Sage Apothecary hesitated again. At this moment, Gu Ye interrupted, “Master, you also said that if we don’t take out the arrow, the Major General will only last two days at most. If you take the arrow out, you are at least 30% sure. One is a fatal situation, and the other has a 30% chance of survival. As for which to choose, I believe the Old General will make a wise decision.”
”Elder Brother Sage Apothecary, are you sure that you can save my grandson?” The Old General clenched his fists with pain in his eyes. If he was given the choice, he would rather be the one lying on the bed. His eldest grandson was highly skilled in martial arts and commanded soldiers like a god. His talent even surpassed him when he was young.
The one lying on the bed was the successor that he has devoted all his efforts and time to cultivate. Even in the Exiled Lands, he did not relax in teaching his eldest grandson. Could it be that all his efforts would end up in vain?
”Uh…” Sage Apothecary secretly looked at his disciple. When he saw her nodding confidently, he then straightened his back and said, “If it wasn’t for the few days of delay, this old man would be at least 50% sure. However, now that there is a 30% chance of saving the Major General, it should be no problem!”
If he must act, he should pretend like it. Disciple, ah, disciple, it’s easy-peasy for your master to cover for you!
”Please… Please pull out the arrow for my grandson!” Old General Chu finally made this difficult decision. “What do we need to do?”
”My master brought all the necessary equipment. Please wait patiently outside the house…” Gu Ye hurriedly cleared the crowd.
Everyone else went out, but the medic stood still. Seeing the master and apprentice looking at him in unison, he touched his nose in embarrassment and said, “I’m thinking, you may need a helping hand. I am quite proficient in treating fatal war injuries.”
”No, having my apprentice to help this old man is enough,” Sage Apothecary refused. Just kidding. If he were to stick here, then wouldn’t his good apprentice’s secrets be exposed?
Seeing that the military doctor was still determined to argue, Gu Ye said impatiently, “Master is going to use Hua Tuo’s secret technique, so it’s really inconvenient to reveal it!”
When the military doctor heard the words “Hua Tuo’s Secret Technique”, he was stunned for a moment. However, that strange brilliance in his eyes gradually faded. Since it was a secret technique, it must be kept secret. What a pity. Otherwise he could learn a new technique, enough for him to enjoy for a lifetime. The military doctor reluctantly left the room.
Gu Ye closed the door and used her medical kit as a cover. She took out a powerful disinfectant from the space and sprayed it on every corner of the room. Sage Apothecary asked curiously, “What is this?”
”Every corner of the room is filled with germs that are invisible to the human eye. The patient’s wound is contaminated. The lighter the impact of his recovery, the heavier it will fester and become infected. This is to kill those bacteria. Master, take this and spray some on you and me.” Gu Ye was increasingly becoming open to this cheap master. Her intuition told her that her Master would not harm her.
Sage Apothecary followed her example, pressed the nozzle lightly, and accidentally sprayed his face. He wiped a hand to his face, quickly mastered the knack of spraying disinfectant solution, sprayed himself, and also helped spraying his apprentice.
When he looked up, he saw a strange transparent bottle in his disciple’s hand, which was filled with clean water. It also has a long transparent hose, one end was inserted into the transparent bottle, and the other end was connected to a needle. He saw his disciple stick the needle into the back of the injured man’s hand.
”This is normal saline. The patient bled too much and needed to be hydrated,” Gu Ye explained the movements of her hands, but she didn’t stop for a moment. “In the operation later, blood transfusion may be required. Master, please let the Old General first find a few able-bodied soldiers to come and test for blood.”
”Blood? You mean to channel other people’s blood into the Major General’s body?” Sage Apothecary’s eyes widened, expressing his disbelief. “They’re not blood relatives. Can blood still be transfused to others? “
”Of course! There are four main types of blood: A, B, AB, and O. Some types of blood are more common, while others are very rare. I hope the Major General does not belong to the Rh-negative blood type! “Gu Ye swiftly used the test strip to find out the Major General’s blood type, and was slightly relieved — Fortunately, he’s type O.
She picked up the equipment for drawing blood, opened the door and saw the Old General’s generous expression. He said loudly, “Little girl, use my blood! I am his grandfather. Our blood is definitely a match!”
Without thinking about it, Gu Ye refused, “No, you are too old and your blood is unqualified. The blood of young people is vigorous, and the blood quality is good!”
Gu Xiao quickly stepped forward and said, “I’m a dozen years younger than the Old General. Ye’er, can you check if my blood can be used?”
Gu Ye collected a little blood from him, and after checking, she shook her head and said, “No! Grandpa, your blood is type A and cannot be used!”
”Use mine!”
”Major General saved my life. I’m willing to give all my blood to him!”
”I’m in good health, use my blood!”
….
As soon as the news that the Major General needed blood to save his life spread, a commotion arose outside the courtyard. More than a dozen young and strapping soldiers came in, and among them was the Adjutant General who brought the Sage Apothecary and his disciple over.
After blood tests, three blood donors were selected. Their blood type was the same as that of the Major General. It also happened that the Adjutant General Huang’s blood type was O. Like Gu Xiao, he was originally a guard next to the Old General, and he almost grew up watching the Major General. This time, the Major General would have escaped being hurt so badly if it wasn’t to save him. Even if he was asked to donate all his blood, he would be willing.
Seeing his firm attitude, Gu Ye drew 400cc of blood from him. She said to the other two soldiers, “Wait here for a moment. If the blood is not enough, you will be needed later.”
”Little Doctor, how can such little blood be enough? Take a little more! Adjutant General Huang stretched out his arm and demanded earnestly.
”The amount of blood drawn is within a safe range. Any more and it will affect your body,” Gu Ye explained.
Adjutant General Huang said decisively, “I’m not afraid! Bring it on!”
