In the main house, Jian Ning finally sewed the last stitch. It had been a long time since she had strained her eyes so much. After bandaging the wound, she put Xiao Shi on an IV drip, took out a few packets of pills and handed them to Yang Jinyu, told him the dosage and instructions, and told him to open the door after the IV drip, then she fell headfirst onto the bed.
Yang Jinyu's arms were so sore that they felt like they were his own. He took a long breath, stretched his arms, and sat beside the stretcher to watch over Xiao Shi.
Today he witnessed the entire process of Jian Ning's operation from beginning to end. He was amazed. His master's suturing technique was extremely proficient. He looked calm and composed. He must have sutured thousands of such operations before, otherwise he would never be able to do it like this.
He was blessed with the merits accumulated over several lifetimes to be able to have such a capable person as his teacher. He also had even greater admiration for his master, the reclusive master.
It seems that he still has to work hard. It is unknown how many years it will take for him to reach his master's current level. However, he thinks it will not take more than ten or eight years. His master looks so young. As long as he studies hard and practices diligently, he believes that in four or five years he should be able to complete the suture operation alone, right?
After the drip was finished and Yang Jinyu removed the needle, he hid all the necessary tools according to Jian Ning's instructions, then opened the door and asked Huo Jincheng to ask someone to bring the stretcher out.
The village head and clan leader were all extremely curious. They had never heard that a severed hand could be reattached, so they waited here just to see it with their own eyes. After Xiao Shi was carried out, they stared at the gauze on his wrist. The hand was really reattached, but they didn't know if it could be used.
Xiao Shi hadn't woken up yet, and Jian Ning hadn't come out either. They could only ask Yang Jinyu, but Yang Jinyu's arms ached. "My master is exhausted and wants to rest for a while, and so do I."
He didn't bother to be polite with Ding Youtian and asked him to arrange a room for him to lie down and rest for a while.
Ding Youtian asked Dabao to take him to the east room, and he went into the main room to see Jian Ning. He saw her lying there with her eyes closed, her face pale, and she was obviously exhausted. He felt very distressed when he saw her.
Ever since Jian Ning came here, Ding Youtian had occasionally had doubts, but he never wanted to dwell on them. Huo Jincheng's bewildered expression as he stared at the energy-saving lamp had forced him to confront the changes in his wife, but now he didn't plan to ask anyone else.
His master, Blind Liu, once said that if you encounter something that you cannot understand, keep it in your heart first, and slowly think about it. There will always be a day when you will understand it.
At that moment, he looked at Jian Ning. The woman before him looked exactly like his wife, yet her abilities seemed beyond his wife's. His wife had been a little over seven years old when she arrived at his house. It was understandable that a seven-year-old girl could perform martial arts after regaining consciousness. It turned out his wife was naturally strong. Some medical skills, the ability to identify herbs, and the ability to remember things like increasing grain production were barely acceptable.
But stitching a broken wrist and having such a strange thing as an energy-saving lamp made him think a lot. Could it be that his wife was really possessed by a mountain spirit or a tree monster?
With the wisdom of an ancient man like Ding Youtian, he could never have imagined such a bizarre thing as time travel. All he could think of was being possessed by mountain spirits or tree monsters.
Forget it. Even if his wife is really possessed by a mountain spirit or a tree monster, she is a kind mountain spirit or a tree monster, and he accepts it.
He silently tucked the quilt in for Jane Ning, then tiptoed out of the room and closed the door.
Seeing him come out, Dabao led Da Niu and the others to greet him, "Daddy, can we go in and see Mom?"
Ding Youtian patted Dabao on the head and said, "Wait a moment. Your mother is tired. Let her have a good rest. By the way, how is your Uncle Yang?"
Dabao looked a little disappointed. They were so worried about Mom and wanted to go in and take a look. But Dad said Mom needed to rest for a while, so he decided to go in and see her later.
"Uncle Yang is not asleep. He is just lying on the bed, talking to Ah Man's father." He told his father.
"Dad, go check." Ding Youtian ran into Ah Man at the door of the east room. Ah Man was about to go to the main room to see Jian Ning. When he saw him, Ah Man called out, "Uncle, is Auntie awake? Uncle Yang said she fell asleep."
"He's not awake yet. Go play with the big girl and the others in a while." Before Ding Youtian went in, Huo Jincheng heard his voice and came out to greet him.
"Brother Ding, your wife hasn't woken up yet? How long do you think it will take?" He asked Ding Youtian. He was eager to know whether Xiao Shi's hand could still be used. He couldn't ask Yang Jinyu because Jian Ning didn't tell him and he didn't know.
Ding Youtian was quite polite to him before because Old Ding and the others left because of his visit. But now his wife was exhausted and fell on the bed. He didn't care about her health but was concerned about whether she woke up. This made him a little unhappy, and his words were not so pleasant to hear.
"My wife collapsed from exhaustion, all thanks to Brother Huo. As for when she wakes up, there's no need for me to tell you, right?"
He glanced at Huo Jincheng and walked straight into the room.
Huo Jincheng followed him. "Your wife is a skilled doctor, and I'm at my wit's end. No doctor in the county can cure this. Apart from your wife, I'm afraid no one else in the world can sew up a severed palm. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother you. I will definitely reward you handsomely. I hope Brother Ding will forgive me."
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Lao Wu started shouting in the yard. He was pretending to be having a seizure in front of Lao Dingtou. He fainted after hearing Jian Ning say that his father's feet had to be chopped off to save his life. Of course, he didn't faint because he was worried about Lao Dingtou. He was afraid that Jian Ning would also chop off his hands or feet.
He had been curled up in the dark and everyone had forgotten about him. Only when he shouted did they remember that he was still there.
Captain He and his men had looked at Xiao Shi's palm and were ready to go back to the town government office. Ma Fuquan was seeing them off when he heard Lao Wu shouting, so he asked Captain He and his men to wait.
Last time, Meng brought several sons to his house to steal wild boar meat. The fifth son was the loudest. Ma Fuquan hated him for hitting a woman, so he handed him over to Captain He and others on the charge of assaulting a police officer. Now he has been promoted to the county government, and Captain He has a close relationship with him, so there is naturally no reason for him not to help.
Moreover, according to the laws of the Dayan Kingdom, beating an official would result in imprisonment for ten days at the least and a month at the most. To make him suffer more, Captain He deliberately left his arm unattached and threatened him, "You dare to hit an officer? Your life is over. Imprisonment for ten or eight years is not a light sentence!"
The fifth brother didn't expect that he would be arrested and put in jail after he punched Ma Fuquan. He was so scared that he cried for his parents. Then he begged Ding Youtian loudly and even called his fourth brother, crying with tears and snot.
"What are you yelling about? Who is your fourth brother? If you keep yelling, I'll have my father lock you up for life! Oh, and I heard that when you get to the government office, you'll be beaten with a hundred sticks first. It's not certain whether you can survive. If you're beaten to death, you won't have to go to jail. Haha."
Ma Xiaomai laughed.
Captain He ordered the two constables who followed him to carry him away.
