Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 775 It’s Fine as Long as You’re Not Dead
"If the shaking is too severe, it can easily tear the wound. What if it gets injured again?"
"It wouldn’t be worth it, would it?"
"Okay, I know, just do as you did just now."
The uncle was still very attentive, always watching.
"Um, right."
The two carefully switched positions, and only after seeing the uncle’s operation did Dr. Yu stand up with confidence.
Lu Jing was just stuck halfway up the mountain depression.
Seeing this, Yu hurriedly stepped forward to lend a hand:
"Dr. Lu, come, let me help you down."
Lu Jing trusted Yu completely and immediately handed over his hand.
Finally, he didn’t have to climb down step by step, anxiously holding his breath. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
The ground was too slippery, a careless move could lead to a fall.
Lu Jing dared not take that risk.
With someone helping, of course, the speed was much faster.
Once he was finally down:
"The feeling of having solid ground under your feet is really good!"
He said, quite moved.
"Are you okay?"
Lu Jing shook his head:
"I’m fine, very well, thank you. I’ll treat you to hotpot when we get back."
Dr. Yu also smiled:
"Sure, as long as Captain Jiang has no objections."
Lu Jing suddenly felt embarrassed for a moment, it seemed everyone knew someone was a jealous type?
Ahem, ahem, ahem.
"Stop the chatter, back to work!"
"Alright, alright."
The teasing lightened everyone’s heavy mood considerably.
Lu Jing squatted down and began to check the village chief again.
The more he examined, the more concerned his expression became.
"I’m afraid it’s not just a fracture."
Hmm???
The village uncle was the first to ask:
"If it’s not a fracture, then what is it?"
Lu Jing pursed his lips:
"Uncle, please help Yu to lift the upper body of the village chief a bit. I need to feel his lumbar spine."
Clearly, the uncle was panicked.
"Okay, okay."
Yu, too, put aside his relaxed attitude, squatted down with the village uncle, and according to Dr. Lu’s instructions, they lifted the village chief.
"Dr. Lu, is this okay?"
"It’s okay, hold it like that."
"Okay."
Lu Jing felt around several times with his hands, very carefully and meticulously.
The gravity never left his face; it hung there all this time.
After about half a minute or so, he finally spoke:
"Put him down."
???
Not just the village uncle, even Yu was curious now.
"Dr. Lu, what exactly is the situation?"
Lu Jing sighed:
"It’s not a fracture, it’s completely severed."
Severed?
That’s really troublesome.
Even with surgery, a full recovery couldn’t be guaranteed.
And there’s a very high chance he’ll be wheelchair-bound for life.
For someone living in the mountains, it’s not just the future living and medical expenses, but mainly that he wouldn’t be able to do anything anymore.
The village chief was only in his fifties; by rights, he should be able to keep working for another ten or twenty years without any problems.
But now, he would have to stop here; could he mentally handle that?
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
However, the village chief himself was still relatively rational at this moment:
"Ah, it’s okay, at least I’m not dead."
No matter what, he still clung to life.
If the heavens didn’t take him, what could he do?
He would have to live life as it came, wouldn’t he?
Though he said this, only he knew what his feelings really were.
Lu Jing took a few deep breaths:
"Please lift him up again; I need to perform emergency treatment."
"Ei, ei, okay."
No one spoke anymore, only the sound of the gauze being cut and the village chief’s occasional groans of pain could be heard.
