Chapter 232 - Rising From the Dead (1/2)
[Master, that person hasn’t died yet. The soul hasn’t left the body, my bathwater can save that person!] The little divine stone had sensed Xiaocao’s sadness, so it quickly transformed into a golden kitten, reminding her in a child-like tone.
When Yu Xiaocao heard that, she recalled that the little divine stone had once said that when it was at the peak of its power, it was able to bring a person back from the dead. The little divine stone recently recovered a lot of its spiritual power. Since he said that he can save her uncle, then there would be no problem!
Xiaocao wiped away the tears on her cheeks and stepped forward, pulling the three crying children aside. She said, “Please move aside! I’ve studied medicine before, let me take a look!”
After she said that, she put her finger on Liu Hu’s pulse, quietly feeling his pulse for a while. She realized that his pulse was indeed still beating weakly. Mhm! He could still be saved! Xiaocao quickly took out a small and delicate jade bottle from her embroidered pouch. She lightly pinched open Liu Hu’s mouth and carefully poured the mystic-stone liquid into his mouth.
“Father! Bring the water bag!” Liu Hu had lost the ability to swallow, she must use water for him to wash down the mystic-stone liquid.
At this time, Yu Caifeng slowly woke up from Yu Hai’s arms. As if she suddenly remembered something, she stood straight up and was about to rush toward her man. Yu Hai hurriedly pulled her back and comforted her, “Older Brother-in-law might still be saved. Cao’er is treating him right now.”
“Young lady, I beg you, you must save my husband! If he dies, I… then I won’t live either! I beg you, please save him!” A final ray of hope flashed in Yu Caifeng’s eyes. Could someone who stopped breathing come back to life? She didn’t dare to think about it and only hoped that God will bless them with a miracle again.
Yu Xiaocao asked her father to open Liu Hu’s mouth. Her heart finally felt relieved after feeding him two mouthfuls of water. She recalled the method to do CPR in her previous life.
About a third of the way below his sternum, she placed her left palm on his chest. Then she placed her right palm on top of her left palm, with her arms straight, she pressed down thirty times using her upper body strength. As she did that, she said to her father, “Father, follow my instructions: pinch uncle’s nose and blow into his mouth——blow…”
“Not like that! Your mouth must block uncle’s mouth while you blow forcefully into his mouth!” Xiaocao saw that his father was far from the patient’s mouth as he blew air into his mouth. Despite finding the scene to be quite funny, she quickly corrected him.
Yu Hai awkwardly raised his head and looked at his brother-in-law’s lips. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t do it.
“I’ll do it!” Yu Caifeng had finally found a thread of hope from her desperation. She could throw away her reputation and her face as long as she could save her man’s life! Under the watchful eyes of other people, she blocked the man’s mouth with her mouth, giving him artificial respiration under Xiaocao’s guidance.
It wasn’t known whether it was Xiaocao’s CPR or the mystic-stone water that had worked, but Liu Hu was finally able to breathe on his own after two minutes. Seeing her husband’s chest moving up and down weakly, Yu Caifeng covered her face and wept noiselessly——these were tears of joy of regaining something again after losing it!
Liu Hu slowly opened his eyes and saw his tearful wife as well as his children crying in low voices. He lifted his withered hand and tightly pulled his wife’s hand. He had sensed just now that he was about to approach the last moment of his life. The instant he closed his eyes, his heart was filled with reluctance and nostalgia.
He didn’t know if his wife would still be able to live so willfully like before without his care. How would his children grow up and how would the family survive in the future without him? However, he had, fortunately, overcome this hurdle again. His body was like an arrow that was reaching the end of its flight until he felt a small life force flowing in his body. Each of his exhausted organs seemed to glow with vitality.
“Oldest Aunt, give Uncle some water! Patients need to replenish themselves with water!” Xiaocao secretly dropped two drops of mystic-stone liquid into the water. The patient’s body was still very weak, so drinking some mystic-stone water would be very helpful for future recovery.
Yu Caifeng took the water bag; her eyes were full of gratitude. Her husband had clearly stopped breathing just now. It was thanks to her young niece, who had given him some magical elixir and taught her how to give air to her man, that her husband was able to return from the gates of hell. She couldn’t imagine and didn’t want to imagine what would’ve happened if she didn’t meet her little niece, or if her brother and little niece had arrived a step too late! She only knew that it was her brother and her little niece who had saved her man and her family!
“Good… what a good child! Aunt doesn’t know how to thank you…” Yu Caifeng didn’t know what to say. Words couldn’t describe her gratitude towards her. In the future, even if she had to work like an ox or horse, she must repay her brother’s family.
Yu Hai felt very happy for his older sister, and he was extremely glad that his younger daughter had studied medicine under Doctor You. He sighed heavily and said, “Older Sister, we’re all family. There’s no need for you to express your gratitude. Give Older Brother-in-law some water, then let’s pack our stuff and go to town and have Doctor Sun take a look at Older Brother-in-law.”
“Father! Do you not believe in my medical skills? Doctor Sun had praised me ceaselessly, saying I’m very talented when it comes to studying medicine!” Yu Xiaocao pouted with her small mouth and had an ‘I’m very angry’ appearance on.
Yu Hai stroked his daughter’s glossy black hair and said with a smile, “I believe you; I believe you! Our family’s Xiaocao is so capable, how can I not believe you? Your uncle is very sick, so we’re going to go to Tongren Medicine Hall to get some medicine to nourish his health. In passing, we can also have Doctor Sun feel his pulse!”
Yu Caifeng’s youngest son, Liu Fangping, had just turned six this year and he said in a childish voice, “Older sister, I believe you too! You cured my father; you are a godly doctor!”
