"You - you -" The girl in the red dress wanted to refute, but after opening her mouth for a long time, she didn't know how to refute, because what Zhang Xiaozu said was all the truth. She was so angry that she fainted. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaozu was in time. He reached out and grabbed a handful, otherwise he would have broken several bones if he fell from such a high place.
Zhang Xiaozu frowned and looked at the girl in the red dress. This woman was vicious and he didn't want to have any more entanglements with her. But if he just left her alone, he felt it was unkind. If a wild beast passed by after he left, he would tear her apart. Food is really cruel.
"Hey -" Zhang Xiaozu suddenly sighed with a wry smile, feeling that he was too mean. This evil woman in front of him was obviously an enemy. Just a short while ago, he hated her so much that he gritted his teeth with hatred, but now he was worried about her life safety. He What a bitch.
In the end, Zhang Xiaozhu still failed to pass the test of conscience and could not leave the unconscious girl in the red dress. He comforted himself by repaying the girl in the red dress for protecting her from the cliff and giving her a meal, and his heart suddenly felt smooth. A lot. I no longer worry about whether I am a bitch or not.
Zhang Xiaozu jumped down from the towering tree with the girl in the red dress and placed her on the ground. After thinking about it, he felt that he should untie the whip that tied her up first, otherwise the powerful effect of Xugu Shengji Pills would cause the whip on her body. The barbs can easily grow into the flesh, and it will be ten times more painful to untie the whip.
In order to undo the whip, he had to pull out the barbs from the flesh and blood of the girl in the red dress. Zhang Xiaozu stared at it for a while and couldn't bear to do it. The sharp barbs would definitely bring out the flesh and blood when they were pulled out. It feels cruel to think about it.
"How could there be such a vicious weapon in the world? Who designed it? He must not be a good person." Zhang Xiaozu muttered, and at the same time, with determination, he pinched the end of a barb and slowly pulled it out.
The barb hooked out a handful of minced flesh, and blood gurgled out.
"Ah——" The girl in the red dress woke up in pain and screamed in pain.
"You - what are you doing?!" The girl in the red dress looked at Zhang Xiaozu in horror, and struggled to get up from the ground. However, her body was tied tightly by the Feng Wu whip, and she had nowhere to use her strength. She couldn't struggle for a while, but Feng Wu The barbs on the dancing whip pierced deeper, and he had to stop his useless struggle in a hurry.
Zhang Xiaozhu didn't expect that the girl in the red dress would wake up from the pain. Faced with her panicked and questioning gaze, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment, as if he was doing something ulterior and was caught.
"I want to untie the whip on your body to prevent these barbs from growing into your flesh and blood. Do you have any good ideas?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked.
The girl in the red dress immediately understood why she was suffering from the heartbreaking pain on her back. It turned out to be the barbs being pulled out of her flesh and blood. Thinking of the horror of the phoenix whip, she couldn't help but turn pale, shuddered, and said in a trembling voice: "No, no. , there is no other way but to pull it out.”
"How do you take back the barbs after using this whip? It's impossible to push them back one by one, right?" Zhang Xiaozu asked curiously.
When the girl in the red dress heard this, she immediately screamed: "Absolutely not, if you forcefully withdraw the barb, I will die."
The phoenix whip was wrapped three or four times around her body, and there were barbs pierced into her back, chest, waist and abdomen. There were twenty or thirty barbs in total, and each one was pierced deep into the flesh. If he pressed the button on the whip handle to forcefully retract the barbs, it would be tantamount to tearing her alive.
"Handle - there is a button on the handle, you must not touch it." The girl in the red dress reminded Zhang Xiaozu in a panic. She was not only afraid that Zhang Xiaozu would accidentally touch the button without knowing it, but also that Zhang Xiaozu would deliberately press it after knowing it. button.
Zhang Xiaozu walked around behind the girl in the red dress and found a button the size of a little finger on the whip handle. The button was slightly concave in the whip handle and could not be touched unless it was touched intentionally. I couldn't help but admire in my heart: "What a brilliant design!"
Thinking of the powerful lethality of the Phoenix Whip, Zhang Xiaopou couldn't help but ignore its viciousness and became jealous of it. It was a pity that the "Three Steps to Kill" sword technique did not match it, otherwise he might have become a robber and snatched away the weapon. This whip.
"You - what are you doing?" The girl in the red dress saw Zhang Xiaozu coming around behind her and then making no movement. She couldn't help but become nervous, fearing that Zhang Xiaozu would kill her.
"Nothing done." Zhang Xiaozu replied casually, and then said: "Since there is no good way, I can only help you pull them out one by one. Please be patient and shout out if you can't help it. It's not embarrassing. Ready. ?"
"Yeah." The girl in the red dress nodded.
Zhang Xiaozu pressed the skin around the barb with one hand, pinched the end of the barb with the other, and slowly pulled it out, trying not to expand the wound surface and letting the barb come out along the piercing wound.
For the girl in the red dress, this was undoubtedly a long and painful process. Zhang Xiaozhu's hand pressing her flesh could clearly feel her body shaking from the severe pain, but she didn't even hum. He gritted his two rows of silver teeth and endured it.
puff!
A barb was pulled out.
Compared with before, Zhang Xiaopou's technique was much more proficient. The barbs did not bring out any pieces of flesh, but blood still flowed out, but this was inevitable.
Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't help but frown, thinking that if this continued, when all the dozens of barbs were pulled out, the girl in the red dress would bleed to death.
Although the girl in the red dress couldn't see the wound on her back, she might have felt the flow of blood and said, "There is hemostatic powder in the pouch around my waist. Take it out and sprinkle a little on the wound to stop the bleeding."
