Chapter 140 – Wolf attack (5)

“Third brother, he can...”

“Quickly, take it off.” How could Li Shu, who was so clumsy, do a better job than her? Li Man put down the towel and was about to take off his shirt herself.

Li Mo hastily sat up and somewhat awkwardly took off his outer shirt.

Next to him, Li Man pointed out, “The undershirt is torn too. Take it all off.”

Li Mo’s expression looked somewhat strained. “It’s not urgent. It’s enough to just wipe off the blood on the side.”

It couldn’t be that he was feeling shy, right? Li Man suspiciously looked at his honey-colored face. Sure enough, she noticed a trace of strangeness. She found his behavior laughably ridiculous. He could accept something as outrageous as a shared wife, so why was he shy about her seeing his upper body? Besides, Li Yan and Li Shu had been shirtless in front of her before.

Being stared at like this, Li Mo felt even more self-consciousness. He could only turn around and take off his undershirt. With his upper body bare, he lied down on his stomach.

Li Man didn’t keep talking. She squeezed the towel so that it was half-wet and half-dry and gently wiped the dried blood that was at the edges of his wounds.

Although she had mentally prepared herself, it still felt as if needles were stabbing her eyes when she saw the bloody gouges on his sturdy back.

After she finished cleaning the blood from his injury, she rubbed alcohol on his back to disinfect the wound. By the time she was done doing this, her body was soaked in sweat.

Hearing her taking a deep breath, Li Mo said, “Tired? Go rest.”

“I’m not tired.” Li Man put the alcohol down and took out the basin of bloody water.

Right after she got to the doorway, she saw that Li Yan and Li Hua had returned.

Li Yan was carrying an old man with a beard on his back. That old man was wildly waving his hands and loudly squawking, “Outrageous! Too impudent! Are you guys bandits?! How can you treat such a good doctor like this? I’m warning you, even if you kidnapped me here, I won’t treat the patient.”

Li Yan didn’t pay attention to him. He swiftly entered the courtyard.

Li Hua was following behind them. One hand was holding a medicine bag, and the other hand was stretched out to support the old man. He was worried the old man would fall down from his careless flailing about.

She quickly poured out the bloody water into the outhouse, then ran back to the hut.

Li Yan had already brought the doctor into the eastern hut. “Doctor, help us out, please take a look. My oldest brother is seriously injured.”

“Hmph.” The old man coldly glanced over at Li Mo before taking his medicine bag and heading out, “I already said that I refuse to check his injury since you guys forcibly brought me here.”

Li Hua hastily stopped him and apologetically said, “Doctor, we were too reckless and offended you. Please forgive us. My oldest brother is injured very badly, so we were worried about taking too much time to get back here. That’s why we had no alternative but to...”

“Your oldest brother is injured badly? It’s not like he’s going to die immediately. Besides, haven’t you heard of first come, first served? Little Four from Chen village headed out early in the morning to ask me to go over to check on his family’s old sow. She’s having difficultly giving birth. That’s an emergency too, but you guys intercepted us midway to his home. Aren’t you guys forcing me to go back on my word?” The old man angrily said while smoothing out his beard with hands

“Doctor, although my oldest brother’s injury wasn’t immediately fatal, who can guarantee it won’t become life-threatening if there’s a delay? Please, take a look.” Although Li Hua was anxious, he didn’t dare to offend this bad tempered old man.

On the side, Li Yan wiped his sweat and said, “As long as you treat my oldest brother, I’ll immediately bring you to Chen Village. I promise there won’t be a delay.”

T/N: Lol, Li Mo feels like a bullied maiden. If Li Yan wasn’t actively pushing him to pursue Li Man, Li Mo would probably stay a bachelor forever.
