Ruan Xi took Ruan Jie to the pool, squeezed into the crowd of people watching the excitement, and saw two men in their twenties or thirties picking things up in the pool. Not knowing what was going on, she turned around and asked the person next to her: "What's going on?" The person next to her
whispered: "A child fell into the pool."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the pool picked up a little girl, and the person next to him immediately shouted: "We found her, we found her."
Ruan Xi looked into the pool and saw that the little girl the man was holding was soaking wet, dripping with water, and her whole body was limp. Before the man walked ashore, the mother of the little girl came running over, crying and shouting, "Little Yanzi!"
The man carried the little girl to the shore and sniffed her breath, gasping, "She's dead."
This made everyone around him feel cold, as if they had fallen into an ice hole.
Ruan Xi subconsciously tightened her grip on Ruan Jie's wrist, and her nerves and breathing were tense all of a sudden.
The mother of the little girl collapsed instantly, crying loudly.
Someone nearby suggested, "Hurry up and control the water in your stomach, maybe you can still be saved."
This was a crude method, and the man who was taking people away hurriedly hung the little girl upside down on his back and ran with her on his back.
Ruan Xi watched the man running with the little girl on his back, and suddenly remembered something.
She took the basket off her arm and stuffed it into Ruan Jie's hand, then turned and rushed out.
When Ruan Jie reacted, Ruan Xi had already run far away, so she shouted to Ruan Xi's back: "Sister, where are you going?"
Ruan Xi heard it but did not stop to answer. This place was very close to Ling Yao's hanging house, so she ran to Ling Yao's house as fast as she could. When she got there, she happened to see Zhou Xueyun who had just returned home from work, and put down the sickle in her hand and the straw hat on her head in front of the door of the hanging house.
Ruan Xi ran up the stairs of the hanging building, grabbed Zhou Xueyun's wrist without saying a word, and pulled her down while saying urgently: "Auntie, I need your help, it's too late, come with me."
Zhou Xueyun was dragged away by her in a daze.
To be precise, she ran desperately.
When she ran to the pool, she realized that Ruan Xi was pulling her to save people.
Ruan Xi ran so hard that she couldn't catch her breath. Without a moment's hesitation, she ran directly to the man who was holding the little girl to control the water and said to him: "Put her down quickly, you are useless."
As she said that, she directly took the little girl down and let the little girl lie flat on the ground.
Zhou Xueyun didn't hold her back. She knew what she meant. She quickly bent her legs and knelt down beside the little girl, found the position of her chest, and used professional gestures and postures to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the little girl.
The mother of the little girl rushed over and yelled, "What are you doing?!"
Ruan Xi reached out and hugged her, panting, "Auntie, you are saving her."
No one had seen such a way of saving a child. Instead of pressing the stomach to squeeze out the water, they pressed the chest. Would it work?
The people around did not dare to interfere and only asked, "Is this okay?"
As soon as she asked, Zhou Xueyun pinched the little girl's chin and blew air into her mouth.
Ruan Xi hugged the little girl's mother and said, "If this method doesn't work, the method just now will be even worse. The baby fainted because the water got into the lungs, not into the stomach. What's the point of getting the water out of the stomach? Besides, the water in the stomach has already been squeezed out!"
She didn't know how to do CPR herself, otherwise she would have done it herself.
She remembered that Ling Yao had told her before that his mother was a doctor in the hospital. It happened that the hanging building was close, and if the rescue was carried out within the effective time, there was a great chance that the little girl could be saved.
The others didn't say anything because Ruan Xi spoke in a somewhat logical way.
After all, the water in the stomach had indeed been controlled out, and the child still didn't wake up, so they could only try other methods.
It's better to have a solution than to have no solution.
So the onlookers said, "Yanzi's mother, let her try. The water in little Yanzi's stomach has been completely controlled out, but she still hasn't woken up. There is no other way if you don't try. Stop making trouble..."
Yanzi's mother was emotionally broken and a little irrational, but she could still understand what people were saying.
