Volume 1 Chapter 90 No Air

  "His aunt, calm down..." Li Qi's wife's face suddenly turned from white to red, she grasped Dogzi's mother's hand tightly.

  Everyone rushed forward, pulling and dragging, "Spring Brother is just a five-year-old child, it's all just playing around, what does he understand..."

  The dog was almost frantic and couldn't listen, baring its teeth and pouncing on Li Qizhen's wife, scratching and clawing at her. For a time, the room was in chaos.

  Zhen Shiniang was deep in thought, trying to figure out how to get the peanut out of the dog's airway under limited conditions. She didn't expect that just as she blinked, the situation would become like this. Seeing that the scene had already gotten out of control, she randomly grabbed a teacup and smashed it heavily onto the ground.

  A loud crash, and all sound suddenly ceased.

  It wasn't until quite some time had passed that everyone finally turned around to look at Zhen Shiniang, who was standing quietly in front of the couch.

  "If you don't want to save him, then take him home and make a big fuss!" Zhen Shi Niang's voice was not loud, but cold and clear.

  "You... you're saying... my puppy can still be saved?" The dog's owner was the first to come back to her senses.

  "The dog is not dead yet." Zhen Shiniang's voice was calm and composed.

  She also didn't dare guarantee that she could definitely save the puppy's life.

  But as long as she's still alive, she won't give up.

  The little girl knelt down with a thud and kept kowtowing, "If you can save our dog's life, my whole family will burn incense and kowtow to you..."

  Only the dead burn incense and kowtow!

  Zhen Shiniang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

  However, she didn't have time to bother with these things, competing with King Yan for people's lives, she had to fight for every second. Seeing the room buzzing again, Zhen Shi Niang suppressed her patience and shouted, "Everyone get out!" Seeing that no one moved, she added weight to her tone, "Surrounding this house will affect my rescue efforts." Although her tone was still polite, it was already unquestionable.

  Yu Liang was the first to come to, and without regard for male or female modesty, he stretched out his hand to push everyone outside, "......Go out first, go out first, all of you wait outside!" Zhen Shi Niang's extraordinary calmness made him inexplicably feel a sense of unconditional trust in her words.

  Zhen Shi Niang turned around and searched for half a day before discovering that the magpie was hiding safely under the window, protected by Li Da Niang. She felt a wave of relief in her heart, knowing that it had managed to protect itself. Otherwise, with all the commotion just now, it would have been injured. If that had happened, she wouldn't have known which one to save first.

  "Miss..." Seeing her look over, Jiyu supported Li Dama and walked over.

  "Bring me the medicine box..." Zhen Shiniang said, then lowered her head and looked at Dogzi.

  The little girl refused to leave the house, so Zhen Shiniang left a strong and healthy daughter-in-law named Zhang Li to watch her, even driving out Chunxiang and Dongjuan. Only allowing someone to invite Qiujie in.

  Although Qiū Jú is not quick-witted in dealing with things, she has a big heart. With strength in her hands and meticulousness in doing things, she is a typical doer, and assisting in surgery suits her best.

  Washed hands with self-prepared disinfectant, then moved the dog to the window and let Yu Liang press one hand on the dog's forehead and pull up the dog's lower jaw with the other hand.

  It's okay. At the beginning, when operating on Mrs. Xiao, the temporary instruments made were all given to her by Xiao Yu. The small copper mirror, tweezers, catheter, and oversized glass syringe specially made for modern injection, which was used to aspirate sputum from Mrs. Xiao at that time, thinking that ordinary people couldn't afford it, Zhen Shiniang didn't bear to throw them away, so she boiled them in boiling water and brought them back together.

  Unexpectedly, it was put into use today, replacing the vacuum cleaner.

  Insert one end of the catheter into the trachea above the position where the peanut is stuck, and connect the empty glass syringe to the other end of the catheter. Use force to suck outward...

  Imitation is never as attractive as the real thing.

  One by one, she emptied the syringe, and with a relay-like motion, slowly sucked it out bit by bit. Gradually, Zhen Shiniang's sweat covered her eyes...

  "Wiping sweat......" She blinked hard.

  For the first time, she saw someone inserting such a long tube into a person's belly, Dogzi's mother was shocked and speechless, Zhang Li trembled as she picked up the towel.

  The peanuts were sucked into the throat and could be vaguely seen, but they couldn't be sucked out anymore. The tube was withdrawn, and Zhen Shiniang changed to a pair of chopsticks...

  "It's out, it's out......" Just as Zhen Shiniang slowly pulled out a sticky peanut from the dog's mouth, the dog's mother swayed and almost fell over, but was caught by Zhang Li.

  Yu Liang plopped down on the ground with a thud.

  Suddenly, Zhen Shining threw the chopsticks into the plate and felt her legs trembling.

  If she can't get it done again, she's probably going to be fired too.

  It wasn't until much later that Dogzi's mother suddenly exclaimed, "Ayou, you're a living Bodhisattva!" She rushed towards Dogzi and called out to him twice with joy, but then her body shook as she asked, "Why isn't he breathing?"

  "How could this be?" Yu Liang crawled to the front of the couch, stretched out his hand and tried again under the dog's nose, "Auntie..." He trembled and called out to Zhen Shiniang, his eyes full of wrinkles with a desperate fear.

  Zhen Shining's head buzzed loudly.

  She neglected it!

