Chapter 78: Heart Racing! Change
"It's not their fault, it's the way of the world! Liu Mang seemed to understand and yet not understand. In a chaotic world where people prey on each other, even the most ferocious tigers can't compare to the cruelty that humans inflict on each other. Tigers don't eat humans, what do they eat? Vegetables? If humans don't kill tigers, are they supposed to feed them?"
A group of people left the cave, and Lü Bu didn't bring the mother tiger's corpse to make medicine. No one else suggested it either. The two little ones were taken out by them and held in the arms of the He sisters.
The three young men were also buried by Lü Bu's soldiers, resting in peace. Although they were killed by the fierce tiger, their bodies could not be left exposed in the wilderness.
"What are you going to do with these two Hua sisters?!" Lü Bu suddenly asked a strange question.
"How to dispose of them? Of course, when we arrive at Wancheng, send them back home!" Liu Mang looked at Lü Bu in surprise. Having rescued the family, it was only natural to send them back home. Otherwise, in this chaotic world with soldiers and horses everywhere, these two young ladies would be without attendants or servants, and if they weren't careful, they would leave the tiger's den only to enter the wolf's lair.
"Send him back home?!" Lü Bu looked at Liu Mang with a hint of a smile "Can you bear to?!"
"What's there to be reluctant about?!" Liu Mang was puzzled.
"Haha, fine! I'll wait for you to send those two sisters back home! Gao Shun, let's go!" Looking at Liu Mang's bewildered expression, Lü Bu suddenly laughed and galloped away with Gao Shun.
"What's going on?!" Liu Mang shook his head in confusion.
"Ah!" A sharp cry suddenly rang out from the two war horses behind Liu Mang.
"What's wrong?!" Liu Mang turned his head and asked.
"Sister bit me!" Behind her, a white-dressed little sister, He Yue, was pointing at the small white creature in her hand and shrieking.
"Did it bite you?!" He Yu looked at the little guy in her sister's arms, who didn't seem to be the biting type.
"How could he bite you, sister? Can't you see that it's a little cub, just born and hasn't grown teeth yet? How can he hurt you with his lips?" Liu Mang originally didn't have a good impression of this younger sister, and now her tone was even worse.
"She bit me!" Normally, He Yue would have gotten into a huge fight with Liu Mang, but now she just blushed and said again.
"Give it to me!" Liu Meng took back the little white tiger from He Yue's hands. "Look, it's so small, let alone biting people, even eating is a problem. Why did you let it bite you and not me? It doesn't make sense!" As he spoke, Liu Meng was about to take the little white tiger back to the camp by himself.
"You, you!" He Yue was so angry at Liu Mang that she couldn't speak.
Cheng Yu, who was standing aside, slightly understood and pointed to the little white tiger with a slight embarrassment, "General, it's possible that this little thing really bit her."
"How is that possible, it hasn't even grown teeth yet!" Liu Mang was about to pick up the little guy when he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his chest. He saw the little guy using its small paws to scratch at his chest, and its small mouth sucking in a rhythmic motion, as if it wanted to nurse. But because Liu Mang was wearing armor, the little guy couldn't reach the breast underneath.
But for the two sisters it was different, inside that white silk dress was a grape!
"Ahem!" Liu Mang hastily coughed twice to interrupt his own thoughts, but once his eyes were fixed on that spot, he couldn't tear them away. Thanks to the tiger's efforts, the two sisters' silk clothes were also slightly torn, and through the gap, a glimpse of their fair skin could be seen.
Sister He Yu also understood and felt embarrassed, Liu Mang's eyes kept staring at the sisters, making her uncomfortable. She knew that her sister might have been sucked into the grape by the little guy, but you can't say it directly, why not just secretly tell me?!
"General! General!" He Yue called out several times before finally waking Liu Mang up.
"Sorry, sorry!" Liu Mang also knew he had lost his composure. He shook his head violently, wondering what was wrong with him. Was it because he was feeling empty, or was it because he had been single for too long? But he had already been single for so long without being like this before! Recently, Liu Mang suddenly found that not only had he become bloodthirsty, but his thoughts about women had also changed. Originally, he just appreciated them, but now he had the urge to tear off their white clothes and take them directly.
After Liu Mang finally shifted his gaze away, his sister He Yu let out another muffled hum. What? Is Little Huang also going to drink milk now?
Liu Mang's guess was correct, the two little ones had been hungry for a long time. Originally, their mother went out to find food, but she died at Lü Bu's hands, so the two little ones had nothing to eat.
He Yu's humming was not because the little guy bit into the grape, but a painful humming sound.
On the chest above the white silk clothes that were torn open, a long wound with blood-red color appeared in front of him. This was caused by being chased by a fierce tiger and scratched by the dense forest, with half a branch inserted into it. The branch had been pulled out by He Yu, and only roughly bandaged from the outside, still visible inside were the broken wood chips.
The wound was constantly scabbing and cracking, but I didn't feel it when the tiger was chasing me. Now that I've settled down, Little Yellow Tiger's antics have torn it open a bit again.
