Chapter 35: Healing and Persuasion
The broken door of Ji Liang's house was finally opened, and the houses inside were also dilapidated, but the small courtyard was cleaned up, and even the baskets were neatly placed in the corners.
Li Minglou, who was sitting on a small stool, took a look and looked at Ji Liang, who was sitting in front of him after being busy.
"Are you going to start?" She asked.
Ji Liang ignored her, his eyes roamed over several large and small needles, as if looking at his beloved son, his eyes were gentle and happy: "Which one to use?" Which one to use this time? It's the first time I've sewn a little girl's arm. ”
For the first time.... Fang Er's big hand holding the black umbrella trembled slightly: "Can't you go to the house and lie down?" It's inconvenient for my young lady to be outside for too long. ”
Ji Liang looked up unhappily at the black umbrella covering his head: "The light in the room is not good, it will be fine in a while, you." He called out to Motoyoshi, who was standing on the other side, "Hold her." ”
Hold it down... Yuan Ji took a deep breath and pressed Li Minglou's shoulder.
Ji Liang ignored them anymore, continued to look at his medicine box with a smile on his face, muttered a little, and finally picked up a thin needle, put on a thin thread made of unknown things, and pressed Li Minglou's arm stretched out in front of him.
The blood was simply scrubbed, revealing the churning flesh, the flesh was scary, the slender needletips were also scary, and the old man squatting at the door also held his breath.
Ji Liang thought of something and stopped: "The little girl is afraid of pain, but she can not hurt it." His eyes rolled, and with his other hand, he took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine box, "It won't hurt to sprinkle this." ”
After saying that he was about to topple, the small bowl that was standing silently on the side rushed over and grabbed his arm: "Dad, what is this?" ”
"Anesthetic." Ji Liang looked natural, "It doesn't hurt when I use this stitch." ”
Xiaowan's face turned red and asked, "Why haven't you used it for me?" ”
Yuan Ji looked at the small bowl, everyone already knew that this young man was sewn by Ji Liang, and he could imagine how painful it was to fly needles and threads on human flesh.
The anesthetic Yuanji knows it, and it has been used in the army, but the effect is not very good and it is very expensive, but it is dispensable and almost no doctor uses it.
Ji Liang didn't give it to his son because it was expensive, was he reluctant? It's my own son.....
Ji Liang said seriously: "Your rough skin and thick flesh are different from the little girl." He smiled at Li Minglou again, "And this young lady is a guest who comes to seek medical treatment." ”
The guests are noble, so with more noble medicine, the half-madman is not stupid, and he understands the world.
"You're talking nonsense!" Xiao Wan shouted angrily, grabbing the small porcelain bottle in Ji Liang's hand, "This is your new one." ”
Ji Liang laughed dryly: "Didn't you almost die of pain, I specially made anesthetics in the past few days, and it won't hurt if I treat you next time." Looking at Li Minglou again, he smiled, "This young lady is lucky, she can use it just right, and she doesn't have to suffer like a small bowl." ”
"Dad, I'm not going to let you try your messy medicine on this young lady." The small bowl was dumb and his voice was word-by-word, and he held the porcelain vase tightly in his hand.
Tryout......
With a creak, the handle of the black umbrella in Fang Shuang's hand seemed to be pinched off, and Yuan Ji's hands also left Li Minglou's shoulders, ready to land on Ji Liang's shoulders.
"What happened to the trial? All things in life, all things are from the beginning. Ji Liang said, he was also angry, "There is just this opportunity, why waste it." ”
He didn't quibble, but really thought like this, this person is really a madman, is everything just a tool to try in his eyes? It doesn't matter if it's a pheasant in the mountains, or a son, or anyone who goes to the doctor.
"Mr. Ji, I'm honored to try your newly made medicine." Li Minglou stopped Yuan Ji's movements, and looked at the young man who was holding the porcelain vase and retreated to the side, "Little bowl, I'm willing to try, I believe in your father." ”
Ji Liang nodded happily and said yes in a row.
The old man squatting at the door shook his head, although he didn't leave, he was in no mood to say a word, crazy people are crazy people.
