The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray
Chapter 75 Thoracotomy
When Hu Zi returned home, he was not surprised not to see his sister in the yard. His sister had been busy in the pharmacy these days, and he could always find a cure there.
But this time he guessed wrong. He pushed open the door of the pharmacy and found the room empty.
Hu Zi frowned, walked out of the room and looked at the main room. Could it be that his sister was sleeping?
"Sister?" Hu Zi shouted into the room through the window. He heard no sound from inside for a long time. He panicked and ran into the room. He pushed open the door, but it was still empty.
Hu Zi was completely panicked and tried hard to hold back the tears in his eyes to prevent them from flowing down.
Where is his sister? His sister's daily routine is normal. She should be at home at this time. Could something have happened? What happened?
Hu Zi stood in the room at a loss, and his sister didn't want him anymore.
"Hey, you're back." Shitou greeted Huzi when he saw him come back. Li Xi gave him the house key before leaving.
After his master and that annoying Li Xi left, he was sent to the Li family. He had just gone to the toilet because of a stomachache. When he heard the noise, he guessed that it was Hu Zi who came back. When he came out, it was indeed him.
Hu Zi looked at the stone that suddenly appeared in his home and asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"
Only he and his sister have the key to the house. Could it be that his sister brought her back? Hu Zi tiptoed to look behind the stone. Where is his sister?
Shitou followed Huzi's gaze and looked back, "What are you looking at?"
"Where is my sister?" Hu Zi felt a little disappointed when he didn't see his sister.
"She, she and my master went to Jiayuguan and asked me to accompany you. She asked me to tell you to take care of yourself and she will be back as soon as possible." Shitou sat down at the table and poured himself a glass of water.
"Jiayuguan? What are you going to Jiayuguan for?" Hu Zi asked hurriedly.
There was nothing to hide. "It was the man who went with you to our shop to sell herbs. He was shot by an arrow and it seemed to be quite serious. Someone came to ask my master to treat him. Your sister happened to be there, so we went together."
"Brother Gu Yin?"
Brother Gu Yin has been gone for a long time, and Hu Zi didn't expect that he would still hear news about him.
Knowing that his sister was fine and had not abandoned him, Hu Zi felt relieved. "How did Brother Gu Yin get hurt? How long will it take for my sister to come back?"
"I don't know how he got hurt, but the one who came to ask for my master's help was a soldier, so I guess he was also injured on the battlefield. How long will it take for him to come back? I don't know that either.
But don't worry, I promised your sister that I will stay in your house during this period to keep you company. My master has also arranged for people to protect us, so it's okay."
Hu Zi didn't get the answer he wanted to hear, so he lowered his head in disappointment and said, "Okay."
Jiayuguan, military camp.
Zhang Hao, who had gone ahead, was already waiting for them at the gate of the camp. Upon seeing the carriage approaching, he immediately ordered the guards to form a square, and the carriage passed smoothly all the way to stop in front of Gu Jingzhi's tent.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Li Xi couldn't wait to jump off the carriage and rubbed her butt in an ungraceful manner.
The roads in ancient times were too difficult to travel on, and the same was true for the horse-drawn carriage. There was no shock absorption, and I almost got shaken to death along the way.
Li Xi glared at the soldiers driving the car. He knew they were in a hurry to save people, but they were not afraid of their rush. They were shaken to death before they even reached Jiayuguan. After all, among them was the old man Doctor Wu, who was really inconsiderate.
"Let's go." Doctor Wu got off the carriage, straightened his sleeves and strode towards the tent.
Li Xi looked at his brisk steps and blinked. Uh, I was too hasty. Doctor Wu is not ordinary.
Li Xi was young and small in stature, so everyone thought she was Dr. Wu's new apprentice. Except for being a little surprised that Dr. Wu actually accepted a female apprentice, no one else thought of her.
Those who could guard outside Gu Jingzhi's tent were all Gu family's confidants. All they were thinking about now was the seriously injured young master lying in the tent. When they saw Li Xi, they just thought she came with Doctor Wu.
Zhang Hao vaguely guessed that the relationship between this girl and the young master was unusual, but the most important thing now was to save the young master, and he had no time to think about other things.
Li Xi, who had regained his thoughts, also followed him into the big tent.
There were not many people in the big tent. Apart from Gu Jingzhi, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, there were only two people, a calm middle-aged man and a man with red eyes. The man looked about the same age as Gu Yin.
The middle-aged man looked somewhat similar to Gu Jingzhi on the bed. Li Xi guessed that they were probably father and son.
"I, Wu Changqing, greet the general."
Gu Changfeng reached out to help him, a rare hint of vulnerability on his resolute face, "Old Wu, what are you doing? Now is not the time to be particular about this. Go and look at Jingzhi."
Doctor Wu didn't hesitate to walk to the bedside, sat down, and began to check Gu Jingzhi's wound.
