Rebooting 60, let's go on a rampage with the orange cat!
Chapter 90 Acupuncture to Save Life
On the swaying train, Li Huaiyuan had just returned from the restroom and complained, "There are too many people. Even the restrooms are packed. It's impossible to get through..."
He had barely sat down, not even having had time to warm up, when he was surprised to find that Chung Han-che had successfully found a part-time job and was chatting with several middle-aged men.
Unable to contain his curiosity, he quickly leaned closer and listened intently.
After a short while, Li Huaiyuan turned around, gave a thumbs-up to Huai'an and the others beside him, and said, "Wow, I really didn't expect Brother Zhong to be so amazing! No wonder he's a college student, his mind is so sharp!" He finished speaking with a face full of admiration.
Hearing this, Huai'an smiled slightly, thinking to himself: In his previous life, Zhong Hanzhe was a shrewd businessman, but unfortunately, his education was limited. Now, not only has he attended university and gained knowledge, he's practically a tiger with wings! He's completely different from before!
However, deep down she knew that her true ambitions lay elsewhere. She had absolutely no interest in the cutthroat, cutthroat world of business. Instead, the medical field was where she had always dreamed of exploring it deeply and pursuing excellence.
In her eyes, medicine is not just a discipline, but a great force capable of saving lives and alleviating suffering. Whenever she thinks about how her efforts can help patients regain their health and see the grateful smiles on their faces, her heart is deeply moved. This sense of accomplishment far surpasses any satisfaction that money can bring.
Of course, this doesn't mean she's completely ignorant about or uninterested in investing. With keen insight and a precise grasp of future trends, she knows exactly when to act decisively and seize crucial opportunities. When the time is right, a simple move can easily yield unimaginable success. But even so, these investment achievements are merely aids on her path to realizing her medical dreams, not her ultimate goal.
She gently closed her eyes, allowing herself to immerse herself in a moment of tranquility. After all, the journey to the provincial capital would only take a few hours, and according to the current itinerary, she would arrive at her destination around noon. However, the thought of the upcoming crowds and frequent boarding and alighting sent a jolt of headache through her, but she could only silently endure it.
In stark contrast, Shi Renmei and Xiuzhi appeared exceptionally excited, showing no signs of fatigue. They sat side-by-side near the window, their eyes captivated by the vast fields rushing past. The emerald green wheat seedlings swayed gently in the breeze, resembling a green ocean; the distant mountains stretched out in undulating waves, like a giant dragon winding its way through the landscape. This picturesque scenery elicited repeated exclamations of wonder and heartfelt praise from them throughout the journey.
Finally, the midday sun shone brightly on the earth, and the train slowly pulled into the provincial capital's station. People getting off were packing their luggage, and another commotion arose in the carriage.
After Zhong Hanzhe helped Huaiyuan pack his things, he said to Huai'an, "Shi Huai'an, I need to go to the factory with Director Zhang and the others first. I'll come find you after I return to Beijing."
Huai'an nodded to indicate that he understood, without saying anything or refusing. Xiuzhi glanced at them, and fearing that Zhong Hanzhe would feel awkward, she quickly added, "Okay, be careful yourself, and keep an eye on things when you're out and about."
Li Huaiyuan couldn't help but whisper to Zhong Hanzhe, "Could it be a scam? Brother Zhong, don't fall into a trap."
Upon hearing this, Factory Director Zhang quickly took out his work ID and letter of introduction from his briefcase and said, "Don't worry, we're not scammers."
Shi Renmei chuckled and said, "What's there for a young man to be afraid of? He's not a young woman who's afraid of being kidnapped and sold."
Xiuzhi patted the old man with a smile, and said apologetically, "Look at what you're saying, I was just worried."
Everyone burst into laughter, and Chung Han-che quickly said, "Thank you, uncles and aunts. I will be careful, don't worry."
When they arrived at the station, Chung Han-che waved goodbye to everyone and hurriedly got off the train with Director Zhang and his group, heading straight towards the leather goods factory, thus parting ways with the others.
Meanwhile, Liu Qingshan had been waiting at the train station exit for quite some time. When he saw Huai'an and his group appear, a warm smile immediately spread across his face. He quickly went forward to greet them warmly and led them to his home to rest for a while.
In the afternoon, Liu Qingshan also acted as a guide, leading everyone on a tour of the provincial capital's streets and alleys, allowing them to appreciate the city's unique charm and scenery.
