"Here."
Soon, Zhao Xiaohua brought Lin Yichen to the guest room, where they saw Tang Xiaohu lying on the bed, pale-faced and unconscious. Lin Yichen frowned as she entered.
It stinks! It's even worse than the smell of a patient who's been dead for three days in the hospital. But thankfully, Ariel Lin was wearing a mask, so she could still bear it.
Upon seeing Tang Xiaohu, Lin Yichen knew that his injury was definitely not accidental. At the hospital, she had encountered many cases of people injured in gang fights, their conditions similar to Tang Xiaohu's, only his injuries were much less severe.
When the gauze was removed, blood gushed out. Zhao Xiaohua turned pale upon seeing this, while Lin Yichen merely frowned slightly and quickly pressed several acupoints, immediately reducing the bleeding.
"What are you standing there for? Bring me my bread."
Seeing that Zhao Xiaohua remained unmoved, Ariel Lin couldn't help but urge her on.
"Huh? Shouldn't we be using a first-aid kit?"
Zhao Xiaohua was stunned for a moment. What was the meaning of taking the bread?
"That's just my rule: get paid first, then do the work!"
Ariel Lin coldly stated that she had seen many similar situations in the hospital, where patients wanted to have the surgery done beforehand and pay only after the surgery went smoothly.
In this way, if the surgery fails, you don't have to pay the surgery fee. However, hospitals usually refuse this, since there are still many unscrupulous people in this society.
Seeing Zhao Xiaohua still standing there, Lin Yichen became even more convinced of her idea. Zhao Xiaohua must want to have the surgery first and then renege on the agreement after the surgery. In fact, Zhao Xiaohua had the same idea.
Anyway, the surgery is over, so you can't just take our food away by force, can you? But I didn't expect Ariel Lin to pull this stunt.
Seeing that Ariel Lin seemed ready to leave the moment she wasn't given food, Zhao Xiaohua finally gave in and brought out three pieces of bread from a room.
"Give!"
After receiving the bread, Ariel Lin began the surgery.
Tang Xiaohu has fainted because of excessive blood loss from his large wound, but it is not too serious. He only needs to stop the bleeding in time and recover properly.
In this situation, all that's needed is to stitch the wound up. With that in mind, Lin Yichen took out a bundle of medical needles and thread from her medical kit, unpacked the package, disinfected the needles, and began stitching up Tang Xiaohu's wound.
After half an hour of effort, Ariel Lin finally managed to completely stitch up Tang Xiaohu's wound.
"Mission accomplished. He should be alright now. Give him some nourishment later, and he'll recover quickly."
Lin Yichen wanted to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Xiaohua.
"You can't leave."
Zhao Xiaohua said frankly.
"Oh, why?"
"My husband hasn't woken up yet. Let's talk about it when he wakes up!"
Zhao Xiaohua looked at Tang Xiaohu, who was still unconscious on the bed, and said with some concern.
"Alright, I'll wait here then. It looks like he should wake up within an hour."
Lin Yichen thought it made sense, so she sat down on the sofa and ate a piece of bread (as payment). She had been performing surgery for half an hour and was now starving.
In such a situation, being able to eat at all is already a blessing, let alone being able to eat your fill.
An hour later, Tang Xiaohu's groans came from the bed, and Zhao Xiaohua rushed over.
"Honey, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, what happened?"
Excessive blood loss left Tang Xiaohu in a daze, unable to remember some things.
"Have you forgotten? You were slashed in the leg by a large cleaver earlier and lost too much blood and passed out."
Zhao Xiaohua reminded him, and Tang Xiaohu then remembered.
After seeing Tang Xiaohu wake up, Ariel Lin came up to him and gave him a reminder.
"The sutured area should not come into contact with water for two weeks, and strenuous exercise should also be avoided, otherwise there is a risk of it tearing open again."
After saying that, Ariel Lin turned around and prepared to leave, while Tang Xiaohu wondered who this woman was.
After being reminded by Zhao Xiaohua, Tang Xiaohu finally learned Lin Yichen's identity.
So they quickly stopped Ariel Lin, who frowned as she was stopped.
"What, are you trying to detain me?"
"No, no, no, I just have a question I'd like to ask Dr. Lin."
Tang Xiaohu quickly shook his head and said.
He then proceeded to explain his own problems.
"Smelly? There are many kinds of diseases that cause a foul odor in the world. I don't know what you've been diagnosed with, so I can't tell what disease you have."
Lin Yichen shook her head upon hearing this. She could have found out the problem in the hospital, but the equipment here was too limited, and she simply couldn't figure out Tang Xiaohu's condition.
"Is that so? Actually, my body started to smell bad after I came down from Xiao Chen's house. Although it didn't affect my mobility, the stench was just too unbearable."
Tang Xiaohu said with a hint of helplessness.
"This is beyond my scope of solution. Goodbye."
After saying that, Lin Yichen left. However, as she left, she became quite interested in Xiao Chen upstairs. His home seemed to be in good condition. She wondered if his family needed a doctor.
Like Lin Yichen, Xiao Chen had also noticed her at this time. However, under these circumstances, Xiao Chen decided to leave her alone for the time being. Rather than kidnapping her himself, Xiao Chen preferred that she take the initiative (except for Shen Shuisi and Xu Qing).
After all, what man doesn't want a woman to take the initiative?
"Director Tang's good days are coming to an end."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, his tone full of schadenfreude. After Tang Xiaohu's leg was slashed, many people knew about his family. In just ten days, no less than twenty households came to visit.
Although most people were driven away by Tang Xiaohu's words, five or six families still managed to snatch some food from his house.
Of course, this is because Tang Xiaohu cannot engage in strenuous exercise, otherwise the wound will reopen, and if Lin Yichen comes again, it will cost three more loaves of bread.
Although Ariel Lin was happy to agree, it was unacceptable to Tang Xiaohu's family.
After a large amount of food was stolen, Tang Xiaohu's family's situation could only be described as worse than before.
In this situation, what other choice do they have? It's truly something to look forward to.
