When Ling Xiao came to his senses when heading to the next world, he immediately found himself lying there, a little confused and with a slight pain in his stomach.
The reason why it is said to be somewhat painful, rather than extremely painful, is because the pain from the soul is more painful, and other pains are as insignificant as the big ones.
But something still felt wrong. What was going on? Ling Xiao frowned slightly, moaned slightly, moved his head slightly, and found that his hands seemed to be tied.
?????There is something wrong with this, why are you tied up? Is it the beginning of kidnapping and blackmail? Just when she was about to get the memory of the original owner, she heard a voice saying: "Wake up, aunt is awake!"
Auntie? This title made me feel bad when I heard it. Coming from a modern society, Ling Xiao's first thought was that she was actually a lot older than she was.
Let me go! After she realized that unmarried women in ancient times were also called aunties, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not just the two of them.
She felt as if her body had been anesthetized, making her whole body a little sluggish. Feeling something was not quite right, she slowly opened her eyes.
A young girl appeared in his sight. She was very surprised at the moment. Ling Xiao could naturally feel her joy, and her tone of voice was very different, belonging to those ancient Chinese types.
Then Ling Xiao felt a kind of tiredness, which was a sign of a lot of damage to her body. In addition, she seemed to be bleeding a lot. When she wanted to move, she felt pain in her abdomen, "Hiss!"
"Aunt! Don't move! Dr. Liao Ji said that aunt will be in great pain when she wakes up, but you have to endure it, otherwise if you bleed again, the doctor won't be able to save you. I'll call someone right now." After saying this,
Then she ran away.
At this moment, Ling Xiao searched the memory of the original owner and determined one thing: this body had just undergone surgery, which was a rare surgical operation and should be considered a general surgery.
Ling Xiao's jaw almost dropped when he heard the news. He never thought that the original owner would undergo surgery in this era. It seemed impossible in this era.
But I quickly gave up this idea, because I remembered that the ancients had surgery very early. This evidence was nothing else, because there were no cameras in ancient times, so there was no imaging data to prove it, and there were no medical records.
Uncertainty.
Moreover, the removal of human organs was not necessarily for treatment, but for other reasons. This behavior of punishing sinners continued until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
How to prove it? So we have to start from the Shang Dynasty. There was a kind of punishment: cutting off the criminal's palms and soles, and cutting off the criminal's nose. This was a bit of a surgical operation.
Why is it said to have the smell of surgery? That's because most of those who were punished survived, instead of dying after the wound was infected. This can be proved by referring to the history of the discovery of Heshi Bi.
These are all actions that smell like surgical operations. It is not entirely certain that they are so-called surgical operations. After all, there is no real case of intestinal dissection and no treatment.
But this does not mean that evidence cannot be obtained. The most famous one is that at the Dawenkou Cultural Site 5,000 years ago, a hole of nearly 30 mm was found in the skull.
There are traces of scratches on this hole, which indicates that it was a so-called brain surgery, that is, a craniotomy. He survived for several years after the operation.
This means that there were surgeries in ancient times. Even without the blessings of disinfection, blood transfusion and other aspects, some operations still had to take risks in order to keep the patient alive.
While some were successful, some were unsuccessful. Generally speaking, surgical operations were relatively risky. I still remember that Hua Tuo once planned to have Cao Cao perform a craniotomy.
As a patient, Cao Cao firmly disagreed with the operation. After all, it was to open the skull of the head, and if it failed, he would die. For this reason, Cao Cao threw Hua Tuo into prison.
But whether it is the skull that has been opened or Cao Cao's experience, it can be proved that surgery did not appear late, but in the later period, the aspect of surgery in traditional Chinese medicine was gradually lost.
I really didn't expect that I would be doing surgery in ancient times. Ling Xiao was a little dumbfounded. What was going on? No wonder she felt like she was being anesthetized before, but she was really anesthetized.
Of course, anesthesia is included in the three key points of surgery, but disinfection and blood transfusion are not there. Especially, there is a fear of losing a lot of blood. As soon as Ling Xiao came over, he felt as if his body had been hollowed out.