"Sister, what's wrong!" He Yue exclaimed. She had never seen such a scene before, even when she saw several servants being bitten to death by a tiger, Qiao Yu covered her eyes.
And now the wound of that size still has fresh blood flowing out, making her feel panicked.
"It's okay, it's okay!" He Yu patted He Yue and comforted her, saying that everything was fine, but the pale face couldn't hide her weakness.
"It's not a big deal! Just a little deeper and you'll see the bone!" Liu Mang frowned as he looked at He Yu's wound. This kind of injury might be considered minor in an army camp, but on a girl, it was a serious one.
Not to mention the wound may become infected, just say that long scar might leave a mark, a cicatrix as big as a centipede appearing on a woman's body can be imagined as a great disaster.
And the wound was still bleeding, He Yu's sloppy handling not only failed to stop the bleeding, but also made it bleed even more. If this continues, the bleeding might take his life.
"What's going on! What's going on! Save my sister, save my sister!" He Yue looked at Liu Mang with a loss of composure.
"Let the military doctor help her with that!" Just slowly clean up the wound pierced by the branch, pull out the fragments of the branch, and then use a clean cloth to bandage it and press the wound. As for infection, what good wound medicine can there be in this era?
"General, what's this?!"
"What's wrong?!" Liu Meng looked at Cheng Yu and said, this kind of injury is still relatively easy to treat for military doctors.
Cheng Yu awkwardly smiled, "General, I forgot to bring the army doctor!" Only then did Liu Mao see that behind Cheng Yu were uniformed cavalrymen, and among them, there were hardly any medical personnel, let alone those who knew how to provide care.
Even Cheng Yu doesn't know how to bandage himself, every time he fights it's others who help him.
"Huh?!" Liu Mang furrowed his brow, as there was still a considerable distance from here to the main tent. In order to practice his archery skills, Liu Mang had specifically run towards the dense forest.
"It's okay!" A faint smile appeared on He Yucang's pale face, this was a smile for her sister to see, so as not to let her sister worry.
The wound on He Yu's chest had been torn open by Xiao Huang Hu, and fresh blood was flowing profusely. From here to the big tent, it was a bumpy ride all the way, and the wound lost even more blood during the bumps, which could easily lead to shock. Unfortunately, there was no blood transfusion technology available at this time.
If we let He Yu wait here and have the military doctor come over, it will take a long time back and forth. The sky is about to gradually darken, and the cold air in the forest at night is quite heavy, don't get pneumonia again.
"It must be bandaged!" Liu Mang was in a dilemma, as he was the only one with some knowledge of first aid, which he had learned from his university's emergency response course. If He Yu were a man, Liu Mang could have directly helped him bandage his wound and been done with it. However, He Yu was a woman, and there were many awkward aspects to consider, especially since her injury was on the upper part of her chest, making it even more inconvenient.
Whether to bandage or not, let the sisters decide! Liu Mang thought for a moment and said to the two sisters, "Your wound must be bandaged. We won't make it back to the main camp in time, and you might lose too much blood and go into shock!"
"What's shock?!" The two sisters didn't know what "shock" meant.
"It's simply dying from excessive blood loss!" Liu Mang explained.
"Ah!" He Yue was startled by Liu Mang's explanation.
"My military doctor didn't come with me, so I'm the only one who can bandage you. Whether to bandage or not is up to you!"
"Can't my sister help me with the bandage?!" Although He Yu said that she was fine, she also felt dizzy after losing blood, and her mind was slowly becoming a bit fuzzy. However, if she were to be bandaged, it would mean letting this man touch her body.
"Alright!" Liu Mang nodded "But will she be able to do it?!" Liu Mang asked back, anyone can bandage, but the technique is different, the degree of bandaging is also different. Those who know how to bandage wounds can stop the bleeding, those who don't know how to bandage wounds will only make the wound bleed more, like He Yu's careless treatment earlier.
"But, however!" He Yu also knew that her sister didn't understand nursing care either, but letting a strange man touch her body made He Yu, who had been confined to the boudoir since childhood and was knowledgeable about books and reason, somewhat unacceptable.
Liu Mang knew why He Yu found it difficult to make a decision. "Oh, I forgot to tell you!" Liu Mang paused for a moment. "Our military doctors are also men!" In ancient times, women were unlikely to appear in the military camp, and only those with martial arts skills stronger than men, like Sun Shangxiang and Lv Xiaojie, would form an all-female battalion.
So don't doubt that among Liu Mang's army, or even the entire Lü Bu's army, all the military officers were male.
"Sister!" He Yue's face was filled with worry, she was concerned about her sister. If they didn't handle this properly and the shock that this bad person spoke of occurred, what would happen? The sisters had been together since childhood as twins, so their feelings for each other were very deep.
"Alright, help me bandage it!" Looking at her sister's worry and the pain of her wound as well as her weak body, He Yu gritted her teeth. She had no choice, she couldn't die from her injuries after just escaping from the jaws of death.
