Chapter 136 Landslide...
"This is great news!" Chen Yin exclaimed in surprise.
Locally, Wu Wenbo and Wu Yushu had a fairly high level of education, but it was very difficult for them to find a good job or even a government position.
The county is recruiting me to be an instructor. If I perform well, I will have a promising future.
"I'll go call my mom to come over and have some fun."
Chen Yin walked briskly to the backyard, interrupting her mother who was busy working in the newly opened vegetable patch.
"Mom, Brother Wenbo and Brother Yushu are coming from the village. Go and take a look."
"Why are they both free to come to town at this hour?"
Wu Dongmei put down the weeds in her hand in confusion, quickly washed her hands, and followed her daughter's pace.
She turned her head and saw the smile on her daughter's face that could not be hidden, and immediately realized that there was something mysterious.
"Seeing you smiling so happily, it must be a good thing."
"Hehe!" Chen Yin smiled sweetly at her mother and continued to play dumb. "It's not just a good thing, it's a very good thing!"
Hearing this, Wu Dongmei subconsciously raised her eyebrows and walked faster.
Turning the corner, he saw Wu Wenbo and the other man. Unable to suppress his curiosity, he quickly asked.
"Yinyin said something great happened. What is it? I'm glad you two have time to go to town. I'll prepare a good meal for you later. Eat well and drink well before you go back."
Faced with their aunt's concern, Wu Wenbo and his friend couldn't help but smile.
They once again displayed the dishes and various dry goods that the family had specially requested to be sent.
"Auntie, please don't bother. We won't be in town for long. The things here were all sent by the villagers. We just came up here and brought them all with us."
Wu Dongmei looked at the two full baskets and didn't know what to say.
At the same time, she also noticed the luggage in the hands of the two people.
"Where are you two going? Didn't Yinyin say something good was going to happen?"
"Mom, good things are closely related to luggage, so let Brother Wenbo decide."
Chen Yin continued to keep the secret, which made Wu Dongmei so angry that she slapped her daughter on the back.
But at the same time, she turned her gaze back to the two of them, noticing the curve in her nephew's mouth that could not be hidden at all.
Wu Wenbo met his aunt's gaze, lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, touched the back of his neck with his hand and said:
"Nothing much. The county just recruited us to go to other towns to teach Chinese medicinal herb cultivation techniques."
"Oh! This is really a good thing for our family and the whole village."
Wu Dongmei clapped her hands excitedly, and looked at Wu Wenbo and Wu Yushu with the satisfaction of an elder in her eyes.
This was a great encouragement to both of them.
Even when the news reached the village, I received encouragement from many villagers.
But when I arrived at Huimin Hall and saw my aunt and Yinyin, I had different feelings about them.
The two had important things to do, so Wu Dongmei and Chen Yin didn't want to keep them and just watched them leave.
Afterwards, Chen Yin followed her mother to wash the vegetables sent from the village and prepare them to be consumed quickly in the next two days, otherwise it would be a pity if they went bad.
While washing, Wu Dongmei looked at the eggplants and cucumbers that had just grown to the length of a finger in her hands, and her tone of voice was somewhat satisfied and regretful.
"If we had picked such small eggplants and cucumbers in the past, your grandmother would have given us a good scolding."
Chen Yin then found a small cucumber, rinsed it with clean water, put it in her mouth and bit it off.
A crisp sound rang in my ears, and a sweet taste spread between my lips and teeth.
"This cucumber is very tender and delicious." Chen Yin exclaimed.
Then we started to speculate about the origins of cucumbers and eggplants.
"I guess the villagers dug up the land that was originally used for growing vegetables and used it all to grow Chinese medicinal herbs."
"It's enough to make money. Now everyone has enough food to eat." Wu Dongmei was telling the truth.
Farming is no longer restricted like before. Basically, as long as there is vacant land next to the house, it can be used to grow vegetables.
Moreover, the problem of farming now is not that there is not enough food, but that there is not enough money to improve life.
Now we have a cooperative enterprise found by the county. As long as we grow medicinal herbs steadily, we will be able to have a considerable income by the end of the year.
Compared with some vegetables and Chinese medicinal herbs, they are insignificant.
Wu Dongmei just sighed and was very happy that the villagers had found a way to make a fortune.
She looked up at the sky and couldn't help but smile.
"The weather has been great lately, with the sun shining and a little rain coming down from time to time. It's the perfect time for farming."
Chen Yin has also studied planting books and agrees with her mother.
Looking at the good weather, the two of them are looking forward to a good harvest this year.
It’s a pity that the weather was not good. After several days of sunshine, haze began to appear in the sky and remained over Dongyu without dispersing.
Finally, late at night a month later, Chen Yin heard a loud bang in her dream, which scared her awake.
Then, a burst of miserable screams and children's sobbing broke out all around.
