Chapter 65: The Lewd Girl's Spring
Liu Rong was bewildered, she just fiddled with the scale on the map, explained what the scale meant, and drew a simple 3D diagram, that's all... what is going on here!
"You want to see those craftsmen? Maybe after you've seen them, the things you want can be reduced in size and re-made." Zuo Tingxuan said temptingly as he looked at Liu Rong.
Liu Rong rolled her eyes: "Where is this good thing you're talking about? I want to see it before I say anything."
Shangguan Jing'er led Liu Rong to the inner room, and saw that the experimental equipment had increased several times in size before her eyes. Liu Rong's mouth twitched slightly, what was this for making things? This was preparing a pile of ironware, so she could make a living by selling scrap metal in the future!
However, when Liu Rong's gaze swept over something, she was surprised to see a ceramic object that looked like a syringe on the table. Behind the ceramic object was a sliding buttocks that could be pushed forward, and next to the syringe was a long, hollow needle.
Liu Rong connected the two together and tried sliding them a bit, and surprisingly it wasn't bad.
Liu Rong couldn't help but feel delighted, almost jumping up with joy.
"What is this?" Zuo Tingxuan looked at Liu Rong holding the ceramic needle tube, almost drooling, and couldn't help but ask.
Liu Rong smiled: "One very useful thing, but I'm still troubling you with one more thing."
"Huh?"
"The ironware here is too prone to rust, and the time it can be used for maintenance won't be long, so I hope to call on the craftsmen again to help me forge another batch of hollow needles."
Liu Rong spoke quickly to Zuo Tingxuan, then continued to examine the small objects on the table, only to discover that except for the experimental equipment specially set aside by the researcher of penicillin, all the other small objects and porcelain were normal in size.
When looking at the circular suture needles and triangular suture needles needed for surgery, Liu Rong almost cried out in happiness. She could finally bid farewell to the era of asking others to hold the needle.
If I could get sheep intestines again, this world would be perfect!
Now there is a syringe, although there is no intravenous drip bottle, but fortunately, if we are lucky enough to get penicillin in the future, we can inject it to reduce inflammation.
No one can imagine the emotions of a 21st-century doctor seeing his familiar surgical tools in ancient times. It's an unspeakable joy, just like someone who is lost in the desert and on the verge of death sees an oasis!
Those who were watching Liu Rong's ecstatic state, which was only a step away from turning around in circles, couldn't help but look at each other in confusion. They really couldn't understand why Liu Rong wasn't delighted by the craftsmen's admiration of her abilities, but instead showed an incomparable joy towards these lifeless objects.
"Liu Lao, can you give me one of those surgical bags you use?" Liu Rong asked with a smile after a while.
"That's no problem at all." With that, Old Liu walked out and soon came back with the surgical bag.
Spotlessly clean, it was clear that it had never been used before, but inside, there was a surgical knife. When Liu Rong saw the surgical knife for an instant, she almost fainted from fright.
Carefully putting the suture needle into a small cloth bag specifically for acupuncture needles, and then also putting the ceramic needle tube in, Liu Rong was finally satisfied to put the surgical bag on her back.
A string of actions left everyone present staring in amazement.
It's not that these people are too inexperienced, but rather no one can imagine such a scene: a young girl with an expression like a lecherous old man, and it's directed at a bag full of hazardous materials.
After everything was done, Liu Rong returned to normal and looked at Shangguan Jing'er with a slightly awkward inquiry: "These things can't be taken into my mansion. But I might need them in the future, can they be kept here for now?"
Shangguan Jing'er smiled: "This is no problem, you can come whenever you like, and if in the future you can often come to Guo Wangfu to help our guards with their illnesses, that would be even better."
"You're looking for a free doctor, huh?" Liu Rong smiled and joked: "This won't do. Next time you want me to diagnose you, you'll have to pay the medical fees."
"This is naturally no problem, if it's worth paying silver, I can save many people like saving Dong Huwei. I believe my brother will be very happy." Shangguan Jing'er said with a smile to Liu Rong.
"I'm not willing, I'm worried that I'll be exhausted to death." Liu Rong said and looked at Lao Liu again: "Lao Liu, although I know how to perform surgery, but I don't understand Chinese medicine very well. Can I follow you as an apprentice?"
Liu Rong said that she was a bit embarrassed here. She had teased the other party before, but now she wanted the other party to agree to let her follow and learn traditional Chinese medicine.
But thinking about it, constantly performing surgery isn't a long-term thing. Minor symptoms are easy to talk about, but what if one day I encounter a life-threatening condition? Should I operate or not?
It's better to make other plans earlier than this.
Liu Lao was stunned: "Miss Liu San, are you kidding me? Your medical skills are already so impressive, why do you still want to learn from me?"
"I don't have much to teach you, anyway." Liu Lao said seriously as he looked at Liu Rong.
"What nature says is true, more true than the truth." Liu Rong walked closer to Lao Liu: "Although I understand some methods of treating external injuries, it's not possible for me to just look at this all the time. Moreover, these people who are operating on are all unconscious, what if one day we encounter someone who is not unconscious?"
Liu Lao almost fainted: "Don't you know that there's a kind of medicine called anesthetic in this world?"
Liu Rong was stunned, she really didn't know what to say. In ancient times, so many officers and soldiers were injured and needed treatment, how could they all bear it? Of course, there were many matching medicines.
Thinking of this, she became even more determined to learn traditional Chinese medicine from Liu Lao. She then bowed to him and said: "Liu Rong has met her master, please accept my bow as your apprentice."
But it was forced to win, and Liu Lao was not allowed to refuse himself.
It was already late afternoon when Liu Rong returned to the Wen Ding Hou Fu with the medical book given by Liu Lao. In order not to worry about Zhong Shi, Liu Rong sent Dong Er back to report safety after returning to the mansion, but she went to Liujie's residence instead.
When they arrived at Liu Jie's residence, they saw that Liu Jie had already started having dinner. Upon seeing Liu Rong arrive, Liu Jie immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks, jumped up and ran to Liu Rong's side, pulling Liu Rong to have dinner together.
Liu Rong didn't stand on ceremony, and indeed she was hungry, so she wolfed down some food, then sat under the oil lamp on the side with the book Liu Lao had given her.
"Third Miss, let's look again tomorrow. Reading like this will ruin your eyes." The wet nurse couldn't help but step forward to remind her.
Liu Rong flipped over a page: "It's okay, I have good eyesight."
"Good eyes, can't stand such abuse, just like Lian'er, the maid in Fourth Miss's room, who was originally plump and healthy, but suddenly fell ill in the afternoon after running around for Fourth Miss..."
ps:
The update for 657muzi's reward is complete, thank you to Ai Tai for the lifetime reward. If I have energy tomorrow, I will add an extra chapter as a reward. I have to go to work now and my time will be limited, plus I type slowly, but I'll try my best!
