Chapter 63: Domestic Violence in the Era 18

During the busy farming season of about 20 days, everyone in the team, except Lin Xia and Zhong Wenyue, became thinner and darker. They went out early and came back late every day, so Lin Xia had no time to find fault with Sun Changjian during this period.

After harvesting the rice, we had to pay the public tax, distribute the grain and tickets, and slaughter a pig. The village was filled with the joy of the harvest.

After a month of hard work and a few days off, Zhong Wenyue invited Lin Xia to go to the mountains for fun, and she happily went.

There are many people going up the mountain today, especially children. While the adults go to the market, the children go into the mountain to have fun.

"Ah, help, someone come, my third brother was bitten by a snake." A child stumbled over and ran over crying.

Lin Xia didn't react much. When the other adults present heard this, they all took their children and went to the scene of the incident.

Zhong Wenyue pulled Lin Xia's arm and followed.

When Lin Xia arrived, she saw that it was the secretary's child. The wound on his foot was purple and it was obvious that it was poisonous.

"What should we do? Xiaosan was bitten by a poisonous snake. Is the snake still there?" an adult asked anxiously.

"Uncle, it's in my hand, it's entangled with me, I dare not move." Xiao San cried and stretched out his right hand to the adult.

Wow, the man was so scared that he flew up, and his original movement to carry the person forward was frozen.

"Uncle, what should I do, wuwuwu." Xiao San cried so sadly. Not only was she bitten, but the snake was also tightly grasped by him. It was so scary...

Everyone hesitated and didn't know what to do. This was a poisonous snake, and it was still alive. No one dared to touch it.

Based on the little medical ethics he had as a doctor in his previous life, plus the little calculations in his heart that no one knew about, Lin Xia calmly left Zhong Wenyue and walked forward.

"Sister Lin..." Behind her was Zhong Wenyue's Erkang hand. Before she could say the next word, Lin Xia grabbed the snake's head and killed it with a sickle, successfully rescuing the child's hand.

"Do you want me to treat your wound? I don't think you can be saved if you are sent to the county."

The child was already panicking, and when he saw Lin Xia, he nodded with tears in his eyes.

"Xiao Lin, if something happens, can you take responsibility? I've never heard that you have medical skills."

The frightened man jumped out to stop them and strongly demanded that the mistress be sent to the hospital immediately.

"This snake is very venomous. If there's any delay, it's OK as long as you can bear it." Lin Xia didn't move. He stood up and stood aside to let the other party do the work.

If the other party hesitates, you can't blame him if something goes wrong later.

"Then you should come. It's your fault if anything goes wrong."

Lin Xia rolled her eyes at the other person, squatted down, tied a rope tightly around the child's wound, squeezed out the poisonous blood, and finally took out a few herbs from the backpack, let the child chew them up and apply them on the wound, then sprinkled the other person's clothes and tied it up.

Finally, he gave the other party a few herbs and let him eat them directly.

The series of actions flow smoothly.

Others were a little confused, "How could Xiaolin know this?"

"Because I've been bitten by this kind of snake before."

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and then reacted in a weird way, "Then why do you have medicine in your backpack? Do you know it?"

"The county recycling station collects medicinal materials. I have referrals and I just make some money."

Everyone's eyes lit up. They didn't expect to have such a gain. Lin Xia said nothing more and asked someone to carry the child down the mountain to the hospital for further check-up.

Several adults and children surrounded Xiao San'er and left, while Lin Xia and Zhong Wenyue continued to wander in the mountains.

Zhong Wenyue looked at Lin Xia with stars in her eyes, "Sister Lin, you are amazing, just like my mom. It would be great if you studied medicine."

"Haha, I will when I get a chance." Lin Xia decided to study western medicine and major in surgery in three years. This skill could help her better understand the structure of the human body, which might come in handy for dismembering a person someday.

Lin Xia saved the man not out of kindness. He was the grandson of the branch secretary, and the college entrance examination would not be resumed for another three years, so she had to find a job. She thought the barefoot doctor in the brigade would be a good choice.

There was no barefoot doctor in their brigade. Firstly, it was very close to the county. Secondly, there was one before, and it was the youngest daughter of the brigade leader. However, she almost killed someone with the medicine she gave her. Later, she was removed from the position. No one applied to be a barefoot doctor after that.

The brigade can recommend personnel, and then they can go to the county for training. If they are qualified, they can take up the post as village doctors. However, there is no establishment and no subsidies, only work points given by the brigade.

Things happened just as Lin Xia expected. That afternoon, she received a visit from the branch secretary's home.

"Xiao Lin, thank you so much this time. If you hadn't been here, my mistress would have been in danger." Li, the daughter-in-law of the branch secretary, thanked her with fear. She was sincerely grateful to Lin Xia.

The branch secretary had a bad impression of Lin Xia before because of Zhang Qiang’s incident. Now that Lin Xia saved his grandson, he likes her very much.

There was also a look of relief on his face. Xiao San'er was his favorite grandson, and it was thanks to Lin Xia's timely rescue.

"How can I watch a child die? Anyone who has the ability will save him."

"That's because you have a kind heart, Xiaolin." The branch secretary understood that not everyone would be saved. The practice of failing to save someone and getting into trouble has existed since ancient times.

"Uncle has nothing to repay you for, but I can't let you use the medicine for nothing, right?" After saying this and winking at her daughter-in-law, Li immediately stepped forward and stuffed a big unity note to Lin Xia, while her mother-in-law put down a basket of eggs.

Lin Xia thought his family was quite generous. Ten dollars was a lot of money in the countryside. If it were someone else, they might just give a few eggs as a token of their appreciation.

However, she refused to take the money and pushed it back, saying righteously, "Those herbs are worthless, how can I charge you for them? Take them back quickly. I didn't save people for a thank-you fee."

After two rounds of argument, Lin Xia said, "Uncle, if you really want to thank me, can you make a recommendation for me? You know my health is not very good, and it seems that the village is in need of a barefoot doctor."

"Well... okay, I'll go back and discuss it with the other members of the team. It seems that Xiaolin has some basic skills, and our team happens to be in need of such talent." The secretary thought for a few seconds and agreed. It was a good deal to do a small favor and repay the life-saving favor.

"Then I'll wait for your good news." Lin Xia smiled and saw them off, with a basket of eggs at her feet.

When giving gifts in the countryside, it's okay to take the money back, but if you take eggs back, you'll be embarrassed because other members are watching.

Soon, Lin Xia received news from the village at noon the next day that her name had been reported.

Everything went smoothly. It was the slack season during the farming season and it was time for a new round of training. Although the brigade submitted the quota late, they still squeezed Lin Xia into this round of training.

The training location was in the county hospital, and the commuting time was too long every day. Lin Xia went there once and felt it was a waste of time. All the interpersonal relationships flashed through her mind quickly, looking for a solution.

So after the afternoon training, Lin Xia went to Fang Fang's house with brown sugar in her hand.
