Chapter 172

"Yeah." Lu Yuanzheng nodded, "He is too young. A little more hope is also hope."

The worst case scenario is to try every possible means to save the situation.

When Xu Wen heard this, he quickly got up and put on his clothes.

Lu Yuanzheng went to the battalion headquarters to say hello to Shi Lei and the others. Xu Wen first told Dongsheng that he had to go to the Haicheng Military Hospital, and then went to Zhu Meizhen to say hello to his parents.

When Zhu Meizhen asked her if it still swelled and hurt, Xu Wen replied vaguely with a guilty conscience and just said it was okay.

Lu Yuanzheng just happened to come and pick her up.

Zhu Meizhen hadn't seen her son-in-law for a long time, and she was so eager to greet him that she left her daughter aside for a while.

In the past Xu Wen would have been jealous and vying for favor, but this time he was relieved.

Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Wen had important matters to attend to, so they did not exchange pleasantries. After saying hello, the two of them hurriedly left the island and headed straight for the Haicheng 422nd Army Hospital.

Go and see that third-generation red, Xu Wen remembered, his name was Guo Jianye.

Xu Wen thought that he had a passenger ship and the daily turnover was pretty good.

Usually, an old sailor and an old fisherman are hired to drive the boat and carry passengers.

Every night, it will randomly stop at Pengcheng Pier or the port of Rainbow Island.

The boat happened to be at Rainbow Island that day, so Lu Yuanzheng drove the boat with Xu Wen to Haicheng. This saved Lu Yuanzheng the time of filing a report and applying for the boat, and the two arrived at the 422 Hospital in the early morning.

The doctor on duty happened to be an old acquaintance of Lu Yuanzheng, the veterinarian Li Daoming whom he always talked about.

Li Daoming was on night shift, his eyes were as sleepy as a rabbit's. He saw Lu Yuanzheng staring at him with bloodshot eyes, looking him up and down, and said with a sigh: "I didn't expect that we haven't seen each other for several years. To be honest, I miss you a lot! I'm a little uncomfortable seeing you so energetic."

Lu Yuanzheng raised his leg and kicked him, "I've wanted to kick you for a long time! I never had the chance before, but now I'll make up for it."

Li Daoming didn't take it seriously. He staggered after being kicked and just patted his butt and groaned.

Probably knowing that he couldn't beat Lu Yuanzheng, he didn't even bother to fight back. Anyway, he had stabbed Lu Yuanzheng too many times, so he might as well let him make up for it.

"What brings you here? It's so rare!" Especially since Lu Yuanzheng came in standing.

They used to see each other quite often, but every time they met, Lu Yuanzheng was always walking sideways, and nine times out of ten he was unconscious, barely breathing.

"Where's my brother?"

"Eighty percent of the people living here are your brothers! Half of them must be people you know."

"The guy from Rainbow Island, the one you guys decided would be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life, his name is Guo Jianye."

"Oh! Him!" Li Daoming sighed, his expression somewhat serious. "This is not a misjudgment. The chances of him getting out of bed again are indeed slim. It's not just his leg that's the problem. His entire left hip is broken, and his lumbar spine is also injured. It's easy to treat the injury, but it's probably not easy to get out of bed again."

This is an understatement; it's basically impossible.

Lu Yuanzheng looked at Xu Wen.

Li Daoming noticed Xu Wen just now, and following Lu Yuanzheng's gaze, he greeted Xu Wen: "Hi! Sister-in-law, long time no see!"

"Long time no see. You are still in such good spirits!"

Li Daoming immediately turned around and taught Lu Yuanzheng, "Listen! Listen! My sister-in-law is indeed a college student, she is better at speaking than you!"

"She means that you should take off your white coat and move to another department for a while."

Li Daoming was tired after working for half the night and was still a little sleepy. He couldn't keep up with the pace of the expedition and blinked: "What do you mean? What department do you want to change to?"

Of course Lu Yuanzheng ignored him.

