Chapter 391 The First Surgery in the Northern Song Dynasty

Zhao Huan could only use mugwort instead of alcohol.

First, wash the mugwort, squeeze out the juice, and then mix it with hot water to make a simple disinfectant.

At the same time, take clean clothes and steam them in a pot.

In addition, clean up a house, quickly build an unearthed stove inside, and put a large pot on to boil water.

In order to race against time, Zhao Huan prepared three large pots in succession and boiled water at the same time. Soon the room was flooded with boiling steam.

Even the servants who lit the fire could not bear the high temperature in the room and fled out to enjoy the cool air.

After the room was thoroughly disinfected, Master Li was wrapped in clean cloth soaked in moxa water and transferred to the disinfection room.

At the same time, the doctors headed by Li Yi put on clothes that had been steamed and disinfected, carefully washed the exposed parts with moxa water, and cleaned and disinfected all the tools needed before entering the house.

"Wang Daquan!"

"My lord, what are your orders?"

"Guard the door. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave the room, let alone open the door. All communication only needs to be done through the door."

Although Wang Daquan didn't understand what "sterile treatment" meant, as long as it was Zhao Huan's request, he would do it unconditionally.

Where have Li Yicheng and other doctors experienced such battles?

They stood in the room that had cooled down and looked at Master Li, who was lying in front of him and had fallen into a coma, with complicated expressions.

"Why does the prince recommend surgery so much?"

"What's the point of this battle?"

"Wait a minute, look, Master Li's wounds seem to have been cleaned. Is it also Ai Shui?"

"Although it's a bit unbelievable, the prince seems to really understand medical science."

"Don't be nagging. Since this is the prince's order, we only need to perform surgery on Master Li. Whether she lives or dies depends on her own fate."

Under the leadership of Li Yicheng, doctors gathered around Li Shishi and began to treat her wounds.

Zhao Huan, who was outside the door, was walking around with his hands behind his back, looking extremely anxious.

I kept feeling emotional in my heart.

Silly girl, why do you want to sacrifice your life for this king?

This is my king’s war and it has nothing to do with you...

Xiao Yan'er on the side was always jealous of Master Li, but at this life-and-death moment, she shed tears.

She just has a bad mouth, but her heart is naturally not bad.

"Your Majesty, Master Li is not dead, is he?"

"Although the slave family usually doesn't get along with Master Li, we really don't want Master Li to die..."

Seeing Xiao Yan'er wiping away tears, Zhao Huan shook his head and said helplessly: "I have seen Master Li's wounds, and there is no damage to the internal organs, and there is no trauma to the intestines."

"It's just that my stomach was cut open."

That’s it?!

Everyone present, including the well-informed Wang Zhen, felt that Zhao Huan's words were a bit unbelievable.

In their understanding, if the stomach is cut open, death is certain.

Even if it was mended, it wouldn't last three days.

Zhu Peng was also extremely worried. Although he had no contact with Li Shishi, after all, Li Shishi was seriously injured trying to save Zhao Huan.

"Uncle, as far as I know, many of the wounded soldiers who retreated from the battlefield were disemboweled by the enemy."

"Although the military doctors will sew them up, it is only to leave them with intact bodies after death. None of the wounded soldiers can be cured."

"Most people die within three days."

Zhao Huan took a deep breath. This was the first time he felt so uneasy.

"When I was treating Emperor Chongde, I already said that there are several things called viruses and bacteria that are so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye."

"It is precisely because of these things that the injured person's condition worsened and died after infection."

"As long as bacteria and viruses can be controlled, most trauma can be cured."

The theory of bacteria and viruses is a bit too far-fetched for Zhu Peng and others.

However, considering that Zhao Huan could even grasp astronomical knowledge such as "Tianguan Xingke" at his fingertips, although they could not understand it, they believed in Zhao Huan's words.

The reason why Zhao Huan was so sure was that he had a certain understanding of Li Shishi's injury.

Li Shishi's belly was only cut open, and the wound was right between the iliac and lumbar arteries, so no major blood loss occurred.

To put it bluntly, only the skin, flesh and fat were injured, not even the intestines.

This is why Master Li was able to stay awake for so long.

As long as the operation goes well, Li Shishi can still be saved. But what Zhao Huan is really worried about now is not Li Shishi's injury, but that these doctors, affected by the "sorcery technique", are hesitant and affect the quality of the operation.

In order to allow the doctor to perform the surgical operation on Li Shishi, Zhao Huan would go behind the door from time to time and threaten the doctor in the room.

"Although I don't know medical skills, I have medical knowledge."

"If Master Li dies, I will disembowel her body and perform an autopsy. If you violate the rules and do not strictly and thoroughly perform the surgery on her, one of you will be exterminated and buried with her!"

Faced with Zhao Huan's threat, it took a long time for Li Yicheng's voice to be heard in the room.

"Life and death are fateful, and the crime is not as bad as that of a doctor."

Zhao Huan replied directly: "I don't care, if Master Li dies, you will die too!"

"If anyone is not convinced and dares to test the law with his own body, I will make you suffer all kinds of torture."

Although Zhao Huan would not really take action against them, they would not hold anything back until they realized the seriousness of the problem.

Whether they are the doctors in Taiyuan or the imperial doctors in the palace, they are all doctors with real talents and knowledge.

The reason why they repeatedly put people to death is not because of their lack of knowledge, but because of some other reasons...

As for what the reason is, it depends on the beholder and the wise.

Li Yicheng sighed and waved helplessly at the glaring doctors around him.

"What do you think I'm going to do? Hurry up and do the surgery."

"You have all heard that this prince is not a good man. He will really kill us all."

The doctors were hesitant at first, but since their own lives were tied to that of Master Li, they had no choice but to act as doctors.

Cleaning and suturing wounds are just basic skills for Li Yicheng and others.

Right now, the only thing they need to worry about is the situation inside their abdomen.

Everyone lay on Li Shishi's body and checked carefully to make sure there was no trauma in the abdomen, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhao Huan was not idle when the operation was being performed in the house.

He ordered people to build a corridor at the door, wrap it with oilcloth, and seal the corridor.

The inside was first fumigated, then moxa water was put in, and a simple buffer zone was built.
