Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Heating Up Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Heating Up The surgery had finally ended.
Bai Xiao huddled in the corner, wrapped in a heavy coat.
At that moment, everyone understood why Bai Xiao had insisted on bringing a heavy coat with her. They had thought she was crazy; even if it was to visit a new mother and bring gifts, a heavy coat was certainly not the first choice. Winter here was not cold at all, at most a couple of light layers were sufficient.
A heavy coat was indeed unnecessary equipment. Nobody wore heavy coats here; even a raincoat was more suitable.
But now, who would tease Bai Xiao, looking at how her face was as white as paper, her upper and lower teeth desperately clashing together? Anyone touching her would understand! Bai Xiao was colder than a block of ice.
Doctor Wei had noticed something was wrong with Bai Xiao, “Doctor Bai! What happened to you?”
Bai Xiao removed the silver needle from the acupuncture, placed it back into the acupuncture kit, “It’s… nothing! This is… my… depletion from acupuncture’s… qi, leading… to… hypothermia, it’s nothing, just… let me warm up, slowly… I’ll be fine. Let me… recover slowly.”
By this time, everyone understood why Bai Xiao had been eating chocolate and drinking ginger sugar water; hypothermia could be deadly.
The new mother had now fallen into a deep sleep, and surprisingly, removing the silver needles did not cause her too much pain. Who wouldn’t find it miraculous?
Looking at Bai Xiao, trembling like a bop bag, her entire body shaking like a sieve.
Doctor Wei made a decisive call, “Come on, let’s all hold Bai Xiao. Body heat is more effective than any heavy coat.” They were medical students and obviously knew what to do.
Thus, Doctor Wei took the lead! Three nurses joined in, and the four of them opened their arms, tightly embracing Bai Xiao. Bai Xiao was like a big rice dumpling! She was held tightly by four people, while Doctor Wei and Liu Yun continuously rubbed her arms and legs, accelerating her blood circulation.
The room was quiet, save for their breathing sounds and the noise of their movements.
The midwife was terrified. It was her first time seeing a live person being cut open, the child bloodily pulled out of the stomach, and the abdomen sewn up like clothing, yet the person did not die, and lived well. How could she not be scared?
Looking at Doctor Wei and Bai Xiao, she saw them as celestial beings from heaven. Every few years, one or two women in their place would die from complications during childbirth.
Looking at these people, they were simply miraculous.
Being cut open and still not dying, what kind of medical skills were these?
The midwife left with a reverential heart. She made a special trip to the village to tell everyone that the doctors at the foot of the mountain were like mages with magic powers, capable of bringing the dead back to life, and surviving an opening of the abdomen.
This tale spread like wildfire, exciting everyone in the village.
Almost every household was discussing Doctor Wei’s incredible abilities; they saw these individuals as celestial beings and held them in great reverence.
Bai Xiao finally recovered in the room, thanks to the four people warming her up. It was probably an unrivaled scene.
Everyone, despite being in the peak of summer, still got goosebumps from Bai Xiao’s chilling effect, before finally recovering.
“Okay, okay, I’m fine now, thank you all!” Bai Xiao finally spoke normally.
Four women collapsed on the bamboo bed, across the bed were the lady of the house and the child.
