Because stopping the bleeding would be necessary once the arrow was pulled out, Ning Huan specifically instructed Si Yan beforehand: "I'll count to three, and you pull out the arrow after I count to three."
Then she handed the hemostatic powder to Si Yan: "After he pulls out the arrow, just sprinkle hemostatic powder around the wound. Don't worry about how much blood comes out, just keep sprinkling the powder."
Si Yan swallowed hard. Seeing that Ning Huan remained calm and composed, he couldn't help but sigh: Ning Huan's medical skills are amazing, and she is amazing too. She didn't even flinch during such a tense surgery.
As Ning Huan counted to three, Xiao Wu pulled out the broken arrow without hesitation, and blood immediately flowed out of the wound once again.
Si Yan then sprinkled the hemostatic powder around the wound.
Ning Huan cleaned up the blood and began to stitch up the wound, but because the hemostatic powder was no match for the hemostatic equipment in the modern world, the wound started bleeding again very quickly after it was treated.
Ning Huan could only take out silver needles and use acupuncture to stop the bleeding. Fortunately, it worked well. Not long after the needles were inserted, the bleeding from the man's wound slowed down considerably.
Ning Huan quickly treated the man's wound. She had already examined him before removing the arrow and realized that he was incredibly lucky; although the arrow had pierced his body, it had avoided his internal organs.
So Ning Huan only needed to pull out the arrow and then detoxify. She fed the man the antidote pill she had taken from her consciousness space, and that was the end of it.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and instructed Si Yan, "After the surgery, he will be asleep for the time being because of the anesthetic in his body. He should wake up tomorrow morning. During this period, you should pay attention to his diet. Manager Si should know this, so I won't say any more."
After giving these instructions, Ning Huan should have left, but unexpectedly, the guard named Xiao Wu stopped her: "You can't leave."
Ning Huan paused for a moment, then asked coldly, "Why?"
Xiao Wu said coldly, "Young Master hasn't woken up yet. Who knows if you've cured him? So you can't leave for now. You have to wait until our young master is completely alright before you can leave."
Ning Huan was furious when she heard this. She shouldn't have agreed to treat the man on the bed in the first place.
When Si Yan saw Ning Huan's cold face, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Madam Ning Huan, don't listen to him. He's just too concerned about his young master. Once you're ready, just take the carriage I've arranged for you back home. Also, take the one thousand taels of silver I just told you about as the consultation fee."
Upon hearing this, Ning Huan immediately beamed with joy. A thousand taels of silver—she wasn't going to get angry with a stubborn man.
However, a thousand taels of silver was simply too much. Although she could put it in her consciousness space, it was still inconvenient: "Manager Si, please exchange it for silver notes. It's really inconvenient for me to carry a thousand taels of silver."
Si Yan nodded repeatedly in agreement. In fact, he was also reluctant to part with his thousand taels, but who could blame him when Madam Ning got angry? If it weren't for Xiao Wu's stubbornness and the fact that he offended someone, Ning Huan would never have asked for such an expensive consultation fee.
But considering that Ning Huan would still be cooperating with him in the future, it was worth it to pay her a thousand taels of silver to make her happy.
Thinking about how Ning Huan was able to calmly wipe away the blood and stitch up the wound while pulling out the arrow, he was amazed that he could learn even a tiny bit of her medical skills and abilities.
After Ning Huan went out, Tao Fuyuan was already waiting for her in the carriage. The two of them went back like this, and by the time they arrived at the village, it was already dawn.
The four little ones refused to sleep because they were worried about Ning Huan. In the end, Zhou Jing'an asked them to sleep with him and coaxed them to rest. He, however, didn't sleep well all night. Since he didn't know when Ning Huan would return, he simply sat and read a book while waiting for her.
Zhou Jing'an only felt relieved after hearing the sound of the carriage. The four little ones weren't sleeping very soundly either; they quickly got up at the sound and asked, "Daddy, is Mommy back?"
"I think I heard a sound in the yard. Is Mother back?"
When they saw Ning Huan walk in, they quickly got off the bed and rushed towards her, exclaiming, "Mother, you're back!"
"Mother, why have you been gone for so long!"
Ning Huan was surprised that the four little ones were still awake. She stroked their little heads and asked, "Why are you still awake? Are you sleepy?"
The little ones rubbed their eyes and said in their babyish voices, "We're not sleepy, we're just worried that Mommy won't come back yet."
“Mother, we were waiting for you with Father, but Father told us to rest first, saying that you would come back when you woke up.”
"I haven't been able to sleep, Mother, I'll tell you a secret..."
Little Sanbao whispered in Ning Huan's ear, "Mommy, Daddy didn't sleep all night. He's been waiting for you."
Hearing this, Ning Huan raised an eyebrow in surprise. Zhou Jing'an would actually wait for her?
Before she could ask anything, the four little ones said they weren't sleepy or tired, but their bodies betrayed them by yawning.
Ning Huan told them to hurry back to their rooms and get a good night's sleep. Then she took Tao Fuyuan to the house in the backyard, set up his bed, and let him rest.
Zhou Jing'an looked at Ning Huan and asked, "Are you sleepy? Why don't you go and take a nap?"
Ning Huan shook her head: "I feel okay now. I'll make breakfast in a bit, put it in the pot to heat up, and then go to sleep. When the four little ones wake up, you can just have them eat."
She's a night owl in the modern world, so staying up all night isn't a big deal. It's just that the surgery took a lot of energy and effort, so she needs to rest.
However, once she's in her consciousness space, a soak in the spiritual spring water and a bowl of spiritual tree sap will surely help her recover.
Zhou Jing'an nodded. Ning Huan had already made all the arrangements, so he didn't say anything more.
Instead, they asked about the patient who had caused Ning Huan so much trouble: "What happened tonight? After you went to Renjitang, did you treat the patient?"
Ning Huan nodded: "I went. The patient's condition is a bit critical. After being hit by a poisoned arrow, Doctor Si dared not remove the arrow, and did not know what kind of poison it was, so he specifically asked me to go over and see what to do."
Because she hadn't rested and the surgery and the bumpy ride in the carriage had left Ning Huan feeling quite tired, she didn't immediately realize that her words were starting to arouse Zhou Jing'an's suspicion.
Just how skilled is this woman in medicine? Even a doctor like Si Yan wouldn't dare to pull out an arrow, yet she did.
