Chapter 118 Exposure

While administering acupuncture, Lu Qingqing called on everyone to help prepare the necessary items.

Although the villagers didn't believe Lu Qingqing could bring the dead back to life, since she wasn't giving up on saving lives, they couldn't make sarcastic remarks at this point.

Fifth Uncle said he was going to heat the ashes at the bottom of the pot.

Liu Erzhu said he would go find thin bamboo poles.

Black Egg's stepmother, Tian Qiao'er, went to brew ginger soup.

Everyone took action.

Without giving any instructions, Aunt Ding brought a bed sheet from home, and just like when she rescued Li Meng, several older women spontaneously surrounded Chen Cuihua.

Everyone is helping, but Chen Cuihua's family is still nowhere to be found!

Finally, Lu Yun arrived, dragging Lu Changfa, the eldest son of Lu Laoda.

Lu Changfa was timid and hesitant, and dared not approach at all.

Enraged, Old Man Lu kicked him.

"Where's your father! Where's your brother? Where's your sister! Where's your wife and children? Is your whole family dead?"

Lu Changfa didn't dare to utter a sound.

"Father, none of them are coming. Lu Xingde said that if Auntie wants to die, she should die. Let whoever wants to care, care!" Lu Yun said angrily.

"My God! This family is heartless! This is her own mother and grandmother!"

"And Lu Xingde, he hasn't done any work all these years, who's been doing all the work for him?"

"Did Chen Cuihua jump into the river on her own?"

The crowd couldn't help but condemn it, and even those who usually didn't get along with the Chen family cursed at them.

The claim that Chen Cuihua jumped into the river herself has been confirmed.

Seeing that this was really outrageous, the village headman frowned and went to call for help himself.

After administering the emergency injection, Lu Qingqing instructed Sixi: "Have the drowning person lie face down with their buttocks raised, and stimulate the perineum with a three-edged needle. If they urinate or defecate, they will survive."

Alright, the rest can be heard outside the tent.

Si Xi quickly left the tent.

Lu Qingqing then stripped Chen Cuihua naked.

A frail and aged body.

The image of Chen Cuihua when she was young flashed through her mind.

He grumbled and cursed as he lifted her ashore like a chick.

At that time, she had a strong voice and was even a little chubby.

A three-edged needle is inserted into the perineum with the side facing the heart.

No feces or urine were discharged.

Lu Qingqing's heart sank.

"The wood ash has arrived!"

Lu Qingqing covered Chen Cuihua's body with the warm ashes.

"The ginger soup is here!"

Lu Qingqing warmed Chen Cuihua's navel with ginger soup.

"The bamboo pole is here!"

Lu Qingqing called in a few aunties, who then used bamboo sticks to blow air into their mouths, ears, and noses to promote airflow.

She used every method available.

In fact, there are classical records of people being rescued within 72 hours of drowning.

The book "Chinese Acupuncture" also records a case of a boy who was rescued after being drowning for 40 minutes.

The procedure involves acupuncture at the perineum and bloodletting by pricking the Zhongchong acupoint.

What is a doctor?

It is a breath gone, searching for residual warmth in the ashes.

Even if all five internal organs are damaged, a glimmer of hope must be stitched up.

Therefore, there is the story of—coming back from the dead!

"Aunties, thank you for your hard work. Don't stop, try to blow for half an hour."

"Then, life and death are up to fate!" Lu Qingqing said softly.

The aunties nodded and took turns blowing air.

Lu Qingqing took the Pinellia powder and blew it into Chen Cuihua's nostrils...

Lu Xingde was finally dragged over by the village head, but he had been drinking and was shouting nonsense.

"Chen Cuihua! You've really grown some guts! If you're going to die, why don't you go somewhere else to die? You've disgraced the whole family!"

"Are you dead? Are you really dead? If you're really dead, bury you. If you're not dead, get out of here and go home!"

Old Man Lu went up and punched him in the face.

Lu Xingde's nose was broken, and his face was covered in blood.

That bit of intoxication was also gone.

His body, half-ruined, swayed unsteadily.

He looked at Old Man Lu with the eyes of an enemy, yet he was a coward who dared not step forward.

