Tian Cai put the bamboo dustpan in the kitchen and washed his hands before inviting the two into the house. Mimi squatted at the door of the pharmacy. Li Sheng wanted to go over and touch her, but gave up when he saw her staring at him.
Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help but look at it twice more. This was the lynx that roared that night. He had only heard of it before, but this was the first time he knew it was so big.
As soon as he entered the room, he was hit by a strong smell of medicine, which was not too unpleasant. He looked around and saw that the furnishings in the room were very simple. There was a medicine cabinet full of drawers against the wall, and there were no labels on the densely packed drawers.
Next to the medicine cabinet on the other side is a large desk that extends all the way to the window. The table top is very clean, with only a bamboo tube and a piece of - dogtail grass?
I don't know what it's used for, but it looks quite elegant.
There were also several cabinets with closed doors above the desk, and only one without a door had a few books scattered in it. At a glance, they all had the same covers and it was impossible to tell what they were.
There were also two wooden beds and two benches in the room, neatly arranged.
Li Sheng entered the room, pulled a bench and sat down, stretching his arm in front of Tian Cai. "It's right here. It got inflamed because I didn't take good care of it."
She gently pressed the red and swollen area next to Li Sheng's wound. It was indeed a symptom of inflammation. The wound seemed to be rotten, and the place where the scab should have formed was covered with milky white.
Tian Cai gently scraped some secretions from the wound with clean tweezers and sniffed it.
Xiuzhen Yan's eyes flickered, but soon returned to normal, his gaze fixed on Tian Cai's fair and beautiful profile.
When the two of them bumped into each other that day, Zheng Zhengyan was actually just attracted by the aura emanating from the girl. Only now did he realize what kind of appearance she had. She combined the beauty and elegance of a young girl, but also had an indescribable tranquility. Just looking at her, it was easy for people to relax involuntarily, as if all the fatigue and noise had left them.
I don’t know if it’s because of the dew, but Tian Cai’s sense of smell is very sensitive. At this moment, he smelled a sweet smell in the things scraped off Li Sheng’s wound, and intuitively knew that it was not a good thing.
However, there was an unfamiliar educated youth nearby, so Tian Cai put the tweezers aside and didn't mention anything else. "Your wound is inflamed. It needs to be scraped open and disinfected. It will be painful, so bear with it."
Li Sheng's heart tightened. He didn't hide his fear of pain at all and asked worriedly, "How much does it hurt?"
Tian Cai rolled her eyes at him and slammed down a few words, "It's not as painful as giving birth anyway."
Li Sheng: “…”
Tian Cai turned around and took out a dagger from the medicine cabinet. He also took out a needle, alcohol, gauze, and hemostatic powder and placed them on the table. "I know acupuncture for pain, but it's not very effective. You should still feel pain. Are you ready?"
Li Sheng watched Tian Cai using alcohol to disinfect the instruments. The cold gleam of the dagger made his heart tremble. He was trying to move back quietly, but was blocked by Zheng Xiuyan behind him. He didn't know when this man sat down behind him.
Li Sheng had no choice but to tremble and stretch out his injured arm, "Come on."
Tian Cai couldn't help laughing when he saw his fearless look. In fact, Li Sheng looked pretty good when he was alone, and could be considered sunny and handsome. It was just that he always stayed with Yan Xudong, so it was inevitable that he was just a supporting role. Besides, this guy loved to show off, which made people feel childish.
Tian Cai thought about it while inserting the needle without hesitation. After the needle had blocked the surrounding pain nerves, he took a dagger and scraped away the ulcers near the wound bit by bit.
Li Sheng didn't feel anything when Tian Cai cut him with the first knife, but he felt a slight pain when he cut him with the second knife. He frowned. It was like the pain of being scratched by something, which was bearable. But he soon stopped thinking so, because the feeling of Tian Cai scratching the same place repeatedly made him truly experience what it was like to feel heart-wrenching pain.
"ah--"
“Oh, ho, ho—”
"Oh, be gentle—"
"ah--"
At first, Tian Cai patiently tried to comfort him, but the boy only screamed louder and louder. She couldn't help but sneer, "Do you want to experience what it felt like when Guan Yu scraped his bones to treat poison?"
Li Sheng covered his mouth mischievously, his face pale.
Xiuzhenyan clenched his fist and coughed to hide his smile.
Tian Cai quickly cleaned the wound, disinfected it with alcohol again, sprinkled hemostatic powder on it and bandaged it.
Li Sheng saw that she had finished bandaging and stood up to run, but Tian Cai held him down and said, "Wait a minute, it's not over yet. You still need to get an anti-inflammatory injection."
Tian Cai stood up and took out a syringe and penicillin from the middle cabinet. After disinfecting the needle of the syringe, he first did a skin test on Li Sheng's arm. Only after making sure there was no problem did he give him the injection.
"Go back and take care of your wound. Don't touch water for the next few days. Come here immediately if you see anything unusual. I will stay in the village for the next few days and won't go anywhere." Tian Cai said to him with a smile as usual, but his eyes were extremely serious.
Li Sheng's face flushed suspiciously, but he said nothing. He was still immersed in the shame of being given an injection in the buttocks by Tian Cai.
After examining Li Sheng's wound, Zheng Xiyan spoke, "Hello, Doctor Tian. I'm the new educated youth, Zheng Xiyan. I wonder if you still remember me."
Tian Cai nodded, muttering to himself, "Hey, it's the rural romance version of Takeshi Kaneshiro, how could I not remember it?" "Hello, Xiu Zhiqing, are you feeling unwell?"
Xiuzhenyan smiled and said gently, "I'm not feeling unwell. I just want to buy some common medicines to keep on hand for emergencies."
Tian Cai nodded. There were many families like this in the village. She listed a few of the most commonly used ones on a piece of paper. "Hemostatic, antidiarrheal, pain reliever, fever reducer, cold remedy, these are enough, right?"
"Doctor Tian is very experienced, so I'll take these."
Tian Cai listened to him talking and felt for some reason that this man was a little fake. There was no basis for the feeling, it was just an indescribable feeling. Looking at him, he didn't seem very attractive. Well, his face was wasted.
After having this idea, Tian Cai's hand that was reaching for the medicine cabinet somehow changed direction and he took out a few other bottles from the bottom layer. He poured him a few pills and wrapped them in paper and handed them to him.
She thought that once she received the money, the matter was settled.
Unexpectedly, this educated youth had no intention of leaving, but instead kept talking about those medicines.
"I wanted to ask Li Sheng to bring me some medicine, but I only know Western medicine, like penicillin. This is my first time eating Chinese medicine pills. I wonder if they taste good?"
"It shouldn't be considered bad. This is what everyone in the village eats." Tian Cai ended the topic with this sentence.
