Special Forces Medic-Chapter 686 - 650 Xiao Lin’s Blood
Wu Shuang's condition seems to be getting worse and worse. Xiao Lin furrowed his brows tightly. A person cannot lack water; if she goes on like this for too long, she won't die from poison, but she will definitely die from dehydration.
Her pain was evident in Hua Qingyi and Xiao Lin's eyes, yet she was strong enough not to let her suffering show, which made the two men feel deeply moved.
Xiao Lin had no solution; for the first time, he felt that what he had learned in medicine was sorely inadequate.
Sitting alone on the wall, facing the calm lake, he rummaged through all the medical books he had read, hoping to find a way to unlock the poison within Wu Shuang's body. However, he ultimately realized that he couldn't match Four Master's cunning in the realm of medicine.
Returning from the North District Police Station to Zhang Qian's residence was a day after the incident, and "vacant room, deserted" couldn't describe the scene they encountered when they arrived at the place again. Everything was destroyed beyond recognition, and it seemed the perpetrator intentionally left items on the scene that could lead to the medicine primer.
Including that teapot, that cup, and those flowers and plants, ensuring they would return. However, what the perpetrator left them was a heap of waste. Even if they could see the appearance, they couldn't find any clues from it.
Xiao Lin exhaled smoke rings. Just how much did Four Master hate him! Yet he didn't leave completely empty-handed. When he unlocked the first barrier inside Wu Shuang's body, he truly thought he could take a step further, but unexpectedly, what Four Master left him was a puzzle. He had to admit Four Master's capabilities.
"What are you thinking about? I even came up here without you noticing. As someone from Dragon Soul, that's a big no-no, you know. If Lao Long knew, he'd give you a beating." Hua Qingyi handed Xiao Lin a can of beer; the empty cans from recent days could pile up into a small hill. Lowering from wine to beer, Hua Qingyi was unaccustomed but eventually accepted it. Such a transformation might amuse Xiao Lin, but rather than comment much, he refrained.
"Four Master!" Xiao Lin answered Hua Qingyi's question briefly; indeed, this was what he had been thinking about the most, the person he mostly spoke of.
"Mu Rongyun is here, right downstairs."
"Oh!" This was expected, Xiao Lin gulped down more than half of the can.
"Leaving him alone with Wu Shuang... does it matter?" Hua Qingyi saw Xiao Lin unmoved and didn't urge him to go down.
"He won't do anything to her." Xiao Lin was confident in this point. A man being a man, so Mu Rongyun absolutely had different feelings for Wu Shuang. Many people here might pose a threat to Wu Shuang, but definitely not Mu Rongyun.
Watching the motionless person on the bed, her cracked lips peeling, her pallid complexion lifeless, her long eyelashes fluttering, her brows furrowed painfully uttering disjointed words, she seemed utterly anguished. Even in her dreams, she still tried to bite her lips to prevent the pain from spilling out.
Stretching out his fingers to place them upon the furrowed brows, smoothing them yet still unconsciously they crumpled again, Mu Rongyun found himself unable to mitigate such suffering. The black medicine was still tucked within his pants pocket; he hesitated, unsure of the consequences of his actions.
"What are you doing here?" Xiao Lin stood behind Mu Rongyun. For a long period, he had been using his fingers to smooth Wu Shuang's furrowed brows like this.
"To kill you." Mu Rongyun didn't look back; this was his sole purpose, the only way Wu Shuang would be saved.
The fingers in his pocket had already twisted open the black bottle but were met with empty air. An icy chill froze his fingertips, piercing his heart; he wavered.
"Hmm!" Xiao Lin replied, "Wait until I save her!"
"I only need to kill you to save her!" Mu Rongyun knew that Wu Shuang could sleep so peacefully only because Xiao Lin had done something. He didn't understand acupuncture but knew that the only one finding ways to save her was Xiao Lin.
"Four Master has seen you, huh!" Thinking of Mu Rongyun wanting to kill him held reasons, but not choosing this moment meant only one possibility.
"It was me who found her."
"Got the antidote in hand?" The condition swap sounded like what that woman would do. "Why not use it if it's in hand?" Leaning against the wall. This wasn't typical Mu Rongyun behavior.
"It's not the antidote; it's medicine to sustain her life for three months. Within these three months, I obtain your blood, she'll give me the remaining antidote." Mu Rongyun didn't hide, speaking straightforwardly.
"Do you trust Four Master?"
"I don't!" Mu Rongyun didn't trust that woman; she herself was more poisonous than poison.
"Trust me?" Xiao Lin didn't think now was the time for personal grievances.
"I trust no one." Mu Rongyun turned to Xiao Lin, taking off his glasses; only his pair of eyes were so familiar.
"I know you hate me, but right now I'm the only one you can trust." Xiao Lin walked to the bedside. "Wu Shuang's problem can't be solved with surgery, I know the power of your hands, but you must believe me, the poison in her is more than just Mandala."
