Another thigh
Fu Changan glanced at Fu Mingyue, feeling helpless.
As the sky darkened,
The Du family prepared dinner, and during the meal, everyone in the Du family was extremely grateful to Su Yunwei and treated her with great courtesy. However, Aunt Jiang remained sarcastic, muttering quietly, "It's a ripped-open stomach. I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for the in-laws." Her two sons remained silent, silently picking up their dishes and eating. To them, the life and death of others was of little concern; as long as they had a roof over their heads and food to eat, they could live.
Gu Youyuan was arranged by Jiang to sit next to Du Xuzhou. His affectionate eyes drifted towards Du Xuzhou from time to time, his face full of shyness. He served dishes and poured tea, and asked about Du Xuzhou's well-being, who had just experienced a thrilling experience.
Du Xuzhou thought the woman in front of him seemed too attentive and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
After dinner, Su Yunwei, fearing something might happen to Du's father during the night, decided to keep watch herself. She spread out her bedding on the small couch in Du's outer room, intending to stay there so she could be ready to respond if anything happened. However, Du Xuzhou insisted on staying by his father's bed. Su Yunwei didn't stop him, believing that having one more person watching... was good.
Seeing this, Fu Changan pondered for a moment and said to Su Yunwei, "You have exerted a lot of energy today. It may be difficult for you to keep watch alone. I have nothing to do, so I will stay here with you. If you need to run errands or do any work that requires strength, I can take care of you."
Su Yunwei was a little surprised. She looked at Fu Changan and nodded happily, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Fu." She felt more at ease with him around.
Fu Mingyue originally wanted to stay, but was persuaded by Fu Changan and Su Yunwei to go back and rest. She had suffered a great shock today and needed to calm down.
It was late at night and quiet. Under the dim candlelight in the room, only the slightly heavy breathing of Du's father could be heard. Du Xuzhou leaned on a chair, guarding the bed. He was exhausted after not sleeping for several days. His eyelids drooped heavily and he felt drowsy. In the end, he could not resist the overwhelming sleepiness and his consciousness fell into darkness.
Outside, Su Yunwei and Fu Changan sat on the couch together, speechless for a while.
Fu Changan turned to look at Su Yunwei and finally asked the question that had been on his mind: "Where did Weiwei acquire such extraordinary medical skills? As far as I know, even the director of the Imperial Hospital might not have such courage and skills. And what does my sister mean by summoning?"
After thinking about it, Su Yunwei decided to tell him about her time travel. She looked out the window and said slowly, "I am a doctor from the future."
"The future?" Fu Changan's initially puzzled eyes were now filled with shock. She actually came from the future. What was that world like?
"Yes, I was originally going to the countryside with my colleagues to provide free medical treatment, and then I was summoned by your sister." Su Yunwei glanced at Fu Changan with a helpless expression, "You know everything that happened next. I'm too lazy to repeat it."
"As for my medical skills, they were of course learned in my time. There are so many people in my area who are more skilled than me. If you throw me among them, I'd be nothing more than a handyman."
"Don't underestimate yourself. In my heart, you are the most amazing person." Fu Changan spoke from the heart. He would not say sweet words, but only seek truth from facts.
Su Yun smiled and looked at Fu Changan. The moonlight cast a silver shadow on Su Yunwei, and her bright eyes were full of waves. "There are many people in the hospital who praise me, but you are the only one who makes me particularly happy.
The woman in front of him exhaled a sweet breath, and Fu Changan was not surprised to feel nervous. He didn't dare to look into her eyes again. He could only lower his head hurriedly and quickly find a topic to talk about: "What kind of hospital is it?"
"A hospital." Su Yunwei didn't know how to explain it, so she tried her best to use words he could understand. "It's a place where many doctors gather, just like the Imperial Hospital here, but there are some differences. We have many hospitals in every place. There are maternity hospitals that only treat children and women, there are also specialized hospitals that only treat children, and of course there are general hospitals that treat all kinds of diseases."
"Then where are you?" Fu Changan asked, looking up at her. It was unheard of that a hospital had so many classifications.
"I work at a general practice hospital," Su Yun sighed. Thinking back on those busy and exhausting days, she felt incredibly miserable. "Our hospital has even more specialized departments. There's gynecology, which focuses on women, and pediatrics, which focuses on children. And the children's department is even more specialized, with general pediatrics, neonatology, and internal medicine, which focuses on the internal organs of the human body. And of course, there are many other departments."
"Which department are you in?" What kind of department could have shaped her medical skills? This is what Fu Changan wanted to know more.
"I'm in the surgery department. Almost every doctor in our department can perform the operation I'm performing today, but their skills vary. I've done it before, and I've also assisted others. Before I actually got started, I practiced countless times on a model. Only after my teacher deemed me qualified did I feel comfortable enough to start."
