His eyes were tightly closed, his face white and his breathing shallowGreatly frightened, she sat him properly on the horse, then with her left arm around his waist to keep him from falling, galloped on, keeping to lonely, deserted tracksAfter a while, she saw an inky-black section of forest ahead and rode in amongst the treesThe rain had stopped, and she dismounted and continued on foot leading the horse with Xu on it behind her until she came to a clearing in the forestXu was still unconscious, and Zhou Qi lifted him off the horse and laid him on the grassThen she sat down, letting the horse wander off to grazeHere she was, a young girl not yet twenty, alone in a strange forestShe began to sob, her tears falling onto Xu's face

Xu balenciaga motorcycle handbags slowly recovered consciousness and thought it was raining againHe opened his eye a little way and saw a beautiful face before him with two big eyes red from cryingHis left shoulder began hurting again and he cried out in pain

Zhou Qi was overjoyed to see he was still alive"How are you?" she asked

"My shoulder is extremely painfulPlease look at it for me, Mistress Zhou," he repliedHe forced himself to sit up and used his right hand to cut a hole in the shoulder of his jacket with his knife

"I was hit by three Golden Needles here," he said, examining the shoulder out of the corner of his eye The needles were small, but they had penetrated deep into the flesh

"What shall we do?" Zhou Qi asked"Shall we go to a town and find a replica cartier tank doctor?"

"We can't do that," replied Xu"After last night's battle, going to see a doctor would be like walking straight into a trapWhat we really need is a magnet to draw the needles out, but we don't have oneI wonder if I could ask you to cut away the flesh and pull them out?"

During the night battle, Zhou Qi had killed quite a number of the Manchu troops without losing her composure onceBut now, faced with the prospect of cutting away the flesh on Xu's

shoulder, she hesitated

"I can't stand the pain," he pleadedDo you have a tinder box with you?"

Zhou Qi felt around in her bagWhat do you want it for?"

"Collect some dried grass and leaves and burn up some ashWhen you've pulled the needles out, you can cover the wound with the chanel white j12 watch ash and then bandage it

She did as he said and burnt up a large pile of ash

"That's fine," said Xu with a laugh"There's enough there to stop a hundred wounds bleeding

"I'm just a stupid girl," Zhou Qi replied crossly"Come and do it yourself

She pressed on his shoulder beside the needle holesAs her fingers came into contact with male flesh, she involuntarily pulled back and her whole face turned bright red down to the roots of her hair

Xu noticed her blush, but misinterpreted her reaction in spite of his nickname

"Are you afraid?" he asked

"What have I got to be afraid of?" she replied, suddenly angry"It's you that's afraid! Turn your head away and don't look

Xu did as he was toldZhou Qi pressed the skin around the white chloe bag needle holes tightly, then slipped the tip of the knife into the flesh and slowly began to turn itBlood flowed out of the woundXu silently gritted his teeth, his whole face covered in beads of sweat the size of soyabeansShe cut away the flesh until the end of a needle appeared, then grasping it tightly between the thumb and forefinger, pulled it out

Xu forced himself to maintain his jocular front

"It's a pity that needle doesn't have an eye to thread through, otherwise I'd give it to you to use in embroidery," he said

"I can't do embroidery," Zhou Qi replied"Last year, my mother told me to learn, but I kept snapping the needle or breaking the threadShe scolded me, and I said: "Mother, I can't do it, you teach me But she said 'I've no le dix balenciaga tim
