Chu Yue, Han Shi and his group were lucky. They managed to reach their destination just as heavy rain began to fall.

Xie Daniu held the donkey cart that was agitated by the rain, and Han Shi helped to carry Lu Yuanbao off the cart, and reminded him, "Doctor Chu, the rain is getting heavy, hurry up and get inside."

After Chu Yue got off the donkey cart, she walked quickly into the house.

Although it was only a few steps, I was still soaked by the rain and quickly shook off the water droplets on my body.

She looked at Lu Yuanbao worriedly.

Lu Yuanbao was also wetted by the rain, but he was not unhappy and was still smiling.

As long as I can be with my mother, I am happy even in the rain.

After entering the house, it was Xie Daniu's wife Xia Sui who came out to greet them.

Xia Sui's reaction when she saw Chu Yue was exactly the same as Jie Daniu's, "...This is Doctor Chu, how come he is so young?"

In fact, before looking for Chu Yue, Han Shi had already talked to Jie Daniu and his wife, saying that Doctor Chu was a young girl. However, no matter how Jie Daniu and Xia Sui thought about it, they estimated that she should be in her thirties. They did not expect Chu Yue to be so fair and tender.

Will this... be reliable?

Xia Sui is a woman, and women are more careful than men. She had doubts in her heart but did not show them. Instead, she looked at Lu Yuanbao.

"You brought a child with you? The child is so handsome. He must have been caught in the rain. Hurry up and wipe him with a towel. Don't catch a cold." Xia Sui hurried to take care of Lu Yuanbao.

Chu Yue also gave Lu Yuanbao some instructions, asking him to stay in the house and listen to Xia Sui if anything happened.

Then Chu Yue looked at Han Shi and Jie Daniu.

“Where’s the patient?” she asked.

After hearing this, Shitou looked embarrassed and Jie Daniu also felt embarrassed. It seemed that these two people were hiding something and not telling the truth.

In the end, it was Han Shi who took the initiative to speak, "Doctor Chu, I'm sorry, it's not a person who is sick, but——"

sheep.

The sheep shed is next to Jie Daniu's residence. It is not small, about 40 square meters, and there is a pile of straw and three ewes in it.

Xie Daniu and Han Shi did not intend to deceive Chu Yue, but they heard that Chu Yue was now a military doctor with an extraordinary status. They could not afford a high price, so they wanted to trouble Chu Yue to come and see the sheep, but they were afraid that Chu Yue would not agree.

Xie Daniu apologized sincerely, "Doctor Chu, I'm sorry, this is not a fair thing for us to do. These three sheep are too important to our family. My brother wants them as a gift for his wedding, and one of them is pregnant and has a lamb in her belly.

I went to the vet, but they said they couldn't cure it and I could only watch them die. But our family really needed these three sheep.

I had almost given up, but Han Shi told me that Doctor Chu had delivered a cow in their village, so I thought I'd give it one more try. Please, Doctor Chu, please take a look."

Han Shi chimed in, "Doctor Chu, I came up with this idea. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I'll go back to your house and apologize. Xie Daniu's parents just passed away two years ago, and he has three younger brothers and sisters. It's really not easy for him to support them all by himself."

In those days, villagers lived a difficult life and had no ability to resist risks. Sometimes a chicken, a duck, a sheep, or any accident could become a huge rock that crushed them.

Chu Yue frowned and said, "If you had told me the truth at the beginning, I would have agreed to help."

When Xie Daniu and Han Shi heard this, they felt ashamed.

They are two grown men, but they judge others by their own standards.

Especially the look Chu Yue gave them made the two burly men unable to raise their heads.

Chu Yue gave the two men a warning and then turned to look at the three sheep.

All three sheep are ewes, two of them are smaller and one is bigger.

The bigger one had a bulging belly, and that was the one that was pregnant with the lamb.

The three sheep were obviously not in good condition. They looked dejected, with their heads lowered very low and their necks stretched crookedly.

They moved around in the sheep shed, but not in a straight line or rushing around. Instead, they stretched their necks and walked in circles.

Round and round... round and round...

To describe it in human terms, it's like being demented, walking in circles around a wooden stake with his head tilted.

This is a typical stereotyped reaction.

Chu Yue had medical knowledge in this area, and she came to a conclusion after just one glance.

She said, "It's hydatid cyst."

"What kind of bug?"

Neither Xie Daniu nor Han Shi had ever heard of such a professional term.

Chu Yue explained in the simplest words.

"These three sheep had parasites in their brains - a kind of worm. The worm ate the cerebral fluid in the sheep's brain, gradually grew bigger, and then ate the ewes' brains, affecting the ewes' brain nerves."

It is because of the problem with the brain nerves that the three ewes keep turning in circles.

Xie Daniu suddenly became excited and said, "I remember now. The veterinarian before also said that there was something wrong with the sheep's brain, but he couldn't explain what the problem was. Doctor Chu explained it clearly."

"Daniu, you believe in Doctor Chu's ability now, right? He knows everything after just one look." Han Shi praised Chu Yue, and then asked on behalf of Jie Daniu, "Doctor Chu, can it be cured?"

Chu Yue said, "It can be cured, but it depends on whether you can bear the risk. Because it requires a craniotomy."

"Open... open... open the skull... Doctor Chu, you mean to open the sheep's brain and get the worms out."

"You're right, that's it."

How to treat hydatid cyst in brain can be simply summarized in three steps.

Open your brain first, find the bug, then close your brain.

It sounds simple, but that's the brain! That's the brain!

This is ridiculous... It's really ridiculous...

Hua Tuo also wanted to perform such an operation on Cao Cao. Everyone knows what happened to Hua Tuo in the end. This shows how risky this operation is.

Chu Yue didn't say anything, just looked at Jie Daniu. The decision was in his hands.

Jie Daniu is a man who understands reason and has courage.

He said, "It's going to end in death anyway, so why not give it a try? If we open the brain, maybe my sheep can survive. Doctor Chu, thank you for your help."

"Are you sure? Perform a craniotomy."

"Well, I've thought about it."

"Okay, I'll get ready."

The three of them left the sheep shed and returned to the house next door.

Xia Sui roasted some potatoes and gave them to Lu Yuanbao. She also used the remaining white sugar in the house to make two cups of sugar, one for Lu Yuanbao and one for Chu Yue.

Sweet syrup, this is the highest standard of hospitality.

Chu Yue opened the medicine box and picked out some basic pliers, tweezers, a scalpel and alcohol gauze.

But that’s not enough.

She looked up at Jie Daniu and asked, "Do you have a pickaxe at home? Or a small hammer, either will do."

Pickaxe?!

Hammer?!

A craniotomy requires these things? !

Xie Daniu and Han Shi's hearts were pounding, and they stared at Chu Yue's calm appearance with wide eyes.

Finally, it was Xia Sui who reminded the two absent-minded men, "Go and get what Doctor Chu wants."
