"Changfeng, go outside and find a few flat wooden planks."

Ruan Qiushui described the approximate length and width of the wooden plank.

She grasped Gu Guangrong's knee joints with both hands and, before Gu Guangrong could react, instantly reset them.

"That's it?"

Gu Guangrong moved his leg in surprise, and it didn't hurt at all.

"Wife, here you go."

Gu Changfeng went and returned quickly, bringing back the three wooden planks that Ruan Qiushui had requested.

"Dad, don't put too much strain on your legs these next few days, to avoid further injury."

As Ruan Qiushui secured Gu Guangrong, she gave him instructions.

If this leads to habitual dislocation, it could be a real problem.

"Father knows."

Gu Guangrong nodded quickly.

He doesn't know anything about medicine, so it's best to listen to his third daughter-in-law.

"Dr. Ruan, my mother's forehead is burning hot right now, does she have a fever? Could you please take a look?"

"Dr. Ruan, my father has lost consciousness and we can't wake him up no matter what we do."

"Dr. Ruan, please take a look at my mother. She's bleeding a lot from her arm."

…

As Ruan Qiushui was packing her medical kit, she was surrounded by a group of commune members.

Seeing their pleading faces, Ruan Qiushui couldn't bear it.

After she resigned from her position as a doctor at the health center, the villagers openly protested against Gu Xianjin, but they would still come to her for consultations and treatment in private.

Ruan Qiushui did not charge a consultation fee, but wrote a prescription and told them to go to the mountains to dig up herbs or go to the town's pharmacy.

Everyone was grateful for Ruan Qiushui's kindness and would often send her some vegetables and eggs, but they did so behind Gu Xianjin's back.

"Wife, what do you think?"

He supports his wife's efforts to treat and save lives, as long as she is willing.

I'm worried my wife will get tired. With so many wounded, tonight is destined to be a tough battle.

"Don't worry, I'll go with you and see what's going on."

Ruan Qiushui carried her medical kit and walked to the next room.

"Changfeng, please count the number of injured people and classify them according to their severity. Bring the most urgent cases to me for treatment first."

When Ruan Qiushui went inside, she saw that there were far too many wounded people, and she immediately became anxious.

She doesn't have three heads and six arms, and she has no colleagues to help her right now. She's afraid that if things drag on, her mild case will turn into an acute one.

"good."

After hearing this, Gu Changfeng quickly called two strong laborers and went inside.

"Qiushui, is there anything we can do? We can help."

Liu Pandi and Chen Fenglan also came over, wanting to do their part.

"It's so kind of you to be willing to help."

Ruan Qiushui looked at the two women and told them a few first aid and hemostasis methods, asking them to help control the condition first.

"Changshu, come here."

Ruan Qiushui looked at Gu Changshu, who was boiling water nearby, and waved to him.

"Third Sister-in-law, what is it?"

Gu Changshu squatted down next to Ruan Qiushui.

"I have some Chinese herbs in my storage room that can prevent colds and fevers. Go get them for me, boil them in an earthenware pot for half an hour, and give everyone a bowl."

"Just let your mother and the others know you're safe."

With this heavy snowfall, many people are likely to catch a cold, so it's best to take precautions.

She told Gu Changshu the names of several herbs, described their characteristics and dosages, and then handed him the flashlight.

"Wife, take a look at Uncle Dacheng first."

Gu Changfeng was the first to carry Wu Dacheng over.

Uncle Dacheng was among the first group of injured people to be discovered.

Not only was his head injured, but his hands and feet were also fractured and he was unable to move.

Moreover, he has a high fever and is delirious, talking nonsense.

"Give him this medicine first."

Ruan Qiushui checked her temperature; her skin was so hot that she recoiled.

Using the medical kit as cover, she took out an acetaminophen tablet and handed it to Gu Changfeng.

With a body temperature exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, he couldn't wait for the herbal medicine that Gu Changshu was brewing.

Next, Nguyen Thu Thu treated the patient's head wound, disinfected and bandaged it, and then set the bone for fixation.

"Dr. Ruan, Aunt Zhang's bleeding just won't stop, what should we do?"

Wang Jun and another commune member carried Aunt Zhang over; her wrists were still wrapped in cloth, and blood was seeping out.

Seeing this, Ruan Qiushui quickly took out silver needles to acupuncture and stop the bleeding, then gave her a hemostatic pill, sprinkled white medicine on the wound and bandaged it.

"Ruan Qiushui, come here right now. Didn't you see your third uncle and nephew are injured? You still have the leisure to treat other people's illnesses? Don't you know the difference between relatives and friends?"

Qian Cuihua sat inside, shouting loudly.

She was worried about the large hole in her husband's head and also anxious about her beloved grandson's unconscious state.

If it weren't for her weak back making it difficult for her to stand up, we would have dragged Ruan Qiushui over here long ago and forced her to undergo treatment.

"I'm busy."

Ruan Qiushui rolled her eyes at Qian Cuihua and continued treating Aunt Zhang.

"Are you deaf? I told you to come and treat my old man and grandson, what are you acting all high and mighty for?"

Qian Cuihua was still regretting not bringing out the valuables in the house. When she saw Ruan Qiushui refuse, she got angry and wanted to beat Ruan Qiushui up.

"Qian Cuihua, what are you shouting for? Who in this house isn't injured or sick? Didn't you hear Dr. Ruan say that the seriously ill should come first?"

"What's your hurry? Are you rushing to be reincarnated? Or you might as well die first."

Wu Guihua covered her head; it was in a lot of pain.

Listening to Qian Cuihua's incessant yelling, he felt increasingly irritated.

She even bumped her head! Is Gu Tuanjie being this dramatic? Can't he see there are several other people in the room who are almost drained of blood and on the verge of death?

"Exactly, if you're in such a hurry, why don't you take him to the hospital yourself? Why are you begging Dr. Ruan?"

"Dr. Ruan, just ignore that crazy woman Qian Cuihua, treat her like she's talking nonsense."

"Qian Cuihua, if you keep babbling and it's interfering with Dr. Ruan's treatment, I'll slap you across the face."

…

Many members spoke up, angrily confronting Qian Cuihua.

Their family members were more seriously injured than Qian Cuihua's family. What if they saved Qian Cuihua's family first and delayed the treatment of their own relatives?

"Why are you targeting me? Ruan Qiushui is a junior member of my family. Why can't she treat our illnesses first? Instead of helping our own family, are you going to help a bunch of outsiders like you?"

Qian Cuihua disagreed and stubbornly retorted.

"Qian Cuihua, you can shut up now."

Wu Guihua was the first to not listen and stepped forward to slap Qian Cuihua.

What does "outsider" mean?

In Dr. Ruan's eyes, everyone is equal.

The principle of prioritizing critically ill patients is universally acknowledged.

"I think she just needs to be taught a lesson."

As soon as Wu Guihua made her move, many commune members surrounded her. One slapped her, another kicked her.

Gu Tuanjie stood to the side, covering his forehead, unable to intervene even if he wanted to.

At first, Qian Cuihua could still shout a couple of times and fight back by pulling one's hair or twisting another's arm.

With his waist unable to exert any strength, he was no match for others and could only beg for mercy in the end.
