Chapter 12. Treatment
Seeing that the situation was critical, I reached out and opened the placket of the guard's chest.
"Xuan'er?!"
"Xuan'er?!"
I only heard the two people around me cry out in shock, but I didn't have time to pay attention to it, just to check the man's injuries. I saw that the wound was not long, it was a typical sword wound.
I raised my hand and expertly pressed on the side of the wound, and just used two points of force, only to see that the wound that was already bleeding was bleeding more violently. I had a bad heart, a deep wound, a lobe of my lungs that had been pierced, and had to be stitched up to get out of the crisis. But the length of the wound was only two inches, and there were no modern medical equipment, so there was no way to start stitching it. I gritted my teeth, and it seemed that I had to cut the flesh around it before I could suture the lobes of my lungs. It's just that in this backward ancient world, there was no sterile surgical environment, no antibiotics, and no first-aid equipment.
These thoughts flashed through my mind, and when I looked down at the injured person, it was already in shock.
My heart is horizontal: no matter what, it is a moment to be able to save life. He hurriedly took the empty hand, and just wanted to tell him what he needed for the operation, but saw an old man come forward. I looked at it, and it was actually the sitting doctor in the Rejuvenation Hall.
I only heard the old doctor say: "Alas...... The wound is too deep, and I'm afraid that there is no way to return to heaven. He turned around and wanted to leave. I grabbed the corner of my clothes and said, "Sir, can you have high-grade liquor, bone scraping knives and needles and threads for suturing in the shop?" ”
I saw the old doctor's eyes flashing with surprise. "Does Childe have a way to cure this person?"
"I'm not 100% sure of it, but human life is at stake, so let's just give it a try." As I spoke, I raised my eyes and found that the Rejuvenation Hall was not far away, and continued: "It's really inappropriate to rescue on the street, I don't know if I can use Mr.'s place for it?" ”
Without the slightest hesitation, the old doctor called a few pharmacy guys and carried the injured into the pharmacy.
Several men carried the injured man into a room behind the pharmacy, where various bottles and cans were placed. I didn't have time to watch, but rolled up my sleeves three or two times.
As soon as I stood beside the injured man, I saw a man come over with a wooden tray containing what I had just asked for, and I secretly praised the old doctor and the pharmacy guy.
I turned my head and saw Kong'er and Luanxi standing aside, but they didn't have time to help them out. Without further ado, surgery matters. Thinking about it, I began to perform simple disinfection and anesthesia. Holding the bone scraping knife, I couldn't help frowning, this knife is afraid that it has been used for a long time, and the blade is obviously slightly blunt. I thought to myself, although there was a bone scraping technique in this ancient world, it was very rare to perform it, and how many people could withstand such severe pain?
I shook my head and put the knife down. "This knife is too blunt, I'm afraid it won't work." Everyone was stunned when they heard this. But a flash of inspiration flashed through my mind, and I asked the other guard, "Do you have a saber on you?" It shouldn't be too long, about five or six inches, yes? Seeing that the guard seemed to shake his head, I added, "Hidden weapon! Hidden weapons can also be used, as long as they are bladed and the size matches! ”
The guard seemed to suddenly think of something, and saw that as soon as he flipped his palm, a willow-shaped metal blade appeared in his palm, just the right length. I took it, but frowned again, it is appropriate, but this hidden weapon has no handle, is it possible that I need to hold the blade for surgery?
After hesitating, I saw that the injured person's body suddenly twitched. The old doctor immediately stepped forward and fed him a pill to relieve his convulsions.
Seeing that the situation was critical, I had to tear the cotton cloth at one end of the willow-shaped blade, thickly wrap it around a few times as a handle, and detoxify the edge, take a deep breath, and choose a good position to cut the flesh of the wounded. The sound of gasping in the room suddenly started, but I didn't have time to pay attention, and just wanted to raise my hand to find a cotton cloth to wipe the blood stain next to the wound, only to see a hand holding the cotton cloth had reached over and gently wiped away the blood. I was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the owner of the hand.
It's empty!? I saw that his expression was quite natural and focused, as if he had become my assistant, and for some reason my heart suddenly settled down a little. The men continued to move.
Fortunately, although the wound is deep, the position is ideal, and the ribs basically do not affect the suturing of the wound. I stitched it up carefully, while Sora stood aside, wiping blood from the wound and handing me scissors in a timely manner without being reminded of me. My heart jumped: in my previous life, I was a thoracic surgeon, and it was common to do surgery, but it would take several years to have a deputy who would cooperate so well, but Kong'er was able to assist me so well for the first time, as if he knew what I was thinking......
In a trance, the wound in the lobe of the lung had been stitched up, and the bleeding had basically stopped. But I secretly cursed myself in my heart, when will I even lose my mind after surgery?!
Organize your thoughts, and then suture the outer layer of flesh and skin. The stitching of the outer layer is much simpler and is completed in a short time. After finishing the final work, I turned to the old doctor and said, "I'll leave the rest to sir." ”
While everyone was stunned, I didn't want to be too conspicuous, so I hurriedly left the back room.
As soon as one foot stepped into the front hall, he heard the old doctor call loudly: "Childe! Childe stays! He hurriedly caught up, stopped in front of me and spoke again: "I didn't expect that Gongzi is young, but he has such superb medical skills, I wonder if Gongzi is willing to practice medicine in my Rejuvenation Hall?" ”
I raised an eyebrow. Unexpectedly, this old doctor not only did not think that my modern medical skills were bloody and terrifying, but he valued them quite a lot. If he had genuinely invited me to sit in the court, at least the question of the source of livelihood would have been solved.......
