"In ancient times, Guan Gong scraped bones to cure poison. Today, he finally reappeared the unique skills of Hua Tuo." Daochang Ge said excitedly while inspecting the surgical instruments.
Xiao Rui's face was heavy, "This is different from scraping bones to cure poison. If you make a mistake in scraping bones to cure poison, you can survive just like cutting off your arm. This is using a knife on fragile lungs..."
Sun Simiao explained: "Theoretically, it is feasible. When Cao Cao suffered from a headache, Hua Tuo proposed to use a sharp ax to split his head, take out the headache, and then sew the head back on. Cao Cao thought that Hua Tuo deliberately planned the assassination like this, and thus He killed Hua Tuo by mistake. What a pity. How could he know that Hua Tuo is a medical idiot and only cares about patients? What he said was true. Alas..."
Du Ruhui said with a smile: "I don't blame Cao Cao for being suspicious. Just imagine who can completely trust the other person with his life? What's more, Cao Cao has a high and powerful position. If he split his head and couldn't sew it back, wouldn't he be dead?"
Xiao Rui joked: "Mr. Du, what do you mean by this is that you are also afraid? It's still too late for you to regret before I turn you upside down."
Du Ruhui waved his hand and said: "I, a dying person, have no worries, unlike Cao Cao. I won't live long without treatment, so why not give it a try, maybe I can save my life. Guys, don't be too nervous. Suicide note I have already written it, and at the same time, I have made preparations for the family to pretend to be old and mourn. You can go ahead and do whatever you want."
Daochang Ge quickly advised: "This is not possible, Mr. Du, if you want to cure the disease, in addition to the doctor's medical skills, the patient needs to have the desire to survive. Only if you want to survive, the body's potential will be destroyed." Excitement, medical skills, medicines and stones are all external assistance."
Du Ruhui smiled bitterly and said: "I understand, I haven't seen the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty yet, so I have to persist in living."
Xiao Rui interrupted everyone's chat, and the relaxed atmosphere in the room suddenly suffocated, "Du Xiang, take off your clothes when you are ready."
good!
Du Ruhui slowly took off his upper body. Xiao Rui reminded: "Take off everything, naked."
"ah?"
"Du Xiang, after this operation, you need to sleep and recuperate in this room until the lung wound has healed and you can breathe normally. I cannot judge the time of your coma. If it is three days and five days, you are We need help with urination and defecation, so..."
Du Ruhui's face turned red, and he sincerely thanked you, "I'm ashamed to ask you to serve me!"
"You're welcome, the doctor is rescuing people without any formalities. Let's get started."
Several people turned around to avoid it. Du Ruhui took off his lower body, lay down on his own, covered it with a sheet, and exposed his upper body.
"Wait!" Just when Xiao Rui was about to cover up the numbness, Du Ruhui stopped him, "Can you keep me awake?"
Xiao Rui shook his head: "No, such a major operation can only be done under general anesthesia. Otherwise, the human brain is awake and needs to consume a lot of nutrients. Now your whole body's nutrients need to be allocated to the lungs as much as possible, so... Du Xiang, aren’t you scared?”
"Ahem, I'm not scared, just a little nervous. I don't know if I can wake up from this sleep, so..." As he said that, Du Ruhui smiled calmly, "Come on!"
Xiao Rui covered Du Ruhui's mouth and nose with a towel soaked in hemp, and he passed out soon. The three people in the operating room looked at each other and started moving at the same time.
Xiao Rui was young, had the best martial arts skills, the steadiest hands, and the best understanding of human anatomy, so he performed the surgery. Sun Simiao was in charge of acupuncture and medicine, and Daoist Ge was in charge of instruments, disinfection and other chores.
They originally thought that Xiao Rui would be nervous about having an operation for the first time, but when they saw that he skillfully cut along the muscles with a sharp scalpel and damaged the patient's blood vessels in a very small amount, the two veterans were relieved.
The main blood vessels are not injured, only insignificant capillaries are injured. The patient will not bleed heavily, and it will not affect future healing.
To operate on the lungs, you need to incise the sternum and open it from the center to expose the entire lung lobes. Then the patient is removed, disinfected, given medicine, and sutured. Originally, opening the sternal tubercle requires a sharp blade or a sharp axe, but Xiao Rui doesn't need it. He has reached the pinnacle of martial arts. He has the power to split stone with a single wave of his hand. Therefore, when the scalpel cuts through the middle of the sternum, it is as crisp as a knife piercing paper. There was a clicking sound, and the patient's sternum opened in response, and the lung lobes inside were clearly visible, beating with the beat of the heart.
