Chapter 12 Embroidery to Sustain Life
"Teacher Zhao, I'm not your student, so there's no need for you to teach me how to do things!" Huo Jianguo said in a cold tone. He always had a good temper, but he would not accept such indiscriminate accusations.
Zhao Ying has always been a respected person in the military academy. She thinks she is superior to others because she is a middle school teacher and likes to preach to people.
Normally, others would listen obediently, but she didn't expect Huo Jianguo to scold her in front of so many people without showing any mercy, and her face suddenly turned red.
She was unwilling to accept the situation, so she stood up and rushed out, shouting at the people who were still guarding the yard:
"Everyone, come here and judge whether what Commander Huo did was right or wrong. He actually let Su Mei, that slutty woman, treat Li Yuan. What kind of person is Su Mei? Everyone in the military compound knows this.
What's more, they said that Su Mei's grandfather is a doctor. Isn't this a joke? Teacher Huo can't just rely on the power in his hands to condone his lover's wrongdoings, right?
Not only did he steal in the past, but now he also asked Su Mei to treat patients. I don’t know what he is doing. I told him he was not happy. ”
"What kind of drama can he have? He feels that Su Mei has brought shame to him, so he wants Su Mei to pretend to know medical skills to save his face. Li Yuan is half dead anyway, so she won't be responsible if she kills him." Cai Guihua crossed her arms, looking like she knew it all.
Cai Guihua has been waiting here since Li Yuan came back in the daytime. Others wait here out of worry, but she waits here purely to watch the excitement.
She didn't expect to see Su Mei in such a lively scene. Thinking of the hustle and bustle she suffered at the hands of Su Mei in the morning, Cai Guihua came out to add insult to injury without thinking.
But others would not take Cai Guihua's words seriously. Xie Li even glared at Cai Guihua fiercely:
"Stop your bullshit. My teacher is not the kind of person you say he is. If you dare to say that again, I will tear your mouth to pieces."
It was only then that Xie Li realized the reason why the teacher asked him to call Su Mei over.
He was also unwilling to believe that Su Mei looked like someone who could heal diseases, but this matter was arranged by the teacher, and Xie Li blindly worshipped Huo Jianguo, so he felt that Huo Jianguo must have his reasons for making such an arrangement.
In Xie Li's mind, Huo Jianguo was a great hero who was upright, brave and good at fighting. Naturally, he could not accept that Cai Guihua said such bad things about Huo Jianguo.
Cai Guihua was not afraid of being yelled at. She pouted:
"Your teacher is a good person, but who is Su Mei? How dare he let Su Mei treat his illness? Teachers are also human beings and make mistakes. They can't stop us from talking about our mistakes. Look how angry our teacher Zhao is."
Cai Guihua stood firmly on Zhao Ying's side, but Zhao Ying was so angry seeing Cai Guihua that she was about to die. She didn't want to stand in the same team with such a low-class person like Cai Guihua.
Seeing that Xie Li was about to argue with Cai Guihua, Zhao Ying immediately interrupted Xie Li:
"Okay, stop arguing about those unimportant things. The most important thing now is Li Yuan. Li Yuan's life is already hanging by a thread, and we can't let Su Mei torture him anymore. Su Mei knows nothing, and if she tortures him again, Li Yuan will die in turmoil."
After organizing his words and saying them again, Zhao Ying's words finally produced the appeal that satisfied him.
"Teacher Zhao is right. Li Yuan is pitiful enough. Before he died, he was tortured by Su Mei. Isn't it true that he died with regrets?"
"Yes, Li Yuan was in trouble while on patrol. He is a martyr. We cannot let Su Mei insult him like this."
"Don't talk nonsense, the person is not dead yet... But looking at Su Mei's condition, even a living person would be turned into a skeleton by her."
"Master Huo is always sensible. How could he make such a mistake today? Could it be that he is desperate and is trying all sorts of methods? But this method cannot be applied to Su Mei. It would be better for him to go to the logistics department and find our veterinarian."
.......
Everyone was talking at once, and everyone had the same opinion. No one could accept that Su Mei was treating Li Yuan.
