The next morning, Yun Jiao was reading a book in her room when she suddenly heard cries mixed with shouts outside, "Doctor Gu, help!"
"Quick, help!"
Yun Jiao put down her book and quickly walked out of the room, seeing a man holding a two or three-year-old child.
Beside him was an older man.
Behind them followed two won, one younger and one older.
The cries were coming from these two won.
The child in the man’s arms had a face turning purple, and the man looked extrely anxious.
Yun Jiao hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong with the child?"
The man replied, "His grandmother was frying beans in the house, and this greedy kid whined about wanting so. She gave him a handful, and after eating a few, he choked."
"Drinking water didn’t help, and neither did patting his back."
The older woman knelt down with a plop, "Doctor Gu, please save my grandson. He’s the only heir of our family!"
Yun Jiao didn’t have ti to attend to her, turned around, and walked into the house, "Quick, bring the child in."
She sat down on a chair and held out her hand to the man, "Give the child."
The man handed the child to Yun Jiao.
Yun Jiao placed the child face down on her knee, lifting his head slightly, and used her other hand to tap between the child’s shoulder blades, patting forward.
The two n and two won standing by held their breath, fearing that any sound might disturb Yun Jiao’s rescue.
At this mont, Mrs. Chen also ca out from the house, watched silently at the doorway with a worried expression.
Yun Jiao continued to pat the child’s back from forward to downward. Every five pats, she paused briefly.
On the twentieth pat, Yun Jiao saw a round yellow bean fly out of the child’s mouth.
Then, the child burst into tears.
Yun Jiao let out a long breath.
Heimlich maneuver, learned in dical school.
Luckily, they made it in ti.
The young woman, hearing the child cry, rushed over to pick him up.
The family surrounded the child, crying tears of joy.
It was the older woman who reacted first, "Doctor Gu, we owe you so much. I almost thought—" thought the grandson would choke to death.
If it weren’t for my daughter-in-law suggesting to find Doctor Gu in a hurry, who knows what would have happened to the child now.
It’s strange, they patted the child countless tis, but the bean wouldn’t co out.
Doctor Gu’s thod proved effective, her posture, her technique, there’s surely so reasoning behind it, and that’s what saved the child.
Yun Jiao just smiled, "As long as the child is okay."
"In the future, please be careful, he’s still young, and it’s best not to give him things like this to eat."
The whole family nodded hurriedly.
The older woman slapped her forehead, "Look at , I was in such a hurry, I didn’t bring any silver. I’ll go back to get the consultation fee now."
Yun Jiao smiled without saying not to worry about the silver.
The family expressed endless gratitude, holding the still sobbing child as they left.
After they left, Mrs. Chen finally said, "That family’s surna is also Liu, they’re from the sa ancestral line as Ah Tie’s family, but many generations apart."
"They only pass down one male child per generation, so they treat this grandson like a precious jewel. Thank goodness you saved him just now."
She patted her chest, "I was really worried, if sothing happened to the child, would they have turned around and blad you."
Yun Jiao was startled for a mont, "Well, I didn’t think that far."
But when she thought it over, she felt Mrs. Chen had a point and nodded, "I’ll try to explain things clearly with people in the future."
Only, this kind of first aid is a race against ti, and a few extra words could an not saving a life,
