Li Sanniang, after enduring hardships, embarks on her medical journey again. Unexpectedly, a renowned handsome man in Chang'an wants to marry her as his bride! Li Sanniang thought she only need...
Chapter 313 Hope
Li San Niang's words were like a thunderclap out of nowhere. Apart from Li San Niang herself, everyone else in the room, from the person involved, Mr. Bu Ke, to the hunchbacked servant, and Qiu Xiang and Shi Jiu behind Li San Niang, were all astonished.
"Li San Niangzi, do you know what you're saying?"
He was always as silent as gold, and when he occasionally uttered a word or two, it was only in response to Mr. Impossible's hunchbacked servant. This was the first time he had spoken more than three words in a single sentence.
After Li San Niang finished her inspection, she stood up and looked at the hunchbacked servant with a hint of helplessness, then reached out and rubbed her ears, which had been shaken by the noise.
Having such keen senses is a good thing, but at the same time, because they are too keen, what is just a slightly loud noise to ordinary people is equivalent to a shout right next to Li San Niang's ear.
Nineteen and Qiu Xiang simply stood up in surprise, without saying a word.
Of all those present, the one with the best composure and who remained the most calm after hearing Li San Niang's words was Mr. Bu Ke, who was still sitting in his wheelchair.
Mr. Bu Ke knew that Li San Niang was a person with extraordinary five senses. Seeing Li San Niang's behavior, he knew that it was his hunchbacked servant's surprised question that had shocked Li San Niang's ears.
"Dapeng, you mustn't be rude."
The hunchbacked servant, Dapeng, realized that his voice was too loud.
Dapeng quickly lowered his head in agreement, but the burning gaze he gave Li Sanniang after raising his head made her feel that if that look could ignite a fire, she would probably be on fire right now.
"What do you mean by that, Third Sister?"
After Li San Niang sat down and poured herself and Mr. Bu Ke a cup of tea, she still did not respond to Mr. Bu Ke's words.
In fact, the moment those words left her mouth, Li San Niang regretted them.
The most painful thing in this world is not losing what you once had, but the pain of losing it, having hope again, and then losing it again.
After examining him just now, Li San Niang was indeed 70% confident that she could cure Mr. Bu Ke and help him stand up again.
But that has a prerequisite: firstly, this kind of surgery cannot be performed by Li San Niang alone; she needs an assistant.
Moreover, even if Li San Niang dared to take action, she had rotated through various departments before becoming an obstetrician and gynecologist. Although she had only experienced two cases of this kind of situation, she was still quite experienced.
The problem is, even if a doctor could be trained in the Department of Surgery at this time, which could help Li San Niang, could Mr. Bu Ke really withstand the subsequent infection?
If you spread it out like this, the chance of success is only about 50%.
While others didn't notice, Li San Niang could tell that Mr. Bu Ke was also very excited. Otherwise, why wouldn't Mr. Bu Ke's trembling hand have picked up the teacup after Li San Niang pushed it over?
"Sir, I was too talkative."
If everything is prepared, I'm only fifty percent confident I can get Mr. [Sir] back on his feet.
Li Sanniang watched as Mr. Ke gripped his teacup, trying to calm himself, and said, "Besides, if we fail, you might..."
"So what if it's death? Haha, what have I ever feared? Haha!"
"gentlemen!"
The three shouts from Dapeng, Shijiu, and Qiuxiang did not stop Mr. Bu Ke's laughter.
"I never thought that Third Sister's medical skills were so amazing. It was my fault. I always thought that Third Sister had a knack for treating my daughter's illness, but I overlooked Third Sister's skills in treating ulcers."
Earlier, the Emperor consulted many orthopedic specialists from the Imperial Medical Bureau. Apart from Dr. Liang, who said there was a 10% chance I could stand up temporarily, everyone else said it was impossible.
Mr. Ke put down his teacup and pounded his thighs with both hands. He felt pain, but that was all he felt. He couldn't stand up, so he was a cripple and a useless person!
For the first time, Li Sanniang saw a look of madness and pain on Mr. Bu Ke's face. "Sir!" As soon as Li Sanniang uttered these words, Da Peng stepped forward from behind and grabbed Mr. Bu Ke's hand.
"Sir! Sir!"
The arrival of Nineteen and Qiu Xiang, who called out to him, seemed to awaken Mr. Impossible's rationality.
A few breaths later, Mr. Impossible transformed back into a handsome young man.
"Third Sister, are you truly fifty percent certain?"
Li San Niang nodded in agreement without the slightest hesitation. She also understood why even the most skilled physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau dared not treat Mr. Bu Ke's condition.
The main reason is that none of them used any cheat codes. They have X-ray vision, which allows them to precisely remove bone fragments and overgrown tissue, accurately break off irregularities, and correct them.
The reason why Dr. Liang could say he was 10% confident was because of his golden needle technique.
Now that Li San Niang has learned the Golden Needle Technique and has the added advantage of X-ray vision, she naturally dares to say that she has a 50% chance of success.
"Sir, I dare to nod, but I don't mean that I can make you stand up and get better right away."
I also need to prepare a lot of prerequisites; it might take a year, three years, or even five years.
"Please tell me, Third Sister."
"The surgical instruments are easy to make; we can just ask a master craftsman to make them. We've also produced the alcohol. Although it doesn't reach the concentration I want, if we rely on the old-fashioned method, making a small amount is enough for you, sir."
The problem is that I can't perform this surgery by myself; I definitely need someone to help me.
Finding a qualified surgeon and then training him to help me takes time.
At the same time, if you want to combine it with the Golden Needle Technique, then you'll have to ask my master or some senior brother who is skilled in this art to come.
Finally, even if I could completely remove the bone fragments here, cut away the obstruction that was hindering movement, and accurately break any misaligned bones, what would happen afterward?
Li San Niang looked at Mr. Bu Ke and said, word by word, "It's hard to say whether you can withstand the infection."
If he's lucky and pulls through, then this gentleman, who hasn't been able to stand for many years, will have to continue his rehabilitation. If he truly wants to stand up on his own, it will likely take another year or two.
When Mr. Bu Ke was initially excited and thrilled when Li San Niang asked him if he wanted to stand up again, his rationality soon revealed that success was not guaranteed and it might all be a mirage.
However, when Mr. Ke listened to Li San Niang's explanation, which was so eloquent and detailed, including details about rehabilitation exercises afterward, he actually felt that this was not a dream, not self-deception, but something that could really be achieved!
"Don't even mention three or five years, I can wait even ten years!"
Li San Niang is a person with all four limbs intact. She doesn't understand how dark and painful it is for someone like Mr. Bu Ke, who has always held himself to high standards, to have once possessed something and then lose it.
If it weren't for Xue Mu (Xue Yao's elder brother) saving him, he would have ended his own life long ago after avenging his great enemy.
Right now, it's just a matter of waiting a few years, so what?
