Chapter 1565

"Besides, we have such a large business now. We must give back to it," Zhu Shenfu said, his tone light and casual. "Go pack your things and prepare the documents. In half a month, we will return to the inland."

"Alright." Zhu Shengyao did not want to see the Zhu family in the city, but he agreed. "Actually, I don't understand why you help them for so long, Dad. We already helped them last time."

"Enough. Don't say more. I know what I am doing," Zhu Shenfu said. He could not tell the truth, so he stopped his son from continuing the topic.

Zhu Shengyao looked unhappy. "Then, will you see Big Brother this time in the inland?"

She said 'Big Brother,' but her eyes showed disdain. In her mind, the man was just a muddy peasant. If Zhu Shenfu were not there, she would never speak such words.

Zhu Shenfu looked calm. "We will see if we have time. If not, we won't." He was not truly from Four Towns. He feared exposing his identity if he went there.

Seeing his father's attitude, Zhu Shengyao felt relieved. After all, he was the one by his father's side.

Father and son thought differently, but both had hidden agendas. Yet, the result was the same: they would not go to Four Towns.

In the capital, Zhu Xinfu was about to undergo leg bone surgery. Zhu Yanyi would be the main surgeon, with Gu Jingtian assisting.

Originally, Gu Jingtian had nothing to do with this. But Zhu Yanyi thought it was better for her to watch. She wanted her to understand Chinese medicine surgery better, especially since she would use a Medicine Spring array.

Knowing Zhu Yanyi would use a medicine array, Gu Jingtian would have asked to assist even if she did not say so. She had studied it for a long time and borrowed many materials from Zhu Yanyi. But she had never seen it in real life. Now, having the chance to watch Zhu Yanyi set up the array, she naturally wanted to observe carefully.

"Grandpa, don't worry. When the surgery starts, I will use gold needles to anesthetize you. I will also lock your sleep acupoints with gold needles. You will fall asleep. When you wake up, the surgery will be done," Zhu Yanyi said, comforting him. She was afraid Zhu Xinfu might panic.

Zhu Xinfu nodded with a smile, showing he understood.

Zhu Yanyi saw that Zhu Xinfu was not worried at all. She knew her words were unnecessary. But then she thought, if Zhu Xinfu did not have a strong heart, how could she have survived for over forty years in such an environment?

"Dad, rest assured. Mom and I will wait for you outside," Zhu Shunyao said from the side.

For Zhu Xinfu's surgery, everyone in the Zhu family came, except Zhu Yanli, who was still in confinement. Even Xie Xinlian came. Of course, they would not neglect Zhu Yanli; Xie Xinlian would return to her later.

Zhu Yanyi looked at the scene and laughed. "Grandma, Dad, you don't need to be nervous. The surgery takes a bit longer, but it is not difficult. Besides, if you are nervous about this surgery, what will you do when I need to attach a tongue or install eyes later? Won't you be even more nervous?"

Hearing Zhu Yanyi joke at such a time, Zhu Shunyao knew there was no need to worry. But she still glared at her. "It is normal to be nervous, okay? This is your grandpa. My nervousness is care for family."

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "But once we enter the operating room, Grandpa is just my patient. I am the doctor."

"Fine. You decide everything. Do as you say," Zhu Shunyao sighed. He could not argue with his daughter, so he had to accept defeat.

Zhu Yanyi giggled. "Alright, Dad. I will go to the operating room to wait for Grandpa. Don't worry. I guarantee Grandpa goes in whole and comes out perfect."

"What nonsense is this kid saying? What does 'perfect' mean?" Zhu Shunyao was about to scold Zhu Yanyi, but she had already left.

Huang Meiying glared at Zhu Shunyao. "I think Ani is right. Who is Ani? She is the respected Little Divine Doctor outside. For Grandpa's illness, she can certainly complete it perfectly. Why don't you trust her?"

Huang Meiying loved her grandchildren dearly. Hearing her son belittle her granddaughter, she naturally defended her.

Zhu Shunyao was speechless. her mother's fierce nature was hidden, but understandable. If she were not fierce, how could she have dug a tunnel to care for Zhu Xinfu? At least, Zhu Shunyao did not have such resilience.

As soon as Zhu Xinfu was sent into the operating room, Zhu Yanyi personally administered the anesthesia and sleep needles, letting Zhu Xinfu fall into a peaceful sleep.

Seeing Zhu Xinfu asleep, Zhu Yanyi said to the nurse beside her, "You must monitor the patient's heartbeat. During the surgery, the patient's heartbeat is very important. In Chinese medicine surgery, the heartbeat is not recorded by machines. Of course, machines are recording, but the most important thing is manual pulse-taking to count the heartbeat. This is why you intern nurses at the Capital Hospital must first learn to take pulses and count heartbeats."

Actually, this was a basic course for every nurse, but Zhu Yanyi was more cautious.

"I remember, Little Divine Doctor." The nurse was a new intern. There were over twenty new interns this time. Gu Jingtian asked Zhu Yanyi to take one, and Zhu Yanyi did not mind, so she assigned one to her.

The young nurse was named Zhang Xin. She admired the Little Divine Doctor greatly. Knowing she could be an intern nurse beside the Little Divine Doctor, she was extremely happy. So, she listened carefully to everything Zhu Yanyi said.

After giving instructions, Zhu Yanyi said to Gu Jingtian, "Senior Brother, watch my surgery later. If you don't understand the medicine array, ask anytime. Although I am operating, I can still answer your questions. Don't worry about disturbing me."

"Okay." Gu Jingtian knew that since Zhu Yanyi said so, she was fully confident.

Zhu Yanyi checked the time and said to Zhang Xin, "Test the patient's heartbeat and pulse."

"Heartbeat is sixty-eight beats per minute," Zhang Xin reported.

Zhu Yanyi hummed. She casually kneaded Zhu Xinfu's leg and spoke while doing so. "The patient's leg was broken by someone in her early years. It was not treated, only allowed to heal naturally. This caused the meridians to connect wrongly and the bones to shatter. The purpose of this surgery is to piece the shattered bones together and correct the messy meridians. So, first, we must break the leg again."

After speaking, Zhu Yanyi patted Zhu Xinfu's leg twice. Gu Jingtian heard the crisp sound of breaking bones.

"I am using internal energy. Your internal energy, Senior Brother, is not yet at this level. You can borrow external force," Zhu Yanyi said to Gu Jingtian.

Gu Jingtian glanced at Zhu Yanyi. "I know to borrow external force even if you don't say it. Do you think everyone has such deep internal energy as you?"
