Si Muyan was helped home. Actually, the rescue only took ten minutes, but she was exhausted. She lay in the recliner, not wanting to move. Her younger brother, Xiaoxia, held her hand and surrounded her, serving her tea and water.
In the evening, Old Zhang came over.
Si Muyan then stood up: "Why are you here, Doctor Zhang? You're very busy today. If there's anything, just let me know and I'll be there."
Zhu Laoer was injured, Dachun and Erya fell into the water and were rescued, and Old Zhang had to get prescriptions and medicine, so he probably wouldn't have a chance to rest.
Old Zhang waved his hand and said, "Yan girl, don't be so polite. I'm just a barefoot doctor. I only treat headaches and fevers. I can't treat more serious illnesses. I'm not like the doctors in the county clinic."
Si Muyan smiled and said, "Doctor Zhang, you're too polite. In the nearby villages, who wouldn't come to you for help if they have any problems? Besides, doctors in large clinics treat serious illnesses. How many serious illnesses are there on a normal day? Aren't they mostly just headaches and fevers? It shows that Doctor Zhang, you are much more useful than the doctors in the county clinic."
Old Zhang chuckled and then revealed his intention: "I heard that Erya would not survive today. How did you... that... save her?"
It wasn't that he didn't know the details, but he was too embarrassed to tell them. He had heard that Yan Yatou had saved Er Ya by mouth-to-mouth. He didn't understand what kind of rescue method it was, but as a doctor, he was so eager to understand that he couldn't help but run to the Si family to ask as soon as he finished his work.
"Yes, I saved Erya with first aid." Si Muyan did not hide anything and roughly explained to Old Zhang the principles of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration, as well as their scope of application.
Old Zhang listened carefully, nodded, and said, "Something like measuring one's temper?"
Si Muyan said, "It's a bit similar, but artificial respiration requires alternating between inhalation and exhalation to simulate human breathing, allowing the patient to breathe on their own."
Old Zhang nodded: "This method is not bad. If I had learned this method earlier, maybe I could have saved more people! Oh, I still haven't learned the skills well enough. I wonder if I can still do this..."
Si Muyan said hurriedly, "Actually, not many people know about it. I also read it in an ancient book, and it seems to have been lost a long time ago. It's okay, Doctor Zhang. Now that you have learned it, you can still save people in the future."
"Yeah."
Si Muyan also taught other first aid knowledge, all of which were used to save lives, such as when a child was stuck by a foreign object, when an elderly person suddenly fainted, etc.
Old Zhang listened attentively, his hands mimicking the instructions unconsciously. He couldn't read, otherwise he would have liked to write it all down and review it later.
Seeing this, Si Muyan smiled and said, "It's hard for you to remember so much at once. Besides, accidents don't happen every day in life, so these are just for emergencies. If Doctor Zhang needs it, come and ask me when you have time, and I'll explain it to you in detail."
"That's good, that's good!" Old Zhang was overjoyed. He thanked her profusely, then hesitantly asked, "Girl Yan, are you sharing all of these unique methods with me? Have you told me everything? With these methods, if you save someone outside, you'll have money and fame."
Si Muyan waved her hand. "I was just curious, so I learned some basic hygiene and first aid knowledge. But I don't know how to actually diagnose and prescribe medicine. I don't make money from this, and I think if more people learned this, many illnesses could be avoided, and many people who died in accidents could be saved, right?"
When Old Zhang heard this, he felt ashamed. Those of them who had some skills, even if they had a certain skill, would only pass it on to their sons or apprentices, never to outsiders. After all, there's a saying that if you teach your apprentice, you'll starve to death. How much more so if you teach outsiders?
But Yan Yatou is really a person who cares about the people. She makes money by herself and wants to help the villagers make money. If she has the ability, she wants to teach them so that she can reduce the suffering and death of those around her. Although he does not have Yan Yatou's ability, he also wants to be a selfless person.
Zhu Lao Da was released. He hadn't actively harmed anyone, and the compensation for Zhu Lao Er had been left to Songji Village. After all, Zhu Lao Da didn't pay, but he had land that would yield a harvest next year, so the village could just divide it up and give it to Zhu Lao Er. But Aunt Zhu intentionally injured someone, and even though Zhu Lao Er wasn't seriously injured, she was still imprisoned.
The village head heard what the head of the village said: "I heard that the higher-ups are cracking down now. Fights and quarrels must be strictly judged. Some people are seriously injured, and the county government is not qualified to punish them. They have to be sent to the city for punishment. Originally, Zhu Lao Da's wife was only sentenced to ten strokes of the cane, but she refused to admit her fault and disrupted the court. The higher-ups said that it would be inconvenient for her to be imprisoned during the New Year holidays."
"How long will this be closed?"
The head of the pavilion shook his head. "Three to five days, the government office is also on holiday. It will be the fifth day of the new year. Then you can ask Zhu Datian to admit his fault. His wife will behave herself after being locked up for a few days, and then she can be released."
The village head sighed helplessly: "Datian's eldest son fell into the water and disappeared. We are still looking for him. Datian's youngest son is only a few years old. It's pitiful that he is without his mother during the New Year."
"That's what they asked for." The headman asked about the cow's drowning and couldn't help but sigh. "No wonder they say if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked, isn't that the truth? The mother wants to harm the child, and the son bullies his cousins. What kind of thing is this? If that child is found, you should also take care of him and make sure he doesn't grow up to be a bad kid. It will be hard for the village, and it won't be hard for me either. When the year-end report is submitted, won't we be the ones criticized by the higher-ups?"
"Yes, that's what the captain said."
The village head smiled as he saw the pavilion chief off, but his heart sank. It had been an hour and a half since Daniu fell into the water and disappeared, and he still hadn't returned. Wasn't that worrying? He could only take care of the child when he returned. What if he didn't?
He shook his head, forced himself not to think too much, and prayed for Buddha's blessing.
Zhu Laosi and the other fellow from the village who went with him didn't return until dark. Zhu Laosi's eyes were red and his steps were a little unsteady, while the fellow from the village was carrying a frame woven from branches and vines, on which lay the big ox.
The big bull had been soaked for too long, and was a little swollen, and had long since died.
When Zhu Lao Da saw his son's body after receiving the news, he didn't cry or make a fuss. He stood there looking at it for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter and pointed at Zhu Lao Si's nose and cursed: "You heartless Lao Si, do you still remember that when you were a child, I carried you on my back every day and raised you? Now you collude with others to bully me and hide my son to deceive me? You just want me to give money to Zhu Ertian, right? I tell you, dream on!"
Zhu Laosi wiped his tears and let his elder brother poke his nose with his finger. He did not dodge or evade, but choked with sobs: "Brother... It's my fault. I couldn't save Daniu..."
