Li Muyan was the first to come back to his senses, but he had just said something wrong and was embarrassed. He could only take Xiaoxiao’s hand and push the ginseng towards Gongsun Zhongjing.
The latter snorted and took the ginseng. He changed the topic. "It’s still connected to the soil. Did you just dig it out?"
The two of them did not mind. As long as she did not move anything, they would ignore her. Xiaoxiao even gave her a look that said she was on her own. Then, as Gongsun Zhongjing slashed down, the nanny’s eyes rolled back and she fainted without making a sound.
Xiaoxiao took a glance at it. With this glance, she heard the space ask: [Discovered ingredient lesion. Master, do you want to use the ingredient identification function?]
Xiaoxiao did not hypocritically say that there was no need. She only asked Gongsun Zhongjing, "What do I need to do?"
Thinking of the nature of the space in the past, Xiaoxiao asked cautiously: [Will she die after cutting it?]
This work too? Out of curiosity, Xiaoxiao thought that it was not a loss to use it since it was free. She let the space try.
Gongsun Zhongjing did not stop for a moment. As he searched, he had to pay attention to the old lady’s condition at all times. This matter could not be delayed. As time passed, just the loss of blood could take the old lady’s life. No matter what kind of illness it was, Gongsun Zhongjing was unwilling to see them lose their lives.
She said, "As you all know, I’m a chef. Putting everything else aside, at least I don’t faint when I see blood. My hands are steady enough." free.webno(v)e\l.(c)om
It was not easy for Li Muyan to find Gongsun Zhongjing. The latter said that he wanted to cut open the old lady’s stomach and remove the necrotic part. However, when these words reached the old lady’s ears, she cried, made a fuss, and threatened to hang herself. She refused to cooperate no matter what. She even scolded Doctor Gongsun for being a quack.
As an assistant, Xiaoxiao’s first priority was to clean up the blood. This job was indeed not suitable for people with weak mental fortitude. If it were those girls just now, they might really shake and drop off their things.
Li Muyan bowed repeatedly. "I will never forget Miss Ning’s kindness. If you ask me in the future, I will definitely go through fire and water!"
However, Xiaoxiao was actually also exclaiming in her heart. She thought to herself that as expected of the Genius Doctor Valley. Surgery was not something ordinary people dared to do, especially in ancient times. The first senior to pioneer was definitely a hero.
The nanny beside the Old Madam recommended herself, but she was old and had poor eyesight. The maidservants were usually afraid of the fierce Old Madam, so they did not dare to volunteer now. They were afraid that if anything happened, they would not be able to bear the responsibility. They were also afraid that the Old Madam would blame them for messing around with Young Master after she was saved—she was not a reasonable mistress.
The human body was very complicated. Without the help of modern equipment, Gongsun Zhongjing could not directly find the place that needed to be removed. The blood that kept gushing out increased the difficulty of finding it.
This couldn’t go on. Just as Li Muyan was thinking about whether he should thicken his skin and ask Mrs. Shen for help, Xiaoxiao slowly raised her hand. "Why don’t I do it?"
Although Gongsun Zhongjing said that he wouldn’t care anymore, he still got into the Li Family’s carriage without a word when he heard that the old lady had fainted. After brewing the medicine and giving it to the old lady, Li Muyan lined up the things he would use later. Another problem appeared.
Li Muyan rubbed his temples and said, "No matter what the outcome is, the girl who helped today can receive her indenture and 50 taels of silver. She can leave the Li Residence and regain her freedom."
People would affect each other. Even if it was him, he would not be able to perform normally as if nothing had happened if his assistant was in a panic. Xiaoxiao’s calmness made him more confident in this laparotomy.
When he said that, a few people were tempted. However, Gongsun Zhongjing glanced at them and shook his head. "If they tremble now, how are they going to help me later? If they get nervous and drop a knife into your grandmother’s stomach..."
Gongsun Zhongjing had taught her to recognize the things he needed later. He realized that this young lady was very smart. She could remember them after he said them once. She even started tying her hair and got Li Muyan to help her find a clean cotton shirt without any decorations.
While Gongsun Zhongjing was brewing the medicine, the old lady vomited blood again while she was unconscious. If it had not been discovered early, she would have choked to death on the blood in her mouth.
It had always been others begging Gongsun Zhongjing for treatment. He had never encountered such an unreasonable patient. Gongsun Zhongjing had never coaxed anyone, let alone someone like Old Madam Li, who spoke domineeringly and unpleasantly. He could only prescribe medicine to stabilize her condition and wait for the Li Family to persuade her. Unexpectedly, before Old Madam Li could relent, her illness suddenly acted up again and she fainted.
Li Muyan’s anxiety was obvious. Xiaoxiao also found out about the old lady’s situation from everyone’s intermittent descriptions.
[Identification results: One-third of the stomach lesion. Suggested treatment method: Removal.]
The space seemed to think for a moment: [Considering ancient medical conditions, if there’s a hemorrhage or postoperative infection, yes.]
He needed an assistant, a female assistant.
Her expression was solemn as she memorized every point. No one should disturb the surgery, but Old Madam’s nanny insisted on keeping an eye on it, as if she was afraid that Gongsun Zhongjing and Xiaoxiao would kill her for money.
Xiaoxiao was speechless.
At first, she only often felt nauseous, vomited, and could not eat. However, she was seriously afraid of doctors and did not trust any doctors found by others. Instead, she went to make some prescriptions herself. Later on, she started to vomit blood as she ate...
After revealing her smooth and full forehead, her eyes seemed to be brighter. Gongsun Zhongjing nodded and started to teach her to use special clamps to hold the things he needed later and put them into boiling water to boil.
Mrs. Shen coughed lightly. "Of course. This girl actually buried the ginseng in the courtyard. The most magical thing is that it was still alive."
Other than his medicine page, this was the first time Gongsun Zhongjing had met such a smart and perceptive person. She learned everything immediately and even did everything in accordance with his requirements.
Xiaoxiao did not even look at her and let the arrogant old servant lie on the ground. Seeing that the Old Madam’s stomach was exposed under Gongsun Zhongjing’s knife, she calmly reached out and wiped the blood.
Alright, when she said that, the maidservants who were originally tempted immediately retreated obediently.
Gongsun Zhongjing’s tense nerves relaxed.
Seeing Gongsun Zhongjing looking over, Xiaoxiao said, "I think this is more convenient. Otherwise, it’ll be quite troublesome whether it’s the sleeves fluttering or the hair blocking your eyes. If your clothes are clean, it’ll save you from having any dirty things floating to the wounds."
Gongsun Zhongjing looked at Xiaoxiao in surprise, then walked out with the ginseng. "I’ll go wash it and brew the medicine. You guys look after the patient. Call me if there are any changes."
The doctor in the residence had also seen her. He only said to prepare for her funeral...
Looking at the sweat on his forehead, Xiaoxiao changed to a clean cloth to wipe it off for him. At the same time, she asked the space to scan the lesion area for her. Then, she found an opportunity to point at the target and ask, "Doctor Gongsun, I think the color of this place is different from other places."
