Chapter 195 Saving Lives with Intravenous Infusions in Ancient Times

Jiang Yutang's heart sank instantly. After hanging up the phone, she paced anxiously around the room.

At least forty or fifty people in the village have been infected, and without enough medicine, they simply cannot be saved.

Just when she was at her wit's end, a person suddenly flashed into her mind.

Willow Glasses.

With a try-it-and-see attitude, Jiang Yutang dialed Liu Yanjing's number.

Liu, who seemed surprised that he would ask for his help, hesitated for a moment, and then readily agreed.

Two hours later, a large truck drove up to the warehouse entrance.

Looking at the truck full of life-saving supplies, her heart finally settled down.

This time, without having time to purchase other goods, after closing the warehouse door, he once again traveled back to ancient times.

Only a faint moonlight shone down on the dark mountain behind.

Jiang Yutang stood in front of the mountain of medicines and equipment. After making sure she could see the mountain path ahead, she quickly returned to the village.

"The medicine is here! Someone come quick and help!" Jiang Yutang shouted.

The once quiet village was instantly lit up with flickering lights, and the villagers, upon hearing the news, rushed out of their homes, covering themselves with their clothes.

The group followed her to the back of the mountain and carried the medicine into the village in an orderly manner.

Back in the village, Jiang Yutang immediately found the village chief and said seriously, "Village chief, could you please organize everyone to set up a few temporary tents and gather all the villagers who need treatment in the tents so that we can take care of them afterward?"

"Okay! I'll arrange it right away!" The village chief turned around and shouted in a loud voice.

The villagers were incredibly efficient; even late at night, they all set to work with bonfires. Everyone had a clear division of labor and worked with great enthusiasm.

While the villagers were busy setting up tents, Jiang Yutang found Dr. Xu, pulled her aside, took out intravenous syringes, IV bottles, and disinfectant supplies from a box, and got straight to the point.

"Dr. Xu, I'm going to teach you a new treatment method now: intravenous injection." She picked up a needle and handed it to Dr. Xu to look at.

"The medicine is administered directly into the patient's bloodstream through this needle, which allows the medicine to take effect as quickly as possible and save these critically ill villagers."

"Injecting medication into a blood vessel?"

Dr. Xu stared at the thin needle, momentarily stunned, his eyes filled with hesitation: "This...is this really okay? Won't it harm the villagers?"

"Of course, don't worry."

Jiang Yutang said firmly, "Just treat it as a special kind of 'acupuncture'!"

As she spoke, she skillfully put on sterilizing gloves and picked up a set of equipment: "Come with me, and you'll see for yourself."

The tents had already been set up, and several seriously ill villagers were helped inside.

They saw Jiang Yutang holding a thin syringe, and although they were a little apprehensive, they were willing to try because of their trust in her.

Jiang Yutang located a vein in a villager's arm, disinfected the wound, inserted the needle, secured the syringe, and adjusted the infusion rate—a series of actions performed with practiced ease.

After giving acupuncture to three villagers in a row, she turned to look at Dr. Xu, who was watching her intently from the side.

"You give it a try. Don't worry, I'll be watching you."

Dr. Xu took a deep breath and picked up the syringe with trembling hands.

She has been practicing medicine for many years, but her acupuncture skills are not very proficient. This is her first time trying it, and her fingertips still tremble uncontrollably.

"Don't panic," Jiang Yutang said softly from the side.

"This is the only way to save them. After we open a pharmacy and clinic, this skill can help more people. To build a good reputation for our clinic, we must continuously improve our medical skills."

Dr. Xu nodded, closed her eyes and calmed herself for a moment. She then followed Jiang Yutang's example and made her first attempt.

"It's done!"

As the medicine slowly flowed into the villagers' bodies, Dr. Xu gradually gained confidence, and the subsequent procedures became smoother and smoother.

Jiang Yutang nodded with satisfaction and turned to treat the other villagers.

The two worked tirelessly throughout the night, constantly changing the medication and checking on the patients. If any villager experienced an adverse reaction, they would immediately make adjustments.

Fortunately, everything went relatively smoothly, and no serious accidents occurred.

As dawn broke, most of the villagers in the tents were already fast asleep, their sickly redness had faded considerably, and their breathing had become steady.

Jiang Yutang and Doctor Xu walked out of the tent and sat side by side on the stone steps at the entrance, gazing at the distant hillside that was turning a pale white, and remained silent for a moment.

For some reason, Jiang Yutang suddenly thought of Cheng Lanzhou and Jiang Huaiyu, and a wave of longing welled up in her heart, instantly bringing tears to her eyes.

Just then, the village chief's voice came from behind.

"Madam Cheng, Dr. Xu, thank you for your hard work."

The two turned around and saw the village chief walking over carrying two steaming bowls of noodles.

"There's nothing good in the village, so I just cooked two bowls of noodles. Eat them while they're hot to warm yourselves up."

The two quickly took the bowl and thanked him softly.

The warm noodles dispelled the fatigue and chill of the night.

The village chief sat down to the side and asked with concern, "Madam Cheng, how are the villagers doing now?"

Jiang Yutang swallowed the noodles in her mouth and said with a smile, "It's alright now. The medicine has taken effect. As long as I take the medicine on time and take precautions against mosquitoes, I will gradually recover."

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Remembering the swamp on the back mountain, Jiang Yutang asked again, "Village Chief, what are your plans regarding the swamp on the back mountain?"

Upon hearing this, the village chief's face immediately darkened, and he shook his head and sighed.

“I was firmly against digging into the swamp, but I couldn’t withstand the pressure from the government. They said they would arrest people and punish them if we didn’t cooperate. Now that this has happened, if it weren’t for your compassion and willingness to save us, I’m afraid the whole village would have perished here.”

In the end, the village chief straightened his previously hunched back, his eyes resolute.

"No matter what, we will definitely not let this go, we will definitely get justice!"

Jiang Yutang took a sip of the noodle soup and nodded.

On the eve of his departure, Jiang Yutang handed out the pre-packaged antimalarial drugs to the sick villagers one by one, repeatedly reminding them: "Take your medicine on time. I will come back to check on everyone's condition tomorrow. If you feel unwell, come to the store to find me immediately."

After explaining everything, Jiang Yutang and Doctor Xu planned to go back to rest.

The village chief quickly arranged for two villagers to take them back in an oxcart.

With the slight swaying of the car, the two of them almost immediately fell into a deep sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, the oxcart was already parked in front of the shop.

The two women got out of the car, rubbing their sleepy eyes. After thanking the villagers who had brought them back, they went into the shop.

As soon as they entered the shop, they saw Madam Yun approaching with a worried expression. She grabbed Jiang Yutang's hand and asked anxiously, "You're finally back! How is the situation in the village?"

Jiang Yutang forced a tired smile and patted Yun Shi's hand: "Mother, everything is fine now. We'll go to the village again tomorrow to check on everyone's recovery."

As she spoke, she pointed to Dr. Xu, who also looked haggard, standing beside her.

"We're both so tired, we want to go back and take a shower and rest for a bit."

"Alright, alright, go quickly!" Madam Yun nodded repeatedly, then turned and called out to the backyard, "Master, come quickly! Help Tang'er and Doctor Xu boil some water!"

After washing up, the two went straight to sleep and slept until evening.

When I woke up, I could hear my older brothers talking in the yard.
