Chapter 372 The Matter Is Over

The Indian man named Misael, after listening to Pan Liangji's explanation, did not dare to nod, but signaled with his eyes that he understood, and then followed the carriage to the medical hall under the Imperial Medical Bureau.

When Li Sanniang arrived at the clinic, she was surprised to find that the person there was someone she knew – a scalp doctor from the outskirts of Beijing.

After the group explained the technique to Dr. Wang, he exclaimed in amazement, "I have never seen such a method before. Dr. Li is amazing. This method is excellent."

Li San Niang smiled helplessly, "When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely tell everyone in detail."

This method is for emergency treatment, not a standard procedure.

After so much time, Misel's laryngeal edema has subsided considerably. Although she still doesn't dare to speak much, she can still make grunt and ah sounds.

"It's a hollow tube, but it's made so thin that it looks like a delicate hairpin."

I can pull it out, but even if the tube is thin, there will still be a wound. I'll have to trouble Dr. Wang with that.

After speaking, Li Sanniang had Pan Liangji and Misell explain before she stepped forward and pulled out the tube. There was a little bleeding, and Doctor Wang went over to take a look. It was indeed just a small wound, not worth using the suturing technique that Li Sanniang had taught everyone at the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

They applied some wound medicine powder and wrapped it in a clean cloth.

"This wound will take at least seven or eight days to heal, so you have to be careful not to get it wet."

The weather is cold now, so I'm not too worried about getting infected, but I still have to be careful.

Also, there is a risk of bleeding from this area. If you are going to sleep, you should lie flat on your back, not on your side, to prevent bleeding from the wound from obstructing your airway.

After giving a detailed explanation, Li San Niang planned to leave with Qiu Xiang, who had come with her.

Pan Liangji stopped Li San Niang: "I am truly grateful to Doctor Li for saving my life today!"

If it weren't for Dr. Li, I really, really wouldn't know what to do today.

Thank you so much.

After saying this, Pan Liangji bowed to Li Sanniang, and the shopkeeper next to him quickly followed suit, saying thank you very much.

Li San Niang accepted the greeting, then told Doctor Wang and left.

Today we came out to watch Nuo opera and the acrobatic troupe, but it's already past noon. If we don't go now, we won't be able to go today.

When they arrived at the mutton soup restaurant where they had arranged to have lunch with the Li family, Mr. and Mrs. Li were already waiting there.

As Li San Niang approached, she saw the Li family members sitting by the window. She heard Shi Jiu talking happily with others, and even the people at the next table in the restaurant hadn't eaten and were listening carefully to what Shi Jiu was saying.

Li's parents, who were sitting at the same table, listened attentively. Li's second brother even managed to add a few words about the scene, making it quite lively.

"Oh dear, Third Sister is back!"

Li San Niang instantly felt pressured. Anyone would feel pressured if they were stared at by a dozen pairs of eyes as soon as they walked in the door.

Despite the stares, Li San Niang maintained a calm demeanor, though inwardly she was seething with rage.

"Mother, Father, Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, I'm back."

"Is everything settled?"

How is that person?

Li Erxiong immediately asked, and Li Sanniang briefly explained the situation before asking, "Did the boss say if there would be any Nuo opera performances this afternoon?"

"Yes, not just in the afternoon, but there's also a different one in the evening."

It's a pity we have to go home early, otherwise it would be perfect to go see the acrobatic troupe in the afternoon and the Nuo opera in the evening.

"Oh my god, we've finally turned the subject around. If we let them keep asking, even the people eating next door might start asking me."

Li San Niang scooped up the delicious mutton soup with a spoon, thinking to herself.

In the afternoon, the boss, as planned, first went to see the Nuo opera, and then went to the newly rebuilt two-story opera troupe to see a very wonderful opera performance.

This time, although there were no large ferocious beasts, there were other animals present—a python!

It was a python hanging on the body of a beautiful woman from the Western Regions!

When Li San Niang watched, goosebumps rose all over her body, but she still stared intently, afraid of missing a single detail.

After watching the performance, it was almost time to leave. They bought some more things and then headed towards Changshoufang.

On the way back, the group discussed how amazing the woman in the troupe who danced with the python was.

"If it were me, I wouldn't dare."

That serpent is as thick as a man's arm, and so long! If it were to coil around you, you'd truly be dead.

Although Sister-in-law Li came from a family of martial artists and spent her childhood practicing swordsmanship with her siblings, it was hard not to be afraid of this cold-blooded animal in this state.

Li Ersao chimed in, "That's right. I've seen plenty of snakes when I go up the mountain with Grandpa to pick fruit and gather firewood, but I've never seen one this thick. A snake that thick must be very strong, and it might even eat people!"

The moment the topic of cannibalism came up, Luzhu'er, nestled in Li Sanniang's arms, became frightened and snuggled closer to Li Sanniang.

"Don't be afraid, Pearl. Your mother is here. The snakes are all in the mountains. If we don't go to the mountains, we won't see them."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

As soon as Li's mother saw that Lu Zhu'er was scared, she glared at Li Ersao, who was exaggerating.

Li Ersao looked embarrassed, but in her heart she thought that the long snake might really be able to eat people.

When they got home, Dewdrop saw Little Yellow's tail wagging like a whirlwind, and she cheered up again.

Li San Niang first took a lot of food to the neighboring courtyard to see Doctor Liang. The young boy from Shaoyang who came back with Li San Niang looked regretful. "I was too playful. If I had known, I should have gone with my junior sister. Maybe I could have seen her save someone."

Old Doctor Liang never expected to have to save someone's life today. Just as Li San Niang was about to explain, there was a knock on the door.

Fang Chengxian, having heard the noise, came over with Duoshou.

So everyone sat down and, with tea and snacks, listened to Li San Niang recount how she had saved the Indians at the shop that day.

"I have encountered this kind of illness before. The climate in the south gets warmer earlier than here, and there are many flowers there. In spring, many people cough, sneeze, and have runny noses. Some people who don't know this can really have difficulty breathing if they come into contact with pollen from the stamens of flowers."

The young boy from Shaoyang chimed in, "I suppose the Indians must be allergic to flowers to have developed this condition."

"I guess so. These pastries with flower petals on them might have been contaminated with pollen or something, which the Indians might not be used to, hence the dish."
