"Stop! Don't cry here! Get him to the hospital right away!"
Suddenly, a deafening shout came from beside Shen Xiaoxiao's ears. The sound was so loud that it seemed to pierce her eardrums, causing her to feel a sharp pain in her ears.
She frowned and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a burly woman standing there wailing.
Feeling somewhat helpless, Shen Xiaoxin quickly raised her voice and shouted, "Stop crying! Hurry up and get to the hospital! Given the amount of bleeding he's experiencing, if we can't get him to the hospital within half an hour, he might not survive!"
The woman was clearly frightened by Shen Xiaoxiao's words; her crying stopped abruptly, and a look of extreme terror appeared on her face.
Without saying anything more, she hurriedly joined the others in lifting the injured person and rushed towards the door.
Just as I reached the door, I heard a "putt-putt-putt" sound coming from afar. It turned out to be an old tractor, billowing black smoke, speeding toward me.
Seeing this, everyone quickened their pace and went to meet them.
They hurriedly and carefully lifted the injured person onto the flatbed truck behind the tractor.
Before everyone could even get their bearings, the driver slammed on the gas, and the tractor sped off like a wild horse, disappearing into the dust at the end of the road in the blink of an eye.
Watching the tractor drive away, Shen Xiaoxiao sighed softly and turned back into the clinic.
Just then, the village chief and the brigade leader also jogged to the front of the health center.
The captain came running all the way, panting heavily, his face flushed red, and large beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks.
He gasped for breath, his mouth agape, while simultaneously asking impatiently and anxiously.
"Little girl! I just heard someone say that someone over here is seriously injured. What happened? Tell me quickly, who is injured? How serious are the injuries?"
Shen Xiaoxiao quickly replied, "It should be someone from the next village. I don't know that person very well. Apparently, a wild boar charged down from the mountain. It was very fierce and punched a big hole in the man's stomach! But don't worry too much, I've already stopped the bleeding, and he's being taken to the hospital now."
Upon hearing this, the village chief's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down a little. He raised his hand, gently patted his chest, and let out a long sigh before speaking.
"Oh my god, I thought someone from our Shenjia Village was injured! It scared me to death! Luckily it was just someone from the next village. Thank goodness. Those little rascals were talking so unclearly, they didn't explain the situation clearly, and I worried for nothing."
The village chief only realized what he had said after he finished speaking, how could he have said such a thing?
At this moment, the brigade leader suddenly frowned and said with a serious expression, "No, I have to hurry up and inform the villagers."
"Since that wild boar can come down the mountain and hurt people in the next village, it might sneak into our village and cause trouble at any time! We must keep everyone on high alert!"
Before he could finish speaking, the brigade leader turned and ran away in a hurry, like a whirlwind, without even waiting for the village chief behind him.
Watching the brigade leader's departing figure, the village chief shook his head helplessly, then turned to Shen Xiaoxiao and said, "Well, little girl, I'll be going now." With that, the village chief also hurriedly left the scene.
Shen Xiaoxiao watched the two old men's figures gradually disappear into the distance, a helpless smile appearing on her lips.
She turned and went inside, and began to methodically tidy up the soiled tools.
First, take out the silver needles from the space. They lie quietly in the box, as if waiting to be used again.
Shen Xiaoxiao carefully took out the silver needles and placed them one by one into a container filled with alcohol for disinfection.
As time went by, the silver needles gradually became transparent from being soaked. After being disinfected, they were put away and returned to the space, since silver needles were considered feudal in this era.
Next, she picked up other medical instruments, such as tweezers and scissors, and carefully wiped them clean with alcohol before putting them back in their original places.
Throughout the process, Shen Xiaoxiao's movements were light and skillful.
After all the tools had been disinfected and properly placed, Shen Xiaoxiao straightened up and looked around with satisfaction.
The clinic had been cleaned spotlessly.
She turned her head left and right, scanning every corner with her eyes. After confirming that no one would suddenly come to disturb her, she walked straight to the stool and sat down, pulling out a thick book from her storage space.
The cover of this book is a bit yellowed, but it exudes an antique feel. It is a medical book, or more precisely, an ancient medical book.
Shen Xiaoxiao gently turned the pages of the book and was immediately immersed in the wonderful world inside.
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on her, making the moment exceptionally peaceful and beautiful.
However, this tranquility did not last long. Suddenly, a commotion broke the silence from outside the door.
Shen Xiaoxiao raised her head and listened carefully, quickly determining that the noise came from the courtyard outside.
She closed the book, stood up, and walked quickly toward the door.
As she pushed open the door, she happened to see the brigade leader leading several people into the village cadre office next door. Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and waved to them as a greeting.
