Practicing Medicine in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 91 The Uninvited Guest

Qin Er pinched Lady Qin's mouth, and poured down the anesthetic decoction spoonful by spoonful.

Lady Qin's hand waved wildly in the air a few times at first, and soon she put it down softly, her whole body was like a piece of cotton, so soft that she didn't touch any strength.

"Go out and wait." Wu Yi closed the doors and windows, drew the curtains, and isolated a crude operating room.

When Qin Er reluctantly opened the curtain and left, the emergency rescue operation officially started.

In this era, of course, there is no advanced anesthesia monitoring system, so Xu Jie is always on the pulse of Mrs. Qin, while Wu Yi is in charge of the operation.

There is no convenient and minimally invasive LEEP knife[1], nor a laparoscope with a clear field of view. Everything can only return to the most basic surgical operation, and it also tests the experience and skills of the surgeon.

Wu Yi calmly held the gleaming silver lancet in his hand, and followed the steps in his memory step by step in an orderly manner. After the laparotomy, he exposed the uterus, explored the surrounding area slightly, and ligated the blood vessels, ligaments and uterine appendages one by one...

All the operations have been practiced hundreds of times, and they have long been engraved in the mind. Even if the hands are a little rough, they can be done smoothly and smoothly, without any flaws.

Even Xu Jie was a little dumbfounded.

He only knew that Wu Yi graduated from internal medicine, but he didn't expect that he was also proficient in surgery. Judging by the refinement of his techniques, even Dr. Li Boting was inferior, let alone himself, a pure medical officer of internal medicine.

After Wu Yi quickly dealt with the stumps above and below, his eyes flashed, and he decisively swung the knife to cut off the entire uterus.

Finally, he went back the same way and closed his abdomen for stitches.

After completing this series of skilled operations, Xu Jiecai will withdraw his surprised eyes, put his attention back under his fingertips, and slowly said: "Although the pulse is weak and fast, it has recovered a little compared to before. It seems The bleeding has stopped."

Only then did Wu Yi let out a long breath. Lady Qin's life was saved, and she would never be able to bear children in the future.

Opening the curtain, I saw Qin Er's worried face.

Seeing that the two of them had let go of their seriousness before, and there was a slight sense of relief in their eyes, Qin Er knew that it must be done, and hurriedly asked his servants to bring money as a reward.

Xu Jie said coldly: "No need, it is our duty to cure the sick and save the sick. We have the salary issued by the imperial court to feed us, so there is no need to add your money."

Only then did Wu Yi know why the small courtyard they lived in was so dilapidated, and his colleague could be regarded as a clean-fingered and clean-looking colleague.

Seeing Xu Jie's insistence on not wanting it, Qin Er turned to Wu Yi again: "Mr. has also suffered from hard work, so please don't refuse. If you don't accept, my wife will wake up and grab my ears."

While talking, he subconsciously touched his ear, as if he had been slapped in the mouth, and even the root of his ear was red and hot.

Wu Yi was not as polite as Xu Jie, he accepted a silver ingot brought by his servant without hesitation.

Xu Jie's appreciative gaze just now turned cold: "Sir, you are also paid by the court, so how can you collect bribes in private?"

Wu Yi asked him back: "Mister, how much money do you owe him for buying a dog?"

Xu Jie was speechless for a moment.

Wu Yi had already seen that he was short of cash, but relying on the reputation he had earned in Yuzhou for more than ten years, he had paid on credit. If he really relied on his annual salary to pay back, he didn't know that it would be the year of the monkey.

Doing scientific research takes time, effort, and money.

Seeing that Xu Jie was speechless, Wu Yicai continued to persuade: "We accept Qin Erye's money so that we can continue to develop more prescriptions, which will save more lives. Besides, If you meet poor people who can't afford the money for medicine, you can also make up for them, and this can be regarded as doing good deeds for Qin Er Ye, don't you think so, Er Ye?"

Seeing that he was speaking clearly and logically, Qin Er nodded quickly: "You two saved my wife's life, and you are the great benefactors of our Qin family. decline."

Only then did Xu Jie reluctantly nod his head: "But let's say it first, this money can only be used for public use, and it must not be used privately."

Wu Yi: "Naturally."

While speaking, several moments had passed, Wu Yi and Xu Jiecai turned back to the curtain again, and pinched Mrs. Qin fiercely, and heard "Ouch", followed by a weak curse.

"Which time cut off the head!"

He still has the strength to curse people, which shows that he has turned the corner.

Wu Yi and Xu Jie couldn't help but smile at each other, it seemed that this recipe was done.

The two of them toiled all day, and when Mrs. Qin came to her senses, she really felt relieved. After telling Qin Er what to pay attention to in the future, she took the few taels of silver that Qin Er Baba brought up, and ran back there in the carriage. The dilapidated small courtyard.

-

Yuzhou City not only has smooth waterways, but also the ear reports spread very quickly. In just a few days, the story of Wu Yi and Xu Jie opening their stomachs to save lives has spread all over the streets and alleys.

