As soon as they reached the entrance of the inn, Zhou Huaiming rushed over. When he saw Gu Chengrui’s injured arm, he was shocked and asked, “What happened…? Can you still…?”
“It’s fine. I’ve already bandaged it. We better quickly take a look at my brother-in-law’s injury.” Gu Chengrui answered and turned his head to ask Zhou Ying for the first-aid kit before hurrying inside.
Zhou Huaiming immediately followed him and led the way.
Zhou Ying exited the carriage a moment later with Gu Chenglin in her arms. She handed him to a cavalryman and said, “Sorry to trouble you. He just fainted from fear.”
“It’s my duty. Follow me.” The cavalryman replied and took Gu Chenglin before leading her into the inn.
Zhou Ying carried her luggage and followed him inside.
The cavalrymen arranged for them to stay in a room on the east side of the second floor and retreated.
After settling down, Zhou Ying saw that there was water in the room. She washed up briefly, then sat on a stool and spread out her divine sense to scan the entire inn.
Soon, she found King Rui in the main room in the backyard.
At this moment, Gu Chengrui was examining the wounds of the unconscious King Rui.
The injuries on his body were not serious. They were all superficial injuries and had been treated perfectly.
However, there was an arrow in King Rui’s chest, which was especially close to his heart. If it was pulled out forcefully, it was very likely that he would not be able to survive the bleed.
This was presumably also why Zhou Huaiming had looked for Gu Chengrui.
After Gu Chengrui finished checking, Zhou Huaiming immediately asked, “Chengrui, how confident are you?”
“50%, but I need Zhou Ying to help me.”
“50%…” Zhou Huaiming’s heart sank when he heard this, but he also knew this might be the best possible outcome. After all, even Doctor He, known as the Saint of External Injuries, could not do anything about it.
He hesitated for a moment and replied, “Do your best. If you need anything else or have any requirements, just tell me.”
“Hot water. We can start when Zhou Ying comes, but we can’t be disturbed in the middle of our treatment.
“No matter the situation, you mustn’t let anyone in.”
“I understand. Get ready. I’ll call Zhou Ying over now.” Zhou Huaiming nodded and turned around before running out of the room.
Gu Chengrui made some simple preparations. Of course, the main thing was to disinfect himself.
Soon, Zhou Ying rushed over. After the hot water was brought in, Gu Chengrui gave Zhou Huaiming a few instructions before closing the door and locking it from the inside.
He asked Zhou Ying for some local anesthesia. After giving King Rui a skin test and confirming there were no adverse reactions, he injected King Rui with a suitable amount of anesthetic.
Once King Rui slept, Zhou Ying brought him directly to the small operating theater in her inters.p.a.ce’s villa.
The two changed into surgical gowns. Gu Chengrui was the chief surgeon, and Zhou Ying was the a.s.sistant.
In less than 15 minutes, Gu Chengrui quickly removed the hooked arrow.
After some sutures, he gave King Rui a tube of painkiller and antiseptic medicine.
Once they were done, the two changed out of their surgical gowns.
Zhou Ying went outside her inters.p.a.ce and sprayed a lot of disinfectant before moving King Rui out of the operation theater.
Gu Chengrui took the arrow, the blood-stained cotton wool, and the bandages used during the surgery. He threw them into the hot water he had prepared and stirred them. He only stopped when they were all blood-red.
After he was done with his work, Gu Chengrui glanced around the room. He removed the bedsheet Zhou Ying had changed earlier and dug a fist-sized hole in the middle.
He used the blood water to draw out traces of blood that should’ve spurted out when pulling out the arrow.
At this thought, he splashed some blood on his body and face.
Finally, he wiped his hands with the sheet and asked Zhou Ying to open the door..
