The next day, when Mu Huaixi woke up, Ying Mingcheng was gone again.

However, breakfast was already on the stove. Mu Huaixi hummed a song while eating eggs, rice dumplings, and a plate of salted duck eggs.

At the beginning of spring, the canteen fenced off an area on the lake on the other side of Yinjiao Mountain and raised a large group of ducklings. Unexpectedly, we could already eat duck eggs by then.

She was quite lucky today and even got to eat a double-yolk salted duck egg. She went to work satisfied.

At this point, Mu Huaixi completely let go of the matter. Anyway, Ying Mingcheng would handle it and she would definitely not be harmed. However, what she didn't expect was that she met Tang Xiaotang as soon as she arrived at the health center.

"Doctor Mu, Doctor Mu, please save him!"

Tang Xiaotang was sweating profusely as he pulled a cart over. Lying in the cart was a young man who was also sweating. Seeing him holding his stomach and groaning, it seemed that something was wrong.

"What's wrong with him?" Mu Huaixi asked Tang Xiaotang while calling the people in the yard to come out and push the donkey cart in together.

Although Wang Xiaohua didn't like Tang Xiaotang very much, she wouldn't show any disrespect to her in front of the patients. However, when she saw her tightly grasping the young man's hand, her expression changed and she couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Tang, who is this?"

"He, he's my brother," Tang Xiaotang's eyes wandered, but he was particularly firm when he said the word "brother." "Doctor Mu, please save him. He came to help me sow the seeds this morning, and suddenly he collapsed, holding his abdomen."

Mu Huaixi learned from Tang Xiaotang's flustered and confusing statement that the young man was the son of the family that had adopted her before, named Hu Bing. He knew that her family was short of labor for spring plowing and came to help on his own initiative.

Unexpectedly, he collapsed after only two days of work.

Everyone in the clinic worked together to lift Hu Bing off the donkey cart. He had lost consciousness from the pain and curled up like a shrimp, with his arms tightly protecting his lower abdomen.

"Let's carry him directly into the operating room," Jiang Wenyuan took the lead and changed direction. It seemed that he also felt that the man's condition was not good.

"My brother, is my brother okay?" Tang Xiaotang was also anxious to go in, but was stopped by Wang Xiaohua.

"No outsiders are allowed in the operating room. Please wait outside!"

Wang Xiaohua didn't wait for her to agree or not, and directly took the disinfection bottle next to the door and went into the room and closed the door. The incident happened suddenly and the operating room had not been disinfected yet!

Mu Huaixi and Jiang Wenyuan in the operating room had already entered the diagnosis and treatment state. It took a lot of effort just to open the curled up body.

"......" Jiang Wenyuan took off his stethoscope, frowned, and asked her, "There's a bulge in the lower abdomen, and it echoes when I tap it. It should be a hernia. What do you think?"

"It's a hernia," Mu Huaixi also took the pulse and nodded to Jiang Wenyuan.

Hernia refers to the protrusion of internal organs to the surface of the body, forming a local mass, which is common in the groin. Generally speaking, it often occurs in the elderly, women and children. However, this person only has some liver depression and no qi and blood deficiency. It should be caused by excessive force.

"What are they moving? They're using so much force." It was the first time that Li Fengjuan had seen a patient with such an outrageous abdominal hernia. When she thought about how he ended up in this state while helping someone tend to the vegetable garden, she couldn't help but shook her head.

Wang Xiaohua also shook her head. "It's good that he was sent here when he had an attack like this. The most worrying thing is the kind of hernia that can go undetected. The occasional pain is very excruciating, and it's difficult to treat if you delay it."

She had seen patients like this in the county hospital. Most of them were elderly women who were good at enduring pain. By the time they were taken to the operating room, their dislocated organs had already eroded.

“Boom boom boom!!”

Someone knocked on the window of the operating room. It was Tang Xiaotang who was pressed against the glass. Judging from her lip movements, she seemed to be asking about her brother's condition. She must have seen Fengjuan shaking her head just now.

Mu Huaixi retracted his gaze and looked at Feng Juan. "That's perfect. Go out and ask her to find her family. The sooner the better."

Hu Bing's condition wasn't good; he definitely needed an open abdominal surgery. Tang Xiaotang couldn't make the decision, so he had to consult his family. Tang Xiaotang had just told him that Hu Bing's family lived in Shuanglonggou, even further away than Furong Bridge. It was unclear when they would arrive.

"Fengjuan, take her to the regiment headquarters to make a phone call and notify her family as soon as possible!" Jiang Wenyuan specifically instructed Li Fengjuan that even if she couldn't get the family members to sign, she had to let them know.

While waiting for Fengjuan, the two prepared for the operation, but Fengjuan and Tang Xiaotang never came back.

Mu Huaixi frowned and looked at the clock on the windowsill, then looked at Hu Bing, "No, let's start first."

She had just given Hu Bing some painkillers. He was now lying down, but his complexion was looking increasingly unwell.

"We really can't delay any longer," Jiang Wenyuan agreed. However, just as he approached Hu Bing with the tool, the other party suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed his arm fiercely with trembling hands, causing Jiang Wenyuan to cry out in pain.

"What are you doing?" Wang Xiaohua was about to hit him with a hammer. "Doctor Jiang wants to save you, and you want to hurt him?! If his hand is injured, no one will treat your illness anymore, and you will die in pain!"

Hu Bing covered his stomach in astonishment, and then seemed to realize that something was wrong. He hurriedly let go of his hand and apologized repeatedly with a red face, "I'm sorry, doctor, I, I thought..."

"It's okay," Jiang Wenyuan stretched his arms and explained his situation to him again. After confirming that he understood, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's start now."

He turned around and saw Mu Huaixi frowning. Thinking there was something wrong with the surgical preparations, he quickly took two steps at a time, came over and whispered, "Doctor Mu, what's wrong?"

Mu Huaixi woke up as if from a dream. She was stunned when she heard Hu Bing speak. Although he lowered his voice intentionally and still had the pain and trembling that could not be concealed, she recognized at the first time that this was the person who spoke to Tang Xiaotang in the woods that day!

At first she thought she had misheard. After all, she subconsciously felt that even if the man was injured, Tang Xiaotang would not send him to the health center, after all, this place was too close to the military area.

But then he thought, there are no good hospitals nearby. Besides, if this person wants to gather information for a long time, he must have an identity that will not arouse suspicion. It is indeed not suspicious for Tang Xiaotang's brother to come to Maidiping.

Previously, she was not sure whether she had been exposed, but the current performance of Tang Xiaotang and Hu Bing made her certain of this.

But no matter what this person's identity is outside, the person in front of her is just a patient.

Mu Huaixi took a deep breath and nodded to the worried Dr. Jiang in front of him, "It's okay, I was just lost in thought about the surgical procedures."

"Don't be nervous, didn't we do one last week?" Jiang Wenyuan patted her shoulder gently and took the lead to walk towards the operating table.
