Chapter 008 Let Her Live a Few Days Longer
Shen Ning brought Xiao Nanchen back home. Zhao Tong had already helped her unload the things on the table in the main hall. He went home without saying a word.
Shen Ning didn't even bother to thank him.
But she also knew Zhao Tong's character. If Lian'er hadn't asked him for help, he probably wouldn't even enter her door. After all, there are always a lot of gossips around a widow.
She fetched water in a basin and called Xiao Nanchen over to treat the wound on his forehead. After all, he would be the emperor in the future, and a scar on his forehead would make him look less majestic.
While gently wiping off the dirt around the wound with a towel, Shen Ning taught the little fool: "You are strong. If someone bullies you like you just now in the future, you can fight back. Don't be afraid."
Xiao Nanchen looked a little uneasy, his neck stiff as he let her clean the wound, not daring to move: "Don't cause trouble."
He repeated: "If you cause trouble, you'll be sent to someone else to be raised."
Shen Ning paused slightly, a little puzzled: "How can this be considered causing trouble? This is someone bullying you. Not letting yourself be bullied is the basic rule of life. Don't worry about fighting back in the future. I'm here if anything goes wrong."
Anyone who takes the initiative to bully a fool is definitely not a decent person. As for those despicable people who bully the weak, they deserve to be beaten.
Besides, this person will be the emperor in the future, so what do they have to be afraid of?
Shen Ning did not forget to take the opportunity to create her image as a good Chinese sister-in-law, and said to the little fool seriously: "Don't worry, sister-in-law will not send you to be raised by others. I will always raise you and protect you!"
The little fool Baba looked at her, his simple mind obviously moved, pursed his lips and nodded vigorously: "Yeah."
"good."
While coaxing the little fool, Shen Ning took out a piece of clean gauze from the things he had just bought, sprinkled it with the external injury powder bought from the clinic, then tiptoed closer and gently covered the wound with the gauze sprinkled with powder.
It was also at this moment that Xiao Nanchen's eyes regained clarity.
What caught his eye was a very close face. It was not the delicate skin of those rich girls in the capital, but it had very vivid facial features. Under the extremely thick and long eyelashes, the dark eyes were staring at him... forehead without blinking.
Her breath sprayed over, and Xiao Nanchen frowned suddenly.
But at this moment, he saw a large purple swelling on the back of Shen Ning's hand.
Xiao Nanchen suddenly remembered that it was this woman who blocked the stick that was hitting his head just now.
Instead of treating his own injuries, he was thinking of treating his first, and he was so close to him?
Should we say she is selfless or just lustful?
"alright."
Shen Ning took a step back and rubbed her neck, which was sore from tilting her head back for a long time. She didn't know that she was being disliked and misunderstood by her own patient again.
If she knew, she would definitely cry out for justice. After all, how could she bandage a wound if she wasn't so close to it? What's more, as a doctor, she is a professional and there is no distinction between men and women.
After treating the injury on her forehead, Shen Ning handed Xiao Nanchen a set of men's clothes she had just bought: "This set of clothes is for you, go change into it, I'll go cook."
After she finished speaking, she took the ingredients she had bought and walked towards the kitchen. She didn't notice that the person behind her who had his eyes lowered raised his head with a cold look in his eyes.
Shen Ning prepares to make wontons.
Xiao Nanchen was injured, so he needed to eat light and nutritious food. Well, mainly because she herself wanted to eat wontons.
Chopping the stuffing, kneading the dough and rolling out the dough, the whole process is a pleasure for her.
When she was lying in bed unable to move, she was full of envy when she watched people cooking in the video. Now, she can do everything she wants by herself.
Although the conditions and materials were limited, Chen Ning still did it very carefully and meticulously. The dough was rolled out thin and tough, and the meat filling was mixed with green onions and ginger. After putting it into the pot, a simple soup base was prepared with chopped green onion, sauce, vinegar and salt. When the wontons were cooked, she scooped up the boiling soup into a bowl and then scooped out the wontons.
After bringing two bowls of steaming and fragrant wontons to the table in the main hall, Shen Ning called Xiao Nanchen: "Anan, it's time to eat."
A moment later, Xiao Nanchen walked in from the yard.
He changed into the coarse cloth clothes that Shen Ning bought. They were the black and blue coarse cloth clothes commonly seen in the countryside. They were similar to those worn by other men in the village. Shen Ning's purpose was to avoid attracting attention.
The clothes were ordinary, but the face could not be hidden. Fortunately, she deliberately did not wipe his face clean, and there was still some black and gray, so it was not too eye-catching if you didn't look closely.
The brief moment of clarity allowed Xiao Nanchen to only have time to change his clothes, and he felt somewhat relieved while doing so.
Fortunately, he was able to change his clothes by himself. Otherwise, if he lost his mind again and needed her help, who knows what this woman would do.
Zhao Mu's taste is really bad. He chose such a loose and frivolous woman. During his years away from home, he must have accumulated enough cheating hats to open a shop...
