Chapter 117 Trying anything as a last resort
"We caught it! We caught it!"
Several young men worked together to lift up a short, thin woman.
A whole group of people crowded over to see.
"It really is Chen Cuihua!"
"Is she still alive? How did she get so thin?"
Chen Cuihua was carried ashore, her eyes tightly closed, her face as white as a ghost.
The floral dress she was wearing was clearly something a young woman would wear; it was tattered and short, with a patch of coarse black cloth sewn onto the bottom.
Someone put their hand over her nose: "She's not breathing..."
"I'm totally hooked."
"Qingqing, Qingqing, come and see!" Old Man Lu called out as he turned around.
But Lu Qingqing was nowhere to be seen behind him.
"Where's your sister?" Old Man Lu asked Lu Yun, his eyes wide.
Lu Yun didn't know either.
There are too many people, I can't even see them.
"Grandpa Lu, my aunt taught me how to perform first aid on a drowning person! Let me do it!"
Si Xi rushed in.
"Okay, then you do it."
Old Man Lu felt uneasy. This was the river where Lu Qingqing had fallen into the water, and the thought made him panic.
"Second brother, go and call your cousins. Their mother is dying, why hasn't any of them come over!"
Lu Yun ran to call for help.
Old Man Lu then searched for Lu Qingqing along the riverbank.
Si Xi began to perform first aid according to the method taught by Lu Qingqing.
"Sixi, the person is dead, what use are you now?" an old woman asked, wiping away her tears.
Si Xi didn't have time to pay attention; he was staring at Chen Cuihua's mouth.
No! My aunt said she'd save him if he encountered a man, and she'd save him if he encountered a woman.
If pressing on her doesn't wake her up, does that mean this young man is really going to kiss an old woman?
And there was mud on her mouth.
Si Xi's face looked as if he were already dead.
Wang Jincai shouted to the people, "Of course! Sixi is a little miracle doctor! Just wait, he'll wake up in a bit!"
Si Xi was truly moved.
He thought he would teach Wang Jincai the first aid method when he got back, so that he could handle such situations in the future.
"I'm about to channel my immortal energy, so don't call me a vagrant, I'm saving someone!"
Under the wide-eyed stares of everyone, Sixi pinched Chen's nose and knelt down.
"suck--"
...
"Qingqing, Qingqing, my daughter!"
Old Man Lu searched along the river and suddenly saw a man on the opposite bank carrying a girl and trying to run away.
Looking at the color of that girl's clothes, isn't that my own daughter?
"You son of a bitch..."
Old Man Lu sprinted over at top speed and kicked the man before he entered the woods.
The man dodged, causing Old Man Lu to stumble.
"Uncle Lu, it's me."
"No one!" Old Man Lu roared, "Put my daughter down!"
Old Man Lu looked closely and realized it was Xu Rui!
Looking closer, both of them were soaking wet. Her daughter was motionless and was covered with Xu Rui's coat.
"Uncle Lu, don't misunderstand. Someone pushed Qingqing into the river just now! It looks like she hit her head," Xu Rui quickly explained.
He only glanced at the Chen family member who had been pulled out of the water, and when he turned back, he saw Lu Qingqing fall into the river, as well as the back of a man who was running away.
Old Man Lu quickly snatched his daughter away, threw the clothes back to Xu Rui, and then took off his own clothes to cover Lu Qingqing.
Who knows if it was this kid who pushed him!
"Qingqing, Qingqing..."
Lu Qingqing was only briefly unconscious and soon woke up as her father shook her.
However, her eyes were strange; it seemed as if she didn't recognize Old Man Lu, yet she also seemed to want to see him clearly.
"Qingqing, don't scare your father!"
Old Man Lu was so frightened that his voice changed.
Don't forget he's someone else.
Xu Rui couldn't help but squat down and reach out to touch Lu Qingqing's head.
There was a big rock where she fell into the water; I hope she didn't hit her head.
"father!"
Lu Qingqing suddenly shouted and hugged her father tightly, bursting into tears.
"Father, Father, Father..."
She called out again and again, as if she had been wronged to the extreme.
Just like when she was a child and felt wronged, she would hide in his arms and cry.
Old Man Lu was stunned. He placed his hand on her back and patted her gently. His own eyes also reddened from her crying.
"Did you just bully my daughter? Did you bully her?"
His gaze fell on Xu Rui, staring intently at him.
"Don't think you can bully people just because you're the son of a county magistrate. Let me tell you, I'm old enough to have lived a full life, and I'm not afraid of you."
"Uncle Lu, I didn't bully you." Xu Rui's voice was strained.
Facing Lu Qingqing, he clenched and unclenched his fists.
Lu Qingqing is a resilient woman; she doesn't cry easily.
Why did you cry?
"father."
Lu Qingqing stopped crying.
"I'm fine, just a bit of a headache."
"Dad, I want to eat your pumpkin rice."
Pumpkin rice.
Lu Qingqing loved eating this when she was little.
Later people said his cooking was terrible, like pig swill.
It's been so many years since I've done it.
Old Man Lu's mind was in turmoil. He couldn't figure it out and didn't have time to think about it. He just nodded repeatedly and agreed, "I'll make it when I get home. I'll make it for you when I get home."
"Father..." Lu Qingqing seemed to have a lot more to say.
But she remembered what was happening now.
Who fell into the river?
"It's your aunt."
Aunt.
"Then go quickly."
Lu Qingqing quickly wiped away her tears, stood up, her mind clear, her movements swift, and she returned to her original self.
She turned to look at Xu Rui and said, "Thank you for saving me."
"Don't go yet, I need to talk to you in a bit."
I also have something to tell you.
...
The noise from the group of people growing louder and louder.
"He can't be saved, he's already dead!"
"Si Xi is a doctor, not a god. Blowing his magic breath won't help!"
Si Xi was covered in sweat, but he didn't stop working.
We've already sacrificed ourselves; it would be a huge disgrace if we couldn't save lives.
He just wants Lu Qingqing to come quickly, to come quickly.
"Sixi, you can definitely save him, I believe in you."
Wang Jincai lifted his shirt to wipe Si Xi's sweat.
If I'm not mistaken, he hasn't changed his clothes in days; they reek of sweat!
"How about I blow on it for you? I ate garlic at noon, maybe that will wake her up."
"Stop talking!" Sixi said, shoving his shoulder.
Chen Cuihua is probably beyond saving; she's been in the water for too long.
Si Xi was very dejected.
This was the first time he had saved someone.
I have experienced the feeling of powerlessness that comes with life slipping away, and the inability to escape the clutches of death.
He hasn't seen enough of life and death, so he can't remain calm.
"Qingqing is here! Qingqing is here!"
The crowd was separated.
Si Xi's eyes suddenly reddened.
"Aunt... I couldn't be saved."
Lu Qingqing's expression remained unchanged as she quickly squatted down to check on Chen's condition.
"His chest is still warm; we can try to save him."
"Sixi, watch closely. In this situation, we have to try anything, even if it seems hopeless, that might bring him back to life!"
Water inhaled causes breathing to stop, blood and qi to stagnate, and the pulse disappears.
Emergency acupoints: Taiyang, Renzhong, Diji, Hegu, Daling, Neiguan, Waiguan, Xuehai, Qihai.
"Go heat up some soot from the bottom of the pot, the more the better!"
"Boil some more ginger soup!"
"Find a few thin bamboo poles that can be hollowed out and inflated!"
