My domineering ex-husband is living off his wife in ancient times.

Chapter 75 Misfortunes Never Come Alone

Everyone rushed to see how Da Niu was doing, while Lin could only stay where she was, holding the unconscious Zhao.

Shiro carried the ox on his back and placed it on the flat ridge of the field.

Blood foam kept oozing from Da Niu's mouth, the bright red color stinging the eyes of everyone present.

There was no doctor present, but everyone knew that Cheng Ruoan was studying medicine under Doctor Hu, so they all urged her to come and take a look first.

But when he turned around, he didn't see Cheng Ruoan.

Because Cheng Ruoan was holding Si Nian and pulling on the man driving the donkey cart!

"Your donkey went mad and injured my child! Where do you think you're going?!"

The man struggled fiercely, shouting, "Your man even injured my donkey, and I haven't even asked you for compensation yet, and you're still making trouble for me?!"

That donkey's madness is beyond my control, let it go!

Cheng Ruoan was furious: "If you can't control the donkey, what kind of donkey cart are you driving?! Now that something has happened, I haven't asked you to pay compensation immediately, but you should at least help call the village doctor over, right?"

The man complained, "I'm injured too! I'm injured too! Why are you being so unreasonable? Let go of me, and I'll go find a doctor, okay?"

Cheng Ruoan didn't want to argue with him anymore: "We're all from Sijia Village. You can run away today, but you can't run away tomorrow. Take me to the village doctor now!"

Even without looking at Da Niu, she knew that the impact was quite severe.

Whether we find a doctor or not, we can't let this person go!

Upon hearing her words, the man knew that this woman was not easily fooled; he was afraid that if the donkey really killed someone, he would have to pay compensation.

This donkey wasn't originally his; he stole it while the Si family was away.

Thinking of this, the man's eyes darted around, and he reached out to hit the child in Cheng Ruoan's arms.

As Cheng Ruoan watched his rough, large hand come toward Si Nian's head, she loosened her grip to dodge, causing the man to run away.

He ran along the country road further away, not back into the village.

Cheng Ruoan's chest heaved with anger. "Damn it! What kind of person is he?!"

But Si Silang shouted loudly, "Third Sister-in-law, come quickly and see Da Niu, he's vomited a lot of blood!"

Having no other choice, Cheng Ruoan had to give up chasing the perpetrator and hurry over to check on Da Niu.

When Cheng Ruoan got over there, she felt a wave of dizziness: "He was knocked over by a donkey! Why are you moving him like that?!"

During the two months on the road, Cheng Ruoan was pulled aside by Dr. Hu to learn medical skills and principles, and also took the opportunity to popularize many commonly used first aid measures to everyone.

In ancient times, the lack of medical care and medicine meant that many minor accidents, illnesses, and injuries could be fatal.

No matter how much a family can learn, even just CPR and the Heimlich maneuver is good.

"As I said before, in this situation, the child's sternum is very likely to be fractured. If you move the child around carelessly, and bone fragments pierce internal organs, even a miracle won't save them!"

Si Silang slapped himself twice: "It's my fault, it's my fault. I panicked and messed things up. Third Sister-in-law, quickly check Da Niu's pulse!"

Cheng Ruoan choked up.

She has only been studying medicine for two months, and most of her knowledge is still theoretical. She hasn't even mastered the art of pulse diagnosis yet, so how could she treat such a serious injury?

After calming down, Cheng Ruoan asked Qi Biaotou for help: "Please go to the county town and bring my master here as soon as possible."

"it is good!"

Qi, the镖头 (bodyguard), hitched up a horse-drawn carriage and sped off.

Cheng Ruoan handed Si Nian to his mother and squatted down to check on Da Niu's condition.

Da Niu lay on the ground, blood still oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"It looks like internal bleeding..."

Cheng Ruoan was really at her wit's end. If she had learned even a tiny fraction of Dr. Hu's acupuncture techniques, she could have stopped the bleeding by simply inserting a couple of needles.

But unfortunately, she hasn't learned anything yet!

"Third Aunt, my brother..." Da Hu knelt on the ground, holding Da Niu's hand, and looked up at Cheng Ruoan with teary eyes.

Da Hua knelt down beside him, hugged him, and held his head in her arms. "Be good, don't bother your aunt. It's alright, Da Niu is alright..."

She was already so frightened that her face turned deathly pale.

But I forced myself to calm down and stay composed.

"Internal bleeding..."

Without acupuncture point sealing...

"Yunnan Baiyao Insurance!"

Cheng Ruoan suddenly realized that this was a miraculous medicine that could save lives from internal injuries.

With a blink of an eye, she took out a small brown porcelain bottle from her bosom, opened it, pulled out the cork, and took out a clump of fluffy white cotton.

Everyone saw Cheng Ruoan find a tiny red ball in the cotton; it was very small, about the size of a booger.

Cheng Ruoan: "Pry open the cow's mouth and try feeding it this."

"Okay, okay." Si Shilang took the small amount of things with trembling hands.

But Da Niu had completely lost consciousness and was vomiting blood, so Bao Zi couldn't feed him.

Si Silang anxiously asked Cheng Ruoan, "Third Sister-in-law, it's not working. Can we pour water down her throat?"

Cheng Ruoan frowned: "No, he'll choke if you pour water on him like this."

Shao Yang walked over and said, "I'll do it."

He pried open Da Niu's mouth, placed the safety device as deep as possible in Da Niu's throat, and then closed Da Niu's mouth. After that, he pressed several acupoints on the child's chest.

Cheng Ruoan clearly saw a swallowing motion in the big ox's throat.

She suddenly realized something and asked, "Brother-in-law, could you help him with acupressure, like sealing off his blood circulation?"

Shao Yang paused for a moment, as if searching his memory for relevant information. After a while, he said, "I'm not sure if it will work, but let's give it a try."

He then pressed several acupoints on Da Niu's body.

While we can't save the child's life, stopping the continuous vomiting of blood can reduce the amount of bleeding and give them a chance to live.

Seeing that the blood from Da Niu's mouth was decreasing, Lin Shi weakly spoke up: "Third Sister-in-law, come and see, Mother has also fainted..."

Cheng Ruoan felt a sudden headache.

Zhao fainted again. She didn't know how to take Zhao's pulse and had no way of judging Zhao's current condition.

This ancestor had a history of stroke.

Cheng Ruoan could only say, "Fourth sister-in-law, try pinching Mother's philtrum to see if you can wake her up. If that doesn't work, we'll just have to wait for Doctor Hu to come."

Cheng Ruoan turned around and saw Li Shi with her two children, Ershuan and Erzhu, the three of them huddled together, trembling.

She called out to them with a hint of exasperation, "Li Xianglan, stop hugging them. Tell them to hurry into the village and find their father and third uncle, and tell them that something has happened here."

"Okay, okay."

As soon as Li let go, the two children stumbled and ran away together.

Cheng Ruoan was truly exhausted.

That's how the second wife is; she always chickens out when something happens.

If you don't make arrangements, they'll never know what to do.

When Si Shaoheng and Si Erlang returned, Cheng Ruoan realized what it meant to have "misfortunes never come singly, but blessings never come in pairs."
