Chapter 2 Heading North to the Northeast Chief's Home
The old woman's face was deathly pale, her lips were purple, and her breathing was so weak that her chest was barely rising and falling. She was clutching her clothes tightly to her chest, clearly indicating that she had a heart problem.
"Ouch! What happened?!"
"Quick, come quick and save them!"
"Is there a doctor on the train? Someone's going to die."
"Flight attendant! Call the flight attendant quickly!"
Ning Tang's gaze fell on the old lady's ferocious face. In her previous life, she had saved many people suffering from acute illnesses in the countryside. Coupled with the fragmented medical books that had flashed by in the bracelet just now, she immediately realized that this was an acute heart attack.
This disease cannot be delayed; every second of delay increases the danger.
"Make way, everyone."
Ning Tang pushed through the crowd, squatted down, and quickly placed her fingertips on the old woman's wrist. Her pulse was weak and rapid, and she could die at any moment.
"Little girl, you don't seem to know any medicine."
"Don't risk someone's life just to show off!"
"Exactly, let's wait for the flight attendant to arrive before making a decision. If you act recklessly, what if someone dies? Would that be a good thing?"
All I could hear was a constant stream of questions and doubts.
Ning Tang didn't have time to explain; her fingers were rapidly pressing on the old lady's Tanzhong and Neiguan acupoints on her chest.
The force was both precise and steady.
He's obviously a trained fighter.
"Everyone move aside, don't crowd around here." Ning Tang's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a convincing charm.
Those around them instinctively did as instructed, and even those who had questioned them earlier fell silent.
After they realized what had happened, they were all puzzled, wondering how they had been fooled by a little girl.
After laying the person flat, Ning Tang knelt on the ground, clasped her hands together, and pressed down on the area below the sternum.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but when her arms were so sore she could barely lift them and her lower abdomen was aching, the old lady suddenly coughed and gasped for breath.
"She's awake! She's awake!"
"They actually managed to save him; it was pure luck."
The people around them whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with the excitement of watching a spectacle.
At this moment, the flight attendants who rushed over upon hearing the news were stunned by what they saw.
"Young lady, what you're doing..."
"It was probably an acute heart attack. I gave her first aid, and she's feeling a bit better now. You can go and take a look." After saying that, Ning Tang, despite her exhaustion, returned to her seat.
Ignoring the stares of others, I belatedly felt a wave of fear.
But she couldn't bear to watch a life disappear before her eyes.
She was pregnant and didn't want to deprive herself, so she bought a boxed lunch with both meat and vegetables. After eating, she leaned against the window and dozed off for a while.
When I woke up again, I was pushed awake.
"Girl, did you save me just now?"
I opened my eyes and met a pair of wrinkled yet remarkably cool eyes.
The old lady's face was still pale, but much better than before. She was staring intently at her, her face full of surprise.
Ning Tang said, "It was nothing, I'm just glad you're alright."
She had just noticed that the old lady was wearing clothes made of fine material and had a watch on her wrist, so she was clearly not from an ordinary family.
These things are none of her business. Ning Tang just wants to find a safe place to settle down and never get involved with the people and things from her past life again.
The old lady could tell that Ning Tang had something on her mind, so she didn't say anything more: "Girl, I think you and I are destined to meet. You went out by yourself. If you need anything, just call Grandma."
"Thank you, Grandma."
Despite saying that, Ning Tang never troubled the old lady.
On the contrary, the old lady would care for her from time to time, tucking her clothes in when she went to bed at night, and letting her lean on her when she was uncomfortable.
Ning Tang was already pregnant, and her hormones were unstable. She had been holding back her grievances, and under the old lady's warm care, her eyes couldn't help but well up with tears, and her nose also felt sore.
How long has it been since she was treated with such kindness?
In her previous life in the Ning family, Ning's mother regarded her as a thorn in her side, and Ning Xin ostracized her at every turn. When she went to the countryside, she lived a life worse than that of pigs and dogs, and being beaten and scolded was a common occurrence.
It seems like she has never truly been cherished.
"Silly girl, why are you crying?" The old lady looked up and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Is something wrong? Tell Grandma, maybe I can help."
Ning Tang shook her head.
How could I possibly say something like that...
But if she didn't say anything, she would feel suffocated inside. When she met the concerned eyes, she seemed to have come to a realization and comforted herself, thinking that once she got off the train, they would go their separate ways and no one would know who she was.
Ning Tang edited and removed parts of the story, removing the fact that she had been reborn.
The old lady, who had just been looking distressed, felt increasingly uneasy as she listened, especially after hearing that the man's surname was Xu, that he came from the Northeast Field War Zone, was very tall, and looked fierce...
Isn't this her grandson?
Ning Tang didn't notice the change in the other person's eyes. She sniffed and said, "Anyway, I can raise the child on my own. At worst, I'll follow the train and find a place to live under an assumed name for the rest of my life."
That won't do.
She's already pregnant with her great-grandson. If she lets him go, how will she find him in this vast sea of people?
Her Xu family wasn't an irresponsible family; since she was pregnant with their child, the marriage had to take place!
Moreover, she traveled all the way to Shanghai because she heard that the Guanyin statue there is very effective for those who wish to have children!
An elderly woman, nearly eighty years old, climbed up and down the steps and knelt for a long time at the temple for praying for a child. She was willing to give up her old life if she could have a child!
But seeing Ning Tang's eagerness to avoid her, it was clear that this child wasn't the type to be materialistic or snobbish. If she knew she was Xu Qiaofeng's grandmother, she would definitely get off the bus that very night.
Grandma Xu's eyes lit up, and she cursed viciously, "That damned bastard!"
"What a tragedy! This kind of man deserves to be struck by lightning! Don't worry, girl, if I ever run into him, I'll break his third leg!"
Ning Tang was startled by her indignant appearance, and the grievances that had been weighing on her heart dissipated considerably.
"Actually, it's not his fault; he's also a victim."
"If he were sober, he definitely wouldn't be able to bring himself to hurt a woman like me."
She smiled self-consciously.
"Nonsense, your face is so pretty, just like a cute girl in a New Year's painting." Grandma Xu glared at her, but then subtly changed the subject, "But speaking of which, you're raising a child alone, without any relatives around. What will you do when you have a baby in the future?"
Ning Tang: "Let's take it one step at a time."
She believed things would work themselves out, and she would rather endure hardship every day than be harmed by the Ning family mother and daughter again.
“No, that won’t do.” Grandma Xu shook her head. “After passing Shanhaiguan, you’ll reach Fengtian. My family lives there. It’s just the two of us, my husband and I. The place is very spacious. If you don’t mind, you can come and stay with me for a couple of days. If you can get used to it, you can stay in Fengtian and settle down.”
Ning Tang was stunned.
Fengtian?
She didn't know where Xu Qiaofeng was, only that he was in the Northeast. She thought she couldn't be so unlucky as to run into him.
Moreover, Fengtian is far from Shanghai, so even if the Ning family mother and daughter wanted to look for her, they wouldn't have thought she was in the north.
The most dangerous place is the safest place. Ning Tang nodded and decided to get off at Fengtian Station with Grandma Xu!
