Chapter 648: A Half-baked Doctor (15)

When Wei Qiaoyuan entered Li Shichu's clinic, his first impression was that it was too crowded. There were too many people. Several doctors sitting in the clinic were seriously asking the patients in front of them about their conditions; the apprentices and waiters were even busier, packing medicine, collecting money... so busy that they had no time to rest.

"My lord, the youngest and most handsome one on the right is Doctor Li." General Chen quietly pointed to Li Shichu to Wei Qiaoyuan.

Wei Qiaoyuan was very surprised when he saw Li Shichu's appearance: "Doctor Li is so young but his medical skills are so advanced. He is really a young talent. It is true that heroes emerge from youth."

He immediately began to respect Li Shichu more.

However, seeing that Li Shichu was busy, he did not go forward to disturb her, but watched her from the side for a long time. Seeing that she was serious and confident in treating every patient, he was impressed again.

Although Li Shichu was treating the patient seriously, she soon noticed that someone was staring at her so intently. She quickly glanced around and saw that it was a man brought by General Chen, who obviously had an extraordinary aura, and she understood something.

But even though she knew it, she was not the kind of person who needed to curry favor with others, so even when General Chen and his lord came, Li Shichu did not abandon her patient to go and receive them.

Wei Qiaoyuan was surprisingly very patient. He waited until most of the patients in the clinic had left and Li Shichu had some free time before he approached him.

"Doctor Li, this is my lord." General Chen introduced the identities of the two men respectively.

Wei Qiaoyuan was a person who was very good at building relationships with others. As long as he wanted to, he could get along with anyone. So even Li Shichu felt like he was in spring breeze when talking to him, and his impression of him improved.

As gentle as a spring breeze, Wei Qiaoyuan's ultimate goal always had to be made known, so Li Shichu was not surprised when he heard that he invited himself to be his exclusive doctor.

But she still refused. Wei Qiaoyuan felt very sorry for her and used his eloquence to persuade her again and again. However, Li Shichu was determined and knew clearly what she wanted and didn't want, so Wei Qiaoyuan could only return disappointed.

He was not a narrow-minded person, so even though Li Shichu rejected his repeated attempts to win her over, he did not vent his anger on her. He continued to maintain the good relationship between the Wei family army and her, and even gave her some gold, silver and jewelry, saying that it was a reward for her rescuing many seriously injured soldiers. Li Shichu accepted it without hesitation.

Wei Qiaoyuan did not stay in Funing City for long. After all, he had ambitions to conquer the whole world, and Funing City was just one of the cities he conquered.

After he left, Li Shichu continued to lead a peaceful life. Because she had treated many seriously injured and dying soldiers of the Wei family army, her clinic was doing very smoothly. She was never short of any precious medicinal materials. Apart from treating patients and saving lives, she did not need to worry about anything else.

Because she settled in Funing City, even though the world was becoming more and more chaotic, it did not affect her. After all, Funing City was a territory under the jurisdiction of Wei Qiaoyuan, the Son of Destiny.

In the following years, Li Shichu even treated Wei Qiaoyuan himself, but he was assassinated again - as the male protagonist with increasingly larger occupied territories, he was too popular, and other rebel forces regarded him as a target, and sent people to assassinate him from time to time. If they succeeded, it would be the best, but if they failed, they could at least hurt him and annoy him.

In other words, he was the son of destiny. Otherwise, after so many assassinations, he would have died long ago. How could he only be injured? Because his injuries were quite serious, the military doctor did not dare to operate on him. Even if he did, the possibility of leaving his body intact was very low. Therefore, the military doctor suggested that Wei Qiaoyuan ask Li Shichu for help.

Wei Qiaoyuan's injury this time was on the shoulder bone of his right hand, which happened to be the joint where the right upper arm connected to the shoulder. Because he was shot by an arrow, if he was not careful when pulling out the arrow, the function of Wei Qiaoyuan's right hand would definitely be affected. He might not be able to exert force, move around easily, or even write freely.

But Wei Qiaoyuan was a man who aspired to be the founding emperor of the country. If his right hand could not write, how could he review memorials? Therefore, it was extremely important to cure his injury this time.

The military doctor himself could not bear such a big risk, so he pulled Li Shichu out in an unrighteous manner.

When Wei Qiaoyuan was sent to Li Shichu's clinic, the arrow in his shoulder had not been removed yet. He was pale and very weak due to the severe pain and excessive bleeding. But when he saw Li Shichu, he could still force a smile at her and asked her for help, saying that he would give his right hand to her.

Although Li Shichu was a little surprised that he would be injured, he saw that his condition was urgent and the injury had delayed his recovery for who knows how long, so he stopped talking and without saying a word, he gave him a bowl of Ma Fei San and knocked him out.

The next step was to make an incision in his shoulder bone and perform surgery to remove the arrowhead.

The arrow that hit Wei Qiaoyuan was not poisonous, so it was a very small operation. However, he had to be more careful and stable during the operation because he had to be careful not to affect the function of his hand. For Li Shichu, this was not difficult at all, so it only took three quarters of an hour to successfully remove the arrowhead from Wei Qiaoyuan's shoulder.

Doctor Wen, as Wei Qiaoyuan's personal physician, watched Li Shichu perform the operation with his own eyes. It was the first time he saw this kind of operation and he was shocked and in awe. He himself could not remove the arrowhead as quickly, fiercely and accurately as Li Shichu did, so he admired Li Shichu very much. He asked her many questions about what he did not understand and curiously asked about those strange medical instruments.

Li Shichu had no intention of keeping something to herself. Besides, the medical equipment was not invented by her. She just modified the invention of later generations and used it in ancient times. So when Doctor Wen asked, she told him everything without reservation and agreed to give him a set. Doctor Wen was so moved that he almost cried. He felt that Li Shichu was so generous and he could not be rude, so he took out all the medical books passed down from his ancestors and gave them to Li Shichu.

Li Shichu accepted it happily. Being a doctor requires learning from many experts and keeping on learning. So even though her medical skills are unmatched now, she would not despise Doctor Wen's ancestral medical books.

When Wei Qiaoyuan woke up from his coma, he found that his right arm was numb, but there was no severe pain before he fell into the coma. He was shocked and took a quick look. Only then did he realize that his hand was not lost, but had been treated. The wound had been bandaged, clean, and had a strange but not unpleasant smell of medicine.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was mentally prepared to give up his right hand and wanted to train his left hand to write, but he didn't expect Li Shichu to really give him a surprise.

Yes, he met Li Shichu before he fell into a coma. Somehow, he felt at ease and all his worries suddenly disappeared, as if as long as Li Shichu came, his right hand would be saved.

Sure enough, his right hand was actually saved.
