After the army got the news, they quickly selected five medical skilled military doctors and sent them to Yan City overnight on fast horses. Old General Chu also came along.

In the last battle, Old General Chu and Gu Xiao teamed up to beat Dirong back into Baishan, a hundred miles away. They would be powerless to fight again in a short period. Hearing that Sage Apothecary was willing to teach the art of suturing to military doctors, the old general stayed up all night excitedly. He handed over the border affairs to the Adjutant General and rushed to Yan City regardless of the severe cold.

The Old General and five military doctors got off their horses and before they even had time to drink water, they entered the guest house where Sage Apothecary lived. They couldn’t wait to discuss with him suture techniques and learn them. It was as if they were afraid that he would change his mind.

Gu Ye has already set up a simple operating room in the yard. Seeing the dusty faces of the military doctors, she frowned and said, “Go take a shower first, put on clean clothes, and cut your nails short…”

”Uh… there are no wounded today, so can we skip these steps?” The person who spoke was an old acquaintance — The military doctor named Si Linhai. When they were in Junlang Pass, this guy was full of longing and curiosity about her chest operation and archery skills. When he heard that they were sending some people to learn suturing, he hounded people to get a place and was overly eager to learn.

Gu Ye stretched out his index finger, shook it at him, and said, “Absolutely not. You must know that even the tiniest negligence can cause infection on an injury. If our soldiers had a narrow escape from the battlefield, but died in a minor operation, wouldn’t they be wronged? Therefore, hygiene must be strictly controlled, and hygiene issues should be regarded as the primary problem before and after surgery. Make it a habit, a system, and it must be integrated into the bones of surgeons! “

The slender little girl who didn’t even reach under their armpits exuded an inviolable majesty and momentum. The military doctors felt like they were recruits who were being reprimanded by the Old General after making mistakes. Si Linhai scratched his nose and retreated weakly, and dutifully went to solve his own hygiene problems.

Old General Chu watched from the side with a smile, and said to Sage Apothecary, “Brother, you have accepted a wonderful apprentice. This is the kind of energy you should have! ! Brother, you’re deep-righteous for passing on such precious medical skills to the army. Brother, I came here on behalf of thousands of soldiers to give you our deepest gratitude. I have already reported you and your apprentice’s meritorious deeds to the imperial court, and I believe that the rewards will be sent soon.”

”I don’t care whether there are rewards or not! It is my apprentice who is soft-hearted and doesn’t want our soldiers to die because of lack of good medical conditions.” Sage Apothecary felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that he had taken the credit of his apprentice, so he couldn’t help but shower his apprentice with some compliments.

”Brother, you have a good eye for accepting apprentices! This little girl is indeed outstanding!” Old General Chu saw the little girl critically pointing out the faults of the five military doctors who had changed their clothes after taking a bath. She looked very serious, rather like a little teacher.

”Before any operation, you need to change into surgical gowns and pants, wear a mask and a hat, and keep your hair out inside the hat. Soap your hands, forearms, elbows, and the lower half of your upper arm. The crevices of your nails, in particular, should be cleaned with a brush…” Gu Ye pointed at the dirt in the crevices of Military Doctor Si’s nails and shook her head repeatedly. “Disqualified!”

”Okay, I’m going to wash again — Wait a minute, isn’t Sage Apothecary going to teach us the suture technique? Miss Gu, you are…” Doctor Si came to his senses. Something didn’t seem right. Where did Sage Apothecary go? How did they end up being fooled by a little girl?

”In the preparatory stage of suturing, do you think my master is still needed for such a simple step? I am more than enough to teach you. What? Are you looking down on me? Only the teacher criticizes students. What kind of student picks on the teacher? Do you want to learn or not? If you don’t, go back to your Junlang Pass and let someone else come over.” The person with the highest skill was the boss. Gu Yeniu cast sidelong glares at the several military doctors. That look on her face was asking for a beating!

Doctor Si finally got a spot to learn suture, so how could he give up so easily? He anxiously responded with a smile, “Miss Gu is right. These are simple steps. How dare we trouble the Grand Sage Apothecary? Ms. Gu has been with his old man for so long. It is enough to teach us novices.”

Gu Ye nodded in satisfaction and said, “Don’t take the hygienic condition of a surgical environment lightly. Remember, surgery is no small matter. Everything must be taken seriously! ! Next, I will talk about the disinfection of the skin. It is a disinfectant specially developed by my master for your Major General. If the situation is urgent, high-concentration spirits can be used instead…”

Seeing the five military doctors nodding their heads while listening and recording the main points on their books, Gu Ye felt a sense of pride in being a teacher and lectured more seriously.

When she was talking about the disinfection of surgical instruments, a young man suddenly rushed in and shouted, “They are coming! We found a wounded man! “
