Chapter 560 - 461: Catheterization? (Part 3)

"Mr. Lin, I don’t really understand this, can you explain it in more detail?" Wen Ruyu asked, blushing. He indeed had limited knowledge in this area, so naturally, he wanted to consult more when he encountered it.

"Never experienced it?" Lin Miao was somewhat surprised. If Wen Ruyu were seventeen or eighteen, it would be understandable, but he’s already thirty, could he still be a virgin?

The capital is much more fun than Dongshan, how could this young master from a noble family have never visited a brothel even once?

Could it be that my apprentice has found a treasure?

Wen Ruyu’s face was awkward. Such matters are naturally impossible to reveal in front of others, but Lin Miao could be considered his mentor, Xia Zhu’s teacher, and despite his young age, he was still an elder. The medical field really places importance on respecting teachers and valuing the Way.

"Alright, for Xia Zhu’s future happiness, I’ll explain it to you." For his apprentice’s happiness, Lin Miao naturally held nothing back. Of course, this was also an academic exchange.

Wen Ruyu never attended Lin Miao’s specialized "Origin of Life" course. As for Xia Zhu, although they were in a romantic relationship, in their situation, even holding hands was probably the most intimate they got, more than that, Wen Ruyu probably wouldn’t dare.

It was different for him, hugging and kissing was no longer a limitation with his senior sister, but they hadn’t taken that final step yet. However, that would happen sooner or later anyway.

This was the first time Wen Ruyu heard someone explain these strange bits of knowledge. These things, even his master wouldn’t teach, only telling him to understand through reading, and some things were said to become clear once he got married.

But hearing Lin Miao’s explanation, these things are quite necessary to know before marriage.

"I’m going to start the surgery, don’t get distracted." Seeing Wen Ruyu’s expression, Lin Miao knew he had never delved deeply into this area of knowledge. After all, what he was explaining would be hard to understand for ordinary people, but it would be very easy for a doctor with professional knowledge.

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

"I’m going to perform a circumcision now. The key to the success of this surgery is speed and steadiness when making the incision, and of course precision is also very important. After all, even the slightest damage to this little treasure of a man can be fatal. Actually, in cases like Ximen’s, it’s categorized as severe phimosis. If he had it removed earlier, it could have improved the duration of intercourse." With a flick of Lin Miao’s wrist, a gleam of light flashed between his fingers, and the section of skin was removed, with barely any blood seeping out.

It was too fast, fast enough to be shocking.

Wen Ruyu wanted to learn carefully, but ended up seeing nothing. However, he did manage to memorize Lin Miao’s actions just now.

"This part was simple, the tricky part is this hematoma." Lin Miao looked at the fist-sized engorged area. If it were an insignificant hematoma, removing it would be fine. The problem is, if it’s cut, Ximen’s happiness for the rest of his life would be gone.

Let’s try.

Using the Rejuvenation Skill.

Since this is a white-lab rat sent to me, might as well try.

For the hematoma, if the clotted blood inside can be released, it will gradually recover. While it might work for other areas, this part has special functions.

There’s no catheter in this world, but there are other ways to solve this, though Ximen will have to suffer a bit.

Comparing suffering to happiness for the rest of his life, he can still understand which is lighter or heavier.

Make an incision, drain the clotted blood, then use the inner breath of the Rejuvenation Skill to stimulate and accelerate blood circulation. This is the only way to quickly restore function.

If time drags on and the cells die, even immortals wouldn’t be able to save it.

"Ruyu, go find a goose feather, remove the down, and clear out the inside, there can’t be any residue left."

"Mr. Lin, what’s this for?" Wen Ruyu was a bit puzzled.

"Have you ever been to the Jingshi Room in the palace?"

"No." Wen Ruyu shook his head. What normal man goes to such a filthy place?

"For a man to enter the palace, he must undergo a castration. There are various methods: one, cut it off at the root, this method is quick and easy to master, but survival post-surgery depends on fate, and a tube needs to be inserted, otherwise the urethra can become blocked and result in death. The other way is slightly more humane, removing the contents from the two sacks of descendants, rendering this treasure useless and non-functional," Lin Miao explained.

Wen Ruyu shuddered; although he had never been to the Jingshi Room, he had heard a little. Over there, the eunuch in charge of this task is known as Jing Yidao, famous for a single cut, but he had never heard of such meticulous work.

And this Ximen also needed to use the goose feather, presumably for the same reason, to avoid urethral blockage and prevent death by retention.

"Have you thought of where to find it?"

"The food market should have it, right?" Wen Ruyu replied instinctively.

"Yes, in places where they slaughter chickens and geese, they should have some. Get a few more, for backup. You never know when it might come in handy."

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

This item isn’t expensive, but Wen Ruyu, dressed in an official robe, going to find it was quite surprising to the store owner.

But it was not right to ask too many questions.

Under the puzzled gaze of the store owner, Wen Ruyu grabbed a handful of freshly plucked, tubed goose feathers and fled in haste.

Within the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, Wen Ruyu returned.

Lin Miao had already handled Ximen’s post-surgery dressing. The hematoma had reduced by at least two-thirds; after restoring blood flow, he hadn’t intended to fully resolve it in one go. This guy needed to suffer a bit, the rest should recover on its own.

It’s not like his Rejuvenation Internal Breath is free.

However, charging him one thousand taels of silver was too little. If he’d known he’d be using his internal breath, he would’ve asked for three thousand taels. This guy could afford that price.

This goose feather tube still needed to be processed; it couldn’t just be inserted directly inside. It had to be soaked in acetic acid to soften it, then hollowed out, and disinfected. The steps were all written down.

This task naturally fell to Wen Ruyu.

Lin Miao then went to the consultation room, as there were other patients unwilling to leave, insisting on waiting for him to finish the surgery and see them for treatment. There was no choice, they had already taken a number slip. Not seeing them was not an option.