Li Xi, who had just come in, raised her eyebrows when she heard Doctor Wu addressing Gu Changfeng, and glanced at Gu Jingzhi lying on the bed. She had guessed that his identity was not ordinary, but she didn't expect that he was the son of the general.
When Doctor Wu saw the wound on Gu Jingzhi’s chest, his face darkened. The situation was as bad as he had imagined.
The arrow head was completely embedded in the flesh. The arrow shaft had been processed and only three inches were left exposed. A thick layer of hemostatic medicine was applied to the wound.
But because of the special nature of the Soul-Hunting Sword, the wound was still bleeding slowly.
"The military doctor has come to see us." Gu Changfeng paused, "They said there's nothing they can do."
The red-eyed man looked at Doctor Wu as if he were a savior, "Doctor Wu, you must save the young master. It's all my fault. If it weren't for saving me, the young master wouldn't have been injured."
The man who was speaking was Shi Hanshuo, the captain of the small team that was captured by the Huns before, and also Gu Jingzhi's confidant. His father was the steward of the Gu family. He had been Gu Jingzhi's study companion since he was a child, and later it was natural for him to follow Gu Jingzhi into the army.
Shi Hanshuo felt extremely remorseful as he looked at the young master lying unconscious on the bed. It was all his fault. If he hadn't underestimated the enemy, he wouldn't have fallen into the Huns' trap, and the young master wouldn't have come to save him, and he wouldn't have been so seriously injured and in critical condition while trying to save him.
Gu Changfeng patted his shoulder and said, "Han Shuo, you don't have to blame yourself so much. This is all a trap set by the Xiongnu. They are here just for Jing Zhi."
Shi Hanshuo shook his head and looked at Doctor Wu stubbornly. Doctor Wu sighed and shook his head. The wound was too tricky and he was only 20% sure of success.
Seeing Doctor Wu shaking his head, Gu Changfeng's mind suddenly went blank, his feet felt weak, and he staggered.
Shi Hanshuo found it even harder to accept. He glanced at the young master lying on the bed, whose face was pale due to excessive blood loss and whose weak breathing he heard, and he knelt down in front of Doctor Wu.
"Doctor Wu, please save the young master, please! Please!"
Shi Hanshuo kowtowed heavily while crying, and after a few kowtows his forehead turned purple.
Zhang Hao also stood there with a painful look on his face. It was all his fault. If he had been faster at that time, the young master would not have been injured.
"Young friend Li Xi, come here." Doctor Wu turned his head and looked at Li Xi.
Hearing Doctor Wu's voice, the others in the room paused, then turned their eyes to Li Xi.
Only then did Gu Changfeng and the red-eyed man notice that there was another person in the big tent, a young girl.
When Zhang Hao heard this, he also looked at Li Xi.
They all knew that in this kind of situation, Doctor Wu would not do anything useless, not to mention that not everyone was worthy of being called a friend by Doctor Wu.
Shi Hanshuo looked at Li Xi expectantly. He no longer cared about questioning Li Xi's age. He was like a drowning man who wanted to grab every life-saving straw.
Li Xi ignored their scrutinizing looks, stepped forward, glanced at the wound on Gu Jingzhi's left chest, and then looked at his pale face.
"It can be saved, but it requires tools."
Unlike Doctor Wu, Li Xi, who had undergone heart surgery, knew that although the position of the arrow looked dangerous, it was actually some distance away from the heart, otherwise he would not have waited for them to arrive.
"Miss, if you need any tools, I'll have someone prepare them right away."
Gu Jingzhi is Gu Changfeng's only son, so how could he not be nervous? But his status is there, so even if everyone is in chaos, he cannot be in chaos.
Jingzhi was injured intentionally by the Huns. They must be hiding in the dark now, waiting for him to make a mistake. The more this happens, the more he has to stay calm.
"I need a sharp dagger, a jar of strong liquor, a needle and thread, a handkerchief," Li Xi paused, "and hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs."
Gu Changfeng: "There are hemostatic drugs in the barracks. What are anti-inflammatory drugs?"
"I have already given the anti-inflammatory drugs and prescriptions to Gu Yin and Gu Jingzhi. Didn't he take them out?" Li Xi was puzzled.
"Prescription?" Gu Changfeng's pupils dilated. "Are you the pharmaceutical genius that Jing Zhi mentioned?"
Pharmaceutical wizard?
Li Xi nodded cheekily.
"I have some anti-inflammatory medicine here." Doctor Wu took out an oil-paper bag from his chest, which contained three anti-inflammatory Chinese patent medicines.
These were the ones Li Xi gave him today. He subconsciously installed them when he left. Fortunately, he installed them, as they came in handy now.
With the title of developer of hemostatic drug, Gu Changfeng and others trusted Li Xi more and quickly prepared what she wanted.
