Chapter 79
C79 – So Violent
Tang Yue returned from his journey on the moon. When he returned, he first counted all the herbs and medical supplies they had brought. Then, he asked someone to carry the hunting tiger to Wang Zizhao.
Wang Zizhao was still enjoying the single room. When Tang Yue went in, he was talking to Hu Jinpeng. There was a bamboo tube next to his hand. The design looked familiar.
“Eh… Isn’t this…” The syringe he wanted to make?
Tang Yue held the bamboo tube in his hand and looked at it several times. He was surprised and surprised. He didn’t care about Hu Jinpeng’s presence and asked, “Your Highness, did you make this?”
Only the two of them had seen the drawings. They believed that Wang Zizhao would not leak it out.
If it was Hu Jinpeng, he would not be worried. He trusted this person’s character.
Wang Zizhao nodded and pointed to the end of the syringe. “I don’t quite understand what you said about the piston, and I don’t know if what you did was right or not.”
The syringe Tang Yue wanted to make was a simplified version. One syringe, one needle, and one piston. Except for the needle, they were all made of bamboo. It was very simple.
The needle was made by a craftsman beforehand. There was no way to throw it away after using it once. It could only be used in a cycle. As long as it was sterilized, it shouldn’t be a problem.
He didn’t expect Wang Zizhao to make the syringe in such a short time. There was something else.
He ran over and poured a bowl of water. Then, he used the syringe to suck a bamboo tube of water in front of Wang Zizhao and Hu Jinpeng. Then, he slowly shot the water out.
Tang Yue repeated the experiment three times and said, “The piston is too loose. There is not enough air in it.”
The two onlookers naturally did not know what air pressure was, but they could understand the first half of the sentence. Wang Zizhao’s tender face turned slightly red. He said as if nothing had happened, “This is my first time. It is inevitable that I made a mistake.”
Tang Yue laughed loudly and said, “Indeed. His Highness is exceptionally intelligent. It is already very impressive to be able to make a syringe just by seeing the blueprint once.”
This was definitely not an unintentional compliment. Modern people had seen the syringe before and knew the principle behind it, so it wasn’t difficult to make it, but people who had never seen it could only look at the blueprint. Moreover, it was very rare to be able to do it to this extent just by looking at it once.
Tang Yue had never doubted Wang Zizhao’s intelligence. If this person wore modern clothes, he would definitely be a typical genius.
Hu Jinpeng looked at the bamboo tube curiously. “What’s the use of this bamboo tube?”
Tang Yue deliberately moved the needle closer to him and said darkly, “As long as this needle is inserted into your body, you can extract the blood in your body and then… hehe…”
Hu Jinpeng took a step back and looked at the thin needle with a stiff expression. With a “Pa” sound, he actually fainted!
“…” Tang Yue looked at Wang Zizhao innocently. “I… didn’t do anything.”
Wang Zizhao frowned and got up to look at Hu Jinpeng. He found that Hu Jinpeng was really unconscious, so he looked at the syringe in Tang Yue’s hand.
Tang Yue patted his head and shouted, “He is seasick!”
Vice General Hu was actually seasick! Tang Yue did not expect such a big and strong man to be seasick!
Tang Yue put down the syringe and explained, “Some people will faint when they see the needle. It’s like some people will faint when they see blood.”
“Why is it like this?”
Tang Yue found it hard to explain. There were many reasons why he felt dizzy. Some were psychological, and some were physical. “Maybe he was just nervous?” Tang Yue answered uncertainly.
He walked over and grabbed Hu Jinpeng’s arm. Hu Jinpeng woke up very quickly. He looked at Tang Yue blankly when he woke up.
Tang Yue had no choice but to explain it to him. Some people were indeed sensitive to needles, but people like him who were healthy and not timid would find it hard to understand.
The matter was temporarily put aside. Hu Jinpeng felt awkward because of this matter, so he randomly found a reason to escape.
Tang Yue thought to himself. He could probably remember this matter for the rest of his life. This was not a small weakness. He had finally gotten revenge for the previous arrow!
Wang Zizhao took the syringe and tried it once. When he pressed the piston with his finger and shot the water out of the bamboo tube, he found it quite interesting.
However, when he thought that this thing was used on people, he felt a chill run down his spine.
“Can you really extract a person’s blood?” Wang Zizhao pointed the needle at his arm. He had the urge to give it a try.
Tang Yue quickly held his hand and wanted to say, “Brother, you don’t have to do this, do you?” You can’t even find the blood vessels. You can’t even differentiate the veins and arteries. How dare you stab your body randomly?
