Upon hearing this, the brigade leader, sitting on the oxcart, rolled his eyes and muttered irritably, "You brat, we may be a bit old, but we're not bad people. What's there to worry about if we go together? You're just worrying unnecessarily!"
However, Shen Xiaochuan did not back down and retorted confidently, "When you get to the hospital, you will definitely be busy with things like registering and finding a doctor."
"What if you get so flustered that you forget about my sister? Besides, if it's just the two of you going to town, and the doctor requires her to be hospitalized, how will my sister come back all alone?"
"If something happens on the road, who will be responsible? I can't let that happen!" These words were reasonable and well-founded, leaving the captain speechless for a moment, and he could only sigh helplessly.
"Fine, fine, let's go together then. I can't do anything with you!" The captain finally agreed, albeit reluctantly.
Shen Xiaochuan smiled broadly and winked mischievously at his younger sister, Shen Xiaoxiao, looking just like a clever little monkey.
Then he turned to Aunt Qin and shouted, "Aunt Qin, if you see my parents, please tell them for us that we've gone to town!"
"I expect they'll be back a little late, so tell them not to worry."
Aunt Qin smiled and nodded repeatedly, replying, "Don't worry, Xiao Chuan, I'll definitely get the message across!"
At this moment, Dai Xingyun, standing in the bustling crowd, kept his deep eyes fixed on Shen Xiaoxiao, as if she were the only focus of the world.
"Oh my, I never expected Comrade Shen to be so young yet possess such superb medical skills!" Xiahou Jie couldn't help but exclaim sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Dai Xingyun noticed that the car carrying Shen Xiaoxiao had already disappeared at the end of the road. He turned his gaze away from the distance and said, "Alright, we should go back to the educated youth compound now."
Before he finished speaking, he turned around without hesitation and strode straight toward the educated youth compound.
Xiahou Jie was a little stunned by Dai Xingyun's sudden action, but he quickly came to his senses and hurriedly followed.
The two walked side by side for quite a distance, and they could still clearly hear the villagers behind them talking enthusiastically and with great interest about Shen Xiaoxiao.
As Dai Xingyun walked, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, the slight upturn of his lips like a warm ray of sunshine on his face, making him look exceptionally happy.
It was as if the praise from the audience wasn't for Shen Xiaoxiao, but rather a compliment to him personally.
This feeling stirred a strange sense of satisfaction within him.
When they returned to the educated youth compound, they found several educated youths already there, enthusiastically discussing what had just happened.
Lin Huanhuan said excitedly, "I think I just saw Comrade Shen use silver needles to stop the bleeding. That's really amazing!" Her eyes sparkled with admiration and curiosity.
However, Dai Xingyun, who was standing to the side, suddenly cast a cold glance at him and spoke expressionlessly.
"Just mind your own business. There are some things you can say and some things you can't say. You'd better know that."
These cold words, like a chilling wind, sent shivers down one's spine.
Upon hearing this, Lin Huanhuan's face instantly turned ugly. Her lips trembled slightly, but in the end she didn't dare to say another word. She just silently lowered her head, and no one could guess what she was thinking at that moment.
When Qin Xiuxiu saw her friend looking like this, she assumed that she was sad and upset because she had been scolded.
Qin Xiuxiu couldn't help but want to stand up and say a few words for her friend, but when she met Dai Xingyun's sharp gaze, all the words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back.
In the end, she could only obediently shut her mouth and dare not utter another sound.
Meanwhile, several people were driving an oxcart quickly toward the hospital.
Along the way, everyone's hearts were in their throats, fearing that something unexpected might happen, and the oxcart dared not go too fast.
Fortunately, no problems occurred along the way, and the oxcart arrived at the hospital entrance smoothly.
The crowd hurriedly lifted the injured man off the oxcart and rushed him into the examination room.
The elderly doctor in charge of the treatment saw how well the patient's wound had been treated and exclaimed in surprise, "My goodness, this treatment technique is truly superb! Who is so skilled?"
At this moment, Shen Xiaoxiao, who had been standing by, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that a professional doctor had taken over the treatment.
She secretly tugged at Shen Xiaochuan's sleeve, greeted the captain, and then turned and walked towards the door.
"Brother, we have to hurry! These days are not peaceful. If people find out I know about traditional Chinese medicine, we'll be in big trouble!"
As Shen Xiaoxiao spoke in a panic, she quickened her pace.
She held tightly to her brother, and the two siblings quickly left the spot like a gust of wind.
Before long, their figures completely disappeared from the captain's sight.
The captain looked in the direction the two had left, opened his mouth as if to call out to them, but in the end he could only shake his head helplessly.
He muttered to himself, "These two kids ran way too fast. I didn't even have a chance to say a word to them."
Meanwhile, the experienced doctor looked at the wound that had been treated and couldn't help but exclaim in sincere admiration, "Wow, the wound has been treated just right!"
"If conditions permit, it would be even better if stitches could be put in. I wonder if it was your team's doctor who did it? That's incredibly skillful!"
“With such a severe wound, the bleeding must be enormous. Even if it were brought here, stopping the bleeding would probably not be an easy task.”
After saying this, the old doctor paused briefly, then took out some anti-inflammatory drugs from the medicine cabinet and handed them to the patient, instructing, "Remember to take these anti-inflammatory drugs on time."
"Also, after you get your tetanus shot, you can go home and rest. If you experience any discomfort or have any questions later, you can consult the doctor in your village."
"Thank you so much, doctor! Thank you so much!" The captain was full of gratitude and quickly thanked the doctor.
The old doctor smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, no need to be so polite, it's what we should do. You can pay now."
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the medicine cabinet, skillfully took out the tetanus injection and anti-inflammatory drugs, and then returned to the bedside, quickly administering the medication to the injured person.