Fu Changan was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't imagine what kind of place that was. He just felt that Su Yunwei's description had opened a door to an unknown world for him. He sighed, "The future world is so magical. Weiwei lives in that place." Fu Changan paused, glanced at Su Yunwei beside him, and said in a muffled voice, "It's really much better than our place."
It's not just much better, it's like heaven and earth! "We don't use carriages to travel. We have cars, trains, high-speed trains, and airplanes. They're very fast. It only takes about an hour to get from here to a place 800 miles away." Su Yunwei remembered that it only took her an hour and a half to fly from Short Sand to Dongmen. It's nothing like this damn place. Although the carriages are fast, they are hard to bear.
Fu Chang'an's eyes trembled. An airplane? Is that something that can fly? It's surprisingly fast. If... if it were used on the battlefield... Fu Chang'an took a deep breath, his fingers clenching into fists involuntarily.
"We also have mobile phones, which are small devices that you can hold in your hand. Almost everyone in our area has one. If you want to talk to someone or see someone, you just press a button and you can talk to them immediately, no matter where they are. You can also see their appearance and the scene through the phone."
Fu Changan: “…”
His head buzzed, and he felt a blank. Fu Changan's Adam's apple rolled up and down, but he couldn't speak. The future world was so magical, it was simply a paradise created by the gods.
He looked at Su Yunwei: "Then...will you go back?" Her world was so beautiful, and she was so willing to stay here.
"I'm not going back." Su Yun sighed lightly. She had already accepted the fact that she couldn't go back. Staying here and being a salted fish was also a good choice. Although she would still think of the convenient life and her parents from time to time, but... she couldn't go back.
But if I have the chance to go back, I will still try it.
Fu Changan looked at her, not knowing what he was thinking.
That night, although Father Du could be heard tossing and turning and groaning occasionally, he did not suffer from high fever or vomiting, and his breathing gradually became stable. Su Yunwei went in to check on him every once in a while, and Fu Changan also accompanied him. The two of them occasionally talked in low voices, but most of the time they discussed the care of injuries.
Fu Changan no longer dared to ask or think about the world he had never encountered. Every time he learned about it, it was a spur to his life over the years.
The next morning, Mr. Du, who had been in a coma for several days, finally woke up to everyone's expectation.
"Dad!" Du Xuzhou, who had somehow fallen asleep on the floor, opened his eyes drowsily and saw the bald head on the bed move. He jumped up with a start.
Su Yunwei and Fu Changan, who were guarding the outer room, also walked in immediately. Su Yunwei stepped forward to examine Du's father carefully, flipping his eyelids and asking him simple questions in a low voice. Although Du's father was weak and his speech was unclear, he was able to answer the questions slowly.
Seeing this, Su Yunwei turned around and wanted to tell Du Xuzhou some precautions, but the room was crowded with people.
Su Yunwei looked at Du Xuzhou again: "Your father is very weak now, he must rest. You can give him some water later. Today he can only drink a little rice soup, and you can increase the amount tomorrow."
She looked at Du's mother beside him and saw that she looked distraught, then looked at Du Xuzhou. Su Yunwei explained some follow-up care precautions, such as how to clean the wound, how to feed, how to observe changes in the condition, when to get out of bed and move slowly, etc., without any details.
Everyone in the Du family was naturally moved to tears of gratitude and kept Su Yunwei's instructions in mind. However, Jiang, who was peeking at the door, muttered something with a stern expression.
Now that Father Du's condition has stabilized, it's time for Su Yunwei and the Fu family to return to the city. Fu Chang'an and Fu Li are both important officials in the court. They both took leave in the past few days. The Holy Lord must have been dissatisfied for a long time. Even if Father Du has not woken up today, the two of them must return to the city.
Du Xuzhou knew their situation and didn't want to keep them any longer. He personally escorted them to the gate and bowed deeply to Su Yunwei again: "Doctor Su, your kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by the Du family. If you need anything in the future, I will do my best to help you."
Of course, Du Xuzhou could even get the equipment for a craniotomy. How could Su Yunwei let such a powerful medical supplier go? "It's a deal, Du Xuzhou. I'll remember this."
Du Xuzhou was slightly taken aback when he heard this, then burst into laughter. "Don't worry, Doctor Su. I can't take back my words. If you need any tools in the future, just draw a blueprint and send it to me. Just ask for my sister's address."
"Okay." Su Yun hugged another thigh, and gained a lot from this trip.
Fu Li and Du Yinyin shared a carriage, while Su Yunwei rode in the same one with Fu Changan and his sister. Su Yunwei's tense body finally relaxed, and she leaned against the wall of the carriage, relaxing until she fell into a deep sleep.
Fu Changan looked at her peaceful sleeping face and gently covered her with a cloak.
Fu Mingyue looked at Su Yunwei. She was filled with curiosity and anticipation about her new teacher. She wondered if she would ever perform craniotomies like Weiwei.