"What do you mean?"
"I initially thought Wu Shuang was poisoned with Mandala, but when I unraveled it, I found Mandala was just a catalyst for another poison." In a little over an hour, Wu Shuang would wake up. Fruit's moisture can no longer meet her need for water. "Look at the medicine given to you by Fourth Master."
Black! Just like the color of his pupils, no light penetrated it in daylight. "This kind of bottle is the best protection against volatile substances." The lid has been opened. "You hesitated! That means this stuff isn't good." Without even bringing it close to the nose, the cool peppermint smell was already noticeable. "But this time Fourth Master didn't lie to you, this might actually be useful for Wu Shuang, but since she said she only has three months to live, it means there are other ingredients in the antidote. You've studied medicine, so you understand the principle of one substance subduing another, the latter is always stronger than the former, even with poisons. So do as you see fit!"
Xiao Lin ignored Mu Rongyun and instead walked to the only complete cabinet nearby, on which lay a knife, a bowl, and a syringe.
"So, I only have hope to save her by killing you, right!" Mu Rongyun was already moved to kill.
"Ah, almost, but I'm not sure if it will work. However, I think Fourth Master doesn't want my life, she wants something more valuable than my life." Xiao Lin chuckled.
"Then give me what she wants."
"If I give it to you, I really won't survive." Xiao Lin didn't want to die, he had yet to marry and have children with Xia Xue. Saying this, he picked up the knife gleaming in the light and sliced into his own wrist.
"What are you doing?"
"Wu Shuang can't touch water; water rapidly coagulates the toxins inside her." Thick blood dripped into the empty bowl, filling the air with a sweet aroma, different from the metallic smell of regular blood, this scent was pleasant, Mu Rongyun noticed, seeing the surprise on his face, Xiao Lin sarcastically smirked. "Fourth Master wants my blood."
With about half a bowl, Xiao Lin raised his wrist to lick away the blood from the wound, it was precious and would be wasted if dropped on the ground. "Do me a favor, grab the bandage from that medicine box on the windowsill for me." Xiao Lin spoke towards the new medicine box.
Mu Rongyun picked up the medicine box and placed it in front of Xiao Lin, skillfully taking out the medical supplies to bandage Xiao Lin's wrist. "Thanks!"
Still as skillful as ever, looking at the light bandage with knotted techniques that prevent loosening, Xiao Lin gave Mu Rongyun a thumbs up. Then, he used the syringe to draw the blood from the bowl and injected it into Wu Shuang's vein. Mu Rongyun watched all his actions without saying a word, he couldn't intervene, as long as it helped Wu Shuang, he didn't mind if Xiao Lin used more of his blood.
"My blood can't cure her poison, it can only cleanse the toxins in her veins, it can't enter too much at once, her constitution can't bear it, once a day, slowly, but at least it won't cause too much pain." Xiao Lin explained to Mu Rongyun, a slight pain on the wrist, since exertion caused the blood to pop out, but the wound would heal quickly, he didn't mind. "She'll wake up in half an hour, you decide whether to use what Fourth Master gave you."
Xiao Lin didn't come down from the wall because of Mu Rongyun, but because it was time to inject Wu Shuang with blood, Hua Qingyi was still waiting up there, he didn't want to leave him up there too long. As he left, he patted Mu Rongyun's shoulder. "We'll settle things between us eventually, but right now, do you think it's necessary, brother?"
Mu Rongyun stood there stunned, as the word brother slipped out from Xiao Lin's mouth, it felt like something crossed his heart, an instant that stayed forever in his memory.
"All done?" Seeing Xiao Lin climb back up the wall, Hua Qingyi turned his head.
"Yeah! Now it's up to Mu Rongyun, but I think he and Wu Shuang are quite a match." He said as he took and drank the offered wine.
"The key is Wu Shuang seems to have feelings for you, right!"
"Not necessarily!" Xiao Lin smiled brightly.
"You just enjoy yourself there!" Hua Qingyi commented at Xiao Lin's boast. "Brother Luo is in the North District."
"Ah! Young Count's information?" Xiao Lin hadn't expected Hua Muyun to send Secretary Luo personally, so their disappearance had a notable effect.
"Yes! This time I think I'll have to face my old man back home with a hanging head." Since it was his idea, naturally he had to face the consequences.
"Since it's already done, drag it out for a few more days! If Brother Luo stalls them, it's good, we can buy some time." Xiao Lin lit a cigarette, tonight the moon was very round, but there were no stars, "The clouds are thick, very dark."
"Are you saying the weather is about to change?"
"The longer we're missing, the higher the index for this change, isn't this exactly what you wanted?" Xiao Lin blew smoke towards the heavy clouds, "Only a son like you would do something like this to your dad, really makes Uncle Hua sad!"
After saying this, Hua Qingyi laughed heartily! (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it, every recommendation and monthly ticket is the greatest motivation for me.)
