419 Uncoagulated Blood (1/2)

”Blackened black ash turns gray, gray fertilizer ash turns gray when it evaporates, evaporated gray ash may turn black when it flies back…” Huo Congjun stared at the hepatic portal vein that Ling Ran sutured, suddenly recited a tongue twister, and said, ”Next line.”

There were a total of seven doctors in the operating theater right then. They looked at each other and dared not continue. They quietly sutured the duodenum, repaired the bile duct, and aspirated the blood. Then, they started to clean the wounds on the four limbs… The liver belonged to Ling Ran and the others were not qualified to touch it.

Huo Congjun pursed his lips and said, ”All of you can't be like this. You did not even speak clearly. In the future, when you attend international meetings as their speaker, how are you going to debate with people on stage? Am I right…? Watch me, gray ash turns black, black fertilizer turns black when it evaporates, evaporated black ash may turn gray when it flies back.”

The doctors who had stayed up for the whole night were about to fall asleep as they listened to him.

A doctor that came from the General Surgery Department to help could not help but say, ”Aren't the recent international meetings conducted in English?”

The operation theater fell silent.

Zuo Liangcai could not help but look at this person and said, ”Doctor Liu, do you think it is suitable for you to talk like this to our department director?”

”Exactly, Doctor Liu. If the senior doctors chats with you and you do not know what to say, you can't just retort like that,” a resident doctor shouted and hoped that the department director could remember him.

Even the circulating nurse today, Nurse Niu, looked at Doctor Liu with scorn and said, ”The young doctors nowadays do not know how to joke, huh?”

Doctor Liu from the General Surgery Department immediately became alert, and his mind was clear. He quickly said, ”No… I felt like sleeping just now. My brain is filled with ammonia, it's as if I'm drunk.”

”It'll be embarrassing for a doctor to be drunk on the operating table,” Zuo Liangcai said. He made his tone sound more serious and said, ”But I do believe that your brain is filled with ammonia.”

A few of them started to chuckle.

”Are you awake now?” Huo Congjun smiled and looked at Doctor Liu from the General Surgery Department. He now looked more cheerful.

Doctor Liu said in a low voice, ”My mind is awake now. I'm sorry about that, Department Director Huo. I was just spewing nonsense.”

”You weren't spewing nonsense. It's just that our understanding is different.” Huo Congjun raised his head, laughed, and said, ”Don't look down on the international academic languages. They moved from Latin to German, then to English. This is a process that happened over centuries, you know? But, in my opinion, since the doctors in our country had always focused on our country's medical cases, there's no harm in publishing research articles or speaking in an international meeting in our mother tongue.”

Doctor Liu looked at Huo Congjun with a dazed look. ”You're right.”

”Right? So, it's important to be eloquent in our mother tongue.” Huo Congjun faced Doctor Liu and based his teeth. ”There's a small green donkey called Li Lulu in the house of the red carp…”

Doctor Liu did not quite understand.

”If you do not know the next line, you can just follow what Department Director said,” Zuo Cidian sighed and felt that this fellow was as dumb as a host who entered the KTV for her first time. He needed to teach him how to talk properly. This person was not professional at all, and most importantly, he was not cute.

Doctor Liu hesitated a little before he said, ”There's a small green donkey named Li Lulu in the house of the red carp…”

Huo Congjun snickered before he burst into laughter.

The atmosphere in the operating theater instantly became more relaxed.

Zuo Liangcai looked at Doctor Liu and teased him. ”That's right. You're full of potential.”

Doctor Liu was wrought with anxiety and explained again, ”I was really going to fall asleep just now. I can't remember what I said.”

Then, Zuo Liangcai smiled. ”Just because you're tired, you decided to tug the tail of a lion?”

Doctor Liu was stunned and frowned. He said loudly, ”We're doctors, there are no one's tails that we should be worried of tugging.”

Huo Congjun redirected his gaze gently 120 degrees to the left before he rolled his eyes five times and a half.

Zuo Liangcai was so terrified that his knees were weak.

”His tears dried up, but his fresh blood could not coagulate. He was covered in blood, and it was beautiful…” A familiar sound of Teng Ge'er's Wounded Eagle was heard from Department Director Huo's phone.

The young doctors from the Emergency Department already knew how to tap the rhythm according to the song when they heard the ringtone of their boss's phone.

The resident doctor who was responsible for aspiration was someone to whom no one ever managed to remember his name because of his plain looks. He could not help but take a look at the patient's abdominal cavity. The resident doctor was skeptical, 'Blood, please don't coagulate now.'

”Pick up the phone,” Huo Congjun said to the circulating nurse.
