Chapter 22 Surgery
Lin Xuexi is unlucky, but she is lucky. When her life was at its most vulnerable, two people who appeared out of nowhere rescued her from the fire pit, even though she was about to face another fire pit, but nothing in this world seemed to be able to hit her anymore, after such devastation and humiliation.
She had been awake, which was undoubtedly a great torture for a person covered in wounds, but she seemed to be used to enduring the sharp pain coming from her body.
She closed her eyes, didn't want to move or speak, didn't even want people to think that she was alive, she was desperate for the world.
She decides to rot the secrets of "exploration" and "traversal" the base in her stomach, leaving these damned humans to survive, fend for themselves, and die out in the last days.
Why did these two people save themselves, she didn't have a clue now, she didn't think that they were attracted by her own distress signal, let alone that the man named Lifus was tempted by her beauty, although she was once very confident in her appearance, but now she is probably only disgusted, scared and spurned.
Along the way, she listened to the conversation between the two and felt that they were not bad people, but when they talked about the "donor", she had a vague sense of foreboding, wondering if they were going to do some inhumane human experiments.
She was taken back to their lodgings by the two men, and then picked up in the car by the man named Livers, the third time she had been naked in the arms of a strange man, the first two times when Livers carried her into the car and gave her a quilt.
Lin Xuexi has always felt that her current body is just a shell that passed through with her ideology 557 years ago, and when she was bullied and destroyed, she told herself, that is not me, that is not my body, the real I have died more than 500 years ago.
However, when her feverish body was picked up again by this unknown man, her first feeling was not the pain from the wound, but shame and embarrassment, and even a little difficulty breathing. She estimated that her face must be very red now, but fortunately, the inflammation and redness of her face should not be obvious, but she felt that Lifus must be able to detect that she was awake based on her gradually violent heartbeat, but he did not say anything about it and debunked it.
walked down dozens of steps, it should be a spiraling corridor, and then Lin Xuexi heard a "bang", which seemed to be the sound of a heavy iron door being opened, and then the air around it suddenly warmed, probably into a heated room, and finally she was placed in a soft and comfortable place, Lin Xuexi was sure that it was a bed.
"Time is tight, division of labor and cooperation. You go get some firewood to make the stove up, and boil some boiling water, and there's a pressure cooker in the trailer, and use that to burn. I went to find cotton swabs and gauze. Lin Xuexi listened to Lifus say to the little girl.
"Why is it all mine?" The little girl protested.
"You're skilled at the job, and besides, aren't you a fire-burning girl?"
"You bastard! Shameless! Wouldn't your conscience be condemned for bullying a budding underage girl like this? Okay, forget it, this girl doesn't remember that the villain can hold the bed in the prime minister's belly, this time it will be cheap for you, and next time, you wait. β
"Well, I know that we know that we are well aware of righteousness, righteousness is thin and cloudy, and the world is invincible, by the way, you don't patronize the bed, and take another set of sheets and bedding."
"You're a bastard!"
Lin Xuexi listened to the two of them go out after arguing, and after a while it seemed that the little girl came back first to build the stove, and the firewood burned crackling in the stove, and after a while, Lifus also came back, and she heard the sound of opening and closing the door.
"You go and feed her this." This is the voice of Livers.
"This can't be an aphrodisiac, right?" The little girl asked.
"I really want to smash it open and see, what are you thinking about all day long? This is a fruit juice mixed with sugar and some sedative and painkillers, although it is not a substitute for anesthetics, it is better than nothing. β
"Oh, okay."
Lin Xuexi's head was lifted a little, and then a hard spoon was stuffed into her mouth, and some liquid flowed from under her tongue into her throat, which was very bitter, and she was fed more than 20 spoonfuls before stopping.
The temperature in the house gradually rose, Lifus went out for a long time, the little girl was typing on the keyboard in the house, and Lin Xuexi quietly opened her only remaining eye and observed the surrounding environment.
Maybe it was because the medicine worked, she felt the wound less painful, it was gradually tingling, and she was very sleepy.
After about half an hour, Lifus finally came back from outside, and Lin Xuexi quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, even though she knew that Lifus already knew that she was pretending to be asleep.
Then her legs, waist, and both arms were firmly tied to the bed by the two of them, as if they were going to use her for human experiments.
By now, Lin Xuexi had already believed that these two people should not hurt her, but the instinctive fear still made her body tremble uncontrollably.
"Wow! This picture is so evil! The little girl shouted.
"Don't be poor, help me hold her head, don't let her move." Lin Xuexi listened to Li Fusi say this.
A pair of slender and thin little hands pressed on her forehead, Lin Xuexi didn't have time to think, the wound in her right eye suddenly came with a heart-rending pain, the analgesics didn't seem to have any effect at all, she struggled violently, twisting her body desperately.
"Ahh βββ" Lin Xuexi let out a terrible scream, just like when the steel bar pierced into her eyes.
"Hurry up! I can't hold her down! The little girl cried out with tears in her voice.
