306 is so scary
The operation started at noon.
Even after nearly a year of recuperation, the old man didn't have much flesh on his body when he took off his clothes, which made his belly look even more bulging.
Sun Sicheng sighed, "This lump is indeed quite large. Ping An, be careful, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. Your uncle and I are here."
Ping An nodded, the anesthesia had taken effect. After routine disinfection, he inserted thirteen needles near the tumor to stop bleeding, and a small amount of anesthetic was also applied to the silver needles.
Sun Sicheng did not interfere with these things. Acupuncture can only be practiced by oneself to become more proficient. Ping'an's acupuncture is not much worse than his now. What is lacking is still the Chinese medicine's three-dimensional method of observation, auscultation and palpation.
This cannot be blamed on Ping An. Not to mention Ping An's best medical skills, even in ordinary treatments, he is better than many doctors. What he lacks now is just time.
Sun Hongyu also stood there silently, watching Ping An coming one by one.
When he first saw the child, he was only as tall as his chest. Now he is a little taller than him, with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs. If he grows another three years, he will probably be a head taller than Sicheng.
Ping An did not hesitate any longer. Based on the size and location of the tumor, he made a large horizontal incision in the abdomen.
After the abdomen was cut open, the tumor could be seen. Fortunately, it was in a good location and was not stuck on the ribs, otherwise the ribs would have to be moved, which would have been troublesome.
Sun Sicheng quickly took action and used tools to spread the flesh on both sides so that the lump could be separated safely.
Ping An carefully examined the mass and found that it had already compressed the gastrointestinal tract, so he had no choice but to make another oblique incision. Sun Hongyu hurried forward to help.
Estimating the size of the tumor, Ping An removed it more carefully. As time passed, Wu Jun had already wet several towels for his master.
…
An hour passed.
Ping An took out a large tumor with both hands and put it on a tray. He used cotton pads to clean the abdominal cavity and found that a small tumor had grown next to it. It seemed that this tumor was what is commonly known as a mother tumor.
It took him a lot of effort to cut out this small tumor because it was in a bad position and if he was not careful, he might rupture a blood vessel.
Another hour passed by the time he had sutured all the wounds.
"Ping An, I'll apply medicine and bandage it."
"Master, you may need to give the old man an acupuncture injection to relieve pain. The operation will take too long, and the anesthetic effect will wear off in half an hour at most. He will be in great pain."
"I know. Just sit aside for a while."
The Wang family members were waiting in the hall outside the emergency room. The operation had been going on for more than two hours, but the door had not been opened yet.
The Wang brothers were in a hurry, and the woman and children dared not utter a word.
The door finally opened.
Qingshi came out holding a tray.
Sun Sicheng said: "Look, this big tumor has already pressed on the old man's stomach and intestines. Ping An has found a small one next to it. If this one grows bigger, the old man will..."
Seeing that none of the Wang family members dared to look at him, Sun Hongyu said, "Master Wang, let the housekeeper take care of these. The operation was very successful, but the postoperative care is also very important. I won't go into details about these. Ping An and Si Cheng have told you many times."
Master Wang finally came to his senses and said, "Yes, yes, housekeeper, take your men to deal with it quickly and bury it in the hills behind our house, bury it deep."
"Yes, Master." Butler Wang took the things and left with a servant.
The woman and child nearby finally gasped for breath. It was so scary.
Ten days later.
The last stitch was removed safely.
The old man laughed and said, "Ping An, I never thought that my tumor would be a big one and a small one for free. It would be a loss for a doctor to encounter such a thing. Ping An, don't you think so?"
Ping An smiled and said, "Grandpa, you are so lucky. If someone had two tumors, they might have to undergo two operations. I just happened to find yours and was able to remove them all at once. Grandpa, next time I come, you have to teach me more."
"Okay, it's because you miss home and you have to go to the capital to thank for the reward. Otherwise, you can stay with me and I'll let the boss teach you. In fact, life here is more comfortable than in the capital. There are too many social interactions in the capital, which is time-consuming and expensive. I don't like it."
Ping An also shook his head: "I don't like it either. I have never been to the capital."
"But the emperor has given you a big house this time, you can't leave it empty forever."
Ping'an smiled bitterly. It was no big deal that the house was empty. He would probably bring his parents and sister with him when he went to the capital this time. In this way, his biological father and stepfather would be in the capital. If there was any happy event or social event, he might even meet them.
Especially for my mother and stepmother, this is a bit embarrassing.
"Old Master, I may not stay in the capital for long this time. I will not be able to make it in time for this year's college entrance examination. It just so happens that next year is also the year for the college entrance examination. I have to go back to the prefectural capital to take the exam. Maybe I will stay in the prefectural capital until the provincial examination."
"Ping An, your master told me about your situation. Are you worried that it will be inconvenient for both families to be in the capital? Actually, it's nothing. Your family's situation is special. You can't blame your father, let alone your mother. You can only say that it's fate.
You handled this matter well, and you fulfilled your filial duty to both your parents. You should continue to do this in the future. Whether you are a scholar or a doctor, you cannot have even the slightest flaw in your conduct, otherwise you will become a weapon for others to attack you. You are still so young, and you still have a long way to go."
"Thank you, old man. Ping'an knows. I'll apply medicine on you. Your wound is healing well. Continue to change the medicine every three days. The master has already told the doctors in the medical hall."
Ping'an changed the bandages very carefully, making the old man feel almost no pain. He really couldn't bear to part with this child, but unfortunately Yingtian was too far away from the capital and Yong'an.
Whether we can meet again in the future is another matter.
Ping An has been in Yingtian for such a long time and will soon have to return home. He is reluctant to leave such a wise old man. The father and son of the Wang family have taught him a lot this year. Even though they are not master and disciple, they still have the affection of master and disciple.
Come and see it when you can.
As for the future path, he has not yet decided. If the master gives up his official post, he will do the same in the future. I wonder if his parents and master will agree? If he follows his heart, he is willing to live a free life.
Another ten days.
The old man recovered very well. Sun Sicheng took Ping An to bid farewell to the reluctant Wang family and set off on his journey home. Ping An also took away a large stack of rare handwritten books given to him by the Wang family father and son.
These rare handwritten copies are extremely valuable and cannot be bought anywhere else.
Looking at the convoy going further and further away, Madam Wang sighed, "Ping An is such a good child. The longer we spend together, the more I like him. It's a pity that he can't be my child."
Master Wang chuckled, "There's no one here. You might as well say it's a pity that he's not our son-in-law. The eldest master is such a smart man. How could he let such a good child go to someone else? Forget it."
