204 County Test First Place

After listening to what Ping An said, Sun Wen shook his head repeatedly: "A woman like this will have a hard time in the future. If Wan Changgeng has a little blood, I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate her. Ping An, are you sure about the operation?"

Ping An nodded, "I have done a lot of this with my master in the past two years. I am very confident that this is the worst. Of course, they would choose this. I don't plan to charge them. The cost of Baicaotang should not be much. After all, they just treated him. I will also pay for the subsequent medical expenses."

"Well, Ping An, the help between relatives should be limited. Don't give people the impression that you are rich. Tell them clearly if you don't charge any fees. Don't hide it."

"I know. After my leg is healed in the afternoon, I will go back to the inn to study with you. I don't plan to go to He Village again. If Uncle Wan doesn't help him this time, Dad will probably feel uncomfortable in the future."

Sun Yat-sen nodded and said, "Of course, they are brothers."

An hour later, Ping'an and Doctor Sun stayed in the emergency room, Daqiangzi stayed behind, and Xiaowu, Dawu, and Lin Feng all stayed outside the door.

Wan Qing and Wan Xiang squatted on the left and right of the door, their eyes almost staring at the door.

Ping An gave Wan Changgeng the anesthetic he made himself, then slowly opened his medical box and picked out two surgical tools he needed from the deerskin roll. He soaked them in a basin of water, and after a quarter of an hour, he wiped them carefully with alcohol on a cotton swab.

Finally, he clamped a ball of alcohol-soaked cotton wool with a clip and carefully applied it to the wound that had been opened by Doctor Sun.

Wan Changgeng had already fallen into a deep sleep at this time. This type of anesthetic had the fastest effect, but its price was also much higher.

"Doctor Sun, cousin, I will use a knife to cut the flesh on his leg in a moment. One of you will help me hold the muscles apart, and the other one will wipe the bleeding with these clean cotton balls at any time. I will put a few needles around the wound in advance, so the bleeding will not be too much."

Doctor Sun looked at his son-in-law's pale face. This child was fine in every way except that he was a little dizzy when seeing human blood. He would let him see more human blood later, but not now.

"Ping An, you should ask your people to come in. Your cousin is a little afraid of human blood, but he is not afraid of killing chickens. He will get better slowly in the future. For now."

Ping'an glanced at Daqiangzi and found that there was something wrong with his face.

"Brother, this is nothing. It will heal slowly in the future. Doctors cannot be afraid of blood. Go out now and ask Lin Feng to wash his hands."

Da Qiangzi silently opened the door and went out, and soon Lin Feng walked in.

Doctor Sun looked at the little boy in front of him, who was wearing a white sweater and a strange mask, and so were his guards.

Ping An also took out a simple apron and mask and handed them to Doctor Sun, motioning him to put them on. He would carry more than ten sets of such things with him, and there would basically be no less than three sets in his medical box.

Just as Doctor Sun put on all these, he saw Ping An pick up a knife. He had never seen this knife before and it looked extremely strange.

In the following time, he seemed to be in a dream. He saw Ping'an cutting the meat with a knife, and the young guard calmly used tools to separate the incision. He only helped to wipe a little of the blood that flowed out.

Ping An soon removed a few small pieces of broken bones, reconnected the bones, sutured the wound, put on the wooden board, and Lin Feng helped to tie it with sterilized cotton strips.

The whole process took no more than an hour, and the movements were almost smooth and impeccable.

Doctor Sun felt a little numb.

This is a true medical genius, right? No wonder the eldest son fell in love with her at first sight.

"Doctor Sun, there's no need to move your injured arm. He'll wake up in an hour and the wound will slowly start to hurt. But I'll give him a few injections later and he'll be much better tomorrow. I'll come to see him from time to time in the next few days. You don't need to change the medicine as before."

"good."

"Doctor Sun, what is the estimated cost before this?"

"It's only been two days since I treated him, but I used better medicine and it cost me about fifteen taels."

