Chapter 238: Saving People
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qian Erhu should never have fallen victim to the brutality inflicted by those individuals. Shockingly, they subjected Qian Erhu to a merciless beating, crossing all bounds of decency.
Their actions were egregiously inhumane.
For the very first time, he realized the sheer folly of his association with these individuals.
He now felt resolute in severing all ties with them.
Qian Erhu’s suffering was inextricably linked to him.
The thought of Qian Erhu perishing left him burdened with a lifelong sense of grievance.
Consequently, he resolved to implore Qin Zhenzhen to intervene and rescue Qian Erhu.
A sense of duty compelled Qin Zhenzhen, as a practitioner of medicine, to not forsake them. She opted to assess the situation firsthand.
Softly, Su Bin confided in Qin Zhenzhen, “If you lack the confidence to ensure his survival, there’s no need to proceed. I’ll shoulder the responsibility.”
Effectively, he intended to assume the blame.
Qin Zhenzhen admitted that Qian Erhu’s chances were uncertain.
If she were to falter in saving him, her reputation and future prospects would be shattered.
Qin Zhenzhen regarded Su Bin with astonishment.
Was he truly expressing concern for her well-being?
Did he genuinely value her reputation over Qian Erhu’s life?
It mirrored the perspective of a classic antagonist.
Impelled by this, Qin Zhenzhen felt compelled to impart her perspective on the proper way to live.
“In any case, preserving a life outweighs constructing a towering monument. I shall proceed to ascertain if there’s a chance to rescue him.”
Addressing Qian Dashan, Qin Zhenzhen conveyed, “My expertise lies in medicine, yet I don’t possess miraculous abilities. The fate of his recovery hinges on the specifics of his condition.”
She also took the opportunity to discuss the potential outcome of an unsuccessful intervention, preparing them for any possible disappointment. Qian Dashan displayed continuous nods, affirming, “I understand… I understand. Thank you… thank you!”
The urban center wasn’t too far from Qian Village.
Qian Erhu lay in a state of unconsciousness, though the head wound had ceased bleeding.
The attending physician had forecasted that he wouldn’t succumb immediately, but the prospects of his awakening remained dim.
To be succinct, the likelihood of survival was less than 20%.
Upon arriving at the clinic, Qin Zhenzhen and the others were met with the sounds of Ms. Lin’s anguished wails from within.
“Erhu, please awaken now, cease tormenting me…”
“If you stay in slumber, I’ll find it unbearable to continue…”
“Kindly, just unveil your eyes and catch a glimpse, my child!”
After shedding tears for an extended duration, her voice had grown raspy.
Upon noticing Qin Zhenzhen’s arrival, the medical personnel respectfully stepped aside.
Ms. Lin’s weeping ceased. She fixated her gaze upon Qin Zhenzhen, who was diligently attending to Qian Erhu, with a glimmer of hope.
Concussion happens when there’s a minor brain injury. What was typical was that after the injury, a short spell of unconsciousness follows. This could last a few minutes or even more than ten, but usually less than half an hour.
However, some patients suddenly lose consciousness without passing out. For others, they stay unconscious for quite a while, and sadly, some even die.
Qian Erhu was in one of those situations. It occurred because the violence affected his brain stem through its deep parts.
On top of the concussion, he was bleeding heavily. Given his state, just using needles wouldn’t be enough to wake him up.
The clinic doctor told Qin Zhenzhen they’d tried acupuncture already, but it hadn’t worked.
Qian Erhu’s lips were shut tight, and he couldn’t take in the spiritual water. So, Qin Zhenzhen began by dripping it onto his wound, letting it seep into his bloodstream that way.
Next, she dissolved a pill in water, mixed it with the spiritual water, opened Qian Erhu’s mouth, and poured it in.
Qin Zhenzhen decided to have only one doctor and Qian Dashan with her. She didn’t allow anyone else to come close..
