and his fingertips were stained with blood. When he moved his fingertips away, the blood on his fingers pierced into Qin Zhou's eyes like a needle. Even though she didn't want to admit it, she knew that Zi'an was shot in order to save her.
She calmed herself down and inserted the needle. She was determined to save Xia Zian. Otherwise, if Xia Zian died, she would never be able to repay her gratitude in this lifetime.
After inserting the needle, she began to count silently to thirty in her heart, not daring to count more or less. After counting, she removed the needle.
Then start inserting the needle into the Qihu point. After inserting the needle, still count to thirty silently and then remove the needle.
Then, under Zi'an's guidance, she inserted three more needles, but Zi'an couldn't remember the needles for these three needles, so he just kept them as sealing acupoints.
Qin Zhou looked at the place where the arrow had penetrated, and the bleeding finally stopped.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but then her eyes tightened. After stopping the bleeding, she pulled out the arrow.
She had been shot by an arrow on the battlefield and knew how unbearable the pain of pulling out an arrow was.
Xia Zian looks so weak. Can she bear this kind of pain
Zi'an seemed to see through her thoughts and whispered, "Pull out the arrow."
The best thing now is to stop the bleeding and remove the arrow. The blood cannot rush out immediately.
The needles were removed half an hour later.
At that time, because the wound had been treated and bandaged, the blood would not gush out all at once.
Qin Zhou held the arrow, but he was a little hesitant to shoot.
Zi'an no longer had the energy to encourage her. Her eyes kept turning black. She weakly grabbed Qin Zhou's hand and said, "Hurry, or I'll die."
The word "death" stimulated Qin Zhou. She held the arrow and gathered her strength.
Zi'an only felt a sharp pain running through her whole body, so painful that her body almost exploded. Her eyes went dark and she fainted.
I don’t know how long I was unconscious. When I woke up, I felt indescribably cold and the wound was still painful, but this pain was nothing compared to the pain of having the arrow pulled out just now.
Qin Zhou sat next to her and lit a fire. The fire was warm, but Zi'an was still trembling all over.
"How do you feel?" Qin Zhou asked hurriedly when he saw her wake up.
"Better!" Zian said.
Qin Zhou was wearing only a thin garment. He had taken off his outer garment and tore it to bandage her body when they were outside the Beast Garden. Now he took off his brocade garment and covered her with it.
The firelight shone on her face, and there was deep worry and uneasiness in her eyes. Zi'an smiled palely. She had never seen Qin Zhou like this before.
Qin Zhou was stunned when he saw her smile, "What are you laughing at?"
Zi'an was unable to answer. He just shook his head slightly, frowning as if he was in great pain.
Qin Zhou saw this and quickly said, "Don't talk, take a break, don't get hurt."
"Yeah!" Zi'an responded, but then asked, "Where is this place?"
Qin Zhou said: "This is Pinggu under Wolf Tail Mountain. Someone will come down to find us tomorrow morning."
Zi'an didn't expect to return to Wolf Tail Mountain. Qin Zhou was really bold. After such a bumpy journey back, wasn't he afraid that she would die
Qin Zhou seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said, "On the way back, you fainted and I pressed your acupoints. So, before I release the acupoints, your life will be fine."
Zi'an hummed tiredly. Acupressure is different from acupuncture. Acupressure uses internal force and has great force. Acupressure cannot be closed for too long, while acupuncture is different because the force is slow and there is enough blood to circulate, so the heart's tolerance can be increased.
Zi'an closed her eyes. At this moment, she missed Lao Qi especially.
He let out a long sigh. If he knew he was injured, he would be very worried, right? Thinking of his angry and caring look, Zian couldn't help but want to laugh.
Rouyao must be wrong, Lao Qi must love her.
"Xia Zian, are you okay?" Qin Zhou panicked when he saw her laughing all the time.
Zi'an opened her eyes, and saw Qin Zhou's concerned and worried look. She said, "I'm fine. I just remembered what Rouyao said."
"What did she say that makes you laugh so hard?" Qin Zhou knew that she was in great pain, but if what Rouyao said could make her laugh, or at least relax her, he would just go along with what she said to divert her attention.
Zi'an stared at her, "She said, you like my prince!"
Qin Zhou's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I will tear her mouth apart later!"
Zi'an laughed and immediately felt relieved, "Rouyao is wrong, you don't like Lao Qi."
Zi'an was really happy without this strong rival, because Qin Zhou was really outstanding. Although she was not extremely beautiful, she had an attractive heroic demeanor, black hair and black eyes, healthy skin, quick movements, and awe-inspiring aura. If she were a man, she would probably like such a heroic woman.
