"Auntie, hurry up and squeeze out the black blood for him. You need to use a lot of force and squeeze it out completely!"
"Don't be afraid of the child being in pain; a little pain can save their life!"
If Lin Xue hadn't been so weak, she would have done it herself.
At first, the old woman didn't dare to exert any force, but after hearing that a little pain could save her life, she ignored the child's cries and squeezed out all the black blood with all her might.
Lin Xue only stopped her when bright red blood started gushing from her leg.
"Be a good baby, let me put some gentian violet on you!"
Lin Xue patted the child's head, then picked up a cotton ball and applied some gentian violet to the wound.
Do you know what kind of snake bit the child?
Lin Xue inquired about the venomous snake, as the doctor would ask the same question when they arrived at the hospital.
"I don't know what kind of snake it was. I killed it after I saw it!"
When the old lady saw that her little grandson had stopped crying, she felt a little relieved.
"Although the poison in your grandson's leg has been squeezed out, we can't be sure if it had spread before!"
"Here's what you'll do: have someone retrieve that venomous snake, and then take your grandson and the snake to see a doctor!"
"Doctor, I'll prescribe an antidote based on the type of snake you're dealing with!"
"Give it to your grandson a couple of times and he should be fine!"
With someone to guide her, the old lady was no longer as helpless as before.
She asked Lin Xue to watch over her grandson while she quickly returned to the riverbank and retrieved the snake's carcass.
When I got back, I saw that my child had an extra milk bread in his hand.
My gratitude towards Lin Xue has grown even stronger.
"Go quickly, the sooner the treatment, the better!"
Seeing that the child was no longer in pain, and glancing at the venomous snake in the old woman's hand, thankfully it was just an ordinary venomous snake and there was no danger to its life.
"Thank you so much for today! I'll come and thank you again after I take my grandson to the hospital!"
The old lady exchanged a few polite words, then picked up her little grandson and left.
Lin Xue watched the two walk away before turning back into the house.
She glanced at the bicycle parked in the corner, considered her current strength, and finally went to the storage room to find the electric fan that her mother said was broken.
The toolbox happened to be in the storage room.
Lin Xue selected the items she could use and brought them along.
Unscrew all the screws one by one and put the parts on the ground one by one.
Finally, the electric fan was disassembled into a pile of parts.
It was only then that they discovered the wiring was faulty, which was why the electric fan wouldn't turn on.
I searched the storage room but couldn't find any wires.
She went back into the house, took two yuan from where her mother kept the money, and headed towards the village shop.
The shop is near the village entrance; she saw it yesterday when she went to the fields.
We didn't encounter many people along the way and arrived at the shop smoothly.
Lin Xue felt that she had much more energy today than yesterday.
I haven't stopped even once during this long journey.
"Xiaoxue's here! What would you like to buy?"
You look great today; you must have been taking good care of yourself these past few days!
The shop was run by a middle-aged couple, who were very enthusiastic.
Upon seeing Lin Xue, he even took the initiative to inquire about her health.
"My mom makes me delicious food every day to nourish my body. If it doesn't work at all, then it's all wasted!"
Lin Xue replied with a smile.
"Auntie, can you find me a piece of wire? The wiring for my electric fan has been gnawed by rats, so I need to replace it!"
Lin Xue scanned the goods in the small shop one by one; most of them were cigarettes, alcohol, and snacks for children.
There are also simple dishes like bean sprouts and tofu.
This little shop may be small, but it has a pretty complete selection of goods.
"Xiaoxue, do you think this wire will do? If it will, I'll cut a section for you!"
The uncle rummaged under the counter and took out a roll of electrical wire to show Lin Xue.
"Okay, just cut three meters for me!"
Leave the cable a little longer, so you can plug it in even if it's far away.
The original power cord was only 1.5 meters long, so it could only be laid right next to the socket.
"Okay!"
"Wait a minute, I'll go get some scissors!"
After taking the measurements, the man looked up and realized the scissors weren't on the counter, so he put down the power cord and went inside to look for them.
There are new scissors on the shelf, but they're for cutting electrical wires. What if they're not sharp after using them?
So I'll just have to make do with my legs for a bit, since it's not much of a walk anyway.
"Xiaoxue, what would you like to eat? It's your treat!"
This auntie was fair-skinned and plump, looking very fortunate, and she always had a smile on her face, making it impossible for anyone to feel any ill will towards her.
"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie, but I don't need you to treat me. If my mom finds out, she'll scold me again!"
"Do you have any White Rabbit milk candy here? If so, give me a few pieces!"
Since we're already here, it would be a waste not to buy anything, but she also couldn't bear to spend her mother's money recklessly.
After all, it wasn't easy for Lin Cuihua to earn money alone, and most of it was used to buy medicine for her, so they still had to save some money for the family.
"Yes, you don't need any money, just take it and eat!"
The aunt took a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from the bag and put them on the counter. What Lin Xue didn't know was that her family and this aunt's family were related.
However, because they don't usually see each other, they are somewhat estranged.
"Hehe, Auntie, you're going to lose money doing business like this!"
"You'd better calculate the cost of the candy and the wire for me. If you don't, I'll just leave these two dollars here!"
Lin Xue didn't want to take advantage of others, so she insisted on paying the money.
