Chapter 028
"Duoduo."
"Ashi, that kid is here to play with you again."
By the well, Chane smiled as she watched a black crow land next to a hydrangea and peck at the bluestone road with its beak a few times to indicate its presence.
"It's not here to play with me." Qingxi, who was standing barefoot in the wooden basin and stepping hard on the pile of quilt covers below, curled her lips and said, the hem of her skirt was slightly lifted to her thighs and then held tightly with both hands.
When she had stepped on them enough, she would come out to turn them over and then go back in to continue stepping on them.
"It's just a little liar, coming here to beg for food and drinks." She accidentally used a little force in her step and splashed a lot of water with a "splat", which attracted the warning glare of Shinobu Kocho, who was standing next to her and had her clothes wet.
Qingxi shrank her neck. This little sister had a very bad temper and she was not to be trifled with.
"But even if he's a little liar, Jiro only looks for you, Aki." Kocho Kanae retracted her gaze from the crow and turned her head away, "Shinobu Jiro and I don't want us to get close to him."
That's because it was thinking about the delicious food in my food backpack, and that's why it wanted to get close to me.
Qingxi responded silently in his heart.
Jiro is a retired crow with only eyes. After seeing Qingxi busy, he drilled into the hydrangea alone.
"Leave the rest of the drying to me and Shinobu." After the covers were washed, Kocho Kanae and Kocho Shinobu lifted the wooden basin together and pointed towards Kiyoki in the direction of the hydrangea that Jiro had just crawled into. "Go check it out."
What are you looking at it for? Are you going to give it food, watch it eat it all, and then pat its butt and fly away?
Qingxi muttered in his heart but still walked over.
He moved his hand towards the stems and leaves of the hydrangea and said, "I told you last time, if you want to eat, you have to pay."
If you don't let me touch you, ignore me, and even give me a sour face, no matter how smart you are, who will give you food?
Even if you want to eat, you have to pay me.
If you don't have money, go ask Ubuyashiki Kyouya for it and see if he is willing to give you a special treatment for a retired bird.
Hydrangea Yejianjiro came out, but what Qingxi didn't expect was that this time, the bird really brought its food money.
Picking up the small ruby that sparkled brightly in the sunlight, she was a little confused and asked, "Where did you get this?"
The item is not very new, but it looks like it has been well preserved before.
"So, you, you must have stolen someone else's things and are now selling them here."
Qingxi reached out to catch the crow as he spoke, but even though it had retreated from the front line of the crows, its agile body was still there, so Qingxi couldn't catch it no matter how hard he tried.
Qingxi: ...That makes me a little angry.
Throwing the ruby back to Jiro, Qingxi took a bowl of corn berry sauce and strawberry rice and placed it in front of Jiro. "Here, this is what we have today, no meat."
"And that one." He pointed at the ruby to the "pile driver," and said, "Remember where you stole it and return it to me secretly.
Although I know that it is the nature of you crows to like shiny things, please don't steal other people's things. That would be a disgrace to your lord who raised you."
Perhaps because he was tired of Qingxi's teaching, for the first time, Jiro looked up at her and shouted in a voice that could only be understood but definitely not pleasant to the ear: "It's mine, the gem is mine. Madam Tianyin gave it to me, and now it's given to you."
Qingxi rolled her eyes at the sky in annoyance, and her tone didn't improve. "Then why didn't you say it earlier? You think I'm annoying, and I think talking to you is boring. Wouldn't it be okay if you explained it earlier?"
He took the ruby back and raised two fingers to Jiro, saying, "Two choices. 1. Exchange this ruby for six months of food at my place. The ingredients are all edible ingredients below level 2. 2. Exchange this ruby for two months of food at my place. The ingredients range from level 10 to level 0. It's your choice."
Jiro's pecking movements became slower and slower. Qingxi didn't know whether he couldn't understand what she said or his brain was too smart, so he was thinking about how to eat the first choice when choosing the second choice.
But it seems that her assumptions were wrong, Jiro was actually very well behaved and did not give her option 1 to cause trouble.
Qingxi: "I understand. I will be responsible for your meals for the next six months. You can come here every day according to the time. I won't wait for you if you are late."
After she finished speaking, she stood up because she saw some members of the Hidden Department carrying two seriously injured patients over.
"Are you a medical professional? There are seriously injured people here who need treatment."
"This way." Qingxi trotted in front to open the door for these Anbu members, guiding them to the ward on the first floor first while she ran to find Ueno Arata.
.
Every time a wounded person was sent in by the Hidden Department, there would inevitably be an inevitable “big battle” in the clinic.
"Doctor Ueno, what are you doing?"
