Chapter 349 The stitching is too ugly
In the middle of the night, Lu Qingqing developed a high fever.
She felt as if she had been thrown into a fire and roasted.
Then it felt like spring water was falling on me, bringing a refreshing coolness.
Don't let it land in one spot, she's so hot, she's practically boiling over!
The gurgling spring water always swirled around her face, reaching at most her neck. She wanted to climb up and let the spring water fall onto her chest.
But I couldn't move my whole body or open my eyes.
Later, my whole body finally felt cool.
She heard a woman mutter:
"Young master is a well-mannered young master, but you can't get rid of the fire even after rubbing it all night!"
You've practically rubbed my master's face raw!
In the middle of the night, Lu Qingqing finally fell asleep.
She had a dream.
I dreamt of a beautiful woman and her daughter.
The woman held her daughter's hand and walked home with a bunch of food she had bought.
He was also checking her homework.
The little girl recited the "Compendium of Materia Medica" fluently.
"White quartz, sweet in taste, slightly warm in nature, is mainly used to treat thirst, cough, and invigorate qi..."
"Licorice root, sweet and neutral in nature, primarily treats the five internal organs and six bowels, dispels cold and heat pathogens, strengthens tendons and bones, and promotes muscle growth..."
The woman praised happily, "Not bad, not bad. At least one of you took after me, unlike your two brothers, one is dull and the other is frivolous. Neither of them are cut out for medicine."
The little girl took the opportunity to ask for another string of candied hawthorns.
The mother and daughter turned the corner happily, only to be stopped by someone.
An incredibly handsome young man.
"Sizzle..." The little girl's half-eaten candied hawthorn fell to the ground, accompanied by a string of drool.
"Aunt Shui," the young man greeted politely.
"I dare not, I do not know your esteemed status."
“Aunt Shui, I know it’s you. Were you wronged back in the palace? If so, I can…”
"No, it's because my skills are inferior."
The young man was about to say something more when he was startled by the hand on his waist and quickly stepped back.
The woman slapped the young girl's hand that was groping her waist.
"You are a person of high status, please go back quickly, it is dangerous outside."
The woman pulled her reluctant daughter and hurriedly left.
Once home, the woman hurried inside.
"Little carpenter, shall we leave the capital?"
"What's wrong?"
"The young prince was reminded of me by someone. Although I am friends with his mother, my enemy is now favored by the Emperor and Empress. If they target me again, it may implicate our whole family."
"Hmm... okay."
The man hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
"Then after I finish learning carving for another half month and have already paid the tuition, you don't need to go out during this time. We'll leave after I finish the course."
The woman said guiltily, "I'm sorry, you finally found a mentor willing to teach you..."
"Why bring this up? Actually, I've wanted to leave here for a long time. In this capital city full of nobles, we commoners are just slaves crawling on the ground. My back is practically bent over from all this."
The little girl eavesdropped on the conversation inside and sighed.
What a pity, that young man turned out to be a prince.
The Crown Prince knows.
Like the emperor, they were trapped in the high city tower every day.
Even if she liked it, she wouldn't go in with him to feed him!
I should choose someone else to be my husband!
Later, I dreamed about many things that happened afterward.
For example, after a man learns a skill, he takes on a big job. If he finishes it, he can provide his whole family with good food for several months.
For the next two weeks, no one sought out the woman, so she calmed down and told the man to focus on his work. Making a living in the capital wasn't easy, and it would be foolish not to seize the opportunity.
Earn more money, and you can make a better living back in your hometown.
So they stayed.
This stay lasted for another two years.
Ultimately, the family left Beijing because the woman couldn't help but intervene to save the man and was falsely accused.
When Lu Qingqing woke up, her face was covered in tears.
Beside the bed, stood a man whose face was haggard but whose charm was still undeniable.
This face gradually overlapped with the handsome young man in my dream.
In her dream, she saw memories from before she was eight years old.
Because of a fall into the water, a heatwave, a time travel, and lost memories, all of them were recalled due to a high fever.
Lu Qingqing is now truly the complete Lu Qingqing!
"Qingqing, you've been unconscious for three days!" The man's eyes suddenly reddened.
The handkerchief he was using to wipe her tears slipped from his hand.
"Thank you, thank you for waking up... Qingqing... I was so scared."
He cupped her hands in his, buried his face in hers, and his shoulders trembled slightly.
"Your hand... was bitten by a dog?" Lu Qingqing asked.
His voice was hoarse, as if it contained grit, unpleasant and dry.
Ji Ruyan quickly got up and brought over some warm water.
"Don't talk about yourself like that."
He forced a smile.
Carefully scoop water with a spoon and bring it to her lips.
Ji Ruyan had a dark purple wound around her tiger's mouth, a deep bite that was frighteningly exposed with torn flesh.
Did she bite him?
Those are really dog teeth, incredibly sharp.
No wonder the stick didn't feel hard back then.
Is this fate?
After much deliberation, they still chose this crown prince.
After drinking some water, Lu Qingqing felt much better.
Ji Ruyan quickly stood up, opened the door, and went out.
Then, a group of people came in.
Old Pang, Sixi, Qiaoxiu, and Hong the Midwife.
They've all come.
Their eyes were all red.
Fearing Lu Qingqing's wrath, Ji Ruyan quickly said, "I didn't inform your second brother and the others. I only said that a doctor was needed here."
"Yeah, it's nothing." Lu Qingqing grinned.
“Perfect, I am a ready-made case. You can all take a look at my injuries and gain experience.”
Sister Hong deserves the most credit this time; I never expected her to do such a great job.
Of course, Ji Ruyan also helped.
Lu Qingqing tilted her head to look at the man.
But he seemed to be losing his composure; he raised his hand to cover his eyes, then turned and left.
“What merits are there to talk about? If Master hadn’t come to save me, I wouldn’t have almost…” Midwife Hong wiped her eyes.
"Enough of that, let's check my sister's wound first."
Qiaoxiu, her eyes red, grinned and said, "My sister is someone even the King of Hell fears; he wouldn't dare take her!"
"Sis, are you in pain? Do you feel anything's wrong?"
They started discussing the surgical procedures they had learned about before, ever since they arrived here yesterday.
For example, what unexpected situations might occur, and how to disinfect to prevent infection?
Si-Xi drew up diagrams of the internal organs and then rehearsed a surgical procedure with Midwife Hong.
Aside from the urgency of the situation and the possibility that the surrounding environment was not thoroughly disinfected, they felt that the surgery would be fine.
Afterwards, they prepared anti-inflammatory and antibacterial medicine, cleaned the wound, and changed the dressings; they did everything they could.
Now we're just waiting for Lu Qingqing to wake up so I can share my personal experience and tell you what's still lacking.
"Aside from the pain, there's nothing else wrong," Lu Qingqing said with a smile.
He pointed to his abdomen as he spoke.
"Forget about the strict separation of men and women, examine all the wounds carefully, and see what's lacking and what needs to be improved."
As a result, Lao Pang, Sixi, and Qiaoxiu all showed emotion in their eyes.
Hong, the midwife, shrank back.
"Well, that young master outside has had them check everything, and they said..."
The stitching is terrible.
