388 Medical Valley recruits people again

The abbot's surgery started on time.

Sun Sicheng is now able to perform abdominal surgery, but today he still let Ping An perform the surgery.

He still had some emotional fluctuations towards the old abbot. For example, now, he was secretly worried that something bad might be cut out.

This is a big taboo for doctors during surgery, but he somewhat violated this taboo today.

Fortunately, there is peace.

Ping'an was making preparations in an orderly manner. Today's medical assistants were still Ruyi and Qingshi.

All four of them put on outer garments and masks.

The anesthetic had taken effect, and the abbot was only covered with a thin sheet. Ruyi pulled the sheet down to the abbot's hips, and Qingshi helped disinfect his entire abdomen.

"Master, I'm giving you the needle."

"Um."

After the injection was safely inserted, he decisively picked up the knife and chose a suitable incision. Considering that the lump was quite large, the incision was not small.

Sun Sicheng had calmed down by now and started to help.

"Master, this tumor looks good, but it is actually growing on the abdominal muscle wall. I have to peel it all off. Master, please help open the incision."

Sun Sicheng saw that the tumor was not small, but fortunately it was not in the stomach or liver.

"Master, this tumor is not small. There is another one next to it. No, two smaller ones. This tumor is multiple."

Ping'an stopped talking and focused on peeling the tumor.

It can be confirmed that what grew in the abbot's abdomen was an abdominal wall fibroma. Most of these tumors are benign, but their characteristic is that they have a high recurrence rate.

However, Ping An was not worried about this, considering that the abbot was already 73 years old this year, which was considered a long life in this dynasty. Even if the disease really recurred within a few years after the operation, it would take several years for the new tumor to grow. By that time, the abbot would be almost 80 years old.

An hour later, a large tumor was safely removed, and he spent some more time removing the two smaller ones next to it.

It was late June and the weather was already very hot. Fortunately, Tianguang Temple was halfway up the mountain and the abbot's courtyard was even cooler. Even so, Qingshi had already wet several towels for his master.

Ping An sewed up the inner wound, and the master took over the outer wound.

After Sun Sicheng finished sewing the last stitch, Ruyi and Qingshi were responsible for applying medicine and bandaging the wound. The knives and silver needles had to be disinfected and dried repeatedly, which was very troublesome.

Juexin, Jueming and a dozen other great monks were guarding under a big tree outside the courtyard.

As soon as Sun Sicheng and Ping An came out, Master Pujing took the lead and walked over.

The head monk of Tianguang Temple is of the Pu generation, and below him are the Jue generation, and below the Jue generation are the Hui generation. Ping'an doesn't know the origin of these generation rankings, but he knows that Pu Jing is the abbot's eldest disciple and will be the future abbot of Tianguang Temple.

"My Lord, I am safe. How is the abbot?"

Sun Sicheng said, "Ruyi, give the removed tumor to Master Pujing."

Ruyi presented the tray with both hands, and the little monk beside him immediately took it.

"Master Pu Jing, these are the things that were cut out from the abbot's abdomen, one large and two small. The abbot had a big operation this time, and he is old, so we will stay here for another seven or eight days until the stitches are removed before we go back."

Pu Jing clasped her hands together and said, "Thank you, Young Master, for being safe."

Sun Sicheng looked at Juexin and Jueming and said, "I told you the precautions after the operation two days ago. The abbot needs your careful care the most these days. If everything goes well in half a month, you can walk around slowly. After a month, you can walk slowly in the temple."

Juexin and Jueming both bowed and agreed readily.

They are brothers who were adopted by the abbot since they were young and have always been with him. Now they are both over 20 years old and have no plans to go down the mountain.

To them, the abbot is their relative. Since the abbot could be saved by the eldest son and Ping An, they are their benefactors.

They have memorized all the post-operative precautions by heart, so these are no big deal.

"Master Pujing, and other masters, you can go see the abbot, but you can't all go in at once, and you can't disturb him. Juexin, Jueming, the abbot is in your care. The rest of us need to go wash up and eat. I'll have someone bring the medicine over later."

"Yes, my Lord."

Ping'an's legs felt a little weak, and Lin Feng, who came over, carried him on his back. Ping'an didn't act pretentiously and lay calmly on his back.

Traveling long distances is too hard.

Today was another whole morning of surgery. I was too focused, so when I came out, didn't I feel extremely exhausted physically and mentally?

Wanli hurried forward to support his master.

"Wanli, I'm fine. Ping'an is the surgeon today. I'll write the prescription later. You go down the mountain to get the medicine yourself. The medicine here can only last for two days at most. And get some supplements for Ping'an. He must be exhausted on the way."

Wanli nodded.

Juexin and Jueming took very good care of the old abbot, and soon it was the fourth day after the operation.

Sun Sicheng went down the mountain early in the morning with Ping An, He Jin and others, while Wan Li stayed in the temple with a few others.

The stitches will be removed in three days, and he has to take Ping An to select some people.

"Ping An, today you can pick out what you need. Shopkeeper Wu has bought you a large farm here. You can still let them manage it. The farmer asked Fang Ming to pick out some from the grain, and if there is not enough, buy from the pawnshop.

Last year, we collected a total of 40,000 taels, and I didn't take a penny from you. I added more than 1,000 taels to your account, and I will make up the difference by the end of December this year.

He Jin bought three shops for you in Yingtian, spending nine thousand six, and received six hundred and fifty in rent, which means he spent a total of nine thousand.

This farm is big, and we spent twelve thousand, and we need to spend a little more, one thousand is required, so all together it is twenty-two thousand, what are you going to do with the extra eighteen thousand?"

"Master, why don't you let Uncle Wu keep it and buy a good farm or shop when you find one? It's hard work to take care of the farm. Master, you can just let the person who took the trouble to take some commission, otherwise I'll be embarrassed."

"Don't worry about this. I, your master, know what you have. Do you have enough money? How about I give you three thousand?"

Ping An laughed, "Master, have you forgotten the 10,000 taels from the chief? There are still 6,000 taels left. After spending the money I earned in Yingtian this time, I saved 1,000 taels.

There were also some pearls. I gave two of the best ones to the eldest lady, and gave two to the two mistresses and my mother when I got back. The rest were all given to Awu."

Sun Sicheng raised the corner of his lips and said, "You can give it to Awu, but you can also keep it with you and take it as a betrothal gift when you get married."

Ping An laughed out loud: "Master, can't I earn more? Don't women like these? There is also a small bag of slightly inferior ones. I have asked someone to mount this on a small piece of jewelry and will give it to the children as a gift when I return."

Sun Sicheng didn't let Ping An give it to Zhang Jinyu.

Zhang Jinyu’s performance before did not satisfy him, but he did not want to care about it for Jinping’s sake.

He didn't want to care about these etiquette things. He was already very experienced in handling things Ping An.

This time when we went to the valley, Ping An picked three boys who were about fifteen or sixteen years old, and five girls of similar age. They were all pretty, but not too beautiful, just pleasing to the eye.