In the ward on the first floor, Qingxi couldn't help but ask as he watched Ueno Arata using a needle and then a thread to disinfect.
The newbie Ueno was working non-stop, but he still managed to find some time to respond to the black-haired girl's words, "Can't you see? Of course, it's to reattach the injured soldier's broken arm."
"Are you sure you can reattach the arm?" she asked again.
Ueno Arata used the most serious voice and said the most irresponsible words, "How is it possible? Putting aside the medical equipment in the clinic, it's hard to find treatment like reattaching a broken arm.
Normally, someone with this kind of injury would either bleed to death due to inadequate bleeding control, or the limb wouldn't be properly protected, rendering reattachment completely meaningless. It's rare for either the person or the limb to be brought back immediately, as happened now. Everything was ready, and Ueno Arata's face was filled with that unforgettable eagerness to try something new.
Facing the ghost hunter with a broken arm who was about to fall into a coma but whose eyes were still open, Ueno Arata said sincerely, "This is my first time reattaching a broken arm. Although I have fully mastered the theoretical knowledge, I cannot guarantee the actual operation, and I may even fail. So, ghost hunter, please be mentally prepared."
The ghost hunter who was about to faint with a broken arm was suddenly awakened by the "I am a villain" expression on Ueno Arata's face.
No no no, don’t come over here!!! Please, anyone will do, please find me a different doctor.
Help, help! ! ! !
The young ghost hunter who lost an arm shook his head frantically with tears in his eyes.
This doctor is really, really horrible.
Perhaps the young ghost hunter's prayers really worked. Just when he was about to accept his fate, a small but heavy hand reached out and grabbed Ueno Shin's hand holding the needle.
The tears in the young ghost hunter's eyes flowed more fiercely.
Yes, I’m saved.
Mom, I seemed to see an angel descending in front of me.
"Anything else?" Ueno Arata lowered his head and met the girl's blue eyes. "The longer it takes, the less 'fresh' this arm will become. Then we won't be able to reattach it."
Qingxi quickly disinfected her hands, then took the severed arm from Ueno Arata's hand. When Ueno Arata raised an eyebrow, waiting for her next words, she said seriously, "Doctor Ueno, if possible, let me take over this severed arm."
If she were to take over, she could ensure that even if the arm could not be restored to its original state, it could at least be able to move around a little and lift some heavy objects. But if it was Dr. Ueno... think about the scene when he first broke the other person's heart by acupuncture.
She was afraid that this ghost hunter would not die at the hands of the ghost, but instead die while being treated at the base camp behind his own Demon Slayer Corps. That would be too miserable a death.
Ueno Arata shook his head. "Although your acupuncture skills are very impressive, Axi, you are not up to the task of reattaching a broken arm. Besides, you are too young now, and your physical strength is completely insufficient to support you in completing the operation."
Qingxi: "My eyes can see tiny things that humans can't. This means that without the help of any instruments, I can do my best to sew the severed tendons back together one by one."
Ueno Arata raised an eyebrow in surprise. He handed all the tools in his hands to her and said, "In that case, you take his arm."
Qingxi did not take the thing handed to him by the other party, but started to perform the most basic cleaning on the broken arm and the wound of the young ghost hunter.
Clean the dirt around the wound, trim the wound edges, remove necrotic, devitalized and severely contaminated tissues... Ueno Shinzorochi watched the whole process of her treating the wound and became her assistant who handed her the things she needed.
Next up is the suture surgery.
Ueno Shinzai thought secretly in his heart.
However, the girl's next move left him stunned and puzzled.
She smeared a layer of milky white substance on the trimmed edges of the bones, making it impossible for him to identify it, and then pressed it on the young ghost hunter's wound before he could stop her.
"No, no, wait." Ueno Arata, who had reacted, picked up Qingxi and said, "What did you just apply on the bone? Is it some kind of medicine? But you should at least explain it to me so that I can confirm whether it can be used."
Qingxi twisted her body a few times but couldn't break free. She had no choice but to explain it to him simply, "It's a natural adhesive. It can stick to most objects. It has no side effects."
Ueno Shin looked as if he had seen a ghost. "I'm not well-educated, so don't lie to me. If this thing really exists in the world, why haven't I, a doctor, heard of it?"
Qingxi silently looked away, "My lord knows, you can ask him later."
Everything can be attributed to the Lord, the Lord is really useful.jpg
Ueno Arata: "W-what? Lord, does the lord know about this too?"
Qingxi moved her body again: "Doctor Ueno, can you let me go now? I want to start splicing my tendons."
Ueno. Right now, I want to rush to headquarters and ask the lord for an explanation. Shin released his grip on the girl's collar.
Be patient, I will go find the lord after this operation is over.
