Ashina didn't feel much when he fought and fled all the way, and it wasn't until he and Zuo Ying broke into this dilapidated mansion that seemed to be uninhabited, that he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, lightheaded, and difficult to walk.

Zuo Ying knew that he was in hemorrhagic shock, and if he couldn't stop the bleeding in time, he would probably lose too much blood and be life-threatening.

"Your Majesty, hot water is here." An old man in his old age came in from outside the door, holding a copper basin full of warm water in both hands, and a few fingers in one hand holding some miscellaneous items, "Xiaomin also put some salt in the water according to His Majesty's instructions. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Zuo Ying hurriedly took the copper basin and put it next to the bed, while picking up the damp cloth on the edge of the copper basin and dipping it in water to clean Ashina's wound indefinitely, she said, "Old man Xu, please come over and help me press this wound with a cloth first." ”

"Eh, eh!" The old man hurriedly put the things in his hand on the square table at the head of the bed, and came over to press the wound on Ashina's indefinite abdomen, "Your Majesty, please don't be so polite to the small people and torture the small people. Since Xiaomin heard that His Majesty resolutely stayed in Ziyang City to defend the city and live and die together with the soldiers and civilians here, Xiaomin has been full of admiration for His Majesty. Xiaomin is already in his last years, and it is really a gift from God to be able to serve His Majesty and the imperial husband for the rest of his life. ”

Zuo Ying curled the corners of her lips slightly, and nodded her head, concentrating on Ashina's indefinite cleaning wound.

The stimulation of the salt water on the wound made the groggy Ashina maintain a certain degree of lucidity.

"Imperial husband, I want to stop the bleeding for you. It can hurt for a while, and you have to hold back. Zuo Ying said as she looked at the thing that the elder had placed on the bedside table just now.

It was a sewing kit with cloth sewn open, and the opening of the bag revealed several rolls of uncolored thread and needles of different thicknesses inserted into a small cloth ball.

After cleaning Ashina's indefinite wound, Zuo Ying picked out the thinnest and shortest needle from the sewing kit, clamped the needle with the scissor head, put it in the flame of the oil lamp and roasted it for a while, then clamped the needle out and bent it vigorously on the ground, and then washed it in water. Grill again. It wasn't until she got a needle with a certain arc that Zuo Ying threaded the thread into the needle.

"Imperial husband, I want to help you stitch up these two wounds. This allows for better bleeding and faster wound healing, and is less likely to tear again during exercise. Zuo Ying explained while preparing: "Your wound is too deep and hurts the tendons and muscles, so you must divide it into three layers and suture it - first suture the fascia inside, and then suture the muscles. Finally, the outer skin is sutured. ”

Ashina, who was in a daze, didn't know if he could listen to it, and he couldn't make a clear response.

Fortunately, this is not the first time Zuo Ying has done this kind of thing. She has given stitches to different people in poor facilities, and even sewed stitches for herself. It's just that the biggest difference between this time and the past is that. If the past few times were not well sewn, they would leave unsightly scars at most; But this time, because the best time for treatment has been missed, if the treatment is not done properly, Ashina is likely to die indefinitely.

In front of him was Ashina's life in danger, and outside was a chasing soldier who could break into the door at any time, Zuo Ying's heart was under more pressure than any time he faced a similar situation.

She moved the lamp a little closer to the head of the bed. so that there is more light. She used small scissors as tweezers, grabbed the scient needle, and plunged into the wound on Ashina's indefinite chest.

The fascia is a layer that is relatively easy to suture, only a single suture is required, and there is no need to tie a knot, and the nerves on the fascia are not very rich, and the fascia has been sutured when Ashina is not very conscious.

After sewing the fascia, Zuo Ying rethreaded the curved needle on the line, calmed down, and took a deep breath. Then she grabbed the needle with scissors and plunged it hard into the wall of the wound - she was about to start stitching the muscles.

Ashina felt the pain indefinitely, instinctively twitched slightly, and let out a moan from his nose.

"Imperial husband, the most painful thing is to such an extent, bear it, it will get better soon." Zuo Ying soothed Ashina Wuji in a soft tone, while continuing to rotate the needle, letting the needle swirl in the flesh wall and emerge from the other end. Then plunge into the opposite flesh wall.

Suturing a muscle is not the same as suturing a fascia. Because the muscles need to withstand a large amount of tension, it is necessary to use a suture method that can better withstand stretching. She made the curved needle with the cotton thread swirl around the flesh wall, straining it and tying it in a dead knot. Cut the thread and sew it with another stitch.

After a few stitches, Ashina was almost completely awake in pain, his teeth were clenched, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

This kind of treatment method that even the old man Xu had never seen and heard of made him stunned and frightened.

"Old man Xu, don't worry, you just need to press the wound to stop the bleeding." Zuo Ying's unusually calm voice was full of contagion in such a tense situation, and it could make people calm down quickly.

