Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Really the Wisest Choice
If the treatnt followed a typical surgical plan, once the bullet was extracted and the wound cleaned, with the injured tissue sutured, the operation would be nearing completion. Next would be to allow the patient to wake and maintain dication therapy.
But for Luo Ziling, treatnt did not stop there; there were still many asures to take.
He sat on the ground, took out paper and pen from his pocket, and wrote two prescriptions, asking Shanque to send soone to buy the dicine overnight, as he would brew it himself later. After receiving the prescriptions from Luo Ziling, Shanque imdiately opened the door and handed them to another comrade-in-arms waiting in the living room outside.
Luo Ziling was in a suite with an outer living room and an inner bedroom, which had two beds, one big and one small.
Lin Lan was placed on the large bed, and Luo Ziling’s belongings were scattered on the small one.
The male team mber from just before was sent by Luo Ziling to wait in the outer living room, and Shanque had him stand by there.
After taking the prescriptions from Shanque, that team mber quickly went out to purchase the dicine.
After resting briefly, Luo Ziling started to administer acupuncture treatnt to Lin Lan again.
He had perford acupuncture many tis that day during the competition with Gu Jian’an and Gu Changwei, and combined with the energy spent treating Lin Lan earlier, Luo Ziling felt that his strength was sowhat insufficient while performing the acupuncture.
Nevertheless, he mustered all his strength to treat Lin Lan, applying acupuncture techniques to important acupoints near her injury. Only after feeling that the qi and blood flow around her wound had beco smooth did he breathe a sigh of relief. The qi-guiding treatnt lasted nearly an hour. While he was treating her, the team mber who had gone to get the dicine had returned but did not disturb him. After handing the dicine to Shanque, he continued to stand by outside.
By the ti Luo Ziling finished treating Lin Lan, it was already one o’clock in the morning. As he pulled out the last needle, Luo Ziling could no longer control himself; his body swayed, and he collapsed onto the ground, the needle he had just extracted also falling to the ground.
Shanque was greatly startled, but soon realized that Luo Ziling had fainted due to excessive physical exhaustion.
However, so as not to delay Lin Lan’s treatnt, Shanque tily fed Luo Ziling a bottle of the high-energy drink they used.
After drinking the high-energy drink, Luo Ziling opened his eyes. He instructed Shanque how to brew the dicine and had her administer so antibiotics to Lin Lan, but then he could not hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground again.
This ti, Shanque did not awaken Luo Ziling; instead, she picked him up from the ground, placed him on the smaller bed, and carefully removed his shoes and coat, covered him with a blanket, and let him sleep well.
Luo Ziling had brought the tools for brewing dicine; Shanque went to the outer living room, began brewing the dicine following Luo Ziling’s instructions, and, after brewing, fed it to Lin Lan.
Here, Lin Lan’s complexion began to appear slightly rosier, with sweat on her face, and she no longer looked as ghastly.
She was still deep in sleep, and with the help of the male team mber, Shanque positioned her body comfortably and let her rest quietly in bed.
After doing all this, Shanque, who also felt very tired, lay down to sleep on the carpet while still dressed.
The male team mber did not leave either; he and another teammate who arrived later stood watch outside, ready to follow orders at any ti.
The newly arrived teammate had also bought a lot of food.
However, they had no interest in eating; what worried them was Lin Lan’s safety.
Lin Lan was their squadron leader, essentially their commanding officer; with the leader injured, it was natural that her subordinates were extrely anxious.
But they didn’t dare to ask about the condition of the two people inside and could only wait outside.
Shanque was also very tired and soon fell asleep, but there’s one thing in common with these people’s sleep: they have high-quality sleep and can react quickly in their dreams to any unusual situations.
Shanque was awakened by so strange noises, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Luo Ziling quietly getting up from the bed.
Seeing that she had woken up, Luo Ziling said sowhat embarrassedly, “I was woken up by the need to pee, I’ll just go to the bathroom. You continue to sleep, I’ll check her injury when I get back.”
Shanque nodded but didn’t say anything.
She checked the ti, and it was already past three in the morning.
Rather than going back to sleep, she went out to check on the situation, and seeing that the other two were still on guard, she instructed them to get so rest as there were no imdiate tasks to be assigned. The two team mbers sighed in relief and lay down on the sofa in their clothes, ready to take a nap.
Shanque brought the food that her comrades had bought into the room, preparing to give Luo Ziling sothing to eat because her own stomach was growling with hunger.
Any trace of sleepiness vanished. Shanque’s attention now was focused on Lin Lan’s injuries.
Soon, Luo Ziling ca out of the bathroom. He didn’t check the wound, but instead took Lin Lan’s pulse.
After taking the pulse, Luo Ziling used acupuncture techniques to examine Lin Lan’s blood circulation, and took the opportunity to treat her with qi therapy.
Luo Ziling was providing intensive treatnt, which ant that it wasn’t necessary to treat Lin Lan for such a long ti or so many tis, but in order to save her life and help her recover health as soon as possible, he kept treating her despite his own physical exhaustion whenever he had the strength to do so.
Shanque could see this and felt very touched by it. She heard Luo Ziling’s stomach growling during the check-up and treatnt, making it clear that he was greatly in need of nutrition replenishnt.
Once Luo Ziling had finished the treatnt, Shanque handed him a box of fried noodle snacks that had gotten a bit cold, urging him to eat first.
As Luo Ziling took it, Shanque then asked about Lin Lan’s injuries.
In fact, Shanque could tell whether Lin Lan’s life was in danger from Luo Ziling’s behavior.
If the danger hadn’t been removed, Luo Ziling wouldn’t have thought of eating and wouldn’t have been so composed.
Luo Ziling was not very anxious now, which was completely different from when he was treating Lin Lan just before. From his reaction, Shanque guessed that Lin Lan’s injuries were under control, but she still wanted to hear it directly from Luo Ziling.
“There’s no imdiate danger to life now,” Luo Ziling said while eating, “but I’m still worried about the unexpected, so I need to check constantly and can’t be careless. We’ll let her stay here for the ti being until she recovers a bit before moving her. I will stay by her side these next few days. If you guys have things to do, go ahead and don’t worry about us.”
Hearing Luo Ziling say this, Shanque finally let out a sigh of relief. She sincerely thanked Luo Ziling: “Thank you so much! Bringing her to you was really the wisest choice.”
“Don’t forget, I am now an auxiliary mber of your squad, and your comrade!”
Shanque smiled at Luo Ziling, her eyes filled with admiration and, of course, gratitude.
