035 Departure for one day and stay again

Ping'an asked his mother to help him sew two smocks. There were some blood stains on the clothes last night, and the cloth in those days was not easy to wash.

The fabric for the smock doesn't have to be good, any coarse cloth will do.

When Mei Niang heard what her son said and looked at the bloodstains on her clothes, she knew what was going on.

"I'll go to the cloth shop in town and buy a piece of coarse cloth. It just needs to be a clean color. I can make two of these blouses a day. Son, you can't ride a horse in the next few years. It's too dangerous."

Ping An laughed, "Even if I ride, I'm not as tall as a horse, and I don't have a horse. Mom, I'm going to the master."

A quarter of an hour later, Ping An followed the master to check on the ward. The young man watched them come in quietly, with a slight smile on his face: "Uncle Sun, I'm sorry for taking care of you last night. Thank you very much."

Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet you, and it's still like this. Mr. Bai, how are you now? Are you feeling unwell?"

It's normal to feel pain. You have two fractures on your body, two minor bone fractures. They will take at least half a year to heal, but they will get better in three months. You need to be especially careful these days."

Bai Jiaxuan nodded slightly: "Uncle Sun, you can just call me Jiaxuan. The housekeeper has already told me that we will leave with you in three days. I still need to trouble Uncle Sun to take care of my injuries. I can't leave any sequelae."

Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "That's it. I'll help you diagnose it."

He had known this child since he was very young and had treated him when he was a few months old. Whenever he returned to the provincial capital, he would be invited by the Bai family.

He stayed in Yong'an Prefecture longer than in other places. It was considered one of his strongholds, followed by Yuhang Prefecture and Yangzhou Prefecture.

His younger brother, Sun Siyuan, the second son of the Bai family, spent more time in Huainan Prefecture and Huaibei Prefecture.

As for his father, he has been in the capital all these years, and his old people and children are also there. The Sun Mansion in the capital is now the Sun family's base camp.

Bai Jiaxuan glanced at Ping'an who was standing beside him. The little child was standing there with a knot on his face, his eyes sparkling as he followed Doctor Sun's movements.

He had some feeling last night that the kid had been following his master and helping him.

But soon Bai Jiaxuan no longer had the mind to think about these things, and began to cry out in pain.

…

For the entire day, Ping'an followed his master to check on the patients' rooms almost every hour. Ruyi also prepared the medicine for three meals a day herself, while Erqiang followed behind to do odd jobs.

It is impossible to use anesthetics all the time. Ping'an was pleasantly surprised to find that the master would also give Bai Jiaxuan some pain-relieving drugs, and the effect was very good.

What interests him most is acupuncture. When changing the dressing, the injured area will be very painful, and even the painkillers will not be effective at this time.

The master would then use acupuncture and would patiently explain the acupuncture techniques to him.

He is very familiar with the acupuncture points on the human body, so familiar that he can recall the acupuncture point dot pattern with his eyes closed.

After the master explains it to him twice, he can remember most of it. Then he can write down the needle techniques and continue to study them the next day or the day after tomorrow. If he remembers them clearly, there will be no problem at all.

The difficult part is inserting the needle, which takes time. I will draw a picture and ask the carpenter to help make a simple human body. More practice is the key.

I had practiced acupuncture in my previous life, and I remembered several of the most famous acupuncture techniques by heart, such as the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles, the Three Qi and Blood Needles, the One-Hand Acupuncture Technique, the Two-Hand Acupuncture Technique, and so on. I even knew the pain-free acupuncture technique, but it was different from the one my master used.

No matter how good the modern acupuncture techniques you have mastered are, you cannot use them for at least eight or ten years.

Born with the memory of his past life, he does not intend to tell this secret to anyone in this lifetime, not even his parents, his wife and children, and not even his master.

The reason why a secret is a secret is that only you know it. If more people know it, it is no longer a secret. It may even become a death warrant. It is not that the people around you cannot be trusted, but that walls have ears.

At night, the master didn't want him to get up to accompany the night rounds, but he would not rest. He diligently wrote down the day's medical records, and then read the medical books for a while amid Erqiang's snoring.

It is necessary to take the test. In his previous life, he taught himself Chinese medicine and never really learned from a teacher.

What is written in medical books is completely different from what one learns from the real famous doctors of this dynasty.

It would be stupid of him not to seize such a good opportunity.

During the day, the master performed the Sun style painless acupuncture method, and he also tried the acupuncture points with silver needles over and over again.

It's a silver needle, but he doesn't dare to insert the needle yet. He wants to familiarize himself with the acupuncture technique first.

His small medical box contained a set of nice silver needles and some simple medical tools. These were nothing like the surgical tools he used in his previous life, but they were considered very good at this time.

He would try to draw a set of surgical tool diagrams. Occasionally, some unconventional ideas should be feasible, but they should not be too eye-catching.

The next morning, Mei Niang handed him two blouses. The clothes had been washed, made of slightly coarse fabric, and were a light blue in color. They reached his ankles and were a little too big, but she was satisfied with everything else.

Mei Niang smiled. She had specially enlarged the clothes because her son was growing up and he would have to wear them until next year or two. Such clothes could only be worn when practicing medicine and were not suitable for other times.

However, Bai Jiaxuan developed a fever in the evening of the next day, and the wound became a little red and swollen. After repeated attention, it became inflamed.

Sun Sicheng and Ping'an guarded the first half of the night, while Ruyi guarded the second half. Needless to say, the people from the Bai family, including Butler Bai, stayed up all night, and the other guards also took turns to guard the night.

Ping An felt that this was normal; this was how a doctor’s life was; everything was centered around the patient.

In the first half of the night, Bai Jiaxuan's fever finally subsided, and he even managed to drink a lot of porridge. This young man is really capable and not at all delicate.

Ping An was woken up early in the morning. When he opened his eyes, he saw Erqiang's enlarged smiling face in front of him. The kid had stayed up late with him last night, and now he was full of energy.

"Ping An, it's daybreak, we're going to practice soon, get up quickly, I'll go get some water."

Ping An nodded and sighed. Practicing martial arts is something that should be done before dawn every day, no matter how tired you are the day before or whether you have been outside or not.

The master said that they will be traveling outside for most of the year. If they stop practicing because it is inconvenient outside, then what is the point of practicing?

Erqiang went downstairs to fetch water with quick steps. These days were like a dream. He had rice for three meals a day, and meat was included with every meal, so he could eat as much as he wanted.

He was wearing new clothes, and practicing martial arts was something he enjoyed.

The only thing he didn't like was the homework Brother Jixiang assigned him. He had to recognize ten new characters every day and be able to write them.

This is a bit difficult.

Ten a day, that’s a hundred in ten days, and three hundred a month. It’s scary to think about it, it’s too many.

But Brother Jixiang said that these are the basic things that a personal bodyguard should know. It is not enough to just know Kung Fu. If you can't even write a letter when you go out, what will you do if you encounter problems?

Sun Sicheng and his apprentice changed the medicine for Bai Jiaxuan. The wound was still a little red and swollen, but not serious, which made him feel relieved.

If the fever continues tonight, he might not be able to travel early the day after tomorrow. No matter how busy he is, he has to stay. It would be fine if he doesn't meet them, but if he does, he still has to give some face to the Bai family.
