On the day the notice was issued, Song Youyou slept soundly as usual, then leisurely ate breakfast before heading to the military hospital in a leisurely manner.
There were people coming and going at the hospital entrance. Song Youyou found the employment notice posted on the bulletin board where the largest number of people gathered.
Sure enough, her name was not on it.
After the examination, she went straight into the military hospital and went to the doctor's office.
"Director Liu, there's a military wife outside who wants to see you for something."
The nurse who led the way knocked on the door to report, while Song Youyou sat on the bench in the corridor and waited.
"Looking for me? What's the matter?" Director Liu walked out with confusion.
Qiao Shan had just sat down after returning from rounds of ward rounds, but before she could even warm up to the chair, she stood up again.
When she heard the words "military wife", she always felt a little uneasy, so she decided to go out with them.
"It's really you? Why are you here?" Qiao Shan felt a little panicked when she saw Song Youyou sitting on the bench.
Director Liu was even more confused, "Do you know each other?"
"I know him. Director Liu, this guy was one of the candidates who took the medical exam that day. He must have been upset about being eliminated, so he's here to cause trouble. Director, please go in first. Don't worry, I'll handle this."
Qiao Shan’s current thought is: Song Youyou must not be allowed to have a detailed discussion with Director Liu.
"Don't worry, I'm not dissatisfied, nor am I here to cause trouble."
Her initial thought was just to give it a try, and she wasn't obsessed with having to pass the exam. She would accept any result.
But if you spread malicious rumors, you need to find an explanation.
"I came here today because..."
"Song Youyou, shut up..."
"Director, Director! This is an emergency, please come quickly!"
Suddenly, a young nurse ran over in a panic and interrupted the conversation.
Qiao Shan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Director, let's go over there quickly."
"Sorry, we'll talk later if you have anything to say."
"It's okay, you go and do your work first." Song Youyou also knew what was important and what was not.
Director Liu nodded to her and quickly followed the young nurse.
The originally quiet corridor was suddenly filled with rapid shouts.
“Get out of the way! Get out of the way!”
A group of medical staff were running hurriedly, pushing a stretcher. Director Liu rushed over and asked in a low voice about the situation.
Song Youyou looked from a distance and saw the person on the stretcher covered in blood, and couldn't see his face clearly.
But she recognized the person next to the stretcher; it was Yang Jun's wife, Zhao Lijuan.
Different from the hearty smile when they first met, and also different from the mocking smile a few days ago, Zhao Lijuan's face was now full of fear and despair.
Song Youyou thought she guessed who the person on the stretcher was.
"Doctor, please, please save him!"
Zhao Lijuan walked and begged tremblingly until the operating room door was closed, then she collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion.
Song Youyou's face was serious. She also rushed over and helped her. "Sister-in-law Lijuan, please sit on the chair first. Be careful not to get cold on the floor."
"...Song, Song-sister?"
When she saw someone she knew, Zhao Lijuan's tears finally burst out.
As if she had finally found an outlet to pour out her feelings, she tightly grasped Song Youyou's arm and cried:
"Sister Song, what should we do? Old Yang, he was just lying there covered in blood, motionless. I called him but he didn't respond at all. Tell me... tell me, will Old Yang..."
"Let's see what the doctor says later. Don't scare yourself now. Come on, get up first."
Zhao Lijuan was completely exhausted at this point. She was so frightened that she could only lean on Song Youyou to sit on the chair. "Yes, you're right. I can't scare myself. Old Yang will be fine. Over the years, I've always worried about him every time he went on a mission, but hasn't he always been fine? This time is no different. He will be fine. He will definitely be fine..."
Zhao Lijuan muttered softly.
I don’t know if these words were said to Song Youyou or to comfort herself, but no matter what, with someone accompanying her, her emotions gradually stabilized.
Not long after, the door of the operating room opened.
Zhao Lijuan stood up suddenly, so fast that Song Youyou couldn't react.
"Doctor, how is it? How is my old Yang now?"
Zhao Lijuan ran forward quickly and Song Youyou followed.
Director Liu's face was grim as he shook his head. "It's not optimistic. The bleeding is too severe, and conventional hemostasis methods are ineffective. We must act quickly, or else his life will be in danger. Our doctors have concluded... amputation is necessary."
"Intercept what?"
"Sister-in-law Lijuan!" Song Youyou was quick to catch the limp person.
When people are desperate to a certain extent, they may not have tears.
Zhao Lijuan, who had just been hugging Song Youyou and crying, could not cry at all at this moment. There was only despair and emptiness on her face.
Even the sound of his voice was close to a mumble: "You can't amputate it, you can't amputate it. Doctor! You can't amputate it! When Old Yang wakes up and sees his leg is gone, he won't be able to bear it..."
She had been with Yang Jun for so many years, and she knew that her husband regarded his military career as his life...
If he lost his legs, it would be worse than killing him.
Zhao Lijuan exuded a strong sense of despair.
Song Youyou's heart was also very heavy.
She couldn't help but think back to when they first met, Yang Jun came to the station to pick her and Gu Xiao up.
A face full of righteousness and vitality.
When talking about the soldiers in the army, although he cursed at them, his face showed his love for the army.
Director Liu sympathized with the injured man, but there was nothing he could do. He continued, "Amputation is necessary. His legs are completely shattered, and there's no way to stop the bleeding. If he continues like this, he'll die."
"Director, if we can stop the bleeding of the injured person, does that mean amputation is unnecessary?" Song Youyou asked tentatively.
"If we can stop the bleeding, there's a chance we can avoid amputation. But the problem is, it can't be stopped right now. It's not that we don't want to stop it, understand?"
"...I might be able to stop the bleeding."
In a word, a bolt from the blue.
"What?"
"What, Sister Song, what did you say? Can you..."
"Hmm. Coincidentally, I just happened to learn a set of golden needle acupuncture techniques, which are used for emergency treatment to stop bleeding.
Director Liu, I'd like to ask, regarding Comrade Yang Jun's current condition, before amputation becomes necessary, is there time for me to try acupuncture to see if I can stop the bleeding?"
Logically speaking, she is not a doctor yet, nor is she Yang Jun's family member, so it is inappropriate for her to recommend herself rashly.
It would be fine if the bleeding can be stopped, but if it can't be stopped, you will be blamed.
What's more, Zhao Lijuan herself seemed to have some opinions about her.
But when she thought of Yang Jun's loving smile, she still wanted to give it a try.
What if it’s useful?
"Song Youyou, why are you here again?! Can you please stop making trouble in this hospital? Do you know what a hospital is? You have to show off your presence at this time when all the doctors are helpless to treat your condition?"
Qiao Shan appeared out of nowhere, pointed at Song Youyou's nose and scolded her, then complained to Director Liu.
"Director, don't listen to Song Youyou's nonsense. I know her. Not only does she have no medical experience, she was previously unemployed. How could she possibly know anything about acupuncture to stop bleeding? Besides, I've never heard of using a needle to stop bleeding. I've only heard of using a needle to draw blood and a needle for blood transfusion."
Song Youyou was not sure if she could do it.
After being yelled at by Qiao Shan, he felt a little hesitant.
But in the end, she whispered a final plea, "I know the situation is serious, so I just want to ask Director Liu if there is time for me to try before the operation. This way, I can save the disease and..."
"How can there be no delay?!" Qiao Shan interrupted sharply, "If you say one more word, it will delay us for one more minute, understand?"