This woman obviously has some shameful thoughts about his foolish uncle, so he must try to keep his distance from her.
Of course, this was Xiao Nanchen's thought when he was awake. By the time he walked into the main hall, his eyes had returned to being confused and dazed.
Seeing Shen Ning sitting at the table and waving with a smile, and then seeing the big bowl of fragrant wontons, he moved over without hesitation and sat down next to Shen Ning.
His sister-in-law will protect him, bandage him, and make delicious food for him. He wants to sit next to his sister-in-law!
After finishing the meal, Shen Ning cleared the dishes and started to pack the herbs.
There was a medicine jar at home. She put the herbal medicine for internal use into the medicine jar and boiled it, while the medicine for external use was boiled in a big pot.
While decocting the medicine, she went to the slope behind the house and dug a sieve of yellow clay. This yellow clay was a good material for making white sugar.
After grinding the clumping yellow clay into powder, adding water and stirring it into a mud soup, the medicine was ready. She washed her hands first and then looked at the medicine.
She poured out the medicine from the medicine pot and added water to continue decocting it. She went to the kitchen and started to clean up the medicine in the big pot.
The herbs in the pot were wrapped in gauze. She took out the gauze, squeezed out the medicinal juice inside, and then continued to cook over low heat.
Soon, the black soup became thicker and thicker. When only a little was left at the bottom of the pot, Chen Ning poured out the soup from the medicine pot and divided it into two after mixing it with the previous one.
Drink one bowl tonight and one bowl tomorrow morning.
By the time everything was done, it was already dark.
She walked into Xiao Nanchen's room and asked him to get ready.
The little fool fell asleep. Shen Ning placed all three oil lamps in the house next to his kang. She had silver needles bought from the clinic at hand. After disinfecting the silver needles with flames and strong liquor, she woke Xiao Nanchen up, gave him a bowl of medicine, and made him lie face down.
The little fool was puzzled, but now he listened to her and took off his shirt obediently and lay on the kang. There were obvious muscle contours on his shoulders and back.
My king has a really good figure.
Shen Ning joked in her heart, but her hands were very steady. She picked up the silver needle with her right hand, pressed on his back with her left hand to confirm the acupoint, and then inserted the needle.
Soon, Xiao Nanchen was pierced like a hedgehog. Shen Ning moved down along the acupuncture points, and the last acupuncture point was at the coccyx. She casually pulled the waistband of her pants down, but as soon as she moved, her wrist was grabbed.
Perhaps because he was lying prone, or perhaps because the silver needles were starting to take effect, the little fool's voice sounded very low and difficult, as if he was gritting his teeth: "Stop!"
Shen Ning directly slapped his hand away: "I want to put the needle in the tailbone, don't worry, I won't look at your butt."
Xiao Nanchen: ...
On one hand, he had a splitting headache, and on the other hand, he felt a chill in his lower back. He had never experienced such an embarrassing and awkward situation before. He subconsciously wanted to move, but as soon as he moved, there was a loud snap.
A slap landed on his buttocks, accompanied by a woman's scolding: "Don't move."
Shen Ning slapped him casually because she had no place to hit him on the back, but Xiao Nanchen was about to explode... At this moment, a stuffy and fishy smell suddenly surged in his throat.
Without time to prepare, he turned his head and spat a mouthful of sticky black blood directly onto the ground.
At the same time, smelly black blood flowed out of the nostrils.
Shen Ning was overjoyed when she saw this: “It’s useful.”
Although she had some idea of what was going on, she was still a little unsure about the medicinal properties of herbs in this era. Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
Xiao Nanchen was also completely stunned at this moment, and he didn't even care about the frivolous and presumptuous behavior of the woman just now.
After the injury on his leg improved slightly the day before and he no longer had a high fever, he knew that this woman had some medical skills.
But he didn't expect that her medical skills seemed to be even better than he thought.
He originally thought that his leg was definitely broken, but now, the injured leg, which had been numb for several days, suddenly felt a sharp pain.
It's a good thing to feel pain. Moreover, after spitting out the black blood just now, the stuffy chest felt a lot more relaxed.
"Anan, lie still. I'll remove the needle for you later. If you behave well, I'll give you some candy."
Xiao Nanchen: ...
Shen Ning explained while turning around to pour him some water.
A bowl of hot water was fed to Xiao Nanchen's mouth. Just as he was about to open his mouth, his nose was pinched and the water was poured into his mouth. He almost choked and swallowed the water and gasped for breath. However, the culprit had already turned and left, leaving him, the hedgehog, alone.
The acupuncture points on his back felt slightly numb and itchy, and there was also some barely perceptible tingling, but what was more obvious was the touch of the slightly cool hand kneading and pressing them.
He knew in his heart that she was treating his injuries, but that strange touch followed him like a shadow.
It was just because of this woman's frivolous nature that even when she was just treating an injury, her actions seemed so blatant...
Considering that she is still useful, let her live a few more days.