They had a great time in the provincial capital for two days. Huai'an also left Liu Qingshan a set of exquisite porcelain and a variety of gifts from J City as presents. On the third day, the four of them boarded the train to Beijing.
This time it's a sleeper train. Shi Renmei and Xiuzhi are in the lower berths, Li Huaiyuan is in the upper berth, and Huai'an is in the lower berth. We won't arrive in Beijing until the next morning.
Shi Huai'an had prepared food for the journey in advance. In addition to fruit, he also prepared instant noodles, beef jerky, braised eggs, bread, and nutritional rice cereal (the rice cereal is made by mixing oatmeal, wheat germ, corn flour, pure coconut powder, flaxseed powder, etc., and can be eaten by simply adding boiling water).
Instant noodles didn't exist in this era; they only appeared in the 1970s. But Huai'an didn't care about that. Trains and instant noodles were the perfect match. How could you experience the unique green train without the addition of instant noodles? Fortunately, Zhong Hanzhe wasn't on the same train, otherwise, with his keen insight, he probably wouldn't have been so easily fooled.
When it was time for dinner, Huai'an deftly took four lunchboxes from her bag. These were instant noodles whose fancy packaging she had already torn off before she took them out of that magical space. Now, the noodles and seasoning packets were laid out plainly, without any unnecessary embellishment. She skillfully placed them together into the lunchboxes she carried with her, ready to enjoy them at any time.
Next comes the most crucial step—pouring in boiling water. The moment the hot water meets the noodles and seasonings, a wondrous chemical reaction unfolds. The distinctive aroma of instant noodles, as if by magic, quickly spreads throughout the carriage. That rich fragrance, like an invisible hand, firmly grasps the olfactory nerves of everyone in the entire car.
For a moment, people sitting in both the front and back rows couldn't help but swallow hard. They all curiously peeked out, wanting to find out what kind of food could emit such an enticing aroma.
A little boy couldn't help but drool and ask, "What is this? Why does it smell so good?" As he spoke, he unconsciously moved closer to Huai'an, as if he wanted to get some of that mouthwatering aroma as well.
Huai'an was a little helpless, so he had the child bring him a bowl and give him half a bowl. The little boy ate it happily with snot running down his face. The child's mother was embarrassed and quickly brought a large handful of walnuts and red dates to thank Huai'an.
After all, at this time, most people were only holding ordinary steamed buns, dumplings, or flatbreads. Only a few people with slightly better means would choose to go to the dining car and order a few dishes to treat their taste buds.
But it was impossible to share too much with others, since good intentions could arouse suspicion. Shi Renmei and Xiuzhi, on the other hand, were used to it and calmly enjoyed the surprise their daughter brought, as if there was nothing their daughter couldn't do, and they were not surprised at all.
Huai'an and her family were leisurely enjoying this unique delicacy. Instant noodles paired with fragrant beef jerky and savory braised eggs were being devoured one bite after another with great relish. Her satisfied expression seemed to tell everyone around her that she was savoring the most delicious food in the world.
Li Huaiyuan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but exclaim loudly while wolfing down his noodles, "Wow! This tastes absolutely amazing! I've lived for so long and I've never tasted such delicious noodles before!"
Meanwhile, Fat Orange Dodo was eating dried fish in the middle bunk of Huai'an's room, admiring the view outside the window. Hearing Li Huaiyuan's exaggerated and unsophisticated manner, he was quite disdainful, meowing softly. "You don't even know as much as Fat Orange Dodo..."
On the train, a sudden announcement broke the tranquility of the journey.
An emergency announcement on the train sought medical assistance: "Passengers, a passenger in carriage 3 has suddenly fallen ill and requires emergency medical care. If you are a doctor or nurse, please contact the train attendant immediately. Thank you!" The announcement was repeated three times.
Upon hearing the announcement, Shi Huai'an immediately stood up. She was currently in sleeper car number 8, while car number 3 was a hard seat car. Squeezing through the crowded passengers wouldn't be easy, so she quickly went to the attendant's office to explain that she had studied traditional Chinese medicine for six years, was a student at Beijing Medical University, and showed the attendant letters of introduction from her school and neighborhood.
Flight attendant Xiao Fan was a tall young man in his twenties. He was initially a little distrustful of Shi Huai'an, who looked to be only fourteen or sixteen years old. However, after seeing the letter of introduction and hearing the announcement urging people to seek medical help, he thought he might as well take her to try. If they couldn't find any other medical staff, they would have to try this as a last resort.