Li Daoming asked Xu Wen for help. Xu Wen coughed lightly, then lowered his head with a smile.

Li Daoming was suddenly blessed and understood everything at once.

Switch to psychiatric rehabilitation!

Say he is crazy!

Li Daoming: “…”

Li Daoming rolled his eyes. "Are you okay? If you are, get out of here! I'm already having a hard time working the night shift, and I don't want to see you bringing your sister-in-law to irritate a lonely person like me."

"You're not alone! I paid for your wedding banquet three years ago!"

"Oh! Don't mention it." Li Daoming waved his hands, especially refusing to talk about this matter, "Let's change the subject. What are you doing here?"

"Have you heard of 3D printing?" Seeing that the two of them could never get to the point, Xu Wen had to speak up himself.

Li Daoming nodded. "The one you got? I heard that it forced the Kaya away! A female hero!"

He gave Xu Wen a thumbs up without hesitation.

"The 3D printer can not only print walls, it can also print human bones."

"Hmm? Ah!" Li Daoming reacted for a moment, and immediately understood what Xu Wen meant. His eyes lit up instantly, and his bloodshot eyes glowed with excitement, which was a bit scary: "You mean, Guo Jianye still has a chance to get out of bed again?"

Xu Wen nodded and shook his head, "I only know that the printer can print out bones that meet the requirements, but the specific requirements and whether it can be transplanted surgically, what kind of materials are needed, what size, and whether the bone structure is damaged, these are up to you to judge.

If you can provide accurate data, I should be able to print it out. But I can't guarantee whether the operation will be successful or whether he can get out of bed. "

Li Daoming did not rush to reply this time. He thought for a long time with a serious expression and shook his head, "I can't give you a definite answer now. I still need to make an appointment with a few doctors from other departments to see you."

Xu Wen nodded. This was something they had never encountered before, so they would definitely be more cautious.

"If possible, would you two come to the site tomorrow to discuss this with us?" Li Daoming invited.

In fact, he only needed to invite Xu Wen, but since Lu Yuanzheng came along, he must be worried, so he might as well be a good person and give him a step.

Otherwise it would be so embarrassing for him to come here with such a thick face.

Lu Yuanzheng sneered, not feeling grateful to him at all.

Li Daoming took a deep breath, "I miss the time when you lay on my bed!"

Xu asked: "..."

Lu Yuanzheng didn't waste any words and just raised his foot again.

This time, Li Daoming did not stand there and get kicked. He trotted a short distance before stopping and turning back. "Sister-in-law, you two should find a place to rest! I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Watching Li Daoming running away in a hurry, Xu Wen was still a little unresponsive. He blinked and asked Lu Yuanzheng: "He just left us like this?"

Isn't this way of hospitality a bit too familiar?

Lu Yuanzheng was more familiar with Li Daoming's style and took it for granted. He explained, "You have provided him with a path he has never thought of. I guess he must be rushing to Guo Jianye's ward to torture him now."

Xu asked: "..."

After a moment of silence, Xu Wen still found it hard to accept, "He said he would pick us up tomorrow. Is it just a polite remark or does he really want to pick us up?"

"That's right. He has a car."

Xu Wen sighed, saying that it was rare to have a private car these days.

A car costs hundreds of thousands! According to the current housing prices in Pengcheng, you can buy two houses at least.

"Then he didn't ask us where we lived?"

"The director of Haicheng Guesthouse is his uncle. He wants us to go there."

Xu asked: "..."

Just one sentence, but it tells so much.

If they were not true friends, who could have thought of this?

Li Daoming clearly told them to find a place themselves.

In other words, you have to arrange your own accommodation.

They didn't expect that he would let them go to the place he arranged by themselves.

In the end, Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng walked to the guesthouse.

No wonder Li Daoming let them go back by themselves. This guesthouse is very close to the hospital, only ten minutes' walk away, and it looks quite big.

The two of them held hands and walked slowly towards the guesthouse with a striking sign.

"Are you sleepy?" Lu Yuanzheng asked.

