Chapter 163 Sterilizing with Strong Liquor
Tweezers need a point of leverage to remove the object. Looking at the bullet tip that had just emerged, Tieshan was in a dilemma. If he wanted to hold the hidden weapon, he would have to insert the tweezers from both sides of the bullet. How much pain would that cause his master...
Nangong Ji sensed Tieshan's hesitation, opened his eyes and looked at Tieshan seriously, saying, "Continue. This is your first time practicing. There will be more opportunities in the future. I want you to take this medical skill home!"
After Nangong Ji finished speaking, he closed his eyes again. Tieshan, having received permission, no longer hesitated, "Thank you for your trust, Master!"
The tweezers were forcefully inserted between the bullet and the flesh, and Nangong Ji finally couldn't help but let out a soft groan.
Startled, Tieshan immediately stopped, and the tweezers fell to the ground...
Nangong Ji endured the pain and said, "Continue, don't worry about me, hurry up and finish!"
"Yes!"
Tieshan accepted the order, sterilized the tweezers with strong liquor again, and picked up the bullet once more...
The shopkeeper, watching from the side, felt his face twitch uncontrollably. If they hadn't come together, he would have suspected that this subordinate was a spy planted by the young master's enemy. The tweezers, slick with strong liquor, making intimate contact with skin—ouch, just thinking about it made him wince…
After some effort, Tieshan finally managed to remove the bullet. Blood gushed out like it was free. The shopkeeper, who was skilled at stopping bleeding, helped Tieshan stop the bleeding. Then, Tieshan followed the example of Doctor Yun and used sterilized needles and thread to suture the wound.
The shopkeeper became increasingly convinced that Tieshan was doing it on purpose, repeatedly applying strong liquor to the wound, which would surely cause excruciating pain. "Young man," he said, "if you keep using strong liquor, can your master withstand it? Who keeps rubbing strong liquor against a wound like that?"
Tieshan, fearing that Nangong Ji would doubt his intentions, quickly explained, "Shopkeeper, don't talk nonsense. Doctor Yunzhi said that instruments and wounds must be strictly disinfected with strong liquor! If they are not disinfected properly, the wounds are prone to suppuration, and the person is also prone to fever. Many injured people are not killed by the wounds themselves, but by the infection of the wounds!"
Based on past cases and after listening to Tieshan's explanation, the shopkeeper said, "Hmm, that makes perfect sense!"
Tieshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Nangong Ji and the shopkeeper believed him. He didn't say that Doctor Yun had used a transparent tube to inject a kind of medicine into his body, and he felt nothing during the operation. Moreover, he wasn't sure whether they used strong liquor for disinfection. Anyway, there was a strong smell of alcohol throughout the Yunzhi Medical Hall, so it must be true!
So, for the next few years, under the shopkeeper's influence, doctors in Xiangcheng used strong liquor to clean wounds. Patients with external injuries groaned in agony, but had no other choice but to endure it! After enduring the pain, the wounds usually didn't fester, and the patients wouldn't develop a fever, greatly reducing the mortality rate of external injury patients! The shopkeeper's reputation soared, and doctors in surrounding cities and towns rushed to imitate him. Patients were extremely grateful to him, until the Yunzhi Medical Clinic opened in Xiangcheng, and the doctors realized how foolish they had been…
Nangong Ji didn't sleep all night, and his dizziness worsened after the dressing was changed. To avoid infection, they decided to rest at the clinic for a day, and Tieshan gave the shopkeeper another gold ingot.
The innkeeper not only learned medical skills but also received generous compensation, so he was happy to treat them well and personally led them to their rooms. "I will be here to see patients. If they develop a fever, just have someone call me."
"Thank you for your trouble, innkeeper." Tieshan saw the innkeeper out and closed the door behind him.
Nangong Ji stared blankly at the bed curtains. As the second prince of Nanyue, he had been outstanding since childhood and had always been the pride of heaven in the eyes of his father and everyone else. Even the crown prince was not as favored by his father as he was. When had he ever been so embarrassed...
After a night's rest, Yang Jianwu was fully recovered. Unable to sleep last night, she went into her space to check if there were any better medicines to treat internal injuries. The scanner automatically scanned her body and said that her internal organs were damaged and that soaking in spring water could help with recovery.
With a skeptical attitude, Yang Jianwu soaked in the spatial spring water for most of the night, and clearly felt that her internal organs were gradually repairing. Except for the blocked meridians, her internal energy was fully restored.
Haha~ I never knew the spatial spring water had this function. I won't have to worry about internal injuries anymore! I wonder when Brother Ye will be able to clear his meridians…
Actually, Ah Xuan's internal strength is quite profound. I was originally thinking that if Brother Ye was too busy, I could ask Ah Xuan to help her open the channel, but now I think I'll pass...
Yang Jianwu sent a message to the General's Mansion, saying that she would be away for a few days and was worried that her father was not eating well, so she arranged for Huashuiyuefang to send him meals on time every day.
For several days in a row, Puyang Xuan was refused to see Yang Jianwu every time he came to see her, with various excuses. Mo Ye took some time to come today and did see her, but only for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. The Xipan envoy had not yet left, and he still had to go back to the palace. When he saw Puyang Xuan before leaving, he only left him with the words, "Keep it up, brother!"
