Guo Tianya patted her chest and declared, "Guo Tianya, a former educated youth sent to the countryside! I'm going to report this Su Ruyi as an imposter! She's only 15 years old, how could she possibly know how to see a doctor?"
Without saying a word, Su Ruyi returned to her room, took out her "Barefoot Doctor Certificate" from her spatial storage, and showed it to everyone.
Su Tong watched all of this with his mouth agape the entire time.
Last night, Su Ruyi briefly mentioned that she had become an apprentice of village doctor Jin Dachun, but she didn't mention that she had also obtained a certificate!
How did she get accepted?!
At this moment, he looked at Su Ruyi with a puzzled expression, but received a reassuring look in return.
So he said, "Ruyi learned her medical skills from my grandfather. Of all the children in the family, my grandfather said that only Ruyi has talent. Guo Zhiqing, you don't understand, so please don't speak carelessly."
Su Ruyi's eyes welled up with tears instantly—this was her fourth brother, who believed in her unconditionally, no matter how outrageous the situation was.
Guo Tianya pursed her lips.
This was Su Ruyi's own brother, and his words naturally intimidated her.
Guo Tianya was still unwilling to give up: "Then... I still want to report her! I want to report Su Ruyi..."
Just then, Jiang Aiguo rushed out, scooped Guo Tianya up in one swift motion, and carried her straight back to the courtyard.
Su Ruyi smiled helplessly, "I'm sorry to have made the captain laugh!"
Ding Liming's eyes seemed to hold a deeper meaning: "What? Are you always causing trouble for me? Should I write a report and send it back to her?"
Su Ruyi quickly shook her head: "It's not that bad, she just has a bad temper and misunderstands me a bit!"
Ding Liming gave a thumbs up: "No wonder he's Old Jin's apprentice, so magnanimous!"
Ding Liming turned and left. Su Ruyi put her "Barefoot Doctor Certificate" into her handbag and tried to slip away, but Su Tong grabbed her and pulled her back seat.
Su Ruyi pleaded guiltily, "Fourth Brother... I'll explain when I get back. If I don't go deliver the food soon, my master will starve to death!"
Su Tong had no choice but to let go.
Su Ruyi hung the lunchbox net bag on the handlebars, got on the bike, and disappeared in a flash.
When we arrived at the clinic, we saw Jin Dachun sitting inside through the window, wearing a white coat, with his injured leg propped up on a high stool, and a pair of crutches next to him.
Su Ruyi hurriedly got off the car with the net bag in her hand: "Master, you got up so early!"
Jin Dachun laughed and said, "As people get older, they need less sleep!"
Su Ruyi looked around the room.
This clinic is a suite; the front room is the consultation room, and the back room is the treatment room.
The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine includes both Chinese medicine cabinets and Western medicine debridement and suturing kits, sterilizers, and simple antibiotics.
Seeing that Jin Dachun had wiped his hands, Su Ruyi quickly took out the porridge and vegetables and arranged them.
Jin Dachun didn't stand on ceremony and started slurping his food down, asking between bites, "Did Ding Liming come to see you?"
“I’ve been here.” Su Ruyi nodded. “Thank you, Master. Captain Ding said I can cover shifts for three months, and I’ll be paid 10 points for it.”
Jin Dachun said with satisfaction, "This Ding Lao Er is much better at getting things done than that damned Ding Da Guo!"
After saying that, he pointed to a thick notebook on the table: "This is the village's medical records. All the patients in the village are listed here. I numbered them according to the dictionary method. For those with the same name, I also wrote down their physical characteristics. You can match them up! They are mostly chronic diseases. Some need to take medicine, some need acupuncture, or moxibustion every few days."
Su Ruyi randomly flipped to a page and saw that it read—
Ding Youliang 2 (has large freckles on his face), has lower back pain.
Number of treatments: 1.
Cause of illness: Overwork.
Treatment: Cupping (bring your own liquor).
Price: 2 cents per session, exactly 1 cent.
An unconscious smile appeared on Su Ruyi's face.
Jin Dachun had already wolfed down his breakfast.
Su Ruyi had noticed that he hadn't lost a single tooth, and when he chewed carrot shreds, they made a crunching sound.
This is truly extraordinary for an 81-year-old man; his health preservation skills are remarkable.
Jin Dachun clicked his tongue: "Your cooking is so good!"
Su Ruyi hurriedly said, "This was made by a female educated youth from our educated youth settlement. Her name is Shulan. I've already discussed it with her. Master, until your foot injury heals, you'll eat with us. I'll bring your food over later. If I'm not in the village, she'll bring the food."
"Where are you going?" Jin Dachun asked, his eyes wide.
“Uncle Yu told me yesterday that I should go to the police station to see him when I have time today,” Su Ruyi replied truthfully.
"Hmph!" Jin Dachun snorted in dissatisfaction. "He can't find anyone else to write the reports, so he's planning to use you as a conscript! Yesterday he was even telling me how beautiful your handwriting is! You absolutely mustn't go!"
So... that's how it is?
As the two were talking, a commotion suddenly broke out outside, followed by a series of urgent knocks on the front door, accompanied by the cries of a middle-aged woman: "Dr. Jin, please save my Bingguo!"
Su Ruyi hurried around to the front yard and saw a group of people in a mess. The leader was a peasant woman with snot and tears all over her face, holding a baby covered in bruises in her arms.
She quickly called out to the crowd, "Please come to the backyard. Dr. Jin is injured and has difficulty moving around."
A large group of people rushed into the backyard.
The baby was brought before Dr. Jin, who reached out to feel the fontanelle and carotid artery, then shook his head: "Too late."
Upon hearing this, the peasant woman's legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground, tearing at an old woman beside her: "It's all your fault! You're the one who killed my Bingguo! I gave birth to five daughters before I had Bingguo! You owe me Bingguo! You owe me my son!"
The old woman, despite being attacked, did not fight back, but murmured, "Bingguo... Grandma's eldest grandson, it was Grandma who was confused! I was afraid you would be cold, so I put an extra blanket on you... Who knew it would cover your face... Ah... I don't want to live anymore, I have let down the ancestors of the Ding family!"
Su Ruyi observed for a while, then stepped forward and took the baby.
It was clearly suffocation.
The moment she touched the baby, she sensed with her divine sense that the infant was still alive.
However, if someone suffocates for too long, their intelligence may be affected even after they are rescued.
Just then, the book "The Extraordinary Meridians and Five Elements Divine Needles" that she had learned the day before yesterday suddenly flashed through her mind. It contained a "Thirteen Star Soul-Returning Needle", which was the acupuncture technique for treating mechanical asphyxiation.
On a whim, she immediately pulled a needle case from her handbag.
"Ruyi!" Jin Dachun called out to her, then gently shook his head.
Su Ruyi naturally knew that her master had determined that the baby was beyond saving and did not want to cause her any trouble.
But she was confident because the baby's heartbeat, though weak, was persistent, and there was still hope.
Just then, the baby's grandmother rushed in front of her, trying to snatch the child back: "Who are you? What are you trying to do?"
