At this time, Lin Zhiyue, who was at the other end of the village, was immersed in a sweet dream.
Her room was as quiet as the deep seabed. The only sound was her slight and even breathing, which rose and fell rhythmically like gentle waves.
The room was simply and warmly decorated. The moonlight filtered through the cracks in the window and sprinkled onto her peaceful face, casting a soft halo around her.
Suddenly, there was a series of rapid and violent knocks on the door, like a sledgehammer, hitting the door hard, instantly breaking the silence.
Lin Zhiyue was instantly awakened from her sleep. Her body trembled violently and her eyes opened drowsily with deep sleepiness and confusion in them. She didn't react to what had happened for a while.
The knocking on the door continued to sound rapidly, each time louder than the last, seeming particularly abrupt in the terrifyingly silent night, as if it was an urgent call from fate.
Lin Zhiyue quickly sat up from the bed, as agile as a frightened deer.
She reached out and grabbed the coat beside the bed, quickly put it on, then walked quickly towards the door barefoot.
Her heart was beating rapidly in her chest, like the beat of a rapid drum, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind, wondering what the reason was for the knock on the door so late at night.
She opened the door and a cool night breeze blew in her face, blowing away some of her sleepiness.
In the faint moonlight, she saw Lin Weidong standing at the door with an anxious and panicked look on his face. His chest was heaving violently, as if he had just finished an intense long-distance run.
Lin Zhiyue couldn't help but feel nervous, and a bad feeling came over her. She asked with concern, "Grandpa, is there something wrong with you?"
Lin Weidong was panting, his throat felt like it was burned by fire, his voice became hoarse and dry from running and anxiety: "Girl, someone in our cowshed is sick with a high fever. He is confused and talking nonsense. We need a doctor to see him. I really have no other choice, so I wanted to ask you if you have any medicine?" His eyes were full of expectations for Lin Zhiyue, as if she was the star of hope that could save everything at this moment.
When Lin Zhiyue heard this, she didn't hesitate at all. Her eyes became firm and calm in an instant, and she immediately said, "Grandpa, please wait here for a moment. I'll go put on my clothes and go get the medicine with you." She turned and walked quickly into the room. Relying on her familiarity, she quickly put on her clothes in the dark.
She walked to the cabinet where she stored her medicines, gently opened the door, and quickly scanned the various bottles and jars. With her rich experience, she selected some special medicines for treating fever.
Then, she carefully put the medicine into a small cloth bag, held it tightly in her hand, and hurriedly followed Lin Weidong towards the cowshed.
In the night, the two figures appeared particularly hurried under the moonlight. Their steps were firm and powerful as they ran towards the cowshed full of anxiety and hope, as if they were running a thrilling race against time, just to snatch back that precious life from the hands of the disease.
Along the way, the wind whistled in his ears, and Lin Zhiyue's heart was beating violently with the hurried footsteps. The critical situation that the patients in the cowshed might face kept emerging in his mind.
Finally, they reached the bullpen.
The moment Lin Zhiyue stepped into the cowshed, a strong smell of medicine and a dull atmosphere hit her in the face.
Inside the cowshed, the dim light flickered in the breeze, casting shadows on everything around it.
Her eyes quickly locked onto the shabby bed, where she saw an old man lying quietly. His face was as red as a ripe tomato, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, his lips were cracked and chapped, and his body twitched slightly from time to time. It was obvious that he was being mercilessly tortured by the disease.
Lin Zhiyue walked quickly forward. Her movements were gentle and quick, and she was not disturbed by the tense atmosphere around her at all.
She slowly stretched out her right hand, placed her fingers lightly on the old man's wrist, and began to take his pulse carefully.
Her eyes were focused and deep, as if she was having a silent conversation with the old man's body through her fingertips.
After a moment, her slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and she had already made a judgment about the condition in her mind.
Lin Zhiyue quickly took out the antipyretic medicine from the cloth bag she carried with her. It was a good medicine she had carefully selected.
She gently lifted the old man's head, being very careful not to hurt the frail old man.
She gently put the antipyretic medicine into the old man's mouth, then picked up the kettle that had been prepared beside her, which was filled with water from the spiritual spring.
Lin Zhiyue firmly believes that the spiritual spring has magical effects.
She slowly tilted the kettle, allowing the spring water to flow slowly into the old man's mouth.
The water flowed into the old man's cracked lips, seeming to bring a hint of vitality and coolness.
After feeding the baby water, Lin Zhiyue did not stop what he was doing.
She reached into her bag again and pulled out a set of silver needles.
The silver needle flickered with a cold light under the dim light, but it seemed to carry the hope of life.
Lin Zhiyue took a deep breath, his eyes revealing determination and confidence.
She skillfully picked up a silver needle, gently turned it in her hand, adjusted the angle, and accurately inserted it into the old man's acupuncture point.
Then, she quickly inserted the second needle, the third needle... With each needle, her movements were as steady as a rock and precise.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Everyone in the bullpen held their breath, their eyes fixed on Lin Zhiyue's every move, afraid of missing any moment.
It was so quiet around that the only sounds could be heard were faint breathing and the slightest sound of the silver needle piercing the skin.