She didn't try to push up, but grabbed Ruan Xi's arm and cried, "Little Yan, why are you so disobedient!"
Ruan Xi's heart almost jumped out of her throat, and she was very nervous.
She supported Yan's mother with great effort, and watched Zhou Xueyun kneeling on the ground with the people around her to give the little girl CPR and artificial respiration. She did the two in turn, almost without a break, and sweat slowly seeped out of her head. She
did it for a long time, but Little Yan lay on the ground still motionless.
Ruan Xi was nervous, and even subconsciously suppressed her breathing.
Time was too long, and some people thought that this little Yanzi could not be saved, and whispered: "I'm afraid she can't be saved."
Zhou Xueyun's sweat beads fell from her head like beans, and she didn't give up because of such words. She continued to press Xiao Yanzi's heart and lungs, and then pinched her nose and blew air into her mouth.
She insisted on not giving up, and the people around her stopped saying sad words, and they all frowned and looked heavy and didn't say anything.
Because the rescue took too long, even Yanzi's mother gave up. She let go of Ruan Xi's arm and sat on the ground with a limp body. She pounded the ground and cried: "Little Yanzi, you are trying to kill me! You are trying to kill me!!"
Time passed little by little, and the onlookers began to shake their heads one by one.
The only one who did not waver from beginning to end was Zhou Xueyun, who still did not stop the action of saving people.
Not only was her forehead covered with sweat, but even the back of her clothes was soaked with sweat.
Ruan Xi silently estimated in her heart that she had been doing it for more than ten minutes.
Her eyes could not help but slowly darken, as if someone had taken a breath away.
Then, just when she thought that the little girl was beyond saving, she suddenly heard a "wow", and the little girl cried under Zhou Xueyun's palm. The sound was rapid and loud, and it startled the onlookers so much that their breathing and heartbeats paused.
In that instant, Ruan Xi not only heard herself breathe a sigh of relief, but also heard everyone else who was watching breathe a sigh of relief. When she came to her senses a little more, she raised her hand and touched it, and found that her tears were flowing.
There were more than one person beside her who was shedding tears unconsciously.
When Yanzi's mother heard the sound, she rolled and crawled to the side of little Yanzi, picked her up and cried: "You want to scare me to death, you want to scare me to death!"
Everyone present was happy, except Zhou Xueyun, who had used up all her strength. After she breathed a sigh of relief, she looked weak and tired. She didn't say anything, but stood up with her hands on the ground, brushed off the mud on her pants, and prepared to go home.
But before she could leave, Yanzi Ma suddenly appeared in front of her.
Yanzi's mother rushed over and knelt down in front of Zhou Xueyun, then kowtowed to her desperately, saying while kowtowing: "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for saving my little Yanzi, thank you! Thank you!"
Zhou Xueyun looked panicked, and hurriedly reached out to pull her, "Don't do this, don't do this!"
The onlookers went up to help pull up Yanzi's mother, and Zhou Xueyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Xueyun was very uncomfortable, looking at Yanzi's mother and said softly: "Don't be fierce to the child, go back and take good care of yourself."
After that, she stopped standing, turned around, pushed away the onlookers, lowered her head and hurried home.
Ruan Xi chased after her, ran up to her, looked at her and said, "Thank you."
Zhou Xueyun smiled at her and went straight to the hanging building without saying anything.
Ruan Xi stood there and watched her slowly walk away. After a moment, she turned back to the pool. Yanzi's mother had already taken Xiao Yanzi home. The others also dispersed at once, and someone came up to praise Ruan Xi.
Others were also talking, talking about the dangerous moment just now, and were glad that Xiao Yanzi was saved.
Ruan Xi took the bamboo basket of rice ears from Ruan Jie, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, she was saved."
Ruan Jie looked at her curiously, "How did you know that Ling Yao's mother would save people?"
As she spoke, she thought of the answer, "Oh, it must be Ling Yao who said that."
Ruan Xi smiled at her and slung the bamboo basket over her arm, "Let's go home to feed the pigs and eat."
