The group quickly dug away the thin layer of soil and rescued the fourth child.
Fortunately, Siwa was lying on his side in the pit, covering his head. He must have fallen when someone pushed him from above. He instinctively protected his head, which gave him some breathing space. In his panic, the murderer could only throw some soil down from the side, covering him with a thin layer, not burying him completely.
Xiao Youran checked his mouth and nose and found that they were not blocked by soil. After confirming that he was only temporarily lacking oxygen, she laid him flat on the ground and began CPR.
The guards and Steward Zhang were all stunned. What kind of operation was it to press on the chest and blow air into the mouth of a dead child?
If it weren't for the fact that this little You Ran was practically their master, had the reputation of being a little miracle doctor, and was only five years old, they would almost have thought she was desecrating... cough cough... a corpse.
However, Xiao Youran calmly glanced at them a few times, then began to explain while performing chest compressions, "Pay attention to the rhythm of your compressions, it should match the rhythm of a person's breathing... Then blow air in, to blow oxygen into his lungs... Compressions and breaths in, this is to help him breathe with external force... This method can save people who have just suffocated and lost their heart and lung function within the golden hour... That's why it's called cardiopulmonary resuscitation..."
A moment later, Siwa suddenly coughed twice and woke up.
The group was startled and retreated hastily, shocked on one hand by the fact that the dead could be brought back to life, and on the other hand by the fact that Xiao Youran was simply telling them, outsiders, about this kind of resurrection technique.
Xiao Youran wiped the sweat from her forehead before glancing at them again. "Remember this method. Who knows, one day you might be able to save a life."
Steward Zhang tugged at the servants on either side in shock, and they both nodded, "We've got it!"
At this moment, a guard dressed as a servant turned Li Cuier, who was nearby, around.
Li Cuier was clearly surprised to see the stones on the ground and Siwa. "What... happened to them?"
"Li Cuier, I still have a question for you. Why did you hurt them?" Xiao Youran asked angrily.
Li Cuier was both bewildered and surprised. "Why do you say I harmed them? I just brought them here to play hide-and-seek! But while we were playing, Siwa disappeared..."
Why did you decide to bring them here?
"Well...it's just these past few days...I saw a lot of pits dug on the mountain, and I got curious...I thought it would be fun..." Li Cuier stammered, her words vague.
Seeing that they couldn't get any information out of them, and looking at the weak Stone and Fourth Child, everyone felt that saving lives was the priority, so they decided to send the two children home first.
Li Cuier was taken to the clan chief's house by Shi Tou and Si Wa's parents. Cuier's parents were also summoned. Li Cuier still insisted that she knew nothing and only invited them to play because she thought it was fun.
Back home, Xiao Youran felt increasingly uneasy. She told all the elders in her family about it, and the old lady Yun and Zhou Shi couldn't understand what kind of person would want to harm the two little children, Shitou and Siwa.
However, a few days later, rumors spread that Sanyang Mountain in Sanyang Village was ominous and that several people had died there, including two children.
When Yu returned from the cloth shop in the county town, she said angrily that several people had come to ask her why Sanyang Mountain, which was so ominous, should be sold. Besides, the Yun family now had a cloth shop and stores in the county town, so why not just sell the mountain and buy a house in the county town so that the whole family could move there?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Youran realized that this was the real reason why the mastermind wanted to harm Stone and Fourth Child.
So the question is, why would the mastermind behind this buy this mountain?
These three mountains had been in the hands of the Yun family patriarch for decades without anyone showing interest. It makes no sense that once they came into Yun Tiankuang's hands, and he was just planting fruit trees, someone would risk their life to fill the mountains and buy them.
Could there be some treasure on this mountain that she doesn't know about?
Xiao Youran immediately remembered the cave where they had discovered the aquatic giant fish and the thousand-year-old bat.
The thought of this excited her, and she pulled her brother, who was learning to give Xiuer's father acupuncture, to run outside.
These past few days, whenever they had free time, they would come to Doctor Gu's place to learn acupuncture. Fortunately, there was Xiuer's father, a person in a vegetative state, who could be used as a living specimen for acupuncture.
Even if the wrong needle is inserted, it doesn't matter, since he won't feel anything anyway.
Jiang Youchen stumbled as he pulled her, "Where are you going, little sister?"
"Let's go treasure hunting!" Xiao You Ran answered loudly.
Doctor Gu followed behind, his beard bristling and eyes wide, his voice fading into the distance, "You two little brats! This set of acupuncture techniques for removing dampness and detoxifying isn't finished yet!"
Yang, who was feeding her baby goat milk next door, heard this and looked completely bewildered. Was the acupuncture they were giving her husband supposed to detoxify and remove dampness? Wasn't it supposed to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and clear blood clots from the brain?
Xiao Youran dragged her brother around the cave, searching again and again, and discovered that this Doctor Gu was truly amazing.
The so-called "thousand-year-old eye-brightening sand" should have been piled up tightly in the corner of the wall, but now it has been completely wiped away.
Not a single piece of shit was left behind.
One of the main reasons she brought the abducted girls to the manor to help make medicine was that once, when Doctor Gu asked the brother and sister to help make pills, she stared at the basin of unidentified substance with great vigilance and asked, "What is this?"
Without much thought, Doctor Gu answered truthfully that it was the Thousand-Year Eye-Brightening Sand.
In his view, if doctors can use human placenta extract without hesitation, what is this thousand-year-old dried bat droppings?
Xiao Youran almost vomited and immediately ran away.
At this moment, the black soil that should have been inside the cave was revealed on the ground in front of her.
It was this black soil that made Xiao Youran feel that something was very unusual.
She then found some tools, dug up a clump of black soil, studied it for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion.
This is coal gangue!
During the more than a thousand years she wandered, she naturally saw the raw stones mined from coal mines of all sizes, and she also witnessed many accidents that occurred during coal mining.
My goodness, this is terrible!
This is actually coal gangue!
I was reborn and somehow became a coal mine owner?
Coal mine owners!
Oh dear!
Honestly, this nouveau riche vibe is so mismatched with her fresh, cute, and clever image as Fu Bao.
She covered her face in excitement.
This is ancient times when resources were extremely scarce, not the post-coal era after oil replaced them!
However... this mining process is quite complex, and I wonder if people in this era have mastered it?
Jiang Youchen knew that his sister had discovered some treasure again, but what kind of treasure could these black stones be?
"Little sister, what is this...?"
Xiao Youran put down her hand and suddenly realized that her ten fingers were black, and her face was no better. She immediately smeared her ten fingers all over her brother's face as well. "Hahaha—this is coal! Oh, it's also called coal!"
Jiang Youchen: !!!
