Chapter 888: Chapter 888 Block the Way

The medical team was so busy they didn’t even have time for lunch. Luo Qiao took over the treatment of a patient whose lower leg had become infected after an injury. It hadn’t been serious at first, but because it was neglected, it had become particularly severe now.

Yesterday, the patient’s family had brought him to the commune health center, but the doctor there didn’t dare treat him, because it involved debriding the necrotic tissue and there was a fear of damaging the nerves. Knowing that a medical team from Capital City was coming down in the evening to offer free consultations, they took him back home.

They came a bit late today and ended up in Luo Qiao’s team by chance. After examining the patient, Luo Qiao instructed the family to take him to the temporary treatment room behind them, "A few more days and this leg might have been beyond saving."

After hearing this, the family member was scared: "Doctor, you must save my son, he’s not even married yet."

Luo Qiao glanced at the woman beside him: "He’s lucky. Wait outside for now."

After saying this, she entered the treatment room, disinfected her hands, put on gloves, and proceeded to debride the wound, thoroughly removing the pus and dead tissue before applying medicine and bandaging the wound.

She then prescribed some anti-inflammatory medication and emphasized to the family that they could not be careless, must keep the wound clean and dry, avoid contact with water, drink plenty of water, and eat fresh fruits when possible.

They were advised to avoid spicy and other irritating foods, and to eat plenty of protein-rich foods like eggs, meat, and fish. After sending the patient off, she was finally replaced to go have lunch.

A day’s work was much more exhausting than a day in the hospital. After washing up in the evening, she fell asleep on the bed, having no time to think about that certain someone far away.

So it went at each commune, staying three days. There were always patients who had heard the news and rushed over from other places. Luo Qiao would initially face skepticism at each new location, but she quickly proved her capabilities with her medical skills.

After more than a month of tireless work and visiting over a dozen places, everyone in the medical team had lost weight, Luo Qiao included.

This was despite her sneaking into the Spatial Well Water at night after Sister Qin had fallen asleep to replenish her nutrition.

In the last few days, she constantly felt drowsy, initially attributing it to the heavy workload. It wasn’t until their final destination that she realized her menstrual period was delayed and promptly checked her own pulse, only to discover she was pregnant.

After the initial shock came the joy, so for the next few days, she took special care, always finding time to replenish her nutrition in the Spatial Well Water and even ensured the water she drank was switched for Spatial Well Water whenever possible.

After the medical team completed their mission, they rested in Linyi City for half a day before heading back to Capital City the next day. Through this rural free medical consultation trip, everyone had gained a new respect for Luo Qiao: unafraid of hardship, calm and composed, with exceptional professional abilities.

Luo Qiao’s trip to the countryside could be called a full success. She didn’t call Lu Yichen to tell him about her pregnancy, fearing that he might get excited and rush over. Before, she had been checking in with him via hurried phone calls every few days.

He was not in Capital City anyway, as he was away on a mission. She thought it would be better to give him a surprise when she got back, so she only mentioned her return to Capital City when calling her grandparents and Grandpa Gu, without bringing up the pregnancy.

Before leaving, she also bought a lot of pancakes and eight-treasure fermented black beans to take home for the family to taste.

Perhaps everyone was indeed exhausted after more than a month; many fell asleep as soon as they got on the bus. After they had driven for a while, someone blocked the road ahead, boldly standing right in the center of the road.

As the bus came to a stop and the door opened, several figures emerged from the roadside, all wielding weapons.
