"Yang Zi, help me get the suture box—the blue one!" Boss Shao shouted again. A shop assistant who was cutting up some mutton slices put down the meat cleaver and went to grab a small first aid kit.
"The threads you want are all inside. I don't mind having any scars; it's something inevitable. Anything's fine with me as long as I can continue barbecuing." Shao Jian may have said those words, yet he stared intently at Ling Ran's actions. It was clear that he was still a little concerned about the scar.
Ling Ran opened the small blue box by himself and found gauze, scissors, as well as other things. He opened a new bottle of iodophor and told Boss Shao that he was about to begin before he silently carried out the procedure on him.
The metal bits that entered the back of Shao's hand had to be taken out. The wound needed to be cleaned, but anesthesia could not be used during the debridement. Hence, Shao Jian had to bare his teeth and endure it for a while.
