The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 166 A Eunuch
Everyone looked towards the person who spoke, and that person was naturally Chen Xiao.
A gray-haired old expert asked, "Which hospital are you from? What's your name? What do you mean by this?"
The white-haired expert fired off three questions in a row. Chen Xiao calmly replied, "My name is Chen Xiao, from Jiangcheng Hospital. What I mean is, I can stop the patient's bleeding!"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked, followed by faces full of disbelief.
Especially the representatives from the other four hospitals, their gazes towards Chen Xiao were full of sarcasm.
Everyone knew that Jiangcheng Hospital was at the bottom of the rankings. How dare a young doctor like you jump out and say such a thing? Aren't you afraid of becoming a laughingstock?
The white-haired expert also sneered, "Are you saying that something we several chief physicians can't do, you can do? Young man, do you think we're all inferior to you combined?"
Chen Xiao shook his head, "I didn't say that. I just said, I can stop the patient's bleeding!"
"Absurd!"
The white-haired expert shouted angrily, "Young man, don't think I don't know what you're up to. Aren't you just trying to show off in front of everyone? But you're playing with the patient's life. I will never allow such a thing!"
Chen Xiao sneered, "I think you're the ones playing with the patient's life, right? The patient's life is already on the line, and you're still thinking about a show of hands? Are you serious?"
As soon as Chen Xiao said this, the other four representatives were all stunned. This kid dared to say anything!
He, a mere small doctor from Jiangcheng Hospital, actually dared to accuse the experts from the Provincial Central Hospital. Was he worthy?
The white-haired expert was furious, pointing to the door: "You ignorant brat, get out of here..."
However, before he could finish speaking, an expert doctor wearing black-rimmed glasses next to him suddenly said, "Why don't we let him try?"
This person had a simple and honest appearance, but his expression was serious and rigid. At first glance, he was the kind of person who was very serious about his work.
The white-haired expert was slightly stunned, and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by this?"
The honest expert pushed up his glasses and said seriously, "Since we don't have a better solution, why don't we let him try? We don't have much time left!"
On the operating table, the patient's life was already in critical condition, and all vital signs had dropped to the critical value of death.
At this time, the other experts also expressed their agreement for Chen Xiao to give it a try.
However, their thoughts were not as simple as the honest expert. They just felt that since the patient was already doomed to die, why not find someone to take the blame and shoulder this mess?
What's more, he took the initiative to jump out and carry it.
The white-haired expert had no choice but to snort angrily at Chen Xiao, "Alright, then let you try. If you can't stop the bleeding, you will be responsible!"
Chen Xiao sneered and didn't bother to respond, calmly taking out the silver needles.
When everyone saw Chen Xiao take out the silver needles, they became even more sarcastic!
"This kid isn't mistaken, is he? Using silver needles to stop bleeding? Does he think he's Hua Tuo?"
"I didn't expect him to use traditional Chinese medicine. I had a little expectation for him, but now I don't have any!"
"Traditional Chinese medicine is not so easy to learn. It takes others twenty years to get started. This kid is only in his twenties. Even if he started learning traditional Chinese medicine from his mother's womb, how profound could he be?"
"Wanting to rely on silver needles to stop bleeding with this level? What a joke!"
Chen Xiao turned a deaf ear to these voices, holding the silver needle, he pierced it quickly and steadily!
Seeing this scene, the white-haired expert couldn't help shaking his head, full of regret.
"Seeing his hasty acupuncture, he must have just started learning traditional Chinese medicine. I should have resisted the crowd and prevented him from coming to make trouble. But now it's too late...Eh? That's not right, what is this?"
The white-haired expert sighed with emotion halfway through, then suddenly opened his eyes wide, his gaze towards the patient full of disbelief!
Hearing the sound, everyone followed his gaze, and suddenly surprise appeared on everyone's faces!
"What's going on? Why has the patient's wound changed color?"
Just as this person said, the bleeding wound of the patient suddenly changed from blood red to a slightly yellow color, and even emitted a faint metallic luster!
"No, this, this, this is... the Copper Ghoul Divine Needle!"
The white-haired expert was flushed with excitement, and his speech became stuttering.
Among the onlookers, someone asked, "What is the Copper Ghoul Divine Needle?"
The white-haired expert glared at the man and said dissatisfiedly, "Are you still Chinese? Are you still studying medicine? Don't you even know the Copper Ghoul Divine Needle?"
Suddenly someone exclaimed, "Could it be the Copper Ghoul Divine Needle left by the divine physician Hua Tuo? But isn't that just a legend? Is it true?"
At this time, Chen Xiao suddenly spoke, "Of course it's true. Back then, Guan Yu scraped his bones to heal his wounds because Senior Hua Tuo used the Copper Ghoul Divine Needle on him!" (Referring to Guan Yu, a famous general from the Three Kingdoms period)
"Legend has it that this acupuncture technique can turn the injured person into copper skin and iron bones, just like a ghost or god, hence the name Copper Ghoul Divine Needle. I thought the legend was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
The white-haired expert looked at the patient's wound that had turned into the color of copper and iron, and muttered to himself.
With the wound like this, the bleeding naturally stopped.
Chen Xiao fulfilled his promise, clapped his hands twice: "Done, the bleeding has stopped!"
The expressions on everyone's faces became unusually exciting, the kind of expression that they didn't believe it was true, but the facts were in front of them, and they had to believe it!
Everyone's gaze towards Chen Xiao changed, as if they were looking at a deity.
The white-haired expert even clasped his fists and apologized to Chen Xiao.
"Mr. Chen, I, Zhu Zihai, was blind and offended you earlier. Please forgive me!"
This Zhu Zihai was honest and upright. Although he was old with white hair, he dared to admit his mistakes when he did something wrong.
This made all of Chen Xiao's dissatisfaction with him disappear.
He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Dr. Zhu. I just fulfilled my promise and stopped the bleeding for him. The next thing is up to you!"
Zhu Zihai then remembered that the operation was not over yet, and quickly greeted everyone to continue the unfinished operation.
In the end, the operation was a complete success.
A group of people walked out of the operating room, and outside the operating room, there was a man who caught the eye.
The reason why he caught the eye was because of his shiny bald head.
He was wearing a red cotton and linen robe, neither monk nor layman, and had a lion's nose and a wide mouth, with the appearance of a dragon and a tiger.
Coupled with his height of nearly two meters, it was difficult for people not to notice him!
Logically speaking, a person who grew up like this must be full of fierce and domineering aura, but Chen Xiao felt that this person had a bit of femininity.
And soon, Chen Xiao realized where this feminine aura came from.
It turned out that this red-robed bald man was a eunuch!
