Chapter 638: Shi Tai's amputation
Liu Dongyan asked nervously after a while: "Brother, have you driven away the ghost?"
"Of course yes, it turns out that Daoist Yiwen is so powerful!" Gui Ling'er was surprised and delighted, and took over the conversation and said, "Daoist, you can take me as an apprentice and teach me to learn spells." I think your spells work better than my master. ”
Yang Xianmao didn't know what had just happened, he didn't even know if the ghosts were coming, and of course he wasn't sure if it was the spell he cast to drive away these ghosts, anyway, after he cast that spell, the bone-chilling cold disappeared without a trace, but now was not the time to discuss this.
So Yang Xianmao hurriedly said: "What are you talking about, hurry up and see if there are any iron tools, after finding it, we can rescue your master in time, hurry up!"
Gui Ling'er hurriedly agreed, and began to search for the coffins one by one.
After touching it, I finally found an iron kettle from a coffin, and knocked on the bell, it was dark and I couldn't see clearly, but I could judge from the sound that it was an iron tool, and I quickly groped and handed it to Yang Xianmao.
After Yang Xianmao took it, he used his hand hard, brushed a few times to tear the iron kettle in half, and then stepped on it flat with his feet to make a piece of iron, and then grinded one side of the slice on the rock for a while to make it as sharp as possible.
Then, Yang Xianmao asked Gui Ling'er and Liu Dongyan to tie He Shitai's legs to death, found the location where He Shitai's artery passed in the upper part of the thigh where the amputation was to be performed, and made a cut with a knife made of iron sheets, reaching the artery and blood vessels.
He had been through countless autopsies and knew very well the location of the arteries in the human thigh, so this knife would not cut the arteries, but it could just reach the arteries.
Then, he pulled out a silk thread from the hem of Gui Ling'er's skirt, reached in and grabbed the arterial blood vessels, and tied a knot, so that when the leg was amputated, most of the blood vessels were directly broken, and the other blood vessels were tightly tied by the bandage, so as to ensure that the bleeding of the large blood vessels in the leg was basically controlled, and the leg would not die of excessive blood loss after the leg was removed.
After dealing with these, Yang Xianmao began to undergo the amputation.
Since Mrs. He's right leg was completely pressed by the stone below the thigh, he couldn't cut it off from the knee, so he could only cut it upwards to keep as much of her severed limb as possible.
Yang Xianmao asked Liu Dongyan and Gui Ling'er that neither of them brought flint, and Gui Ling'er searched her master and there was no flint, there was no way, only to operate in the dark, but because there was no need for fine sutures and the like, even in the dark night, Yang Xianmao was sure to complete the amputation.
He made an arc-shaped incision in the front and back of He Shi's thigh. At the midpoint of the inner and outer thighs, the skin and tendons are cut, the flap is free, and the upward retraction is cut to cut the muscles, nerves, and blood vessels in a circular way, and then the tympanic membrane is cut to protect the proximal muscles, and then the bone needs to be cut.
This is the most troublesome thing for him, because there is no bone saw, and time waits for no one, it is impossible to cut the hard bones with a knife made of iron pieces, and Yang Xianmao has only one way, which is to cut the leg bones with his palm.
It sounds scary, but Yang Xianmao really has no choice.
So Yang Xianmao groped with his hand to hold the break that had cut the muscle and reached the bone, stretched it in with his right palm, roughly determined the direction, took a deep breath, raised his hand and slashed down hard, and heard a click, He Shitai's bones were broken by him with one palm.
However, she was still in a state of complete anesthesia, so she didn't feel the pain, but her body moved with Yang Xianmao's strength.
After splitting the bones, Yang Xianmao did not have time to file the section, but simply removed the bone chips and periosteal fragments, and then immediately found the protruding blood vessels, bandaged them separately, and pulled out the sciatic nerve to cut it, and then loosened the tourniquet.
He took off his coat and wrapped the severed end in its entirety. The click sound of Yang Xianmao splitting bones just now, although Liu Dongyan and Gui Ling'er couldn't see it, they could roughly guess it, and they couldn't help but feel numb in their scalps.
Gui Ling'er hid her face and cried, but apart from this method, there was really no other way to save Master He. Even if Master He is still not out of danger now, it is difficult to say whether he can get out of danger or not.
Yang Xianmao said to Gui Ling'er: "You carry your master on your back, I will explore the way in front, let's go outside." When I was looking for the coffin just now, I took a general look at the cave, and it was not completely sealed by the collapse, so we should have a way out. ”
After that, Yang Xianmao groped and lifted He Shitai up and put it on Gui Ling'er's back, and then he took Liu Dongyan's hand, and Liu Dongyan helped Gui Ling'er on the side, and the three of them groped out.
Yang Xianmao roughly remembered the route in, because this was a narrow stone crack, the more you went out, the wider it became, although there were many rocks that fell, but it was not enough to block the wide crack entirely, they still found a passage from the gap in the falling rock, and finally saw the light coming in from the outside, followed the light, and finally came to the mouth of the cliff crack.
