Chapter 1234: Chapter 1212 Preparation Work

Manbao came in carrying a medicine box, and Sixth Young Master Xiang immediately made room for her. Manbao handed over the medicine package to Xiang Chang, "This is medicine for your young master, this is ointment, applying it should speed up the wound healing."

Xiang Chang took note, while Xiang Ming cared more about his foot. He tentatively asked, "Miss Zhou mentioned that my Achilles tendon could be reattached..."

Manbao said, "I have already informed Shopkeeper Zheng and Imperial Doctor Zheng. Once they gather the necessary people, we’ll start researching. Your health foundation is poor; you need to nourish your body before undergoing surgery."

Xiang Ming sighed with relief and smiled, "Much obliged to Doctor Zhou Junior."

Seizing the moment, Sixth Young Master Xiang requested that Xiang Ming stay here for treatment, as their rented place couldn’t compare to this location, not to mention Zhou Man being here too.

Manbao didn’t mind; she agreed immediately since when the real surgery happens, she’d have to monitor daily anyway.

Manbao examined Xiang Ming, paying extra attention to his ankle. Although somewhat reluctant, she let Keke scan his body data.

Keke happily deducted some points and then conducted the scan.

Manbao decided to input the data into an anthropomorphic model after eating and resting, to first see the surgical results on it.

Manbao’s points are a bit sorry now, mainly because she was stabbed and fell into the water earlier. Keke bought two breathing apparatuses to save them, which are still kept in the system space.

Since the devices were technologically far advanced from this era, they deducted many points from Manbao.

Through this event, Manbao also realized that her usual frugality is the right approach. Points should not be spent carelessly so that there would be enough to buy life-saving items in critical moments.

Keke insisted that she is just stingy, just like her father.

Mr. Jiang and they had already eaten and were sitting in the study with Mr. Zhuang chatting over tea. Through the window, seeing Manbao bustling around the yard, even taking her meal back to her room to eat while holding a book, Mr. Jiang turned to Mr. Zhuang and sighed, "I’ve mentored many disciples, but disciples as self-disciplined as her are rare. Junmei is very fortunate."

Mr. Zhuang sipped his tea with a smile and humbled himself with a few words.

Mr. Chen was a bit curious, "Wasn’t her father posthumously granted the title of Governor of Mianzhou? Why is she still studying medicine at Jishi Hall?"

Mr. Zhuang calmly said, "She is a healer by nature, so naturally she must study medicine. I don’t have much left to teach her; I just lecture three times every ten days and assign some work, that’s all."

Mr. Jiang chanced to flip through the homework on the desk before him, and became curious, "Is this homework Bai Shan’s, or Bai Erlang’s?"

Mr. Zhuang looked and said, "It’s Zhou Man’s."

Mr. Jiang: ...

Seeing his expression, Mr. Chen also got curious and stood up to take a look.

Manbao’s writing was very neat, quite suitable for exams and transcription, so Mr. Chen was able to read it swiftly.

However, he did not skim through; instead, he read the essay thoroughly.

After a while, he closed the homework and sighed with Mr. Zhuang, "Such an article... It’s a waste for her to study medicine."

Mr. Zhuang: "...The virtue of saving lives and aiding the injured, how could that be wasted?"

Mr. Jiang also nodded, "Brother Chen is spot on."

Mr. Chen thought about it and then, putting down his notebook, shook his head and said: "I originally thought that she should learn female arts like needlework and cooking, or music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Now it seems, with her literary flair and insight, pursuing those would be a waste."

Mr. Zhuang slightly curled his lips upward.

At this point, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Chen were no longer interested in the legendary story of Mingxue, but instead became curious about how Mr. Zhuang taught his three disciples.

Thus, the three teachers began discussing topics on education and continued until Bai Shan and the others finished school, still feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

After finishing her lunch, Manbao took out the treatment plan she had made for Mingxue, familiarized herself with it, then closed the doors and windows, and went into the system to look for an anthropomorphic model.

Manbao took data from Keke, entered it bit by bit into the anthropomorphic model’s system, and watched various unhealed wounds start appearing on his body, his bodily data began to decline, and his ankle also began to twist.

Once everything was ready, Manbao contacted Teacher Mo.

Keke helped to record and sent the video to Teacher Mo.

Teacher Mo checked the patient’s data, glanced at the lying anthropomorphic model, and told Manbao: "The break has been too long, with your environment and medications, even if the tendons are connected, the rehabilitation effects might not be ideal."

Teacher Mo also replied by video to Manbao. It wasn’t difficult, although it wasn’t face-to-face video linking, but this method of video exchange was also very fast, and both teacher and student were accustomed to this mode of communication.

He skimmed a notebook from the shelf, which he had been discussing with her since Manbao was jailed, regarding Mingxue’s case, with a thick volume of treatment plans developed based on his combination of various data and colleagues’ opinions.

While flipping through it he told Manbao: "I’ve told you before about tendon ruptures, oh, what you call ’foot tendons’, because their regenerative capability is limited, it took humanity until the mid-21st century to tackle this issue. And it wasn’t until the 22nd century that medication was developed to ensure the activity of tendons and ligaments..."

While Teacher Mo was still recording, Manbao took the opportunity to open her toolkit. When Teacher Mo’s video came, she sat next to the anthropomorphic model and watched it, propping her chin up.

"...I and two colleagues conducted reciprocal experiments, reverse-engineering the solution, combined with various medicinal materials from your place, we barely synthesized a type of ointment. However, I doubt very much whether your existing technology can replicate it."

Though expressing doubts, Teacher Mo still told her the necessary medicinal materials, quantities, and the process for making the ointment.

He attached a video.

Manbao just clicked on it, glanced, and then closed it; in the video, aside from the medicinal materials placed on a plate, she hadn’t seen any of the things inside.

However, since the medicinal materials were available, she decided she would study them later when she had time. But for now...

Manbao recorded the video and sent it over, "I’ve decided to make an incision first to see if I can reconnect the tendon. I will study how to produce the ointment tonight."

Teacher Mo had no problem with that, since the anthropomorphic model could be reset with one click after use, as long as it didn’t suffer destructive damage, such as being completely severed into pieces or burned by fire, everything could be restored with a click.

Manbao had Keke record the video of her performing the surgery, which she planned to discuss with Teacher Mo later, and she herself also wanted to watch it.

Thus, Manbao brandished the surgical knife, smiled with curved eyes, looked at the ankle of the anthropomorphic model, and made the incision...
