Chapter 1153 A piece of cake
"Xiao Li? Why are you here?"
A surprised smile broke out on Bai Ren's face and he hurriedly went to meet him.
Bai Ren, who is in his early forties, has an upright posture but can't hide his fatigue.
His deep and focused eyes seemed to hide endless stories, revealing the wisdom and calmness developed from long-term study of medicine.
There are a few shallow wrinkles on that slightly weathered face, which are like special marks left by the years, witnessing his countless days and nights in the medical field.
Bai Ren is an excellent doctor. In this end times when medical resources are scarce, he has become the well-deserved backbone of this medical station with his solid medical knowledge and rich clinical experience.
He fought fierce battles with death on the operating table time and time again, saving countless lives from the clutches of the disease.
Because of this, he is deeply respected and trusted by the residents of the old town.
In the thrilling rescue operation not long ago, Li Luo and Bai Ren were on the same "battlefield".
They rushed back and forth among the numerous injured, trying to save every dying life against every second.
In that chaotic scene, the painful groans of the wounded could be heard one after another, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and dust was flying everywhere.
All of this constitutes the background picture of their hard work for the rescue work.
They are partners who fight side by side and support each other.
Now that we meet again, even though we haven't seen each other for just a few days, I don't feel strange at all.
Seeing Bai Ren coming over, Li Luo smiled and greeted him familiarly:
"Director Bai, I haven't seen you for a few days. You are still so energetic! I have been thinking about you since the rescue operation was over."
Bai Ren laughed heartily: "Xiao Li, you are still so sweet!"
The two of them chatted with each other, recalling every detail of the rescue and feeling deeply moved.
After a long while, Li Luo's expression became serious. She pursed her lips and said:
"Director Bai, I came here this time to treat a girl named Gao Yue."
As he spoke, Li Luo's eyes passed Bai Ren and looked behind him, as if he wanted to find the figure who needed medical treatment.
Inside the ward, the light was dim and depressing. Six beds were neatly arranged, three on the left and three on the right.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant, which made people feel uncomfortable.
On the bed on the left near the door, lay an old man with a face as pale as paper.
His emaciated and shriveled body was sunken in the white bedding, as if he would be swallowed up at any moment.
He closed his eyes tightly, and his weak breathing seemed to be intermittent, as if it would disappear completely in the next second.
The instrument next to it made a regular and monotonous "beeping" sound, which was particularly abrupt in the silent ward, as if it was the countdown to death.
On the middle bed, a young man was half leaning.
His eyes were empty and dull, staring fixedly at the dark sky outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
His hair was messy and stuck to his forehead, and his face was full of despair and confusion.
On the innermost bed, a woman was sleeping quietly, but there were still traces of tears on her face. The tears left two clear marks on her haggard face, as if telling of the endless pain and sorrow in her heart.
On the bed on the right, a little boy was lying in the first position.
His small body sobbed from time to time because of the pain, and every sob was like a tearing cry, piercing the heart.
His mother whispered comforting words beside him, her voice filled with endless fatigue and helplessness.
On the bed in the middle, a middle-aged man tossed and turned with a frown on his face.
His face was sallow and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He seemed to be tormented by illness and unable to sleep.
On a bed near the window on the left side, lay a skinny and shriveled girl in her twenties.
Her face was haggard and her brows were furrowed, and she seemed to be in great pain even in a coma.
The injured hand was wrapped in thick gauze, like a huge white cocoon. The abnormal swelling made the gauze so tight that it seemed like it would burst at any time.
Li Luo recognized her at first sight; she must be the Gao Yue he was looking for!
Bai Ren was originally a little curious about why Li Luo suddenly came to treat Gao Yue, but when he saw the two white foxes following Li Luo, and thought about the injury on Gao Yue's hand, he understood instantly.
It must be that Li Luo's war pets accidentally bit the girl. As their master, Li Luo would naturally come to resolve the matter.
Therefore, Bai Ren did not ask any more questions. Instead, he explained Gao Yue's situation to Li Luo with a serious expression:
"Xiao Li, this patient's condition is really worrying. Although the ruptured ligaments and blood vessels have been sutured, she was sent here too late. Here, we lack sophisticated surgical equipment, and there is a shortage of many key medicines. As a result, some tiny nerves in her hand have completely died. This situation is really not optimistic." Bai Ren sighed softly as he spoke, his brows furrowed even tighter.
Li Luo listened attentively, nodding slightly from time to time to show that he understood. Then he said:
"Okay, I got it. Thank you, Director Bai. These are minor problems. I can solve them."
Her tone was firm and her eyes revealed confidence and composure.
Bai Ren was no longer surprised by Li Luo's confidence.
Thinking back to the time, he had witnessed with his own eyes Li Luo regenerating a patient's severed limb.
The magical scene still makes him feel as if he is in a science fiction blockbuster whenever he recalls it. It is so shocking.
In comparison, this minor nerve necrosis is really a piece of cake for Li Luo and is not worth mentioning.
Bai Ren patted Li Luo's shoulder gently, his eyes full of trust and encouragement, and said:
"Then Xiao Li, you should go and treat the patient first. I have many patients waiting for treatment. I will come back to see you later."
Li Luo smiled and responded:
"It's okay, Director Bai, just go and do your own thing, don't worry about me."
After saying goodbye to Li Luo, Bai Ren turned around and carefully explained a number of precautions to the nurse in charge of the ward, and then he left the ward with peace of mind.
When passing by Liu Zhantang and the other two who were standing at the door, Bai Ren smiled kindly and nodded slightly to them.
Li Luo said to the nurse in charge of this ward:
"Sister Chen, just take care of your own business and don't worry about me."
When the nurse Sister Chen heard this, a friendly smile immediately bloomed on her face. She knew Li Luo's powerful ability very well, so she quickly said:
"Okay, Xiao Li, I'll be busy now. Feel free to call me if you need anything."
Li Luo smiled and nodded, looked firmly at Gao Yue's bed by the window, and walked over.
