Chapter 61: A Little Bit of Pain
Suhe was dumbfounded.
Wait, this guy.
He was just boasting a bit – how did he take it seriously!?
But the words had already been spoken, so he could only bite the bullet: “Mm, alright… then…”
Qiaoba, standing nearby, laughed and said cheerfully: “Changqing, you can’t put it that way.”
Suhe immediately looked up at him, very pleased: Right, right, quickly reject Xie Changqing’s idea, and then he’d be “forced” to accept!
But then Qiaoba’s tone changed, and he looked at Suhe happily: “One sheep isn’t enough. I know guns aren’t cheap – we can’t let Old He take a loss. We should pay… three sheep!”
That still meant ten guns!?
Before Suhe could react, Sangtu, polishing Suhe’s gun, turned back to deliver the final blow: “And they should be this kind too – those bird guns are no good, they’re useless!”
If you really encountered wolves in the wild, taking that bird gun would be like delivering food to the wolves.
Suhe simply lay down, calm as still water: “Fine, I’ll definitely get it done.”
He looked up at the felt ceiling and made up his mind: Never boast again! So sad!
Well, who told him to boast first?
But thinking about it carefully, ten guns would cost him about two sheep, and they were giving him three, so he wouldn’t actually lose out.
It was just quite time-consuming and troublesome, but being able to build a good relationship with Xie Changqing and the others was worth it!
He couldn’t help but start planning how to get these things back once his leg healed.
Xie Changqing checked his and Haierte’s leg injuries and nodded with satisfaction: “The recovery is still pretty good.”
The main issue was that the temperature in the yurt was high, making wounds prone to infection, but if the temperature was too low, it wasn’t conducive to wound healing either.
So being able to heal to this extent was already very good.
Haierte’s leg injury was healing somewhat faster – after all, the young heal quicker.
“Also, I’ve adjusted the prescription for that medicinal paste.” Xie Changqing opened his medical kit and took out four doses of medicine.
Tana immediately stepped forward to receive the powdered medicine.
“Consider whether you want to use the new formula or the original one.” Xie Changqing paused and explained the medicine preparation details: “This new paste can make wounds heal faster, it’s just…”
He looked at Haierte and Suhe seriously: “It will hurt a little bit.”
“I’m not afraid of pain!” Haierte had been impatient for a while – if he weren’t afraid of tearing his wound open, he would have long wanted to run out and ride his horse, galloping for miles.
Heaven knows, since he’d learned to walk, he’d never stayed in bed continuously for this long!
Suhe’s words were stolen, so he could only follow up: “Pain doesn’t matter, as long as it heals quickly.”
“Change it for me now!” Haierte couldn’t wait and even suddenly sat half up: “Change it now!”
His wound didn’t hurt much now, but it itched – itched terribly!
And he couldn’t scratch it – he could only rub it lightly on the felt blanket, which was unbearably uncomfortable.
“I’d rather it hurt a bit!”
Xie Changqing coughed and said somewhat helplessly: “It might not just hurt a bit…”
Under the strong demands of Haierte and Suhe, Xie Changqing finally agreed to let them change now.
However, Xie Changqing still warned repeatedly: “This medicine will be quite painful.”
Haierte and Suhe acted nonchalant, disdainfully urging Tana to hurry up.
Finally, Xie Changqing also helped prepare the medicine, which indeed sped things up considerably.
However, when Tana lifted the gauze, Suhe’s face still turned white.
Because the edges had stuck again.
But this morning he could still cry out, since there were fewer people around.
Now with so many people in the room, and the Xie Changqing he wanted to befriend also present…
He really couldn’t bring himself to lose face.
Therefore, Suhe gritted his teeth and endured it!
Tana breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: “It seems it doesn’t hurt as much now, so I’ll pull it off quickly!”
“Rip.” The gauze fell with the sound.
Suhe’s face turned blue, his hands desperately clutching the felt blanket!
“What’s wrong, what’s wrong? Does it hurt?” Sangtu leaned forward with a very punchable expression: “Oh my, Old He, this won’t do – you’re not even as good as a little kid.”
“…No, it doesn’t hurt.” Suhe took a deep breath, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, but still gritted his teeth: “It doesn’t! Hurt! At all!”
“Good!” Sangtu patted his shoulder and said cheerfully: “Then let’s put the paste on him directly too!”
Tana nodded, since Suhe was on the outer side of the bed anyway, it was more convenient to treat him first.
So the new medicinal paste was brought over.
Suhe looked at Xie Changqing and hesitated for a second: “It’s just… a little painful, right?”
“…Medicinally speaking, it will hurt more than before.” Xie Changqing had a serious expression.
Because he hadn’t used it on himself either, he couldn’t be certain.
Haierte got impatient: “Why don’t you use it on me first! Let Uncle Suhe’s wound air out a bit!”
That would work too. Suhe unconsciously nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: “Alright, let this kid go first. I can wait a bit longer, no problem!”
Sangtu could see what was going on and was about to laugh, but Qiaoba held him back: “Fine, let’s do Haierte first then.”
After tearing off Haierte’s gauze, Xie Changqing looked: “Not bad, the wound is healing well, and the scab is quite thick. It’s just these areas without scabs – the paste will hurt a bit when applied, but the scabbed areas should be fine.”
Hearing this, Suhe’s face turned white: Dear god, his wound was so long, with few scabbed areas and even those were just thin layers.
Sure enough, after the paste was applied, Haierte’s face just turned blue and white, but he could still force a smile: “It’s okay, it does hurt a bit, like being bitten by an insect!”
When he put it that way, Suhe felt somewhat relieved.
Insect bites weren’t anything much.
He’d been bitten by snakes and wolves before – what were insects!?
He turned his head and said decisively: “Come on, Tana, put the medicine on me too.”
Tana nodded and brought the medicinal paste over.
“Apply it to the scabbed areas first.” Xie Changqing couldn’t help but give guidance: “Or I’ll help too – two people can apply it faster.”
Otherwise he was afraid that if it took too long, Suhe might faint.
Suhe was still laughing, saying he wouldn’t faint.
But as soon as the paste was applied, he felt his entire head go numb.
No, it was like being hit with a club!
“Huff, huff huff.” Tana tried to blow
