BXBX NOVEL Chapter 473 - Suturing
Doctor Shen was very curious about the needle and thread in her hand. After she cut the thread, he immediately took the needle thread from her hand. He had never seen such a thing before. This thread was not the same as the ordinary thread. So he asked: “What is this thread?”
Bai Zhi smiled and stretched out her hand to take the suture: “This is a special thread I use for sewing clothes. I don’t have anything else with me, so I used this to improvised, I didn’t expect it to be effective.”
Doctor Shen didn’t care too much. Everyone has their own secret. Some people don’t want others to learn their special medical techniques. This was normal and reasonable, but he couldn’t help but be curious. After all, this suturing treatment can make patients heal faster and recover much better.
Doctor Shen continued to treat his patient, who he just finished applying medicine. After that, he inspected the ointment that Bai Zhi delivered. He opened several cans and then nodded his head again and again: “This ointment is a lot better than the last one. It seems your medical hall is working really hard.”
Even a servant in the Bai Caotang can have such a medical skills and insight. So, he wanted to meet the doctor in that medical hall. He must be a famous doctor.
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “Yes, the soldiers are bleeding and getting injured to protect our families and our country. We civilians cannot help them aside from doing small things like this.”
Doctor Shen nodded his head: “That’s right, what you said is true.” Then, he looked at the sky outside and sighed: “It’s so late, have you eaten yet?”
Bai Zhi secretly rejoiced when an opportunity came. She touched her belly and said with an embarrassed face: “Don’t talk about dinner, I haven’t even had lunch!”
Doctor Shen busily said: “I’ll let someone send food in here.”
Bai Zhi quickly waved her hand: “No need, it ’s so late. People in the kitchen camp may be already sleeping. Why don’t you just tell me where the kitchen camp is? I’ll go and find what I can eat. As long as it can fill my stomach, it’s enough.”
Doctor Shen didn’t hesitate, he told her the direction: “Just go straight here until you see a triangle flag hanging on top of the tent, then turn right. Walk pass through three large camps, then you will see the kitchen camp. You will be able to recognize it at once.”
Bai Zhi thanked Doctor Shen, and then quickly turned around and went into the carriage to pick up her cloth bag.
“What kind of treasure do you have in this cloth bag that you have to carry it even when having dinner?” Doctor Shen asked.
Bai Zhi smiled: “There is no treasure. I delivered several goods along the way, I received the payment.”
Unfortunately, Doctor Shen refused to believe that there was money inside.
When Bai Zhi was about to leave, Doctor Shen called her again and gave her a wooden card: “This is my identification card. If there is a patrol that blocked your way, you can show this and then they will let you go.”
Bai Zhi thanked Doctor Shen again and again, she didn’t expect that Doctor Shen, who doesn’t look easy to get along with, has a very warm heart.
Bai Zhi followed the direction that Doctor Shen has said and also met the patrol along the way. When the patrol saw the identification card she was holding, he let her go without saying a word. Doctor Shen was a military doctor, but he was not someone to be messed up with. In the past, his apprentice came to help in other camps and strolled along the way when he finished. But because he didn’t bring his identification card, he was bullied by patrolmen. Doctor Shen went to several generals and caused trouble. The two patrolmen who bullied his apprentice was punished with 20 boards and almost die. Since then, whenever the patrolmen encountered people in the medical camp, they tried to avoid them as much as possible.
