Chapter 362: Festering and Hideous Wounds
In a flash, the bullet shot out with a whoosh, piercing through the dead tree and hitting the target.
Then, a few sharp and shrill screams of small animals were heard from behind the tree trunk, and the outline of the light source disappeared instantly.
The prince did not act rashly. He held his pistol and continued to scan slowly. Except for a few drops of black blood falling under the tree trunk, the life source of Wong Tai Sin could no longer be found in the entire yard.
It suddenly disappeared again.
The prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the bullet must have hit some part of Wong Tai Sin's body, but he didn't know how serious the injury was.
*
At this time, the prince, whose nerves had relaxed, felt an unbearable pain in his right shoulder blade, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The prince first quickly put away his pistol to avoid being discovered.
As for the bullets that were fired, two hit the tree trunk and one hit the big tail.
He doesn't have to worry about being discovered and his secret being exposed.
For the sake of safety and to reduce unnecessary trouble, Fang Qingge equipped the prince with high-tech ice bullets, which would instantly turn into water once exposed to heat and the time was up.
Even if a time traveler from Concubine Xiao's era saw it, he would not suspect that it was done by a pistol, after all, there would be no trace left.
This is the reason why Fang Qingge dared to let the prince use a pistol for self-defense. Concubine Xiao was already very unfamiliar with the modern time and space half a century later, just like she didn't know what a mobile phone or a computer was.
*
After the prince put away his pistol, he quickly swallowed another pill without hesitation, and his vision became much clearer.
He concentrated his energy and quickly took out two pills and stuffed them into the mouths of Eunuch Fu and Bai Yu respectively.
In a moment, the two woke up from the cold night again.
"Prince, I am incompetent."
Bai Yu said weakly.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
Eunuch Fu still felt a little dizzy.
"I'm fine, both of you should go into the house and treat your injuries."
The prince urged them as he looked at their clothes stained with blood.
Bai Yu covered his bleeding shoulder and climbed up.
Thinking about being injured by a small thing and that as a guard he had no ability to fight back, he lowered his head in shame.
Eunuch Fu breathed a sigh of relief only after he was sure that the prince was safe and sound.
At the same time, the guilt on his face became even more intense.
"Your Highness, where is that Wong Tai Sin?"
Eunuch Fu asked with lingering fear.
"Run away. Go back first."
The severe pain in the prince's shoulder made him look bad. Suddenly, Bai Yu shouted,
"Your Highness, your shoulder is bleeding too?"
"Oh, Your Highness, are you injured too? Go back to your room, hurry back to your room..."
Eunuch Fu cried out in pain, not caring about the dizziness in his head or the pain in his shoulder. He and the guard Bai Yu hurriedly supported the prince back to the main house.
*
As soon as they entered the room, the one who brought water and the one who took the medicine box were busy cleaning, applying medicine and bandaging the wound.
After a while, seeing that the prince's entire shoulder was bandaged tightly, the two wiped the sweat from their foreheads and breathed a sigh of relief.
The prince looked at the two men's faces and said,
"You two should hurry and treat the wound! By the way, Lan Yu hasn't shown up yet. I think he must have fainted from the stench of Wong Tai Sin. Feed him this pill."
"Yes, I will go right away."
The guard uniform on Bai Yu's left shoulder was already stained with blood. He responded, took the pill and ran to the ear room outside.
Eunuch Fu covered his aching shoulder but did not rush to treat the injury. Instead, he said anxiously,
"Your Highness, please lie down and take a rest. I will pour you a glass of water."
"Afu, go bandage the wound first."
The prince urged.
*
"I will make sure you drink some water before you leave. Otherwise, I will be worried."
The prince knew that Eunuch Fu was nervous about him, so he followed him to pour some water and drink it.
"Your Highness, I feel something is a little strange. You said that Huang Daxian suddenly came to attack us in the middle of the night. I don't know how we angered him.
Your Highness, when it's daybreak, shall I go find the guards guarding the tomb in the camp and send a message to the emperor?"
"Afu, don't use it for now. The situation is unclear. Let's wait and see if it appears again in the next few days. Besides, I have injured it."
"Ah? You hurt it? How did you do it?"
"Afumo, stop talking and go down and treat the wound."
"Well, I'm leaving now, please take a rest!!"
As Eunuch Fu spoke, he tucked in the corner of the quilt for the prince, then extinguished the candle in the room, and then went out to bandage Bai Yu's wounds.
As expected, Bai Yu, who went out first, saw Lan Yu unconscious at the door of the ear room.
Fortunately, the prince was considerate, and Bai Yu helped him up after taking the pills the prince gave him. He drank a large bowl of hot water before he recovered.
Otherwise, if you keep lying on the ground in the cold winter, even the strongest body will collapse.
*
The thrilling middle of the night passed like this.
When the sky brightened, the elf, who was unaware of the situation, ran back happily from the palace in stealth.
It appeared after entering the main house, and suddenly, I smelled a strong smell of blood in the house.
It sniffed its little nose, followed the scent and jumped onto the bed. It came close to the prince who was still sleeping with his eyes closed and sniffed, feeling somewhat puzzled.
"Hoo" it sniffed hard again, the smell of blood became stronger, the elf meowed twice at the prince,
"Crown Prince? Your Highness? Wake up? Are you hurt?"
*
After calling a few times and seeing that the prince did not wake up under the quilt, the elf could not help but talk to himself.
"This shouldn't be the case! The prince has always been a light sleeper. Oh no."
The elf suddenly had an idea in his mind, stopped mumbling, and hurriedly stretched out his little paw to touch the prince's forehead.
The elf's guess was confirmed by the burning hot touch.
At this time, it also noticed that the prince's face was abnormally flushed, and his labored breathing was filled with hot air.
"Oh, Prince, wake up, you have a high fever?!"
The elf said that there was no time to find out the reason, and hurriedly took out the antipyretic medicine from his small space, and hurriedly fed it to the prince by mixing it with spiritual spring water.
At this time, the quilt on the prince's body slipped off a little, and the elf's eyes also saw his bandaged right shoulder, and the bandage was completely stained with blood.
"What happened? I was away for most of the night and something happened?"
The elf was extremely surprised and didn't have time to think about it. He used his shadowless hand to quickly untie the thick bandage on the prince's shoulder.
*
As the layers of cloth were untied, the wounds that looked like they were pierced by fangs were horrible, torn and festering. The elves were shocked by the horror in front of them.
"Oh my, what bit you? It went through your shoulder blade!!"
The elf exclaimed, and then muttered to himself in confusion,
"That's not right. What kind of wound could become so festering in an instant?"
