Chapter 43 Seeking Help at Midnight
After walking for a few minutes, before the mother and her two children got closer, she heard the excited shouts of the villagers in the distance.
"Down with these bad guys, down with them." The shouts were loud but sad.
After Li Yiyi walked into the crowd with her two children, she saw five pale-faced people kneeling in the middle of the open space, each with a numb expression on their face.
There were several people whose foreheads were bleeding from being hit with stones by someone. It was very distressing to see.
These people are obviously innocent, but in this day and age, their backgrounds and occupations have caused them to bear crimes they do not deserve.
At this time, the villagers became excited again, and everyone threw the things in their hands at the five people kneeling in the middle of the open space.
Li Yiyi tightly grasped the hands of the two children and watched everything with red eyes. Just when she was about to not bear it any longer, her eyes were suddenly covered by a big hand.
Li Yiyi was shocked and slowly took the big hands off her eyes. She slowly turned her head and soon met Jiang Hong's worried gaze on her.
"Why are you here?" Seeing it was him, she curled the corners of her mouth and smiled at him.
Jiang Hong secretly squeezed her hand and said, "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh."
Li Yiyi stopped smiling and slowly turned to look at the five people kneeling in the middle of the open space. "It's not that I don't want to laugh, but I feel a little uncomfortable seeing this scene. These villagers treat them like this without knowing anything. Won't they feel uneasy?"
Jiang Hong looked at everything that was happening in front of him with a cold expression, his eyes were dark, "Stop looking, let's go home."
Li Yiyi nodded, knowing that she would not be able to help them at all if she continued to stand there.
She originally thought that the matter was over, but unexpectedly, her third uncle came to her house late at night.
The sleeping couple heard a knock on the door, and Jiang Hong went out to open it.
Not long after, Li Yiyi, who was half asleep, was gently awakened by Jiang Hong who went out to open the door.
"Wife, don't sleep yet. Third uncle is here." His voice sounded softly in her ear.
Li Yiyi immediately opened her eyes and turned to look at him, "What did you say? Third Uncle is here. What is he doing in the middle of the night?"
"I asked him, there's a patient in the village clinic who needs a minor operation, and he wants you to go over and help him." Jiang Hong brought her clothes and explained to her while he put them on.
Soon, with the help of Jiang Hong, Li Yiyi changed her clothes and walked out of the room. Finally, she saw her third uncle sitting in the hall with an anxious look on his face.
"Third Uncle." She walked up to him and greeted him.
"Good boy, I'm sorry to bother you so late. It's really too urgent and I can't delay. I can only come to you for help in the middle of the night." Third Uncle explained apologetically.
Li Yiyi interrupted him before he finished explaining, "Third Uncle, you don't have to say anything. Jiang Hong has already told me. I'll go with you now."
When Third Uncle heard this, his face showed a moving expression, and then he spoke again, "Wait a moment, let me explain this matter to you clearly. The person we want to save is one of the five people during the day. If people know about this operation, it may cause trouble. Are you afraid?"
At this point, the Third Uncle added, "If you are afraid, I won't blame you if you don't want to help now."
Li Yiyi just thought about it for a moment and answered him, "I'll help you, go over now."
In her opinion, human life is at stake now, and the unknown trouble can be dealt with later.
When Third Uncle heard this, tears of excitement appeared in his dark eyes. "Okay, good boy, I thank you on behalf of that person."
Soon, Li Yiyi helped her third uncle out of the house.
Jiang Hong originally wanted to go, but because he had two children at home, he had to stay at home to look after the two siblings.
On the other side, an old man and a young boy finally arrived at the village clinic after walking for about five minutes.
As the two men came in, a middle-aged man walked out. Because life was hard, the man was dirty, but even so, it was difficult to hide his aura of a scholar.
"Uncle Jiang, when are we going to perform the surgery on my dad?" the middle-aged man asked the third uncle who walked in with an anxious look on his face.
The Third Uncle ordered calmly, "Let's start the operation now. How are the things I asked you to prepare?"
"It's ready. I've permed everything that needs to be permed." The middle-aged man replied immediately.
The third uncle nodded and quickly looked towards Li Yiyi. "Girl, don't be afraid. Just stay by my side and listen to my instructions. I'll take care of everything."
Li Yiyi nodded. In fact, she was not afraid at all. It was just a minor operation. She had experienced larger operations than this one.
After the third uncle drove the middle-aged man out, Li Yiyi soon saw the patient.
She soon recognized that the patient was one of the five people she had seen during the day.
Then the wound on his body came into her sight, "This should be a wound to the spleen."
The uncle who was preparing for surgery heard her words and looked at her in surprise, "Can you tell?"
Li Yiyi realized that she seemed to be overacting, so she quickly changed her words, "I looked at the human body structure diagram a little bit during the exam, so I was just guessing."
"You guessed right. The spleen is indeed injured. It's probably torn inside and needs to be sutured." replied the third uncle.
When Li Yiyi heard this, she looked at him in confusion, "Uncle, a ruptured spleen is no small matter. We should send him to the hospital."
"You think we don't want to? But given my brother's status, the village won't agree to send him to the hospital. In their eyes, a convicted person is dead."
"The village chief doesn't even listen to you?" she asked.
"That kid is as hard as a rock. In the past year or two, I have told him many times not to torture people too much, but he just wouldn't listen." Speaking of this, the third uncle was very angry.
As he spoke, the third uncle stepped forward, took the patient's hand and began to take his pulse.
"Something's not right. The amount of bleeding is increasing. We need to speed up the surgery." He immediately said with a serious face.
When Li Yiyi saw that he could actually tell all this by taking the pulse, she couldn't help but be shocked at the old man's abilities.
In modern times, a situation like this can only be detected with instruments, but people can actually detect it just by taking the pulse. It's amazing.
As soon as he finished speaking, Third Uncle immediately picked up the scalpel behind him and started working.
Seeing this, Li Yiyi had to swallow back the words on her lips and started to help.
As time went by, the surgery performed by the old man made her more and more impressed with his skills.
