107 The Moment of Life and Death
Zhou Mohuai was carried back.
When he was carried to Guan Yu and Wu Qi, Zhou Mohuai's eyes were closed and his face was pale. A short arrow was pierced in his chest and a short arrow was pierced in his abdomen. It was in a dangerous position, but there was still a trace of breath.
Zhou Zhixiao's body was carried back with Zhou Mohuai.
"What happened?" Guan Yu frowned. Why did both of them fall down? It seemed that they were all because of being shot by an arrow. He squatted down to check Zhou Mohuai's injuries and pulse, and then roughly investigated Zhou Zhixiao's wounds. His face gradually became solemn. "Please General Zhou into the room and then prepare these things."
Guan Yu pushed away Wu Qi who was almost lying on Zhou Mohuai and cried, and ordered what he needed to do and what he should prepare.
Everyone thought that Zhou Mohuai was just slandered by a short arrow, but Guanyu looked at the short arrow that penetrated Zhou Zhixiao's throat and found that there was an inverted hook at the arrow. If the arrow inserted into his body was pulled out directly like usual, Zhou Mohuai would definitely die of excessive bleeding.
But short arrows must be pulled.
"What should I do, military advisor." Wu Qi trembled and pulled Guan Yu's sleeve, "General, he can't die."
Guan Yu remembered that he had read a medical book before, which was said to be written by the empress of Emperor Taizong of the Zhou Dynasty. It recorded a method of healing wounds, which was to cut the wound, remove the lesion, and then suture the wound, and then remove the thread of the sutured wound after the wound is sutured.
The book talks about the treatment methods and the tools required in detail. Although the tools are not difficult to find, the book has been hidden deep in the palace and no one has ever used this method. In the face of Zhou Mohuai's situation, Guan Yu was eager to try it, but he was not sure.
"Please General Zhou into a bright and spacious room."
The soldiers found all the things they needed, Guan Yu looked at Zhou Mohuai and hesitated.
To save Zhou Mohuai according to this method almost means to break the belly.
"Military advisor, save the general quickly."
Guan Yu frowned and considered whether to do this. There was a stir in the room and Zhou Mohuai woke up.
Since we can't make a decision, let Zhou Mohuai make a choice by himself.
Guan Yu squatted beside Zhou Mohuai, first checking Zhou Mohuai's pulse. Although the situation was not optimistic, it could still last for a while. Guan Yu first stabilized Zhou Mohuai's mood, then took a deep breath and told Zhou Mohuai about his plans.
After hearing this, Zhou Mohuai reluctantly sneered, "Yes."
There are barbs on the arrow, and Zhou Mohuai also understood that it would be difficult to survive if he was forced to pull it out. If he tried the method of Guanyu, there would be a glimmer of hope.
Death is different than death.
"But this will be very painful, more painful than drawing the sword directly."
Zhou Mohuai didn't speak, and he didn't know if he had lost his strength or because of anything else.
Guan Yu held his breath and arranged a few people to suppress Zhou Mohuai's hands and feet to prevent him from moving. Then he sent someone to find a jar of wine to pour it into Zhou Mohuai. Before he was about to take action, Guan Yu sent people to prepare various herbs to prevent accidents.
After making sufficient preparations, Guanyu still couldn't do it.
The barb can cause death because the hook will bring up the flesh and blood veins of a person during the pulling process, which will enlarge the wound on the wound, causing the injured person to die because he cannot stop the blood.
Guan Yu thought for a while, grabbed the broken arrow on Zhou Mohuai's abdomen and pulled it out hard. Blood gushed out instantly. Guan Yu squeezed Zhou Mohuai's wounds with gurgling blood, and then quickly applied the bleeding-resisting herbs and wrapped them in thick gauze.
The blood blew on the gauze. After a large piece of blood was dyed red, the blood no longer spread around it. It seemed that the blood no longer emerged.
At this time, Guan Yu still dared not relax. The arrow on Zhou Mohuai's chest was the most dangerous. He was not sure what the barb would hook in the process of drawing the sword, or the sternum or the heart.
