Reborn into this life before the age of two, my Father vanished on his way to the provincial exam in the capital—alive, he was never found; dead, his body never returned. That very month, Grandfa...
327 The Child is Too Young
Half an hour later, Sun Sicheng gave the child anesthesia, inserted an anesthetic needle into the fracture, and drew a line on the broken bone with a brush. Wanli was not there, so he brought Dawu, Ruyi and Lin Feng with him.
Let Da Wu break this bone.
Sun Sicheng asked everyone in the Zhou family to leave and closed the door.
They can't bear to see it and can't stand to think about it.
Sun Sicheng repeatedly told Da Wu that Da Wu was strong and had steady hands, but the child's bones were tender, so he had to cut with just the right amount of force. If he cut too hard, the bones might break, and if he cut too lightly, the bones might not even break.
Ping'an looked at Da Wu without blinking. If he were to do this, he was a little unsure.
With a "crack", the child's shin bone broke.
Ping An shuddered when he heard this, and only heard the master say, "Not bad, the strength is just right, Da Wu is still very powerful."
Da Wu walked aside with a grin on his face. He couldn't help any more.
The child pursed his lips in pain during the anesthesia, but soon calmed down. This anesthetic is really good.
Just when Master Sun Sicheng and his disciples were performing surgery on the child in the inner room.
In the hall, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged each other and cried bitterly, but they didn't dare to make any sound for fear of disturbing the eldest son in the inner room.
Master Zhou tried to persuade him with red eyes, but he started to cry as he was persuading. His son was suffering so much, and even an adult could not bear the broken bones being reconnected.
Zhou Siye sighed deeply: "Why are you crying? Isn't it because you two are not careful? Okay, stop crying. What if the sound gets in and affects the eldest master? The operation cannot be disturbed at all.
Not to mention Sun Sicheng's medical skills, which are among the best in the entire Great Zhou. It is said that his apprentice is even better than his master in surgery, and many major operations on the border have been performed by him.
You all know Zhang Jinping. He went to the border town to deliver food and fodder two years ago. I heard that his spleen, stomach and intestines were all ruptured. It was this kid who did it. Even the eldest son had to help him. He is extremely talented in this area. The emperor even met him specially and called him the Little Medical Saint.
But his master is much better than him in other aspects. Now the two of them have joined forces. What are you worried about? What we need to do now is to take care of the child after the operation, and then ask the master and apprentice to visit the child more often. This is related to the child's life, understand?"
Several people nodded.
Zhou Siye took a sip of water, his mouth was dry and his tongue was irritated. He was also anxious and furious. It was really not a life for a human being.
More than half an hour passed, Ping'an wrapped the medicine and tied the board. It was indeed very painful for such a small leg to be tied with a board for one and a half months, but the adults just endured it. It was really difficult to take care of such a small child who would move his hands and feet when crying.
"Master, I know another way to replace this wooden board."
"Oh? Tell me about it." Sun Sicheng became excited.
"Master, go back and tell him. His family is waiting anxiously."
Sun Sicheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "What are you talking about now? Are you trying to piss off the master?"
Ping An smiled and said, "How about this, Master? If you go back and buy me some more delicious food, I will come up with another one. "
Sun Sicheng gnashed his teeth and said, "I'll buy you two big baskets later. If you don't tell me two ways, I'll spank you."
Da Wu and the others were all laughing on the side. They had never seen such a good relationship between master and apprentice.
Sun Sicheng opened the door and walked out, and the Zhou family rushed over.
"Don't worry, the operation went smoothly. The child should wake up in half an hour. Ruyi, take out the medicine. It contains painkillers. Take it three times a day at least."
The old lady said, "The medicine is bitter and I'm afraid the child won't drink it."
Sun Sicheng looked at Ping An and said, "It's normal for children to refuse to take medicine. Ping An, you can teach them how to give them medicine later. By the way, you can go in and see the child now, but don't make any sound, or he will be in pain when he wakes up."
Ping An nodded. You have to be ruthless when feeding medicine this way, otherwise if most of the medicine is spilled, what’s the use?
The Zhou family hurried in to see the child. The child was lying obediently on the makeshift bed, looking pitiful, but neither the mother-in-law nor the daughter-in-law dared to cry.
Soon, Zhou's father and son came out.
Zhou Siye hurriedly asked people to serve tea and snacks, and praised Ping An a lot. First, he won the first place in the school for poetry, and then he controlled a mad horse at the gate of the academy, preventing students from getting injured. He also said that the Imperial College would reward him later.
Sun Sicheng took the opportunity to mention that he wanted Ping An to study for half a day: "It's difficult for us too. Ping An's medical skills have been requested by our emperor. He can't neglect his medical skills. Even I want to take him to perform surgery on others, but he doesn't have time. Lord Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Siye was a little confused. He just studied for half a day and then left. There was really no such precedent in the Imperial College. But they even brought the emperor out, so what could he say?
"My Lord, I will go back and discuss this matter with the Lord Priest and try my best to satisfy you."
Thanks for being safe.
Young Master Zhou said, "Young Master, Young Master Ping'an, please come twice more for the child's matter. We are really worried."
"Of course. We will come to your house for the first ten days. After that, when things get better, you can bring the child over. But you have to take turns to look after the child for the next two months. You can't be careless at all. You can't go through this kind of hardship a second time."
Zhou Siye nodded hurriedly: "My son can only stay at home for three days. The county government office must be empty. However, my wife, my daughter-in-law and I will take turns to look after the child. I am worried about the maids and the mother-in-law alone."
Half an hour later, the child woke up.
Looking at the child's painful expression, everyone in the Zhou family felt so distressed that even Zhou Siye's eyes turned red.
"My dear, the child is suffering, is there any good way to help him?"
Sun Sicheng shook his head: "The child cannot be given water or food within two hours. He can only drink a small amount of water after his stomach and intestines are cleared. It is almost noon now, which means it is almost dusk. Only then can he be given medicine, which contains pain-relieving herbs.
The child has a splint on his calf, so it's impossible for him to get acupuncture. After tonight, as long as he doesn't move around and takes medicine three times a day, his leg won't hurt so much."
Ping An pulled Lin Feng over, took a bowl of warm water, and demonstrated to them how to feed the medicine.
The bowl of warm water went into Lin Feng's stomach without leaving a drop. Everyone watched him drink the water, and the boy's face turned red instantly.
The old lady smiled and immediately asked someone to give a few red envelopes to Lin Feng and the other two.
Zhou Siye shook his head: "It's really like a mountain between two different professions. I didn't expect that medicine can be fed this way."
Sun Sicheng said: "This requires the family members to be ruthless. Even if the person is half unconscious on the battlefield, they must be fed without leaving a drop. Otherwise, if half of the medicine is spilled, how much effect will it have?"
Out of the Zhou family’s gate.
He lay flat on the car mat without noticing the master's signal. Sun Sicheng kicked him but he didn't move.
"Good boy, you know how to eat Master Ding. What do you want to eat? I'll ask Ruyi to buy it."
Ping An opened his eyes and said, "Master, I am really tired. I will tell you when I get back. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are both holidays. Let's try to make some. But since you said so, I won't be polite. I want beef jerky, pork jerky, roast chicken, and milk jerky. I want more of each. That's it."
