The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

The assistant sterilized the silver needle, but Li Yuan was worried and used inner breath to sterilize it again.

Zhao Xiuqin pierced the bottom corner of her face and carefully felt the internal scar tissue.

In the past, I didn’t understand the structure of skin tissue and had no sense of it.

Now that I feel it again, I realize how complicated her scars are.

Judging from the characteristics of the wound, it was a stab wound. Due to the lack of timely treatment, some foreign matter remained inside.

The invasion of foreign bodies leads to excessive proliferation or abnormal fibrosis of macrophages, forming hypertrophic scars or keloids.

Under the coverage of mind power, the scar connective tissue presents an intertwined fiber network structure, which contains a large amount of collagen.

This is the scar that Li Yuan least wants to encounter, because in addition to various fibers like thin steel wires, there are also a large number of blood vessels and nerves in it.

One bad move may lead to facial paralysis.

Seeing that Li Yuan had not made any move for a long time, Zhao Xiuqin, as his assistant, knew that he had encountered a problem.

"Is there any difficulty?"

"It's a bit difficult," he didn't hide it, and she had to be mentally prepared.

She didn't hesitate, "Just go ahead and do it. You know me. I always have scars and life is worse than death."

Li Yuan stared at her steadily, but she did not dodge and looked directly into his eyes.

Nodding, he put the small fan aside without any further hesitation.

Start cleaning from the subcutaneous tissue, carefully crush the selected connective tissue with internal breath, and try to retain larger blood vessels and nerve tissue.

At this time, the surrounding environment is absolutely dust-free.

Disinfect the face, make a small incision, take out the powder, and then clean it carefully with inner breath.

Since the wound was small enough, no stitches were needed and it was wrapped directly with gauze.

The scar was about 5mm and took a whole morning. This is the result of long training.

"That's it for today. Let's see the effect first. Remember to come over in the afternoon to observe the effect."

Zhao Xiuqin behaved very meekly today, nodding her head in agreement.

Zheng Xia had almost no work today and left early to prepare lunch for everyone.

In the afternoon, Li Yuanbing would check the wound every hour.

It may be that the internal energy is too strong, but the wound only produces a small amount of collagen and macrophages.

In this way, new mutations or fibrotic connective tissue will not develop.

Under his precise control, the subcutaneous tissue produced new loose connective tissue and fat tissue.

Everything is going well, so in 2 days, this part of the subcutaneous tissue will return to normal.

The next day, he still did not continue, but carefully observed the changes in the treatment part.

After all, she is a young girl, and she can never be too careful.

On the morning of the third day, it was confirmed that the treatment effect was good and nothing bad happened.

He just started the real treatment.

This treatment actually lasted for half a month.

The sun is shining brightly, and Zhao Xiuqin, who has been living in Li Yuan's office, is finally going to see the effects of the treatment.

Uncle Song and Zheng Xia also stood nearby, waiting for the results.

In fact, Zheng Xia has gone through almost the entire treatment process and knows the effect, but she also wants to see the final effect today.

Li Yuan gently removed the bandage on her face, and she closed her eyes nervously.

I can't imagine what my face will look like.

Her heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat.

Finally, she plucked up the courage and opened her eyes. The scars on the familiar face in the mirror disappeared, leaving only black and pink.

Other than that, it is a smooth and beautiful face.

She almost couldn't believe her eyes. She gently touched her face with her hands, feeling the delicacy and softness of the skin, as well as the faint tingling sensation.

For so many years, she has felt inferior and uneasy because of the scars on her face. Now, she can finally get rid of this shadow and regain her confidence and courage.

A stream of tears burst out, and Li Yuan hurriedly covered the scar with a clean towel.

When she woke up, she quickly wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and then smiled and said: "Thank you."

"Today's skin is very delicate and cannot bear irritation."

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he disinfected her face again.

Then use inner breath to clean without dead spots to ensure the skin is clean.

Apply homemade ointment and gauze again.

"The next step is a slow recovery process. You need to observe whether there are any changes inside again. At the same time, you need to remove the pigment and wait for the growth of the cuticle."

Zhao Xiuqin could only nod her head, and her previously quiet heart became active again. She looked at Li Yuan with her pretty face burning.

Due to the presence of others, she had no choice but to suppress her excitement.

The treatment went very smoothly. Perhaps it was due to the carefulness and meticulousness during the treatment. The skin recovered well without any adverse reactions.

A month has passed. Except for a slight color difference from the skin next to it, the whole face has regained its beauty.

Zhao Xiuqin laughs more now.

At Li Yuan's suggestion, Zhao Xiuqin's parents became teachers in Lujiapo Village. In addition to teaching children knowledge, they usually cleaned the cowshed.

However, even the final work was done with the help of children.

Except that their conditions are a little worse, their lives have returned to normal.

As her contact with Li Yuan deepened, Zhao's mother regretted her original decision.

Time passed quickly, like fast forwarding.

On the winter day of 1967, Zhao Xiuqin, whom she had not seen for a long time, appeared in front of Li Yuan.

"Motoko, I have to leave," she said with complicated eyes.

She had many ideas, and she once thought about just being a child. She also hinted at it a few times, but Li Yuan kept pretending to be stupid.

After leaving for a while out of anger, she found her old boss and found out that her past identity had not been eliminated.

After more than a month of reflection, she knew it was time to leave.

She was afraid of the day when Li Yuan nodded, and she was also afraid of the day when Li Yuan clearly refused.

For her, leaving is the best option.

She had no regrets about leaving this time, only heavy gratitude.

This time it was a mission going south, as long as it was far away from the capital.

The two came to the restaurant they used to frequent.

"Xiu Qin, please contact me if anything happens," Li Yuan said with a smile while holding the wine glass.

"The same goes for you. I will leave my parents to you. There is nothing to repay. I will leave no regrets in my next life."

She spoke crisply and without any embarrassment.

The two looked at each other, smiled, raised their glasses and drank in one gulp.

"Here are some money notes. I will lend them to you temporarily and pay them back to me when you are rich that day." Li Yuan put a small paper bag in front of her.

She didn't hesitate, took it, and put it casually into the bag next to her.

"Lao Li, what I said has always been effective." She smiled very naturally, but her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.

Li Yuan smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Xiuqin left and went south to do a mission.

Li Yuan was the only one in the empty office.

Smelling the familiar smell inside, he felt a sense of emptiness and loss, as if he had lost something most important.

It wasn't until he returned home at night and saw Yang Ting with a big belly and little Lele jumping on him that his heart returned to calm.

A happy smile bloomed on his face again.
