Chapter 175 Feigning Indifference
After the wound is sutured, as long as the patient rests and gets through tonight without a high fever, it means they are out of danger. Tomorrow we can see whether the sutures have been effective.
"Prescribe some medicine."
The scribe accompanying Lin Chengzhi offered his reminders.
Lin Chengzhi nodded, completely unaware that he hadn't realized what was happening.
The live streaming system mainly focuses on Western medicine. Only after being reminded did I realize that after suturing the patient's wound, I still needed to prescribe medication.
“I’ll just give him the medicine,” Lin Chengzhi said, taking out a pill and handing it to the patient.
The patient paused for a moment, then took the food blankly and fed it into his mouth.
The patient's thought process was as follows: Why does Lin Chengzhi seem so unreliable to him?
Inside the room of the patient being treated by Lin Fengzhi—
Xia Mo withdrew her divine sense from Huangfu Qian's eyes and asked in a low voice, "Did you see that?"
Huangfu Qian nodded slightly, indicating that he had seen it.
Xia Mo whispered, "Even if a damaged brain is repaired, the damage left behind is still very serious. Shouldn't you investigate this aspect?"
Huangfu Qian understood and left temporarily, returning after a quarter of an hour.
The day is over...
Today, Lin Fengzhi performed suturing surgery on five injured people and administered medication. Now, it's just a matter of seeing how they fare tomorrow.
In fact, Xia Mo could tell the condition of the patients who were stitched up today just by scanning with her divine sense.
They won't die, but a small number of people will lose dexterity in their hands and feet.
"Do you have any medicine that can help people's bones and tendons be set?" Lin Fengzhi glanced at the patient whose hand had been stitched up and who was destined to be half-crippled for life, and asked Xia Mo in a low voice.
Xia Mo's lips twitched.
There are six people in the room!
She, Huangfu Qian, Lin Fengzhi, two Wensheng who were in charge of monitoring and recording, and the patient.
Although Lin Fengzhi lowered his voice, it was still clear enough for the six people in the room to hear him.
“My master has one, and he cherishes it very much. I heard that it takes a lifetime to exchange for it,” Xia Mo replied softly as well, deliberately saying that.
When Lin Fengzhi heard that he had to exchange his lifespan for it, his face turned pale instantly.
"What if the patient is willing to trade their lifespan for it?" Lin Fengzhi asked in a low voice.
“Okay, let’s exchange twenty years of lifespan for one pill,” Xia Mo nodded with a serious expression, indicating that it was feasible.
Lin Fengzhi shut up as soon as he heard that twenty years of lifespan could be exchanged for one pill.
He thought, "No one should be willing to switch, right?"
The patient in the same room overheard this. The patient's arm injury was caused by a fight. His eyes lit up, and he said, "Could I use someone else's lifespan?"
"No, the medicine will use up the lifespan of whoever it's used on," Xia Mo, disguised as a medicine boy, said innocently in a boy's voice.
Lin Fengzhi's expression darkened as he realized he had also taken the medicine: "Did I... also lose twenty years of my lifespan?"
A gentle smile at the end of summer.
Lin Fengzhi's expression hardened. He felt that he shouldn't waste his life on trivial matters! He wanted to use his limited life on more meaningful things!
Xia Mo glanced at Lin Fengzhi with an affirmative look in her eyes.
After all, they are chosen by this world to be blessed with great fortune, and they must have their own unique and rare qualities.
Upon hearing that he would have to trade twenty years of his life for a single pill, the patient fell silent.
The two scholars who were recording and monitoring looked at the notebooks in their hands, hesitating whether or not to record the conversation between Lin Fengzhi and Xia Mo.
“Nonsense, you actually believe that?” Huangfu Qian said in a low, hoarse voice.
Lin Fengzhi wanted to argue, how could that miraculous medicine be such nonsense? But the moment he met Huangfu Qian's gaze, he instantly shut his mouth.
"Medical skills can actually restore the dexterity of a person's hands and feet," Huangfu Qian added again in a low, hoarse voice that was unrecognizable from his original one.
Lin Feng subconsciously looked at Xia Mo, hoping to get an answer from her.
“Yes, once medical skills advance to a certain level, patients can regain the dexterity of their hands,” Xia Mo nodded affirmatively in a boy’s voice.
"Is the medical skill really that amazing?" Wen Sheng, who was taking notes, couldn't help but ask, holding the brush and notebook in his hand.
“Yes, definitely, but that kind of medical skill is not yet widespread. General Jiang’s decision to hold this medical competition also has the idea of helping doctors improve their skills,” Xia Mo nodded affirmatively.
The patient asked, "I need it now."
"That doctor charges 200,000 taels for each treatment. Do you have that much?" Xia Mo, with a boyish face, looked at the greedy patient with a half-smile.
There are all kinds of patients here.
Upon hearing the value of the treatment, the patient fell silent.
That night—
The three of them returned to the room where they were resting.
In late summer, Lin Fengzhi and Huangfu Qian lived on a separate floor.
Lin Fengzhi returned to his room first, but Huangfu Qian did not.
Huangfu Qian asked, "Is it really impossible to make that kind of miraculous medicine?"
"To be precise, that kind of medicine is becoming increasingly rare, unless one day I become powerful enough to travel to another world," Xia Mo said sincerely.
Then, Xia Mo remembered something and said, "The world of the alien invaders seems to have such amazing medical skills, but we haven't been able to develop that kind of machinery."
Huangfu Qian looked at Xia Mo thoughtfully and said with certainty, "Do you want to go to that other world?"
Xia Mo realized Huangfu Qian had seen through her thoughts. She didn't deny it, but shrugged and said, "My cultivation level is far from enough right now. What should I do? I'm so troubled."
Huangfu Qian walked back to his room and fell into deep thought.

The next day—
The health conditions of the 150 patients who received treatment yesterday have been released.
Of the 150 people, 20 doctors each received 5 points, while 10 doctors only received 3 points. Among the patients they treated, some had persistent high fever.
At this moment, Lin Chengzhi stepped forward and said, "I have medicine for persistent high fever after surgery! If they had taken one of those pills yesterday while they were being sutured, they wouldn't have such a high fever today!"
"And now? If you can help them recover, I, the general, can still give you a share for each patient," Jiang Chi said.
Lin Chengzhi looked at the screen, waiting for the live streaming system to give him an answer.
The live streaming system does have treatment methods for postoperative patients with high fever and life hanging by a thread, but these methods require the use of machinery and are beyond the technology of this world. The laws of this world do not allow it to be used in this world.
The live streaming system offered no solution, and Lin Chengzhi frowned.
“I can,” Lin Fengzhi stepped forward.
He treated patients during the day and made medicines at night, producing many pills that could enhance physical strength.
“Alright, you come here,” Jiang Chi nodded, looked at Lin Chengzhi, and said casually, “Doctor Lin Fengzhi is indeed better than Doctor Lin Chengzhi.”
Lin Chengzhi's face turned ashen again, but he dared not refute Jiang Chi.
Lin Fengzhi humbly replied, "No, no, we all have our own strengths."
Xia Mo used her divine sense to check Lin Chengzhi's main quest progress, which had dropped by two points.
She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
Xia Mo was happy to see the recovered luck, but she was upset about the live-streaming system that had lost luck.
