"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 doctor?"
"We can't do that," replied Xu"After last night's battle, going to see a doctor mulberry roxanne 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?"

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

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

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 chloe paddington handbag 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 time' Afterwards I discovered that she can't do embroidery eitherAs they had been talking, another needle had been removed
"I didn't really want to learn," Zhou Qi continued with a smile"But when I found out that mother didn't know how, I pushed her to teach meBut I couldn't catch her outShe said: 'If you don't know how to sew, I don't know how you'll'"
