Chapter 43 Assessment (Part 3): Heyka Technique
"Third Sister, this is Dr. Sun, the surgeon from the Imperial Medical Bureau. Please pay your respects."
Li San Niang bowed her head obediently and greeted him, "San Niang greets Physician Sun. I am deeply honored that Physician Sun could come."
"Haha, as expected, the student surpasses the teacher. Doctor Gao is already highly skilled in medicine, and Doctor Li, who was recommended to join the alliance many years ago, is not to be underestimated. Like father, like daughter. Third Sister Li's methods are quite powerful."
"Third Sister, this is Physician Qian, the most senior physician in our alliance. Please pay your respects."
"Third Sister greets Doctor Qian. Third Sister is deeply honored that Doctor Qian could come."
"Haha, very well said, very well said. Old Gao, you are truly blessed to have such a capable grand-disciple in your old age. Just now, from what I heard, Doctor Sun used Li San Niang's method to save people?"
The elderly doctor accompanying Dr. Sun asked with interest.
Doctor Gao, accompanied by Li San Niang, welcomed Doctor Sun and Doctor Qian, who were among the group, and they all took their seats. Manager Jin then served hot tea with his servant.
Dr. Sun slowly began to drink, then said to Doctor Qian with a hint of surprise, "It really is!"
Ever since Li San Niangzi saved the daughter of the Duke of Liang, her method of saving people on the verge of death has been widely circulated as a miracle.
I was naturally curious, so I asked Di Shaoqing how this method was done.
It was quite a coincidence. Earlier this month, the Imperial Guards were training newly enlisted soldiers, and I went with them. That day, they were teaching the new recruits to swim. One soldier was practicing in a pond some distance away, and by the time people found him, he had already stopped breathing.
I followed the method Li San Niangzi had given me from Di Shaoqing, hoping it would be a last resort to save the soldier. Guess what happened?
This Dr. Sun is quite mischievous. He thought that surgeons were very serious and never smiled, but he's keeping everyone in suspense.
"Medical Inspector Sun, tell me quickly, was the soldier saved?"
The question was asked by Dr. Qian, but everyone in the room was listening intently.
"Of course he was saved, otherwise why would I have come uninvited today? Li San Niangzi's method really works! The soldier is almost fully recovered now and looks quite good."
Although Li San Niang had previously saved Qian Xiaolang, the son of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, the story was only spread within a small circle at that time, and since it was just a child, it did not arouse much curiosity among the public.
But Li San Niang had saved the daughter of the Duke of Liang from drowning that day, which naturally attracted attention. Not to mention that the daughter's actions later led to the Gao family being surrounded by the Imperial Guards, and the expert detective Di Shaoqing was invited to distinguish right from wrong. It was no wonder that noble families and common people alike would talk about this matter over tea.
Due to various factors, it was from that time that Li San Niang, who was famous in Chang'an, caught the eye of some people.
But actually, listening to the back-and-forth between Physician Sun and Physician Qian, Li San Niang suspected that Physician Sun was a surgeon, perhaps invited by some scoundrel to give her a chance? Or was he really just there because he was interested in her method of saving lives?
After all, when he went to Mr. Bu Ke to ask for a way to make the equipment, he said a few words. Who knew that Mr. Bu Ke, who looked like he had more than 800 tricks up his sleeve, was the person he had found behind the scenes?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li San Niang couldn't very well ask Doctor Gao about the background of this Doctor Sun, or whether Doctor Qian was related to the young man from the Qian family whom she had saved.
Otherwise, these two are working too well together, one speaking and the other flattering.
After hearing the reason why Physician Sun had come, everyone started discussing among themselves.
Regardless of whose face we're here for, since we're already here, we should see what this woman is capable of.
Having received the glances from Doctor Gao and Li's father, Li San Niangzi stood up, bowed to the nearly thirty people from the three factions present, and said loudly, "Thank you all for giving me this opportunity. I am honored that you are here today. Without further ado, I will get straight to the point."
When Doctor Gao applied to give Li San Niangzi a chance to join the alliance, he did not immediately say that Li San Niangzi would share her life-saving methods with the alliance members. So, apart from the moderate faction led by Doctor Gao, the other two factions remained silent at first, clearly showing that they did not want a young girl to enter this profession.