Xu Wen shook his head, "Not bad."

Actually, I am a little sleepy, but not serious.

I haven't slept well these two or three days because of the increase in milk production.

Now it's actually starting to swell again, but I don't want to tell Lu Yuanzheng.

"Would you like to eat something?" Lu Yuanzheng pointed to the roadside food stalls.

In 1981, the business atmosphere in the south was already particularly strong, with no shortage of stalls and vendors in every street and alley.

Especially many educated youth who returned to the city but have not been able to find jobs.

Xu Wen was a little hesitant.

She was a little hungry, but she was afraid that if she drank too much soup, she would have bloating and pain at night.

Lu Yuanzheng lowered his head and glanced at Xu Wen's slightly chapped lips in the dim light from the roadside. "You can't be afraid of pain and not dare to eat or drink anything. Eat first, and we'll think of a solution later!"

Xu Wen rolled his eyes.

Think of a way? What can she think of? Help her suck once more? Why should she let Xiao Xiachu wean herself?

"You think too much, don't you?" Lu Yuanzheng whispered in her ear, "What I mean is that after I send you back to the guesthouse, I will ask the veterinarian to prescribe the vitamin B and malt you want."

"Isn't malt only found in traditional Chinese medicine?"

"He has a Chinese medicine shop at home."

Xu asked: "..."

I actually underestimated the strength of Li Daoming.

Just looking at his usual cheerful appearance, he really does look like a veterinarian.

Xu Wen ordered a bowl of sausage rice.

Lu Yuanzheng had been serving in the army here for more than ten years, but he was still not used to the local snacks, so he ordered a bowl of fried noodles at the stall next door.

After the two finished their meal, Lu Yuanzheng sent Xu Wen to the guesthouse.

This is a state-owned guesthouse. It looks to be quite large and is probably one of the best in Haicheng.

The important thing is that people of ordinary status cannot live here.

I wonder if Lu Yuanzheng's position is enough?

However, Xu Wen did not have the chance to know that Lu Yuanzheng had already called out Li Daoming's name familiarly.

Li Daoming's name was quite useful. The check-in procedures were completed quickly, and it was a luxury room here.

"Take a shower first, and go to sleep if you're tired. I'll get you some medicine."

Xu Wen nodded.

After Lu Yuanzheng left, she really went to take a bath.

Just like Lu Yuanzheng said, if it really hurts, just squeeze it out a little. At worst, the weaning will be slower, but you will suffer less.

When Lu Yuanzheng came back with the medicine, Xu Wen had just come out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his head.

The journey back was not quick, and he had to wait for the pharmacy to prepare the medicine for him. After all, the guesthouse could not provide this service.

Xu Wen pinched his nose and swallowed the still-warm Chinese medicine, frowning: "Are you sure this is malt? Why does it smell so bad?"

"Not just malt. His family said it can stop lactation, so they added a few other ingredients to it, and they said it's very effective. You can try it."

"Tell me after you finish drinking."

Lu Yuanzheng took out two chocolate bars from his pocket and handed them to Xu Wen, "Then... use this to press it?"

Xu Wen took it and gave it two pieces of chocolate from a famous foreign brand.

In her previous life, she still liked to eat, and was a little surprised, "Where did this come from?"

"It was seized from a pirate ship."

Lu Yuanzheng has learned a lot of foreign languages ​​from Xu Wen. Even though the chocolate is written in English, he can still recognize that it is chocolate and something to eat.

I heard Xu Wen mentioned that she likes to eat.

So I kept a few pieces of chocolate. Such a small amount of snacks could not be considered as embezzlement of public property.

Xu Wen peeled a piece, took a bite, and closed his eyes with satisfaction.

The craftsmanship of this era may not be as good as that of a few decades later, but the concentration of chocolate is purer.

Lu Yuanzheng looked at her with a smile.

When he was away, Xu Wen was on her own and everyone praised her.

But he liked the Xu Wen in front of him more. The Xu Wen in front of him was more like a simple girl.