“Snap!”
Chen Yin quickly opened the door, got out of bed, opened the window, and leaned out to observe the situation outside.
In the dark night, she vaguely observed that the mountain near the clinic seemed to be sliding, as if a house was hit by rocks falling from the mountain and collapsed.
In a flash, Chen Yin quickly retracted her body, changed her clothes and hurried downstairs.
She was not the only one who heard the sound. Others heard someone coming down the stairs and turned on the lights and got up.
Chen Yin first turned on all the lights on the first floor, took a flashlight and backpack, and rushed towards the house where the noise was heard.
Before she got close, she heard crying and shouting, and someone kept saying "help".
"Hurry, hurry! Move the heavy objects out first, otherwise we won't be able to save the child."
"Come on, let's work hard together!"
"One, two, one, get up—"
At the same time, the child buried under the house had already panicked and was sobbing helplessly.
"Ouch! Mom, it hurts!"
Just then, the neighbors who got up to help nearby discovered Chen Yin and shouted in surprise.
"Doctor Chen! You're here!"
"That's really great! We were worried that if we weren't careful, the child would get hurt. It's really great that you're here."
"Doctor Chen, please wait a moment, we will rescue the child right away."
With the help of everyone working together, the child buried underneath finally appeared in front of everyone.
In an instant, an unconcealable joy flowed through everyone's hearts.
The child's mother couldn't wait to step forward, bend down, and try to pull the child up from the ground.
The situation was urgent, and Chen Yin immediately shouted, "Wait!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was focused on her, and the child's mother was no exception.
"Don't worry, everyone. I'll check the child first to make sure he's not injured, and then I'll get him out. It would be bad if he gets hurt again."
"Yes, yes, yes! Doctor Chen, you go first."
The child's mother only then realized how risky her action was and quickly gave up her seat to Chen Yin.
Chen Yin walked forward quickly and passed the flashlight in her hand to the onlookers, "Please help me light the child."
Then she slowly walked to the child and comforted him softly.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay now. Let me take a look at you. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you can tell me."
The child's face was covered with tears, and he nodded ignorantly in response to Chen Yin's gentle words.
When he slowly regained consciousness, Chen Yin had already reached out to the child.
She first checked the head to make sure there were no wounds or discomfort.
Then came her hands. As soon as her hands touched the child's shoulders, a cry of pain exploded in her ears.
"pain!"
The child's voice touched the mother's heart so much that Tong Rui completely forgot Chen Yin's reminder and ran forward, wanting to hug the child and comfort him.
"Watch out for the kid's arms!"
Chen Yin stretched out her hand to stop Tong Rui's actions.
Tong Rui glanced at Chen Yin awkwardly, her ears flushed red. "I'm sorry, Doctor Chen, I was too anxious."
"I understand the child is frightened and the mother is worried. In that case, you should comfort the child, but remember not to touch him."
"Yeah," Tong Rui nodded repeatedly in surprise.
Chen Yin once again focused her gaze on the child and gently stroked the top of the child's head.
"Now you can let me see it. If you are afraid, bury your head in your mother's arms."
Without waiting for the child to move, Tong Rui took the lead in wrapping the child up, and her panicked heart instantly calmed down.
Chen Yin felt the child's relaxed muscles and continued to examine the area she had just touched.
She was careful, gentle, and slow, and touched the part where the child's shoulder and arm were connected again.
This time, with the comfort of his mother, the child's resistance to pain was much smaller, and the movements Chen Yin wanted to do were also much easier.
I don’t know what the child experienced during the landslide, but he actually got a dislocation.
While the child was still not reacting, she pinched the child's shoulder with one hand and upper arm with the other, moving both hands at the same time.
With a "click", the child's dislocated arm was instantly connected.
The child only had time to let out half of a cry of pain, and the rest remained in his throat.
Hearing the noise, Tong Rui looked at Chen Yin worriedly, his eyes particularly bright in the dark night.
Chen Yin released her hand and said to the child, "Try to move your right hand. Is there anything uncomfortable now?"
Then she shared her diagnosis.
"The child must have dislocated his arm when he was trying to dodge. He's fine now that it's been reattached."
"Thank you, Doctor Chen."
At this time, Tong Rui finally understood why the child had just shouted.
She tentatively reached out to the other shoulder and touched it gently. When she didn't hear the child cry out, her tense heart relaxed slightly.
The next second, Tong Rui hurriedly took the child out of her arms and looked at Chen Yin anxiously.
"Please, Doctor Chen, take a look and see if there's anything wrong here?"
"Don't worry, it's just dislocated on the right side."
"Hu——" Tong Rui's quick exhalation was particularly obvious in the dark night.
At this time, other doctors who heard Chen Yin go out rushed to the scene and helped clean up.
