Quick travel: the life of smuggling is so exciting

Chapter 63: Domestic Violence in the Era 18

During the busy farming season of about twenty days, everyone in the team, except Lin Xia and Zhong Wenyue, became thinner and darker. They went out early and came back late every day, so Lin Xia had no time to find fault with Sun Changjian during this period.

After harvesting the rice, we paid the public tax, distributed the grain and tickets, and slaughtered a pig. The village was filled with the joy of the harvest.

After a month of hard work, Zhong Wenyue had a few days off. She invited Lin Xia to go up the mountain to play, and she happily went.

There are many people going up the mountain today, especially children. The adults go to the market, and the children go into the mountains to play.

"Ah, help, someone come, my third brother was bitten by a snake." A child stumbled and ran over crying.

Lin Xia didn't react much. When the other adults present heard this, they all took their children and went to the scene of the incident.

Zhong Wenyue pulled Lin Xia's arm and followed.

When Lin Xia arrived, she saw that it was the secretary's child. The wound on his foot was purple and it was obvious that it was poisonous.

"What should we do? Xiaosan was bitten by a poisonous snake. Is the snake still there?" an adult asked anxiously.

"Uncle, it's in my hand, it's entangled with me, I dare not move." Xiao San cried and stretched out his right hand in front of the adult.

Wow, the man was so scared that he flew up, and his original movement to carry the person forward was frozen.

"Uncle, what should I do? Wuuwuwu." Xiao San cried so hard. Not only was she bitten, but the snake was also being held tightly by him. It was so scary...

Everyone hesitated and didn't know what to do. This was a poisonous snake, and it was alive. No one dared to touch it.

Based on the little medical ethics he had as a doctor in his previous life, and the little calculations in his heart that were unknown to others, Lin Xia calmly walked away from Zhong Wenyue and stepped forward.

"Sister Lin..." Behind her was Zhong Wenyue's Erkang hand. Before she could say anything, Lin Xia grabbed the snake's head and killed it with a sickle, successfully rescuing the child's hand.

"Do you want me to treat your wound? I don't think you can be saved if you are sent to the county."

The child was already panicking, and when he saw Lin Xia, he nodded with tears in his eyes.

"Xiao Lin, can you take responsibility if something happens? I've never heard that you have medical skills."

The frightened man jumped out to stop them and strongly demanded that the mistress be sent to the hospital immediately.

"This snake is very venomous. If there's any delay, it's okay as long as you can bear it." Lin Xia didn't move. He stood up and stood aside to let the other party operate.

If the other party hesitates, you can't blame him if something goes wrong later.

"Then you should come. It's your fault if something goes wrong anyway."

Lin Xia rolled her eyes at the other person, squatted down, tied a rope tightly around the child's wound, squeezed out the poisonous blood, and finally took out a few herbs from the backpack, let the child chew them up and apply them on the wound, then sprinkled the other person's clothes on and tied it up.

Finally, he gave the other party a few herbs and let him eat them directly.

The series of actions flow smoothly.

Others were a little confused, "How could Xiaolin know this?"

"Because I've been bitten by this kind of snake before."

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and then reacted inappropriately, "Then why do you have medicine in your backpack? Do you know it?"

"The county recycling station collects medicinal herbs. I make a little money with referrals."

Everyone's eyes lit up. They didn't expect to have such a gain. Lin Xia said nothing more and asked someone to carry the child down the mountain to the hospital for another check-up.

Several adults and children accompanied Xiao San'er as he left, while Lin Xia and Zhong Wenyue continued to wander around in the mountains.

Zhong Wenyue looked at Lin Xia with sparkling eyes, "Sister Lin, you are amazing, just like my mom. I wish you could study medicine."

"Haha, I will when I get a chance." Lin Xia decided to study Western medicine and major in surgery in three years. This skill can help her better understand the structure of the human body, and maybe it will come in handy for dismembering people someday.

Lin Xia saved the man not out of kindness. He was the grandson of the branch secretary. The college entrance examination would not be resumed for another three years, so she had to find a job. She thought the barefoot doctor in the brigade would be a good choice.

There was no barefoot doctor in their brigade. Firstly, it was very close to the county. Secondly, there used to be one, and she was the youngest daughter of the brigade leader. However, she once almost killed someone with medicine and was later removed. No one applied to be a barefoot doctor since then.

The brigade can recommend personnel, who then go to the county for training. If they pass the training, they can take up the position of village doctor. However, there is no establishment and no subsidies, only work points given by the brigade.

Things happened just as Lin Xia expected. That afternoon, she received a visit from the branch secretary's home.

"Xiao Lin, thank you so much this time. If you hadn't been here, my mistress would have been in danger." Li, the daughter-in-law of the branch secretary, thanked her fearfully. She was sincerely grateful to Lin Xia.

The branch secretary had a bad impression of Lin Xia before because of Zhang Qiang’s incident, but now that Lin Xia saved his grandson, he likes her very much.

There was also a look of relief on his face. Xiao San'er was his favorite grandson, and it was thanks to Lin Xia's timely rescue.

"How can I watch a child die? I will save him if I have the ability."

"That's because you have a kind heart, Xiaolin." The branch secretary understood that not everyone would be saved. Failing to save someone but getting into trouble has been a common practice since ancient times.

"Uncle has nothing to repay, but I can't let you take medicine for nothing, right?" After saying this, she winked at her daughter-in-law. Li immediately stepped forward and stuffed a big unity note to Lin Xia, while her mother-in-law put down a basket of eggs.

Lin Xia thought his family was quite generous. Ten dollars was a lot of money in the countryside. If it were someone else, they might just give a few eggs as a token of appreciation.

However, she refused to take it, pushed the money back, and said righteously: "Those medicinal herbs are worthless, how can I charge you for them? Take them back quickly, I didn't save people for a thank-you fee."

After two rounds of argument, Lin Xia said, "Uncle, if you really want to thank me, could you please make a recommendation for me? You know my health isn't very good, and it seems the village is in need of a barefoot doctor."

"That... okay, I'll go back and discuss it with the other members of the team. It seems Xiaolin has some basic skills, and our team just happens to be in need of such talent." The branch secretary agreed after thinking for a few seconds. It was a good deal to repay a life-saving favor by doing a small favor.

"Then I'll wait for your good news." Lin Xia said goodbye to the few people with a smile, with a basket of eggs at her feet.

When giving gifts in the countryside, it’s okay to take the money back, but if you take eggs back, you’ll be slapped in the face because the other members are watching.

Soon, Lin Xia received news at noon the next day that the village had agreed and her name had been reported.

Everything went smoothly. Now it was the slack season for farming, and it was time for a new round of training. Although the brigade submitted the quota late, they still squeezed Lin Xia into this round of training team.

The training location was in the county hospital, and the commuting time was too long every day. Lin Xia felt it was a waste of time every time she went there. All the interpersonal relationships flashed through her mind quickly, looking for a solution.

So after the afternoon training, Lin Xia came to Fang Fang's mother-in-law's house with brown sugar in her hand.
