“Let them go!” said Wu Donggui as he
watched deviously at the back of Hunter Zhang and his son on their way out. “I
have never heard of leg tendons growing back once it is severed. When Zhang
Lihu became a cripple after being treated by them, we will go and spread the
words that his injury was treatable, but he ended up crippled under the man’s
treatment. Do you think he will have any more patients after that?”
“Great idea! Husband, you are so smart!
Exactly, it was the mistake of the old man that crippled him!” Having heard
that, Mrs. Wu’s mood quickly improved and she laughed out loud at the thought.
Gu Ye ran home as fast as she could and
ran inside the house one step before Hunter Zhang and his son. When he found
the sage apothecary pacing slowly in the backyard, she ran up to him and
grabbed him by his hand. There was a strange glow in her eyes and she said,
“Master! We have patient! Quick! Go get ready!”
The sage apothecary’s foot was still
bruised and he was still limping a little bit. Despite that, he still tried to
put on the show that he was oh so unfathomable. Being yanked expectedly by his
disciple, he stumbled and almost felt on his back in the snow.
“Master! Master! It’s not any common
illness. Lihu-ge was hurt. His Achilles tendon has been severed!!” Even
though there was some worry in Gu Ye’s tone, it was mostly full excitement.
“Injured? Just put some paste on it and
stop the bleeding and that would… wait, what did you just say?” sage
apothecary’s nonchalant look suddenly turned very solemn. “Did you say his
tendon was severed? Then his leg was ruined. What is there to treat? Never mind
about your master, even if the sage healer was here in person, he wouldn’t be
able to fix him!!”
“Master, sure, his tendon was severed,
but all we need to do is to sew it back up!” In her previous life, that was but
a minor surgery. How come the all mighty sage apothecary, who was always
competing with the sage healer, made it sound like it was a hopeless case?
“Sew it back up? You made it sound so
simple. Do you think it’s like patching your clothes? Let me tell you, your
master has been around for some 60 odd years, but I have never heard of severed
tendons being re-attached!” If this was fractured bones they were talking
about, he’d at least be able to align it back for the patient. But this is the
Achille’s tendon that they were talking about! There was nothing he could….
“Grandpa Zheng. Lihu-ge was injured, can you please take a look
at him?” Footsteps came running toward them from the outside, followed by Gu
Ming’s voice.
Back when she was still at the Gu’s and Mrs. Gu wouldn’t let her eat
anything, Zhang Lihu would save the birds that he caught, cooked them and have
her brother sneaked them into the house for her. Whenever he found bird eggs,
he would also give her a few. Without Lihu-ge and Ninth Aunty next
door’s supplements from time to time, the original owner would have starved to
death much sooner. No matter what, she couldn’t just sit around and watch him
turn into a cripple!
What the heck! Gu Ye dragged her master back into his room before she
run back to her own room and grabbed all her surgical equipment from her dimension.
She packed them all and carried them with her to the east quarter.
In her previous life, before the apocalypse, she was a talent student
at the medical school. She was just 16 when she received her medical degree and
had plenty of experience in performing surgeries. Whether it was theoretical or
actual experience, she was skilled in most surgeries.

She became an MD at 16 years of age? A task that requires multiple degrees, residency, and a whole lot of money. And she is an orphan to boot.
ReplyDeleteWhen did she start this education? At age 5?
Suspension of disbelief. =)
DeleteYeah, I know a lot of authors do this but sometimes it is just too over-the-top. Is there something authors have against normal-aged folk? Why does one have to be doctor before turning 20, or prime minister, or a CEO, or...?
DeleteYou know, I agree. The ML was in his 20's (mid/late?). Why did MC has to start at 11? 16 would have been more convincing (better than 11)!
Deletehe started when he was 10 that's who Gu Xiao was thinking of in one of the previous chapters
DeleteWell didn't she say earlier she wasn't good st surgery which is why she specialized in pharmacology
DeleteMybe cause its an apocalypse and they just invested in talented ppl. Also she did mention that she created the beast repellant while studying so she must be a genius plus the rules probly worked differently as ppl where more concerned with survival.
