First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 37 Surgery

  The ancients loved to listen to dramas. After all, they couldn't do much other than listening to dramas, especially women.

  It's hard to hear the play in the country. The nearest opera garden is also in the town. It takes a lot of copper to get in. The country folks can't listen.

  Although the old lady can't sing, she can speak, and she speaks in detail.

   "Where do you listen to the play?" Gu Jiao asked, leaning over.

   "I don't remember." The old lady shook her head and said.

  Gu Jiao saw that she didn't look like she was lying, and then said: "Then do you remember anything else?"

  The old lady thought about it seriously: "Nothing."

  Gu Jiao: "..."

  Gu Jiao said again: "Then can you stop fooling people like this in the future?"

  The old lady thought about it seriously again: "No."

  Gu Jiao: "…" 鈥斺�

With the approaching of the New Year, Gu Jiao became busy, and she couldn't care about staring at the old lady all the time. The old lady occasionally acted as a demon, but she was able to take care of her by herself, and did not cause trouble to Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang.

After that, Gu Jiao went to the temple again. The master in charge of property has not yet returned. Gu Jiao decided to come again in the next year.

  The Academy conducted another test a year ago. I don’t know if it was affected by the theft. Gu Dashun’s performance was significantly weaker this time, and he fell to the tenth class.

  Gu Xiaoshun's grades are very stable and he is still the last one.

  Xiao Liulang rose by one place, but this time it was still not because he did well in the exam, but because he was the second-to-last and fourth-to-last sick leave, tied with Gu Xiaoshun for the first-to-last.

  Many masters in the academy knew about the eight-legged essay that Xiao Liulang enrolled in, but he hasn’t written an essay since then, and basically handed in blank papers in the exam.

  Some people suspected that he was Jiang Lang's exhausted talent, and some people suspected that he entered school fraudulently at first, but Dean Li has always firmly believed that Xiao Liulang is talented.

  No matter what others say, he doesn't want to give up Xiao Liulang.

  The imperial examination is once every three years, and there will be a fall in the next year. If you miss it, you have to wait for the next three years.

  The candidates participating in Qiuwei must be students, that is, scholars.

  There was a county test during the New Year. Dean Li hesitated and reported Xiao Liulang's name without authorization.

  Gu Jiao is still unaware of all this. The academy is on annual vacation. Tomorrow is the day when Xiao Liulang will be operated on. She has to ensure sleep and adjust herself to the best condition.

  In fact, she didn't have to do too much of this kind of surgery in her previous life. It is logical that she doesn't have to be psychologically burdened at all, but surgery on a stranger is not the same as surgery on Xiao Liulang.

  Such a perfect cub, she can't leave any regrets on him.

   Before going to bed, Gu Jiao checked the small medicine box. As expected, all the anesthetics and injections needed for the operation had already appeared.

  These medicines are not those sold in pharmacies in the past life, they are all medicines of the research institute. Gu Jiao seriously suspected that as long as the institute did not close down, her medicine box would be able to continue to be replenished.

  Well, that’s a good thing!

  Gu Jiao slept beautifully. After getting up, she cooked breakfast and boiled medicine for the old lady.

  When Gu Jiao took the medicine to the old lady’s house, the old lady hesitated to look at the pills on the plate, then at the concoction in the bowl, and frowned, “Why do I think this decoction can be taken or not?”

   "You think too much, the decoction is as important as the pill." Gu Jiao said without changing her face.

  The old lady drank the pills and the decoction suspiciously. She rolled her eyes in pain, and seriously suspected that Gu Jiao had come to avenge her for being a demon.

  Gu Jiao still entrusted the old lady to Xue Ningxiang, and then went to the hospital with Xiao Liulang in Ershu Luo’s bullock cart.

  Feng Lin will not miss such an important day.

  He had been waiting in the hospital long ago, but now the weather is getting colder, and he doesn't want to sit inside and wait, but he froze into a small popsicle outside.

  Feng Lin saw the young couple in the bullock cart at a glance, and his face sank.

  He has the urge to scold dog men and women, but when he presses it down, Brother Xiao is not wrong, it is this woman who is getting more shameless, always clinging to Brother Xiao!

  Gu Jiao looked calm when she saw Feng Lin: "You didn't go back to celebrate the New Year?"

   Feng Lin hummed: "My house is so far away, how can I go back?"

  Gu Jiao just remembered that the transportation in ancient times was inconvenient. The distance that the high-speed rail could reach in one day in her previous life might take up to a month here. Feng Lin might not get home before the annual vacation is over.

  Gu Jiao: "Oh."

  Feng Lin punched the cotton: "..."

  The date was set in advance. Shopkeeper Wang and the old doctor were waiting in the clinic just after dawn.

Both Feng Lin and Gu Jiao followed in.

  The old doctor first asked Xiao Liulang about the situation of smoking medicine at home in the past few days.

   "There are medicine smoked before going to bed every night." Xiao Liulang said truthfully.

  He gets home from school every night, and Gu Jiao has already cooked up his meals and cooked up his medicine.

  The old doctor nodded.

   Feng Lin said, "Dr. Zhang, is Brother Xiao’s legs almost healed?"

  The old doctor said: "Okay, I won't know until after the operation."

   "What did you say? Surgery?" Feng Lin was stunned.

  Xiao Liulang's eyes also passed a trace of astonishment.

  Gu Jiao was worried about this situation, so she never told them that surgery in this era is not popular, and everyone’s acceptance is not high. It is generally believed that it will only be used on the battlefield.

  Feng Lin was shocked: "Doctor Zhang! You didn't say it before!"

  Of course, the old doctor wouldn’t tell the truth, and said with a stern face: “That’s not the condition at the time. Now that the medicine has been smoked for a while, the meridians have been opened and surgery can be performed.”

  But this is a major event after all. If you want to use a knife on someone, Feng Lin hesitated: "Is there no other way besides surgery?"

   "Hmm." The old doctor nodded.

   "Surely it will succeed?" Feng Lin asked again.

   "This is not a guarantee." The old doctor replied, touching his conscience, "If it is done, he will be able to walk normally, if it fails, he may be worse than now."

  This is what Gu Jiao said at the beginning. Even if she is the most powerful doctor in the research institute, she dare not praise Haikou and say which operation is completely risk-free.

   "Brother Xiao..." Feng Lin retreated. He was a conservative and didn't want to take such a big risk.

  Xiao Liulang moved the corners of his lips faintly, and said casually: "Then let's do the operation, I will trouble Dr. Zhang."

  He promised so quickly that even Gu Jiao looked at him.

  In fact, even after getting along for so long, Gu Jiao had never really understood him, but for a moment, she seemed to feel a cold indifference on him.

  It's like...he didn't mind that the operation might fail.

  Is he really courageous, or doesn't care about his life at all?

  　 Jiaojiao: You don’t care, I care for you!

  　　*

  　　 After half a year, the little guy in the family is not comfortable again. This time the local hospital can't help but come to Wuhan. The diagnoses given by doctors in different departments are still different. The neurology department said it was a psychological problem and asked the hospital to do suggestive treatment; the orthopedist said it was a subluxation of the atlantoaxial joint and asked to go home for traction and opened a neck brace.

  　　 She has some ideas: "I'm not hospitalized! I don't need a neck brace!"

  　　 I said, OK, so let's take the long view? As a result, I was so painful that I couldn't eat food at the hotel at night, so I put on my neck brace and went to the hospital.