The two sisters relaxed again and went home with the baskets on their shoulders.
After returning home, they fed the pigs and cooked with Liu Xinghua. Ruan Jie told Liu Xinghua about the thrilling and dangerous incident that she and Ruan Xi had just encountered. Liu Xinghua's eyes widened, and she held her breath and her heart was in a knot.
When she heard Xiao Yanzi cry out "Wow", she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
After listening, she said, "So this child can't go to the water to play."
Ruan Jie replied, "She should remember this lesson."
Liu Xinghua breathed a sigh of relief again and said, "I didn't expect that Zhou Xueyun has this skill. Then she should be a doctor in the city, right? She has been here for so many years, and I haven't seen her interacting with people."
Ruan Xi nodded and said, "She is a doctor."
While the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were talking, Ruan Changgui, Ruan Changsheng and Ruan Cuizhi came back together while they were cooking.
As soon as they got home, Ruan Zhigao said, "Have you heard? A child almost drowned in the pool."
Ruan Jie said with a smoldering fire, "It's not hearsay, we saw it with our own eyes."
Ruan Changsheng went into the house to get some water to drink, "Really? I heard that Ling Yao's mother was rescued. She saved her for most of the day, right?"
Ruan Jie nodded and said, "Yes, she kept pressing Xiao Yanzi's chest and blowing air into her mouth. Everyone around said that there was no hope, but she didn't stop. She kept pressing until her head and body were covered in sweat, and her clothes were wet."
Ruan Cuizhi and Ruan Zhigao also sat down to drink water.
Ruan Zhigao took a sip of water and said, "This is a good deed, it's considered meritorious service, and it's rewarded."
Ruan Jie: "Then write it down, since you're the brigade secretary."
Ruan Xi added, "There are also people who go into the water to rescue people."
Ruan Zhigao nodded, "We also need to ask the adults in each family to take good care of their children, and not let them go to the water to play. Especially when planting rice, there is water everywhere, and the water in the pond is even deeper, so there are more than one or two children who have drowned."
The family sat in the house and talked about this good deed. Ruan Zhigao planned to hold a commendation meeting in the village after the busy farming season. As he was talking, he suddenly heard a thunderous roar from outside: "Ruan Changgui! Sun Xiaohui! Get out!"
Not knowing what was going on, Ruan Zhigao hurriedly got up and led the way out.
Liu Xinghua, Ruan Cuizhi, Ruan Changsheng and Ruan Xi were also curious and followed him out of the house. Ruan Jie put a few more firewood under the stove and ran over to follow him out, all wanting to see what was going on.
Ruan Changgui and Sun Xiaohui also came out, and the couple were both confused.
People in the same village know each other more or less, the only difference is whether they are familiar or not.
Sun Xiaohui and Ruan Changgui were just talking about Xiao Yanzi almost drowning in the stove room. When they came out and saw Yanzi's father and mother looking ferocious, they didn't know what was going on, so they just asked, "What's wrong?"
Yanzi's mother pinched her waist, her tone fierce and heavy: "You ask me what's wrong? Ask your Ruan Yuehua!"
Ask Ruan Yuehua?
Sun Xiaohui said, "My Yuehua hasn't come back yet."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Yuejin's voice came from the main room, "She came back a long time ago and is hiding under the bed."
Hiding under the bed?
Sun Xiaohui realized that something was wrong and turned to look at Ruan Changgui.
Yanzi's father had already spoken, "My little Yanzi said that it was your Ruan Yuehua who pushed her into the pool! What is he thinking? He wants to kill my little Yanzi! If little Yanzi dies today, I want him to pay for his life!"
Hearing these words, Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua frowned and kept silent. Ruan Cuizhi, Ruan Changsheng, Ruan Xi, and Ruan Jie, as the younger generation, naturally kept silent, and they didn't want to meddle in Ruan Changgui's family affairs.
Sun Xiaohui opened her mouth, but did not pull out Ruan Yuehua to teach him a lesson. Instead, she said to Yanzi's father: "What do you mean it was our Yuehua who pushed him? Who saw it? You said it was him? My Yuehua did not go out today!"