Huo Jianguo frowned. He called Aunt Wang out to talk alone because he was afraid that things would turn out like this.
He couldn't help but look at Su Mei and found that she had been reaching out to check Li Yuan's body bit by bit, and she was not affected by the comments outside at all.
After examination, Su Mei confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Li Yuan's internal organs.
Although Li Yuan was in a coma, it was not a deep coma. He still felt pain. If his internal organs were seriously injured, his expression would definitely change under pressure.
"It's okay if it's dirty. The nosebleed is probably just from the nasal passages. Auntie Wang, do you have an embroidery needle at home? Give it to me."
"Embroidery needle? Yes." Although Aunt Wang didn't know what Su Mei wanted the embroidery needle for, she immediately got up to look for it.
Su Mei turned her gaze to Huo Jianguo again: "Pour me a bowl of boiling water."
Since he had chosen to let Su Mei show it to Li Yuan, Huo Jianguo would naturally listen to her instructions. He directly picked up the hot water kettle and poured a cup of hot water into the lid of the hot water kettle.
After bringing both things to Su Mei, Su Mei took out a few longer embroidery needles from the sewing box and threw them into the boiling water.
After soaking the needle in boiling water for disinfection, Su Mei asked Huo Jianguo to pour out the water.
Then Su Mei stretched out her hand and lifted Li Yuan's neck.
At this time, Huo Jianguo couldn't help but ask: "Are you going to give him acupuncture?"
"Yes." Su Mei nodded.
The other two women in the room and Aunt Wang looked at Su Mei in shock when they heard this.
Acupuncture is a more traditional medical technique. Everyone knows that acupuncture requires special needles, but no one has ever seen someone using embroidery needles for acupuncture.
"Will this work?" The woman who was holding Li Yuan's head looked at Su Mei hesitantly.
The reason why the two women in the room had not left yet was because one of them was holding her head and the other was wiping herself with water to cool down, so they could not leave.
Su Mei did not answer. She pressed Li Yuan's neck, picked up the upper part of the embroidery needle, and inserted it into an acupuncture point at the throat.
"Hold the needle." Su Mei glanced at the woman who was holding Li Yuan's head.
The woman was stunned for a moment: "Ah?"
"Hold it, the embroidery needle is too short and it may easily get stuck into the flesh." Su Mei looked at the woman very calmly.
The woman opposite didn't know why, but she always felt that Su Mei was very majestic at this moment, so she obediently held the needle.
Afterwards, Su Mei pulled open the quilt that was half covering Li Yuan and gave him a shot in the heart.
The stitches were so painful that Aunt Wang felt pain in her heart, but Su Mei looked at her as if she saw nothing.
"Auntie Wang, you come and grab this one."
Su Mei stabbed the last three needles into Li Yuan's forehead.
Seeing this, Huo Jianguo took the initiative to say: "I'll catch these!"
"Don't grab these. The skull is hard and the needles won't move in the short term." Su Mei shook her head at Huo Jianguo, then said to Aunt Wang:
"Auntie Wang, remember, every needle in Li Yuan's body is keeping him alive. Now Huo Jianguo and I are going to the team's medical room to find medicines and instruments for emergency treatment.
Before I come back, you can’t let anyone touch Li Yuan, or he will die.”
Perhaps it was Su Mei's affirmative tone that gave Aunt Wang strength. She nodded very firmly:
"Su Mei, just go ahead. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of him."
"Okay." Su Mei stood up and called Huo Jianguo, "Take me to the clinic at the base."
"Okay." Huo Jianguo nodded. He really didn't trust Su Mei, but he should trust people he employs. Since he had chosen to employ Su Mei, he would stand firmly on Su Mei's side and obey her orders.
He thought that if he made a wrong judgment this time and trusted the wrong person, he was willing to bear all the consequences together with Su Mei.
The two stood up and were about to go outside when the curtain was pulled open from the outside. Zhao Ying stood at the door like a victorious rooster. She said in a loud voice:
"Teacher Huo, we have just held a collective vote and have decided not to accept Su Mei's treatment of Li Yuan. You should quickly ask Su Mei to come out and stop doing those harmful things."
