Chapter 435 Old Cases in the Capital (1)
Assuming a cesarean section is possible and the incision is sutured, what happens if there is massive bleeding during the surgery? Blood type cannot be determined by blood type testing, and relying on blood drops is completely unscientific; it's simply a matter of luck.
However, if it can be implemented, there is at least a glimmer of hope; if it remains stagnant forever, there will be no miracle, no opportunity, and not even the slightest hope.
"Sister Yue Sha, you actually understand?"
The female doctor Yan stood up abruptly, grabbed Lin Yuesha's hand, and, unable to contain her excitement, exclaimed, "You understand what I mean!"
"Sister Yan, I don't really understand, but if there's another way, that would be great."
Lin Yuesha knew nothing about the procedure, but her concept was absolutely correct; at least cesarean section is a very mature surgery in modern times.
As for the research process, it was fraught with difficulties and obstacles, but there were still pioneers who dared to take the plunge.
"I don't know anything about medicine, I just have some ideas."
For example, consider a wound on a person as a torn piece of cloth. If you sew the cloth up with needle and thread, you won't be able to see the tear, just like a wound eventually becomes a scar.
Yan Yan's eyes lit up, and something flashed through her mind. She muttered, "Sew up the person's wound..."
Indeed, suturing can prevent wounds from reopening, reduce bleeding, and speed up recovery. However, how can ordinary needles and thread be used to suture wounds? Thread won't do; what can be used instead?
Yan Yan fell into deep thought, and Lin Yuesha did not disturb her, quietly leaving the room.
The female doctor Yan was so excited that she didn't sleep all night. When the group came down the mountain the next day, Lin Yuesha noticed that Yan Yan's dark circles were even deeper.
Down the mountain, Lin Yuesha ran into Fang Dazhuang, who was already waiting by the carriage. Upon seeing his young mistress, Fang Dazhuang immediately stepped forward to greet her, "Miss, how did you get down from the mountain?"
Lin Yuesha: ...
It's like bringing up a sore spot. Of course, she still came down in the gondola. Before she got on, several bandits tried to persuade her for a quarter of an hour.
There was only one sedan chair on the mountain. Madam He was afraid of heights, so she had already gone down the mountain in the sedan chair. After Lin Yuesha missed her chance, she had no choice but to settle for second best. She couldn't very well compete with a pregnant woman for a spot.
With Lady He's carriage leading the way, they encountered bandits from other mountain strongholds who came to rob them along the way. However, the group passed through smoothly without any obstacles, saving a great deal of time.
Lin Yuesha found her carriage increasingly cramped. Granny Fang and Granny Kang each sat in the driver's seat and the passenger compartment, making the already limited space even smaller.
"Miss, this old servant can only squeeze in with you. I can't get into Doctor Yan's carriage."
Granny Fang complained to Lin Yuesha that when she travels now, she doesn't mention any rules, she just wants to find a quiet place to sit for a while, which is a luxury she can only dream of in Doctor Yan's carriage.
"Sister Yan won't let you get on the carriage?"
Lin Yuesha didn't believe it. Yan Yan had no problem with her, and besides, she wasn't that kind of person.
Yan Yan had agreed to the terms agreed upon before the group set off.
"No, Doctor Yan would prefer that this old servant assist her in the carriage."
Granny Fang's eyes twitched, but as a high-ranking governess, she couldn't do that.
Yan Yan somehow got hold of two cages, both filled with pregnant rabbits. She was figuring out how to help the rabbits give birth.
On a sweltering day, with the car windows closed and a mother rabbit inside, the rabbit needs to eat, drink, and relieve itself—the smell is indescribable.
At first, Granny Fang and Granny Kang were somewhat intrigued and stayed in the carriage to help. However, after a day, they couldn't take it anymore and were nauseated by the smell.
“Miss, this old servant really shouldn’t have said anything, but I can’t help but say that you should stay away from Doctor Yan. She’s gone mad right now.”
Granny Fang touched her chest, still shaken. As Doctor Yan delivered the baby rabbit, she kept muttering that she had to cut open the mother rabbit's belly, saying that the rabbit would come first, then the person, and the dead would come first, then the living.
"Look at this, is this something a normal person would say?"
Granny Fang got goosebumps all over. It wasn't that she was exaggerating; similar cases had happened in the capital before.
"There are still cases?"
Lin Yuesha never expected that Dr. Yan was a woman of action, already starting to think about conducting experiments.
This was something others couldn't understand; it was too crazy. Lin Yuesha could only instruct Granny Fang not to tell anyone and to turn a blind eye.
“Of course these old servants know.”
Granny Fang was talking about an old case in the capital. Three years ago, a serial killer appeared in the capital.
"Oh? Has the case been solved?"
Feeling bored, Lin Yuesha pulled Granny Fang aside to chat and asked her a question.
She had never heard of any serial killers in the North, but the people of the North feared barbarians the most, who were even more ruthless than serial killers.
"It's not the vendetta you think it is, Miss."
Granny Fang shook a finger, remaining tight-lipped about the matter. For a long time, that murderous maniac was the nightmare of the people of the capital.
"Granny Fang, please stop keeping me in suspense."
"The cases that actually happened are more real than those in the stories," Lin Yuesha urged.
Seeing that she had created the right atmosphere, Granny Fang became even more pretentious, "Miss, please don't be in such a hurry. Let me have some water to soothe my throat."
“Miss, please don’t listen to Granny Fang. I know about this case too.”
The case was sensational and shocking, and Qingxing and Qi'er must have heard about it as well. Moreover, the case was related to Lord Lin.
"Is it related to him?"
Lin Yuesha didn't want to call him "father," so she just found a random word to replace it and brushed it off.
"Yes, it was our superior who solved the case, which is why he was given an important position and promoted to the position of Prefect of the Capital."
Before Granny Fang could speak, Qi'er poured out her thoughts like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.
Granny Fang could only watch helplessly. Her master had tricked the young lady, and as her subordinate, she naturally had to follow suit. She never expected that Qingxing and Qi'er would have such wicked hearts.
"Three years ago, every so often, a woman wearing a red dress would die in the capital."
Not only would they die a gruesome death, but they would also be thrown into the street and disemboweled, their hearts ripped out.
Among the dead women were daughters of officials, courtesans, peasant girls, and newlywed brides; a total of eight people died.
"Their deaths were gruesome, and without exception, their hearts were ripped out, and they died with their eyes wide open."
Qingxing hugged her arms and rubbed them together. Lin Yuesha felt cold all over. It was summer, but the temperature inside the car dropped suddenly without the need for an ice basin.
Why are they all wearing red?
Lin Yuesha bent down to look for clothes inside the car seat, but she didn't have a red dress.
"In the capital, it is customary for young women who are about to get married to wear red, and new brides should also wear red for a festive occasion."
The daughter of an official who suffered the most tragic death not only had her heart ripped out, but her eyes were also gouged out.
"But shouldn't a young lady from an official family have maids and servants around her? How did she end up being captured by that murderous maniac?"
Lin Yuesha trembled, yet she couldn't help but listen on.