"Chen Cuihua! Come out here! Get out here right now!"

"Your wife jumped into the river and hasn't been saved yet! You damned bastard!" Aunt Ding cursed.

"Don't save her! Let her die! You greedy, filthy woman!"

Lu Xingde tried to pull up the tent flap, but was kicked by his father.

"No one is allowed to interfere with my daughter saving lives!"

"Lu Xingwang! What right do you have to interfere in my family's affairs! Fine, fine, you like to meddle in other people's business, but if that person dies, you'll be responsible! I'm going to sue you... none of you will escape!"

Aunt Ding and several other women who were being pointed at were both angry and afraid.

People are already dead, okay?

Who is this scoundrel trying to frame?

But the next second, Lu Xingde was picked up and thrown out.

"Young Master Xu, when did you arrive?" The village headman quickly stepped forward.

Xu Rui ignored him.

Anyone who disrupts the rescue efforts will be thrown into jail!

With Xu Rui's words, the villagers were no longer afraid of anyone.

A hissing sound came from inside the tent, followed by a foul odor.

"Chen Cuihua!"

Aunt Ding suddenly let out a shout, like a zombie rising from the dead.

"woke up!!"

"She's awake! She's really awake!"

"My God! He's back from the dead!"

The curtains fell, and Chen Cuihua sat up with a blank expression.

...

"That's great! That's great! He's really alive!"

Those who had contributed were especially excited.

The three young men who pulled Chen Cuihua out of the water.

Fifth Uncle, Tian Qiao'er, Liu Erzhu, the three aunties blowing air, and the three wives pulling the curtain...

Old Man Lu, Lu Yun, Sixi, Wang Jincai...

And then there was that sigh just now...

Their efforts were not in vain; they have all now found meaning.

At that moment, they were unaware of why they were so happy.

"Qingqing is truly a miracle doctor!"

"Lu Qingqing, what a miracle doctor!"

"A miracle doctor!"

"A miracle doctor!"

...

The crowd cheered, their eyes filled with respect.

A miracle doctor has emerged in Liuyun Village! He can bring the dead back to life!

When Ning Xiuwen passed the imperial examination and became a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations), no matter how well the village head spoke, they didn't feel that it brought them any honor.

Why are they so proud that Lu Qingqing is a miracle doctor?

I can almost see the envious looks from the people in the other villages.

"Qing girl, you've brought the dead back to life!"

Lu Qingqing shook her head and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

My clothes, which had been soaked through, had long since dried in the sun, but I was still wet.

It was sweaty.

"It wasn't just me; we all worked together to save them!"

Many hands make light work; one person alone cannot carry a heavy load.

If you hadn't pulled him out so quickly, if Sixi hadn't performed first aid beforehand, and if Uncle Wu and you hadn't found the things, things might have been delayed and he might not have survived!

Therefore, the credit belongs to all of us!

Lu Qingqing looked at Chen Cuihua and said, "Aunt, your life was saved by the whole village."

Chen Cuihua's blank gaze slowly focused; she realized this wasn't the underworld.

The villagers finally understood why they felt proud.

Because Ning Xiuwen did not treat them as fellow villagers.

Even if they become successful, it will have nothing to do with them.

Lu Qingqing told them that the villagers are one family and should unite and move forward together!

Uncle Wu was praised by name, and he grinned like a fool.

No wonder he was so happy when Chen Cuihua was saved.

It turns out he was involved too; he deserves credit.

Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda!

He will surely be blessed in the future.

“Lu Qingqing…”

Beneath the veil, her bright eyes gazed at the pale, weary woman, as if coated with the thickest glue, impossible to look away from.

At this moment, I really want to go up to her, fan her with a cool breeze, and offer her...

He was holding the warm water that an old lady had brought him earlier, and was about to go forward when someone beat him to it.

"Little aunt! Have some water!" Sixi handed over a water gourd.

Xu Rui: "..."

Lu Qingqing gulped down half a gourd of water in one go, then washed her hands with it before looking at Xu Rui.

"Young Master Xu, with so many people here today, I'm going to reveal an old story!"
