"Can good looks put food on the table? That's superficial."
“I, Lu Huai’an, am not a man who is swayed by beauty. If I don’t like someone, even if she is a celestial being, I will not like her.”
After not hearing Liu Hu's voice for a while, Lu Huai'an turned his head to look.
Liu Hu nudged Lu Huai'an's arm, his voice excited.
"Commander Lu, Commander Lu, look, isn't that your sister-in-law?"
Lu Huai'an looked in the direction he was pointing.
The girl was fair-skinned and beautiful, with two braids. Her hair was a little messy, probably because she had just squeezed through the crowd, but it did not detract from her beauty. Instead, it added a touch of the charm of a beauty in troubled times.
And then there are those big, watery eyes, seemingly filled with spring water; just one glance can steal your soul.
She is both innocent and alluring.
His pupils suddenly contracted.
His gaze shifted downwards, landing on the simple luggage, and he shook his head.
"not necessarily."
The daughters of capitalists are all very particular, their hair smells sweet, and they even carry a small suitcase when they travel by train. How could she be like this?
"Really?" Liu Hu was a little skeptical.
Just now, he saw it clearly: when Lu Ying said he would not be swayed by beauty, the girl's eyes practically pierced through him.
but...
"Lu Ying, shouldn't we make a pick-up pass?"
"No need, she's still a child."
Whether it was just his imagination or not, Liu Hu felt that the girl's eyes looked even fiercer.
Before Liu Hu could say anything more, a woman holding a child, with a blue scarf wrapped around her head and a panicked expression rushed over.
Without saying a word, she knelt down.
"Soldiers, please, please save my son Shuchen! He's only seven years old! If he dies, I won't live either."
The commotion immediately attracted the attention of passersby, who gathered around and pointed at the mother and child.
"Oh dear, is this child dead? His face is all blue and purple."
"Who says otherwise? Her lips are all black. It's a pity, she's still so young."
Su Wantang had seen this mother and son when she got off the train. At that time, the little boy in the woman's arms was pale and breathing heavily, as if he was being held too tightly and couldn't breathe properly.
She kindly reminded the woman, but she didn't appreciate it and left with her child.
It's only been a short while...
Could it be that the little boy is sick?
Such symptoms...
Lu Huai'an also noticed the abnormal expression on the little boy's face in the woman's arms and made a decision immediately.
"Liu Hu, go get the car."
He then helped the woman who was kneeling on the ground to her feet.
"Auntie, let me hold the child and get in the car. I'll take you to the hospital."
After running a couple of steps, Liu Hu remembered something and ran back.
"Lu Ying, aren't you going to pick up your wife?"
Lu Huai'an's cold gaze fell on Liu Hu: "Human life is at stake. Would she, a living person, be so foolish as to lose herself?"
No, it's true.
Su Wantang stepped forward and grabbed Lu Huai'an's arm, meeting his icy gaze as if he were looking at a dead man, and her heart tightened inexplicably.
She took a deep breath and said, "If you don't want him to die, put him down immediately—"
Before Su Wantang could finish speaking, Li Juan, who was deeply concerned for her son, suddenly lunged at her, her nails almost digging into Su Wantang's wrist: "You're cursing my son?!"
The stinging pain in her wrist made Su Wantang frown slightly. She glanced at the boy's lips and saw that they had turned bluish-black. Without saying anything more, she grabbed Li Juan's wrist to relieve the pressure.
With her fingertips, accustomed to holding needles for years, she precisely struck the acupoint on the other person's chest, causing Li Juan's arm to go limp and the boy in her arms to fall to the ground.
"Asthma attack."
Su Wantang knelt down on one knee and unbuttoned the boy's collar, her voice as calm as ice, "If someone is deprived of oxygen for more than five minutes, even a celestial being couldn't save them."
Li Juan collapsed to the ground, trembling as she clutched Su Wantang's clothes, her forehead slamming heavily against the bluestone slab: "Girl...please save him! Please..."
"Hold his shoulders." Su Wantang had already taken out silver needles from her canvas bag. In the blink of an eye, three thin needles were inserted into the three acupoints of Lieque, Chize, and Fenglong. She lightly flicked the needle ends with her fingertips, causing a slight tremor.
The onlookers gasped in shock. The girl's technique was incredibly ruthless. The boy's purplish-blue complexion faded at a visible speed, and he coughed hoarsely.
"Go and wet the cloth."
Without raising her head, Su Wantang pressed another needle into the Tian Tu acupoint, saying, "If you keep the child in your arms again, even Hua Tuo himself couldn't save him."
Li Juan scrambled to do as she was told, and watched as her son's breathing gradually became smoother and his face stopped turning blue.
Suddenly remembering her earlier tearing motion, she moved to the side, her face filled with shame.
As Su Wantang finished administering the needles, she noticed her movements: "Remember, the first rule when an asthma attack occurs is ventilation, not holding her and crying."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Li Juan nodded repeatedly, then suddenly grabbed Su Wantang's hand and pressed it against her face. "You, you can hit me... I was just so anxious..."
Su Wantang withdrew her hand, shook her numb wrist, and raised an eyebrow at Lu Huai'an, who was standing there dumbfounded. "Tell everyone to stop watching and disperse the crowd. This child needs to breathe some fresh air."
Lu Huai'an had taken first aid courses in the army. Although he didn't know anything about asthma, he often heard Su Wantang talk about it. Looking at her calm face, he believed that she was really capable.
"Liu Hu," Lu Huai'an called out.
"Lu Ying, I'm going right now."
His voice wasn't loud, not as booming as Liu Hu's, but Su Wantang still frowned slightly.
Lu Huai'an had a strange feeling in his heart. It was him, not Liu Hu, who made Su Wantang frown because of his voice.
But, it seems he didn't offend her, did he?
