Chapter 177: Ugly Girl

Yang Xianmao shook her head with a wry smile and said, "I am reviewing my previous surgical plan, if I directly use an external small intestinal stoma at that time, her chances of survival should be at least thirty percent, but when I took over, her abdominal infection was already very serious, endangering many organs in her body." She was originally a very critical patient, and it was reasonable that she could not be cured, I was just reflecting on it, and I need to be more cautious when I operate on others in the future. ”

Han Xue'e said: "Your requirements for yourself are too high, under the circumstances at that time, there is no way to think about it carefully, and you also said that this is your first case of treating such a critical, abdominal infection patient, there is no precedent to follow, so I can't blame you, don't blame yourself too much, maybe God will open her eyes and let her come back to life." ”

Yang Xianmao shook his head and smiled bitterly. Not talking.

Yang Xianmao's fears were soon confirmed, and five days later, Mrs. Zhu died of a severe systemic infection.

After learning that Mrs. Zhu had died, Yang Mingde and his wife were still very angry with the Zhu couple, but now that their husband and wife died tragically and their family wealth was burned away, they were somewhat sympathetic, and after getting the news, they sighed for a long time.

Yang Xianmao has been in a bad mood these days, not because of Mrs. Zhu's affairs, but because of this failed operation.

He found that no matter how many corpses he dissected, how many related surgeries he performed on the cadavers, and how many techniques he practiced, he could not learn this lack of clinical experience from autopsy and the exercises done on the cadavers.

After this incident, he had a good talk with Dr. Han and reached a line that would be beneficial to both parties, that is, once Dr. Han found that the patient who needed surgical treatment could not be cured with ordinary decoction, especially serious internal injuries, he suggested that the patient's family transfer the patient to the Yang family's Huichun Hall for treatment, if the patient did not agree, but was willing to undergo surgery, Yang Xianmao would come to the consultation. Surgery on a patient at the Han Medical Center. In this way, it not only solves the treatment of several patients, but also increases the chance of Yang Xianmao undergoing surgery.

Because Divine Doctor Han has the word Divine Doctor as a support after all, of course, there are many more patients treated here than Yang Xianmao's Rejuvenation Hall, and others have much more trust in the words of the Divine Doctor. Yang Xianmao told them that they were going to have surgery, and they might not dare to accept it, but if it was Doctor Han, they would often listen to such a suggestion.

…………

Yang Xianmao's childhood friend Tie Dan is very busy these days.

Xuanzhou suffered a flood disaster that is rare in a century, many people died, a large number of fertile fields were washed away, although the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty ordered to open a warehouse for relief of grain, but for a large number of disaster victims is still a drop in the bucket, many people are displaced, starvation, and die.

There are countless victims in Xuanzhou City, the streets and alleys are everywhere, there are disaster victims and beggars who have closed down the streets every day, as few as a few, as dozens of people, every day as an apprentice's iron egg, they have to follow the master to pull the cart, and go all over the street to collect and bury these unclaimed corpses.

This morning, Tie Dan and a few brothers and sisters divided the streets to collect the body, because he had more strength, so he pulled a cart and walked along a street to see the people who died on the side of the road, and he had to go up to check it, if it was determined that he was dead, and his family had no money or could not afford to buy it, so he carried the body to the cart and transported it to the mass grave outside the city for burial.

This kind of corpse collection work is very necessary, if the corpse is left to rot, it will spread the plague, once it causes a large-scale plague epidemic, the city does not know how many people will die, so they know that they have a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, and they dare not delay, as long as they get the news, they will have to collect the corpse overnight, if no one reports, they will also go to the street every day to patrol, take the initiative to find the corpse that no one has buried after the death.

That morning, Yang Xianmao pulled a cart and walked along a street. It was raining, sometimes heavy and sometimes light. He had a hat and a coat of clothes, and there were already two bodies on the cart, and he had to walk all the way to the end of the street, carry the corpses he met along the way to the car, and then pull the corpses out of the city to be buried.

The torrential rain has not stopped, and it has caused water to accumulate in many parts of the city. And the street he walked on was relatively low-lying, so the water had already overflowed to his calves, and there were filthy things floating in the water, and there was a foul smell.

However, Tie Dan has become accustomed to such a working environment. He dragged the cart and walked slowly forward, his eyes looking east and west. Suddenly, he heard a woman's cry coming from an alley. This crying is usually a sign that someone is sick or dying. So he dragged the cart to the mouth of the alley and took a look. I saw the corpse of a thin middle-aged man lying upright on the stone slab of the alley above the water.

Iron Egg has learned to judge from the person's posture whether the person is dead or critically ill. When he saw the strange posture of the middle-aged man, he concluded that he was dead, and at least for a night, because the body was already stiff.