My whole body felt like I was about to collapse. It was indeed bleeding too much. There was no such thing as blood transfusion in ancient times. A blood transfusion without knowing the blood type would be life-threatening. If not, it would be fatal.
When Ling Xiao came over after the operation, she felt that the original owner was really suffering. She began to adjust her breathing and added a little bit of tonic to her body. She wanted to get better as soon as possible. She must not lie down like a semi-crippled person.
Unable to move on the couch.
After searching the memory of the original owner, it turned out that the original owner's surname was He, and he was an orphan whose parents both died. The reason for this was that the original owner's father died in a rebellion while he was dispatched as an official.
Rebellion? Ling Xiao frowned after recalling this. This felt a little bad. His father was more or less an official and died outside. He was afraid that the situation outside was not good, or that the original owner's father had offended someone and was retaliated against.
No matter which reason it was, the original owner's little family was changed. When his mother found out that her husband had died, she couldn't sleep for several days, fell into a trance and died, leaving only the original owner's sister and brother.
Go! It's so miserable! Ling Xiao didn't know what to say. Mothers should live well for their children, instead of not sleeping every day and falling to death in the end.
Following Ling Xiao, he discovered that the original owner's father's branch was considered a branch of the He family. There were no close brothers and sisters. There were relatives who had been in the family for several generations. The relationship was relatively distant, and each of them lived a nervous life.
No one wanted to adopt the original owner, because this house didn't have much money in the first place. It also had the original owner's mother's dowry, which was also used to provide for the original owner's father, so the family didn't have much money.
There is only one house left that is not very good and worthless at all. It would cost more to bring two children home. Of course, there is another important reason, that is, the original owner's eldest father is here.
Although the original owner's mother was not in good health, the eldest father was in good health and had certain connections. Generally, the He family was unwilling to confront the old man.
The eldest father only had one daughter, the mother of the original owner, so when he learned that his son-in-law had an accident, he rushed over to support his daughter. Unfortunately, the daughter also had an accident.
But the misfortune that my uncle never expected was not over yet. When he arrived at his son-in-law's house, he found that something had happened again. Someone came here to watch the funeral.
Speaking of which, the original owner was just a six-year-old child who couldn't accept the death of her close relatives one after another. However, because she had a younger brother, as the eldest daughter, she still tried her best to do her part.
Coincidentally, some distinguished guests from the He family came, and among them was a naughty child. This was not a serious legitimate son, but one of those children born from concubines who were favored.
Because the father is the kind of person who indulges his children, and the He family does not dare to argue with distinguished guests, this naughty child wanders around wherever the He family members live.
I don't know what happened, but I arrived at the original owner's house. There was a large group of people shouting and cheering, including many young He family members. After all, they wanted to establish a good relationship with the distinguished guest.
The original owner was a little panicked. She didn't know what these people were doing here, and she couldn't drive them away. Although she remembered some genealogy, she was still too young and had never met those people.
As a daughter of the He family, the original owner was not very familiar with the sisters in the clan. She had just returned with her father's coffin and didn't know these people at all. She didn't know what to do after Zhasha started.
She then heard that the people on the other side looked down on her at all, and the original owner didn't like her very much. The girls from the He family who were similar to her ignored the original owner and thought she was just a slut.
The original owner lives with her parents and lives a very good life. It can be said that she is held in the palm of her parents' hands. Outside, she is supported by others, but here others despise her. How can this satisfy the original owner?
Although the parents were very kind to the original owner and paid great attention to dressing up, the couple cared more about their children's education and had no idea about dressing up.
In the eyes of the couple, a child only needs to be comfortable and elegant, and does not need any fine clothes or jewelry. Therefore, in many aspects, the original owner is incompatible with other girls in the He family.
On the other hand, the other He family girls felt that their status was better than that of the original owner. No matter how they looked at it, they felt that the original owner was too rustic. However, seeing that Ling Xiao was observing filial piety, they rolled their eyes.