The hands of the two veteran doctors shook unconsciously. For many years of practicing medicine, this was the first time they could see the heart of a living person so intuitively. Is this Huatuo Surgery? amazing.
"Master, this black and red tumor is the affected area. Fortunately, it has not spread. I am ready to operate. If the patient has difficulty breathing later, I need you to stabilize it with acupuncture. After the malignant tumor is removed, sprinkle Apply the medicinal powder, and Uncle Master, you can feed the golden elixir to the patient to save his life. Then I will suture the sternum, and the rest is up to God."
Several people looked at each other, understood the sequence, and then nervously continued the operation.
Soon an hour passed, and the entire small courtyard could be heard. The two sons of the Du family were not afraid of the wind and frost, and they knelt in front of the altar table with expectant and pious faces.
Xiao Yu was sitting on a chair under the corridor, listening to what was going on in the room.
Yuan Tiangang was guarding the door of the small courtyard, his eyes slightly closed, holding Taoist spells with his hands, and silently reciting unknown Taoist mantras.
At this time, there were footsteps approaching in a hurry. Yuan Laodao opened his eyes and turned around to look. It was Gao Eunuch, Fang Xuanling and Fang Yiai.
After the two sides met each other, Yuan Laodao explained the situation in a low voice, meaning not to make any noise.
Several people came to the small courtyard, and Fang Yiai knelt at the altar table with Du He to pray. The two had known each other since childhood. At this time, they realized what it meant to be a good friend who shares the same difficulties. The room minister was very pleased.
"During the Chinese New Year, I was too busy. Alas, I still didn't make it in time to meet Keming. I hope he can survive this challenge." Fang Xuanling looked worriedly at the closed room.
The chamberlain Gao whispered to Du Gou and the two of them: "Your Majesty wanted to come in person to accompany Prime Minister Du, but something happened to stop him. He specially ordered the old slave to send peace incense and pray for Prime Minister Du. For the sake of Prime Minister Du, Your Majesty specially came The decree orders Daxingshan Temple to ferry only Prime Minister Du alone today. Therefore, these three peace incense sticks are even more precious."
Forehead……
The two Du brothers looked at me and I looked at you. They looked back at the operating room worriedly, as if they didn't dare to make a decision.
The high chamberlain asked in confusion: "You two young masters, why don't you take the incense to express your gratitude?"
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand to take it, "I will take it on their behalf. I will wait until Prime Minister Du recovers to fulfill his wish. My dear nephews, please thank your Majesty."
This is? The high chamberlain was puzzled.
Yuan Laodao explained in a low voice that just now the Prince Consort ordered the so-called peace incense to be thrown away and replaced it with mugwort. Even if it is the peace incense sent by His Majesty, it cannot delay the treatment inside, right?
Lao Gao, the chamberlain, was stunned, wondering why it was so small? Is peace incense bad? Is it true, or is it that the Prince Consort doesn’t like Buddhism? Did you say that on purpose? How should I explain to His Majesty when I get back?
The chamberlain Lao Gao is also a smart man. He has no faith, so it doesn't matter if he believes in Buddhism or Taoism. He knows that saving people is the first priority. The only one who can save Prime Minister Du at this time is the Prince Consort, and of course he still listens to the Prince Consort.
So he quickly changed his words: "I see, I didn't know it beforehand. But it doesn't matter. Your Majesty's intention is also to pray for Du Xiang. It doesn't matter what kind of incense you use. Wormwood will help Du Xiang recover, so let's use wormwood. Two. Young Master, please take the trouble to light three more sticks of mugwort incense, as a tribute to Your Majesty."
"This old slave will return to the palace now. His Majesty has said that he will burn incense and pray in the palace himself. I have to inform Your Majesty to change it to mugwort incense."
The two Du brothers kowtowed gratefully in return.
The chamberlain Lao Gao watched with his own eyes as the two lit three sticks of mugwort incense before turning and leaving.
But before they left the small courtyard, a cry of surprise came from inside the house. It seemed that something unexpected had happened, and everyone's hearts were lifted. How dare the chamberlain Lao Gao leave? They ran to the eaves together and listened carefully to what was going on inside the house.
