Upon hearing the sound, Sheng Xiping turned around and saw about ten people carrying two makeshift stretchers, hurrying towards him.
"What's going on? Weren't we going up the mountain to plant trees? How did we run into a black bear?"
Upon seeing this, Sheng Xiping hurriedly stepped forward, took the stretcher from a boy of about fifteen or sixteen, and asked him questions.
"Uh, does anyone know what happened?"
During the lunch break, three or four children misbehaved and secretly went into the woods to pick vegetables.
I don't know how we ran into the black bear. The black bear tackled two of them, and the rest ran back to report the news.
Our school teachers led a group of people over, chased the bear away, and then rescued the person.
The speaker was Wang Dongsheng, a teacher at the primary and secondary school of Qianchuan Forest Farm, who used to be a forest farm employee.
One winter, he was working when a piece of wood fell on his leg, and he became lame. He was somewhat educated, so he was assigned to be a teacher at a school.
Sheng Xiping was in a hurry and didn't have time to look closely at who it was. Only now did he realize that the person speaking was Sheng Xikang's homeroom teacher.
Startled, he quickly looked down at the student he was carrying.
The child was covered in blood, making him unrecognizable, but the clothes he was wearing were not the ones Sheng Xikang had worn that morning.
"Teacher Wang, where is our third child? Where is he?"
They were carrying the person down the aisle, so Sheng Xiping couldn't turn around to look. He could only ask Wang Dongsheng.
"Oh, you mean Sheng Xikang? He's fine; he's carrying the child from behind."
He didn't go into the woods with us, but later when someone shouted for help, he came with us to chase the bear.
Wang Dongsheng carried the other side, panting as he walked, and said this.
As they spoke, the group arrived at the farm's health clinic.
When the clinic staff came over and saw the injury, they quickly waved their hands, saying, "No, it's quite serious. We need to get him to the hospital right away."
The two children, one of whom had his scalp ripped off and other injuries, were unconscious.
Another person was scratched on the back by a black bear, and it seems that their leg was also bitten; the injuries were quite severe.
The forest farm clinic can only treat headaches and colds; it can't treat such a serious injury.
Upon hearing this, Teacher Wang immediately had someone carry the student to the small train station. He went to the farm headquarters to ask the leaders for a vehicle, while also arranging for someone to go to the student's home to notify the family.
Fortunately, the leaders of the forest farm left someone at home to keep watch today. As soon as they heard that a child had been harmed by a black bear while planting trees on the mountain, they quickly arranged for the forest farm's motorcycle truck to take the child to Songjianghe.
At the same time, they also called the bureau, which arranged for a car to pick them up at the Sen Lorraine Railway Station.
It was the most crucial time of the afforestation campaign, and both students' families were on the mountain.
Seeing this, the teachers had no choice but to go to the hospital with them.
"Xiping, you should also go to the hospital and tell them to do everything they can to save the child. Medical expenses and such can be covered by our forest farm's account."
If there's anything you can't handle, go to the bureau and find someone there.
Zheng Xianyong also arrived at the small train station. Upon seeing the situation, he arranged for Sheng Xiping to get off the train as well.
The main reason is that Sheng Xiping has many acquaintances in the bureau. If there is anything urgent and the forest farm doesn't have time to contact them, then Sheng Xiping has no choice but to go to the bureau to find someone to help.
What could Sheng Xiping say when the leader spoke? He could only follow along.
And so, the teachers and Sheng Xiping accompanied the two unconscious students, riding a railway motorcycle all the way to the Sen Railway small train station.
The bureau arranged a car and manpower in advance to help lift the two children into the car and rush them to the Forestry Bureau Hospital.
The hospital has already received the news, and as soon as the child arrived, they immediately sent him for examination and emergency treatment.
Sheng Xiping and the others couldn't offer much help, so they waited outside the operating room.
I don't know how much time passed, but the one whose back was scratched and whose leg was bitten by the black bear was the first to be delivered.
"The child's leg bone was bitten off, but surgery has been performed to set it. No bones were damaged on his back, but the wound was very deep and has been cleaned and sutured."
"Children are young and have strong recovery abilities; they'll recover gradually after a period of hospitalization."
The doctor said a few words, and Wang Dongsheng and the others helped take the child to the ward.
We had just settled things here when a nurse came out from the other end. "The patient has lost too much blood and is in critical condition. He needs a blood transfusion. Does anyone here have type O blood?"
The human head has many blood vessels, and even a small cut can cause a lot of bleeding, let alone if the scalp is ripped open. It would definitely cause a lot of bleeding, and it's normal to need a blood transfusion.
Sheng Xiping has type B blood and cannot receive a blood transfusion from type O. However, among the teachers who came with him, Wang Dongsheng and another person are both type O.
The two were called away by the nurses to have their blood types tested and cross-matched. Then, their blood was drawn to give to the child who was undergoing surgery. Each of them received 400 milliliters of blood.
After quite some time, another child was brought out.
"The scalp that the black bear tore off has been stitched up. The child's condition is somewhat dangerous. Tonight is crucial. As long as he doesn't get a fever tonight, he will most likely pull through."
By this time, the children's parents had arrived.
Seeing her child in that state, the mother burst into tears, and the father also cried uncontrollably.
Wang Dongsheng, the child's homeroom teacher, could only apologize to the parents with a pale face.
During the spring afforestation campaign, students from upper elementary school to junior high and high school all have to go up the mountain to participate.
Before heading up the mountain, the school repeatedly emphasized that all students must abide by the rules, follow the teachers' instructions, and not act on their own.
Of course, this incident must be partly due to the teacher's inadequate supervision, and Wang Dongsheng, as the child's homeroom teacher, certainly needs to take a firm stance.
