Chapter 128: Chapter 122 Blood Docking
Xiao Lin temporarily helped to stop the bleeding for Niu Niu, the True Qi of the Nine Dragons in his body gently entered Niu Niu’s body, helping her already lifeless body resist the advent of the Grim Reaper.
The passers-by remained indifferent, and some even cast peculiar glances at Xiao Lin and Xun Xiangxiang. But Xiao Lin and Xun Xiangxiang couldn’t care less about those gazes, as they quickly arrived at the car.
Xun Xiangxiang’s driving skills were quite good, at least she was proficient in shifting gears and starting the car, then increased the horsepower to advance.
"Brother Lin, your car has such strong horsepower!" Xun Xiangxiang was surprised that this unremarkable QQ car had such good horsepower, and then said, "Brother Lin, hold on tight!"
Xun Xiangxiang’s driving skills were not just good; they were excellent. Xiao Lin was witnessing for the first time a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl driving so crazily. With the QQ car’s small size, she maneuvered through traffic swiftly, reaching Yan University’s entrance in just three minutes. Yan University’s students were taken aback by the sight of the silver QQ car racing into the campus, many recognizing it as belonging to the attractive doctor recently stationed at the university hospital’s emergency department.
On the way back to Yan University, Xiao Lin continued to aid Niu Niu in resisting the vanishing life force while calling Xia Xue, instructing her to prepare the plasma. When mentioning plasma, Xiao Lin got anxious and realized he hadn’t clarified Niu Niu’s blood type, quickly asking, "By the way, Niu Niu, what’s your blood type?"
"I know, my mom used to donate blood often. She said her blood is exactly the same as Niu Niu’s, both extremely rare RH negative. Mom said donating blood is to help those in need, and when I grow up, I want to donate blood regularly like her!" Niu Niu blinked her big eyes, and with Xiao Lin’s help, she felt a bit better, but her voice was still weak.
"RH negative?" Deep within Xiao Lin’s heart, he was once again pierced with pain, because of Niu Niu’s mother, because of Niu Niu’s words, and even more so because Niu Niu, in the face of life-threatening danger, still thought of growing up and donating blood.
The university hospital was unlikely to have such rare plasma, and RH negative blood significantly rejects other blood types. Any mistake could trigger a catastrophic event, causing the transfusion recipient to die on the spot. This was practically a death trap.
Xiao Lin’s tears blurred his vision, unsure how to save this poor little girl. Xia Xue urged from the other end of the line, "Xiao Lin, what blood type do we need? Hurry up and tell me!"
"RH negative, can it be delivered within ten minutes?" Xiao Lin snapped back to reality, his voice was a bit cold, filled with complex emotions—anger towards the indifferent passers-by? Or touched by Niu Niu’s kindness? Humility? Sympathy? Xiao Lin didn’t know what he was thinking.
"RH negative?" Xia Xue was more stunned on the other end; not even the university hospital, and maybe not even the Yan University’s First Hospital, might have such plasma. Perhaps only the Yanjing blood bank has it, and it requires prior application to use.
"Go and check, we’ll do our best!" Xiao Lin’s tone was extremely dejected, looking at Niu Niu with big eyes in his arms, his heart ached. How much suffering must such a lovely and kind little girl endure?
"RH negative? Brother Lin, I am RH negative too!" Xun Xiangxiang almost instantly said without hesitation while driving.
"What, you are RH negative? Are you sure?" At this point, Xiao Lin still seemed a bit doubtful about Xun Xiangxiang’s words, probably due to the not-so-good impression left by her antics over the past few days, even in such urgent moments, speaking to her in this manner.
Typically, Xun Xiangxiang might have argued with Xiao Lin, but considering life was at stake, she was aware of the gravity of the situation and wasn’t bothered by Xiao Lin’s tone. She confidently nodded, "Yes, mine is RH negative!"
"Alright, great!" Xiao Lin nodded; the issue of blood was finally settled, and Niu Niu’s life was saved.
At the entrance of Yan University Hospital, Xia Xue and Li Jingyi, along with two attending physicians from the emergency department, were already waiting, while nurses Xiao Mei, Xiao Li, and others pushed along an emergency stretcher. The group saw Xiao Lin’s silver QQ car charging towards them, almost stopping instantly at the hospital entrance.
The passenger seat door opened, and Xiao Lin swiftly emerged from the car with the bloodstained Niu Niu in his arms, hurriedly placing her on the emergency stretcher. The nurses Xiao Mei, Xiao Li, and others quickly pushed the stretcher towards the operating room.
"Xiao Lin, we don’t have RH negative plasma in the hospital, but the First Hospital has about two bags of 600 ml each, and it should arrive in about fifteen minutes!" Xia Xue announced upon seeing Xiao Lin, after he settled Niu Niu.
"Alright, it’s enough!" Xiao Lin responded, walking alongside Xiao Mei and Xiao Li, and continued, "By the way, quickly prepare the blood transfusion equipment; Xiangxiang is RH negative. With her support, we should be able to wait until the First Hospital’s plasma arrives!" Knowing the First Hospital had two bags of plasma, Xiao Lin felt relieved.
At this moment, Xun Xiangxiang also got out of the car, and Xia Xue curiously glanced at her. Although Xun Xiangxiang wasn’t crying anymore, faint traces of previous tears could be seen.