Yang Xianmao looked down and saw that the boat that had crossed the river just now had stopped on the other side of the river. It turned out that when the earthquake just happened, the ground shook and the rocks fell one after another, but fortunately, the boat at that time was parked in the middle of the river, some distance from the rocks, so it was not smashed. The boat boss hurriedly propped the boat up to the other side of the river.
Liu Dongyan shouted happily for the boat boss to hold the boat over. The captain of the boat also saw them, and there were no aftershocks, so he slowly propped the boat up, stopped in the middle first, and then leaned over to pick them up when they were almost down.
Yang Xianmao said to Gui Ling'er, "How is it? Can you go down?"
"No problem, I've tied my master to my back with a strap. ”
Yang Xianmao shook his head and said: "No, I can't take risks, the action you made when you came up just now, I found that you are not skilled enough in this kind of cliff climbing, once you fall down, both of you will die, this is too high." Well, give her to me, and I'll carry her down, and you can go down empty-handed. ”
In fact, Gui Ling'er was not sure in her heart at that time, she was relatively easy when she came up, but this kind of cliff is easy to go up and difficult to go down, not to mention that it is even more troublesome if she has someone with her. And although she wasn't hit by a big stone just now, she was still hit by several small stones, and her body was also in pain, far less powerful than when she came up just now. However, she still asked Yang Xianmao with some concern: "Can you do it?"
Yang Xianmao didn't speak, reached over to untie the belt, and took Master He off her back, but instead of carrying it on her back, she clamped her directly under her armpit with her hand, and said to them: "I'll go down first, you guys be careful and slow down, don't worry."
As he spoke, Yang Xianmao threw out a flying rope, hooked on the edge of the cliff, jumped out of the air, began to slow down when he fell to a certain height, and slowly bounced back, propped his feet on the rock, and grabbed the crack of the stone with one hand.
Then he retracted the zipline, hooked the crack in the rock, and continued to jump down, and so on, and soon fell to the bottom of the cliff. At this time, Gui Ling'er and Liu Dongyan on the edge of the cliff crack hadn't even had time to go down, and Yang Xianmao had already reached the bottom of the cliff.
The boss of the boat was so frightened that he hurriedly ordered his two sons to row, propped the boat to the bottom of the cliff, and took Yang Xianmao and He Shitai down. They were shocked when they saw that He Shitai had broken a leg.
Yang Xianmao looked up and saw that Liu Dongyan came down very quickly, while Gui Ling'er's speed was relatively slow, after all, she mainly learned Taoism, and martial arts were far inferior to Liu Dongyan, so Yang Xianmao immediately grabbed the cliff with a flying rope and climbed up, and soon arrived at Gui Ling'er's side, and said to her: "I'll take you down, you lie on my back." ”
Gui Ling'er was crawling down in fear, the difficulty of climbing down was far beyond her imagination, of course she was not polite when she heard Yang Xianmao's words, and with a hum, she lay on Yang Xianmao's back and hugged his neck with her hand.
Yang Xianmao used a zipline to fall quickly, and arrived at the bottom of the cliff faster than the leading Liu Dongyan and got on the boat. Immediately afterwards, Liu Dongyan also went to the bottom of the cliff and got on the boat.
Gui Ling'er said to the boat boss: "Hurry up and support the boat, hurry back, my master is injured and his leg is broken, if you are fast, I will reward you with another five taels of silver." ”
As soon as he heard this, the captain of the boat was excited, and immediately closed the anchor, and with a long penny, he rowed back. The two sons paddled desperately, although they were swimming against the current, but this section of the water was very gentle, and it was not very difficult, so they paddled up quite fast.
Yang Xianmao also took an oar to help row, and when Liu Dongyan and Gui Ling'er saw this, they also took a board to help row. Since there was only one spare oar on board, they had to remove the pads from the boat and use them as oars to row.
In this way, everyone worked together, and the speed was much faster, especially Yang Xianmao's paddle speed was super fast, and when others rowed an oar, he had already gone out with two or three oars, so that the boat was like a sharp sword and flew upstream.
Along the way, I saw that many mountains had fallen rocks, and one of them was a landslide, and half of the mountain was washed down. Fortunately, the river below is relatively fast, and it does not block the entire river, but the current becomes turbulent. Fortunately, they still survived very smoothly.
Finally, they rowed the boat to the Yinzhou pier.
Gui Ling'er didn't wait for Yang Xianmao's instructions, so she carried her master on her back, threw five taels of silver to the boat boss, and ran away. Yang Xianmao and Liu Dongyan followed closely and ran all the way back to Guijiazhuang.
Yang Xianmao asked Gui Ling'er to carry his master directly to his room, because his surgical instruments were all there, and it was not dark yet, and the light was relatively sufficient, so he could directly perform the operation.
They put the two square tables together to form a simple operating table, and placed Mrs. He on the table. Although she had been bandaged, she was bleeding, and after such a long time, her severed ends had been stained red with blood, and one of her faces had turned unusually pale from blood loss.
