Chapter 306 Upgrade Rewards!
As soon as Li San Niang arrived at the entrance of the clinic, she saw several men dressed in short brown clothes, who appeared to be laborers, gathered together.
When Li Sanniang stepped through the door, the young apprentice, as if he had found a savior, pointed at Li Sanniang and shouted, "Doctor Li can treat this injury!"
Then four or five pairs of eyes turned to look at Li San Niang.
"What's wrong?"
The young apprentice rushed over and hurriedly explained to Li San Niang, "Doctor Li, you've finally arrived! Thank goodness you came early."
These people were already blocking the entrance to our clinic before I even opened the door.
They're all laborers carrying goods outside the city. One of them got hit on the arm by a cargo box, getting a huge gash and bleeding profusely. You'd better take a look."
Li San Niang saw that it was a man who looked to be about thirty years old. There was a cut about half a foot long on his right upper arm, all the way to the joint, and blood was flowing out.
"Besides this arm, are there any other injuries?"
The dark-skinned man gritted his teeth and shook his head, enduring the pain.
Li San Niang quickly used acupuncture to stop the bleeding. After feeling the bones and finding them to be fine, she hurriedly said to her young apprentice, "Quickly, bring me a dose of anesthetic powder."
After cleaning and suturing, Tang Mingyue and the others arrived to take their shifts just as the stitches were being put in place.
Manager Gao and the others stood in the hall watching Li San Niang skillfully sew up the wound with her needle and thread.
"The effects of this medicine will last for about an hour, after which he will wake up on his own, and you don't need to wake him."
When the medicine wears off, he will definitely feel pain. I will prescribe a medicine. After he wakes up, you should let him eat some food first, and then give him the medicine after a quarter of an hour.
If I'm lucky, I shouldn't get a fever tonight, and I should be able to eat with chopsticks by myself in three days.
It will take at least half a month to fully recover. During this time, you must not overuse your arm. You must tell him that he will need to use this right arm for the rest of his life.
"Thank you, doctor. We understand."
Li San Niang accepted the gold needles, picked up her pen and wrote a prescription. After thinking for a moment, she didn't put down her pen and continued to ask, "Did the master give you any money?"
"Should we pay for the injuries, the subsequent medical expenses, lost wages, and nutritional supplements?"
The burly men opposite were stunned, not quite understanding what Li San Niang was saying.
It was Tang Mingyue who came over and explained that the man who had spoken earlier said, "The master gave ten taels of silver first, saying that no matter how much silver is spent, he will reimburse the pillar twice over."
Li San Niang nodded, took out another piece of paper, and wrote down the injuries of the dark-skinned man named Zhu Zi, the price of medicine needed, how many days it would take to use it, how many days it would take to fully recover, and what consequences the injuries might bring to Zhu Zi.
After finishing writing, Li San Niang signed her name, turned around, and handed it to Manager Gao with both hands.
After reading it, Manager Gao took the pen handed to him by Li San Niang and wrote his name on it.
"Alright, take this to your leader's alliance, find someone to explain the situation, and have them take you to your boss to ask for your money."
At this moment, the man who had spoken earlier seemed to have just realized something. "Oh right, before Mu Geda came, he told us that if anything happened, we should go to the alliance to find him first!"
"Oh, thank you so much, doctors. Thank you so much."
After watching the person take the medicine and leave, Li San Niang went to wash her hands and change out of her surgical gown and cap.
When they returned to the main hall, Tang Mingyue and the others did not go back to their seats, and even Steward Gao did not go back to the back room.
Li San Niang was somewhat puzzled and was about to ask when she heard Manager Gao ask her, "Doctor Li, did you just learn this acupuncture technique?"
Upon hearing this phrase, Li San Niang suddenly realized why these people hadn't gone to do what they were supposed to be doing, but instead were waiting for her here.
It's likely that only a few of Dr. Liang's earlier disciples knew about Li San Niang's apprenticeship with him after receiving his letter. Besides, Dr. Liang was, after all, the former head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, a person of considerable status. Apart from a few close relatives from prominent families, most people wouldn't know that Dr. Liang was still in Chang'an at this time.
In addition, Li San Niang had never used gold needles when she was suturing or treating patients in the clinic before. Today was the first time she used gold needles, and coincidentally, it was the sight of Manager Gao and the others.
Therefore, it is understandable that Manager Gao would ask this question.
"Sir, I recently became an apprentice, and I've only learned the basics of acupuncture. It's quite cheap for stopping bleeding, though. Please excuse my ignorance."
Manager Gao nodded in understanding, but in his heart he was thinking, "Well, he was already a doctor who knew a lot of techniques, and now he's even learned acupuncture."
Li San Niang thought that Manager Gao would ask her who her teacher was, and she was struggling with whether or not to reveal the name of Doctor Liang. However, Manager Gao only asked this one question and then went back to the back room.
Tang Mingyue and the other two didn't dwell on it and went back to their respective consultation booths.
Although Li San Niang didn't understand why they stopped asking, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, being a disciple of the former head of the Imperial Medical Bureau is quite prestigious. In addition, Li San Niang is only a beginner and has only learned the basics. She hasn't even graduated yet, so it would be embarrassing for her to mention her lineage now.
After finishing her shift and returning home today, Li San Niang first went to see Doctor Liang and explained to him that Manager Gao and the others had seen her using the golden needle technique that morning.
"Master, although Steward Gao didn't ask me about my master, it seems like he figured out something."
The old doctor stroked his beard without speaking, but the young boy from Shaoyang spoke up: "It must be that your posture when you started and stopped the needles revealed something."
Although my master wasn't the only one skilled in this acupuncture technique, besides a few people in the Imperial Medical Bureau, there were quite a few people in medical clinics throughout Chang'an who knew it.
But each school has its own methods, and those who understand can tell the difference just by looking at the way the needle is started and stopped.
Perhaps the person in charge of your clinic is just like that.
Li San Niang nodded: "Junior Brother knows more. Thank you for clearing up my doubts."
"Let's go have dinner. I bought some drinks today; you should try them. The seller said it's a family secret recipe, very good for the lungs."
After dinner, everyone chatted for a while, and Li San Niang, who was tired after a long day, took Lu Zhu'er back to her house.
After getting ready and lying down, Li San Niang was about to hug her precious baby to sleep when she heard the sound of fireworks and firecrackers. It wasn't the kind of firecrackers that just make a "thump thump thump" sound, but the sound of modern fireworks exploding.
"Congratulations, host, for saving 100 people and gaining one wish."
It's the system!
It's my own system!
Li San Niang immediately realized what was happening and quickly used her mind to enter the system. Looking at the colorful words floating in mid-air in front of her, Li San Niang was so happy that she didn't know what to do.
After such a long time, we've finally arrived at this moment. What should we wish for?