"Xiangxiang, did you drive the car just now?" Xia Xue asked while walking.
"Yes, Sister Xue, quickly draw my blood to save Niu Niu; she’s so pitiful!" As soon as she saw Niu Niu lying on the emergency stretcher, Xun Xiangxiang couldn’t help but feel a pang in her nose.
"Okay, okay, don’t panic!" At this moment, Xia Xue wasn’t overly emotional. Compared to ordinary people, doctors are much stronger when facing life and death. Moreover, Xia Xue didn’t know why this little girl Niu Niu caused Xun Xiangxiang to be so agitated. If Xia Xue had witnessed everything Xun Xiangxiang saw, she might have felt the same way.
Xia Xue looked at Niu Niu and saw a thumb-sized blood hole on her head, even revealing the nerve endings beneath the skull. She couldn’t help but be moved. Such a huge wound, it’s hard to tell how much blood she had lost. Her clothes were so tattered that they exposed her white bones, yet this little girl was incredibly resilient. She still hadn’t fainted from excessive blood loss, showcasing an astonishing willpower.
Of course, Niu Niu’s willpower was strong because she kept thinking about earning money to help treat her mother’s illness. However, without Xiao Lin’s True Qi of Nine Dragons supporting her, her condition might have been much worse by now.
Even with Xiao Lin’s True Qi of Nine Dragons helping Niu Niu resist the loss of life, her vital signs were growing increasingly weaker. When the door of the operating room opened, Niu Niu’s eyes seemed about to close. Yet at this moment, she weakly asked, "Big Brother, did you collect all those bottles and cans for me? I..."
"Move faster!" Xiao Lin was extremely anxious, unable to hold back and shouted, fearing that if he didn’t, he would somehow injure himself internally.
No one, including Xia Xue, had ever seen Xiao Lin angry like this. It was terrifying, with his handsome face taking on shades of a demon or a God of Slaughter. No one dared to respond verbally, but their actions were swift. Upon entering the operating room, they quickly prepared various surgical instruments.
"Set up another bed, and start direct blood transfusion!" The moment Xiao Lin entered the operating room, he instructed immediately.
"Direct blood transfusion?" Li Jingyi was taken aback. This was a highly challenging procedure, typically undertaken in extremely critical situations. However, its advantages were clear: making full use of external blood, ensuring no blood from the donor was wasted, and it was extremely fast.
"We don’t have that kind of equipment at our university hospital," Li Jingyi replied.
"Ordinary transfusion equipment will do, but make it bidirectional. I will handle the rest!" Xiao Lin was planning to use direct blood transfusion to quickly reinfuse the life-giving blood Niu Niu had lost back into her body.
Furthermore, Xiao Lin was almost certain that the blood hole on Niu Niu’s head was not just a simple bleeding issue. The fact that Niu Niu remained alert until he arrived suggested that something might have fallen into the hole and was stimulating her brain. However, it was clear that her brain wasn’t injured, just some bone fragments remained. As long as the fragments were removed, there should be no life-threatening problems.
The emergency room was equipped with most of the necessary tools, though they were rarely used. Typically, patients were sent to Yan University’s affiliated first hospital. This was the only case where university hospital doctors brought back a patient in such a condition for emergency treatment.
"Xia Xue, you continue to clean the wound on Niu Niu’s head. Director Li, you handle the abrasions on Niu Niu’s body. Xiao Mei and Xiao Li, you two know how to perform direct blood transfusion, right?" Xiao Lin calmly directed. Xiao Mei and Xiao Li nodded quickly. This was something nurses had to learn. Although it was a bit challenging, two people working together would not have any problem.
"Alright, you may begin!" Seeing Niu Niu’s condition deteriorating, Xiao Lin quickly placed his hand under Niu Niu’s lower abdomen, sending waves of True Qi of Nine Dragons like a warm current through her body, stimulating her nearly dried-up blood.
Subsequently, Xun Xiangxiang lay on another operating table, only fifty centimeters away from Niu Niu. The bed Xun Xiangxiang was lying on was about ten centimeters higher than Niu Niu’s surgery table.
"Dr. Xiao, the blood connection is complete, but there’s no flow, no pressure!" Xiao Mei quickly reported to Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin nodded, placing his other hand on Xun Xiangxiang’s Tian Ting point, calmly asked, "Xiangxiang, do you trust Brother Lin?"
"Yes, I trust!" Xun Xiangxiang didn’t know what Xiao Lin wanted to do but chose to trust him unconditionally at this moment.
"There’s going to be a little pain; I hope you can endure it!" Xiao Lin’s expression was determined.
"Go ahead!" Xun Xiangxiang slightly closed her eyes.
Suddenly, Xun Xiangxiang felt a warm current entering from the top of her head, and then, as the pressure on her head increased, the circulation of blood in her body sped up. Breathing became slightly difficult.
However, as seen on the blood connection apparatus, new blood was continuously flowing through the device into Niu Niu’s body. As the new blood from Xun Xiangxiang’s body flowed directly into Niu Niu’s system, her once pale complexion gradually showed a hint of color.
"Xiao Lin, there’s a problem. It seems there are two small bone fragments left in the wound on Niu Niu’s head. If we don’t remove them, the wound may be unsuitable for bandaging!" Xia Xue said anxiously while cleaning the wound. (To be continued. If you enjoy this story, feel free to visit Qidian () to vote for it. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