Lifus knelt on the bed, pressed Lin Xuexi's shoulder blades with his knees, pinched the steel bar with his right hand and pulled it out little by little, and held two chopsticks in his left hand, clamping them on both sides of the steel bar to prevent her eyeballs from being brought out.
Lin Xuexi screamed hoarsely, and later a ball of cotton cloth was stuffed into her mouth to prevent her from being delirious and biting off her tongue.
She bit the cotton cloth hard, made a "whine" sound in her mouth, and endured this inhuman pain again.
The steel bars were finally all removed, leaving a purple-black blood hole in the eye socket, and a lot of pus and blood flowed out, dripping all over the bed.
The wound was cleaned, the pus and blood were sucked out by a cotton swab, and the medicated gauze was attached to the eye socket.
But the pain didn't end, at least until the wound scabbed over.
The rope on her body was untied, and she was finally free.
Lin Xuexi groaned in pain, the sweat on her body had already wet the sheets and mattress, and she felt that she had collapsed so much that she couldn't even move her fingers.
Lifus washed his hands in the basin of water and said to the little girl: "Wait a while, you can scrub her whole body, and the wounds that were urgently bandaged before will be dismantled and re-bandaged, and you know that I am not suitable for this work." β
The little girl gave him a blank look: "You think beautifully!" β
"Be careful not to let the wound get wet, it will be easy to get infected." Lifus told him again, he was going to take a rest now, his forehead was full of sweat, not because of fatigue, but because Lin Xuexi's miserable cry made him palpitate.
The wounds on Lin Xuexi's body and legs were bandaged again, and there was still pain, but it was insignificant compared to the previous severe pain.
"If only I could have her hair as long." The little girl helped Lin Xuexi scrub her body, and she was washing her hair again, washing it very carefully, and every strand of hair had to be washed several times, which was a little lovely.
"Then you have to grow to her height first, otherwise with your current height, this hair will all be mopped on the ground and become a mop." Lifus never forgot to hit the little girl.
The little girl rarely didn't reply, but sighed and said, "You said how sad she should be when she wakes up and finds herself like this." β
Lifus didn't speak, in this last days, it is already a luxury to be alive.
"Why don't you wait for her to wake up before you have surgery? That way, she could at least be prepared. The little girl insisted that it was an operation, well, that it did use her hands.
"What I want is this surprise, and the mental preparation can easily turn into psychological pressure, telling her in advance that she will collapse if she doesn't get it right."
Lin Xuexi's bed sheets and mattresses were replaced with a new set, dry and clean, and her body was also covered with a thick soft quilt, she lay there, feeling so relieved for the first time, although the wounds on her body were still faintly painful. She didn't know if she had Stockholm syndrome, but she was really enjoying it right now, even in another parallel world, where she was adored by countless people, had a lot of money to splendour, and never felt it in her palatial palace-like villa.
The little girl finally washed Lin Xuexi's hair and coiled them at the head of the bed.
"Oh, that's not right." The little girl seemed to suddenly realize that there was something logical about this matter, "Since she hasn't woken up, why did you call me outside to tell me about this plan?" Didn't we say in the house that she couldn't hear her? β
"I never said she wasn't awake." Livers shrugged his shoulders and said he hadn't said that.
"You mean ......"
"That's right." Lifus interrupted her.
"And how do you know?" The little girl was curious.
"Then you don't care, I just know." Lifus said with a smile.
"Virtue, not to mention pulling down." The little girl glanced at Li Fusi, and then said to Lin Xuexi: "Sister with long hair, are you awake?" β
Lin Xuexi still didn't move, and she didn't open her eyes, she really didn't want to move or open her eyes, and besides, if she pretended to wake up now, it would be embarrassing.
"Do you think she's deaf? Or dumb? Idiot? Vegetable? The little girl was puzzled that Lin Xuexi was awake but did not respond.
"Your vegetative people are going to call? Didn't you see that she almost collapsed the bed just now? Lifus felt that the child was sometimes terrifyingly thoughtful, and sometimes pitifully naΓ―ve.
"So what's wrong with her? Autism? β
"She's seriously injured and in a bad mood, it's understandable, don't bother her, let her have a good rest." Lifus shook his head and said, hoping that this incident would not leave too much shadow in her heart, "I'll go and unload the unfinished goods on the car just now, there is cornmeal in the car, you can make some porridge for her to drink, it should be very thin, and add some sugar." β
Li Fusi went out to unload, there were only two girls left in the room, Lin Xuexi heard the little girl beside him and said: "Sister Long Hair, I know you can hear it, don't worry, no one can bully you in the future, I will protect you." β
She felt the little girl gently patting the quilt on her body like a child, and muttered, "Sleep, sleep, the sun will rise again when you wake up." β
Maybe it's the effect of the drug, maybe she's too tired, Lin Xuexi's consciousness is a little hazy, and it's both real and illusory.
Then, she literally fell asleep.
