Xiao Ning stared at the man's terrifying face, and an indescribable fear surged in his heart. He widened his eyes, as if he wanted to deeply imprint the scene in front of him in his mind.
The man's mouth was stitched shut with dense black thread, as if cursed by a demon, which was very creepy. And his eyes were even more unbearable to look at, with bulging eyeballs and bloodshot eyes, as if he had experienced endless pain.
Xiao Ning took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He slowly walked up to the man and said softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you looked like this. I'm a doctor, I think I can help you remove the stitches on your mouth, and I can also take a look at your eyes."
The man seemed to understand what Xiao Ning said, he nodded hurriedly, raised his hands and held Xiao Ning tightly. Xiao Ning noticed that the man's fingernails had become crooked and even a little sharp because they had not been trimmed for a long time.
Xiao Ning looked at the miserable person in front of him, and felt more and more melancholy. He carefully took the person aside, took out a barber knife and nail scissors, and began to trim her hair. The person sat obediently aside, motionless, allowing Xiao Ning to fiddle with her hair.
As the barber knife was swung, piles of messy long hair fell down one after another, and finally, a woman's face was revealed. It was a slightly old face, and the traces of time were clearly visible.
Xiao Ning became more and more excited when he saw that it was a woman. He couldn't help but wonder, who would treat a woman so cruelly? He didn't bother to think too much and quickly trimmed her nails. Finally, the woman's fingernails and toenails were neatly trimmed.
Then, Xiao Ning's eyes fell on the woman's body. Her body was wrapped in a worn-out sack, which could not be called clothes at all. Xiao Ning quickly took out a white dress and handed it to the woman.
The woman fumbled with her clothes, and two lines of turbid tears slid down her cheeks. She kowtowed to thank Xiao Ning, then picked up the clothes and tried to find the collar. However, because she couldn't see clearly, she couldn't put on the clothes after groping for a long time.
Xiao Ning shook his head helplessly, and turned away, not daring to look directly at the woman's body. He carefully picked up the clothes, then gently took off the sack on the woman, and then put the clothes on her very properly.
Finally, the woman changed her clothes. Xiao Ning took a deep breath and began to help the woman remove the stitches. His movements were gentle and cautious, fearing that he would cause the woman more pain. Every time he cut a thread, he could feel the woman's body trembling slightly.
As the black thread was taken out bit by bit, black blood was pulled out like ink, as if it was the embodiment of the woman's pain. Xiao Ning held the black thread tightly in his hand, and every time he pulled it, he felt the woman's pain getting worse. Time passed by, and after half an hour of long waiting, he finally pulled out the thread from the woman's mouth completely.
Xiao Ning carefully took out a bottle of golden medicine and gently applied it on the woman's mouth. Then, he carefully wrapped it with gauze, fearing to cause any discomfort to the woman.
Then, he raised his hand and stared into the woman's eyes. The woman's eyes had long been turbid, as if shrouded in mist, and the pupils could not be seen. Xiao Ning knew very little about eye injuries, and faced with such a situation, he felt helpless.
After a long time, he remembered the medical notes Song Junwan gave him, as if he had grabbed the last straw. He searched eagerly, hoping to find relevant information. Finally, among the densely packed text, he found a similar case.
"Cloudy eyes may be caused by blockage of acupoints. You can use silver needles at the Qiuhou, Taiyang, Taichong, and Fengchi acupoints, and take a decoction of Huangzhi, Danggui, Danshen, Lycium barbarum, and Chuanxiong orally." Xiao Ning whispered the words on the notes, a glimmer of hope in his heart.
He looked at the woman, who seemed to feel his gaze, raised her hand, and tightly grasped Xiao Ning's arm. Although the hand was weak, it conveyed a sense of trust and dependence.
"Senior, I have found a way to heal your eyes. I need to use silver needles to open your acupoints. It may be a little painful, but please be patient and cooperate with me." Xiao Ning said softly, his eyes full of determination.
The woman nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. Xiao Ning saw that she had no problem, so he motioned for her to lie down. He took out the silver needle and carefully inserted it into the woman's balls, taiyang, taichong, and fengchi points. Each needle was precise and gentle, without any pain.
Then, he turned into a pottery jar, carefully found the herbs he needed, put them in the jar, and began to boil the medicine. Soon, a puff of green smoke drifted away, with a faint medicinal fragrance filling the air. Xiao Ning sat aside, fanning the pot gently with a fan, controlling the heat to ensure that the medicine was boiled just right.
An hour passed, Xiao Ning came to the woman and gently pulled out the silver needle. He carefully cleaned it and put it away. Seeing the woman lying there quietly, he gently helped her up and then carefully fed her the medicine.
Because the woman's lips were wrapped in gauze and could not come into contact with water, Xiao Ning took out a straw and let the woman inhale the medicine.
In this way, in the following days, Xiao Ning would decoct medicine for the woman on time every day and carefully observe the changes in her condition. The woman also cooperated very well and silently endured the treatment process.
Finally, on the third day, Xiao Ning, nervously, gently untied the gauze on the woman's lips. When the gauze was slowly removed, he saw that the woman's lips gradually regained their color, and the originally cracked areas began to heal.
Xiao Ning's gaze moved to the woman's eyes, and the pupils gradually emerged. Although her vision had not yet fully recovered, it had improved significantly compared to before.
