Before long, the operating room was ready.
Elder Ji and the apprentices from Ji Ren Tang all stared at Consort Qin, their eyes wide with anticipation, even they were sweating nervously.
After all, this was the first time they had witnessed an abdominal surgery. If it succeeded, patients with severe internal injuries would have a chance at survival instead of waiting for death.
Elder Ji had practiced medicine for many years and was quite different from most doctors of this era; he was very open-minded. He had taken in many apprentices throughout his life, and each one was taught with great care, never holding back any knowledge.
He treated his daughter no differently. His daughter had a talent for medicine and had been by his side for guidance until she grew up and got married. Until then, she was Elder Ji's capable assistant. However, once a woman married, especially to a distant place, returning to her family became extremely difficult. Elder Ji had not seen his daughter in over forty years. As for Qin Yaru, he likely projected his feelings onto her, treating her as if she were his own daughter. At this moment, seeing her about to perform Hua Tuo's miraculous technique to save someone made him even more anxious than if he were the one performing the surgery.
"A Qin, take a look. Is this okay?"
Qin Yaru put on a linen gown, mask, and gloves while looking around. She truly felt uncertain; she had never set up an operating room by herself before. The conditions were inadequate; she could neither achieve complete sealing nor thorough sterilization. She could only make do with what she had, which was still better than performing surgery in a field hospital.
"Elder Ji, please keep an eye on things and let Meng Ge and Su Tu come over to observe."
As Elder Ji grew older, he became more childlike and less concerned with hierarchy. He readily agreed and turned to instruct his two disciples: "You two should learn well from A Qin."
Meng Ge and Su Tu were both favored disciples of his, especially Su Tu, who was his most trusted student. Now managing Ji Ren Tang alongside his son, unlike his son, these two still had some distinction. However, Elder Ji had taken them in when he was already quite old and felt that he lacked the energy to teach them properly. He often lamented that he had delayed the training of two promising medical students.
The two disciples' faces flushed with excitement but also a bit of embarrassment as they thanked Qin Yaru in unison. Qin Yaru couldn't afford to spend too much time with them; she instructed the four strong men to help carry Zhan Yu into the operating room.
At this point, Zhan Yu had already fallen into shock. It was Elder Ji who prescribed a decoction to combat shock that improved his condition somewhat.
Qin Yaru meticulously disinfected everything before starting the surgery. Currently, she had no assistants; everything had to be done by herself. Fortunately, Qin Young Lady was used to working independently and could handle nursing tasks as well; it just meant that the surgery might take longer than usual.
As soon as the abdominal cavity was opened, blood gushed out. Qin Yaru calmly suctioned away the blood.
Qin Yaru felt no different; she focused intently on performing the surgery as she always did without realizing how much impact her actions were having on the people of this era.
Elder Ji was somewhat accustomed to it; he had seen renowned doctors perform surgeries before and even operated himself when he was younger. However, watching A Qin—a girl—performing surgery without even trembling as she reached into the patient's abdomen to manipulate tissues and sew up wounds like mending clothes was quite unsettling for him. Yet he forced himself to stand by and observe.
But at the moment the fresh blood gushed out from the patient's abdomen, his two disciples turned pale. When Qin Yaru began the surgery, they leaned against the door and vomited.
Qin Yaru's speed was quite fast, but without an assistant and with the patient losing too much blood, blood pressure dropped halfway through the surgery, necessitating a blood transfusion.
Fortunately, she had anticipated this situation from the beginning and was well-prepared. She immediately had Bai Yunsheng disinfected and laid on another operating table.
Blood flowed through the rubber tube into Zhan Yu's body, and his heartbeat gradually stabilized.
Only then did Qin Yaru breathe a sigh of relief and continue with the surgery.
Zhan Yu had no idea who had injured him; both his spleen and stomach had multiple wounds, especially the stomach, which was at least half necrotic. Qin Yaru was also surprised; she hadn't expected the situation to be this severe. It was remarkable that Zhan Yu had managed to endure it. Remembering that he had vomited blood last time, she realized he must have been seriously injured then as well but had just been holding on.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head. This patient was too stubborn; it made her job as a doctor difficult. If he had received treatment earlier, his condition might have been much better than it was now.
What she didn't know was that her seemingly random head shake frightened a group of people peering in through the window screen outside, causing them to break out in a cold sweat.
Qin Yaru didn't have time to guess what those people were thinking; she meticulously sutured all the wounds and removed a large portion of the stomach.
A big chunk of dirty matter was thrown onto a tray, making Elder Ji feel a surge of fear. He felt weak in his legs and kept chanting Amitabha Buddha, worried that Qin Yaru's surgery would fail and the patient would die on the operating table.
While even a divine doctor couldn't guarantee that every patient would survive, Zhan Yu's identity was clearly special—he was an official. If he died during treatment, those four rough men outside might do something reckless. At that moment, Bai Yunsheng was still lying on the bed after losing so much blood; she feared he might not be able to save A Qin!
Fortunately, the situation did not develop into something more dangerous. After completing the surgery, Zhan Yu's heartbeat remained steady and strong.
Qin Yaru felt relieved as she sutured the wounds and then instructed Elder Ji to apply ointment before stepping out. As soon as she opened the door, she saw those four big men squatting at the entrance like statues, their faces filled with anxiety.
As soon as they saw Qin Yaru come out, they rushed over in unison, trembling as they asked urgently, "Wife, how... how is it? How is Commander Zhan?"
"Very successful. If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be any major issues."
Qin Yaru washed her hands clean and stopped these four men who were both crying and laughing from rushing inside: "Don't go in and disturb him. Just wait here at the door. Prepare some rice soup or noodle soup for him to drink once he wakes up."
"Exhaust?"
One of the Zhou Man looked confused.
Qin Yaru frowned, her face slightly flushed. She coughed and whispered, "It means... to fart."
The man was taken aback, and his not-so-fair face turned bright red.
Qin Yaru lowered her head, pretending not to see, and turned to leave. Suddenly remembering something, she said, "I'll prepare a medicinal dish later for the kitchen to make. Although it doesn't taste very good, it still needs to be eaten."
The man surnamed Zhou nodded repeatedly. "Consort Qin, don't worry. I'll go to Yan Yue Tower to invite Chef Min. I've heard he is quite skilled at making medicinal dishes. Our Zhan Commander can be a bit picky, so it needs to be done well."
Qin Yaru took a deep breath. "It's not for the Zhan Commander; it's a medicinal dish to replenish blood for Bai Yunsheng."
"Oh... then let Sister Song from Ji Ren Tang make it casually."
Qin Yaru was amused yet helpless and ignored him. She hurriedly changed her clothes. Zhan Yu had just finished surgery and needed treatment for infection; she couldn't leave for the time being. Worried about Da Lang, she could only write a letter asking Lai San to help deliver it, letting Tie Zhu and Wang take care of things temporarily.