"Really? That's great." Zhang Xiaozhu said in surprise. Looking for the waist of the girl in the red dress, I saw a bag embroidered with red flowers hanging on her waist. It was the size of a gourd and bulging, and it seemed to contain a lot of things.
Zhang Xiaozhu untied the pouch, loosened the mouth of the bag and found that it contained a lot of things. There were several small jade bottles among them. I didn't know which jade bottle contained the hemostatic powder, so he simply poured all the contents on the ground.
"The cyan bottle." The girl in the red dress said, her cheeks couldn't help but blush, because her pouch contained many household items for her daughter, all of which were exposed to Zhang Xiaopou.
Zhang Xiaozu didn't feel anything strange. He picked up the green jade bottle and uncorked it. A slight pungent smell wafted out, like the smell of rotten tomatoes, not very pleasant. Following the advice of the girl in the red dress, he lightly sprinkled some medicinal powder on the bleeding wound. The powder turned red and crystal clear.
Miraculously, as soon as the flowing blood touched the medicinal powder, it coagulated at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, the wound stopped bleeding and coagulated.
"There is such a miraculous medicine in the world!" Zhang Xiaozhu's eyes widened, and he was infinitely surprised. However, he thought of the Xugu Shengji Pills given to him by Qin Rulan. The same medicine had magical effects, making these ignorant people like them see elixirs. , I feel relieved when I think about it. Maybe for the powerful families in big cities, this is just a common thing.
With the help of hemostatic powder, Zhang Xiaozhu no longer had any worries and pulled out four barbs in a row. From beginning to end, the girl in the red dress remained silent. However, her forehead, cheeks and neck were already soaked with sweat, and even the tips of her hair on the temples began to drip with sweat. Her close-fitting clothes were probably soaked with sweat, which showed that she was suffering from He was in great pain, but he just gritted his teeth and held on.
Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't help but put away his contempt for the girl in the red dress and looked up at her. He couldn't help but admire her for her tenacity and tenacity. Feeling her body shaking uncontrollably due to severe pain, Zhang Xiaozhu spoke again: "There is no shame in shouting out if it hurts."
Unexpectedly, the girl in the red dress said in an indifferent voice: "I have endured pain ten times more painful than this, so this little pain is nothing."
"Really?" Zhang Xiaozu curled his lips, noncommittal, but the screams of the girl in the red dress when she was captured were still echoing in his mind.
"Hmph!" The girl in the red dress seemed to know what Zhang Xiaozhu was thinking, and snorted coldly, "Do you think that the rich children of big families all grow up with honey in their mouths?"
"What if it's not the case? Are you like us ordinary people, who go to the ground with hoes to dig for food before dawn, and then drag their tired bodies home after dark? When there is a natural disaster, they don't have enough to eat. They dig grass roots and eat tree bark. When they are hungry, If you are anxious, you will even eat dirt." Zhang Xiaozu asked in reply.
He didn't stop moving his hands, deliberately provoking the topic to distract the girl in the red dress and make her suffer less pain.
"Haha, if you compare the living conditions alone, the poor people are far behind, but if you compare the heartache and suffering, the poor people are also - well -"
Zhang Xiaozu pulled out a barb. The pain made the girl in the red dress groan, but she immediately calmed down and continued: "It's also far from enough. The foundation of a big family needs to be passed down. If the new generation of successors only knows How can they bear the burden of inheritance when they are eating, drinking and having fun? They have to read thousands of books since they were babbling to learn the language to increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons; they have to learn etiquette and social interaction since they were toddlers. But if they make mistakes, they will be punished. Starting at the third watch Sleeping at midnight means there is almost no time for play. What is even more terrifying is the martial arts studies. Taking a medicinal bath once a month is like being bitten by thousands of ants on the bones, and washing the marrow and cutting off the pulse every six months is as painful as suffering a hundred thousand people from the endless hell. Torture. Did you know that half of the children of big families go crazy or die before they reach adulthood, mostly due to cruel martial arts lessons? Humph, those rich children you see who only know how to eat, drink and have fun are just low-income people. He is just a nouveau riche, how can it be so easy to be a descendant of a true heirloom family?"
"Ah?!" Zhang Xiaozu was very surprised.
"Haha, is it difficult to understand? You already have so much money, why are you so harsh and cruel to yourself?" The girl in the red dress asked with a sad smile. She continued without waiting for Zhang Xiaopou's answer: "Because you are not right to yourself. If you are harsh and cruel, you will regress and be overtaken by those who are harsh and cruel to you. After they catch up with you, they will turn around and eat all your bones and scraps. Only by enduring hardship can you become a master. That’s it.”
"This world is far crueler than I imagined." Zhang Xiaozhu said with emotion, and also expressed his realization these days.
Perhaps to divert her attention, or to open up a conversation, the girl in the red dress forced a smile on her face and asked, "What kind of world do you imagine?"
"Love and help each other, be kind to others, be harmonious and beautiful——"
"Haha - um -" Zhang Xiaozhu made the girl in red skirt laugh as soon as he spoke. The laughter affected the wound and made her gasp in pain.
"Isn't it childish?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked awkwardly.
"Yes. It's extremely childish!" The girl in the red dress replied affirmatively. However, she was silent for a while and then said: "But it is very beautiful. I hope that one day the world can become what you imagined!"
Zhang Xiaozu didn't answer because he knew it was impossible.
He moved in front of the girl in the red dress, pointed at the barb on the girl's lower abdomen, his cheeks turned red involuntarily, and he stammered: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
He pulled it out along the handle of the whip. He had already finished pulling out the whip, and it reached the lower abdomen in front of the girl in the red dress. This was the private part of his daughter's house, so he was embarrassed. The girl in the red dress had her hands tied and was unable to remove them by herself, so he had to plead guilty.
After the girl in the red dress reacted, her cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and she lowered her head and said "hmm" softly.
