"Sigh, Su Luo, if you do it this way, you'll harvest a lot less rice this year."
Su Luo knew they meant well, and she wanted to help them too.
“Village chief, all I want is for my family’s life to get better and better. If you want to believe me, please give the rice seedlings more space. The rice will only grow more, not less.”
Seeing that they couldn't persuade Su Luo, the two could only watch as she pulled up the seedlings, feeling heartbroken for each one she pulled.
Li Hongcai was seven years old. He saw Yan Chuan drawing on the ground with a twig and wanted to play with him. He was eating a pastry in his hand. He took a bite and walked towards Yan Chuan.
Suddenly, Li Hongcai rolled his eyes back and collapsed to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.
"Grandpa Village Chief, Hongcai has fallen down."
Yan Chuan heard a 'thud' and looked up to see Li Hongcai fall on the field. Because he was small, he could only ask the village chief to help him.
The village chief rushed over to check on his grandson. When he helped him up, Li Hongcai was already unable to speak. He was clutching his neck, stabbing his feet against the paddy field, his face was flushed, and his expression was contorted. It was clear that he couldn't breathe.
What to do? The village chief panicked.
"Hongcai, Hongcai, what's wrong? Don't scare Grandpa."
"What to do? What to do?"
The village chief was so frightened that tears welled up in his eyes. When Chen Ping'an saw this, he quickly ran down from his field. This was going to be a fatal situation.
Su Luo dropped the rice seedlings in her hand, not even bothering to wash her muddy hands, and rushed to the field embankment. When she saw Li Hongcai like this, she knew that he had choked on something in his trachea.
He quickly took Li Hongcai from the village chief's arms, hugged him from behind, and immediately performed the Heimlich maneuver on him.
Two finger-widths above the navel, make a fist with your right hand and hold it with your left hand. Use the force of the upward and backward thrust to increase the air pressure in your lungs and use the air pressure to force the foreign object out of your trachea.
After several impacts, the pastry in Li Hongcai's mouth flew out, clearing his airway. He gasped for breath, and his body and complexion slowly returned to normal.
Li Hongcai was so frightened that he burst into tears.
Su Luo put him down and said to the village chief, "Village chief, he's fine now. He just had something stuck in his throat from that pastry."
The village chief breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his grandson could cry and stand up again.
Chen Ping'an's heart was pounding with anxiety: "Thanks to Su Luo just now, otherwise Hongcai would have been in danger."
The village chief held Li Hongcai in his arms, and it took a while for Li Hongcai to stop crying. The village chief then pulled him to Su Luo's side, and together they bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Su Luo, you are our Li family's savior."
Su Luo was about to help the village chief up and tell him to stop, but seeing that her hands were still covered in mud, she withdrew her hand.
"Village chief, you're too kind. You're asking for even more help from us. Please don't do that."
At this moment, many villagers who were working in the fields came over to see what was going on. They were all curious and wondered what had happened. The villagers who were closest to them explained that the village chief's grandson had almost choked to death on some pastries, and Su Luo had saved him.
The village chief was so frightened that he developed a psychological trauma. Although his grandson was better now, he was afraid that he would be like this again in the future. If he couldn't find Su Luo in time, he would be doomed.
Su Luo's technique just now was to save lives, like a doctor's secret recipe. Is it too much to want someone else's secret recipe? But what about the life of your grandson...?
"Su Luo, um... I... you..."
The village chief blushed and lowered his head, feeling extremely guilty.
"Does the village chief want to learn the rescue technique I just used?"
For the sake of his grandson's life, the village chief nodded, his face flushed.
Su Luo smiled and said, "This is basic first aid knowledge that everyone should know. I won't hide it from you."
Su Luo then turned to look at Chen Ping'an and the villagers who had gathered around to watch.
"If any of you want to learn, I can teach you right now. Whether you are an adult or a child, if something is blocking your throat, you must use this method to provide first aid immediately, otherwise it could be life-threatening."
Chen Ping'an thought of his daughter who loved to eat whatever she wanted, and wondered what would happen if she ended up like Li Hongcai did today. With that in mind, he immediately said to Su Luo.
"Su Luo, I, I want to learn."
In the villagers' homes, those with children all want to learn, and those without children will have children in the future. Besides, it can save both adults and children, so who wouldn't want to learn another life-saving skill?
“Yan Chuan’s mother, we all want to learn, please teach us.”
"good!"
People who originally came to work in the fields, men, women, and children, all stopped what they were doing and came to learn from Su Luo.
Su Luo first went to the field to wash the mud off her hands, then called Yan Chuan over. Yan Chuan became her teaching model for the villagers.
Yan Chuan is very enthusiastic about learning new things, and he now trusts Su Luo completely.
Su Luo demonstrated the technique to everyone, showing them where to place their hands and the key points of the technique.
Seeing that everyone understood, Su Luo then spoke.
"If the foreign object is expelled using the method we just used and the person can breathe normally, then it's a success. If the person is unconscious, it means they are not getting air, and we will need to proceed with the next step of the rescue."
Su Luo had Yan Chuan lie down on the field embankment and continued.
"If this happens, you must lay him flat and press on his chest with both hands. This can revive his heart in a short time and bring him back to life."
Having witnessed Su Luo save Li Hongcai, they believed in Su Luo, and the village legend that Su Luo had a powerful master must also be true. They would definitely teach what they had learned today to their families when they got home.
The villagers now have a much higher opinion of Su Luo, thanks to her generous guidance.
After everyone had left, the village chief asked Su Luo, "Su Luo, did you learn how to pull up rice seedlings from your master? Will this really result in more rice growing?"
Su Luo found the excuse of having a non-existent master quite useful. She replied, "Yes, my master taught me all of this."
The village chief completely trusted Su Luo. He said, "Okay, then we'll pull out some seedlings too, so they're not so dense, and we can harvest more rice."
Chen Ping'an followed Su Luo's example and pulled the rice seedlings thinner. He had three mu of land, so he pulled one mu to check and left the remaining two mu. He didn't dare to risk using all of them.
Yan Chuan recalled the techniques Su Luo had used on him. He was more immersed in the experience than anyone else. He not only had to remember them, but also had to practice them. His mother was so tired from working, so he would teach these techniques to his younger sister and grandmother when he got back.
At noon, Su Luo finished all the work on the one mu of land before leading Yan Chuan home, where Zhao Ruyun had already prepared a meal and was waiting for them.
Yi Huan was playing with Hua Hua inside the fence when she saw Su Luo and Yan Chuan return. She immediately looked unhappy.
"Mom, you took my brother to the fields but not me. I'm angry."
Su Luo picked her up, and she smiled again.
"Huanhuan, be good. Next time, Mommy will definitely take you with me."
Yan Chuan pulled Yi Huan down from Su Luo's arms: "Sister, Mother is very tired. You were the one who slept like a pig."