I was still thinking about it, but I heard the old doctor say again: "The old man is old, and he has no children under his knees, but this Huichun Hall is a family inheritance passed down from my ancestors, and I really can't bear to cut it off." The old man saw that his son's medical skills were superb, and he didn't care about the lowly status of the injured and tried his best to save him. If the son does not dislike it, he will practice medicine in this rejuvenation hall, and after the old man is a hundred years old, this medicine hall will be owned by the son, I don't know what the son wants? ”
When I heard what the old doctor said, I knew in my heart, and I thought that he had no need to deceive me. And I saw that he spoke earnestly, and looked at me full of hope, and obviously did not allow me to refuse. So I thought about the wording before I spoke: "Mr. has won the award, but I can't bear to see death and not save it." It is a blessing that the gentleman can see the medical skills of the upper and lower levels. It's just that as the saying goes, there is no merit and no luck, it is better for Mr. to accept him as a disciple, and Xu Zai will do his best to fulfill the filial piety of his disciples, and he can feel at ease below. ”
I'm not deliberately lowering my figure, but if I agree to the old doctor's proposal, I'm afraid that most of the guys in the shop will be unhappy. I just do this so that I can go smoothly in the future.
I saw the look of appreciation in the old man's eyes, and he agreed. I briefly exchanged a few polite words with him and told him that I would come to the shop to report when I was settled. The old doctor was very satisfied and kept sending me out of the pharmacy.
Luanxi didn't dare to stay outside the palace much because one of the guards was injured, so he stood in front of the carriage and said goodbye to me, but there was something strange in his eyes. "Xuan'er, when did you learn your medical skills? And it's such a bloody medical technique? "Her face was ugly, probably recalling the scene when I had surgery.
I replied, "I learned it recently." ”
"But you have always been timid, and you are especially afraid of blood......" she seemed to say to me, as if she were talking to herself.
"People change." That's all I can say to her. She thought she must have wondered why I was behaving so abnormally, but she didn't know that the soul in this body was no longer the same as before.
She didn't want to hear me answer like that, but her eyes were filled with tears again. "Xuan'er, how much have you suffered in the past two years to become what you are now?"
I was speechless, it was better that she thought so, at least I didn't have to bother to explain it to her.
Luan Xi looked at the empty space and said to me helplessly: "I want to go back to the palace as soon as possible." ”
I nodded.
Seeing Luanxi's carriage leave, I took Kong'er's hand. "It's getting late, let's go back to the mountain soon."
Sora let out an "um" and led me back to where I was tethered.
******
Riding on horseback, I combed through what I had seen earlier in the day: the set of mutton fat hostas in Xianyunfang, the inscription poem on the Feiyan hairpin, and the sentence that the sky read in my ear last night, "May Feiyan read the clear sky"......
His thoughts were a little confused: the proprietress of the Slender Cloud Workshop said that the hairpin was custom-made by a distinguished guest two years ago, and that it was intended to be given to his fiancée. But why hasn't he taken it for two years?
Two years...... I remembered that the original owner had an accident two years ago. I thought about it, and shook my head again, the hairpin should not be customized by the scumbag for the original owner, how can there be such a coincidence in the world.
But the inscription poem on the hairpin flashed in my mind. Since the hairpin is a love object, the inscription poem on the hairpin must have special significance for those two people. But he had read the second half of the poem to me, so why did he read it to me? No, he missed the original owner. And he asked me to call him to read emptiness, to read emptiness......
As I silently recited the name, a flash of inspiration struck me, and my body froze. "May Feiyan think of the clear sky", read the clear sky, read the ...... Empty! My eyes widened, and it turned out that his name was hidden in this poem! And since this poem is engraved on the object of love, it must be a love poem. Could it be that this hairpin was really given to the original owner?! Could it be that my initial suspicion was correct? Is Kong'er really the man in Tsing Yi who put the original owner to death?!
Thinking of this, my heart shuddered, if this is the case, then isn't his innocence all faked? But why did he pretend? Afraid that the original owner will wake up and not forgive him? But if he really took the initiative to take the initiative for the original owner, shouldn't the first thing he have to do after the original owner wakes up be to ask for forgiveness? And why pretend to be stupid? Could it be that he wasn't pretending? Thinking of his affectionate appearance last night, I have a slight suspicion: he did not have the innocence of the day at all last night, but is quite consistent with the gentle image of embracing me in my dream. What the hell is going on?
Then he remembered the Assassins who appeared today. The Assassin was clearly coming for me, but why? Could it be that the original owner offended someone before? Then do I still want to go to the Rejuvenation Hall to practice medicine? What if I run into an Assassin again?
Thinking of this, I suddenly became annoyed: If it weren't for today's accident, I should have asked Luanxi about the identity of the original owner, but now I don't know who wants my life.
The chaos of my thoughts gives me some headaches.
The horses below me gradually stopped, and I looked up to find that I had returned to the foot of Lingxiu Mountain. He made a gesture to carry me off the horse. But I suddenly remembered that he was probably the man in Tsing Yi who had hurt the original owner the most, and I felt a pain in my heart. I reached out to block his outstretched arm, and his eyes were puzzled, and I didn't say a word, but stepped on the stirrups and carefully dismounted.
I had decided to keep my distance from him, and now that I guessed his identity, I should have done so. Although I don't know why he looks naïve, he still has to be vigilant. After all, it is very likely that the original owner died because of him, and I can't go her way again.
After dismounting and not taking two steps, he suddenly felt a tightness in his waist and was dragged aside by the man behind him.
