Chapter 126 - Hot Blood for the Heart
There was an English merchant ship of the largest tonnage on the port of Naga. It was clearly the night when the calm sailors would all sleep, but the merchant ship was brightly lit and the deck was filled with shadows. The merchant ship was on high alert.
Xiao Letian stood at the bow of the ship and watched the quiet Naha Harbor worriedly. From time to time, he would call for a messenger to issue orders. Beside him was the captain of the merchant boat, who also prepared a bottle of treasured aged aged wine for Xiao Letian.
”Mr. Xiao, take a drink and relax. You have already taken control of the political situation in the Ryukyu. Don't you Chinese have a proverb that you can't overturn a boat in a ditch... ”
Xiao Letian listened to the crappy Chinese and laughed at that time. He raised his head and downed the wine in one gulp, ”Haha, there's a problem with your understanding, there are times when you can capsize in the sewers … ”Just like the Japan that you all are looking at right now, who do you think is stronger in Japan compared to the Great Qing?”
As if he did not understand why Xiao Letian wanted to ask such a simple question, he thought for a while. ”Isn't this obvious?
”Haha, take a look, it's precisely because of this that people easily capsized in the sewers. ”This little Japan is not simple at all. If Da Qing doesn't work harder, this small sewer will overturn Da Qing's crappy boat …”
Just then, a man in a white coat suddenly ran up from the cabin. As he walked, he took off his mask, ”Mr. Xiao, the operation has been completed. But the most dangerous thing right now is losing too much blood. We can only pray for God's blessing... ”
The one who walked up was British doctor, the one that all the foreign people admired. This was a very experienced surgeon, an army doctor who had served in the army of Crimean War before, with him helping to treat Sakamoto Ryoma, Xiao Letian felt a lot more at ease.
”Mr. Ba Ke, why don't you give us a blood transfusion after losing too much blood? Don't you have a blood transfusion tool? ” Xiao Letian subconsciously asked. Hearing this, Ba Ke's eyes lit up, ”Oh, looks like you really have traveled across Europe before, to think that you actually know about the currently not widely used blood transfusion techniques?”
Ba Ke acted as if he had seen his best friend. ”Yes, the blood transfusion technique was started by British doctors, and British doctor gave blood transfusion treatment to pregnant women who had lost too much blood in 1818. However, the blood transfusion technique has never been mature, as if God didn't want to tell us the secret of the blood, and the chances of the blood transfusion succeeding are not high … ”
”This is a kind of treatment that's close to gambling. The successful person will recover very quickly, and the loser will have no chance of treating him again …”
Xiao Letian suddenly slapped his forehead. He remembered that in the history of humans, blood transfusions were studied earlier than blood types. In the end, it was a human who discovered the blood type that year, Xiao Letian could not remember clearly, but his impression of it definitely exceeded that of 1900. That was why people nowadays did not know the secret of blood type.
”Doctor Ba Ke, I am willing to give Sakamoto Ryoma blood transfusions. The life and death of Mr. Ryoma is closely related to millions of lives, he must survive …”
”Sir, you're crazy!” Before Doctor Ba Ke could say anything, Shi Dakai, Xiang Shaolong and the other officers jumped up first. ”No, absolutely not. ”I've lost a lot of spirit. I won't be able to make up for it in the future, I definitely can't …”
Xiao Letian looked at his subordinates who were yelling at each other. He knew that these people were sincere for his own good, but he himself knew clearly that before Xiao Letian came here, he had donated a lot of blood to this world. O-type blood was originally a versatile blood transfusion, and Xiao Letian was well aware that giving 200-300 milliliters a year for a normal person would actually benefit his health.
Unfortunately, the Paleogene didn't understand all of this. When they heard that Xiao Letian was going to use their own blood to save the Japanese, they were so anxious that their faces and ears flushed red.
Not only the Chinese, even the Japanese was moved. The expert swordsmen Yepingtai and Xiao Bingtailang kneeled on the deck, excited to the point that tears streamed down their faces ”Mister is so kind, it really makes us Japan ashamed … ”Mister, you don't need to use your blood anymore. You can use our blood at will. Even if we die, we won't have any regrets …”
After saying that, the two Japanese walked over to Doctor Ba Ke and kowtowed as if they were begging him to take their blood.
Xiao Letian was both angry and amused, but he still wanted to continue acting. He said with a straight face, ”I gave this blood to Sakamoto Ryoma not only for him alone, but also for the sake of saving this race's soul … ”None of you can replace me. I have to do this myself …”
With that, Xiao Letian stared at Shi Dakai with his bright eyes: ”They do not understand my intentions, could it be that even you do not understand?” After saying that, he stared into King Yi's eyes, and in the end, even made Shi Dakai's forehead break out in sweat.
”Forget it, forget it!” ”I hope that this nation of Japan still has a heart of hearts. I hope that your blood can heat up this group of hearts of stones …”
Ba Ke was also moved by this tragic atmosphere. Although he was just a doctor, he knew that the people standing in front of him were politicians that could affect the situation in East Asia.
