Wednesday morning.
Jiang Ning asked for leave for his last two classes and first rode his bike back to his rented house.
On the cement floor of the kitchen, there was a green magic circle printed on it. In the circle was a flowerpot with a young bamboo planted in it.
Green spiritual energy emerged from the formation, continuously nourishing the bamboo.
This young bamboo has lush branches and leaves with bright colors, and looks full of vitality.
Jiang Ning said: "It's just right for use as medicine."
He rubbed out a ball of spiritual fire and threw it towards the bamboo. The terrifyingly high temperature instantly burned it up, leaving only a ball of turbid green liquid.
The spiritual fire wrapped around the green liquid. At this time, the temperature of the spiritual fire was very low and did not evaporate it.
This is the bamboo that Jiang Ning nurtured using the 'Mu Yi Formation'. Its essence has the effect of relieving pain and accelerating wound recovery.
In the Luoyun Sect where Jiang Ning used to be, there were fairy bamboos planted halfway up the mountain on the Fairy Bamboo Peak. If mortals consumed those bamboos, they could regenerate broken bones.
However, given Jiang Ning's current conditions, due to the environment and time constraints, he cannot cultivate it in such a hurry.
He went to the river to pick a bamboo seedling and raised it using the Mu Yi Ling Formation for three days.
However, the current efficacy of the medicine is sufficient, so it is just right to give it to Aunt Gu, and the doctor will not suspect anything.
The spiritual fire burned the spiritual liquid, and some black impurities appeared. Jiang Ning used his spiritual energy to pick them out, and then continued to burn until the green liquid turned transparent.
Jiang Ning opened the jade bottle and led it in.
…
Yuzhou Third Hospital.
In Ward No. 5, as the operation time approached, a tense atmosphere filled the air.
Xue Yuantong sat by the bed, saying nothing.
Jiang Ning leaned against the door. Xue Yuantong didn't come home to cook at noon, so he had no food to eat. He was too lazy to cook, so he planned to wait until the operation was over and then go out to buy something.
"Bed 36, Bed 36, let's go. Bring your medical records and fracture fragments with you, and we'll go to the operating room." An older doctor came over with a blue folder and called out to people.
Xue Yuantong supported Aunt Gu and followed, and Jiang Ning also took a step forward.
I walked through the corridor and took the elevator. The operating room was on the fourth floor.
As the elevator door opened, a hall appeared in front of us. There were many family members sitting on benches waiting, some were excited and nervous, some were worried and expectant, with all kinds of expressions.
"Wait a moment, they are preparing inside."
Several people were sitting on a bench, and a younger doctor came over:
"Do you need a pain pump?"
"What is that?" Xue Yuantong asked.
"It's just like the intravenous drip we usually get. This can relieve the pain of the wound after surgery and make you feel better."
"Many patients use this. A bottle of analgesic pump costs 700 yuan and cannot be reimbursed. Do you want to use it?"
Xue Yuantong was about to speak when Aunt Gu said:
"Thank you, but that's okay."
"Okay." The young doctor turned back.
Aunt Gu didn't think too much about it. If she could save 700 yuan by enduring the pain once, she would definitely be willing to do it.
After a while, the door of the operating room opened and Aunt Gu was called in.
Xue Yuantong looked at the closed operating room door and sat back on the bench.
Jiang Ning spread his spiritual awareness to prevent any accidents.
In fact, he had considered giving the Lingzhu Liquid to Aunt Gu before the operation, but the Lingzhu Liquid was best used during the recovery period.
The fracture plate implantation surgery requires cutting the skin and flesh, moving aside the nerves, cutting the periosteum, using an electric drill to drill several holes in the bone, and then screwing the plate to the bone. It involves a lot of manipulation, and the powerful restorative effect of Lingzhu Liquid may affect the doctor's performance.
Moreover, the patient must not eat or drink for a period of time before the operation.