"I understand, Doctor Sun. Let them pay the previous fees themselves. If they don't have any, just pay them. The surgery fee includes the medicines to be used afterwards. I don't want his money. If we go by the fee set by the master before, I'm afraid it will be at least fifty or sixty taels. They simply can't afford it now."

Doctor Sun finally calmed down and said, "Okay, I'll ask them to pay the fifteen taels later. I can let them owe it. Ping An, let Da Qiangzi stay with his two sons to watch over them at night. Your cousin has learned a lot except for some blood-stunning tricks."

Ping'an's eyes were full of smiles. It was different after he became a son-in-law. He protected him openly and secretly.

"My eldest cousin is already smart, but the most difficult thing is to be calm."

Doctor Sun immediately laughed. He had a son and a daughter. His son did not want to study medicine and was already a scholar. He planned to take the provincial examination next October, but he was not very confident.

His daughter is well-behaved and obedient, Daqiangzi is a good person, his family is honest and loyal, and he is a relative of Ping'an. He is satisfied with this marriage.

Now seeing Ping An's medical skills, he was even more satisfied.

In fact, Ping An could have called another guard in and asked him to wait outside the door as well.

But he never avoided him from beginning to end, probably in large part because of Da Qiangzi's consideration.

It's a pity that I can't watch them perform surgery often, otherwise I could learn more and see more. At present, I'm afraid there are few doctors in the whole Zhou who can do this, especially those who are so skilled.

He has been practicing medicine for more than 20 years. If he were to use a knife to cut fresh flesh, he would probably find it difficult to keep his hands so steady.

How could an eleven-year-old child be so good, even if he had studied medicine since birth, it would only be eleven years?

He won't be able to do it in this life, as he will be fifty in a few years. He can only hope that his son-in-law studies hard and can surpass him in the future.

Three days later, the swelling in Wan Changgeng's legs gradually subsided and he felt more energetic again.

Ping'an no longer needs to come to the clinic, so Doctor Sun and his colleagues can treat him. He can stay in the inn and study with his master and wait for the results.

Wan Qing also heard from clan members that someone had seen Xu at the Xu family and went back to tell his father.

Wan Changgeng was furious and immediately asked his son to take him to the county government office on a donkey cart. He directly sued the Xu family and handed in a letter of divorce.

In ancient times, if a woman made a mistake, a man could directly submit a letter of divorce. A copy of the letter would be kept in the government office, which meant the marriage was dissolved and the woman’s household registration would be directly returned to her parents’ home.

County Magistrate Huang naturally knew that the eldest son’s apprentice was Ping An, and that Wan Changgeng was the elder brother of Ping An’s stepfather.

With this relationship, it is naturally convenient to handle things.

Wan Changgeng's legs were not convenient for him to move much, and his son was not convenient to show up in some aspects. County Magistrate Huang simply asked the yamen runners to kidnap Xu's family. Unexpectedly, Xu was actually at her parents' home, and was quarreling with her parents' family.

The reason, of course, was that the silver he brought back was divided up between his mother and his two brothers and their sisters-in-law.

Money is life for Mrs. Xu. She just heard from the doctor that her husband's injury was very serious and he might have to live with crutches for the rest of his life, so she took all the silver and ran away, fearing that her sons would use it all to treat their father's injury.

She had originally planned to go home in a few days, but who would have thought that her family members would be so blinded by money that they wanted to rob her of everything. They wanted to kill her.

On this side, Wan Changgeng was busy divorcing his wife and recovering the silver. As expected, the silver was recovered by the government, and only two or three taels were lost, which was still spent by his mother.

Xu was officially divorced, and it was even notarized by the government office. She was completely stunned.

She was reluctant to spend money to save her husband, but she didn't want to divorce him.

A few days later, the courtyard of the inn was filled with the sound of gongs and drums. Ping An not only won the prize, but also took first place. Sun Yat-sen was so surprised that he burst into tears.
