Chapter 7: Bitten by a Snake 

Fortunately, there are many people and everyone is working, so it’s not boring.

At this time, the slogan came from the loudspeaker and broadcasted in the whole production team, “Unity and diligence, strive for the best results, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of fatigue!”

“Suffering comes first and the pleasures of life comes afterwards!”

“……”

On the radio, the announcer’s tone was very lively, and the people who were working listened to it and sped up their work.

Although people in this era are very arduous, they are very simple and they have a strong sense of happiness and satisfaction. To be able to have work to do, to have foodstuff to eat, to eat one’s fill and drink is their greatest wish.

On the contrary, in the 21st century, conditions have improved and people’s desires have become endless, making it difficult to have a sense of happiness.

Zhao Xiulan also sped up her work. When she found some hogweeds, she would quickly cut them, and then carry the basket on her back to search in the next place.

“Quickly, anyone, help! Wu Jinhua’s son was bitten by a snake!”

A panicked voice came not far from the foot of the mountain. After hearing it, the people who were working hurriedly ran over.

The people in the production team are simple and kind. Basically, if there is an accident in one family, other families will help. When they heard that someone has been bitten by a snake, they naturally rush over to see what’s going on.

According to the memory of the original owner, Wu Jinhua gave birth to a son after having three girls, so he is very precious. Now that her son was bitten by a snake, she must be worried and nervous.

Zhao Xiulan kept up with the rest of the team and went over to take a look, wondering if she could be of help.

When everyone rushed over, Wu Jinhua’s son, Goudan, had already fallen to the ground, fainted, and his lips were black. It was obvious that the venom had penetrated into his blood.

Many people were talking anxiously, “What can we do about this? Well, why was he bitten by a poisonous snake?”

“It appears that the venom is quite serious. Aye, it will take at least half an hour to get to the commune’s health center. It will be too late to send him there!”

“Yes… I heard that it had to be treated immediately. You won’t be saved if there’s any delay, half an hour… I’m afraid it’s too late for this kid!”

Wu Jinhua had long been so frightened that she lost her senses. When she heard someone say that, she was even more frightened. She cried and shouted, “Who can save my Goudan? He is my precious son, no bad thing can happen to him!

Whoever can save my Goudan, I will work extremely hard to repay him for a lifetime!

Woohoo… save my Goudan…”

Seeing Wu Jinhua cry like this, the people in the production team felt sympathetic and helpless at the same time.

Everyone is not a doctor and there is nothing anyone can do in this situation.

“Why don’t you hurry up and send him to the health center to try? It’s better than wasting time here.” Someone suggested.

The others followed suit, feeling that this is the only way to go now.

Just as someone was about to pick up Goudan and send him to the commune’s health center, Zhao Xiulan stood up with a solemn expression and said to everyone, “I’m afraid that it’s too late to send him over there. We have to deal with it now, otherwise his life will be in danger.”

After Zhao Xiulan finished speaking, everyone’s eyes fell on her.

Zhao Xiulan didn’t care about everyone’s eyes, she walked in front of Wu Jinhua and told her, “Auntie, if you believe me, then let me try!”

Wu Jinhua was already out of her wits. Although the person standing in front of her was just a little girl, she still decided to let her try. It was better than doing nothing and letting Goudan meet a mishap.

Also, listening to Zhao Xiulan’s tone, it seemed that there was really a way.

“All right, Xiulan Ya Tou, if you have a way, then you can try it. If you can save Goudan, I will remember it for the rest of my life, and I will repay you well in the future!”
