208 Getting Scolded for Taking a Pulse
Wei Wusheng said proudly, “Since you’re already trying to please me so much, then I’ll reluctantly accept it.”
Jian Qingqing pushed him away and said, “Go, go, go, Master Wei, quickly teach me your medical skills!”
Li Baode had not woken up yet, but the wounds on his body were getting better. There was already very little pus, and some of the lighter edges were already scabbed.
Wei Wusheng let her take a look for herself and then told her the results of her observation. He then corrected or taught her something else that she had not discovered.
Jian Qingqing did not feel that there was anything wrong with his way of teaching others, so she carefully took Li Baode’s pulse.
She was still very unfamiliar with the method of taking Li Baode’s pulse. She closed her eyes and carefully felt it for a long time before she could feel the indistinct pulse that was different from a normal person’s.
She opened her eyes and said hesitantly, “The pulse… is very weak. It’s light and drifting. It’s indistinct, but the roots are thin and firm…”
Wei Wusheng sneered and mocked, “Why did you take the pulse of a person who is about to die!”
Jian Qingqing lowered her head, feeling guilty and not daring to speak.
It was different from her usual easy-going appearance. Wei Wusheng was still very strict in teaching people. He never relaxed his requirements on her, and he would not be reluctant to scold her because of their relationship.
On the contrary, whenever she did not meet his requirements, she would be scolded. This kind of sarcasm was already a common occurrence.
Perhaps Wei Wusheng was a genius in medicine, while she was a rookie. Just like a straight-A student, the student would never know why other students would not be able to grasp such a simple concept. Wei Wusheng also could never understand why she could not learn how to take a pulse even after learning for so many days.
“How is it weak when the pulse is so strong? It’s beating strongly, it’s clearly a sign of waking up soon. Why do you make it sound like he’s going to die?”
Jian Qingqing’s head drooped lower and lower, her chin touching her collarbone.
She just could not learn how to feel a pulse. All the pulse felt the same for her, there was no difference. It was just the difference between a faster pulse and a slower one.
She admitted her mistake humbly and said, “I was wrong. I’ll practice more, and I’ll definitely be able to get it done!”
Wei Wusheng saw her sincere expression and frowned. He held back his mocking words and said, “Alright, alright, you can take another look at his wound.”
Jian Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief. She went forward and used a sterilized wooden stick to gently press on the wound on his body. The scabs on the edges were already very hard, and there was no place for them to soften even if they were pressed down, this meant that there was no pus left. Only the wound in the middle was still red, but there was no blood seeping out. It was only a matter of time before these wounds were well-taken care of.
Wei Wusheng said, “That salt water of yours is quite useful. If you use it to clean the wound, it won’t be infected anymore. Otherwise, I reckon that after scraping the flesh, the pus will still fester for a while before it forms a scab.”
Jian Qingqing said proudly, “Right! Actually, if you don’t use dirty things to touch the wound, it will heal very quickly. I made alcohol two days ago. After I’m done, you can wash your hands when you treat the patient in the future. It’ll be even safer.”
Wei Wusheng chuckled, “If you have time, you’d better learn how to take a pulse properly. Don’t do those nonsense things.”
Jian Qingqing said unwillingly, “How is it nonsense?! You’ll know the benefits when I’m done!”
At this moment, the two of them heard someone muttering beside them. Jian Qingqing turned around to look and said in surprise, “Aiya! Uncle Li, you’re awake!”
Li Baode opened his eyes slightly and before he could recall what had happened, he looked at the girl in front of him and asked in confusion, “Who are you?”
