Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Urgent Rescue Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Urgent Rescue Secretary Zhang Dezhen was now in a panic. If things continued this way, there was bound to be trouble. He had been helping his own brother with work; if something happened to him, it would surely bring major complications.
So, he hurriedly called for someone to go to the breeding farm and harness a mule cart, as mules run faster than oxen.
Brigade Leader Gao Jiefang approached and said, “Secretary, don’t you have a spare key to the health station? Let’s stop Gao Shunyi’s bleeding first. Otherwise, I’m afraid he’ll have bled out by the time we get to the commune health clinic.”
“I have the key, right here with me,” the Secretary said. “But besides Doctor Gao, there’s no one in our village who understands how to use those things.”
The Secretary truly panicked this time, fearing that these two might really get into trouble that would affect his own brother.
Brigade Leader Gao Jiefang said, “Let Luo Qiao do it. She knows a bit. She followed a doctor in a big place and learned for several years. Stopping the bleeding should be no problem.”
Actually, Gao Jiefang was also afraid that something serious might happen to Gao Shunyi, which would cause chaos in the village.
Secretary Zhang Dezhen glanced at Luo Qiao standing in the crowd and said, “She’s so young. Can she handle it? This is no time for nonsense.”
“Whether she can handle it, she must handle it now,” said the Brigade Leader. “Otherwise, by the time we get to the commune health clinic, it’ll be too late. The mule cart isn’t here yet; we need to hurry.”
The Brigade Leader felt a little embarrassed looking at Luo Qiao. The girl wanted to keep a low profile, and earlier, when she kindly reminded him, he was now pushing her into the limelight.
With mixed feelings, Secretary Zhang Dezhen said to Luo Qiao, “Come with me. See what you need and take it yourself.”
The health station was right nearby, and Luo Qiao had already heard that Doctor Gao from the village’s health station was not in today. Since this was a matter of life and death, she didn’t quibble with the Brigade Leader.
She quickly followed inside, took what she needed, and then shouted loudly, “Could someone help out and bring a basin of warm water and a clean towel over here?”
Hearing this, the family next door hurriedly prepared it and brought it over. Seeing Gao Shunyi’s pale face, everyone feared the worst.
Luo Qiao’s skillful handling of the wound—cleaning, medicating, and bandaging—left the villagers speechless with amazement.
In her previous life, Luo Qiao had attended several emergency first aid training sessions, plus she had the memories of the original body, and moreover, she had already done this once in the city, so she did not panic at all.
By the time Luo Qiao was nearly finished with the treatment, the mule cart had also arrived.
After helping Gao Shunyi with his bandages, she also checked Qiao Congshan and found that his left leg was broken.
Fearing that the villagers might not know what to do, she had someone find two planks to temporarily stabilize his broken leg, and then she allowed people to carefully lift him onto the cart.
Watching the mule cart depart in the distance, the expressions on the villagers’ faces were very serious.
Seeing that everything was under control, Luo Qiao tidied up the items in her hands and handed them back to the Brigade Leader, preparing to head home.
Brigade Leader Gao Jiefang, feeling somewhat embarrassed, said, “Luo Qiao, I apologize for today. It wasn’t right of me to impose this on you without asking in advance, but it was because Gao Shunyi was in critical condition.”
Luo Qiao smiled and said, “It’s no problem. Saving lives is the priority.”
Some villagers heard the exchange between the two and one remarked, “Luo Qiao is no ordinary girl, huh? She can stop bleeding and bandage wounds so proficiently, she’s just as good as Doctor Gao.”
“Thank goodness Luo Qiao managed to stop the bleeding. You didn’t see how pale Gao Shunyi’s face was. There was so much blood when he was carried out from Zhang Degang’s house.”
“I couldn’t have done it; I would have been scared to death. Luo Qiao is not only brave but also attentive. She really did a huge favor today.”