  In the past, when performing this type of surgery, the instructor especially emphasized that when removing a foreign body from the airway, one must constantly monitor the patient's vital signs. If breathing or heartbeat stops, immediately stop removing the foreign body and first perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

  In her past life, there were monitoring instruments, and during the operation, a special nurse was on guard, reporting the patient's vital signs to her at any time. She just needed to give orders in time and take corresponding measures, without having to worry about anything. In this life, she didn't have these things, and no one in this house understood medicine to help her observe the dog's pulse. She had just been too focused!

  She calmed down in an instant, got up and came to the dog's face, stretched out her hand to try under its nose, flipped its eyelids, and then reached for the dog's neck artery...

  "How is it?" Yu Liang Qi Ai looked at Zhen Shi Niang.

  The dog also forgot to howl and watched her quietly with bated breath.

  Although they had seen with their own eyes that their son was already dead, without Zhen Shiniang's final verdict, they still held a thread of desperate hope in their hearts.

  It was as if Zhen Shiniang was a living Bodhisattva; she said the dog could live, and immediately their dog jumped up, lively and energetic, calling them "Dad, Mom..." just like before.

  The puppy's heart has stopped!

  Checking if the heart is beating, the simplest and most reliable way is to check the carotid artery, but she felt it for half a day without any pulse.

  With an unusually heavy mood, Zhen Shiniang turned her head to look at Qiu Ju, "......Do you still remember the artificial respiration I taught you?" Her tone was low and slow, like stagnant river water.

  Qiu Ju often took Jian Wu and Jian Wen to play, but she didn't have the energy to watch them all the time, fearing that they would not be able to cope in case of an accident. Zhen Shi Niang taught them many first aid methods during her free time, including artificial respiration.

  "Slave remembers..." Qiu Ju's voice trembled, her face deathly pale.

  For the first time, Qiujie was so close to death that even with her big courage, she was still just a child. If it weren't for Zhen Shiniang's calm gaze giving her encouragement, she would have collapsed already.

  "Alright, you do it!" Zhen Shi'niang took off her shoes and got onto the kang, half-kneeling beside Gouzi. She placed both hands on top of each other on Gouzi's left chest, "Listen to me count, I'll press down fifteen times, and you blow air into him once..." Her voice was low, calm, and slow.

  Yu Liang's wife widened her eyes in surprise.

  They are experienced people who have seen death, and what they fear most is the last breath of a person before dying. It is said that when a person's last breath hits someone's face, that person will be haunted by his soul and eventually dragged to the underworld as well. Therefore, for those who have been declared hopeless and are waiting for death, the living must avoid their mouths, lest they be possessed by ghosts.

  However, after hearing Zhen Shining's words, Qiuju took a deep breath without hesitation, lowered her head, pinched the dog's nose, and blew air into its mouth...

  The girl suddenly turned her head, covering her mouth with both hands, and the sobbing sound still couldn't be suppressed from leaking out between her fingers, her plump back trembling violently.

  "His mother..." Yu Liang rubbed his eyes, reached out and pulled her to one side, "Don't interfere with Auntie's rescue efforts, whether he lives or dies is our son's fate..." He gritted his teeth, "Who knows if he's here to settle the score!"

  Superstition says that children who die young are the enemies of their parents in their past lives, coming to settle accounts in this life. They let their parents spend their hearts and blood raising them, only to watch them leave with a broken heart, never to smile again.

  Yu Liang's words meant that since the puppy was dead, he had no choice but to accept it.

  Witnessing Zhen Shiniang and her maid's wholehearted efforts, he knew they had done their best.

  Even though she already knew the puppy was gone, she still didn't give up!

  How can they blame her?

  The vet had already announced that the puppy was beyond saving, but they refused to give up and insisted on bringing it here. If the puppy can be saved, it's just its good fortune to have met such a kind-hearted woman. If the puppy dies... it's fate.

  "His father..." Dogzi's daughter pounced on his shoulder, gritting her teeth and saying, "If we really can't save him, it's my bad luck as a dog, I'm not worthy of following you!"

  "Miss, I...I can't go on..." Qiujie panted heavily, clutching her chest and sweating profusely.

  It's not that she didn't have the strength, but the atmosphere in the house was so stifling that she felt her breath getting shorter and shorter.

  "Hold on... fast..." Zhen Shiniang wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen... do it again..."

  She took a deep breath, but felt that the air in her chest was not enough to use. As soon as she breathed in, it was squeezed out uncontrollably, and Qiuju's tears fell down, covering her mouth with one hand.

  "I'm coming..." Yu Liang trembled as he walked over, having looked around for a long time, and he also knew what to do.

  The dog's chest was puffed up again, and Zhen Shiniang let out a mouthful of air.

  Zhen Shiniang felt the dog's carotid artery pulse with her hand, readjusted the frequency, and began to count again: "One, two, three..."

  Half a minute passed, and the sand in the hourglass was still flowing relentlessly, grain by grain.

  Gradually, Zhen Shiniang became somewhat desperate.

  In ancient times, one ke was equivalent to 15 minutes in the previous life. Seeing that it's already been two ke, based on the experience of the previous life, if after thirty minutes of continuous rescue treatment there is still no heartbeat or spontaneous breathing, the doctor would have to consider giving up...

  Is it just going to be abandoned like this?

  Feeling that she had no strength to continue, Zhen Shiniang's movements also slowed down, and a sense of heaviness rose in her heart that she had never felt before... The dog's parents had entrusted the dog's life to her, but she was powerless...
