"Huh?"
Leng Xue opened her mouth, frozen in place, utterly uncomfortable!
Most of these injured special forces members were men.
Even though they were all brothers who had faced life and death with Leng Xue.
Leng Xue never paid attention to gender during missions.
But now... wasn't this rather inappropriate?
"Do we really have to undress?" Leng Xue asked with some difficulty.
Zhou Yu's forehead creased. "What else? I said we're doing a medicinal bath. Are you going in with your clothes on?"
The medicinal effect would be greatly diminished then!
A look of embarrassment appeared on Leng Xue's face.
Asking her to undress with these men...
"You can ask others to help. You and Black Rose aren't the only ones in the special forces who can stand."
Zhou Yu said helplessly.
Leng Xue usually seemed so smart, why couldn't she figure this out now?
Upon hearing Zhou Yu's words, Leng Xue blushed, which was rare, and said awkwardly, "I'll go call for help right away."
With that, she fled as if escaping.
Zhou Yu shook his head, lowered his head, and began feeding medicine to the injured.
After a night of turmoil.
These injured individuals were now at least conscious.
No one was unconscious.
They had only severed meridians and were unable to move their limbs freely.
So Zhou Yu's work of feeding them medicine was quick.
Before long, Leng Xue had called others to help.
All the injured were placed into the bathtubs filled with medicinal herbs.
Then Zhou Yu applied acupuncture to their backs.
After soaking in the medicinal bath.
The injured couldn't help but groan.
Inside the medicinal bath, it felt like being bitten by countless ants.
Every inch of their skin was both painful and itchy!
Coupled with Zhou Yu's silver needles.
One by one, they were almost unable to bear it.
"Hold on, this medicinal bath needs to be soaked for twenty minutes."
Zhou Yu said indifferently.
At the same time, he turned on the heating switch.
The hot water would turn cold within half an hour at most.
This would prevent the medicinal effect from reaching its maximum potential.
To maintain the heat of the medicinal bath, Zhou Yu had already asked Black Rose to buy a large number of heaters.
At this moment.
The entire tent was filled with swirling mist.
The mist obscured everyone's vision!
Just standing outside, one could smell the strong scent of Chinese medicine.
And for those soaking in the bathtubs, it was even more so.
The medicinal liquid gurgled.
Herbs floated in the bathtubs.
It looked like they were being boiled...
After making these preparations, Zhou Yu walked out with his hands behind his back.
"How is it?" Leng Xue stepped forward with concern.
This time, she couldn't help and couldn't witness the injured's condition firsthand.
She always felt uneasy!
"They're fine now. After soaking today, they'll be able to walk."
Zhou Yu said indifferently.
Leng Xue's expression brightened, and she nodded forcefully. "Zhou Yu, don't worry, the special forces will definitely not treat you unfairly this time!"
Zhou Yu's arrival not only made Shadow confess but also subdued the people from the Martial Artists Association.
If Zhou Yu hadn't been present.
These special forces members might have suffered more than just injuries.
They might have even lost their lives!
Therefore, although Leng Xue didn't say it, she was very grateful to Zhou Yu in her heart.
Zhou Yu twitched the corner of his mouth. "Understood. Have someone prepare some light salt water."
"Give this to the injured later to drink to prevent dehydration."
The tent was now like a large steamer.
Soaking for too long could lead to thirst and dehydration!
Leng Xue nodded and immediately complied.
Zhou Yu sat under a tree and continued to meditate.
Several hours passed quickly.
Zhou Yu had only completed two major circulation cycles.
Black Rose came to call him.
"Dr. Zhou, the time is up. What else should we do?" Black Rose asked. Her gaze towards Zhou Yu was filled with gratitude and respect!
It wasn't just Leng Xue who cared about these special forces members.
Black Rose cared even more!
Moreover, Black Rose was one of the special forces members, but held a special position, staying by Leng Xue's side.
She interacted more with the others.
And her feelings for them were deeper.
They had all faced life and death together, and Black Rose had long considered them her sworn brothers.
Now.
Zhou Yu's treatment of the injured had indirectly changed Black Rose's attitude.
"First, help them out and lay them on the beds."
Zhou Yu said, then took out a packet of powdered herbs.
"Light this in the tent for them to inhale while sleeping."
Black Rose took the packet of herbs and nodded.
In the past, Black Rose couldn't understand why Lin Weidong insisted on associating with Zhou Yu.
Now she understood.
Zhou Yu was extraordinarily capable, and his medical skills were divine!
He was a rare talent.
Compared to Leng Xue, although Leng Xue herself had achieved a lot, truthfully, aside from her background and status being stronger than Zhou Yu's.
In other aspects, Zhou Yu was probably truly more formidable!
Thinking of this, Black Rose sighed slightly.
She now felt that if Leng Xue could fulfill the engagement with Zhou Yu, it would be a good thing.
What a shame.
Zhou Yu was already married to someone else.
And given Leng Xue's personality, she would absolutely not allow sharing her husband!
Lost in thought, Black Rose had already entered the tent.
With people, she cleaned up all the injured, helped them onto the cots, and laid them down.
Then she emptied the bathtubs.
"What did Dr. Zhou say just now?" Leng Xue appeared outside the tent at some point. Seeing Black Rose busy, she immediately stepped forward to inquire.
Black Rose relayed Zhou Yu's words verbatim.
Then she added, "I saw their condition just now, they've already improved a lot, and can even walk."
"They should be fine in a few days."
Leng Xue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this!
If these special forces members had become cripples, she would probably have been tormented by her conscience day and night.
Fortunately, Zhou Yu was here!
"Did Dr. Zhou say when they can resume training?"
Leng Xue continued to ask.
Since it was confirmed that these members wouldn't become cripples, training was put on the agenda.
The special forces didn't keep idlers!
Moreover, Leng Xue was doing this for their own good.
The more sweat they shed during daily training, the less blood they would shed during actual missions.
They were all ordinary people. If they weren't diligent enough, how could they fight against martial artists?
"Dr. Zhou didn't say. Commander Leng, why don't you go ask him yourself?" Black Rose suggested, having an idea.
Leng Xue hesitated.
She had promised Zhou Yu that he could make any request in order for him to help.
Now that the injured were recovering.
If she went to him now, would Zhou Yu make her fulfill her promise?
Thinking of this, Leng Xue began to speculate.
What would Zhou Yu ask her to do?
Would it be to fulfill the engagement, or...?
"Commander Leng? Commander Leng?"
Black Rose called Leng Xue twice before bringing her back from her thoughts.
Leng Xue awkwardly twitched the corner of her mouth. "Mm, I'll go ask tomorrow morning."
Black Rose kindly reminded her, "Dr. Zhou will probably be busy tomorrow and might not have time."
"Anyway, Dr. Zhou isn't asleep yet. It's a good time to go."
