Chapter 63 This way you don’t need to feel inferior
"Prepare strong liquor, hot water, a clean towel..."
The doctor listed the items needed for the operation one by one, and He Hua took Shang Xi and quickly prepared them.
When everything was ready, the doctor cut off the clothes on Xiao Ning's injured part and prepared to cut out the dead flesh with a knife.
"etc……"
Xiao Ning called a halt.
"Wine...and the knife needs to be sterilized."
When Shang Xi heard Xiao Ning wanted wine, he went outside and brought in the jar of wine that had been prepared long ago and placed it on the table.
She had asked him to find some strong liquor yesterday.
Said it needs to be disinfected.
Although Shang Xi did not understand the meaning of "disinfection", the imperial physician would use fire to roast the silver needles when giving acupuncture, and the two probably have the same effect.
From this perspective, this folk doctor is indeed a bit unrefined.
Xiao Ning signaled the doctor to clean the knife with wine.
The doctor was a little unhappy. Who was the doctor between the two of them?
He has been practicing medicine for so many years, does he need her to teach him how to do it?
But he had previously agreed to do as the young man wanted.
The doctor swallowed his anger.
He cleaned the knife with liquor, and then, following Xiao Ning's instructions, wiped the edge of the wound with a handkerchief soaked in liquor.
After the disinfection was completed, the doctor took the knife and cut off the rotten flesh on Xiao Ning's body piece by piece.
The whole process was extremely bloody.
Therefore, before operating on the knife, Xiao Ning kindly asked Shang Xi to leave so as not to scare him.
But Shang Xi didn't want to.
He stubbornly stayed inside.
"I'd better stay. If the doctor needs anything, I can help."
Xiao Ning: "...The scene might be a little bloody later, I'm afraid it might scare you."
"It's okay, I'm not afraid."
Xiao Ning: “…”
Thinking about the princess's behavior on the day of the assassination, she certainly didn't seem like a coward.
Xiao Ning just let him do what he wanted, since there was no way to persuade him anyway.
The process of removing the flesh and blood was extremely painful, and beads of sweat oozed from Xiao Ning's forehead.
Shang Xi stood by and wiped it gently with a handkerchief.
Seeing Xiao Ning gritting her teeth to endure the pain, he found a clean handkerchief, folded it and handed it to her, motioning her to bite it in her mouth.
Xiao Ning: “…”
Xiao Ning bit the handkerchief silently.
It took the doctor more than an hour to remove the rotten flesh from Xiao Ning's arm.
Reapplied medicine and bandaged it.
"Are there any injuries on your body?"
The doctor asked while washing his hands.
"there is none left."
In fact, Xiao Ning also had knife wounds on her back, waist and thighs, but they were not very serious. Moreover, because of her special identity, such wounds could not be exposed.
She can just deal with it herself later.
She was often injured in her previous life, and she handled it by herself many times, so she was very good at it.
If her left hand hadn't been injured, she would have been able to dig out the rotten flesh herself. Why would she have waited so long and waited for others to treat it?
Xiao Ning thought about it and looked at his left hand.
The palm of his hand was torn and the flesh was exposed, with a straight knife wound.
There was a lot of friction when he was trying to save himself on the cliff, and part of the wound on the palm of his hand became ulcerated.
The doctor saw it too.
"Are you not going to deal with this hand?"
Xiao Ning: “…”
Xiao Ning silently raised his hand to the doctor and said, "It still needs to be treated."
doctor:"……"
What did you just say about not being hurt?
The injury on his palm was not serious, so Xiao Ning forgot about it.
The doctor cleaned and disinfected the knife again and picked out the rotten flesh from Xiao Ning's left hand.
Sprinkle with powder.
The wound is then wrapped with specially treated cloth.
Xiao Ning was injured and had a fever, so Shang Xi sent the doctor out.
The doctor handed him two packets of medicine and said, "These two medicines can reduce fever, replenish blood, detoxify and reduce swelling. I will come back to check in two days."
"Thank you, doctor. Here is the consultation fee."
Shang Xi thanked him and gave him another golden bead.