The small bowl held the porcelain vase and lowered his head and refused: "His medicine is useless." ”
"You haven't tried it, how do you know it's useless!" Ji Liang shouted.
Xiaowan raised his head and was annoyed: "Have I tried less?" How many useless drugs have you made me try since I was a child. ”
Ji Liang said indifferently: "It's just that it's a little ineffective, aren't people good." ”
Compared to his father's sharp teeth, the small bowl only clenched the porcelain vase tightly: "You are not allowed to use it for her." ”
Li Minglou interrupted the stalemate between father and son: "Xiaowan, you also said that this medicine is useless at most, I am lucky to avoid pain, and it is still painful if it is useless." ”
Xiao Wan hesitated and did not speak.
"And I'm not in good health, I can't be outside for too long." Li Minglou looked down at his bare arm, although the black umbrella covered it, the arm gradually reddened, as if blood was spilling into the skin.
Xiao Wan was startled and walked over with an uneasy face.
Ji Liang stretched out his hand, but the small bowl did not let go of the porcelain bottle: "It's just anesthetic?" ”
Ji Liang snorted impatiently: "It's just anesthetic!" ”
The small bowl let go of his hand, Ji Liang grabbed the porcelain bottle, neatly sprinkled the medicine powder on Li Minglou's arm, and then tinkered with the medicine box, and then began to stitch the needle, the moment the needle passed through the skin, Li Minglou's body trembled and shrank, but fortunately Yuan Ji held her down.
"It seems that bad luck, the anesthetic did not work." Li Minglou said to the small bowl.
Her voice trembled, as if she was laughing, but it was actually painful, and Xiao Wan understood in her heart, and suddenly squatted down beside her and put her hand into her other hand.
Li Minglou, whose body was uncontrollable, subconsciously held this hand, as if he had found the source of his strength and clenched it to absorb it.
Xiao Wan bared his teeth and was about to cry out in pain, and at the moment when the voice rushed out, he stuffed his other fist into his mouth and bit it back, Fang Er glanced at him and held the black umbrella tightly to prevent a trace of sunlight from falling on Li Minglou.
The small courtyard was peaceful and quiet, the old man did not dare to look here, squatting at the door with his back to him, and he seemed to be able to hear the sound of needles and threads passing through the flesh and skin, which made the roots of his teeth sore and numb.
Crazy people, all crazy people.
The last thread was cut, Ji Liang looked at the wound on his arm that had been sewn up, and finally saw the scar on the skin that had wiped off the blood.
"How about digging this up and sewing it up?" He said with great interest, his hand reaching for the medicine box and pulling out a knife.
"I don't think so." Li Minglou said in a weak voice.
Yuan Ji covered Li Minglou's arm with the shirt he had taken off, and at the same time knocked the knife Ji Liang was holding away.
"If it doesn't work, try it and you'll know." Ji Liang was very regretful, and looked at Li Minglou to curry favor and persuade him.
Only at this time did he reluctantly move his gaze to Li Minglou.
"Is it the same on your face? Let me see. ”
Fang Er pressed the black umbrella and squeezed Ji Liang, who was about to lift Li Minglou's hood, away.
"Mr. Ji, thank you, I don't have the strength today, and I can't hold on to my injuries anymore." Li Minglou explained politely, and the person slowly leaned on Yuan Ji.
Looking at Fang Er and Yuan Ji who were eyeing each other, Ji Liang was reluctant to give up.
"Don't be in a hurry, I'll see when you have the strength tomorrow." He did not forget to remind Li Minglou to keep his word.
Li Minglou said: "Sir, my business is actually not in a hurry, I want to invite Mr. to Jiannan Road." ”
Ji Liang sighed, this time he didn't immediately refuse.
"The people in the southwest of Jiannan Province are in turmoil, and many soldiers are injured, and they are ..... with swords and arrows." Li Minglou said.
Before he finished speaking, Ji Liang sat up straight.
"Many?" He was short of breath, "How many?" ”
Yuan Ji said: "Many, not only our soldiers were injured, but also more casualties. ”
Ji Liang stood up and shouted Xiaowan: "Pack up your things, let's go to Jiannan Road." ”
