Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Survivor’s Relief, Lingering Dread—Time Is Life!!
"Second brother! Thankfully you were there at the cowshed, and so were these doctors. Our Old He really owes them this time, otherwise, he would have been a goner! I’ve never seen so much blood in my life, scared me to death!!"
Walking from the woods to the road, a thin, dark-skinned woman with disheveled hair, covered in the smell of blood, spoke with a hint of relief in her once terror-stricken eyes, as if she had narrowly escaped death.
No one knew what she was feeling at that moment.
The bleeding wouldn’t stop, and she couldn’t drag the person. She was really just a little bit away from watching her husband die right in front of her.
The appearance of this group of doctors gave her a sense of security.
"Sixth Sister-in-law, I think you should especially thank Dr. Zhang in the front. Xiaohong and his classmates and friends came to see him operate on our cow."
Boss He said with emotion.
Even though Old Six was young, over here, as long as they were of the same generation, even if referring to a younger brother’s wife, they wouldn’t use the term sister-in-law, but directly called her sister-in-law.
People called his wife Second Sister-in-law, so Old Six’s wife was called Sixth Sister-in-law.
This time Old Six really owed Dr. Zhang his life.
"Indeed! Indeed, we must thank that veterinarian! If he hadn’t stopped Old He’s bleeding at that time, Old He probably would’ve been gone."
The thin, dark-skinned woman recalled the scene with lingering fear; even using clothes to block it, the blood couldn’t be stopped.
It was like a burst pipe, spraying out continuously.
Even the nephew couldn’t stop it.
It was still this outstanding veterinarian... wait, he’s a veterinarian??!
Her mind short-circuited for a while, and Sixth Sister-in-law suddenly reconnected like a broken signal, looking incredulously towards the eye-catching figure at the front of the crowd.
"Ah? It’s Dr. Zhang who stopped the bleeding? So, what exactly happened! Why on earth was there a cut on the thigh?!"
Boss He was stunned for a moment.
He always thought it was the nephew Xiaohong who stopped the bleeding, but unexpectedly, it was Dr. Zhang.
No wonder.
Even the TV station came to interview.
Turns out he really learned a bunch of skills from a prestigious university in the Northeast.
However, he was also curious about why there was a cut on the leg for no apparent reason.
Just now, Sixth Sister-in-law seemed absent-minded, like she lost her soul, so he didn’t ask much.
Now that she’s somewhat recovered, Boss He couldn’t help but ask.
"Sigh, it’s all my fault, second brother, I need to go up front and thank Dr. Zhang, earlier I was just like a piece of wood."
The thin, dark-skinned woman sighed, full of self-reproach.
Earlier, she was like a piece of wood; others did life-saving work, and she didn’t even know to express gratitude. Now she’s ready to go upfront to thank them.
"Hurry up, I’ve heard the ambulance sirens. It’s probably arriving soon. If you don’t thank them now, you won’t have the chance once in the vehicle."
Sixth Sister-in-law didn’t explain, and Boss He didn’t plan to press further. The truth would naturally come out once everyone was back.
Right now, the urgent matter was to go upfront and express gratitude.
Otherwise, if they saved a life and gave such great help, it wouldn’t be appropriate not to say a word of thanks.
"Mmm, mmm."
The thin, dark-skinned woman nodded and quickened her pace forward.
"We-woo, we-woo—"
Now the sound of the ambulance sirens could be heard.
"Not at the Qingxi Village gate but in a small mountain pass about two to three minutes’ drive away; now the sirens can be heard, follow the road and keep coming, Teacher Song, you should be able to see us shortly."
Leading the way at the front of the crowd was He Xiaohong.
The second was Li Yingying.
As a nurse at Qing County People’s Hospital, she was on the phone with Teacher Song from the Emergency Department in the hospital’s ambulance.
Informing them of the exact location.
Behind her was Zhang Lingchuan.
Further back were the medical students carrying the stretcher, followed closely by Boss He and the thin, dark-skinned woman, Sixth Sister-in-law.
At the end were the staff from the Integrated Media Center, Song Wanqing, Chen Qian, Xiaowang, and Big Pancake Sister.
Song Wanqing was first, still holding her camera.
The live broadcast continued.
Driver Xiaowang was at the very end.
He was covering the rear.
When they heard the ambulance sirens, the hearts of each one of them relaxed.
Normally, it takes about half an hour for the county’s hospital ambulance to get here, and now it’s just over twenty minutes; this speed is quite impressive, arriving very timely.
Live stream chat.
"I hear the ambulance!"
"Whew—, scared me to death, hope the injured person will be okay."
"Really grateful these medical students were here."
"Here they come! Saw the ambulance!!"
Everyone, like Song Wanqing and the others, slowly let go of their held breaths.
The ambulance arrived.
It parked just on the roadside.
The rear double doors quickly opened.
"Xiaoying!!"
It was Song Min, who had heard about the leg being sawed with a chainsaw and suspected arterial bleeding, a critical situation, so joined the dispatch.
"Teacher Song! The patient is now in hemorrhagic shock! Very urgent!!!"
They all lifted the person onto the road, Li Yingying said to Song Min.
"Okay! Thanks for your hard work! Are the family members here!!"
Song Min nodded to Li Yingying.
"I am! I am the injured person’s wife!"
In the narrow mountain gap, the thin, dark-skinned Sixth Sister-in-law squeezed forward as quickly as possible, and everyone thoughtfully made way.
"The wife, is it? Alright then, get ready to go to the hospital with us in the ambulance."
After checking the patient, Song Min frowned slightly; the situation was rather grim.
"Alright."
The thin, dark-skinned Sixth Sister-in-law finally reached the roadside and nodded while watching her husband being loaded into the ambulance.
"Let’s go, let’s get in the vehicle now."
Song Min spoke, as time was life now.
It’s definitely impossible to go home and get things at this moment.
"Yes, doctor, let me say a few words to everyone first."
Sixth Sister-in-law nodded.
She then turned to face everyone.
"Dear doctors, this time I am very grateful for all your help, without you, our Old He wouldn’t have had the chance to be sent to the hospital for rescue!"
Sixth Sister-in-law’s dark eyes gleamed with emotion.
Facing everyone, she continuously bowed in gratitude.
Earlier, she was so scared and out of it, like a log, unaware to offer thanks to those who saved her husband.
Now, finally coming back, she gave thanks to everyone.
After all, without them, her husband surely wouldn’t have survived.
"It’s nothing! No need to thank us, we just did the manual labor, mainly it was He Tongxue and Teacher Zhang."
"Yes! The thanks should go to those two, by the time we got there, the bleeding was already stopped."
"Exactly, the manual work was done by the boys, we nurses didn’t do much."
Hearing the gratitude, everyone was happy.
On a Saturday, everyone came with various motives, like seeing a handsome guy, learning, debunking, but who would’ve thought they’d become part of a rescue team, unexpectedly doing a good deed.
But they didn’t dare to take credit.
Primarily, it was He Tongxue and Teacher Zhang, the two at the forefront, who played a critical role, so they should be thanked.
