Chapter 427 - Chapter 427 Chapter 291 The Creator of Miracles

Chapter 427: Chapter 291 The Creator of Miracles Chapter 427: Chapter 291 The Creator of Miracles At the top floor of the Book Tower where Mr. Ban Shan resided.

Yuan Bao, standing behind Zhou Mu, received a look from Gu Changsheng and couldn’t help but feel a jolt at the bottom of his heart; hesitantly, he glanced at his master and stammered, “Master, why do I feel like Lady Changsheng is watching us?”

Zhou Mu’s face was dark as ink, and his deep, dark eyes stared solemnly at the brightly lit tent as he slowly spoke, “She is indeed watching us.”

His Changsheng, with a perception and acumen far beyond ordinary people…

She must have sensed him!

“Heavens! Lady Changsheng can see us from such a distance! Is she really human?” Yuan Bao marveled while estimating the distance between their location and where Lady Changsheng was situated.

Mother! Lady Changsheng is forever such a non-human existence! At such a distance, even a master of the Internal arts might not be able to sense them, right?

Suddenly, Yuan Bao came to a realization that Lady Changsheng could never be measured by the standards of ordinary people!

Yuan Bao had never been one to stay cloistered at home without worldly experience, but only after meeting Lady Changsheng did he realize that his knowledge was far from sufficient, for she always managed to continuously refresh his understanding…

While pondering, Yuan Bao anxiously looked towards the direction of the tent and timidly asked, “Master, will Lord Tan Nv be alright?”

That evening, he had received a letter from Shang Xie, stating that Lady Changsheng faced a blood disaster, which had scared him terribly!

His master was even more frightened and had immediately taken Shang Xie away unawares to inquire thoroughly, only to discover that Lady Changsheng’s “blood disaster” was merely a superficial scrape. Only then did his master feel relieved…

But what shocked them was that the assailant turned out to be a master of Miaojiang’s Gu sorcery!

Moreover, this person was sent by Miss Huo!

Miss Huo, being a noble lady of the Capital City, having such a deeply hidden, exceptional master by her side was something they could have never anticipated!

A trace of grimness flickered through Zhou Mu’s eyes as he spoke in a low voice, “Tan Nv will certainly be fine, with Changsheng stepping in, Tan Nv will surely be able to cling to life…”

Hearing this, Yuan Bao nodded hurriedly, as if convincing himself, he kept repeating, “Lord Tan Nv will certainly be fine! She must be fine…”

Yuan Bao couldn’t help but mutter on the sidelines, but Zhou Mu’s gorgeous and alluring lips were tightly pursed, his brows also furrowed deeply.

Just now, he had seen a trace of murderous intent in his Changsheng’s eyes…

…

“Yhan Ting, you’ve followed Zhou Mu in battles, your reputation for killing makes people tremble at the mere mention. You must not be a faint-hearted person. I hope you can keep calm and coordinate well with my movements! I do not want any sound or movement to interrupt our surgery!”

Tan Nv lay flat on the ground, covered with thick white cloth, while the Powder for Anesthesia took effect, her brows now relaxed.

However, due to excessive blood loss, Tan Nv’s complexion and lips were extremely pale.

Yhan Ting, following Gu Changsheng’s instructions, hung the skin bag filled with fresh blood on the erected wooden frame and spoke with a solemn face, “My lord, rest assured, your subordinate will not let you down!”

Half of his face hidden behind a mask, Gu Changsheng nodded gravely, “My initial diagnosis is internal bleeding due to organ rupture, and I suspect a rupture near the cardiac end of the lung, so first we’ll perform an exploratory laparotomy to confirm the ruptured organ, then deal with other responses.”

“Yhan Ting, you will assist me in the surgery, Dong Lei, you will help both of us!” said Gu Changsheng as he lifted the kitchen maid’s upper clothing, his fingers slowly tracing the incision marks on her chest, “You may never see living organs in your lifetime, but don’t be afraid, Lord Tan Nv will be alright! We will definitely save her!”

“Yes!” Yhan Ting and Dong Lei answered with a resounding voice.

“Then, let us begin!” Gu Changsheng said as he extended his right hand, “Scalpel!”

Upon hearing this, Dong Lei immediately placed the scalpel in his hand.

“Hemostatic forceps! Retraction fixator! Yhan Ting, help me!” Gu Changsheng’s bloodied hand issued rapid and precise commands.

Yhan Ting didn’t even have time to think, instinctively following Gu Changsheng’s steps, proceeding step by step.

“Zila zila…”

Suddenly, a strange silence enveloped the tent from outside.

“What… what are they doing?” Hu Tiandong moved closer to his father in horror, as he seemed to hear the sound of bone sawing, which was eerily unsettling…

Having donated blood himself, Hu Yihai’s lips were a bit pale, but that did not stop him from staring unblinkingly at the three busy figures in the tent. Hearing his son’s movement, Hu Yihai warned in an impatient, lowered voice, “You coward, keep it down, don’t disturb Lady Changsheng’s operation!”

“Listening to these noises, they’re really opening the chest…” Elder Xu spoke uncertainly next to Hu Yihai.

