Chapter 53: Never and who’s celestial being
Su Cha and Xiao Tianyao was far from Lin Chujiu. But fortunately, even if she was still forty or fifty meters away, Xiao Tianyao could still see her every action. And… … he could even see the sweat on her forehead.
So for a moment, Xiao Tianyao felt an impulse to wipe away those sweats. But fortunately, he has an amazing self-control and he will never allow himself to make any strange movement because of her.
However, Su Cha was still feeling bitter. He was not only a powerful young man but also has a high position. But, he could only look at the blurred version of her actions because those guardsmen were blocking his way.
Su Cha had spent all of his patience, so he started complaining again. But, he tried to complain by saying: “It seems your Wangfei have a wonderful hands of a thief, ah? Her hand speed is so fast, so she’s definitely good at stealing things!”
Wonderful hands of a thief?
Xiao Tianyao’s eyes flash for a moment, but then returned to calmness: After all, He also wants to know, who’s celestial being is she worshiping to have such an ability!
Suturing an artery and pulling a broken arrow is only a minor surgery. And it can be done for only an hour or two as long as there was no problem. Lin Chujiu’s action is so fast, but there was no trace of panic on her face as if she was only writing a poem in a paper.
However, for Xiao Tianyao and others, Lin Chujiu’s medical techniques are so strange. It was also their first time to see her actions and apparatuses, so it’s beyond their cognitive and imagination.
But because Housekeeper Cao and the guardsmen have low status. They couldn’t dare to ask her or to be more specific they are afraid to ask her about the things she was using and doing.
They don’t ask her a question, so Lin Chujiu naturally wouldn’t need to explain. After a few more minutes, Lin Chujiu temporarily stop the bleeding. Then, she took a gauze on the side to clean up her hands and prepare themselves for pulling the arrow.
“Someone, please… …” Lin Chujiu got used for having an assistant surgeon or nurses during the surgery. So, after saying half of it, she suddenly remembered that she was not in the hospital she got used to and where she could have any assistance.
So, Lin Chujiu just shook her head. No one could help her pull the arrow on Cheng Hu’s chest, so it will be better for her to do it herself. Especially, to avoid any damage to other parts of his heart.
But because the ventilation inside the room is not good, she must lower her head to see the arrow clearly. However, when she lowered her head, all her short hair had scatted and sticks on her neck. Lin Chujiu felt uncomfortable so she tried several times to move them away, but because she couldn’t just brush them off with her hands. She couldn’t wait to look for someone else to do it because she couldn’t take it anymore.
“Can anyone go and find me a maidservant?” Housekeeper Cao wanted to help her but due to the difference of their gender. He couldn’t just casually touch her. It was only a few hair strands, but they could also feel her irritation.
However, at the same time, Xiao Tianyao faintly said: “Go and find her a maidservant.”
“Huh? Are you talking to me?” Su Cha paused for a moment, then look around but found out that aside from him and Xiao Tianyao. There was no one else.
“Aside from you, is there someone else?” Xiao Tianyao coldly asked, then look at him coldly. Su Cha got so shocked, so he immediately said: “Ok, I’ll go, I’ll go now.”
After taking three steps away, Su Cha looks at him to show his dismay. However, Xiao Tianyao ignored him and just quietly look at Lin Chujiu to know what will she do next.
Su Cha is definitely the most unlucky young man in the history. After all, he did not only couldn’t see what she’s doing but also didn’t see her started pulling the arrow. After completely pulling the arrow on Cheng Hu’s chest, his blood started gushing again. So at that moment, not only Housekeeper Cao and the other jumped in fright, but also Xiao Tianyao. All of them got worried because Lin Chujiu might couldn’t handle the situation properly.
*Note: the narration in this part is based on the other character’s point of view, so to portray their ignorance I tried not using a medical term for the instrument.
Each one of them got so worried about her. However, Lin Chujiu herself didn’t show any trace of panic when Cheng Hu’s blood comes out. And then, Lin Chujiu just covered up his wound with a clean cloth (Gauze) and then… …
When they waited for a few minutes, they learn that Lin Chujiu was trying to stop Cheng Hu’s bleeding by using that clean cloth (Gauze). And after stocking up a pile of clean clothes on the side, the bleeding on Cheng Hu’s wound got lessen and lessen.
However, that is not the end of her shocking movements. Lin Chujiu didn’t sprinkle a hemostatic powder on his wound just like what Doctor Wu had done to others. Instead, she took a tweezer (forceps) with a curved needle (Suture) that has a string attached to it and then… …
Right under their nose, Lin Chujiu started stitching the blood vessel inside his chest that is not thin but absolutely not thick too.
Her hand that was holding the tweezers with a curved needle was moving so fast. So at that moment, they got stunned. However, after Lin Chujiu had used that curved needle, the bleeding got even less.
They’ve heard that a stomach can be sewn, but even the blood vessel can be sewn too?
Housekeeper Cao and the others’ mouth got wide open in astonishment. But… …
Just like before, they wanted to ask her a question but they were so afraid to ask her. And they also feel ashamed to appear so ignorant.
But of course, there were still some who’s not afraid to shame themselves. So, they quietly asked the people around them: “Have you ever seen someone sewn a blood vessel before? Is it really possible?”
“Don’t ask that bumpkin. How can a blood vessel be cut if it can be sewn ah?” Someone just said to show off their knowledge.
“Kids, you haven’t seen everything in our world, so later on you need to try to learn.” Another guard patted their shoulder and said, enjoying the amazement they felt for Lin Chujiu.
So, the few guardsmen around him couldn’t help but said: “Oh, the doctors from the Central Empire must be good in saving a life too. No wonder everyone says that living in there is good. Because their doctors are not just for a show.”
“Yes, but unfortunately, the other four countries are not allowed to enter The Central Empire freely. Or else, I might start studying.”

After cleaning Cheng Hu’s wound, Lin Chujiu prepared another suture to completely close the wound on his chest. However, when she heard the guardsmen whispering voices, she couldn’t help but laugh aloud.
These people are really cute, actually, she wanted to explain things to them. But, they just started explaining things on their own.
Wow … Wangfei laughed!
All the guardsmen’s eyes got wide open in disbelief… …
After all, ever since she arrived in this place, her face looks so serious and unemotional. But now that she suddenly laughed, how can they not be surprised.
“Wangfei’s laughter sounds so nice.”A silly soldier didn’t hesitate to speak out what he felt inside his heart. While the others just busily nodded their head. However, Housekeeper Cao got angry, but still tried to calmly said to them: “What nonsense are you talking about? Should you just casually talk things about Wangfei?”
But, if it was not fated for her to get here, then they wouldn’t get an opportunity to see their Wangfei’s laughter for the rest of their life.
Uh … …!
All the guardsmen suddenly remembered that the girl with bloody hands in front of them is not just an ordinary female doctor, but their Wangfu’s Princess.
So at that moment, the guardsmen retreated one by one and no longer dare to stay close to Lin Chujiu. And only use the corner of their eyes to glance a bit to her.
“What happened?” Su Cha just arrived with Zhenzhu, but when he saw the scene, he could not help but ask. However … …
Does he really expect Xiao Tianyao to answer his question?
How naive!
“Go over there.” Xiao Tianyao just casually gave his order to Zhenzhu. And when Zhenzhu heard his voice, she immediately went over to Lin Chujiu, leaving Su Cha who is still annoyed: “What? I haven’t seen anything but your Wangfei already finished sewing up Cheng Hu’s wound!?”
Oh, seriously … … Can’t you ask Lin Chujiu to split him up again so that I would be able to see how did she sew him?
