Chapter 262: Which is more important, reputation or life?
The little kid finally spit out the thing stuck in his throat. He began to breathe deeply, and then burst into tears. But maybe because the thing stuck in his throat hurt his throat, his voice was very hoarse.
Shen Zhiqiu turned his head, held him in his arms, and coaxed him, "Don't cry, your throat will hurt more if you cry any more."
Maybe it was because he knew Shen Zhiqiu had saved him, or maybe it was because his throat really hurt from crying so loudly, his crying gradually became softer.
The man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard his son's cry. It was as if the taut string in his body broke, and his legs went limp and he sat down on the ground.
The people around may also be shocked by this scene, and they are talking about it:
"Is he really saved?"
"Resurrection from the dead?"
Words like this reached everyone's ears.
The noble lady crawled to Shen Zhiqiu, crying.
The moment Shen Zhiqiu handed the child to her, she hugged her son in her arms and cried loudly.
Muttering in his mouth: "Hao'er, damn Hao'er..."
She kept touching the child's face which was gradually returning to normal as he was able to breathe smoothly.
Everyone just watched quietly. They could understand the helplessness of a mother who almost lost her child. The child's father also crawled over to check on the child.
Until the little baby choked and called out, "Mom."
Only then can we feel at ease.
The lady held the baby tightly and refused to let go. Shen Zhiqiu reminded her, "Don't hold him so tightly. Is there something stuck in his throat?"
At this time, Shen Youyou came over with a bunch of dried sour plums in her hand that flew far away.
Shen Zhiqiu frowned when he saw it and said: "It's best not to feed such a young child this. Even if he must eat it, you should remove the core.
It's such a big thing stuck in the throat for such a long time, I still need to prescribe some medicine to relieve the throat, and the child is also frightened, it's best to prescribe some tranquilizers. "
The man immediately stood up and said, "Sir, it is thanks to you that the child was saved. Since you are a skilled doctor, please prescribe some medicine."
When Shen Zhiqiu heard this, he knew that he had misunderstood, and explained: "I am not a doctor, and I don't know any medical skills. Just ask your family doctor to prescribe medicine."
But as soon as he finished speaking, many people around him, including the man, exclaimed in surprise: "How is it possible? Obviously..."
Shen Zhiqiu understood what they meant:
"This child was not careful when eating sour plums, which caused his trachea to be blocked, causing suffocation. His lips are blue and his face is red, and he can't make any sound. These are all symptoms of suffocation, similar to drowning."
He figured that this was an inn with a lot of people traveling back and forth, and it just so happened that all the people in the inn had come out, so he took the opportunity to teach them. As the news spread more and more widely, it might be able to save many lives.
So he explained it in great detail, including where the trachea was, and he gestured at his neck a few times.
At this moment, even the woman and the child stopped crying and listened carefully to Shen Zhiqiu's explanation.
Then Shen Zhiqiu waved to Erbao again: "Erbao, come, let's demonstrate it to everyone."
Erbao is two years older than Shen Youyou this year. He is a young boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old. Although he is wearing coarse linen clothes, he can still see his handsome figure.
Shen Zhiqiu asked Erbao to face away from him, put his arms around his waist from under his arms, and repeated the Heimlich maneuver very slowly. He also explained it carefully to everyone and even asked everyone to ask someone around to try it.
People in ancient times were relatively feudal, and even two men would feel embarrassed to do such intimate actions in public.
But the people in Shenjia Village were an exception. They were used to what Shen Zhiqiu said, so they immediately followed suit and started experimenting with people around them.
Those who didn't understand were still asking Shen Zhiqiu: "Third brother, is this the place?"
Doctor Guo, in particular, was very careful in his work.
Seeing that many people in Shenjia Village were learning it, the others were no longer reserved. What if their own families encountered the same thing? This person taught them the knowledge without reservation.
If they don't learn to beg quickly, wouldn't they be fools?
At this time, Doctor Guo suddenly asked: "Third brother, do you mean that this can also save drowning people?"
Shen Zhiqiu: "No, but another first aid method can be used, but this method is a bit... ahem, anyway, a bit horrifying?"
The doctor of the noble family also spoke up: "Sir, what's so horrible about saving lives? What is more important than saving a life? I hope you can give me some advice."
Shen Zhiqiu didn't have any feudal ideas in mind. He said this mainly to give everyone a shot of prevention. After all, the effect of you teaching actively and them begging to learn is different, so he acted hesitant.
At this time, many people around began to speak up, hoping that Shen Zhiqiu could teach them.
Shen Youyou actually understood that his father was deliberately keeping the secret, so he said:
"Dad, why don't you teach them? This is an inn. They can spread these two methods of saving people. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
After listening to Shen Youyou's words, Shen Zhiqiu seemed to have made up his mind and let Erbao lie flat.
"Generally speaking, death from drowning is caused by a large amount of water, mud, or other debris entering the lungs of the drowning person through the mouth and nose, causing respiratory obstruction, lack of oxygen, coma and even death.
Here everyone needs to know what oxygen is. Let me explain it to you like this: it is a substance in the air we breathe.
We humans have to breathe to live. If we don’t breathe, we will suffocate to death. So you can also understand that oxygen is a part of the air.
For most of us, a cup of tea without air will cause death.
Of course, some martial arts masters who know how to hold their breath don't count, so when rescuing a drowning person, try to do so within a cup of tea. If you exceed that time, the chance of rescuing the person is close to zero."
Many people nodded and remembered this crucial "cup of tea" time.
Seeing that they could understand most of what was said to them, Shen Zhiqiu squatted beside Erbao who was pretending to drown. Erbao closed his eyes and pretended quite well.
"When we rescue people, we first lay the drowning person flat, tilt his head slightly, pry open his tightly closed teeth, reach in to check if there are any foreign objects, and then
If there is any, clear it first. If not, press his forehead with one hand, lift his chin with the other hand, pinch his nose, then take a deep breath, and blow air into the drowning person's mouth. "
Shen Zhiqiu didn't really brag, but it caused an uproar around him.
He shook his head and said, "You know why I hesitate to teach, because the drowning person can't breathe on his own, and we do this to help them breathe, but this conflicts with our etiquette and concepts. So should we save them or not?"
This question was so powerful that it seemed to hit the hearts of many people present. Which is more important, human life or reputation?
To be honest, most of the people who can live in the post station are educated, and they have a deep-rooted idea that reputation is more important than life. In their eyes, this way of saving people is too extraordinary.
Moreover, the second treasure in front of Shen Zhiqiu was not really drowning after all, so they could not witness whether he could really save people.