Liu Mengxi spotted his friend in the crowd at a glance, and he climbed over obstacles one after another to come to his friend.
"Yin Yin, what's wrong with this child?"
"He was just buried and rescued. The right arm was found to be dislocated, and the rest is being checked."
After hearing Chen Yin's words, Liu Mengxi stopped talking and silently observed Chen Yin's actions.
Soon, Chen Yin's hands moved from the child's upper body to the lower body.
At this time, the blood hidden in the night was clearly visible under the illumination of the flashlight.
Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but gasp, their eyes constantly wandering between Chen Yin and Tong Rui.
Chen Yin's expression remained calm as she tore open the blood-stained trouser legs with her hands, revealing her calves covered in blood.
In addition to bloodstains, there were also various dust stains on the white and tender calves, and the black stains blended into the blood color, making people frown when looking at them.
Amid everyone's worried gazes, Chen Yin continued the inspection in an orderly manner.
After confirming that the child had no other major injuries except for the calf injury, the transfer plan was immediately determined.
"Doctor Liu, Doctor Qi, come here for a moment."
The two people who were cleaning up the rubble heard the shouting, quickly put down what they were holding and walked forward quickly.
"Doctor Chen, what's wrong?"
"The child's calf is injured and needs to be transferred to our clinic for treatment. The two of you go get a stretcher and help transfer the child."
"Okay! We'll be right back."
Soon, Chen Yin and her friends brought the child back to the clinic, and the child's parents also accompanied them.
In the clinic, Chen Yin asked Liu Mengxi to help disinfect and clean the wound on the child's calf.
She took out the silver needles from her backpack, ready to reduce the child's pain and act like anesthesia.
But there is no child of this age who is not afraid of needles.
The moment he saw the silver needle, the child acted as if he had seen a ferocious beast. He didn't even care about the wound on his leg. He hid backwards frantically, buried his head in his mother's arms, and moved his arms vigorously.
"I don't want the injection, Mom—"
"I don't want an injection—"
Tong Rui was really helpless when facing the pitiful child.
She smiled shyly at Chen Yin and other doctors, protecting the child's body and comforting him softly.
"Didn't Mom tell you before? Sister Yinyin is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and doesn't use injections. Have you forgotten the last time you took the medicine?"
After hearing these words, the child was not afraid anymore, but hid deeper into the room.
Compared to being pricked by a needle, drinking bitter medicine is not much better.
The child didn't understand much and just kept crying, "I don't want the injection, I don't want to take the medicine!"
At a time like this, if Tong Rui and her husband let it go, they would not be parents.
After obtaining Chen Yin's permission, the two of them held the child's body together to prevent any mistakes during treatment.
After confirming that the child was able to receive treatment safely, Chen Yin immediately gave the child an injection.
While giving acupuncture, she also taught other doctors who did not have the opportunity to be on the scene, so that they could receive timely treatment when they encountered similar situations.
As the silver needles fell into the child's body, the child's screams gradually stopped.
Just as Liu Mengxi was disinfecting, a breeze blew by, and a slight coolness appeared on his calves.
The child carefully opened a small hole in his tightly closed eyes and watched Liu Mengxi take out iodine to disinfect and clean his calf.
Every blood-stained cotton swab proved that what he saw was correct.
But he did not feel the pain he had felt when applying the medicine before.
Gradually, the child's eyes opened wider and wider, until they became a pair of round eyes, staring at Liu Mengxi's every move intently.
Liu Mengxi has some experience in simple disinfection, wound hemostasis and recovery.
After making sure that the wound has been completely cleaned, immediately take out the clinic's homemade hemostatic powder and sprinkle it on the wound.
Finally, bandage the wound with a bandage and the simple wound treatment is completed.
Chen Yin came back to finish. Under the child's surprised gaze, she took out the silver needle and took the child's pulse.
After confirming that the child was just frightened and had no other injuries, he prescribed a dose of tranquilizing soup and told Qi Wenzhong and others to transfer the child to the ward.
Then he looked at the child's parents and said, "There's nothing serious wrong with the child. He'll be fine after he recovers."
"He's just been pinned down and is a little frightened. I prescribed a tranquilizing soup for you to drink and sleep peacefully. You two can also have a bowl and stay with the child in the clinic. You'll sleep better."
"Thank you, Doctor Chen!"
After hearing the final arrangement, the couple was so moved that they didn't know what to say.
Today is definitely a thrilling day for both of them. The house is definitely not habitable. It is best to stay in the clinic with the child and drink a bowl of calming soup to fall asleep.
After a busy second half of the night, the sky gradually turned brighter.
Chen Yin didn't want to trouble others, so she went to the pharmacy to get and boil the medicine herself, and watched the family of three drink it.
At this point, the hectic night ended. The group of people took a quick nap and soon got up to go to work.
