章 9: A Wolf Bit Someone

編集者: Exodus Tales

The Su Family lived on the east end of the village close to where the entrance was. Su Mian's father, Su Jiang Hai, was well known in the village as someone who always tried to never offend others. This was why everyone was willing to find Su Jian Hai and his wife when problems occur.

"Who was bitten? Where's Su Jiang Hai?" He Qin was anxious and worried that Su Jiang Hai had been injured. After a few steps, she had almost tripped on a pile of snow in the yard by was caught by Su Mian who was following close behind.

Su Jin Long fiercely glared at Su Mian, "Su Mian, you bearer of bad fortune. Dad went to find medicine for you. If he has encountered any misfortune, I will forever hate you!"

Su Mian was slightly puzzled. In her previous life, she did not fall ill this severely, thus Su Jiang Hai never went to find medicine.

It seemed that her rebirth had caused the course of events to change.

"It bit four people. My brother's injury is the most severe. Uncle Su only received light injuries." It was the second son from the Liu Family who lived next door who spoke. Everyone called him Liu Er¹.

Su Mian ran out and saw Liu Da¹ on the ground. The chest area of his cotton-padded jacket and a large part of his face was drenched in blood. Blood was still flowing out from the injury on his neck.

The carotid artery is injured!

"Did you call for Doctor Ma?"

"Quickly call for Doctor Ma!"

The villagers all cried at in exclamation.

Doctor Ma was the village's only doctor. He lived on the west side of the village and would require at least half an hour to arrive. Liu Da was probably not able to wait for Doctor Ma.

After a while, the other villagers who had heard the news had surrounded the road. The men stood closer while the timid women and children were hiding afar.

He Qin ran to Su Jiang Hai and looked at him from head to toe. Seeing that there was no blood on him, she was slightly relieved, "Where did it bite you?"

Su Jiang Hai raised his hand in front of her, "It's only a cut on the wrist from the wolf's claw. Just a little bit of blood. Nothing to worry about."

"Uncle Su, I heard that Su Hong has returned. Isn't she part of the Interstellar Health Division? Can she take a look at my brother?" Liu Er was quite diligent and quite smart.

"Liu Er, you reacted quickly. Su Hong is still here." Someone said and called for Su Hong.

Su Hong and her mother, Bai Yu Lan, were currently eating a meal at home. When they heard someone shouting, they also ran out.

"Su Hong, I beg you, please come over quickly and take a look at my brother!" Liu Er said and immediately kneeled on the ground.

At this time, Su Hong was only 21 years old. She had a square face with thin eyes and wore a newly made red cotton-padded jacket.

Being watched by so many people caused her to blush as she stood there elegantly.

Su Mian never imagined Su Hong would become so malicious in the future.

Su Hong slightly hesitated. Although she had studied medicine in the army for more than three years, she had never seen a real patient. She usually performed individual physical examinations on the soldiers to see if they had any fever, common cold, muscle strain, etc.

"This... I'm afraid I cannot handle this. I-It's best to wait for Doctor Ma." Su Hong said and then hid behind Bai Yu Lan.

She had already seen Liu Da's situation from amongst the crowd. The blood had come from the carotid artery. If it was not treated properly, then it would result in death. She did not dare play with her future and reputation.

"Liu Da's injury is too severe. Even Su Hong cannot treat it!"

"I think it is unlikely that Liu Da will make it."

"Why is Doctor Ma not here yet!"

Everybody's words cause Liu Er's eyes to darken. He kneeled on the floor and cried loudly, "Everyone, someone please save my brother. I am even willing to work like an ox for you!" After saying so, he immediately kowtowed towards everyone.

"I will try." Su Mian walked out from the crowd.

Liu Er raised his head in surprise. He looked at Su Mian as the light dimmed a lot, "Ca-Can you do it?"

Everyone in the village knew that Su Mian was normally timid and fearful of everything. She was someone who rolled down a valley when frightened. How could she save someone?

"Second brother Liu, let me try it. Doctor Ma would take half an hour to arrive. Big brother Liu's injury is on his carotid artery. If a few more minutes passed, it will be too late." Su Mian did not know when but she was already holding onto gauze and clean strip of cloth.

Liu Er was still hesitant at first, but after hearing Su Mian's words, he made his decision and looked at Su Jiang Hai.

"Daughter, human life is beyond value. Can you really do it?" Su Jiang Hai also did not believe that his timid daughter would stand up.

"Dad, have faith in me. For now, I will help him temporarily stop the bleeding. Bring him to the county hospital later." Su Mian looked at Su Jiang Hai. Her clear eyes were shining in the darkness of the night.