The wound on Ashina's indefinite chest was relatively long, and it took more than a dozen stitches before it was completed.

In front of Zuo Ying, all that was left was the work of stitching up the skin.

The skin is also subject to stretching, so the essentials of suturing are similar to those of suturing muscles; The difference is that the skin on both sides of the wound must be aligned before suturing to avoid leaving an unsightly scar, and the stitching requires a finer stitch than suturing the muscle. Moreover, the pain nerves on the skin are the most developed, and suturing in this absence of anesthetic is the most testing of the will of the wounded.

But Ashina Wuji just clenched his teeth during the whole process, letting the sweat soak his sideburns again, but he never snorted again. The corners of his mouth were still tilting upward, as if he could still tell some jokes if it weren't for the weakness of the blood loss.

After stitching up the wound on his chest, Zuo Ying took the cloth in the hand of Mr. Xu to press Ashina's indefinite abdominal wound, and said to him: "Mr. Xu, please pour out this blood, and then go and carefully check whether there are any traces of our blood and footprints left on the way outside, if so, sweep them away immediately." I guess the thieves will soon start searching me and the emperor from house to house, and I'm worried that if any clues are found, it will affect my father-in-law. ”

"Good, good!" Mr. Xu couldn't help nodding and turned around to go.

"Wait, Mr. Xu." Zuo Ying turned around, showed a relaxed smile, and said unhurriedly: "Don't panic, just like usual." Don't talk about it to anyone, not even anyone you know. ”

"Yes, Xiaomin knows." Old man Xu seemed to settle down because of Zuo Ying's smile, and walked outside more calmly.

Zuo Ying tried to stitch up the wound without anesthetic, although it was only two stitches, but she had already deeply realized that the pain was not something that could be endured by gritting her teeth casually, not to mention that this stitch was more than a dozen stitches. Facing the wound on Ashina's indefinite abdomen, Zuo Ying was already a little unable to do it.

"Hey, what are you looking at...... "Ashina's indefinite and weak voice came, "Why don't you hurry up?" Wait a minute, the thieves will come...... I'm going to fight them to the death...... I don't have time to play with you here......"

He had unconsciously built up confidence in Zuo Ying's skillful techniques, and although he didn't know why she understood this, he felt that there was nothing wrong with leaving the wound to her to deal with.

Zuo Ying looked at Ashina Wuji, although his face turned blue with pain, but he still showed a childish and reckless look, he couldn't help but smile, nodded and said, "Okay, when they really come here, it's all up to you, the imperial husband." ”

After Zuo Ying finished speaking, she continued to needle Ashina to suture the wound in her abdomen indefinitely. The wound was not as deep as the one in the chest, and it was not as big as the wound of the wound. Zuo Ying completed the stitching faster than just now.

Next, she carefully helped Ashina clean up the blood stains indefinitely, bandaged the sutured wounds and other wounds that did not need stitches with a clean cloth, and then helped him change into a clean set of clothes brought by the elder just now.

At this time, Mr. Xu walked in from outside the door, and his pace was a little faster than the previous one.

"Your Majesty, Xiaomin has already checked the outside, and there is no trace left." Old man Xu squatted down and said eagerly: "But when Xiaomin was cleaning up in the yard just now, he seemed to hear some commotion in the street in the distance, I'm afraid that the thieves started to search for the two!" ”

"Old man Xu, where can you hide here?" Zuo Ying helped Ashina up from the bed indefinitely.

"You two, please come with Xiaomin." Mrs. Xu led the two of them out of the room.

Zuo Ying helped Ashina Wuji, grabbed his bloody clothes and blood-stained sheets, as well as his saber, and followed as quickly as he could.

After passing through a few or two halls, and then turning to the corridor next to it, Mr. Xu led the two to a study.

The windows of this study are bright and clean, the furnishings are complete, and the place is not small, but there are not many books on the shelves, and the few Bogu shelves placed on the wall are almost empty, which gives people a feeling of emptiness.

Although this is the depths of the house, there is almost no concealment at all, as long as there are thieves breaking in, you can see it at a glance, Zuo Ying and Ashina don't know why Xu Laozhang would bring them here.

I saw that Mr. Xu didn't say a word, came to one of the Bogu frames and squatted down, held a ceramic Maitreya Buddha statue displayed in the bottom corner of the Bogu frame with both hands, and twisted it hard, and the Bogu frame next to it actually moved to the side "boom", and a secret door that could allow two people to enter side by side soon appeared on the wall! Zuo Ying and Ashina couldn't help but show surprised looks.

Old man Xu stood up and said, "This is the dark room that the owner of the small folk family used to store precious antiques before. Since the owner moved his family to a foreign country, this place is also vacant, so the air inside may be relatively dirty, and the two of them have been wronged. ”
