Tian Cai no longer cared about what Qin Ling was doing and went back to read under the crabapple tree.
If there is no dew in the future, she always feels that she should read more and learn more. However, she doesn't know if it is her illusion. Things that she could remember after reading two or three times in the past, she can now remember them after reading them once. Moreover, she has just entered a very mysterious state.
Whenever she saw a certain sentence in a medical book, the related parts would automatically emerge in her mind. She even felt that someone was explaining it to her, but the part would disappear as soon as she came out of that mysterious state.
Tian Cai turned the medical book over and placed it on his legs, reciting the chapter on human meridians in the Treatise on Febrile Diseases that he had just read.
“The meridians are the three yin meridians of the hand (lung, pericardium, and heart), the three yang meridians of the hand (large intestine, triple burner, and small intestine), and the three yang meridians of the foot (stomach, gallbladder, and bladder)…”
After a while, she recited the page she had just read fluently, and a map of the human meridians appeared in her mind. The meridian map pointed to wherever she recited, and even the local internal tissues appeared in her mind one by one. Tian Cai was a little confused. Was this like closing the door and opening the window for her?
Or was this a hidden skill of Douya? Tian Cai was becoming increasingly confused. Why didn't this thing come with an instruction manual or something?
Thinking about the changes that had taken place in the bean sprouts over the past year, each time developing for the better, she looked at the half-opened buds and began to look forward to it.
Qin Ling saw the girl sitting quietly under the crabapple tree, with her eyelids drooping and a book on her knees. After a while, she turned over the upside-down book and took a look. After reading it, she began to stare blankly, and then she started to laugh.
A half-grown calico cat was lying on the bench next to it, leisurely enjoying the summer afternoon.
He didn't disturb anyone else and finished repairing the roof. He looked around and saw that there was not much water in the water tank anymore. He took the bucket and filled it up again. He worked until there was nothing more to do. Then he pushed the cart away without disturbing the girl who was meditating under the tree.
As Qin Ling walked out, he saw a few people running towards him not far away, so he stopped.
When they got closer, Qin Ling saw that the person running in front was Liu Guihua, with disheveled hair and an anxious look on her face. She was holding a little girl of six or seven years old in her arms.
The child's face turned purple.
Qin Ling pushed the flatbed cart aside, knocked lightly on the door, and whispered to Tian Cai, who was awakened from his distraction, "Someone is coming."
Tian Cai also heard the crying and shouting coming from outside. She just put the book aside when she saw Liu Guihua rushing in with a child in her arms. She identified the child's symptoms at a glance. His lips were slightly open, and it was obvious that something was stuck in his mouth, which caused him to have difficulty breathing and his cheeks to turn this color.
"Give it to me quickly!" Tian Cai immediately took the child from her hands, and then put one leg against the child's lower back.
He put his hands around her from behind, found the area two fingers above her belly button, pressed his fists inward, covered his other palm with his fist, and quickly thrust his hands diagonally upwards to hit her abdomen.
This is the Heimlich maneuver that almost everyone in later generations knows. It is aimed at situations where breathing difficulties are caused by accidentally swallowing foreign objects.
But just because this first aid method is known to later generations doesn't mean people at that time would accept it. When Liu Guihua saw that Tian Cai didn't dig the baby out of the mouth, but instead held the baby up and shook it, she immediately jumped in panic, "What are you doing? You're digging the baby out of the mouth, but shaking it like this will only make it deeper, my dear!"
No matter how gossipy Liu Guihua was, her motherly instinct made her want to snatch the child back, so she rushed directly towards Tian Cai.
Before she could speak, Qin Ling had already flashed over. He used his body to separate the two of them and refused to move even a step even though Liu Guihua slapped him.
"What are you doing! Give my daughter to me! My daughter!"
Aunt Zhao, who had come in with Liu Guihua, saw this and hurried forward to hold her back. "Stop making a fuss. Doctor Tian has never failed to save anyone. She must have her reasons for saving the child this way. If this method works, won't you be delaying the child's life?"
Liu Guihua slowed down her patting of Qin Ling. Yes, if it worked, she would have dug it out just now. But she had dug it out before and poured water into it before. Nannan's face became more and more ugly. It was Aunt Zhao who saw it and asked her to bring the child to find Tian Cai.
Tian Cai ignored the movement here. When he hit the child for the sixth time, "puff", a half-cooked apricot was spit out from the child's mouth and fell to the ground.
"Cough cough cough, wow wow mother wow wow!" Nannan coughed twice and then started crying loudly.
When she saw the fallen green apricot, Liu Guihua breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she was finally alive. Then she felt her hands and feet go weak and she fell to the ground.
Aunt Zhao quickly stepped forward to support the person, "She vomited it out, she vomited it out, Nannan is fine now!"
Tian Cai held the child in her arms and brought it to Liu Guihua. After the girl spit out the stuff in her throat, she breathed smoothly and her complexion suddenly looked much better. She was also frightened, so when she got to Liu Guihua, she quickly crawled into her arms and cried. The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly.
"Okay, come over later and I'll check if your throat is damaged. If it is, you'll need to drink porridge for a few days to recuperate." Tian Cai said.
"Yes, yes, yes, let's take a look!" Liu Guihua wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve and said a few words of comfort. After the little girl stopped crying, she brought the child over to Tian Cai and said with a worried look on her face, "Doctor Tian, please take a look. Is there anything wrong with her throat?"
There were still tears on the little girl's face, and she was still a little frightened. She leaned closely against Liu Guihua and looked at Tian Cai with tears in her eyes.
"Come here, be good and open your mouth for your sister to see." Tian Cai wiped her tears and said softly.
She blinked her eyes and opened her mouth, "Ah——"
Liu Guihua lowered her head and saw the broken skin on Nannan's throat with her. She said a little embarrassedly, "I, I thought I could pick it out!"
Tian Cai said nothing. After carefully examining the little girl, he let her close her mouth and patted her head. "It's nothing. Just go home and drink porridge for two days."
Liu Guihua then thanked him happily. Since she didn't have to spend any money without a prescription, she wanted to take her child home immediately.
"Wait," Tian Cai stopped the man and pointed at Qin Ling, who looked a little embarrassed after being slapped by her, and said coldly, "Apologize."
The smile on Liu Guihua's face froze. Seeing that she was still staring at her, she stopped smiling, apologized awkwardly in a low voice, and quickly dragged the child away.
Tian Cai looked at Qin Ling's messy hair and his pretended indifference, and his eyes curved, "Thank you so much for what you did just now!"
Qin Ling was stunned for a moment, blinked, and looked to the side uncomfortably.