In this case, the original owner was not happy to receive those outsiders. Did he understand the rules? Visiting someone else's house where they were doing some business? But because he was also a member of He's family, Ling Xiao didn't know what to say.
Speaking of which, the original owner was quite pretty, with a gentle temperament, and she was the kind of child who was ignored. Even her clothes were not as good as those of other He family ladies' personal maids.
The original owner didn't care either. Her thoughts were influenced by her parents and she didn't care about the appearance of her clothes. In her opinion, keeping warm and clean was enough, and she didn't care about other people's pointing fingers.
It's just that God didn't allow the original owner to take advantage of it. The girls and young men of the He family were better off after all, but the distinguished guest was like a naughty child and wanted to open the coffin to see what was inside.
Of course the original owner was not happy. This completely violated the rules of the mourning hall. How could this be done? She started to stop people and asked them to find an adult to solve the problem.
But the naughty child insisted on seeing what was in the coffin, and the slaves who followed the original owner were not willing to let the other party see it. Firstly, it was disrespectful to the deceased, and secondly, they were afraid that the distinguished guest would be frightened.
The naughty kid didn't know that others were also doing it for his own good. He just felt that his request had not been achieved, and he was so flattered by the people around him that he exploded. The result of repeated obstructions was that he provoked strong resistance.
The naughty boy took out his sword and forced the slaves of the original owner to give way. The slaves did not dare to give way, and they did not dare to completely offend the other party. Many people were injured after a crazy maneuver.
Among them, the most seriously injured one was the original owner, because she was grabbed by the older child and used as a shield. She was accidentally stabbed in the abdomen and almost died.
Fortunately, the original owner's maternal uncle arrived just in time, and a very powerful doctor came with him, and the original owner was saved. However, although the original owner saved her life, she suffered severe abdominal injuries and lost one of her organs forever.
Ling Xiao took advantage of the little maid's call to help and finally found out what happened to the original owner. She really didn't know what to say. She really didn't know how to say this. The original owner had lost her right to be a mother.
Not to mention that giving birth was too painful and dangerous, which simply gave her no choice. The original owner couldn't even have a biological child because the organ that allowed the fetus to grow had been removed, otherwise there would have been a lot of bleeding.
When the people around the original owner found out, they burst into tears. They were really angry. This was a mourning hall, not a playground. As for the eldest father, who was accompanied by many people, he directly drove the He family members who came to send money out of their place of residence.
.
It's no wonder that my uncle was so angry. He was a very cultivated Confucian scholar. He always had a good temper and couldn't help but get angry after knowing that everything about his granddaughter was ruined.
Then he discovered that none of the culprits had been severely punished. Among them, the person who stabbed the original owner said that he would be taught a lesson, but he forgot all about it in the blink of an eye.
All signs point to one thing: if the victim is at fault, he should not have stopped that naughty kid from messing around and let him see what the bones of a man who has been dead for many days look like.
And the daughter of the He family who pulled the original owner over as a shield when she saw the sword coming towards her, still lived a carefree life, the most she did was to kneel down as a punishment.
When the eldest father found out, he was very angry. He took a look at his granddaughter and then went out to work. Ling Xiao didn't know what to say after knowing the whole situation. What would the original owner think?
No matter what, he will live well. In Ling Xiao's view, the original owner should face reality. Since some things cannot be undone, he must face everything head-on.
What will happen to the original owner? Ling Xiao has no way of knowing for the time being. What she knows is not to make the original owner's uncle feel guilty. There are many accidents in life. The original owner's uncle does not need to feel guilty because of this. He doesn't know what will happen.
How will this develop?
Ling Xiao checked in for a while after the little maid went out to call for help, and happened to see the original owner's grandfather. He had aged very fast these days, and he looked ten years old all of a sudden. His hair had specks of white.
It must be because the original owner was injured. When she saw this, she smiled and shouted: "Uncle, I'm fine, but I can't see off my father and mother for the time being."
Master Liu looked at his granddaughter, his eyes a little bitter. Looking at the child with a yellow face, he regretted why he came a little late. If he had arrived earlier, he could have saved his granddaughter.
