C20 (2/2)
”Are you injured? Do you want me to take a look for you?”
When he thought back to when the cheetah was looking for him, the rustling sound of the grass was really too slow. When Dou Wang thought about it, he was even more certain of his judgement.
The cheetah must have come for his help. He didn't expect it to be so understanding.
”Let me take a look at your wounds. It might hurt. Endure it.”
When Dou Wang was so close, Dou Wang could see that the back of the cheetah's leg was fractured. The bone had already been pulled out of the flesh, and the skin had been cut out.
”You're injured so badly, how did you come here from the depths of the mountains? No wonder you walked so slowly.”
Dou Wang muttered to himself and started to look around for suitable tools to use. He was already used to drilling through the mountains and forests. As for finding something useful in the woods, Dou Wang had a good hand, so he quickly found two flattened branches.
Using no tools, Dou Wang used his mouth to tear off the bark, which would make it easier to grind the cheetah's fur. Dou Wang then tore off a piece of cloth from the edge of the bundle, poured some water from the water bag he was wearing, and soaked the cloth.
”I'll help you clean the wound first. It might hurt a little. Just bear with it, okay?”
Dou Wang looked into the cheetah's eyes. The cheetah couldn't speak, so he didn't know if it understood. However, its eyes suddenly blinked, and Dou Wang was unable to get any response, so he just assumed that it agreed.
But when the wet cloth touched the cheetah's hind leg, the cheetah let out a howl that almost broke through Dou Wang's diaphragm, causing him to fall off in fright. The cheetah looked over at him, and Dou Wang seemed to see the moisture in the cheetah's eyes, and his heart immediately went soft.
”Just bear with it. It's going to be done soon. Really, it's going to be done soon.”
Dou Shichang got up again and quickly wiped off the dirt from the wound. For fear of pain, Dou Shichang dipped it in water twice more to soften the wet cloth.
After cleaning the wound, Dou Wang started to sweat profusely. This was what made him nervous, the bone formation on the bottom was the most righteous one, he only knew the approximate method, but he didn't know if it was possible for him to fix someone's bone formation, he only knew that the bone formation was very painful, but he didn't know if the cheetah could bear it, or if it was mad from the pain.
”I'm going to give you a proper bone. It's going to hurt. Endure it. Endure it.”
He turned around and untied the big bundle, then opened the bundle containing the menthol, grabbed a handful of menthol and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it with all his might, and was also careful to not let the juice flow out.
When the menthol in his mouth was done chewing, Dou Wang took a deep breath and calmed the cheetah down. Then, he stretched out his hand and used his fastest speed he could think of to put the broken bone back into the cheetah's flesh. He even adjusted the position of the cheetah's body with his hand, hoping that the bones would connect together.
The first time it was connected, the more he wanted it to be good, the slower his hands became. To a cheetah, this was an extremely painful experience, seeing the cheetah in so much pain that it seemed to be convulsing, but this time the cheetah did not let out a sound, only that its large eyes were already glinting brightly.