Almost everyone knows that these two sages now have an amazing prescription in their hands, they can directly put people down, open your stomach in a dream, and there will be no pain at all.

"Fang Zi is finished, what should I call it?" Wu Yi couldn't help muttering to himself.

"An anesthetized person is like an intoxicated person. People and things are unclear, and everything is unknown. In my opinion, anesthesia powder is just right." Xu Jie said, "It is better to write this prescription to the Imperial Medical Office as soon as possible, so that it can be known to the world and used by all people."

The two were discussing the matter of writing to the Imperial Medical Office, when they heard footsteps like a gust of wind and rain outside, before they got up from their seats, a group of uninvited guests broke into the door.

Wu Yi looked up and saw that the leader was a middle-aged man with small eyes and a big beard, with the word "Yu" tattooed on his cheekbone in blue, obviously he was a fugitive with a seal.

Followed by a group of half-sized gangsters, just like modern gangsters who like to dye their hair yellow and perm them. These gangsters are also tied with colorful headscarves, surrounded by uneven heights, holding knives, guns and sticks in their hands , a posture ready to fight and kill at any time.

"Who are you?!" Xu Jie was furious.

Wu Yi couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart, isn't the answer to this question clear?There is no village in front of this place, no shop in the back, and this group of people are all vicious and armed with weapons. It is impossible for them to travel and ask for directions, right?

"It doesn't matter who we are, are you two Mr. Wu and Mr. Xu?" The bearded man spoke politely.

Xu Jie was also straightforward, and nodded frankly: "So what?"

As soon as the words fell, before Wu Yi could react, he felt someone push him hard from behind, and he fell to the ground unexpectedly. Three or four people rushed up and tied his hands and feet skillfully and arbitrarily, from neck to neck. The legs were wrapped into rice dumplings and thrown aside.

Wu Yi couldn't help but slander, even if you want to catch a strong man, you don't have to be so anxious to get angry, don't you talk about rules and procedures?

Looking to the side, Xu Jie's treatment is not as strong as his, but he still scratched his neck and said angrily: "You guys have the courage to kidnap court officials!"

The bearded man spat on the ground with disdain: "Old man Li, we have all tied up, but you can't do it anymore?"

It was only then that Xu Jie realized that this group of people was the Xiao family army who were said by the common people to be lawless, violent and reckless.

Maybe because they didn't want to listen to his scolding, they quickly and roughly stuffed a few balls of rags into their mouths, and tied their bodies even tighter. They could only look like two small fish in a marsh, twisting their necks and trying to use their eyes. comminicate.

Wu Yi winked at Xu Jie, meaning to tell him not to be impulsive and to save his life.

Xu Jie raised his brows and eyes like a sword, showing a cold disdain. If he hadn't been gagged, he would have opened his mouth to curse.

Wu Yi could only sigh from the bottom of his heart. He didn't have Xu Jie's character of defying power and being willing to sacrifice. He only hoped that his life would not fall into the hands of these brats.

"Okay, call it a day and go back to the village!"

The bearded man waved his hands in satisfaction, one in each hand, and threw the two tightly wrapped people onto the bullock cart waiting outside.He climbed onto the ox's back by himself and flicked his whip twice, and the old ox carried the early harvest of the bandits and ran joltingly.

The kidnappers in ancient times probably weren't very anti-police conscious, and they didn't cover their eyes along the way. Wu Yi tried his best to turn his head to the other side, carefully remembering the path leading to the thief's den. .

It's a pity that the mountain road made many bends and turns, and within half a stick of incense, he already felt a surge of stomach gas in his stomach, and gusts of sour water went straight to his throat.

Fortunately, the ox cart stopped before he spit it into his mouth.

The bearded man carried one in each hand, and put the two of them firmly at the door.

Wu Yi reluctantly raised his head and looked around. This place is not considered a deep mountain forest, at most it is a big dam in the middle of the mountain.

Dozens of logs several feet high stand on the left and right of the lavish gate, tied with brightly colored red cloth, reflecting the tall wooden buildings rising from the ground one after another inside.

With a short glance, he found that these magnificent buildings did not have the rough and unrestrained style in this rural corner at all. The wooden buildings among the mountains were scattered and lined up in order, strictly imitating the elegant style of entering and leaving palaces in the imperial city. The structure is almost a wooden version of the Little Palace.

It seems that these Maozi's ambitions are not small.

These Maozi are so proficient in kidnapping people, they must not be dragged back to collect their bodies, so Wu Yi will not worry about their lives for a while.

Both of them were dressed poor and white, let alone kidnapping them to extort money.

So the biggest possibility is to force people to join.

With the head under the knife, who would dare not bend over?

The problem is, these guys are full of food, so they have to recruit two young doctors into the group?

Wu Yi thought silently in his heart, could it be that Xiao Yuexian's old lady Xiao's condition had changed again, so she started recruiting new doctors to see a doctor and prescribe prescriptions for her?

Before he could figure out what to do, the young men swarmed up grabbed their collars and led them into an independent wooden building inside the door with half a push and half a lift.