Simple and pure.

Lu Yuanzheng licked his lower lip and asked her, "Is it delicious?"

Xu Wen generously took out a piece and gave it to him: "Would you like to try it?"

Lu Yuanzheng pinched her chin and lowered his head, "I prefer it this way."

It was inevitable that the two people who indulged themselves in excessive sexual activities would get up late.

It was Li Daoming who woke them up by banging on the door.

Lu Yuanzheng opened the door, looking unhappy at being woken up. He stood between the wall and the door, not letting Li Daoming in, and said in a bad tone: "Where are your manners?"

"Where are your manners? What time did we agree on? What time is it now?" Li Daoming put the watch on his wrist in front of Lu Yuanzheng.

The hour hand pointed to ten.

Lu Yuanzheng yawned and said, "Wait for me for ten minutes."

Then he closed the door again.

Li Daoming was so angry that he jumped outside and shouted: "I stayed up all night last night and I haven't slept yet! You're having a night of pleasure..."

Perhaps he felt that this word was not suitable to be shouted in public, so he lowered his voice a little, "You value women over friendship! Wait until I report you to Guo Jianye!"

Xu Wen inside had already changed his clothes. He had been moisturized several times a day, and even though there was still a hint of sleepiness between his brows, he couldn't hide his cheerful face.

"I really want to hide you!" Lu Yuanzheng muttered as he put on his clothes, quickly washed up, and took Xu Wen's hand to open the door.

Of course Li Daoming would not really wait at the door. He did not want to cause trouble for himself and had already returned to the car.

It's only a few minutes' journey, and driving is just a process of starting, accelerating, and then braking, but it's faster than walking after all.

After all, there was no traffic jam in the 1980s.

The consultation was held in the hospital's large conference room. Nine people sat at the table, four of whom were young.

Xu Wenlu and Yuanzheng, Li Daoming, and the person who took notes at the meeting. The youngest of the others also had half white hair.

Li Daoming used medical language to explain the feasibility of 3D printing human bones for clinical use.

Xu Wen knew that this was absolutely feasible and there were many clinical cases.

However, there probably isn't one in this era, at least she hasn't heard of it.

After Li Daoming finished speaking, Xu Wen talked about the theories of 3D printed bones related to clinical applications that he knew.

But after all, she is an outsider and may not be able to hit the nail on the head.

So much so that none of these experts and professors agreed.

They all expressed their opposition.

Lu Yuanzheng spoke forcefully: "Sorry to interrupt you all. Although I don't know anything about medicine or 3D printing, I come here often and have received at least a stack of critical illness notices. At the same time, I am also a soldier and I know my comrades. Rather than prolonging his life, I think he would rather try this new technology. Why not ask for his opinion?

You are all military doctors. On top of saving lives and healing the wounded, shouldn’t you be bolder and try more new things? "

Li Daoming secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Even though Li Daoming usually spoke recklessly to Lu Yuanzheng and the others, in front of these seniors and expert professors, he could only act as a good student.

Without the teacher's nod, he can't make the decision on many things.

After all, human life is at stake and we cannot act recklessly.

After listening to the general idea, Guo Jianye nodded without thinking and agreed to try the 3D printing that Xu Wen mentioned.

Lu Yuanzheng was not surprised by his choice.

Xu Wen was not surprised. From his surfing experience, it could be seen that Guo Jianye was a young man who dared to try new things. He would not really be willing to lie in bed for the rest of his life.

The old expert frowned and reiterated to him: "This operation has no precedent, and the possibility of failure is very high! Have you thought it through? If you don't try this printed bone, you can live well until you are old, but if it doesn't work, such as rejection or other reactions that are beyond our control, you may not be able to save your life."

Guo Jianye grinned: "Death is a matter of closing your eyes, but living like this for the rest of your life is more painful, right?"

He is only in his early twenties. How long will he lie down and die?

So a group of professionals, together with Xu Wen, a theoretical thinker, and the audience, started the second meeting.
