Although the general situation was already known through the other children's chatter, no one had a comprehensive understanding of the whole thing after all, so the words of Su Qingluan, the "bystander" who was also the "rescue organizer", were very important.
After all, the only older child was too timid and kept huddled in the corner trembling. She had no memory of anything except the moment when everyone pulled Chen Jiabao ashore together.
Tian Xing'er and the girls she was friends with were actually older, but they were sent by Su Qingluan to get reinforcements and did not witness the entire process. What's more, Tian Xing'er had gone to inform Chen Jiabao's mother, her aunt, and she probably wouldn't be back for a while.
The oldest of the remaining children was only a little over ten years old, and with this life-threatening emergency happening, they were all frightened to the point of being incoherent. Apart from Chen Jiabao, who had been soaked in ice water for a long time, there were two or three others who were obviously too frightened. They were completely different from their lively and talkative selves at the beginning, and had become very timid and fearful.
In this case, we can only prescribe some tranquilizing and refreshing medicines to slowly regulate the body before the condition can get better.
Even before Su Qingluan fell ill in her previous life, she had learned a wealth of first aid techniques from traveling extensively with her master. In her master's words, "We must not only understand the benefits of certain ingredients, but also how to harvest them and how to administer first aid if we ingest something poisonous."
For example, if you eat mushroom puffer fish, it is very likely that you will end up lying flat on your back if you eat it accidentally.
As a typical foodie, Su Qingluan naturally couldn't just "not eat for safety's sake", so she obediently learned all kinds of relevant knowledge, and also learned some first aid knowledge by the way.
Su Qingluan also understood that asking her to recount the details of the whole incident from beginning to end was most likely to check whether Chen Jiabao, who was now in a coma, had suffered some hidden injuries. After all, in this situation, even if one wanted to "look, listen, ask and feel", the patient himself would not answer any questions.
So Su Qingluan recalled as comprehensively as possible, slowly reviewing the whole incident, including the general reactions of the other children around her.
"It was quite lucky that the hole in the ice just happened to get stuck on one of Chen Jiabao's legs when it opened," he said, feeling a sense of dread. "If the hole had been bigger, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
The current in that section was fast, and although the riverbed was relatively narrow, the water level in the center was very deep. So if the ice hole had opened up any wider, and Chen Jiabao had no tools to secure himself to a larger, harder block of ice, he would have likely been swept under the turbulent undercurrent, without even a chance to surface and call for help.
When the more experienced fishermen and hunters gathered in the inner circle heard this, their rich life experience naturally made them understand the implication of Su Qingli's words, and their faces all looked unhappy.
One of them—the bearded man Tian Xing'er had mistaken for "uncle"—turned to look at Su Qingluan and said in surprise, "Could it be that Madam Su used to make a living by fishing and hunting in the wild? Many people can't tell which types of water are likely to have hidden drains, but Madam Su knows it very well."
Su Qingluan smiled. "The book says that when the river is turbulent, the ice is weak. Turbulence is more likely to form when there are sharp bends or hidden reefs. In such places, the water flow is more intense, and undercurrents are naturally more likely to form. Even if there is ice on the surface, it is more fragile than other places, and it takes colder weather before people can walk on it."
"It seems that this kid from the Chen family needs special treatment for his left leg." Song Bo sighed when he heard Su Qingluan say that Chen Jiabao's left leg was stuck in the ice hole for a long time.
As expected, Mu Xingzhi began to roll up Chen Jiabao's trouser legs again and examine him carefully. He also added a few more herbs and said he was going to prepare moxibustion.
Su Qingluan blinked and thought of the so-called "moxibustion". Her first reaction was the advertisements for health care, weight loss and body beauty in her previous life.
It was not until Mu Xingzhi placed the moxa on the acupuncture point on Chen Jiabao's right leg that Su Qingluan realized belatedly that this was completely different from those "one patch will make you healthier" advertisements in her previous life.
At least on the surface, there were only Mu Xingzhi and Song Bo in Mu Xingzhi's mansion. Because Mu Xingzhi was "impaired in mobility", he had to use a wheelchair to do everything, and Song Bo, who cooperated with him tacitly, was so busy that he had no time to listen to Mu Xingzhi's orders.
Su Qingluan couldn't just stand by and watch - not to mention that she and Mu Xingzhi were friends after all, so she would help if she could. But just because they had to save people quickly, it was worth her helping to get the medicine and decoct the herbs.
In particular, many villagers cannot understand the prescription at all. If they are allowed to go back and take the medicine indiscriminately, it would be a good thing if the expected effect is not achieved. The only thing to worry about is something unexpected happening.
So Su Qingluan also helped out.
Although there were several frightened and injured children, fortunately, there were people who could help one after another, so the situation came to an end quickly.
Su Qingluan sat on a small stool in the kitchen, decocting medicine. After finishing the last dose of medicine, she realized that she was a little tired.
It's no wonder. She brought her younger brothers and sisters to fish early in the morning, then started the life-and-death rescue, and then came to help again. She didn't get any rest the whole day, and she was also extremely nervous. It would be a miracle if she wasn't tired.
Because "Mr. Mu" was a very intimidating figure to the villagers, no one dared to wander freely around Mu Xing's house. The kitchen was only a temporary place because Su Qingluan said she needed to boil some medicine, and the strong wind outside could easily extinguish the fire. So, apart from Song Bo who came to fetch the medicine, no one else would come.
There are no stools here, but for Su Qingluan now, even if there is no place to sit, it would be fine for her to squat!
Seeing that there was no one around, she squatted on the ground and then sighed: Sure enough, when I am extremely tired, even squatting is much more comfortable than standing!
Ah... Su Qingluan hugged her knees and couldn't help but rest her head on them: Ah... She curled herself up like this, and it seemed like she could fall asleep right away with her head on her knees. Su Qingluan felt her eyelids a little heavy.
She seemed really sleepy.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a forward force on the top of her head.
In fact, the force was very gentle, almost to the extent of a "caress" - of course, a little more force than that. Under normal circumstances, this amount of force would not be enough to cause any consequences.
However, Su Qingluan was in a half-asleep and half-awake state at this time. Her whole body was relaxed and she had no center of gravity under her feet. Such a slight force made her head heavy and she fell forward all of a sudden!
