Chapter 225 - Don't Give up
Boom… The first loud sound was heard. Tang Yue felt the ground beneath his feet shake three times. He couldn't help but quicken his pace.
“Master, it seems like the enemy has already launched an attack.” Xiang Ann's eyes were bright. He did not seem afraid of war at all. Instead, he looked like a sparrow that wanted to try.
Tang Yue really did not want to say anything about him. Even though he had grown up a few years ago, he still had a childish heart that was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. This was the reason why he did not want to take him as a disciple back then. However, after a few years of observation, he gradually discovered the cuteness behind his persistence.
The location chosen by the infirmary was only one street away from the city wall. If the city gate was broken, their group would most likely die. Tang Yue looked at the empty street and waved his hand. “Get ready.”
“Yes!” Hundreds of white clothed doctors walked into their workshop in an orderly manner. Five people in a group. The five members of each group all had different strengths. It was Tang Yue's group to deal with all kinds of injuries.
Tang Yue's workshops were at the very front. Two temporary operating theaters were arranged in this room. The poison had been removed beforehand, and it was specially used to treat the injured who were the most seriously injured.
Xiang Ann was no longer his assistant. He could now take charge of everything. According to Tang Yue's assessment, Xiang Ann was no longer his assistant. He was also the most promising person to become a qualified surgeon.
His assistant was He. There was also an apprentice recruited by Huian Hall in the past two years. He was also Imperial Doctor Wu's grandnephew. Originally, he wanted to rely on his granduncle to learn medicine, but in the end, he was kicked to Huian Hall by Imperial Doctor Wu.
Tang Yue saw that he was hardworking and willing to learn. He brought him along when he went out for a consultation. He had also learned some skills in the past two years.
“Young master, this servant is very nervous…” He held his hands and paced around the room. A few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead during the cold weather.
Although the room wanted to burn the brazier for the patient's body, it was not so hot that it was sweating.
Tang Yue guarded the medicine in the three stoves and fanned them gently. “There's nothing to be nervous about. Just treat it as treating patients and saving lives. Go and check the gauze again. Divide the hemostatic medicine one by one.”
He saw that what he was supposed to do had been done by Tang Yue. His face was red in embarrassment. He was flustered for a while before he gradually forgot his nervousness.
“Doctor… Where is the doctor?” A loud roar was heard. Tang Yue put down his fan and walked out. He saw two young men carrying a stretcher running into the street.
These young men were organized by Tang Yue. They specially sent the wounded here. Each of them could receive ten sword coins a day. It was a very generous job.
Tang Yue lowered his head to check the wounded soldier. He had been shot. The arrow had been inserted into the seventh, eighth rib on his chest. It had sunk more than an inch into his body. Blood flowed all over his body. He said to the two young men, “Send him to the third medical room.”
The two young men did not recognize Tang Yue and did not know what the medical room was. However, they saw the flag with three words fluttering in the wind at a glance. Subconsciously, they carried the man to the third medical room.
In order to increase efficiency, Tang Yue had made a number for this row of rooms. A large flag was hung outside each room. The flag had a number written on it. The further ahead the room was, the more serious the patient was. The medical staff was arranged according to the corresponding standards.
With the first wounded soldier, soon there was a second. As time went by, more and more wounded soldiers were sent over. The entire street was busy. The smell of blood and medicine mixed together and spread out.
Gradually, some of the nearby civilians came over and saw this chaotic scene. Some people took the initiative to help, while others were scared to the point of turning around and running.
Tang Yue did not have the mood to pay attention to them. If he could help, he would arrange for them to boil hot water and brew medicine. These were the simplest tasks and needed people's help the most.
“Doctor… save my brother… save my brother…” A young man carrying a person rushed over. Both of their bodies were stained with blood. They were in a sorry state.
Tang Yue had just finished sewing the intestines of a wounded soldier and was about to suture the wound when the door of the operating theater was kicked open.
Tang Yue did not stop moving. The two assistants at the side were shocked. He rushed over and drove them out. “Hurry up and get out. This person hasn't been cured yet. Get in line outside.”
“No, my brother is dying. Save him first!” The young man's legs were like long legs on the ground. No matter how He pushed him, he didn't move at all.
He glanced at the wounded soldier on his back and touched his carotid artery. His face turned white. “You… your brother is already dead. There is no saving him.”
“Impossible! He was clearly talking to me just now.” The youth glared at the pair of cow eyes and fiercely said, “He's not dead! … How could he die? … He said that he would return home alive…”
The young man fell to the ground and hugged the person on his back to his chest. His tears fell silently and sadness filled the entire space.
“You… mourn!” He saw that the young man was crying so sadly that he was unable to get angry anymore. He could only console him, “A dead person cannot be revived…”
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Tang Yue call out to him, “He…” He turned his head and saw that Tang Yue was still focused on suturing. Without raising his head, he instructed him, “Give him ten sets of cardiovascular resuscitation and artificial respiration first. I'm almost done here.”
