There is still a pulse, but the breathing is very weak. Has he been unconscious outside for a day and a night?
Without daring to delay, Li Mai shouted to Zhou Zhang, "Go and ask Xiao Tao for a bowl of water."
After saying that, she began to perform first aid on Sanmao.
Zhou Quan was also helped over anxiously and squatted down beside her to watch over her.
People silently gathered around, watching Li Mai press hard on the child's stomach.
Won't pressing it like this damage it?
"I don't know. See? Don't say anything. I thought he was dead anyway."
The two people next to him whispered, but they kept their voices very low for fear of being overheard by Li Mai.
Li Mai ignored them and focused on first aid. The child must have choked on water and then hit his head to lose consciousness. His body temperature was extremely low, so acupuncture was not an option. They could only help expel the water that had entered his lungs.
"Sanmao, is that Sanmao?" Suddenly, a person ran down the mountain, crying and shouting as he ran.
Everyone turned to look, and it was Zhou Ermao.
The person who had just been with Sanmao frowned and glanced at Zhou Ermao who had run over, saying, "Step back, someone is rescuing this child now."
"She's not a doctor, how could she save my brother? She's Zhou Quan's wife, she wouldn't save my brother." Zhou Ermao rambled incoherently, trying to rush forward and push Li Mai away so she wouldn't touch his brother.
"Get out of here! If you had listened to the villagers, this child wouldn't have to suffer like this." Annoyed by the noise, Li Mai turned around and cursed coldly before turning back to continue the first aid.
"Zhou Ermao, step back. My wife knows medicine. She's been giving me acupuncture in my leg. Saving lives is the priority," Zhou Quan said coldly to Zhou Ermao.
"So she cured you? Aren't you still a paralyzed person?" Zhou Ermao hadn't seen Zhou Quan since he was rescued yesterday; he just kept crying about his parents, his younger brother, and his grandfather.
Today, Zhou Quan was carried away by people when he left. There was still that chair behind him. He thought Zhou Quan was still paralyzed. He had no idea that Zhou Quan had stood up and could even walk for a while. However, he still couldn't walk very far. He would get weak in the legs and fall.
"Shut up!" The clan chief finally caught up with them and overheard Zhou Ermao's words, angrily cursing.
On Tuesday, Mao was scolded by the clan chief and dared not utter a sound. He just stared intently at Li Mai's hand as she saved his brother, his eyes red.
Won't such a small child get hurt if she presses on his stomach so hard?
"Pfft, cough cough, cough cough cough!" Suddenly, the child moved, and with a "pfft," a stream of yellowish-red sewage gushed out of his mouth and nose.
"He's alive! He's alive!" someone shouted excitedly.
After seeing that the child still seemed unconscious after spitting out a stream of fluid, Li Mai pressed on the wound a few more times to help expel some more sewage. Then, Li Mai stopped and went to take the child's pulse.
Sanmao slowly opened his eyes, looked around wearily, and when he saw his second brother, he burst into tears.
"Second brother, it's so scary!" Sanmao cried.
He slept in the same room as his grandfather. He didn't know why when the flood came and rushed towards him and his grandfather, his father didn't even see him. He was only focused on helping his second brother and sister up to the tree, without even looking back at him.
"Sister-in-law, the water is here!" At this moment, Zhou Zhang brought over a bowl of water.
Li Mai took the handkerchief and had Zhou Ermao help Sanmao up. She first took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, poured some water on it, wiped his face, and then helped him clean his mouth and nose. Sanmao's face was immediately cleaner.
“Give him the remaining water slowly, a little at a time,” Li Mai said to Zhou Ermao.
Zhou Ermao's eyes were still a little red. He took the bowl from Zhou Zhang and fed Sanmao some food.
Sanmao still seemed very scared, clinging tightly to Zhou Ermao's sleeve.
After drinking water, his face gradually became less pale and regained some color.
Li Mai took his pulse again. "Alright, he's fine now. Give him all the water. He can only drink some porridge today; he can't eat anything else."
After saying that, she quietly stuffed the silver needle pouch back into her sleeve pocket and sent it into her spatial storage.
I originally thought I would need to puncture the philtrum to save the child, but the child woke up after the sewage was drained. It was truly a blessing from heaven.
To have such good fortune after a day and a night, this child is lucky. So, she gave him half a bowl of spiritual spring water. The first time one drinks spiritual spring water, the effect on the body is the greatest.
Seeing that Sanmao's condition was getting better and better, Limai knew that the diluted spiritual spring water still had a good healing ability.
"Alright, carry your brother back now. Make sure he stays warm these next few days, or he'll easily get sick." Li Mai stood up and was about to throw away the handkerchief in her hand.
As a result, Zhou Quan quickly took it and whispered, "Don't throw it away, I'll wash it for you in a bit."
Li Mai glanced at him, smiled, and handed it to him.
This guy is getting more and more interesting.
Meeting her smile, Zhou Quan's ears turned slightly red and he coughed lightly. "Let's go back first?"
Li Mai nodded and said, "You can help me!"
Zhou Quan nodded, put his hand on her shoulder, and the two slowly climbed up the hillside.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Tao and Zhou Zhang quickly picked up their chairs and followed them.
Old Man Zhou glanced at his son and daughter-in-law, smiled, and then, meeting the gazes of the clan chief and several other villagers who were also looking over, said, "Let's go, let's go back and discuss things. The deceased needs to be buried, and we also need to discuss going to town to find the town magistrate."
Everyone nodded and slowly began to climb the slope of the North Mountain.
Zhou Ermao hugged his younger brother while staring blankly at Li Mai and Zhou Quan's figures slowly disappearing into the distance. It turned out that Zhou Quan, the paralyzed man, could really walk.
Is his wife really that amazing?
The man who had carried his brother on his back patted him on the shoulder and left.
"Uncle, thank you!" Zhou Ermao quickly said thank you after hearing that he had helped carry his younger brother back.
The man turned around, looked at him with a complicated expression, and said calmly, "In terms of seniority, you should call me brother!"
Although they were all from the same village and clan, and although they didn't usually interact, Zhou Ermao was a local troublemaker, so he had met him before and knew their generational relationship, but he just didn't recognize that this child was his younger brother.
When we saw that the child was still breathing, everyone was thinking about how to save him first. Who cared whose child it was?
Zhou Quan felt happy walking with Li Mai like this, so every now and then he would turn his head to look at Li Mai.
This caused the two people behind to exchange glances from time to time, secretly laughing at Quan Ge's somewhat silly appearance.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. If they could marry such a capable and amazing wife, they would probably be just as obsessed as Brother Quan, right?
Li Mai turned to look at Zhou Quan. "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me? Are you tired? Take a break."
"It's alright, I feel more energetic today than yesterday. I walked for quite a long time outside the village just now," Zhou Quan said softly.
"Yes, that's right. You feel more energetic as you walk. You need to rest when you're tired. You can't push yourself too hard. Your body hasn't recovered to a normal healthy state yet."