After the doctor took a closer look at what was in his hand, he said awkwardly, "...I can't find this."
An ordinary medical consultation only costs a few cents, and these two prescriptions are worth at most a few dozen cents.
How much money would he have to pay for such a gold bead?
"No need to look for it. You saved my husband's life. If I weren't in trouble now and only had this, I would definitely reward you handsomely."
doctor:"……"
What life are you saving?
Whether or not one can survive such an injury is another matter.
Seeing how patient that boy is, if his arm is chopped off, he still has a good chance of survival. He insists on doing what she says...
The doctor felt ashamed and looked at Shang Xi anxiously, "Your husband has told you..."
Shang Xi: "What?"
"Regarding the treatment...I followed your husband's instructions. If anything goes wrong later, don't blame me."
Shang Xi: “…”
This treatment method was indeed proposed by Xiao Ning, but this doctor's words were too... irresponsible.
After sending the doctor away, Shang Xi returned to the hut and saw Xiao Ning sighing as he looked at his hands wrapped like dumplings.
"What's wrong? Does the wound hurt?"
Shang Xi asked nervously.
Xiao Ning: "...No."
Shang Xi frowned: "Then why are you sighing?"
"I sighed because... ahem, nothing."
She sighed, of course, because both of her hands were useless and she couldn't go to the toilet!
It was difficult for her to tell this to the princess...
Shang Xi sat down beside the bed, looking Xiao Ning in the eye. "What happened? Let's face it together."
Xiao Ning: "..."
Xiao Ning hesitated to speak.
Shang Xi: "Go ahead."
You asked me to say it.
Xiao Ning: "...Ahem, I was just wondering how I'm going to go to the bathroom with my hands wrapped like this."
Shang Xi: “…”
This is indeed a problem...
Shang Xi fell into deep thought.
When he looked up, he happened to meet Xiao Ning's gaze. The corner of his mouth twitched: "Why are you looking at me like that? You don't want me to help you, do you?"
Xiao Ning: "...Of course not."
I thought the princess would call her a scoundrel.
I didn't expect the princess to actually think about this issue seriously.
It seems that after sharing hardships, the princess's revolutionary friendship with her has skyrocketed.
Shang Xi thought for a moment, coughed softly, and said awkwardly: "Well...it's not impossible. After all, you are injured now."
Xiao Ning: “…”
Xiao Ning's pupils trembled and he looked at Shang Xi in shock.
What did he he he he say? Help her!
Is this still the Princess Duanhui she knows?
Are you willing to help with this kind of thing?
"Are you going now?"
Shang Xi asked.
"No……"
Xiao Ning subconsciously wanted to refuse, after all, her gender was not right.
But when he saw the princess's red ears, he couldn't help but say, "Princess, are you trying to see how big I am?"
Shang Xi: “…”
Now not only the tips of her ears, but even her cheeks were stained with a light powder.
The look he gave Xiao Ning was indescribable.
Who likes to look at her...
What does big or small have to do with him?
So disgusting.
He is the prince of a marquisate after all, why is his wording always so impolite!
If it weren't for the fact that she saved his life and was injured, he really wanted to have her dragged out and beaten up.
Shang Xi felt embarrassed, annoyed and disgusted, and finally couldn't resist the waves of chills that spread throughout his body. He stood up and prepared to leave the room.
"I'll go out and find someone to help you."
"...No, come back!" Xiao Ning shouted.
When Shang Xi turned around, she smiled again and said, "I was just joking. I can do it myself!"
Shang Xi looked at her hands and arms that were wrapped like dumplings, and said to her what Xiao Ning had said to him before: "If you don't do it, you won't die."
"Before, there was no other way, which caused the wound to keep bursting, festering and oozing pus. It almost... Now it's fine, do you still want to repeat the same mistake?"
"Wait, I'll let the boy next door come and help you, so you don't have to feel inferior."
?
Who has low self-esteem?
"Hey, come back here and explain yourself clearly! Who is the one who has low self-esteem?"
Xiao Ning roared.
He actually questioned her dignity as a "man"!
This is unbearable!
