Chapter 129: Chapter 122: Blood Docking
Xiao Lin temporarily stopped Niu Niu’s bleeding, and the True Qi of Nine Dragons from his body gently entered Niu Niu’s body, helping her nearly lifeless body resist the arrival of the Grim Reaper.
The onlookers remained indifferent, and some even cast weird glances at Xiao Lin and Xun Xiangxiang, but Xiao Lin and Xun Xiangxiang couldn’t care less about those looks and quickly reached the car.
Xun Xiangxiang’s driving skills were impressive, at least she was adept enough to start the car smoothly, then revved up the engine and moved forward.
"Brother Lin, your car is so powerful!" Xun Xiangxiang didn’t expect that this seemingly unimpressive QQ car could have such power, and she immediately said, "Brother Lin, hold on tight!"
Xun Xiangxiang’s driving skills were not just impressive; they were extraordinary. It was the first time Xiao Lin had seen a girl of sixteen or seventeen drive so wildly. Thanks to the small body of the QQ car, she weaved in and out of traffic, reaching the Yanjing University gates in just three minutes. The students of Yan University were astonished to see this silver QQ car dash into the campus; quite a few recognized it as belonging to the handsome new doctor in the emergency department of the university hospital.
On the way back to Yan University, Xiao Lin, while helping Niu Niu resist the fading life force, made a call to Xia Xue, asking her to prepare plasma. Thinking of plasma, Xiao Lin became anxious, realizing he didn’t know Niu Niu’s blood type, and quickly asked, "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 mine, both are extremely rare RH negative. Mom said donating blood helps those in need, and when I grow up, I want to donate blood just like her!" Niu Niu’s big eyes blinked, and with Xiao Lin’s help, she felt a bit better, but her voice was still weak.
"RH negative?" Deep inside, Xiao Lin was once again stabbed by pain, because of Niu Niu’s mother, because of Niu Niu’s words, and even more because Niu Niu, at the brink of death, still thought about donating blood when she grows up.
With the kind of facilities and resources at the university hospital, it was impossible to have such rare plasma, and RH negative blood type is very resistant to others; a small mistake could lead to disaster, causing the transfusion recipients to die instantly. It was essentially a dead end.
Xiao Lin’s tears were blurred; he simply didn’t know how to save this poor little girl. On the other end of the line, Xia Xue urged, "Xiao Lin, what blood type do we need to prepare? Hurry up and say it!"
"RH negative, can it be here in ten minutes?" Xiao Lin snapped back to reality, his voice a little cold, filled with mixed emotions. Was it anger towards those indifferent bystanders? Or was it the touching kindness of someone like Niu Niu? Humility? Pity? Xiao Lin didn’t know what he was thinking anymore.
"RH negative?" Xia Xue was taken aback. Not to mention the university hospital, even the affiliated hospital of Yan University might not have such plasma. Perhaps only the Yanjing blood bank did, and using it would require an advance application.
"Go and check. We’ll do our best!" Xiao Lin’s voice was extremely low, looking at Niu Niu’s big eyes in his arms, his heart ached. Such a lovely and kind little girl, how much more suffering does she have to endure?
"RH negative? Brother Lin, I’m RH negative!" A plump Xun Xiangxiang driving almost said without hesitation.
"What, you’re RH negative? Are you sure?" At this point, Xiao Lin seemed still a bit skeptical about Xun Xiangxiang’s words, perhaps due to not having a good impression of Xun Xiangxiang over the last few days, using this tone to ask at such a moment.
Normally, Xun Xiangxiang might have argued with Xiao Lin, but now, with life at stake, she didn’t mind Xiao Lin’s tone, firmly nodding, "Yes, I’m RH negative!"
"Mm, good!" Xiao Lin nodded, finally having a solution for the blood issue, meaning Niu Niu’s life could be saved.
At the entrance of Yan University Hospital, Xia Xue and Li Jingyi, along with two other attending doctors from the emergency department, were already waiting. Xiao Mei and Xiao Li pushed the emergency cart, and when the group saw Xiao Lin’s silver QQ car speed towards them, it stopped almost instantly at the hospital entrance.
The passenger side door opened, and Xiao Lin, carrying a blood-soaked Niu Niu, quickly got out of the car, placing Niu Niu on the emergency cart. Xiao Mei and Xiao Li quickly pushed the cart towards the operating room.
"Xiao Lin, we don’t have RH negative plasma at the hospital, but the affiliated hospital has about two bags, totaling approximately 600 milliliters, which will take about fifteen minutes to get here!" Xia Xue said as soon as she saw Xiao Lin get off, turn back to Niu Niu and place her down.
"Mm, that’s fine!" Xiao Lin said as he followed Xiao Mei and Xiao Li forward, continuing, "By the way, quickly prepare the blood transfusion equipment. Xiangxiang is RH negative, and with her help, we should be able to hold on until the affiliated hospital’s plasma arrives!" Knowing the affiliated hospital had two bags of plasma, Xiao Lin was relieved.
At this time, Xun Xiangxiang also got out of the car. Xia Xue was surprised to see Xun Xiangxiang. Although she wasn’t crying anymore, the traces of tears were still faintly visible.
