Chapter 1195: Chapter 1195: The Village Surgery
Sun Xiaohu’s home, both inside and outside, was surrounded by villagers eager to watch the spectacle.
People craned their necks curiously, trying to peer through the thick curtains to see what was happening inside.
But inside the house, Lin Yifan was frowning deeply at the moment.
Performing surgery under such crude conditions was undoubtedly going to be quite challenging.
"Second Uncle, call Xizhu and ask him to bring the herbs I gathered yesterday. Also, contact the town clinic and have them send some anti-inflammatory injections. If the roads are blocked, let our people wait at the hill. They must be delivered within the next three hours. Also, find a way to get me some alcohol. If there’s really none, high-proof liquor will do."
Lin Yifan pondered for a moment and instructed his Second Uncle.
"Alright, I’ll find someone to take care of it."
Second Uncle agreed and picked up the phone to start contacting people.
"Huzi’s Mom, quickly clear the people out, get the pot boiling, and prepare to brew the medicine."
"Huzi’s Dad, go to every house and gather all the flashlights you can find, the more the better."
"Those outside, find me a sturdy square table and two planks."
Everyone was assigned tasks and quickly set off in different directions.
This was also a benefit of rural life—borrowing things and tidying up was incredibly fast.
Soon, a table was carried in from outside and placed in the inner room.
They also found several planks, assembling them into a makeshift operating table.
Second Uncle brought in two small bottles of alcohol and two buckets of high-proof liquor.
"This is all the alcohol we have. I got some high-proof liquor instead."
"Alright, let’s get the person onto the table."
Lin Yifan tied a dozen flashlights to the beams and made some simple adjustments.
Then he took the high-proof liquor and sprayed it around the room for basic disinfection.
Outside, Xizhu hurried over with a basket.
"Lin Yifan, I’ve brought the basket!"
Lin Yifan quickly took it, squatted by the stove, distinguishing and tossing herbs into the pot as he went.
"What is that?"
Shen Shiyao couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.
"Powder for Anesthesia, which is an anesthetic used in traditional Chinese medicine. Boil it for fifteen minutes and then bring it in."
After selecting the herbs, Lin Yifan set the basket aside.
He turned and walked back into the inner room, noting that the light outside the window had already disappeared.
"The upcoming surgery is a matter of life and death. There can be absolutely no mistakes. Everyone has to leave. Huzi’s Dad and Huzi’s Mom, you two stay by the door. Without my permission, no one is allowed to come in, or if something happens to your son, don’t blame me."
Lin Yifan picked up a sandalwood box with his left hand and an aluminum case with his right.
"Don’t worry. If anyone dares to come in, I’ll fight them to the death."
Huzi’s parents agreed and immediately started ushering people out.
Soon, only Lin Yifan and Sun Hu, lying on the operating table, remained in the room.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yifan opened the sandalwood box.
"Master, please bless me with your spirit."
He meticulously drew out the silver needles within and pricked dozens of them into the already unconscious Huzi.
Then he poured the Powder for Anesthesia into his mouth.
Once all the pre-surgery preparations were complete, Lin Yifan opened the small aluminum case.
Two sharp surgical knives lay quietly inside.
Only now was the surgery officially beginning.
In the quiet room, the lights shone brightly.
In the yard, villagers gathered in groups, some squatting, some standing.
"This Lin Yifan is certainly educated. He saw through those witches’ tricks at a glance. Truly amazing."
"Nonsense, he’s just too showy. I just saw it; Little Huzi was nearly out of breath, and yet he’s still showing off."
"If he can’t save him, Sun Xiaohu’s parents would surely tear down Lin Yifan’s house."
"Not just that. With the Old Sun Family’s demeanor, they’d surely extort hundreds of thousands. He’s just read too much and become foolish."
"He’s a good person but shouldn’t do foolish things. If it were my son, I’d surely give him a couple of slaps."
"How can you say that? If your child were lying there, could you be so carefree?"
"I would never be so ignorant like Huzi’s Mom. If my son were sick, he’d already be in the City."
The villagers’ chatter all reached Shen Shiyao’s ears.
Sitting on a stump, she anxiously watched the inner room.
It had already been over four hours, yet there wasn’t a peep from within.
Earlier, Lin Yifan had just come out to fetch anti-inflammatory needles and hadn’t said a word before going back in.
Shen Shiyao rubbed her hands nervously, watching Second Uncle: "Village Chief, do you think Yifan will be alright? What if he fails?"
"Lin Yifan is smart; he’ll definitely be alright."
Second Uncle replied, smoking his cigarette, looking inside the house.
Even he himself struggled to believe his words.
Xu Fengxian, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, was pacing back and forth in the yard, obviously agitated.
"Second Uncle, you should’ve stopped him a bit. Performing surgery in a place like this, without a medical license, if something goes wrong, it would be troublesome. Compensation is a small matter, but it could lead to jail time if it escalates."
Though she fretted like an ant on a hot pan, there was nothing she could do.
"He’s always been stubborn since he was a child. Once he decides on something, who can change his mind?"
Second Uncle’s words silenced Xu Fengxian and Shen Shiyao.
Each was lost in their thoughts, staring at the lights in the inner room.
Finally, when the door was pushed open once more, Lin Yifan slowly walked out.
He looked utterly exhausted, drenched in sweat.
Xu Fengxian was the first to rush over, Shen Shiyao close behind.
"How did it go?"
Everyone was waiting for him to announce the results.
"The person has been saved, but there’s still some fever. He should be alright by tomorrow morning, but he can’t be left alone for now. The medicine needs to be changed promptly. Once the roads clear, sending him to the County for a scan would be safest."
Lin Yifan’s words finally allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief.
Huzi’s Dad and Mom were naturally immensely grateful.
"I said, this college education isn’t for nothing, right? Yifan’s got a bright future ahead."
"I heard from the Village Chief that Lin Yifan isn’t planning on leaving this time, he’s staying in our village, so we’re blessed from now on."
"From now on, we won’t be afraid of running to any doctor recklessly. With Lin Yifan here, even King Yama would take a detour."
The villagers immediately broke into broad smiles.
The village’s WeChat group was in an uproar.
Only Lin Yifan retreated silently to a corner of the wall.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and leaned against the wall.
Shen Shiyao handed him a cup of water.
"Are you alright?"
"I’m fine, just a bit tired."
Lin Yifan took the cup and gulped down a few sips.
Only he knew the true level of danger involved in this surgery, a risk even experts from the Provincial City might not dare to take on.
Xu Fengxian was scrolling through the chat logs in the group, holding her phone.
"In the future, you absolutely shouldn’t involve yourself with such things. Look at what Old Li is saying in the WeChat group; he’s shamelessly claiming it was because he killed the Snake Demon that the person was fine. Li Family are even supporting him, utterly shameless."
Old Li was now prancing around in the WeChat group, clearly trying to take credit.
"Why don’t you just leave this village? Let’s go back to the Provincial City, and after another two years, get your doctor’s license first."
Shen Shiyao squatted next to Lin Yifan, whispering softly.
The complexities of rural life were beyond what she had imagined.