Next to the corpse, sat a middle-aged woman, staring blankly at the garbage floating on the water. Next to the corpse, a young girl and two and a half children were squatting, caressing the corpse and crying.

Tie Dan put the cart away, walked over and said, "Is the person already dead? Do you want to help transport it to the mass grave outside the city for burial? I am the work of the yamen." Then Tie Dan took out the waist card from his waist and shook it.

The middle-aged woman with dull eyes slowly retracted her gaze, looked at Tie Dan, and said bitterly: "Thank you, little brother, I bother you to transport the bones of the child and his father to be buried, we don't have the strength to move it, and we don't have the money to bury it." ”

Tie Dan listens to their accent is the local accent of Xuanzhou City, although the accent of each county in Xuanzhou City is almost the same, but the people in Xuanzhou City can often hear the small differences, especially some tail sounds and words. Among the people living on the streets, there are relatively few locals. So Tie Dan was a little curious and asked, "Are you from Xuanzhou Mansion?"

The woman nodded and said, "Yes, I originally opened a tofu workshop, but in order to treat the child's father, he sold the workshop, owed usury, and could only live on the streets, and the child's father still died......

Tie Dan didn't feel much, because he didn't know how much he had heard such a tragic story in the years he had been collecting corpses for others, and he had heard even more tragic stories than this, and he had already become numb, so he nodded, didn't say a word, and went to prepare to carry the corpse onto the cart.

The girl next to the corpse cried and hugged the corpse, turning her head to look at him pleadingly. In fact, the girl also knew that she had no money to handle the funeral if she left her father's body, but the father-daughter relationship was deep, and she was reluctant to let her father's bones be transported away by a stranger and buried in a mass grave.

Tie Dan frowned and was about to scold, but suddenly found that this girl looked quite good, although she had a vegetable face because of malnutrition, but her facial features were quite upright, but unfortunately, there was a scar on her forehead, which was deep and long, and destroyed the whole face.

Tie Dan glanced at him a few times, and then comforted him softly: "Your father is dead, stay like this, on such a hot day, his bones will soon rot, and it will spread the plague, if you get sick because of this, it will be troublesome, or leave it to me, I will bury it for you, we don't charge money for collecting corpses." ”

The girl shook her head desperately, whining and crying.

The middle-aged woman was a little annoyed, kicked the girl and said, "Ugly girl, let go of your father, let the little brother carry it away, don't you smell the stench of your father?

The girl still cried and shook her head, without saying anything, the middle-aged woman kicked him twice, he still wouldn't let go, the middle-aged woman still kicked with her feet, Tie Dan quickly dissuaded and said: "It's okay, anyway, I have to go forward to collect the body, and I have to go here when I turn back, and then I will transport it out of the city, I can turn around and hand over the body to me." I know that her father has passed away and is in a bad mood, so let her spend more time with her father. ”

With that, Tie Dan dragged the cart and walked down the street again.

He made it all the way to the end, and then turned back, collecting two more corpses along the way. When he came to the bones of the girl's father again, he found that the girl was still crying with her arms around the body, but the middle-aged woman and the other two children were gone.

Tie Dan was a little curious, stopped the rack car, walked over and asked, "Girl, where is your mother and your brother?"

The woman turned her head to look at the iron egg, and after a while, she sobbed and said, "Go and ask for food." ”

This is also the case, because it is already noon, and it is the time to start the meal, and it is easy to get the food. And this girl named Ugly Girl stayed behind to take care of her father's corpse, or she was waiting for the iron egg to come back.

Tie Dan said, "Can you give me your father's body now?" If you are still reluctant, then I will not force it. ”

The premise of the yamen's collection of corpses is that the family members are willing to hand over the corpses to the yamen for disposal, and generally will not forcibly transport the corpses to be buried.

The girl cried sadly, and finally nodded, and said, "Thank you, big brother." ”

Tie Dan smiled reluctantly, reached over, picked up the corpse, which was already stiff like a stick, and placed it on the board shelf cart. This middle-aged man's body is already as thin as wood, so Tie Dan doesn't need to work too hard.

Tie Dan put the body on the cart and pulled it to leave, but the girl said, "Can you let me go with you?" I want to know where my father is buried? One day the family will be more comfortable, and I want to go to the grave to pay respects on the Qingming Festival." ”

In the process of cleaning up, there are often family members who make this kind of request, of course, it is not a problem, as long as they are willing to follow, Tie Dan is very happy, after all, let the relatives know the location of their dead relatives, so that they can pay tribute in the future, and there can be fewer lonely ghosts.