"Xiangxiang, you were driving just now?" Xia Xue walked alongside and asked.
"Mm, 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 cart, Xun Xiangxiang couldn’t help but feel a touch of bitterness in her nose.
"Okay, okay, don’t panic!" Xia Xue wasn’t overly agitated at this moment. Doctors are much stronger when facing life and death than ordinary people, and Xia Xue didn’t know why this Niu Niu caused Xun Xiangxiang to be so emotional. If Xia Xue had witnessed everything Xun Xiangxiang saw, she might have reacted similarly.
Xia Xue looked at Niu Niu and couldn’t help but be moved when she saw a thumb-sized bloody hole in Niu Niu’s head, even seeing the nerve endings below the skull. Such a massive blood hole, who knows how much blood she had lost, combined with her clothes that barely covered her revealing white bones. This little girl was truly resilient for not having fainted from excessive blood loss yet, showing incredible willpower.
Of course, Niu Niu’s willpower was strong because she wanted to earn money to help treat her mother’s illness. However, without Xiao Lin’s Nine Dragons True Qi support, her situation could have been dire.
Even with Xiao Lin’s Nine Dragons True Qi helping Niu Niu fight against the loss of life, Niu Niu’s vital signs were increasingly weak. When the surgery room doors opened, Niu Niu’s eyes seemed about to close, yet she weakly said, "Big brother, did you help me pick up those bottles and cans? I..."
"Hurry up!" Xiao Lin was extremely anxious, shouting out in fear that not doing so would hurt him internally.
No one, including Xia Xue, had ever seen Xiao Lin angry. It was terrifying; his handsome face already had a bit of that demon god feel. No one dared to respond, but their actions were incredibly swift as they quickly prepared various surgical tools once inside the operating room.
"Prepare another bed for direct blood coupling!" Xiao Lin said immediately upon entering the operating room.
"Blood coupling?" Li Jingyi was stunned for a moment. This was a high-difficulty procedure only used in extremely urgent situations. Though it was highly challenging, the advantages were apparent: making full use of external blood without wasting any drop from the donor, and it was extremely fast.
"We don’t have such equipment at our university hospital!" Li Jingyi said.
"Ordinary transfusion equipment will do, but it needs to be bidirectional. I’ll handle the rest!" Xiao Lin planned to use blood coupling to quickly infuse life-saving blood back into Niu Niu’s body.
Moreover, Xiao Lin was now almost sure that the blood hole in Niu Niu’s head wasn’t just about bleeding. The fact that Niu Niu managed to stay conscious until he arrived might be due to something falling into the hole and stimulating her brain. However, it was certain that Niu Niu’s brain wasn’t injured; only a bit of bone fragment remained. Once the fragment was removed, she shouldn’t be in any life-threatening condition.
The emergency room was equipped with almost all necessary tools; they were just rarely used before. Generally, cases were sent to Yan University Hospital, and for a case like Niu Niu’s, the university hospital doctors brought her directly for emergency care, which was unprecedented.
"Xia Xue, you continue to clean Niu Niu’s head wound. Director Li, you work on cleaning Niu Niu’s scraped wounds on her body. Xiao Mei and Xiao Li, you both know how to perform blood coupling, right?" Xiao Lin instructed calmly. Xiao Mei and Xiao Li nodded quickly. It was a skill nurses had to learn despite its difficulty. With both working together, it should be manageable.
"Alright, start the operation!" Seeing Niu Niu’s condition deteriorating, Xiao Lin quickly placed his hand on Niu Niu’s lower abdomen, sending streams of Nine Dragons True Qi flowing like a warm current through Niu Niu’s body to revive the dry blood.
Then, Xun Xiangxiang lay down on another surgery bed, just fifty centimeters away from Niu Niu, and the bed she lay on was about ten centimeters higher than Niu Niu’s surgery bed.
"Dr. Xiao, blood connection is established, but it’s not circulating, there’s no pressure!" Xiao Mei quickly informed Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin nodded, placing his other hand on Xun Xiangxiang’s forehead, calmly asking, "Xiangxiang, do you trust Brother Lin?"
"Yes, I trust you!" Although Xun Xiangxiang didn’t know what Xiao Lin was about to do, she chose to trust him unconditionally at this moment.
"It might be a bit painful, I hope you can endure!" Xiao Lin’s expression was resolute.
"Go ahead!" Xun Xiangxiang slightly closed her eyes.
Suddenly, Xun Xiangxiang felt a warm current entering from above her head, and the pressure increased more and more while her blood circulation accelerated, slightly hindering her breath.
However, it was visible from the blood coupling apparatus that new blood continuously flowed through it into Niu Niu’s body. As Xun Xiangxiang’s fresh blood directly passed into Niu Niu’s body, Niu Niu’s previously pale face gradually regained a hint of redness.
"Xiao Lin, there’s a problem. It seems there are two small bone fragments remaining in the bloody hole in Niu Niu’s head. If they’re not removed, it won’t be suitable to bandage the wound!" Xia Xue said urgently while cleaning the wound. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets on Qidian ().
