Tang Xin was not surprised that Hong Guoqiang had such an attitude. No matter who it is, they would feel uncomfortable if they were told that they would have an amputation.

Especially for such a strong-willed officer, they have been strong all their lives. Now telling them that they will become a disabled person and can no longer stay in the army would be like killing them.

Hong Guoqiang is still like this now, which shows that he is very strong. If it were someone with poor psychological endurance, he would probably be in desperate situation.

Tang Xin was calm and composed, and his tone was full of confidence and determination: "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with my treatment, I promise that you can return to the army."

Even so, Hong Guoqiang, who had seen a lot of storms, still didn't believe it. He had heard such words of comfort too many times, but what was the use?

Those doctors and experts all said that amputation was the only option!

Tang Xin didn't say much. No matter how much he said, it would be more useful to actually do it and make him truly feel hope.

"Let's do acupuncture first."

As she spoke, she opened the needle bag. This was her own needle bag, different from the one Jiang Yuanshan had found for her before.

When Hong Guoqiang saw the needle in the needle bag clearly, he immediately took a breath of cold air.

"Girls, if you want to cut, just cut it. Do it quickly. Why bother with all that?"

Tang Xin saw Hong Guoqiang's resistance and said calmly, "Are you afraid?"

There were hundreds of golden needles in that row, each of which was longer than a finger, and the tips of the needles glowed with golden light, which was frightening.

Hong Guoqiang swallowed his saliva and pretended to be calm: "Are you kidding? How could I be afraid of this? I am not afraid of rain of bullets, planes, cannons, tanks, it's just a needle...ah..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a scream.

Tang Xin had already inserted the first needle. Actually, it didn't hurt that much. It was mainly because he was scared and too nervous that he almost jumped up.

Tang Xin didn't give him time to breathe. He held his leg and inserted more than twenty needles into him. His leg was now covered with needles like a hedgehog.

After Hong Guoqiang had gotten used to it a little, Tang Xin began to explain.

"Acupuncture stimulates your nervous system to help you restore the motor nerves in your legs. After acupuncture, you need to take a medicinal bath, which is the most difficult step. The medicinal bath will help you reshape your bones and muscles, restore your injured parts, and reshape your muscles. If you can endure this, you can definitely save your leg. If you can't, then you will have to wait for amputation and spend your whole life in a wheelchair."

While Tang Xin was saying these words, his hands did not stop moving, and he continued to stimulate his acupuncture points with the gold needles.

Although Hong Guoqiang did not understand these words, he felt the unquestionable firmness in them, which moved him.

He was so eager to stand up again that he was willing to give it a try even if there was only a 0.1% chance of success.

"Pain? I'm not afraid. I shed blood and sweat without blinking an eye. A little pain is nothing."

Tang Xin raised her eyes and looked at him: "Okay, I hope you can still say these words later."

The acupuncture was completed and the medicinal bath was ready. The medicine for the medicinal bath was not difficult to find, as the hospital's Chinese medicine pharmacy had all of it. There were indeed a few herbs in the decoction that were not available in the pharmacy, but Jiang Yuanshan had already mobilized all his connections to find them.

Soon, several medical staff moved a large wooden barrel into the bathroom of the ward and filled it with medicinal bath solution.

Everything was ready, and Tang Xin ordered the soldiers standing guard at the door to carry Hong Guoqiang into the bathtub.

Hong Guoqiang let out a muffled groan as he entered the bathtub.

This medicinal bath was indeed painful, especially near the wound, as if countless small needles were pricking him. The pain was comparable to that of termites gnawing at his heart, and it was so excruciating.

But thinking of Tang Xin's words, he endured it, letting the big beads of sweat roll down his forehead. The blue veins on his body bulged out as if they were about to burst through the skin, which was extremely horrifying.

As time passed, the sounds inside became louder and louder, making people feel frightened.

Tang Xin sat calmly on the sofa looking at his phone, and the little soldier guarding the bathroom door felt his heart ached.

He had followed Hong Guoqiang for so long, and in his heart, Hong Guoqiang was like the pillar of their army, like an unshakable myth. Hearing him cry out in pain seemed like something that was simply impossible.

When he was injured this time, Hong Guoqiang also cried out, and he could actually cry out like this at this moment.

He was a little worried and asked, "Doctor Tang, is this really okay? Will the leader be in trouble?"

Tang Xin remained calm: "If you want his legs, this is what he has to endure."

The young soldier was skeptical, but did not dare to say anything. After all, their army could not be without Hong Guoqiang. If Hong Guoqiang's leg could be saved, it would be their top priority.

An hour later, Tang Xin said to the young soldier, "Send someone in to carry your leader out."

When Hong Guoqiang came out, he was completely exhausted. It was so painful. He felt that this hour was longer than a century, as if he had half stepped into the gates of hell.

Tang Xin checked Hong Guoqiang's condition. His legs were red as if they had been fried in oil. They were swollen all over and the wounds even seemed to be festered. It was unbearable to look at.

Liu Xi, who rushed over after hearing the news, immediately frowned when he saw this: "Nonsense, are you treating an illness? This is the first time I've seen a disease get worse the more you treat it."

Tang Xin said unconcernedly, "Letting the skin and muscle tissue grow new muscle tissue again will make the wound heal like a new life. This is a critical step."

In fact, what she didn't say was that the bones would also corrode and regenerate. It was impossible for ordinary people to believe that bones could be regenerated, so she concealed it.

But even so, Liu Xi still couldn't accept it.

"Bullshit, what kind of rebirth is this? I've never seen you treat illnesses like this before."

Tang Xin nodded: "So, you can only use amputation to treat it."

Liu Xi sneered: "You are really good at making up stories. I must go to the dean to complain about you. I have been practicing medicine for 20 years and I have never heard of such a thing."

Having said that, Liu Xi stormed out of the ward.

Tang Xin ignored her. What she was going to do was impossible for ordinary people to understand.

However, she believed that Jiang Yuanshan would stand on her side. The old man simply had a blind worship for her without any bottom line.

Hong Guoqiang was so tired that he couldn't utter a word. He collapsed on the bed, without even the strength to move a finger.

The young soldier heard what the two doctors said and asked uncertainly, "Doctor Tang, is the commander really okay?"

Tang Xin looked at the little soldier and said, "He will have to go through this kind of baptism many times in the future. If you are not strong enough, it would be best to find someone else to take care of him."

The young soldier immediately shut up and could only look at his leader with heartache.

Shortly after the medicinal bath, Tang Xin performed acupuncture on Hong Guoqiang for the second time. This time, Hong Guoqiang did not even open his eyes and remained in deep sleep.

The treatment seemed to be going smoothly, but what Tang Xin didn't expect was that the most difficult part was still to come.