Li Xi poured the liquor into two basins, threaded the needle and thread, and soaked the dagger and handkerchief in one basin, then said to Gu Changfeng and the others, "I'm going to perform surgery, you guys go out first.
Too many people affect my operation.”
Although she was experienced and confident, open-heart surgery required precision. What if they got scared and screamed, affecting her?
Besides, there is no sterile environment now and bacteria are everywhere. The fewer people here, the better, so as to avoid infecting Gu Jingzhi.
Gu Changfeng glanced at Gu Jingzhi, turned around and left without saying anything. Shi Hanshuo wanted to stay, but was rejected by Li Xi. Just kidding, he looked the most unstable among the people present.
In the end, Shi Hanshuo was dragged away by Zhang Hao.
"Young friend Li Xi, do you need me to stay and assist you?" Doctor Wu asked.
He was worried that the "operation" that Li Xi was going to perform was a secret method that was not passed on, so he did not strongly ask her to stay, fearing that she would think he was trying to steal her skills. But he was also worried that she needed help, so he asked.
"Doctor Wu, even if you didn't tell me, I would still ask for your help."
Open-chest surgery is a major surgery in modern times, let alone in ancient times when everything was lacking. She would be at a loss without an assistant.
Gu Jingzhi was forced to drink a bowl of Ma Fei San and lay unconscious on the bed.
Li Xi rolled up her sleeves, revealing her smooth arms, and washed and disinfected her hands with strong liquor in an empty basin. Not only her hands were disinfected, but also her arms.
"Doctor Wu, follow my example and disinfect your hands and arms."
After Li Xi finished speaking, he picked up the dagger in the basin and walked to Gu Jingzhi's window. The clothes on his chest had been taken off.
"Give me the handkerchief."
As soon as Li Xi finished speaking, Doctor Wu, who had already finished disinfecting, handed Li Xi a handkerchief soaked in strong liquor.
Li Xi held the dagger in one hand and used a handkerchief to wipe the hemostatic medicine and blood stains on Gu Jingzhi's wound with the other hand. After wiping, she raised the handkerchief and Doctor Wu took it.
She pointed at the position, held the dagger and slashed steadily, cutting the wound open bit by bit.
The dagger prepared by Gu Changfeng was a good knife that could cut through iron like mud. It was extremely smooth when cutting, and blood flowed out as the knife passed. Li Xi did not dare to delay. He cut open the last bit of flesh wrapped around the hook of the arrow and pulled out the arrowhead without hesitation.
The moment it was pulled out, blood splashed all over Li Xi's body and face.
Li Xi didn't have time to wipe it, "Needle and thread!"
Doctor Wu hurriedly handed her the needle and thread. Li Xi took the needle and thread and immediately began to suture the wound.
Doctor Wu, who was assisting at the side, had not yet recovered from Li Xi's skillful operation when he saw her sewing up the wound like sewing clothes.
"My dear Li Xi, what is this?" Before he could finish his words, Doctor Wu closed his mouth as he looked at Li Xi who was frowning and getting stitches. He couldn't disturb her at this time.
Li Xi was so focused that she didn't hear what Doctor Wu said at all. This needle was just an ordinary needle, and naturally not as easy to use as a surgical suture needle. Li Xi gritted her teeth and sewed him up. While sewing, she thought that she must make a set of surgical tools for herself later. This one was too difficult to use.
After the wound was stitched, Li Xi opened his hands, "Anti-inflammatory medicine! Hemostatic medicine!"
Doctor Wu handed over anti-inflammatory and hemostatic drugs.
She crushed an anti-inflammatory Chinese medicine pill with her hands and applied it evenly to the sutured area on her chest, and then applied a layer of hemostatic medicine.
Not long after the hemostatic drug was applied, the wound gradually stopped bleeding. Seeing that the bleeding had stopped, Li Xi sprinkled the remaining anti-inflammatory Chinese patent medicine powder on the wound.
Then he stood up and washed the blood off his hands with strong liquor, took the handkerchief from Doctor Wu who was standing there in a daze, wiped the blood around Gu Jingzhi's wound, then opened his mouth and fed him an anti-inflammatory pill.
After prying open his eyes and taking a look, Li Xi found that his breathing was steady. He heaved a sigh of relief, and the operation was considered a success.
She stood up and threw the bloodstained handkerchief into the wine basin, then clapped her hands, "Okay, the rest depends on time."
Upon seeing this, Doctor Wu walked to the bedside, took his hand and felt his pulse, then looked at Li Xi in surprise. He didn't know how many tricks his young friend had. A man who had just been seriously injured was now just weak in qi and blood.
The highly concentrated operation drained Li Xi's strength. She sat on a stool, picked up the cup and drank three cups of tea before speaking, "No one is allowed to visit within twelve hours."
Doctor Wu looked at Li Xi with complicated eyes and said, "Okay, I'll tell them right away."