Jiang Ning spread out his spiritual sense. If he really found something unusual, in order not to make Xue Yuantong sad, he might use some methods to save Aunt Gu's life.
This is the worst-case scenario. With the level of modern medical technology, such a thing would only happen if one is extremely unlucky.
In fact, after a long wait of three hours, the operation was successfully completed.
The nursing bed was pushed out of the operating room. Xue Yuantong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his mother lying on it with her eyes closed.
Next came the elderly doctor, pushing the nursing bed to the ward.
"Make way, make way!"
"Help me carry the patient to the bed."
Several young nurses came over, moved Aunt Gu to the bed, brought a machine that looked like a small TV, connected it to Aunt Gu, and then placed an oxygen tank on her.
After a while, the nurse finished her work and said:
"Within six hours, you are not allowed to drink water or eat, and you are not allowed to raise the bed."
Next to bed 36, bed 37, lives a man in his sixties.
The old man looked at the busyness here and sighed, "What a suffering!"
The lady on the bed opposite said, "That's right. It makes me angry just thinking about it. What about my legs?"
"That old man wouldn't listen to me and insisted on driving so fast!"
Xue Yuantong listened to the two people talking and thought that it had started again.
During the few days she had stayed in the hospital, she had already gotten to know the conditions of the patients in the other beds, and she had a hot temper towards the aunt in the opposite bed.
Her husband drove a tractor and took her to sell grain. Xue Yuantong met the aunt's husband once the day before yesterday. He was a taciturn old man.
The silent old man drove the tractor very fast. The aunt sitting behind the tractor asked him to drive slower, but he didn't listen and continued to accelerate. Then the tire burst and the tractor fell into the ditch on the side of the road. The old man was not seriously injured, but the aunt sent him to the hospital.
On average, the aunt scolds her husband more than eight times a day, and each time lasts from three minutes to half an hour, depending on whether the patients around her try to dissuade her.
The old man in bed 37 had a broken spine, fortunately it was not serious, but he could only lie in bed every day and had to be fed by others.
He is from Tu County. People from Tu County have always had a sense of superiority and don't look down on Yuzhou.
Every day the old man either scolded the doctor or praised Tu County for being so great. Until one day, perhaps because he praised too much, the son of the woman in the bed opposite him couldn't stand it anymore and said:
"You Tu County is so powerful, why did you come to the Third Hospital in the middle of the night instead of seeing a doctor in your county hospital?"
The old man was so angry that he sat up from the bed and started to curse at the young man. Everyone in the ward was shocked. You know, the old man had a fractured spine and could only lie in bed to recuperate.
At this moment, the young nurse came over with a machine to measure the patient's blood pressure. When it was the old man's turn, he waved his hand:
"I won't take the test, I won't take the test, you guys are charging me exorbitant fees, it costs me dozens of dollars to take the test!"
The young nurse was helpless and said, "This is what the doctor asked. You must take the test!"
"I won't take the test. Ask your head nurse to come over and I won't take the test either."
The young nurse took the machine and went to complain.
Then the head nurse came over and scolded the old man, and then scared him again, saying that if something happened it would be very dangerous. The old man kept quiet and cooperated with the test obediently.
Xue Yuantong looked at Aunt Gu and found that she was awake:
"Mom, how do you feel?"
Aunt Gu's mouth was a little dry: "It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy."
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
It really doesn't hurt because the anesthetic effect has not worn off yet.
Xue Yuantong was guarding the infusion and couldn't leave.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Jiang Ning said, "I'll go buy some food. Let's eat first."
When he came back from buying food, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time for the two of them to eat.
The uncle in the bed across from me was howling:
"Hungry, very hungry. I haven't eaten since twelve o'clock last night."
He broke his collarbone while playing football and just came out of the operating room not long ago. He is still unable to eat.
The son of the aunt on the opposite bed said happily:
"Uncle, will you still play football in the future?"
Uncle: "If I kick you again, I'll be a dog."
