Chapter 644: A Half-Baked Doctor (11)

Li Shichu ignored them. She quickly took out various surgical materials and medical equipment that she had prepared in advance. She first cleaned and disinfected the wounds of the injured. The three men who brought the injured watched her take out the patient's intestines and rinse them with the water with a strange smell. They were all stunned, their eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets, and then they retched uncontrollably.

"Ugh... What are you doing? How could you take out his intestines? You don't want to hurt him?" The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes questioned Li Shichu while retching.

"Shut up! If you don't want him to die, get out of here!" Li Shichu hated being disturbed when he was working most attentively.

The three people were half-believing and half-doubting. Although they had heard that Li Shichu was an excellent doctor, they didn't know that this was how she practiced medicine. Although their companion was injured in the abdomen and would most likely not recover, they couldn't let people do this to his body, right?

So they still wanted to argue with Li Shichu, but when Li Shichu looked at them with those sharp and cold eyes, they couldn't help but choose to believe her.

Li Shichu finally sent the troublesome person away and concentrated on performing surgery on the injured person. This man was very lucky. His intestines and other internal organs were not injured. There was only a big hole in his stomach. The wound looked creepy, but in fact, as long as the wound was sutured and there was no infection, it would heal quickly.

Li Shichu quickly sewed up the injured man's belly with thread. She had done this simple task so many times that she would not make any mistakes even if she did it with her eyes closed and by groping.

Not long after, the wound was sutured. Li Shichu applied medicine to him, bandaged him, and stuffed an anti-inflammatory pill into his mouth. He then went out and said to the three people guarding the door, "The wound of the injured has been treated. Please pay attention to him and see if he has a fever tonight."

"Is this all right? Zhou Long won't die?" the three asked in disbelief.

“You won’t die!” Li Shichu rolled her eyes. If this kind of surgery could lead to death, then wouldn’t her decades of experience as a famous doctor in her previous life have been in vain?

"Just leave one of you to take care of him, the others can leave." Li Shichu reminded again.

The three of them looked at each other, and finally one clever companion stayed, while the other two left obediently.

After Li Shichu went out, it was time to remove the needles from the patient who suffered from frequent headaches.

The patient was indeed very curious. He witnessed the wounded man with a hole in his stomach being carried in. When he saw Li Shichu, he asked her with shining eyes, "Did you really save the man with a hole in his stomach just now?"

Li Shichu nodded and quickly removed the needle from his head.

"How did you save him? Is he really not going to die? When I was a child, I saw a man whose stomach was pierced by a cow's horn. That man could not be cured and died in pain. There was still a big hole in his stomach when he died. Alas, how pitiful..." The gossipy headache patient babble.

Li Shichu said: "If only the belly is pierced, it is easier to treat, but if the intestines, kidneys, liver and other internal organs in the stomach are pierced, it is more difficult to treat and will be more troublesome."

"Can a perforated intestine be saved? I don't believe it." The patient with headache clearly didn't believe what Li Shichu said, "If you can really save me, then you are a miracle doctor. Although your medical skills are really good and my headaches are gone, you can't brag."

Li Shichu curled his lips: "Believe it or not."

In fact, many people don’t really believe that Li Shichu can save the injured person. They sent the person here just to give it a try. How could a miracle happen?

Unexpectedly, a miracle really happened. The person who had been given up by their military doctors was carried to this small clinic and was actually saved by this young doctor.

Three days had passed, and the injured man had no fever or infection. Li Shichu changed his dressing and bandaged him again, then said to him, "You can get up and move around every day. Don't lie down all day. It's easy to get blood clots if your blood doesn't circulate."

"What? He is so badly injured, how can he get out of bed? And exercise? What if his stomach ruptures again?" The injured man's companions immediately objected.

"As long as the movement is not too small and you get up and move around slowly, it won't tear at all. I have confidence in my medical skills." Li Shichu explained patiently that the injured person only had a broken belly and no internal injuries, so there was no need to worry at all.

In later generations, many women had caesarean sections, and even the uterus was cut open to take out a baby. But doctors still let people walk around a few days after the wound was sutured? Could it be that this big man with a broken belly was worse than the woman who had just given birth by caesarean section?

On the contrary, some mothers listened to the advice of the elderly and did not move around for the entire month of confinement. However, after moving around a few times after the confinement, they got blood clots and died.

Li Shichu allowed him to get out of bed and move around out of consideration for the patient, not because he was a pervert and wanted to torture him.

"Brother, I feel much better. Although the wound still hurts, I can bear it. Let's just listen to the doctor." Zhou Hu's face was pale, but he still smiled and said to his companion who was taking care of him.

Then he said to Li Shichu with an apologetic look on his face: "Doctor, I'm sorry, my elder brother said this because he was worried about me. I hope you don't blame him."

Li Shichu shook his head: "No, just focus on recovering from your injuries. If there is anything, just let him call me."

Ten days later, Zhou Hu was able to walk slowly on his own without anyone's help. His companions were shocked and began to look at Li Shichu with new eyes. Some of them were so honest that they came to apologize to Li Shichu, saying that they should not have doubted her medical skills.

Perhaps because Zhou Hu's injury healed so unexpectedly, his companions came to the clinic to see him one after another, as if they were watching a foreign spectacle. Li Shichu alone knew that the number of people who came to see Zhou Hu had reached more than thirty.

"Are you the Wei family army?" Li Shichu asked this out of the blue, which stunned Zhou Hu for a moment.

"Why, you can't tell?" Li Shichu asked. Zhou Hu and his companions' mental outlook was completely different from the locals and refugees, and they also had traces of military service on them, making it easy for people to tell their identities.

"It's not that we can't tell you, but our general told us to keep a low profile." Zhou Hu replied. He glanced at Li Shichu cautiously, "Because we are the ones who occupied Funing City after all, and we can't let the people be hostile and reject us."

Li Shichu nodded. The Wei family army was the rebel army of Wei Qiaoyuan, the protagonist of this world. Unexpectedly, he had reached Funing City.

Since he is the male protagonist, he will of course be the one who conquers the world in the end. His team certainly cannot be like other rebel forces that do all kinds of evil and do not treat the people as human beings. After all, he is ambitious and wants to win the hearts of the people. Doesn't he have to start by winning over the people in the territory he occupies?
