Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 20 This thing is a bit hot
After finishing her meal, Lin Xin cleaned up the mess and sat in the yard watching Lin Nan playing with the tiger. As she watched, her brows slowly furrowed because she noticed that the tiger's right hind leg was lame.

The last time I saw it limping, I thought it was caused by a fight with wolves, but now it seems that is obviously not the case!

After thinking about it, she walked over and felt the tiger's lame leg from top to bottom. Sure enough, she felt a hard object in the flesh below the leg bone. Every time she pressed that object, the tiger's leg would instinctively spasm, which must be painful.

But due to her "YIN power", he endured the pain and dared not move.

"Sister, is Big Cat's leg broken?" Lin Nan came over and squatted beside her, asking while trying to stretch out his little hand to touch the tiger's hind legs.

Lin Xin was afraid that he might not be careful enough and hurt the tiger, so she quickly stopped him and said to Lin Nan solemnly, "Nannan, be good. Big Cat's leg is injured. If it doesn't get treated, its hind legs might become lame. If it's lame, it won't be able to catch prey, and it might even starve to death!"

"Ah?" Lin Nan's eyes widened in worry. "What should I do? Sister, can you help Big Cat?"

"Sister, I just want to help it, but I can't do it alone. I need Nan Nan to help me."

"Okay, okay, Nan Nan will definitely help seriously. Sister, please help Big Cat quickly!"

"Sister needs to cut open Big Cat's leg, take out the bad stuff inside, and then sew the wound up so that Big Cat won't become lame. Can Nannan help calm Big Cat down while Sister does it?"

Lin Xin actually had anesthetics, but she couldn't determine the dosage, so she could only try the smallest one first.

"No problem. If it wants to move, Nan Nan can just lie on it and press it down, so it can't move." Lin Nan felt that his idea was really great.

Looking at the naive Lin Nan, Lin Xin didn't have the heart to tell him that even if there were three more of him, they wouldn't be able to suppress the big tiger.

"Okay, let's do it this way. Sister will go prepare the things and we'll get started."

"Okay, sister, go quickly!"

The big tiger in question had no tiger power at all, and with just a few words, he was destined to have his legs cut and his flesh gouged out.

Soon, Lin Xin took out a scalpel, gauze, an anesthetic needle, iodine, sutures, needles and cotton wool from the space and placed them in a row next to the tiger's legs.

The tiger didn't know that these things were to be used on itself, and it foolishly sniffed them one by one. As a result, the smell of alcohol irritated it and made it sneeze. If Lin Xin hadn't been quick to turn its big head in the other direction, all these things would have been ruined.

"Nannan, hold it down, sister is going to take action!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Nan pounced onto the tiger's back, swinging his legs hard to increase his weight to suppress the tiger. He took the time to reply, "Alright!"

The stupid tiger thought Lin Nan was playing with it, so it swung its thick tail and gently hit Lin Nan's little butt.

Lin Xin wasted no time. Before the tiger could react, she stabbed a needle into its hind leg. This needle, modified after the apocalypse specifically for mutant beasts, was incredibly effective. Sure enough, the tiger struggled briefly when the needle first entered, but that was all it took. Without even a second stab, the massive tiger collapsed to the ground, sound asleep. Lin Xin moved swiftly, wielding her knife to separate the fur from the tiger's hind leg and slicing through the fascia. She found the hard object near the leg bone: a metal tube about the thickness and length of a little finger. The tiger's flesh had already begun to turn black and necrotize where the needle had touched it. If she didn't remove it, the tiger's leg would soon be completely crippled.

She first put the metal pipe aside, scraped off the rotten and blackened dead flesh on the tiger's legs with a knife, and used her wood-related abilities to slightly repair its fascia to avoid any sequelae. She then sutured it layer by layer, and finally applied medicine and bandaged it up.

The entire process took less than half an hour, so the craftsmanship is quite impressive.

"Sister, are you okay?" Lin Nan had been pressing down the tiger and was already sweating profusely from exhaustion. When he heard some unusual movement coming from his sister's side, he quickly asked.

"Okay, Nannan can rest for a while." Lin Xin packed up the surgical instruments and saw that Lao Hu would not wake up for a while, so she simply sat aside and studied the metal tube.

She first wiped the blood and flesh off with iodine, revealing its true form. She discovered it was actually a hollow copper tube. Gently shaking it, she could hear a muffled "puffing" sound inside, suggesting it must be filled with something. Lin Xin was curious: who was the owner of this copper tube? Why would they think of sticking this thing into the tiger's leg? Aren't they afraid they won't be able to get it back?

"Sister, what is this?" Lin Nan came over and looked at it curiously and asked.

"Sister doesn't know either. She picked it up at the door this morning. But it must not be something important, otherwise she wouldn't have thrown it away casually. Isn't that right, Nannan?" Lin Xin didn't tell the truth. This thing looked extraordinary, and she was afraid that if Lin Nan accidentally told others about it, it would bring disaster to the family.

"Sister, you're right. Nan Nan's important things won't be thrown around." Lin Nan nodded seriously, agreeing with Lin Xin.

"Be good, go look after the big cat while I take care of this thing."

"Okay, go ahead, sister!"

Lin Xin entered the house and carefully examined the copper tube. She grabbed both ends of the tube and twisted it gently. The tube split in two, and a piece of silk as thin as a cicada's wing fell out. It was covered with densely written words in tiny calligraphy.

She took a quick look at it, but given the ancient people's habit of writing vertically, it was very difficult for her to read. She could only roughly make out some names of people, each with a corresponding official title behind it, and some marks that she couldn't understand, which should be special code words.

After reading it, Lin Xin concluded that this was probably a secret belonging to an official in the imperial court. The person who got it was probably being hunted down to the point of desperation. In order to prevent the item from falling into the hands of the enemy, he had no choice but to hide it in the tiger's leg. Today, she accidentally discovered it.

Lin Xin suddenly felt a little toothache. This thing seemed a little hot in her hand!

How to do?
After thinking for a long time, Lin Xin finally decided to just let it go! At most, she would pay more attention to the back mountain and see if she could find anything.

Looking at the hot potato in her hand, she once again hated the tiger in the yard. This guy always caused her trouble. Next time, she must give him a few more beggar chickens!
Lin Xin didn't use much anesthetic for the tiger, and it soon woke up from the anesthesia. As soon as it regained consciousness, it noticed the difference in its hind legs. Unlike the pain of the bones being gouged inside before, this time it seemed that only the skin and flesh on the outside were hurting.

Although its simple tiger head couldn't figure out what was going on, it instinctively felt that it was related to the ferocious two-legged beast.

"Big cat, wake up! Sister just healed your leg. Don't move now. You are so strong. The wound I cut will heal soon. You won't be lame when you walk next time!" Lin Nan was very happy to see it wake up. She squatted there and chattered while touching its hind legs wrapped in gauze.