Yanzi's mother gritted her teeth in anger and stared at Sun Xiaohui: "Sun Xiaohui, do you have any shame? My little Yanzi said it was Ruan Yuehua who pushed him. Let's find a few other people to play with us. "I asked the kids and they said yes!"
Sun Xiaohui refused to admit it: "Who knows if these kids are telling the truth? Don't I know what my kids are like? My Yuehua is the most obedient and sensible child. It's impossible for him to do such a thing as you said!"
Yanzi's mother was so angry that she pointed at Sun Xiaohui and said, "Call Ruan Yuehua out!"
Sun Xiaohui looked guilty and didn't dare to call. Ruan
Changgui didn't seem guilty. He turned around and went into the house, took Ruan Yuehua out from under the bed, took him out and stood outside the door, then looked at him and asked, "Tell me, did you push Xiao Yanzi?"
Ruan Yuehua looked frightened and mumbled, but after a moment he straightened his chest and said loudly: "I didn't do it! It wasn't me! They wronged me! It was obviously Xiao Yanzi who slipped and fell down!"
Yanzi's father was so angry at this family that he gritted his teeth, "Your mother said you didn't go out today, and you said it was our Yanzi who fell down. Is there a word of truth in your mouths? You don't want to admit it, right? You don't admit it?"
Ruan Yuehua still straightened his chest and shouted: "I didn't push, that means I didn't do it. Push!"
Sun Xiaohui was confident now, she looked at Yanzi's father and said: "You heard it, we Yuehua didn't push your Yanzi, don't accuse a good person here. Since little Yanzi is fine, can't she just be quiet?"
Yanzi's father was obviously very angry, and he looked like he was about to lose his mind. He gritted his teeth and muttered: "Quiet... Quiet, right? I told you to be quiet..."
He muttered to the wall, picked up a hoe, turned around and went into the house.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ruan Changgui went over and stopped him, frowning and asking, "What are you going to do?"
Yanzi's father was taller and stronger than Ruan Changgui. He pushed him away and went straight into the house with a hoe. He smashed everything he saw in the stove room, and kept muttering fiercely, "Shut up! I tell you to shut up!"
Ruan Changgui didn't dare to stop it alone, so he turned around and shouted at Ruan Zhigao, "Dad, don't you want to do anything?"
Ruan Zhigao turned around and went into the house, saying, "I don't care about your family's affairs."
Ruan Changgui then called Ruan Changsheng, who was good at fighting, "Little Five!"
Ruan Changsheng snorted coldly, gave him a cold look, and followed Ruan Zhigao into the house.
When he needs people, they are his father
and brother. When he doesn't need them, they are outsiders and stinky dog shit. He wants to trample them into the rotten mud and compare them to toilets, which are worse than those outsiders who watch the excitement! Why is he calling him dad and brother now? Isn't he afraid that they will splash dirt on his family of four?
Yanzi's father acted quickly. He went into the stove room, smashed a few bowls, poked the bottom of Ruan Changgui's pot, and came out.
He didn't intend to use force when he came, so he didn't even have a beater in his hand. He just came to Ruan Changgui and Sun Xiaohui to ask for an explanation. Their little Yanzi should not suffer in vain and go through the gates of hell in vain.
But who could have expected that Ruan Changgui's family would be so shameless.
Since they are shameless, there is no need to show them mercy.
After smashing the pots and bowls to vent his anger, Yanzi's father threw away the hoe and walked out of the house. He looked at Ruan Changgui and said, "Take good care of your Ruan Yuehua. I didn't touch him today, but if he does it again, I will make him pay for it!"
After that, he took Yanzi's mother away with a gloomy face, leaving Ruan Changgui's house in a mess.
Five minutes later, Ruan Changgui's granddaughter Xiaohui sat at the table in the main room, her face uglier than the other.
Ruan Yuejin and Ruan Yuehua sat on the bed in the room.
