Under Cihang's guidance, I sutured several muscles attached to Yi Congshan's pelvis separately to cover the exposed pelvis and acetabulum. Then the outer flap is carefully sutured. It seems that it is not easy to touch the acetabulum inside through the skin.

Then I started cutting her other leg again. Cut the skin, flip up the flap, ligate the blood vessels, and cut the nerves. The muscles and joint capsule are then cut off, and the entire leg is removed. Then suture the muscles and skin.

Then use a white cloth to bandage Yi Congshan's short lower body. After three days of training, I have become very proficient in my technique, and the whole process is almost in one go.

"Uncle Shi, she doesn't seem to bleed much!" I say.

"It's the effect of medicine." Cihang said, "It's also your luck. ”

But I couldn't rest, so I went to Merlin's side again and shoved the anesthetic into Merlin's mouth.

"Uncle Shi," I asked Cihang, "where did Mei Lin's leg start to be amputated?" ”

Cihang looked at Mei Lin's scarred body and shook his head. "Seriously, with her injuries, doing bilateral shoulder and hip dissection may not be able to stop her infection. So I don't really know where to leave her. However, with her current condition, I am afraid that she will not be able to withstand such a big damage at all. Then try to keep more for her! ”

Finally, I amputated Mei Lin's legs four inches below her sitting bones in the position indicated by Cihang. Then he amputated her left arm three inches below her elbow and her right arm six inches below her shoulder.

After bandaging Mei Lin, I put Yi Congshan's complete pair of long legs and Mei Lin's four severed limbs in two boxes. I can't handle them without their permission. Because maybe they will ask for a complete body after death!

Looking at the six poor severed limbs, the two femoral bones in the flesh and blood still looked crystal shining. I sat down on the floor and sobbed silently.

It was the darkest time of my life, even when I was carried to the altar to have my bones removed, even if my legs were amputated. The only thing that can be compared is to witness the death of Brother Xiao Zhen and kill Sister Caiyun with his own hands.

The next day, Yi Congshan and Mei Lin woke up one after another after taking Cihang's pills. But under the effect of the anesthetic, they did not feel pain. Yi Congshan touched her lower body with her hand, but naturally she didn't touch anything.

"Are they all cut off?" She asked, "Really, you didn't leave me at all?" ”

I couldn't help crying, "I'm sorry! I said, "I don't have a choice." ”

She smiled slightly, "Nezha, I originally owed you a life. Now I owe you two lives. So my body is at your disposal. ”

She wasn't tall, but she had slender legs. The upper body that remains after amputating both legs is particularly short.

She turned to look at Merlin, "Are her legs amputated too?" ”

"Leave her a section, about four inches!" I say.

"Why?" She began to protest, "It's not fair! You bully me. ”

I whispered, "Cong Shan, don't compare yourself to her?" You see that her hands are gone, what's the use of that little thigh? ”

Merlin didn't react much to our conversation. She couldn't move anyway, and she didn't have any noticeable sense of the loss of a limb.

Xianyu's army had withdrawn two days ago, leaving only more than a dozen people who had been following Yi Congshan. When the army left, it took with them a large amount of loot plundered from the kingdom of Lai.

The Zhou army also prepared to evacuate after a lot of looting. According to Nangong Shi's lieutenant general, the harvest of this expedition to Li can be worth the harvest of the entire Zhou Yuan for two years.

The three parties agreed that Su Hou would take charge of the Li State and send his father Li Jing to temporarily garrison it. It will be confirmed after it is reported to the imperial court. The land of the State of Yan was annexed by the State of Hubei, and Lü Ding also went to loot it.

Cihang saw that Yi Congshan and Mei Lin's injuries were gradually stabilizing, so he resigned and returned to Putuo Mountain. Leave her medicine box with me when you leave. "Nezha," she said, "Merlin's condition is very precarious, and she doesn't know how long she will live." If her extremity condition continues to deteriorate, she may have to schedule another surgery. Yi Congshan's situation is the same, not to be taken lightly. ”

"I see." I said, and then asked, "Uncle Shi, is there any hope for their limbs to grow?" ”

Cihang looked at me, "What do you say, Nezha." They are mortal! Unless they become immortals. ”

"That's right! Do they have a chance to become immortals? I asked.

"Nezha," she asked, "how did you become an immortal?" You should know how difficult it is to become an immortal in the flesh. What's more, their spiritual power level is far inferior to the original you. If they want to regain their full bodies, they will not be able to become gods after death. ”

"Gods? Do they have this opportunity? I asked again.

Cihang smiled, "Then they have to die first!" Most of the gods who were enshrined after death were originally immortals in their lifetimes. Of course, it is not for nothing that mortals are gods. ”

I moved Yi Congshan and Mei Lin to two separate places to avoid possible conflicts between them. I was able to get a good night's sleep. Yi Congshan was served by her personal entourage. And Mei Lin's original entourage has already been slaughtered when she stormed Li City, and can only be cared for and guarded by my men.

When I entered Yi Congshan's tent, I heard her crying. I hurried over to her bed and stroked her shoulder. "Cong Shan, don't be sad. There's no way around it. ”

She turned her head to look at me, "I'm not sad, it's so painful!" When you amputated your legs, did it hurt too? ”

I was stunned for a moment, embarrassed to say that I didn't feel any pain at all, so I had to nod my head against my will. "Bear with me, it'll be fine after this while."

I went to visit Merlin again. She didn't cry, but kept moaning. It can be seen that her pain is not lighter than that of Yi Congshan. I touched the stumps of her limbs, and she frowned. This is actually good news. It shows that her limbs are no longer numb, but have feelings.

Half a month later, I left with Nangong Shi's army. Before leaving, I went to say goodbye to my father. I asked him, "Daddy, who are you?" Shouwang's, Suhou's, or Zhou's? ”

The father pondered for a moment and replied, "The army of Chentangguan is directly under the orders of Chaoge. But Su Hou can also be dispatched when needed. In fact, his father has been his person since before Xi Bochang was imprisoned. ”

"So, for so many years, you have been doing undercover for the Zhou people?"

He smiled, "Nezha, you don't have the ability to predict, I'm afraid you also know the destiny of Zhou." We can't be like your cousin, going against the sky! ”

I loaded Yi Congshan and Mei Lin into two high-end carriages each. Spread a thick mat in your car to reduce bumps on the road. Yi Congshan was served by her entourage all the way. Merlin was taken care of by my men.

Before leaving, I asked them what they were doing with their severed limbs. It's the height of summer and it's hot. Their severed limbs are difficult to preserve and quickly decay.

"Then incinerate my legs on the spot!" Mei Lin said, "It is used to pay tribute to the dead in the battle of Li Cheng. My hands, I plan to pay tribute to my masters Bixiao Fairy and Zhao Gongming when passing through the battlefield of the Yellow River Array of Rui Kingdom and Huashan. ”

"Okay!" I went to ask Yi Congshan again.

"Isn't it okay to just keep the bones?" Yi Congshan asked, "I heard that there is a medicine. The flesh can be melted away, leaving only the bones. ”

"There should be!" I said, "I'll find it for you." ”