He was stunned for a moment. Then, he jumped up. He was at a loss as to what to do as he instructed the young man, “Quick, quickly carry him to the hospital bed over there.”
The young man wiped his tears and picked up the person in his arms. He took three steps and placed the person on the bed. Then, he stared at He's movements. When he saw He cut open the patient's clothes with a pair of scissors, he slightly frowned. When he saw He pinch the patient's nose and kiss his lips, the young man clenched his fists and almost pushed him away.
The young man subconsciously glanced at Tang Yue. His gaze fell on Tang Yue's hands. His hands were fair and slender, and his fingers were slender. Every movement was exceptionally beautiful.
As he looked down, the young man's eyes widened again. He saw a centipede-like wound that pierced through the wounded man's abdomen. It was hideous and terrifying, but judging from the man's heaving chest, it was obvious that he was still alive.
Just now, he had rushed inside with the person on his back. On one hand, this room was the closest to him, and on the other hand, he had heard that there was a godly doctor here. No matter how serious the wound was, it could still be saved. That was why he had rushed in recklessly.
Tang Yue finished his last step. He handed the work of applying the medicine to his assistant and walked to another hospital bed.
After He completed ten sets of cardiovascular resuscitation and artificial respiration, Tang Yue placed his ear on the patient's chest and listened for a while. Then, he touched the patient's pulse and shook his head. “No.”
The young man's eyes were red. He pulled Tang Yue away and pressed on the patient's chest again and again like He had done just now. After every fifteen compressions, he blew into the patient's mouth. Tang Yue wanted to stop him, but how could he know if it was okay if he didn't let him try?
“Lower your palm by half an inch. Use more strength. Yes. Take a deep breath before blowing. Try your best to blow as much air as you can…”
After another ten sets of artificial respiration, the young man lost his confidence. His arms powerlessly rested on the other party's chest as tears silently dripped down.
Tang Yue stared at his trembling hands and silently sighed. He could tell that the relationship between these two people was not ordinary. If he could be saved, he would also desperately want to save them.
“Don't give up. Continue!” Tang Yue said in a low voice.
According to the young man, the young man should be back soon. Unfortunately, there was no electricity here and he couldn't use electricity. He could only do his best to listen to the heaven's mandate.
Seconds and minutes passed. Just as Tang Yue was about to give up, the young man suddenly shouted, “Move! He moved. He moved…”
Tang Yue quickly pulled him away and listened to his opponent's weak heartbeat. The corner of his mouth revealed a smile, “Leave the rest to me. Please leave first.”
The young man had tears in his eyes. He turned around and walked out of the room. He squatted at the door like a statue.
The operation lasted for six hours. The oil lamps were switched one after another. The streets became more and more lively. Some civilians even heard that injured soldiers were sent here to see their relatives. Tears welled up in their eyes when they found their relatives. Those who did not find their relatives were even happier.
The fact that they did not appear here meant that most of them were still alive. This was the greatest comfort for their families.
“It's a ceasefire… It's a ceasefire… We won!” A series of shouts came from afar. Everyone heard it from the mouth. Immediately, the cheers resounded throughout the entire Qinyang City.
“We won?” Tang Yue's eyes turned black as he walked out. He thought he was hallucinating.
It was a scout who came to deliver the news. He waved his flag and shouted to spread the news. He ran to Tang Yue and kneeled down. “Thank you, Godly Doctor, for saving my father. We have won. The enemy has retreated.”
Tang Yue naturally did not know which of the people he saved was his father. However, he was very happy when he heard the enemy retreat. “Are there any casualties?”
“Don't worry. An hour ago, General Wang shot an arrow at the commander of the enemy, and the enemy's momentum was broken. They were defeated like a tide, and there were very few casualties on the battlefield.”
“Make way, let the lords drink some hot water and eat something.” A group of women pushed a cart over. They were responsible for cooking two meals a day. Tang Yue did not remember whether he had eaten lunch or not. When he smelled the fragrance of the rice, he shouted loudly.
The scout kowtowed three more times. He stood outside the window and looked inside. Then, he ran away with the flag in his hand. As he ran, he spread the news of his victory.
Everyone's faces were filled with joy. Although Tang Yue knew that this battle would not end so easily, it was a good thing that he had won the first battle.
He came over with a big bowl of rice porridge. “young master, you haven't eaten for a day. Hurry up and have some porridge. This servant will bring you some food.”
Tang Yue waved his hand. “No need. That's good.” He finished the porridge with a gulp. He wiped his lips and took off his coat and threw it to He. “You guys stay here. You have to change medicine and feed it on time. The two of you take turns to rest at night. I'm leaving.”
Tang Yue quickly walked towards the city gate. He first walked quickly, then gradually jogged. He urgently wanted to see that person. He wanted to see that person standing in front of him in perfect condition. He wanted to hug him tightly and feel his body temperature.