Sun Xiaohui couldn't hold back her anger and scolded Ruan Yuejin: "Your brother is hiding under the bed, so let him hide. Why did you tell him? Now the pot is smashed, the bowl is gone, and there is no food to eat!"
Ruan Changgui was more normal. He stared at Ruan Yuehua in the room and asked: "Did you push him?"
Ruan Yuehua sat on the bed and swung his legs, and now he was silent again.
Ruan Changgui understood it at a glance, stood up with a dark face, went into the room and slapped him in the face. The slap was so heavy that half of Ruan Yuehua's face turned red in an instant. Ruan Yuehua covered his face and cried like a pig being slaughtered.
Sun Xiaohui went over and hugged Ruan Yuehua with a distressed look on her face, and said to Ruan Changgui, "What are you doing? He said he didn't push it."
Ruan Changgui was furious, "You are protecting him like this, and you will hurt him sooner or later!"
Sun Xiaohui said, "Why did I protect him? He didn't push it, so he didn't push it."
Ruan Changgui couldn't argue with Sun Xiaohui, and went out to sit down at the table again, and was angry at the pickled cabbage on the table.
The pot and bowl were gone, and there happened to be no steamed buns at home, so they had to starve!
In the next room, Ruan Zhigao's family acted as if nothing had happened, and sat down to eat their own meals.
They didn't care or ask whether Ruan Changgui's family had food to eat.
After the family finished dinner, Liu Xinghua and Ruan Cuizhi were watching Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie washing the pots and bowls in the house. Ruan Yuehua ran over with a half red face and asked: "Grandma, is there any more food?"
Liu Xinghua didn't even look at him: "Just eat, I guarantee you'll be full!"
Ruan Yuehua: "..."
When Zhou Xueyun returned home after saving the man, Ling Yao was already cooking dinner.
His house was still as quiet as usual. After dinner, the whole family was in the house. Ling Yao lit the lamp and read a book. Zhou Xueyun sat next to him doing needlework and mending clothes and socks, and Ling Zhiyuan was repairing tools and sharpening knives.
Ling Zhiyuan and Ling Yao didn't know that Zhou Xueyun had saved someone, and Zhou Xueyun herself didn't mention it, so no one said it. She
went to bed as usual at night, and got up the next day when she heard the roosters crow. After breakfast, she went out to work.
Zhou Xueyun didn't take yesterday's incident to heart, but when she took the sickle to the field, she found that people looked at her differently. Many people greeted her warmly and called her "Sister Zhou" and "Sister Zhou" affectionately.
Zhou Xueyun was a little uncomfortable with it, but she still responded with a polite smile.
When she bent down with a sickle to cut rice, someone asked her in a very unfriendly way: "Sister Zhou, when you were in the city, you were a doctor, right?"
Zhou Xueyun bent down and continued to cut rice, and replied politely: "Yes."
Someone else asked: "Why don't you say anything?"
Zhou Xueyun said in a gentle voice: "There is nothing worth talking about."
Things in the city are things in the city. Since she came here from the countryside, she has nothing to do with everything in the city. Because she was very cautious and always on guard against people, she had no intention of integrating into this village, so naturally she didn't say anything.
But this time, her rescue broke her suppressed and peaceful life that she had maintained for four years.
In addition to the many people who greeted her warmly during the day with expressions full of respect, she returned home at night wearing a straw hat and holding a sickle. Just as she put down the hat and sickle and washed her hands and face, she heard someone outside the stilt house calling her: "Sister Zhou, are you home?"
Ling Yao was lighting a fire behind the stove and did not look out.
Zhou Xueyun turned around and saw that it was the mother of the little girl she saved yesterday.
In one hand, Yanzi's mother was holding a rooster that had been plucked and boiled in hot water. In the other hand, she was holding a small bamboo basket the size of a watermelon. In the bamboo basket, there were some clean eggs that were not stained with dirt.
When she saw Zhou Xueyun, she went up the stairs and said to her, "Sister Zhou, there are not many things in the countryside, so there is nothing to thank you for. I slaughtered a rooster for you, and there are also some eggs. You can keep them and eat them."
