Chapter 136: Rescuing People on the Train

When Xie Zheng was mentioned, Lu Ye's expression turned serious.

"Xiaobai, actually..."

He came to see her because he wanted to tell her about him and Xie Zheng.

If he doesn't tell her, Xie Zheng might make up stories about her in the future.

This will cause even bigger misunderstandings later.

"Actually what?" Bai Zhi met his eyes, gesturing for him to continue.

Lu Ye sat up straight, stopped peeling melon seeds, looked at Bai Zhi, pretending to chat, but his twisted fingers betrayed his nervousness. "Xie Zheng and I are childhood friends. Besides the two of us, there is another brother named Chen Guodong. He is now working at a research institution in Bincheng."

"In addition, there were two other girls who grew up with us in the compound, one named Shen Qian and the other named Xiao Wei."

Shen Qian...

When Bai Zhi heard this name, she paused slightly while eating sunflower seeds.

But she did not interrupt Lu Ye and continued to listen.

Lu Ye continued,

“The five of us are about the same age, and I’ve known them since I can remember.”

Bai Zhi asked him, "Hmm, what kind of work are those two girls doing now? I haven't seen them in the compound."

“Chen Qian is now a military doctor, as for Xiao Wei…” Lu Ye paused, his handsome face solemn, as if he didn’t know how to continue.

Bai Zhi didn't urge him. She continued eating sunflower seeds, patiently waiting for Lu Ye to say something next.

However, while Lu Ye remained silent, suddenly, the train attendant's urgent voice came over the train's public address system.

"Is there a doctor on the train? Could you please come to carriage number eight? Someone has fainted here."

"...Someone has fainted and needs medical attention."

Upon hearing the broadcast, Bai Zhi was slightly startled. She dropped the melon seeds in her hand and almost instinctively jumped off the bed.

Ye Rufeng, who was lying on the lower bunk next to him with his eyes closed and pretending to be asleep, also heard the broadcast.

"Grandpa, let's go quickly to carriage number eight and see what's going on."

Bai Zhi kept her silver needle pouch close at hand, and Ye Rufeng also carried his medicine box. The grandfather and grandson headed solemnly toward carriage number eight.

Lu Ye led the way for them.

"Please make way, everyone. We are doctors, and we are on our way to save lives."

With Lu Ye leading the way, Bai Zhi and Ye Rufeng smoothly entered carriage number eight.

Upon entering carriage number eight, it was extremely noisy, with many people blocking the way, making it impossible to move. Bai Zhi's clear voice asked, "We are doctors. May I ask where the patient is?"

"Here, here!" the flight attendant called out. "An auntie has fainted here. Could you please come and take a look?"

"Please make way, everyone, let's check on the patient's condition."

Soon, Bai Zhi approached the middle-aged woman who had fainted.

The woman was dressed elegantly, with her long hair tied up, but her face was pale and her body was very thin, as if she had a poor constitution and was often sick.

Bai Zhi touched the philtrum and then took the pulse.

She said to Ye Rufeng, "Grandpa, the patient is probably having a heart attack."

"Quickly, save them!"

Bai Zhi took out silver needles. "Where are the family members?"

"I...I'm a family member." A very pretty and stylish young woman, pale with fright, raised her hand.

Bai Zhi quickly sought the family's opinion, "We're going to start resuscitation on your mother now, do you have any objections?"

"I have no objection, please save my mom, sob sob."

"As long as the family trusts us, we will do our best." Bai Zhi said, checking the patient's condition before beginning to provide treatment.

"Grandpa, I'm afraid we need to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation first."

Bai Zhi gave the silver needles to Ye Rufeng, then knelt beside the patient and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

After about twenty repetitions, the patient showed no reaction.

Ye Rufeng's expression was extremely serious. Looking at the woman on the ground who showed no signs of waking up, he picked up the silver needles in his hand, intending to insert them.

Bai Zhi said,

"Grandpa, let me try CPR again."

Bai Zhi bent down and blew air into the lady's mouth.

The surrounding passengers, including the stylish young woman, were all dumbfounded by what they saw.

It was the late 1980s, after all, and medicine was not very advanced. Such emergency measures were probably only known to doctors in large hospitals. Seeing such a scene on a train was really jarring.

"This is......."

People around were whispering and gossiping, but Lu Ye, standing behind Bai Zhi, showed no surprise or confusion.

When Bai Zhi finished performing artificial respiration, the woman lying on the ground twitched her fingers.

"Mom, my mom's awake!" The patient's woman excitedly rushed to her side.

Bai Zhi stopped her, "Don't move yet, I need to give the patient an acupuncture now."

"Gentlemen, please step aside. I need to undress the patient to perform treatment."

Lu Ye worked with the flight attendants to maintain order and evacuate passengers, ensuring that Bai Zhi and Ye Rufeng could successfully carry out the rescue.

Then, Bai Zhi unbuttoned the middle-aged woman's clothes and performed acupuncture on her chest.

After about half an hour, the woman finally regained her senses.

She slowly turned her head and looked around blankly.

"Mom, Mom."

The stylish young girl grabbed the woman's hand and cried bitterly, "You scared me to death!"

"Alright, let's help him up and sit on the bed first, the floor is too cold."

Bai Zhi and the girl helped the middle-aged woman up. The girl then gestured to Bai Zhi and Ye Rufeng, introducing them to her mother.

"Mom, it was this pretty lady who saved you."

"Young lady, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have lost my life here." The woman was still very weak, and her voice was barely audible, but she was very well-mannered and spoke in a soft voice that was very pleasant to listen to.

"Xiaoyue, quickly thank the doctor."

"Thank you, beautiful lady."

The girl named Xiaoyue looked at Baizhi and asked sincerely, "May I ask your surname?"

“My surname is Bai, and that is my maternal grandfather. He is Dr. Ye, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor at Derentang in Bincheng.”

Bai Zhi specifically mentioned her maternal grandfather's name.

She just took this lady's pulse; she has coronary heart disease, and her condition is quite serious.

Timely treatment may be necessary.

Upon hearing that there was an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor beside Bai Zhi, the woman nodded, "I see. No wonder your medical skills are so superb."

"Xiaoyue, quickly pay the doctors' consultation fees."

Bai Zhi waved her hand and declined, "No need, it's just a small favor."

The person is out of danger and now needs to rest. Bai Zhi began packing her things, planning to leave.

When Lu Ye came over to help her with her bag, his gaze fell on the woman on the lower bunk.

Upon seeing the woman's face, his pupils dilated in shock, and the hand holding the cloth bag trembled slightly involuntarily.

When the woman met Lu Ye's gaze, she looked up and met his eyes.

Their eyes met, and Lu Ye's eyes showed surprise, shock, and a more complex mix of emotions. After staring at each other for three or four seconds, he finally managed to speak, "You are... Aunt Mu?"

Hearing the voice earlier, he felt a sense of familiarity. Now that he could see the other person's face clearly, Lu Ye tried to confirm their identity.
