Chapter 387: Accepting a Disciple and Suturing Wounds
When the seven people saw Chu Zixi looking at them, they all took a step forward and bowed: "Greetings, Princess."
Chu Zixi gently raised her hand, indicating that they didn't need to be so polite, and then slowly said in a calm and firm tone: "I believe Yu Si has already told everyone that this princess intends to accept disciples and train some personal disciples. Are you willing to worship me as your master?"
The seven people couldn't help but feel excited when they heard this. This is Princess Zhan! Regardless of her medical skills, it is an honor for them to be able to enter the Zhan Palace and become Princess Zhan's apprentices.
"We do!" the seven answered in unison.
Chu Zixi nodded gently, walked lightly to the stone bench in the middle of the yard, and sat down gracefully.
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, dappling on her body, adding a touch of gentleness to her. She said softly, "Very good, introduce yourselves!"
"Wang Shun, twenty-five years old." A burly man with a simple face bowed.
"Wang Qi, 25 years old." Another man next to him followed closely. The two men looked very similar and were obviously twin brothers.
"Li Ping, twenty-four years old." said a young man of medium build and firm eyes.
"Zhou Yao, twenty-three years old." A young man with a handsome face and a scholarly air bowed.
"Dong Feng, twenty-two years old." A tall and taciturn young man responded in a low voice.
"Ling Xiao, twenty years old." said a young man with sharp eyes and a stern temperament.
"Ling Miaomiao, sixteen years old." A pretty girl in a light green dress said softly, with curiosity and expectation in her eyes.
After the seven people introduced themselves, they knelt down and said in unison: "We are honored to take the princess as our master. Master, please accept our worship."
Yu Si stood aside and added respectfully, "Princess, Wang Shun and Wang Qi are twin brothers who have been dependent on each other since childhood. Ling Xiao and Ling Miaomiao are also siblings. Ling Xiao is good at medicine, while Ling Miaomiao is quite interested in herbs."
Chu Zixi nodded slightly, glanced at the seven people in front of her, and nodded secretly in her heart.
She whispered, "Get up, Yuji, go catch a rabbit."
Upon hearing this, Yu Er flashed and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
But after a while, Yu Er came back carrying a furry rabbit.
Chu Zixi stood up, gently took the rabbit, and gently stroked its soft fur.
Then, she opened the medicine box beside her and took out a small and delicate syringe.
She said softly, "Today I will teach you how to suture wounds, and we will use this rabbit for the experiment." After that, she skillfully gave the rabbit an injection of anesthetic.
The rabbit immediately became limp, its eyes closed, and it seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
Chu Zixi picked up a sharp scalpel, took a deep breath, and then decisively cut open the rabbit's belly.
Ling Miaomiao watched from the side and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She asked nervously, "Master Princess, can the rabbit survive if we do this?"
Chu Zixi smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence and calmness in her eyes. She comforted him, "Don't worry, this is just a teaching demonstration. As long as the wound is sutured correctly, the rabbit can survive. Watch carefully and learn how to treat the wound correctly."
Upon hearing this, the seven people all looked solemn. They widened their eyes and stared closely at Chu Zixi's every move, as if time had stopped, for fear of missing any tiny detail.
Chu Zixi's face was as calm as water. She first picked up a clean handkerchief, dipped it in anti-inflammatory water, and carefully wiped the hideous wound on the rabbit's belly.
Her movements were gentle and careful. After cleaning, she gently put down the handkerchief in her hand, took out a roll of catgut from the medicine box beside her, and began to sew.
She held a slender silver needle in her hand, and the catgut thread flexibly shuttled through her fingertips like a flexible silk thread.
As her fingers danced, the needle tip flickered with a faint light. Chu Zixi sewed skillfully while patiently explaining every step and precaution to everyone: "Look, when suturing a wound, you must first align the two sides of the wound, and then sew it with needle and thread.
The stitches should be even and not too sparse, otherwise they will easily split; but they should not be too dense, so as not to affect healing. Finally, after the stitches are completed, the wound needs to be cleaned again with disinfectant to prevent infection. "Her voice was soft and firm, with a reassuring power.
Brothers Wang Shun and Wang Qi looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with excitement and curiosity. They had never seen such a delicate operation, and they had never thought that the wound could be sutured so perfectly.
Li Ping looked very focused, afraid of missing any details.
Zhou Yao and Dong Feng showed admiration on their faces.
Ling Xiao's eyes flickered as he thought to himself. He knew very well that the princess' medical skills had reached perfection, and as her disciple, he must work harder to live up to her expectations.
Ling Miaomiao widened her eyes and watched Chu Zixi's movements without blinking.
With the last stitch in Chu Zixi's hand, the rabbit's wound was perfectly sutured.
Ling Miaomiao stepped forward to check the rabbit's breathing, widened her eyes, and said in disbelief: "Master, the rabbit is really not dead, it's still alive."
"Okay, Yu Er, go catch some rabbits and try to suture the wound." Chu Zixi said with a smile.
After Yu Er and Yu San caught a lot of rabbits, the seven people came forward, gave the rabbits anesthetics, scratched their stomachs, carefully picked up needles and thread, and began to try to suture the wounds.
Their techniques still seemed a little unfamiliar, but under Chu Zixi's patient guidance, they gradually found the feeling.
Time passed by quickly like a white horse passing by, and in a blink of an eye, the sunset had set in the west.
Chu Zixi silently stared at the pile of rabbit corpses beside her, and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
After passing through the hands of the seven of them, no rabbit was spared.
She sighed softly and said softly, "That's all for today's practice. You must continue to work hard and practice more to master the suturing technique as soon as possible. I will come back to check in three days. If you still can't keep the rabbit alive by then..."
At this point, she paused, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Then I will let you taste the taste of laughing powder and crying powder."
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed. Although they didn't know the effects of the laughing powder and crying powder, seeing that the princess's master had a strange expression, they all knew that they were not good things. Everyone nodded and said that they would work harder.
Chu Zixi nodded with satisfaction, stood up and prepared to leave Jingxinyuan.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stopped, turned around and said to Yu Si: "These rabbits will be your dinner tonight. Yu Si, send them to the kitchen and let the kitchen staff take care of them properly."
Yu Si replied respectfully, "Yes."
