Chapter 259 Lingling Donates Blood
"Yes, he can sew up wounds. I've heard people say that the young master of the Bai family can cut open people's intestines at a young age and then sew up the wounds like sewing clothes. But I've only heard about it and never seen it."
Hearing Ning Bao and Gu Xiang say that stitches could be done, Shen Yuzhen, who had been staying by Shen Junshan's side, looked at Liu Qingru.
"Sister-in-law, brother's wound is too big. Since someone has tried stitches before and it seems to work, why don't we give it a try?"
Although Shen Yuzhen was Shen Junshan's younger sister, she still wanted to consult Liu Qingru, his wife, about stitching up Shen Junshan's wound.
Liu Qingru thought for a moment and then nodded firmly.
"Okay, let's give it a try. I'll go get the needle and thread."
Gu Yunrou felt that it would be better to use high-quality, strong silk thread for stitching up the wound. Farmers usually used cotton thread, coarse hemp thread, or kudzu thread. She quickly looked at Granny Gu standing next to her.
"Qingru, let Granny Gu go and get it. Granny Gu has all kinds of silk threads. Let Ningbao choose which one is suitable."
Ning Bao took out a jar of fine wine from her storage talisman, then looked at Li Guizhi.
"Grandma, could you please boil some water for me?"
I remember my senior saying that boiling water and strong liquor can both... kill evil spirits... and that anything that comes into contact with the wound should be boiled in boiling water, and the wound should also be washed with liquor.”
As Ning Bao spoke, she thought to herself, and once again regretted not having followed her senior brother to properly study medicine.
After everything was prepared, Ningbao froze, holding the needle threaded with silk.
"I...I don't know how to sew."
Aunt, would you like to come?
Liu Qingru paused for a moment, looking at the needle in Ning Bao's hand.
“Ningbao, my hands are shaking, I can’t bring myself to do it. Why don’t you let your mother do it? Your mother is good at needlework.”
Shen Yuzhen looked at Shen Junshan, whose face was pale. Her hands were trembling. This was her own brother, the only person in the world besides her child who had a close blood relationship with her.
Shen Yuzhen calmed herself down, poured herself some wine, washed her hands, and then took the needle and thread from Ningbao's hand.
"Okay, I'll do it."
Shen Yuzhen took a deep breath to calm herself down and began to administer the acupuncture.
Shen Junshan was drowsy due to excessive blood loss, but he woke up immediately after Shen Yuzhen inserted an acupuncture needle.
Although he wasn't fully conscious, he had overheard the gist of Ning Bao's conversation. Enduring the pain, Shen Junshan looked at Shen Yuzhen, who had stopped.
"Yuzhen, hurry up and put in the needles, I can bear it."
"Big brother..."
Mu Chunping wiped the sweat from Shen Yuzhen's forehead.
"Wife, hurry up and sew it. The sooner it's done, the less my brother will suffer."
If all else fails, just treat your brother's wound like two pieces of pork.
Shen Junshan: "…………"
Shen Junshan, whose forehead veins were bulging from the pain, did not delay any longer and quickly inserted the needles.
This time it went much more smoothly than before. Shen Yuzhen stitched up all the wounds on Shen Junshan's abdomen into a centipede-like shape.
After finishing the needlework, Shen Yuzhen frowned at the ugly stitches.
"Sister-in-law, isn't this a bit ugly? To be honest, this is the ugliest sewing I've ever done since I started learning needlework. I must have been nervous just now. I think I'm much better at sewing now. Maybe I should take it apart and sew it again."
"No!" Shen Junshan, who was in so much pain he almost fainted, quickly waved his hand to stop his sister when she heard her want to stitch him up again.
"Yuzhen, this is fine. Anyway, I'm a grown man and I don't care if it looks good or not, as long as your sister-in-law doesn't mind."
Seeing that her husband's wound had stopped bleeding, and that the stitched-up wound did look better than the one that had just reopened, and seeing that Shen Junshan was in good spirits, Liu Qingru felt much more at ease.
She glared at Shen Junshan.
"What are you saying? The children are still here. Besides, we're an old married couple. Even if I were to complain, it would be too late."
Despite the dizziness and pain, Shen Junshan pleaded with Liu Qingru.
"Honey, do you really dislike me?"
Before Liu Qingru could speak, Shen Junshan fainted.
Upon seeing Shen Junshan faint, Liu Qingru and the others panicked.
Fortunately, Ning Bao, a half-baked doctor, was there. Shen Junshan fainted because of the pain and excessive blood loss.
Shen Junshan urgently needs to recuperate, but they don't even have a stable home and have to continue their journey with nowhere to rest.
Gu Yunrou suggested that Gu Xiang take people to send Shen Junshan and Liu Qingru to the nearest town to recuperate, and then come to pick them up after everyone has settled in.
But Liu Qingru was worried and didn't want to be separated from her child and other relatives.
She had heard countless times about the hardships and suffering her family members had endured while living away from home, and she was afraid that she would never have the chance to see them again after they separated.
Just when everyone was in a dilemma, Lingling sneakily leaned close to Ningbao's ear,
"Master, I see that your uncle's wound is healing a bit slowly. Should I let him drink some of his blood?"
