Less than two minutes after Qian Xiaolan inserted the needle, the bleeding on the man's arm finally stopped.
The man's wife cried with joy and kept bowing to Qian Xiaolan to express her gratitude.
The nurse rushed over and saw this scene.
She asked out of curiosity and was surprised to learn that the bleeding in the man's arm had stopped.
Just when I was about to ask how the bleeding was stopped, I saw Qian Xiaolan removing the needle.
The nurse's face suddenly lit up with joy. She held Qian Xiaolan's hand and said excitedly:
"Comrade, can you also treat a patient's constant nosebleeds through acupuncture?"
Qian Xiaolan shook her head: "It can only be relieved, it can't be stopped immediately."
Hearing this, the nurse immediately pulled her up and left.
"It's fine if it can ease the pain, just walk a little, but it worries us so much, five or six doctors in our hospital have tried, but the blood is still flowing."
"Hey, these people are really stupid. They didn't even know how to be careful when driving a boat. The whole boat crashed into a reef. Fortunately, they were lucky enough to have other boats around to rescue them. Otherwise..."
Qian Xiaolan understood. No wonder the man was soaked all over.
She thought again: Could Wenxuan be the descendant of this nurse?
Otherwise, how come they are so good at talking?
Qian Xiaolan was pulled into a ward, where she saw a man lying on a bed with a towel on his forehead. A doctor nearby was stuffing cotton into his nostrils, which instantly turned red.
"Doctor Chen, this comrade knows acupuncture. She stopped the bleeding of the man outside just now. Can you let her try it on this patient?"
Doctor Chen looked up, and Qian Xiaolan looked at him calmly: "I can't guarantee that the bleeding will stop immediately, but it can certainly relieve it."
Doctor Chen looked at Qian Xiaolan for a while, and seeing that she remained neither humble nor arrogant, he made way.
Qian Xiaolan stepped forward, disinfected several acupuncture points such as Hegu, Yingxiang, Shaoshang, etc., and then took out a needle and inserted it one by one.
After waiting for about five minutes, the patient's bleeding symptoms were indeed alleviated a lot.
The nurse was overjoyed, and Dr. Chen's eyes also flashed with surprise.
Qian Xiaolan frowned and reached out her hand to gently pinch several acupoints.
After another two minutes, the patient's nosebleed finally stopped.
Qian Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief and removed the needle.
"Thank you, comrade. That's a great trick of yours!"
After Dr. Chen finished speaking, he immediately cleaned the patient's nasal cavity and applied medicine.
Seeing that the tense atmosphere had eased, Qian Xiaolan asked:
"Hello, Doctor Chen! I am Qian Xiaolan, a family member who is accompanying the army. I am currently living on West Asia Island. I would like to take the barefoot doctor assessment. Is there anything I should be aware of?"
Doctor Chen was surprised: "Which hospital are you not a doctor in?"
Qian Xiaolan shook her head: "I learned medical skills from my mother. I didn't receive formal training, nor did I take any exams. I just treated some minor illnesses for the villagers."
Doctor Chen nodded in understanding: "Actually, this is just a personnel selection. Anyone who is literate, responsible, and can serve the people wholeheartedly can get the qualification to study as a barefoot doctor. After they study for three months, they can go back to the village to treat patients.
But seeing that you are so good at acupuncture, I think you can treat other diseases without any problem, so you can skip the training."
"If you're worried, I'll lend you a copy of the Barefoot Doctor's Handbook. Take it home and read it. If there are no problems, you can just wait until the end to take the test with everyone else."
Qian Xiaolan went with him to his office to get the book, thanked him and left the commune hospital.
Having finally made the trip, she wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to start shopping.
Unfortunately, supplies are extremely scarce here. Apart from the common salted fish, kelp and clams on the island, the only food available are some cabbage, potatoes and green vegetables.
There was also an urgent shortage of daily necessities. Even towels and soap had to be snatched away, not to mention cloth and cotton.
Before she started shopping, she sighed and left the supply and marketing cooperative.
Forget it. If she can’t buy it, she can just sell it.
After riding her bike around Bailong Commune twice, she figured out the location of the black market and several exits.
Qian Xiaolan found a secluded location and entered the space with her car.
Half an hour later, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes appeared in the black market carrying a large backpack.
The people in the black market saw that he was a stranger and stared at him warily.
Qian Xiaolan smiled inwardly, took off the backpack calmly, lifted the coarse cloth on it, and waved to the person who was staring at her to come over.
The black market guy looked inside curiously, then immediately ran forward in surprise.
"Comrade, are you going to sell all these things?"
Qian Xiaolan nodded and said in a calm voice: "Take me to see your person in charge. I have more than just abalone, sea cucumbers and big fish. I have better things."
The younger brother was so happy that he forgot to ask her to wait and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Soon, he came back and took Qian Xiaolan away: "Our brother Cheng wants to see you."
Qian Xiaolan calmly shook off his hand, picked up the backpack and walked with him while observing the surroundings.
The meeting with Brother Cheng was very successful. Qian Xiaolan saw that although he looked fierce, he was a man of integrity and spoke politely to her, so she said to him:
"My friend got some goods from Yangcheng.
We have 1,000 jin of rice, 200 towels, 10 bolts of various common fabrics, 10 bolts of fine cotton, 10 quilts weighing 6 jin, and 100 jin of pork. The goods are ready. As long as Brother Cheng gives us a suitable price, we will sell them to you immediately."
As for the fish, it smelled strong and was difficult to store, so she only sold the basket she brought with her.
Brother Cheng was very excited and gave Qian Xiaolan a quote directly, which was 50% higher than the price offered by the supply and marketing cooperative.