Zhou Xueyun had never seen such a thing before, so she waved her hand and said no.
Yanzi's mother forced the things into her hands and continued, "You saved our Yanzi's life yesterday. We have nothing to repay you. Just accept these little things. Don't be disgusted."
Zhou Xueyun dared not to be disgusted. She just felt that what she had done was not worth so many things from her. She had lived in the countryside for several years and she naturally knew what this chicken and these eggs meant to the rural people.
So she still said: "It's just a piece of cake, it's really not necessary, take it back and feed it to the child."
Yanzi's mother stood in front of her and said, "Sister Zhou, you saved our Yanzi's life. If you don't take it, our family really can't eat or sleep. The chicken has been killed, you can just cook it and eat it, so that we can feel at ease."
Zhou Xueyun looked at Yanzi's mother, struggled for a moment, and compromised: "Then how about this Well, I'll take this chicken, but you can take the eggs back, okay? "
It's fine if you're willing to take a chicken, Yanzi's mother smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Sister Zhou."
Zhou Xueyun also smiled sincerely, "How about you stay and eat together?"
Yanzi's mother turned around and left with the basket, "That won't work, everyone at home is waiting for me to go back."
After saying that, she went down the wooden stairs and ran away, her steps were very brisk.
Zhou Xueyun watched her walk away, couldn't help but smile, and took the chicken back to the house.
Ling Yao looked at the chicken in her hand and asked curiously, "Why did you send us a chicken?"
Zhou Xueyun put the chicken on the chopping board, put on an apron, and replied, "Mom did a good thing."
When she picked up the knife to chop the chicken, she suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Ling Yao and said, "Yaoyao, go call Xixi over and ask her to come to our house for dinner tonight."
Ling Yao didn't react, "Which Xixi?"
Zhou Xueyun asked back, "What do you think?"
Ling Yao reacted, and his meal was almost cooked. He
put the last handful of firewood at the bottom of the stove, and when he got up, he said, "Then I'll go." He
turned around and disappeared.
He ran all the way to Ruan's house, found Ruan Xi and said to her, "My mother asked you to come to my house for dinner today."
Ruan Xi was a little surprised: "Call me?" Zhou Xueyun?
Ling Yao nodded, "Yeah."
Ruan Xi laughed, "Is there anything delicious?"
Ling Yao nodded at her again, "Someone sent a rooster to my mother."
Ruan Xi was not such a greedy person, so she just smiled and said, "No need, it's so hard to have some meat at home, you can just eat it, why should I go? I didn't contribute to what happened yesterday, it was all thanks to my aunt."
Why did Zhou Xueyun suddenly ask her to have dinner? She naturally understood the reason.
Ling Yao was curious, "What happened yesterday?"
Because of the busy farming season these two days, Ruan Xi didn't take Ruan Jie to find Ling Yao.
He had no one to talk to, so he naturally knew very little.
Ruan Xi looked at him seriously and said, "Yesterday a little girl fell into the water and almost drowned. Your mother saved her."
Ling Yao responded quickly, "You went to find my mother?"
Ruan Xi nodded, "Yes, I remember you said your mother is a doctor."
Ling Yao looked at her with pleading eyes, "Then come to my house for dinner. You know, my mother has never been close to people and has never invited anyone to my house. It's rare for her to ask for this, let her be happy, okay? In all these years, I have never seen her so happy as today. She is really smiling, not fake."
Ruan Xi looked at Ling Yao's eyes and had the urge to go up and rub his head.
This kid is really cute, well-behaved and lovable.
So she nodded: "Okay!"
After that, she turned around and said to the house: "Grandma, can I go to Ling Yao's house for dinner tonight?"
Liu Xinghua stuck her head out of the stove, glanced at Ling Yao, and answered directly: "You go."
"Let's go."
Ruan Xi smiled and went to Ling Yao's house with him.
Ling Yao also smiled, and the smile spread all over his face.