He sprinkled some hemostatic powder on the wound on his chest, and observed the wound on his abdomen. Guan Yu explored Zhou Mohuai's pulse, and put his hand on the short arrow on his chest with a serious expression.
The previous disaster has passed, I wonder what this disaster is like?
Zhou Mohuai, who was unconscious or drunk, snorted lightly. Guan Yu stared at Zhou Mohuai's face, tightened his fists little by little, raised his arm, and blood spurted out with the short arrows leaving his body. The people close to him were splashed with blood. Guan Yu stopped Zhou Mohuai's bleeding according to the previous method, but found that the gauze had been changed several layers, and the blood was still constantly coming out.
Guan Yu's hands were cold. I was afraid that Zhou Mohuai would really fall into his hands. He gradually realized in his heart that Zhou Mohuai was unlikely to rescue him, but he still insisted on replacing the new gauze. Finally, the blood stopped.
After observing for a while, Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"If he can hold on for these three days, he will be alive." Guan Yu sent someone to take care of Zhou Mohuai carefully, and prescribed another prescription to send someone back to the Huaxi Corridor to get medicine.
After the arrangement was made, Guan Yu left the room and called the soldiers who were following Zhou Mohuai at that time to ask questions. Guan Yu asked clearly what happened, and then went to the front hall to check Zhou Zhixiao's body.
The short arrow penetrated Zhou Zhixiao's throat from behind, and Zhou Zhixiao should have died on the spot.
Guan Yu asked someone to take the tools, cut off the short arrow that penetrated Zhou Zhixiao's throat, and then covered the ugly wound with white silk. He ordered people to carry Zhou Zhixiao's body into the room and place it.
Guan Yu carefully observed the short arrow in his hand, but couldn't see the place. He sniffed the smell a little, and it was nothing unusual. The source of the short arrow was not seen from the surface. Guan Yu then used paper and pen to draw the short arrow completely.
"Is that third brother still alive?" The third brother is Zhou Zhixiao's confidant, and he might be able to ask something from his mouth.
This short arrow is usually used by assassins. He stayed in Wancheng for a few days, but he didn't hear that Zhou Zhixiao planned to assassinate Zhou Mohuai.
No, to be precise, Zhou Zhixiao had no idea that Zhou Mohuai would leave the city today to go to the big stone, and she could not have sent someone to ambush there in advance.
The soldiers quickly brought the third brother up. Because Wancheng City was broken, Zhou Zhixiao's whereabouts were unknown. The third brother lost his usual arrogant arrogance and was completely depressed.
"When was that assassin sent out?" Guan Yu glanced at the third child kneeling on the ground with his eyes squinted, and carefully observed the third child's expression.
"I don't know what assassin." Although the third brother was listless, he was still very tough.
Guan Yu's mouth curled slightly, "Kill Zhou Zhixiao's assassin."
The third brother rushed up and was pressed back again. He shouted loudly, his face as if he wanted to eat people, "What's wrong with you? What about General Zhou?"
Guan Yu waved his hand and brought the third brother who was on the verge of madness.
Based on the third brother's expression, Guan Yu concluded that the assassin was either not assigned by Zhou Zhixiao, or even the third brother was not aware of it.
But who would send an assassin with superb skills to reach this high-altitude lonely peak and a remote place, and lie dormant in the cold for so long. During the fight between Zhou Mohuai and Zhou Zhixiao, he released three hidden arrows one after another and shot Zhou Mohuai and Zhou Zhixiao one after another.
Perhaps there are more than one assassin.
Perhaps a top assassin.
According to the description of the soldiers present, Guan Yu inferred that there was only one assassin.
The assassin first shot Zhou Zhixiao, and the first arrow was very stable. Zhou Zhixiao was killed on the spot with one arrow through the throat. Then the assassin shot Zhou Mohuai. Perhaps because of the short interval and his skills were not mature, or because of other reasons, the second arrow was missed. The assassin was afraid that Zhou Mohuai would not die, so he quickly added another arrow.
If the assassin is not caught, everything is a conjecture and there is no way to know the cause and effect of things.
Guan Yu would not help Zhou Mohuai investigate, nor would he help him catch the assassin.
