He had never seen a needle of this shape before. But thinking about it, it was truly ingenious, able to minimize trauma and perform delicate sutures.
What’s even better is that there is a pair of tweezers next to it. After a simple try, Dr. Cheng knew how to use it.
Although using tweezers requires a lot of strength, the hands do not directly contact the skin, which also reduces the risk of infection, suppuration, and high fever.
However, Dr. Cheng had never used this kind of needle and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control the strength properly.
Ling Jiheng said, "It's okay, Doctor Cheng, just try it on me!"
I can say this because there is no major artery injured.
In their previous lives, they had been on missions under harsh conditions, and they had endured them with their bodies. Even without stitches, wounds would heal, though more slowly.
Chi Xingyue also nodded: "Doctor Cheng, please!"
Doctor Cheng hesitated for a moment, then finally decided to go ahead. He could just tear it apart and sew it back together, and that would definitely fix Ling Jiheng.
Dr. Cheng threaded the catgut and sutured the wound bit by bit under candlelight. Without anesthesia, the needle pierced the skin, and one could imagine how painful it must have been.
Chi Xingyue couldn't bear to watch and turned her head away. Ling Jiheng clenched his teeth, cold sweat dripping down his forehead, but he didn't even groan.
A moment later, Doctor Cheng finished sewing the wound. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Chi Xingyue looked at the dense "centipedes" on Ling Jiheng's arm and felt sick all over.
She was thinking, what kind of skill is this? She made her husband so ugly, how can they be intimate in the future?
Ling Jiheng misunderstood Chi Xingyue's expression, thinking that the little girl was heartbroken. He raised his hand, held her little hand and stroked it, with a smile on his pale and weak face.
Doctor Cheng removed the silver needles from Ling Jiheng's body, packed up his tools, and gave the two of them a cold look: "I'm going to treat the other people's wounds. You two can rest for a while and then go back. I don't accept outsiders in this room."
In fact, I am alone and can't stand seeing young people being so clingy. I feel jealous and envious.
Chi Xingyue looked at Doctor Cheng's fleeing back and couldn't help laughing out loud.
After the other party entered the east wing, he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from Ling Jiheng's forehead and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
Ling Jiheng didn't try to be brave, and said pitifully, "It hurts so much!"
Chi Xingyue reached out and poked his chest, a little angry: "I'll let you show off!"
In fact, they knew that they had to be aggressive. Unless they exposed their space, the Ling family would not be able to escape unscathed under the siege of the Northern Liao people.
Saying this is just to vent my resentment towards the people of Northern Liao.
How could Ling Jiheng not know this? He held her fingers with tenderness in his eyes.
If Chi Xingyue hadn't rushed out at the last moment to draw fire for them, he and Ling Ba, Ling Jiu, Ling Shi and Hong Yu might not have been able to wait for reinforcements.
Just as I was thinking this, screams like a pig being slaughtered came from the east wing.
Wan Chunqin grabbed Ling Jiren's right hand, and was almost pinched by him to break his hand bones.
But she didn't shout or scream, and even forced a smile to encourage him: "Master, hold on a little longer. When you're done sewing, I'll make you some chicken soup."
Ling Jiren couldn't hear anything, he just felt so much pain, as if he had been stabbed several times.
Ling Jiyi and Ling Jihao who were standing next to them were both frightened.
Xiaohe and Qinglu each had an arm and could hardly hold the other down.
Doctor Cheng glared at Ling Jiren. "It's just a few stitches, why are you yelling?! If you want your arm to be crippled, keep yelling!"
Ling Jiren didn't want to be a cripple, but he was in real pain. His groggy head suddenly became completely clear the moment the suture needle pierced his flesh.
Doctor Cheng opened the door and called Jin Bao and Yin Bao over to hold the patient down. He also complained in disdain, "Look at your second brother. He had so many stitches and he didn't say a word!"
Ling Jiren thought to himself, "My cousin is not a human being, otherwise I would have been suppressed by him for so many years, and I couldn't breathe. The title of eldest grandson of the Ling family has always been an empty title!"
Ling Jiyi and Ling Jihao overthought it, thinking that Doctor Cheng was angry. When it was their turn to get stitches, they tried to hold their voices in their throats and even bit their lips.
The tears flowed out like a faucet that had been opened, and half of the pillow was wet with tears.
After finally getting through, Doctor Cheng pulled out the needles and told them, "Don't move around. Stay in this room until you're healed."
Ling Jiren stared at the beams with lifeless eyes, no longer wanting to ask why his second brother could return to Qingfeng Courtyard but he couldn't.
Now I just want to have a good sleep to relieve the pain in my body.
Doctor Cheng gave Xiaohe and Qinglu some instructions and then went to the west wing to get busy.
Fu Huanping also came to the east room under the guidance of the old man.
"Second Young Master Ling, how are you?"
Ling Jiheng smiled bitterly: "Do I look like I'm fine? It's clear that I'm in trouble!"
Fu Huanping really had nothing to say about this.
He patted Ling Jiheng's shoulder sympathetically, then apologized solemnly: "I'm sorry, I've implicated you this time!"
Ling Jiheng looked confused, but Fu Huanping didn't continue.
Instead, he changed the subject: "I still have to take my brothers to the next village. Please help me take in the wounded. When I have a couple of days to spare, we can talk in detail."
Ling Jiheng nodded and pointed in the direction of the gate: "We've prepared food for you at home, have a bite before you leave!"
Fu Huanping shook his head. "This time, the Northern Liao came with great force, committing murder and arson, committing all sorts of evil. I'm worried they'll attack other places. Once the hidden dangers are eliminated, I'll come and have a drink with you."
Ling Jiheng raised his eyes to look at Fu Huanping and said seriously, "I wish you a triumphant return!"
Fu Huanping said, "Hmm," "See you later!"
He strode away without any regrets.
Outside the Ling family mansion, apart from a dozen injured soldiers, the only ones left were Ling Weicheng and Ling Weicun, who arrived late driving a ox cart.
The two men gasped as they looked at the mountain of corpses with missing limbs piled up not far from their home.
I wondered what would have happened to my family if General Fu had not come to support me. I was afraid that the entire village would have been slaughtered.
The centurion who was the least injured nodded to the two men, then threw a fire and set the bodies of the Northern Liao people on fire.
The fire lit up the entire night sky, and after a long period of silence, the people of Qingshan Village finally poked their heads out.
Seeing the army retreating, I knew the crisis was over. But what about the other families? Were there any casualties?
Logically, they should have taken stock of the losses, but Song Lizheng was unconscious and no one in the village was responsible.
Song Yuangen was quite courageous, but he was young and could not win the support of the crowd.
After settling his mother, brother and sister-in-law, nephews and nieces, he came to the vicinity of Ling's house in the dark.
Looking at the flames rising into the sky, he thought something had happened to his father and the Ling family.
He fell to the ground with a thud, crying his eyes out.
He was in a trance, but when he saw Ling San coming out to throw oil, he suddenly came to his senses, his eyes shining, and stumbled into the Ling family mansion.
When Ling San saw him, he didn't greet him. He just pointed in a direction and went on to do other things.
Ling Yi, on the other hand, happily called someone over. Someone had finally taken over the job of rubbing the snow!
