Chapter 141: Xiao Zimo, Can You even operate

Chapter 141

Xiao Han finished her disinfection work and it was already nighttime. She immediately went to the quarantine shed and saw that there were quite a few more infected villagers today, some with more severe symptoms and some less severe.

Xiao Zimo was taking the pulse and acupuncture for those with more severe symptoms. He sat in a wheelchair, wore a spotless white robe, and was calm and unhurried without any panic.

Xiao Han muttered to herself, "This guy is like an unworldly immortal!"

She did not disturb Xiao Zimo and first fumigated the quarantine shed with herbs. Then, holding a stack of papers, she went to record each patient's condition.

After she finished recording and came out, she saw Xiao Zimo was at the door of the quarantine shed, instructing Liu Yan to cook medicine.

Just as he finished instructing, he turned around in his wheelchair and saw Xiao Han standing behind him.

"Brother Xiao Han, how did you get in here? It's very dangerous inside, you should go out first."

"How can you handle everything alone? There will likely be more and more people coming!" Xiao Han said matter-of-factly.

She stepped forward and handed Xiao Zimo the stack of papers in her hand, "Here are the medical records I made for them, which is also convenient to observe their recovery."

Xiao Zimo glanced at her and took the papers from her hand. Looking at the detailed record of each patient, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Brother Xiao Han, you..." Xiao Zimo wanted to say something but stopped.

"I know your traditional Chinese medicine skills must be very good. You just focus on treating them and leave prevention and follow-ups to me."

There were no antibiotics or Western medicine here. Although her expertise was not traditional Chinese medicine, she was very interested in it and had been learning it for some time - acupuncture, herbs, she knew quite a bit.

But Xiao Zimo was clearly more professional than her in this area, so she did not want to overstep.

"So... you are also a doctor?" Xiao Zimo asked.

Xiao Han smiled, "I guess so, just... my expertise is somewhat different from yours!"

Xiao Zimo looked at her smile and felt that although she was small in stature, her skill and courage were quite big.

"May I ask bluntly why you came here?" Xiao Zimo suddenly changed the topic.

"Me? Because I was chased by enemies and jumped off a cliff. After swimming out of the river, I wandered here!" Xiao Han told the truth.

Xiao Zimo looked her over. She didn't seem to be lying. Was it just a coincidence?

Over the past two days helping to contain the outbreak, her enthusiasm and sincerity made her seem genuine. Maybe it really was just a coincidence.

At this time, Liu Yan rushed over in a hurry.

Xiao Han assessed the mother's condition - the amniotic fluid coming out was already cloudy. Any later and it really could be two lives lost.

Just then, the unconscious Xiu An awoke, reaching out to grab Xiao Han's hand, "Please...save my baby..."

Xiao Zimo entered the room, a white sheet covering the mother below.

His gold thread wrapped around Xiu An's wrist and he frowned, "The C-section must be done now!"

"Do you really know how to do C-sections?" Xiao Han asked immediately.

Xiao Zimo glanced at her, "Brother Xiao Han, you may stay and assist me."

The door closed. Xiao Zimo took out soporific powder for Xiao Han to feed Xiu An.

"Don't worry, your baby will be fine, and so will you!" Xiao Han reassured.

The anxious people outside waited as the calm surgeons worked inside.

Seeing Xiao Zimo take out surgical instruments, Xiao Han was shocked once more. Although slightly different from modern tools, they served basically the same functions.

Xiao Han's skilled assistance also surprised Xiao Zimo somewhat.

In fact, the surgery did not take long, probably just over half an hour, before the people outside heard the cries of a newborn baby.

The anxiety Auntie Wang held finally loosened.

After a while, Xiao Han opened the door and handed the child to Auntie Wang's son.

"How is my wife? How is she?" The man was very worried and anxious, not taking the child first.

Seeing his concern for his wife, Xiao Han felt quite gratified, "Don't worry, your wife is fine. Congratulations, it's a big baby boy."

Auntie Wang's son seemed to deflate, falling to the ground. He bowed deeply to Xiao Han and Xiao Zimo, voice shaking with relief, "Thank you, Young Masters! Thank you!"

Auntie Wang quickly took the child from Xiao Han, eyes red but voice steady with gratitude, "Thank you, thank you both!"

Xiao Zimo also came out and gave Auntie Wang's son some postpartum instructions and nursing advice.

As they left Auntie Wang's house, it was already very late. Under the moonlight, there was a probing look in both their eyes towards each other.

Xiao Han suddenly laughed and leaned in close to peer into his eyes. Both still had masks on, with only their eyes visible.

"Xiao Zimo, so you know surgery too? You really are exceptional..."

Xiao Zimo did not avoid her gaze, also looking at her, "Brother Xiao Han, you are quite exceptional yourself."
