Chapter 349 Zhao Tianshan Faints (4)
Sunlight filtered through the dappled shadows of the trees, casting shimmering spots of light on the floor of the technical office.
Xia Tian sat behind his desk, looking at Zhao Tianshan, who had a solemn expression.
The pen in my hand tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound.
"If I were to do it, the success rate would be around 80%!"
Xia Tian's voice was steady, yet carried a hint of barely perceptible tension.
He pushed up his glasses, his gaze fixed intently on Zhao Tianshan behind the lenses.
"After the surgery, I definitely won't be able to do such high-intensity work or high-intensity training anymore."
Zhao Tianshan clenched his fists unconsciously, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, but he never made a sound.
Xia Tian looked at him without saying a word, waiting for his response.
The incessant chirping of cicadas outside the window only amplified the oppressive atmosphere inside.
After a long while, Zhao Tianshan finally raised his head, his eyes filled with struggle.
"What will happen if I don't have the surgery?"
Summer took a deep breath, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the fountain pen in her hand.
"If you don't have the surgery, you could become paralyzed at any time!"
He slowly got up, walked to the window, and turned his back to Zhao Tianshan, as if this would lessen the weight of his words.
"Because it's uncertain whether the piece of shrapnel in the back of your head will shift."
"If the displacement continues, and if it gets to the point of compressing the spinal cord, then you will be paralyzed."
"Of course, if the shrapnel doesn't shift by chance, you could faint at any time."
"Just like this time, they suddenly fall into a coma without any warning."
As Xia Tian finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Zhao Tianshan felt a chill run down his back, and cold sweat slowly slid down his spine, soaking his shirt.
"Mr. Xia, let me think about it some more!"
His voice was so hoarse that even he felt unfamiliar with it, as if it were drifting from a very far place.
The moment the door was gently closed, Xia Tian let out a heavy sigh.
The sunlight outside the window suddenly became dazzling. He rubbed his sore eyes, feeling helpless.
He knew how difficult this decision was for Zhao Tianshan.
However, without surgery, Zhao Tianshan could fall into a coma at any time.
Although Xia Tian was confident he could save Zhao Tianshan.
But there are always times in summer when you can't take care of that.
Zhao Tianshan didn't know how he got back to his dormitory.
He sat mechanically on the edge of the bed, staring blankly into space.
The light outside the window gradually dimmed, but he was completely unaware.
When Wei Fugui returned to the dormitory, Zhao Tianshan was still in the same position, like a statue.
At first, Wei Fugui did not pay attention to Zhao Tianshan's unusual behavior.
As night gradually fell, Zhao Tianshan remained motionless.
Wei Fugui'er finally realized something was wrong, her voice filled with panic.
"Captain, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
No matter how he asked, Zhao Tianshan didn't respond.
The setting sun at dusk dyed the sky over Saihanba blood red.
Wei Fugui stumbled and ran to Xia Tian's dormitory, panting as he called out.
"Engineer Xia, no... something terrible has happened!"
He braced himself on his knees, panting heavily, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, his face flushed red.
"Old Wei, what's wrong? Don't worry, catch your breath first!"
Xia Tian hurriedly handed over a glass of water, and looking at Wei Fugui's flushed face, a sense of foreboding welled up in her heart.
"The captain doesn't know what's wrong with him either; he's been spacing out for a long time."
"He wouldn't answer when I asked him anything, he just sat there in a daze."
"He hasn't even had dinner yet!"
Wei Fugui finished speaking in one breath, his voice trembling with tears.
Xia Tian's expression changed drastically, her heart filled with self-reproach.
He got up and gave Meng Yue a few instructions, then followed Wei Fugui'er to Zhao Tianshan's dormitory.
Pushing open the door, a suffocating atmosphere hit me, as if it could suffocate me.
Zhao Tianshan sat there stiffly, his eyes unfocused, as if his soul had been ripped away and he had lost all vitality.
Xia Tian dismissed Wei Fugui and Erhuang, walked to Zhao Tianshan's side, and called out softly.
"Old Zhao, Old Zhao!"
There was no response. He reached out and nudged Zhao Tianshan's shoulder, but it felt as stiff as a wooden board.
Left with no other choice, Xia Tian quickly took out a silver needle.
The silver needles gleamed with a cold light in the setting sun.
He located Zhao Tianshan's Hegu acupoint, flicked his wrist, and the silver needle pierced precisely.
As the silver needles stimulated him, Zhao Tianshan's fingers twitched slightly, but his eyes remained glazed over.
Seeing Zhao Tianshan's condition, Xia Tian sighed helplessly.
He thought he had made a perfect plan, but he underestimated the impact of this news on Zhao Tianshan.
This tough guy who risked his life on the battlefield was surprisingly vulnerable when faced with the news that he was paralyzed and bedridden.
Summer has really shot himself in the foot!
Xia Tian sighed softly and then applied acupuncture to acupoints such as Baihui, Sishencong, and Yintang.
The room was so quiet that the only sound could be the faint audible whirring of silver needles piercing the skin.
Time passed by minute by minute, as if it had stopped.
Finally, Zhao Tianshan took a deep breath and his eyes gradually focused.
"I'm alive!"
He touched his body with trembling hands, as if to confirm that this was not a dream.
His gaze then gradually shifted to Xia Tian beside him, and his eyes regained their light.
"Mr. Xia, I need to have surgery!"
Summer felt a surge of joy, but her eyes also welled up with tears.
"Okay, I'll go to Beiping with you in a few days."
"Go to Peking Union Medical College Hospital for surgery!"
Xia Tian gave Zhao Tianshan a series of detailed instructions, covering everything from diet and daily life to emotional regulation.
When we left Zhao Tianshan's dormitory, night had already enveloped the entire forest farm.
Instead of returning to his own dormitory, he headed towards Yu Zhenglai's house.
As soon as you push open the door to Yu Zhenglai's house, the aroma of food wafts out.
"Uncle Yu!"
Summer called out.
When Yu Zheng saw the visitor, he put down his chopsticks and greeted him warmly.
"Xia, have you eaten yet? Want to eat something together?"
"No, Uncle Yu, I've already eaten. You should eat!"
"By the way, where's my aunt?"
"Do you need to see your aunt? She went to visit some neighbors and probably won't be back for a while."
Summer took a deep breath and smiled.
"Uncle Yu, Old Zhao has agreed to have the surgery!"
"Really? That's great! Xia, you always have such a good idea!"
Yu Zheng stood up excitedly, his eyes shining with satisfaction.
Upon hearing this, Xia Tian scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.
He knew perfectly well that Zhao Tianshan agreed to the surgery not because of Zhang Manling.
It was because of Zhao Tianshan himself.
It is said that there is great terror between life and death, and this is absolutely true.
No one knows what happened when Zhao Tianshan was lost in thought this afternoon.
Fortunately, although the process was somewhat tortuous, the result was ultimately good.