I really admire him to death.
Tang Yue pointed at the dead tiger on the ground and said, “If you want to do it yourself, try it on that big cat. Don’t move about on your body.”
Wang Zizhao only noticed the tiger’s body now. “Did you bump into it on the way?”
“That’s right. Good guy, you still dare to charge at us when you see forty or fifty of us. You are too blind.”
“Most of the big cats in the mountain have never seen anyone before. In their eyes, you’re just a bunch of food.” Wang Zizhao stabbed the needle into the tiger’s body and pulled it out with all his strength. In the end, there was not a single drop of blood.
Tang Yue went over and pressed on the tiger’s body. It was not stiff yet, so the blood should not have solidified. This needle probably did not pierce the blood vessels.
“Come on, I’ll teach you.” Tang Yue used a knife to cut off a part of the tiger’s hair. He stabbed the needle into the neck and slowly pulled the piston. “You have to draw blood slowly. This way, there won’t be too much pain.”
He pulled out the needle and shook the syringe. There was not much blood in it. It seemed that the body had started to harden.
Wang Zizhao tried it himself. He was not satisfied with the result. “Why is it so troublesome to extract blood? Why don’t you just cut it down and put it in a bowl faster?”
Tang Yue blinked. It was so rough!
“This… If the target is a human or a living thing, wouldn’t the injury be serious?”
He wanted to extract blood to save someone, not kill someone.
Wang Zizhao nodded. He didn’t know if he really wanted to accept this answer, but he decided not to use the syringe as a toy.
“Since you guys are the ones who hunted this tiger, why don’t you take it yourself and bring it to my tent?”
“Everyone said they wanted to show respect to you.” Tang Yue had actually contributed the tiger because he could not bear to deal with it.
Tiger Bone Brew Wine had a great effect on TCM. It could strengthen the bones, strengthen the kidneys, and remove the cold. Although it didn’t have strong evidence to support it, it could be passed on for thousands of years, so it must have a certain reason.
“You can leave Tiger Bone to me.” Anyway, he would definitely not eat the meat. He would not be able to pass through that hurdle in his heart.
Wang Zizhao didn’t refuse. He decided to let someone use the tiger skin to make Tang Yue’s shoulder. The weather was getting colder and colder. Tang Yue was weak and was the only military doctor. He should take special care of him.
Tang Yue didn’t know that he was going to enjoy special treatment again. He took the syringe and went back to sleep happily. He had a good dream the whole night. When he woke up the next morning, he found that his pants were wet.
He scratched his hair and threw the remaining dream images out of his memory. He had probably been facing Wang Zizhao day and night. Wang Zizhao was also a handsome man, so he would always walk into his dreams.
Anyway, this was not something he could control. When Tang Yue did not have a boyfriend, his girlfriend might be a sports star or a pretty boy he met by chance. It did not mean anything.
When he finished washing up and changing his clothes, he went out and saw Wang Zizhao practicing his sword under the morning sun. Some hidden scenes popped up again, making him feel hot all over.
Tang Yue quickly took a few deep breaths, letting the cold air suppress the anger in his heart. Only when his body had completely returned to normal did he walk over with an indifferent expression.
“Morning.” Tang Yue stood not far from Wang Zizhao and greeted him.
The sound of soldiers training in the morning came from the mountain forest. It dispelled Tang Yue’s sleepiness and gave him a new day to live.
In the entire team, only Tang Yue and Wang Zizhao had the right to sleep. The latter always got up early, so Tang Yue tried his best not to sleep, even if the blanket in this weather was too tempting.
Wang Zizhao nodded at him and did not stop his attack. He held the heavy sword with both hands and repeated the move of hacking and stabbing. It did not look as fancy and high-end as in the wuxia movies, but Tang Yue knew that such a simple move could also kill people.
The sword in this era was not the thin sword he was familiar with. It was narrow and shiny silver. The blade could still reflect human figures. In this era, the swords were all heavy swords forged from black iron. The body of the sword was wide and thick. It needed to be held with both hands to make the movements smooth.
Tang Yue had once tried to swing the sword once, but he felt his arm ache after only two moves. Not to mention killing people, it might even be difficult to kill chickens.
It was no wonder that swordsmen with superb sword skills were sought after by aristocrats. They would rather spend a large sum of money to raise them as guards and give them great freedom.
Tang Yue looked at Wang Zizhao’s weak body. He could imagine how much time and energy he had spent on practicing the sword, just like what he said to Zhao Sanlang. Any skill was not something that could be mastered out of thin air. Without sufficient willpower and effort, it would be impossible for him to practice it.
