Chapter 182 A new arm has grown
Xiao Zheng said: "I...I dream of growing my right arm and having all my limbs intact..."
Bu Shangban said: "Then expose your right shoulder and pour the medicine on it."
Xiao Zheng gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, but I'm afraid I'll roll over on the ground in pain, so bring a few more of you to hold me down."
"No problem. How about we just put a mat on the ground and you lie on it. We'll hold you down and make sure you stay where you are."
Xiao Zheng said: "This is too troublesome. I have to find a cushion."
Just as he finished speaking, several pieces of cloth fell from the sky. Each piece of cloth was a different color and they were stacked together very thickly.
Bu Shangban looked up, and after listening to the god's instructions, he said with a strange look on his face, "This is the cloth given by the god. Let's give it to Xiao Zheng first. When he's done using it, we can divide the cloth and make clothes for ourselves."
"what?"
Xiao Zheng was flattered. He didn't expect that the God would take care of an insignificant person like him. He excitedly thanked the sky.
Bu Shangban said: "Just thank them in your heart. The gods disappeared after they put down the cloth."
The villagers of Baishan Village each held a bowl of detoxifying water, drank the water and watched the caravan members' every move.
Xu Yintong asked: "Do you need our help? If you need any, just let me know."
Bu Shangban said: "Not for now, we have enough manpower."
After Xiao Zheng lay down, everyone cut the sleeve of his right arm, exposing his shoulder.
One person held Xiao Zheng's head, one person held his upper chest, one person held Xiao Zheng's intact left arm, and another person sat on Xiao Zheng's legs.
Xiao Zheng cried, "You guys look like you're going to torture me."
"It's almost the same as the punishment." Bu Shangban came over with a bowl of water, dipped his hand in the medicine, and applied it to the broken part of Xiao Zheng's shoulder.
The next moment, Xiao Zheng let out a heart-wrenching roar. Because it was too painful, he began to struggle violently, veins popped out on his forehead, and the people next to him almost couldn't hold him down!
Only the person sitting on Xiao Zheng's legs looked relaxed. He didn't need to exert too much force and could easily suppress Xiao Zheng's legs with his body weight.
"Ow!"
Little Zheng was in tears and looked miserable.
Bu Shangban wiped Xiao Zheng's face with his sleeve and said, "There are gods above us. You should always keep your appearance clean and tidy. You are too dirty crying like this. The gods don't like it."
Xiao Zheng let out an indistinct whimpering sound. He was almost dying of pain, so he didn't care whether the gods liked it or not.
Old Xu watched from the side and sighed, "I thought I was in enough pain, but after seeing Xiao Zheng's reaction, I suddenly felt that I was lucky. I was only missing a little finger, but he was missing a whole arm..."
After saying that, Lao Xu poured some medicine on his little finger. While feeling the pain, he looked at Xiao Zheng's shoulder and felt that his pain was relieved a lot.
After a while, Lao Xu suddenly felt that his little finger was no longer painful. He looked carefully and his mouth almost stretched to his ears. "My little finger has grown out completely!"
"Old Xu, move your fingers and see if there is anything uncomfortable."
Old Xu controlled his little finger to bend and straighten continuously, and said happily: "This finger is very flexible, just like my previous fingers..."
After saying that, he squatted down beside Xiao Zheng and stretched out his hand to show Xiao Zheng his five fingers, "Look, I'm fine now, just hold on." Xiao Zheng's eyes were dazed. He didn't know until today that it was so painful that you couldn't even scream. He felt as if all the bones in his body were pulled out and he didn't even have the strength to struggle.
Only the constant burning pain in his right arm reminded him that he was still alive.
Bu Shangban might have felt that applying the medicine with his hands was too slow. Seeing that a piece of flesh had grown out of Xiao Zheng's right arm, Bu Shangban directly soaked the piece of flesh into the bowl.
In an instant, Xiao Zheng began to struggle again, but he only moved twice and then stopped moving again. He tried to open his eyes wide and made a faint "ho ho" sound from his mouth.
Bu Shangban was delighted, "Xiao Zheng, I found that if you soak your arms in water, they will grow very fast..."
As he was talking, the water in the bowl had been absorbed, and Xiao Zheng's arm had grown a lot longer.
Yu Zonghe had a good relationship with Xiao Zheng and couldn't bear to see Xiao Zheng's miserable condition. He brought a basin over and then turned around and walked aside.
Bu Shangban soaked the newly grown half of Xiao Zheng's arm in the basin. This time, the growth rate of the arm increased again.
Xiao Zheng went from being in excruciating pain to being numb and then to being in excruciating pain again. He was in a daze and didn't know how much time had passed. Suddenly, he found that the people who had been holding him down stood up one by one.
"I... am free?" The thought flashed through his mind.
Someone patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, get up and move around."
Xiao Zheng's mind was blank. He was in a daze. He used his hands to support himself to stand up. He shook his head and gradually came to his senses. He raised his right hand and said in disbelief: "My arm...is healed?"
Bu Shangban asked: "How do you feel?"
"Feeling? I feel good. All the hard work I just endured was not in vain..." Xiao Zheng moved his arms. He laughed first, and then tears came to his eyes. He started to sob, and his expression looked a little crazy.
Bu Shangban took two steps back and said fearfully, "Is he going crazy with joy? The good news is that his arm is intact, but the bad news is that he has gone crazy?"
Xiao Zheng sniffed hard, wiped his face, knelt down, looked up at the sky to thank the gods, then kowtowed three times before standing up.
The caravan members came over to congratulate him.
Lan Yueji said: "Okay, now that everyone has recovered, let's go back to sleep."
Xiao Zheng said: "I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at all..."
Someone nearby joked, "If you can't sleep, run around the village a dozen times until dawn."
Xu Yintong said, "Those thatched huts are not big enough for so many of you to sleep in. You should all live separately."
This time, Lan Yueji did not refuse. Ten members of the caravan went to sleep in the thatched hut, and the remaining twenty-three members dispersed to the homes of various villagers.
The little people didn't have much entertainment at night and usually went to bed early, but the caravan members were a little insomniac and discussed things about the gods with each other.
Lan Yueji's family of four moved into Xu Yintong's house, with the couple living in one room and the two daughters living in another.
In the darkness, Lan Yueji opened her eyes and asked, "Husband, are we going to settle here from now on?"
Xiao Fen was helpless. He couldn't speak now and could only gesture: [What else? We have no way out. ]
Lan Yueji said: "I always feel that Baishan Village is a bit weird. Look at the villagers, they are all so thin..."