However, after Dr. Gao revealed that Li San Niang would share her methods of saving lives free of charge and that she would focus on women's diseases and childbirth after passing the assessment, the repulsion between the remaining two factions became less pronounced.
In the end, after much back and forth, all parties ended up giving Li San Niang this opportunity.
"Today, all the seniors who have come are doing so out of respect for my grandmaster, Physician Gao, my father, and my second brother. I cannot promise anything, but I can guarantee that everyone who has come today will not have come in vain!"
What I want to share with you today is divided into three parts. The first part will be the Heinrich's technique and CPR. These are the two methods I used to save the young master of the Qian family and the young lady of the Duke of Liang's family.
After Li San Niang finished speaking, she looked at Li Da Lang and said, "Gentlemen, the Hai family technique was not created by me alone. It was invented by a doctor from another place, and I only learned it from him. That is why this method is called the Hai family technique."
With a glance from Li San Niang, Li Da Lang began to put on his acting skills. They had rehearsed at home beforehand, and Li Da Lang was not at all nervous. He calmly sat down and started eating his snacks.
Everyone was wondering why they were watching Ichiro eat snacks.
Suddenly, Li Dalang covered his neck with his hands, his eyes widened, and he made a "humph" sound. Only then did Li Sanniang continue: "Everyone, this Hai family technique is for situations where the throat and trachea are accidentally blocked. Please watch as my Dalang is acting out a person who cannot breathe because he choked on food."
Li Dalang, as expected of a martial artist, acted so convincingly that only his own family members knew he was acting after watching it countless times at home. Everyone else, especially the old doctor Gao, was quite frightened.
Because he hadn't been informed beforehand, Dr. Gao got up in anger and slapped Li's father.
Mr. Li smiled helplessly. He couldn't very well say that it was his own third aunt who said this was the most unexpected way to demonstrate the method, so that people would take it seriously and be able to learn it vividly on the spot.
At this moment, Li Dalang's face was flushed red with bulging veins. Every time Li Sanniang saw this scene, she was particularly impressed. It was truly amazing that a martial artist could have such skills.
The rest of the people in the room, including the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Dr. Sun, were all amazed. If it weren't for Li San Niang's explanation, they would have all thought that Li Da Lang had really choked on his snack.
Those present were truly surprised that techniques could be taught in this way.
"Everyone, please pay attention. My second brother will use this Hai family technique to demonstrate how to help my eldest son escape from trouble."
Yes, it's Li Erxiong's turn to take the stage.
Then, Brother Li Er stepped forward and pulled Brother Li Dalang up. Of course, this was just acting; in reality, Brother Li Dalang stood up on his own.
Just like they were rehearsing at home, Li Erxiong hugged Li Dalang from behind, stretched out his arms from under his armpits and squeezed them tightly, clenched one fist and wrapped the other fist inside, and used this clenched fist to press hard between Li Dalang's navel and sternum.
"Gentlemen, come closer and take a closer look at my second brother's technique. This is the key to the Hai family's technique."
As they spoke, Dr. Sun, Dr. Qian, Dr. Sun Chengren, and Dr. Gao came forward, with two on each side surrounding Li Erxiong and Li Dalang.
Li San Niang stood slightly to the left of Li Er Xiong and Li Da Lang, making room in front of them so that everyone could see them better.
With a glance from Li San Niang, Li Er Lang, quick-witted as ever, handed her one of his own leather water bags. "Look, everyone," he said, "a person's lungs are like this water bag, hollow and capable of inhaling and exhaling. When I plug the mouth of this water bag, naturally, they can't breathe. So, I squeeze the belly of the water bag hard, and once the airway is open, they'll naturally be fine."
As she spoke, Li Sanniang pointed to Li Erxiong's folded fists and continued, "When you put it on a person, you should fold your fists like this, find the right spot between the navel and the sternum, and press hard. It will be like a blocked water sac, using the internal pressure to cough out the blockage."
As soon as Li San Niang stopped explaining, Li Er Xiong pressed hard on Li Da Lang's upper abdomen. After three or four such impacts, Li Da Lang suddenly coughed up a half-eaten pastry.
Of course, this was originally a snack that Li Dalang had in his mouth, but he spat it out at this moment just for demonstration purposes.