“Lady Changsheng said she was going to saw through the ribs and then inspect the organs… It wasn’t just talk; she is actually sawing through a person’s ribs!” Hu Yihai said, tightly clenching his fingers.

To saw open the ribs and expose the chest – what kind of matter was that? If someone could be saved after undergoing such surgery, it would be miraculous!

“Godfather, it hurts like hell to just knock and bump into things, and if they’re sawing open the ribs, leaving a huge gash in the chest, wouldn’t that be agonizingly painful?” Hu Tiandong shuddered in empathy as he spoke.

The thought alone was frightening! Too terrifying!

Finally, Hu Yihai took his eyes off the tent, gave his son a disdainful glare, then turned his gaze back to the tent.

To witness a miracle, how fortunate they were! To miss such a rare opportunity, even for an instant, would be unforgivable!

Gu Changsheng was drenched in cold sweat, his eyes unblinkingly fixed on the opened abdominal cavity, carefully investigating.

Dong Lei, quick-witted, helped wipe away the sweat about to fall from her lady’s face, knowing from her teachings that not even sweat droplets should fall onto the patient during surgery, because they carry germs!

After initially panicking upon seeing a body opened up, Dong Lei, bold and careful, was no longer as frightened as before.

It turned out that even without Sister Qiu and Sister Cui, she could assist her lady! She truly was a useful kitchen maid!

Dong Lei didn’t even have time to feel self-satisfied, for she was busy, dutifully handing over the tools her lady requested without hesitation, while also attending to the flowing blood…

“Phew… such a relief!”

After inspecting the abdominal cavity and confirming the liver and spleen were intact, Gu Changsheng, drenched in sweat, heaved a sigh of relief.

With the liver and spleen intact, only the lungs remained!

Compared to ruptured liver or spleen, damaged lungs were undoubtedly the easiest to treat!

“Thoracic exploration!” Gu Changsheng quickly muttered, and his blood-soaked hands touched the skin near the heart vessels, feeling the sluggish but orderly beating under his fingertips, Gu Changsheng felt as if he too had been reborn.

Yhan Ting watched as Gu Changsheng’s hands maneuvered within Lord Tan Nv’s exposed chest, feeling utterly astonished.

He had unhesitatingly beheaded enemies, cut them in half at the waist, and seen their colorful internal organs mixed with blood spilling out… but those were dead people! People destined to die!

Yet now, he was absolutely certain that Lord Tan Nv was still alive; he could feel the faint breath of life emanating from her!

Even though it was faint, she was still alive after all!

There’s a difference between the living and the dead!

Lady Changsheng dared! For a woman to possess such heaven-defying courage, it truly inspired awe to the core!

“This is it!”

Gu Changsheng saw the damaged and bleeding left lung, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes!

“Prepare for lower lobectomy of the left lung!”

“Suction device!”

“Drainage tube!”

“Vascular clamp!”

Dong Lei, like a spinning top, kept handing over the items Gu Changsheng called out for, while receiving back the unused instruments from her hands.

“Rib fixation!”

“Wire!”

“External wound suturing!”

“Suture needle!”

…

Outside the tent, everyone held their breath and focused, not even daring to breathe too loudly for fear of missing a word.

“The surgery is almost finished!” The moment Uncle Song heard the request for the suture needle, he stood up excitedly.

Getting to the suturing step indicated the surgery was nearing its conclusion!

His wife would soon come out!

Time trickled by, and the physicians outside the tent didn’t know how long they had been standing; they only felt that it was worth the wait!

After a while longer, Gu Changsheng finally emerged, supported by Dong Lei, her body soaked in blood.

The white surgeon gown she wore was now spotted with bloodstains, and the hair at her temples was also damp with sweat…

Upon seeing her emerge, the other physicians quickly moved closer to her direction.

Only with this movement did they discover that half of their bodies were stiff…

If they were so affected merely standing outside the tent, what about Lady Changsheng who had been busy with the surgery?

One could only imagine her exhaustion…

“The surgery was very successful, there was no blood rejection reaction, and the patient’s vitals are normal. However, right now is the critical postoperative period. Whether she can safely recover, we will have to wait until tomorrow to know,” Gu Changsheng said, her face tired but the corners of her mouth curling up with a relieved smile.

She had done it! She really had done it!

In this ancient era, devoid of any sophisticated equipment, she had perfectly completed thoracic surgery!

Gu Changsheng had done it!

Upon hearing this, everyone widened their eyes, letting out a relieved sigh, their faces flushing with excitement.

“Severe injuries to all five organs! Opening the cavity for blood transfusion to save a life! Lady Changsheng, you have created another medical miracle!”

“With no equivalent in history and none to come, Lady Changsheng, you truly are a creator of miracles!”

“…”

Everyone’s exclamations of surprise and delight went on and on; it was a tremendous miracle! Such a severe injury, located internally, yet still curable!

“Lady Changsheng! Please accept our bow of respect!”

“Lady Changsheng! Please accept our bow of respect!”

Gu Changsheng, watching dozens of people bowing in bits and pieces, had an air of confidence on her face and involuntarily looked towards the top floor of the Book Tower.

He saw, didn’t he?
