Jian Ning rolled her eyes at him: "If you admit that you are Ding San Sui, I will buy it for you."
Ding Youtian leaned over to whisper in her ear: "You have no conscience. I ate all the candy figurines that my master gave me."
As he finished speaking, he was hit on the butt. It was Liu the Blind who kicked him. No wonder Xiu Gu was so strong. It turned out that Xiu Gu had eaten all those elixirs.
Ding Youtian was hit, and he didn't know who kicked him. Jian Ning didn't move, otherwise he would have to take the blame.
After a morning of shopping, the group headed home. As they neared the government office, they heard a commotion ahead and heard someone shout, "Master Qin is here! He knows where the female Bodhisattva is. Go ask him!"
Then a woman pushed through the crowd and rushed over, plopped down on her knees in front of Qin Yifan, "Master Qin, please tell me where the female Bodhisattva is yesterday? Please save me..."
Before she finished speaking, Jian Ning saw an old man supporting a man coming over from behind. "What's going on?" Jian Ning started to speak when Qin Yifan pointed at her and told the woman, "She is."
"Female Bodhisattva!" The woman rolled and crawled towards Jian Ning, tugging at her skirt and crying, "Please save my man, I beg you, I beg you!"
"Get up, Auntie. Tell me what happened to him first." Seeing the man clutching his chest, his face full of pain, as if he couldn't even stand steadily, Jian Ning hurried over a few steps and supported his other arm. "Does your chest hurt?"
She asked, pointing to where the man was covering his hands.
The man shook his head. The old man supported him with one hand and wiped his tears with the other. Before he could say anything, the woman knelt over and cried, "My husband got a fish bone stuck in his throat while eating dinner yesterday. He couldn't get it out, so he wrapped a few mouthfuls of rice and swallowed it hard..."
The woman covered her face and burst into tears.
The old man continued, "He was fine at night, and was fine when he woke up this morning. But soon after breakfast, he started feeling dizzy and wanted to vomit. The next day, he went to the toilet and came back and said he had seen blood. My daughter-in-law and I took him to a doctor, who examined him and said his intestines were punctured and he was useless..."
The woman cried even louder, and the old man also sobbed.
"Stop crying, she can be saved." Jian Ning turned to Qin Yifan and said, "Brother Qin, I'll lend you the back room for a moment."
Qin Yifan naturally didn't say anything and hurriedly asked them to take the man to the back hall of the yamen. Jian Ning only let Ding Youtian go in, and the rest of the people including Qiao Feng stayed outside.
She asked Ding Youtian to help the man lie down on the bed where Qin Yifan was resting. She turned her back to the man and pushed out an operating table from the herb room. She put on sterile clothing and gloves, and first performed a laryngoscopy on the man. After confirming that the fish card had been swallowed, she performed a painless routine gastroscopy.
Gastroscopy revealed that the fishbone had penetrated the mucosa and penetrated deep into the esophagus.
"It's too deep, even an electronic gastroscope can't take it out. He needs surgery, otherwise if the aorta is punctured, his life will be in danger. You have to help me."
Removing the fishbone meant opening the belly again. Ding Youtian had already had this experience once, and although he was reluctant to see that scene again, he nodded without hesitation.
Jian Ning first injected the man with general anesthesia, then asked Ding Youtian to help move him to the operating table. Then he opened the surgical kit, told him the names of all the tools he would need, gave him one minute to take shorthand notes, and started the operation.
Although Ding Youtian still felt uncomfortable when Jian Ning cut open his esophagus, it was generally much better than when Sanniang had a caesarean section.
After the operation, he took off his mask and shook his head, saying, "This is really not a job for humans. You have to get Qiaofeng out quickly. I won't do it again."
"Stop talking nonsense and help me put my things away."
After they finished cleaning up, the two carried the man back to Qin Yifan's bed and then went to open the door. As the door opened, the woman and the old man rushed in first. The woman looked at the man who was still asleep on the bed and asked Jian Ning nervously, "Did you take out the needle?"
Jian Ning nodded and showed her the bloody half of the fish bone that had been taken out and placed on the gauze. "Next time you eat fish and it gets stuck, if the bone is large, don't force it down. It could be life-threatening."
"Female Bodhisattva! You are truly a living Bodhisattva!" The woman fell to her knees again, tugging at the hem of her skirt as tears streamed down her face. "Thank you, Female Bodhisattva! You truly saved my whole family!"
The old man looked at his son and trembled as he rushed over to kneel before her, but she held him back and said, "Old lady, you absolutely cannot do this. I am a doctor, how can I stand by and watch someone die without helping?"
"How much silver? Female Bodhisattva, tell me the number. I have some money at home, and I will definitely pay you a lot." The old man said with tears in his eyes.
When the woman heard this, she quickly took out half a piece of silver from her bosom. They had brought the consultation fee with them when they went out to see the doctor. She held the silver and handed it to Jian Ning, "If it's not enough, I'll go home and get more."
The man who was stuck by the fish bone was a butcher. Yesterday, many people bought pork to remove the poison, and his business was unprecedentedly good. In his joy, he ate a few more pieces of fish for dinner. But who would have thought that his excessive joy would lead to tragedy, and he almost lost his life because of a small fish bone.
"These are enough." Jane Ning hadn't intended to charge them, but since their family was well-off, she accepted them with a smile. "Take these pills home and take them three times a day, morning, noon, and evening. Eat a light diet for the first two days, and avoid spicy or greasy foods."
Jian Ning asked them to go home and call for help, and then carried the butcher back on a door panel.
"Feng'er, as long as you're willing to learn, I'll teach you everything I know in the future. Today, things are urgent, and your master already has some experience, so Master didn't ask you in. Don't think too much. If you accept me as your master, I won't refuse to teach you."
After returning to the Qin Mansion, Jian Ning specifically called Qiao Feng aside and told her.
Qiao Feng said, "Master, I know. I won't think too much about it. I will definitely learn from you."
Jian Ning gathered her hair and tucked the hair around her face behind her ears. She said softly, "You are a good child. Master will teach you well. Go and take Shu'er and the others to wash their hands. We will prepare dinner later."
"Oh." Qiao Feng responded crisply and turned away.
After dinner, Ding Youtian and Qin Yifan played chess, Dabao watched on the side, Old Qin pestered Blind Liu to tell stories, Jian Ning sat by the charcoal brazier with Mei Niang and chatted, Qiaofeng and Da Niu played on the side.
Although there were no electronic products in ancient times, Jane Ning felt that such a leisurely and comfortable life was quite good. People had more face-to-face communication with each other, which was much better than spending time in front of cold electronic products.
That night, she didn't know what time Ding Youtian and Qin Yifan came back from playing chess. The men had endless things to talk about.
After getting up early and having breakfast, Qin Yifan led Jian Ning and the others to the kiln site outside the city. When they arrived, the kiln was already surrounded by many people who came to pick up leaks or watch the fun.
Because it was an official kiln, the site was guarded by city defense soldiers and officials were responsible for explaining and presiding over the auction. Some porcelain with slight flaws would be auctioned on the spot, and the highest bidder would win, so the scene was very lively. In addition to locals, there were also some merchants selling Dayue clothing.
As the gong was struck, it was time to open the kiln.
