Reunion: The Guardians of the Five Elements

Chapter 21

"We need to remove the poison inside his body."
"He won't let go. Her hand will get infected if we don't treat it now."
"How? He got a tight grip over her hand."
"Liu Sang, let her hand go. You're hurting her."
"Don't force it! You're only making it worst, fatso!"
"Shut up, sour dumpling. The more we take this long, he'll die."
"Pang Zi, stop. Huo Dao Fu, ignore him. Let's focus on them. Please?"
"Kang Jian and I will prepare Liu Sang's room for you."
"I'll get your things in there. Let's go."
"Hey, Sying jie is waking up."
"We're back, Ah Sang. We're safe. Just give me a second and I promise, I won't let go."
~*~*~*~*~
It took a lot of time and effort for the team's doctor to get Liu Sang to let go of Bo Sying's injured hand with or not, the help of the others. But, it only took a few seconds when the latter console his critical patient to let go of her hand, only to be replaced by her other uninjured one. And just like magic, their hearing friend calmed down and Huo Dao Fu can get him into his room for treatment with Bo Sying. He didn't fret since she also needed medical attention.  "Tell me what I need to do, I'll assist you. I had my medical practice but don't expect too much." He looked at Chu Chu getting herself ready to help as he smiled at her, grateful. "Tell the two boys to get in here as well. I need a lot of hands. Bo Sying won't last long with that hand of hers. Time is in the essence right now." Huo Dao Fu said as he prepare as well while the other already left, not asking who was he talking about only to be surprised when Chu Chu returned with two boys that he had in mind. "Wash your hands thoroughly over there and then wear gloves. After that, wear a mask and the lab gowns that I will place over there, by the corner. Once you're done, Kang Jian, you will help me with Ah Sying's injury while you, Jia Le, help Dao ge with Liu Sang. Go." Then, like clockwork, the four get to work. Huo Dao Fu instructs Jia Le on what to do and the younger follows, obediently. The same goes for Chu Chu and Kang Jian as Bo Sying keeps silent. To be honest, she wanted to lay down and sleep but, whenever her eyelids tries to close with her friends tell her to do so, she suddenly felt her right hand getting tighten from Liu Sang's hold. Alright, Ah Sang. I'll stay awake for you until you feel safe enough to let go. She thought while gently rubbing her thumb over his hand, helping her partner relax, and smiled gently at him. With that in mind, she fights her fatigue and pain from getting treated by her friends while they distract her by striking a conversation about anything. At exactly an hour and a half, the four were done treating the duo when Bo Sying collapsed in her sit and Kang Jian caught her before she falls. "I'll help you get her settled in our room." Kang Jian said and was about to carry her when Chu Chu stopped him. "You're exhausted. You need to rest, all of us are. I'll ask the others to carry her." Once she said that Black Glasses Ge was just outside the door with the other boys, waiting, taking her by surprise. "How are they?" Wu Xie asked as she smiled at them. "They'll be fine. The poison is out from Liu Sang's body. Bo Sying's hand will take time to heal but it's not infected. But, she stayed awake through the treatment and collapsed. Can any of you help me bring her to our room so she can rest properly and inform the other girls to prepare her bed? That will help as well." She didn't tell who will do what but she saw Black Glasses Ge went inside the room with her and went towards Kang Jian and carefully carry Bo Sying in his arms, avoiding the already treated hand with Wu Xie helping her bring some medical supplies while Xiao Ge helped the three on whatever is needed for Liu Sang.

When Pang Zi told the other girls to prepare Bo Sying's bed, they already know that she's going to be fine and Bai Hao Tian made the bed while Xiao Mei clear the bedside table for the supplies that her Chu Chu jie will be bringing for her Sying jie. After Black Glasses Ge placed Bo Sying over her bed and instantly ask Chu Chu by the door if they needed anything and then left immediately while Wu Xie stayed when Chu Chu focused on Xia Yu Yan's injury. "Good thing Xiao Ge didn't hit you too hard or you'll have a broken rib. Not to mention, you also dislocated and force your leg to get back in its suckets. You're lucky that we just need to bandage them. Please, take it easy for now, Yan Yan." Xia Yu Yan chuckled at being reprimanded as Xiao Mei smiled at her big sisters when Wu Xie sighed getting their attention. "I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly but, on behalf of Xiao Ge and Pang Zi, I would like to apologize for what happened to all of you in the tunnel. Xiao Ge wouldn't have to hit you, he's your fiance and because of Pang Zi's outburst and the power the wood stone is making him feel, he triggered our Xiao Ge to protect Xiao Mei, unintentionally. For that, I'm sorry." "You don't have to apologize for them or them to apologize to us. Sooner or later, Ah Qi and I would be in an argument or fistfight and that's normal for him. He protects the people he cherishes. He felt Pang Zi being threatened and so, he fights. Don't worry about it, okay?" Xia Yu Yan said, smiling at him, reassuringly. He smiled back and left the room to give the girls some space. When he was about to go down the stairs, Bai Hao Tian called him. "Get some rest too, Wu Xie. All of us are tired. Especially when we made sure Xiao Mei and Pang Zi don't get killed when were inside the tomb." Wu Xie smiled at her concern and unconsciously patted her head like he usually do in the past. "You too, Xiao Bai. Thank you."
