The child's face was blue and purple, his throat was gurgling, and he was about to suffocate.
Qian Xiaolan's face changed and she said hurriedly, "Don't hold it like that, give the child to me!"
The woman didn't react and her hands were still tightly holding the child.
Gu Yanqing hurried forward to help Qian Xiaolan hold the child over and let him stand.
Qian Xiaolan bent over and stood behind the child. She clenched one hand into a fist and placed it two fingers above the navel. She then covered the fist with her other hand and pushed upward quickly. After several times, the child finally coughed out the foreign object in his throat.
It's a piece of fruit candy.
Having escaped death, the child cried heartbreakingly. The woman was so scared that she hugged the child tightly, patted him and cried.
"You damn child, I told you to be greedy, how dare you be greedy again?
You almost lost your life for stealing a piece of candy from someone, you little bastard, wuwuwu..."
Qian Xiaolan was stunned when she heard that. She scanned the scene and saw a little face with tears in the crowd.
It was Xu Xiuxiu, the youngest daughter of Wang Yufeng.
Just as she was about to speak, everyone gathered around her:
"Comrade, your move just now was truly amazing. You saved the lives of five members of the Jiang family!"
"Military wife, we just heard you say you are studying medicine, is this true?"
"Where do you practice medicine? Can we come to you for treatment if we get sick in the future?"
…
Qian Xiaolan answered their questions one by one with a smile, then pulled Gu Yanqing and ran away.
The villagers were so enthusiastic that she was a little overwhelmed.
By the time the woman finished crying and remembered her son's savior, the man had already disappeared.
After returning, Qian Xiaolan and Gu Yanqing talked about the dinner party: "I will ask the villagers to exchange some eggs and some dishes tomorrow. Can I have a dinner party the day after tomorrow?"
Gu Yanqing asked her if she was tired. Qian Xiaolan shook her head, so he said, "Then the day after tomorrow. I'll go talk to them tomorrow."
Afraid that Qian Xiaolan didn't understand, he said to her, "Drinking is not allowed here. Don't prepare any wine. Cook more food. They are all gluttons."
Qian Xiaolan chuckled, "Yeah, you too."
Gu Yanqing choked: "I eat less than them."
"Yeah, yeah... well."
All the remaining words were blocked by the embarrassed man's lips and tongue.
******
That night, Qian Xiaolan realized how terrible a man who gets angry because of shame can be.
The next day, Qian Xiaolan slept until noon and found that the person beside her was gone, but there was still a note under her pillow.
She cursed, "This stinky man is really too much," and then went to wash up and eat with a smile on her face.
After dinner, I cleaned up the house and it was time to go fishing.
He picked up his sea-hunting tools and went out to call Wang Yufeng.
Wang Yufeng said to her with a haggard look on her face: "Xiu Xiu cried all night last night, so I won't go today."
Qian Xiaolan knew that Xiuxiu was probably frightened by the child's appearance yesterday, and said to her with mixed feelings:
"Sister-in-law, Xiuxiu must be frightened. I'll go check on her."
Wang Yufeng suddenly realized: "Ah? Yes, I heard that Xiaolan is a medical practitioner and that you saved the big-headed kid last night.
Then come and take a look at Xiuxiu. We also think she is frightened, but my mother-in-law and I have tried some traditional methods to scare her, but it is useless. It is really frustrating."
Qian Xiaolan nodded without saying anything more and followed her into the house.
At this moment, Xiuxiu was being held tightly in her grandmother's arms and patted gently. As soon as her grandmother loosened her hand, she started crying.
Qian Xiaolan sighed and walked over to her, saying softly, "Hello, Xiuxiu! I'm your uncle Gu's aunt, do you still remember me?"
Qian Xiaolan's tone was gentle. Xiuxiu opened her eyelids, glanced at her, and nodded almost imperceptibly.
Qian Xiaolan smiled at her and stretched out her hand: "Auntie wants to shake your hand now, is that okay?"
Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment and slowly extended her hand.
Qian Xiaolan held her hand and squeezed it gently, feeling her pulse, and continued to speak: "Xiu Xiu, are you feeling unwell? Auntie will take a look at you, you will be well soon."
Xiuxiu didn't say anything, but stared at Qian Xiaolan's actions curiously.
Qian Xiaolan took her pulse on both hands and pressed on her body for a while. Xiuxiu gradually relaxed, her eyelids slowly closed, and finally she fell asleep.
Qian Xiaolan waited for a while and said to her grandmother, "Aunt, put her down to sleep. She should be able to sleep soundly for a few hours this time."
Aunt Xu hesitated, and Wang Yufeng said, "Mother, listen to Xiaolan. She is a doctor. Just try to put Xiuxiu down quietly."
Aunt Xu then gently put Xiuxiu on the bed, but when she tried to get up, her legs were numb from sitting for so long that she almost fell off the bed.
Fortunately, Qian Xiaolan was right beside her and quickly supported her.
"Auntie, please continue to sit down. I'll give you a massage."
After saying that, he squatted down and pulled up Aunt Xu's trouser legs on both sides, while reaching out and pressing the Zusanli acupoint.
This acupoint has the functions of tonifying the middle and replenishing Qi, regulating Qi and relieving adverse reactions, and unblocking meridians and activating blood circulation.
After pressing for a while, Aunt Xu whispered, "Hey, that's enough, my legs are no longer numb."
Qian Xiaolan stood up with a smile and said to Wang Yufeng, "Sister-in-law, Xiuxiu needs to take some medicine.
Go to someone's house and see if they have any pearls. Get some and grind them into powder. Give it to Xiuxiu and she'll be fine."
Wang Yufeng was delighted when she heard this, "I have some pearls at home. I'll get them for you to see."
The pearls Wang Yufeng took out were not of very good quality, but she didn't feel bad about grinding them into powder.
After Qian Xiaolan told her how fine the grinding should be and how much to use each time, she packed her things and went to catch seafood amid the thanks from the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
