Wei Lichu's eyes lit up slightly. He had always wanted to see Yu Jiao's caesarean section skills, but since he came to the capital, he had never had the chance. He was only lucky enough to see the female rabbit that was still alive and well after Yu Jiao had her caesarean sectioned and sutured.
"Does it need stitching?" Wei Lichu asked eagerly.
Yu Jiao was so happy to see someone treat injuries for the first time. She glanced at Wei Lichu's wound and nodded, "It needs to be sutured after cleaning." The wound on Wei Lichu's shoulder was festering, and the incision became deeper and the tension was a bit high. It was difficult to close naturally after cleaning, so it needed stitches. If it was not sutured, the wound would bleed. Bacterial infection and suppuration again would affect the healing of the wound.
Wei Lichu said excitedly, "Great! I've always heard people mention that you can sew up people's bodies, and today I can finally see it with my own eyes."
Yu Jiao glanced at him, "But you can see it with your own eyes, and you can experience it yourself." She wrote a prescription for a sheep's heart with anesthetic effect and gave it to Bai Lu, "There is no medicine in the medical box, buy a few more doses according to this prescription."
Bai Lu took the prescription, glanced at Wei Lichu, and whispered to Yu Jiao, "Shall I call Li Jing?"
Yu Jiao paused for a moment before she realized what Bai Lu was worried about. Although Wei Lichu lived in the Liu Mansion and was her cousin, he was a stranger after all. Moreover, in this era, it was common for cousins to marry each other. He had bare shoulders in Yu Jiao's room, and it was indeed a little inappropriate for the two of them to be alone together.
Yu Jiao thought for a moment and said, "Call Li Jing in to help me."
Seeing that she already understood the need to avoid suspicion, Bai Lu went to the yard with the prescription and called Li Jing into the house.
Li Jing was still wearing the iron mask that Yu Jiao had given him. As soon as he came in, he saw Yu Jiao fiddling with the "scalpel". His dark eyes flashed, and he subconsciously touched the identical dagger hidden in his chest.
"Whenever I need something, just take it from the tray and hand it to me," Yu Jiao said to him.
Li Jing nodded and glanced at the instruments on the tray.
Wei Lichu stared at Li Jing for a few seconds, "Third cousin, why do you have such a servant in your courtyard? Why haven't I seen him before?"
Because Li Jing attracts too much attention when wearing a mask, he usually stays at home and rarely goes out. He only shows up when Yu Jiao goes out and occasionally doesn't need Wei San and asks him to drive. It is normal that Wei Li has not seen Li Jing when he first came to Yingyue Pavilion in the courtyard.
Yu Jiao casually explained, "He doesn't like to show up in public."
Li Jing's eyes, which were slightly crooked due to burns under the mask, moved to Wei Lichu and saluted him, saying, "My humble servant greets you, young master."
Wei Lichu stared at him through the gap in the mask for a while and asked, "Is your face burned?"
Li Jing didn't care when someone pointed it out so bluntly. He smiled and nodded, saying, "My cousin really has a keen eye."
Wei Lichu seemed very curious and asked Li Jing, "What kind of fire could burn your face like this? Was your face like this before you met my third cousin?"
Li Jing smiled and said, "Miss San is kind-hearted. She is willing to take me in and give me a chance to live." After he finished flattering, he replied to Wei Lichu, "My father is the keeper of the Yizhuang. He is old and his eyesight is not good. He accidentally knocked over the lamp oil when he got up at night, and a fire broke out in the Yizhuang. As you know, everyone thinks that Yizhuang is unlucky. There are not many people living within a ten-mile radius. My father's old bones were burned to ashes. Although I am covered in scars, at least I am still alive."
He replied in great detail, as if he knew that if he only gave a rough idea, Wei Lichu would continue to ask further questions.
"So you're just a guard of the Yizhuang?" Wei Lichu's words sounded like exclamation, but also seemed to hide some deep meaning.
