Chapter 15: Rescue



A young woman sat on the ground, her face filled with despair. She cried and shouted to the purple-faced little boy in her arms, "Bao'er, spit it out quickly, spit it out quickly, ah..."

The people standing nearby showed expressions of pity and grief.

Lin Shu walked quickly forward, walked in front of the little boy, squatted down, and reached out to feel his pulse.

"Put the child down quickly." Lin Shu shouted to the woman holding the child.

"Hurry up. It's too late." Seeing that she didn't respond, Lin Shu raised his voice and reached out to take the child out of her arms.

A square-faced man rushed out and grabbed Lin Shu's arm: "What are you doing?"

"Let go, I'm a doctor. If I don't save him now, it will be too late." Lin Shu turned around and looked at him firmly.

The man looked hesitant.

An old man stepped forward and placed his hand on the woman's arm, saying in a deep voice, "Let her try."

The man helped take the child out of the woman's arms and put him on the ground.

Lin Shu squatted down to check and quickly asked, "Did you eat something hard and can't spit it out?"

"Yes, yes," the woman said hurriedly, "I was chewing the fruit and started choking, and then..."

After hearing this, Lin Shu decisively hugged the child from behind with both arms and stood up. He clenched a fist with one hand, pressed the palm of his fist inward between the child's navel and ribs, and opened the other hand to hold the fist, exerting force quickly and squeezing upwards.

Lin Shu kept repeating the squeezing action.

"Can you do it? Can you do it?"

Lin Shu ignored it.

After a while, the child still did not respond.

"Is it not possible? Ugh...my baby..."

"Oh, give up..."

Lin Shu's hands began to ache, and he felt a little anxious, but he continued to move.

Suddenly, the child vomited and a small bit of fruit came out of his mouth.

Lin Shu immediately laid the child flat on the ground and examined him carefully.

Slowly, the child's chest began to rise and fall noticeably, and the child let out a faint cry.

The young woman threw herself on the child, her face alternately crying and smiling: "Wake up, wake up, baby..."

Others also gathered around, their faces filled with joy.

Lin Shu let out a sigh, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

Xu Juan stepped forward and helped Lin Shu up from the ground.

Lin Shu gently shook his sore arms.

The old man came forward and said to Lin Shu with gratitude on his face: "Miss, thank you so much, thank you for saving my grandson."

Lin Shu already knew from Xu Juan that this person was the team leader.

She smiled and said, "Captain, you're so polite. This is lucky."

"Girl, you are..."

"My name is Lin Shu, and I'm an educated youth who just arrived in the village."

"This..." The captain looked puzzled.

Lin Shu expressed guilt.

She understood what the team leader meant, why did the doctor come to the village to work as an educated youth?

"I'm sorry, Captain," Lin Shu said, "I was so anxious just now that I said I was a doctor. However, I have been studying medicine with my grandfather since I was a child, so I know a little bit about medicine."

"Oh..." The captain nodded, showing his understanding. He also expressed his gratitude to Lin Shu and said, "If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me."

Lin Shu was in a good mood.

She may have to live in the brigade for a long time, and of course she is happy to have the care of the brigade leader.

"Girl." The young woman came forward holding the child.

The child leaned listlessly in her arms.

Her eyes were red and her face was tear-stained, but she looked relaxed.

She said to Lin Shu with gratitude: "Thank you, thank you for saving my son."

The square-faced man standing next to her nodded in agreement with the same grateful look, then said angrily, "Sorry, just now... I was too impatient."

It turns out they are husband and wife!

Lin Shu smiled and nodded: "You're welcome."

She looked at the child and said to them, "We need to take the child to the hospital for a checkup."

"What? Any other questions?" The woman's face suddenly showed panic and she asked hurriedly.

The others looked over worriedly.

"It's okay." Lin Shu immediately comforted him, "Because the child has been choking for too long, it's best to get another checkup to prevent any damage to the throat or other parts of the body."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, but still frowned: "I will definitely go."

Only then did Lin Shu feel completely relieved.

Finally, Lin Shu and the others thanked the captain for their kindness in keeping the meal and left.

"I was so scared just now," Xu Juan said, patting her chest. "What if the child hadn't been rescued?"

What would happen if he wasn't rescued? Lin Shu looked at the mountains in the distance.

If she encounters irrational parents, she may face accusations or even insults, or even more bad problems.

Is she going to back down and stand by and watch because of all this?

No! Lin Shu said to Xu Juan firmly: "Something must be done! Someone must do it!" Like soldiers, like doctors, like all those who are fighting on the front lines and carrying heavy burdens.

Although she doesn't have lofty ambitions, she won't stand idly by when she encounters something.

The two walked slowly on the road, silent for a long time, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.

Lin Shu took Xu Juan's hand and said with a light smile: "Okay, I'm fine, smile quickly."

"Yeah!" Xu Juan grinned and nodded heavily.

"Let's go to Comrade Han Yan's house now," said Lin Shu.

"Oh..." Xu Juan gave an ambiguous smile.

"Oh what?"

"It turns out that going to the captain's house was fake, and going to Comrade Han Yan's house was the real one."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense."

"You have."

"I don't."

"have."

"No."

“…”

Lin Shu and Xu Juan, who were chatting and laughing all the way, came to a fork in the road. They stopped at the same time and looked at each other.

"Do you know how to get to Comrade Han Yan's house?" Xu Juan asked.

Lin Shu blushed and said, "I don't know."

She looked around and said, "Ask the others."

"Wait." Xu Juan tugged at Lin Shu's arm. "That's Comrade Han Yuan, right?"

Lin Shu turned his head.

It’s Han Yuan indeed!

He was riding his bicycle towards them.

He seemed to see them too and waved to them.

"Ms. Lin, Miss Xu." Han Yuan stopped his bicycle in front of Lin Shu and Xu Juan.

"Miss Lin, are you okay?" Han Yuan asked worriedly.

Lin Shu smiled and said, "I checked it out, and the doctor said it's fine."

"That's good, that's good!" Han Yuan seemed relieved and his expression became much more relaxed.

"By the way, I haven't thanked you properly for what happened last time." Han Yuan continued, "Let's have dinner at my house tonight. I'll treat you well."

"Really, no need. It's just a piece of cake." Lin Shu shook his head and refused.

Nowadays, men and women can’t visit each other casually. Even if they are a group of people, they may be talked about by others.

Han Yuan slapped his head and seemed to understand that something was wrong.