With the tall train attendants leading the way, the congested crowd consciously made way to both sides, and they soon arrived at carriage number 3.
The patient was found lying on the uneven ground between carriages 2 and 3. His jaw was clenched, he was breathing rapidly, foaming at the mouth, and convulsing. Another train attendant was already there with a young man, providing first aid.
The young man appeared unusually calm. He squatted down and quickly examined and diagnosed the patient, initially determining that the patient was experiencing an acute epileptic seizure.
After confirming the patient's condition, the young man immediately began emergency treatment. Due to the limited conditions on the train, he could only turn the patient's head to one side and find a pair of disposable chopsticks on the spot. He placed them between the patient's upper and lower jaws and lifted the lower jaw to prevent tongue biting, aspiration, or tongue retraction, and promptly cleared any foreign objects from the patient's mouth.
After about 6 minutes of treatment, the patient's convulsions stopped, but he was still somewhat confused. However, after a short while, he started convulsing again.
The young man and the train attendant together carried the patient to a level aisle to minimize the shaking caused by the train's movement. However, the patient continued to convulse.
With a solemn expression, Huai'an stepped forward, slowly squatted down, and gently placed her right hand on the patient's wrist, carefully taking his pulse. After a moment, she looked up at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Comrade, may I try?"
The young man looked on with suspicion, his gaze fixed on the girl who appeared to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. He asked sternly, "Do you have a medical license? This is not something you can joke about!"
Just then, an older train attendant with a kind face but a slightly anxious expression walked over and quickly said, "I am Yue Tong, the train conductor of this train. Young man, could you tell us which unit you are from?"
Shi Huai'an took a deep breath, composed himself, and replied, "The previous treatment of this comrade was indeed very appropriate, but after examining his pulse, I discovered that the patient actually has some other problems. If not addressed promptly, he may temporarily stop breathing, thus endangering his life. I am a student majoring in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Beijing Medical University, and I can currently treat him with acupuncture to help alleviate his symptoms and stop his convulsions. Once the train arrives at the station, you can transfer him to the local hospital for further emergency treatment. Does that seem acceptable to you?"
The young man's previously calm face instantly showed a look of surprise. He stared wide-eyed at Huai'an, about to ask further questions, but the patient in front of him, who was convulsing, suddenly became unstable again. Not only did he foam at the mouth, but his body also began to convulse uncontrollably. The situation was becoming increasingly critical!
Faced with this sudden situation, Shi Huai'an had no time to think. She quickly took out a set of silver needles from her medical bag and skillfully and decisively inserted them into the patient's face and head. This set of acupuncture techniques was called the Nine Needles for Rejuvenating Yang, a skill that Shi Huai'an had long mastered. At this moment, she was completely focused on performing the acupuncture, each needle embodying her profound medical skills accumulated over many years and her determination to save lives.
The young man wasn't idle either; he remained tensely crouched beside the patient, closely monitoring their every move. He carefully lifted the patient's head slightly to ensure their breathing remained unobstructed.
At the same time, he gently pressed down on the patient's limbs with both hands to prevent the patient from injuring themselves due to excessive convulsions. In this way, the young man and Shi Huaian worked closely together, doing their best to provide emergency care to the patient and strive to stabilize the patient's condition as soon as possible.
After a while, the patient finally calmed down. About half an hour later, the train arrived at a station. Huai'an and the train crew helped put the patient into the ambulance and made a detailed handover with the 120 emergency doctor.
Train conductor Yue Tong expressed his gratitude to the two doctors he had never met before and asked for their work address. The young man simply said, "As doctors, saving lives is our duty. We will always step forward without hesitation at any time."
He turned to Huai'an and said repeatedly, "I am Ren Weimin, a teaching assistant at Beijing Medical University. The school is currently preparing to open a discipline of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. How long have you been studying acupuncture? What kind of acupuncture technique do you use? Would you like to come to our department?"
Huai An smiled slightly and said, "I am currently pursuing a combined bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine. I don't want to change my major for the time being, but I will definitely be involved in Western medicine as well."
Ren Weimin's seat was in carriage 6. They chatted with the train conductor as they walked back. When they reached carriage 5, Huai'an glanced at a woman next to him and caught her attention...
