Chapter 26: Using Needles to Save The Child
“Hurry up and start CPR!” Gu Man quickly said. However, after a few rounds of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and cardiac compressions, the little boy still did not show any signs of waking up.
Everyone started to discuss.
“He can’t live anymore. How pitiful! He’s so young.”
“I wonder where his family is. Why aren’t there any adults watching him?”
“That’s right. Where are his parents? Children of this age are the most active. You can’t leave them all alone. Something must have happened!”
Gu Man’s pale face darkened. The chattering around her really made her frustrated.
Xiang Yin asked in a low voice, “Is the ambulance here?”
“Not yet!” Bai Yun replied. “It might take ten minutes.”
When Gu Man heard this, she thought to herself, Ten minutes? How could the little boy still be saved after ten minutes?
“Let me try!” Gu Man took out a small cloth bag from her wet coat. She opened a ring of rope and flipped the cloth bag open.
It was a row of thin silver needles.
Xiang Yin was surprised. Gu Man knew how to use silver needles?
“Why don’t we wait for the ambulance? They’re almost here!” Bai Yun looked at the row of shiny silver needles and felt a little uncertain.
A small mistake while using the needles would cost a child’s life. Besides, the child’s parents were not there yet. It was hard to say if anything would happen. After all, this was a life, and no one dared to be responsible for it.
When the surrounding people saw that a little girl like Gu Man actually dared to perform acupuncture on a child, they started to point fingers.
“You’re so young. Can you really do it? Acupuncture is not a joke!”
“Miss, why don’t you wake up first? If you accidentally use the wrong needle later, you’ll have to be responsible if anything happens to the child!”
“Young ladies like to show off and don’t consider the consequences!”
As Gu Man listened to these onlookers, she really wanted to stab them until they were mute.
Xiang Yin pondered for a moment and said to Gu Man, “What do you want to do?”
Xiang Yin actually chose to believe her!
However, before Gu Man could speak, there was a commotion in the crowd.
“Move aside! Move aside!” A group of people pushed through the crowd and rushed in.
Then, there was a shrill and desperate wail. “Ah Mai!”
“Grandpa, it’s really our Ah Mai!” a girl exclaimed in disbelief.
When the old man, who had rushed over, saw the little boy on Xiang Yin’s knee, his legs went weak and his hand that was holding onto the walking stick tightened. Something had happened to his Ah Mai!
After receiving the news of Ah Mai’s disappearance, he quickly brought people over. On the way, he heard that someone had fallen into the water. He was still praying that it was not his grandson, Ah Mai. But whatever he was afraid of had happened. The scene in front of him almost killed him.
The old man walked to the child’s side. His throat was dry and he could barely speak. “My Ah Mai, he… he…”
Xiang Yin looked at the old man who appeared in front of him with his deep eyes. “Are you the child’s family?”
Although the old man was sad, he still had a trace of calmness. Looking at their wet clothes, he guessed that they must have been the ones who saved Ah Mai just now, so his expression relaxed a little and he replied, “I’m the child’s grandfather!”
Then, the old man said to the people he brought behind him in a low voice, “Hurry up and send Ah Mai to the hospital!”
Gu Man immediately said anxiously, “There’s no time to send him to the hospital!”
The child was already in such a state. How many more minutes could he wait? She had risked her life to save him. How could she watch him turn into a cold corpse?
The old master saw the silver needle bag that Gu Man had already opened. “Acupuncture?”
How could he trust a young lady of her age? But it was indeed too late to send Ah Mai to the hospital now. For the sake of his grandson, he could only take a gamble. The old man pondered for a moment. “How confident are you?”
Gu Man looked up at the old master. “You have no choice but to believe me!”
The old man, who had been focused on his grandson, did not notice this drenched girl. But now, when he looked at Gu Man’s raised face, he was in a daze for a moment. However, he quickly came back to his senses and seemed to have made a huge decision. “I’ll leave my grandson to you! Please do your best!”
“Old Master, how can you trust her? She’s so young! Let’s send Ah Mai to the hospital immediately!” a young woman begged.
She did not believe that Gu Man had such high medical skills at such a young age. She would never allow anyone to joke around with her son’s life. However, the old master had already made up his mind. It was not something she could change easily.
