Chapter Eleven: Falling into Water

  Today's first update, I saw that there are also more than 30 brothers in the collection, still voting, and we will also rush to the new book list! Also asking for collection, tonight there is another chapter, as usual after 7 o'clock! Mapu Mountain is located in the southeast of Lin City, a 30-minute drive from the city. At this time, it is summer, and Mapu Mountain is also a famous tourist destination in Lin City. The tourists coming here are endless.

  There is a pool of water called Cold Spring at the waist of Ma Pu Mountain, and the spring water is sweet and cool. It's a great place for tea brewing. The local government has also built a tourist farm around the spring, which includes a large open space. Visitors can camp, barbecue, and fish in the nearby ponds, as well as pick their own vegetables from the fields. They can then use the farm's cooking facilities to prepare their catch or have the farm's chef help with the preparation.

  It's not yet 10 o'clock, but there are already many tourists here. Mr. Su has reserved the best spot through his connections and prepared some barbecue tools. Chen Zhiyuan took one look at these things and quickly ran over to help, he was afraid that if he didn't, those old men would continue to pester him with questions about food all day long, which had already given him a headache.

  Before long, Su Bingxuan and the others arrived. Su's elder sister saw Chen Zhiyuan by the spring water at a glance. As the saying goes, "enemies meet, eyes turn red". Su Bingxuan still put down the things in her hand and rushed towards Chen Zhiyuan.

  Chen Zhiyuan heard a gust of wind behind him, and in the blink of an eye, Su Bing had fallen into a pool of water. Chen's face was filled with schadenfreude, thinking "serves you right for trying to scheme against me". But immediately after, he felt his clothes being pulled by someone. Before falling in, Su Bing had managed to grab onto something - the corner of Chen Zhiyuan's robe.

  The two of them fell down with a thud.

  This thing happened in an instant, let alone the old men like Su Lao didn't react, even Zhao Zhuang and his wife didn't react. When they came to their senses, the two had already fallen in.

  This spring is called a cold spring, and the water quality is extremely cold. Although it's scorching summer, the temperature of this spring is around zero degrees Celsius. If someone falls in, it's not fun at all. Old Master Su knew his granddaughter couldn't swim, so he shouted for help and was about to rush over, but several old friends next to him quickly stopped him, saying that if he, an old man, went into such cold water, his life would be gone.

  A group of people boiled the pot, some swimmers wanted to go in and save them, but the water was really too cold, so they didn't dare to come forward, and Old Man Su and a few others were so anxious that they jumped their feet.

  Su Bingxuan struggled on the water for a few times and then sank, everyone's heart was in their throat, Old Man Su was even more anxious, shouting to let him go, with an urgent look of wanting to jump into the water to rescue him. Just at this moment, a head suddenly appeared from the shore.

  Chen Zhiyuan wiped away the water in front of his eyes and stuttered: "Damn it's cold!"

  Zhēn Lìlì shouted at this time: "Zhi Yuǎn, Bīng Xuán is still in the water, you quickly save her!"

  Surrounded by the crowd, Chen Zhiyuan seemed to have found his backbone. The crowd's enthusiasm urged Chen Zhiyuan to go and rescue people. Chen Da Guan Ren was dissatisfied in his heart, you bastards, why don't you go down and rescue yourselves? This water can freeze people to death, but thinking of Su Bingxuan saying that she is also a classmate with him, watching her die, he definitely cannot do it.

  Chen Zhiyuan took a deep breath and dove down again. The spring water was extremely cold, and Chen Zhiyuan felt that in just an instant, his entire body seemed to have frozen stiff, with his hands and feet becoming somewhat unresponsive. Gritting his teeth, he used force with his legs and dived several more meters downward. Through the icy and slightly dark spring water, he saw a figure slowly falling down ahead of him.

  At this time, Chen Zhiyuan felt that he had no strength left in his body, and his hands and feet were not listening to him. Su Bingxuan was within reach at this moment, Chen Zhiyuan bit his tongue, only feeling a sharp pain in his tongue, and then a sweetness in his mouth. Under the stimulation of this pain, his body also recovered some strength, and he rushed towards Su Bingxuan with a burst of energy.

  Su Bingxuan had already lost consciousness, Chen Zhiyuan held her in his arms and saw that bubbles were constantly coming out of her mouth. He knew that if he didn't give her some oxygen, this girl would really drown to death. At this time, he couldn't care about anything else, and fortunately, there was still a breath left in his mouth. He opened his mouth and kissed Su Bingxuan's cherry lips, passing on the air.

  This breath passed by, Chen Zhiyuan felt that his lungs were about to explode, he didn't dare to stay for a moment, and used all his strength to swim upstream.

  Although Chen Zhiyuan's rescue was extremely smooth and only took a few minutes, the water was extremely cold. The colder the water, the more it consumes human strength. If Chen Zhiyuan wasn't physically strong, he wouldn't have been able to find Su Bingxue, let alone save himself. But even in this situation, Chen Zhiyuan still couldn't reach the surface of the water, only 10 centimeters away. He finally exhausted his last bit of strength and felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. Unbearable, he took a big gulp of water, which was like ice and seemed to freeze his internal organs instantly. Chen Zhiyuan couldn't hold on any longer and sank down, holding Su Bingxue. Just then, he suddenly felt something poking him. People who fall into the water will grab onto anything they can, and Chen Zhiyuan was no exception. In a daze, he grabbed onto that thing.

  It was unclear how much time had passed, but Chen Zhiyuan felt a bright light in front of him as he opened his eyes. He immediately began to cough violently and spat out some water. Feeling a bit more energized, Chen Zhiyuan looked around at the people nearby. Zhao Zhuangzhuang was staring at him with concern, mouth agape: "I... I'm fine now!"

  Zhao Zhuangzhuan patted his chest and let out a breath, his eyebrows relaxed before furrowing again as he muttered: "You're fine now, but Su Bingxuan isn't doing well!"

  "What's wrong with him!" Chen Zhiyuan wrapped his body in the quilt, feeling that his clothes were wet and cold, and he was uncomfortable.

  "Lili gave her artificial respiration and all that, but she still didn't wake up. Old Su is contacting the hospital now!" Zhao Zhuangzhuang looked over anxiously in another direction!

  "Help me take a look!" Chen Zhiyuan struggled to get up.

  This tourist farm built several wooden houses on the edge of the cold spring, where tourists usually stay, and Su Bingxuan was carried here.

  Chen Zhiyuan and the others soon arrived at the house, Su Lao was already in a state of panic, his face pale, and the old men who came with him were comforting him. The farm's leaders also looked worried as they gazed at Su Bingxuan lying there, if he really died, this business would be impossible to do.

  Chen Lili saw Chen Zhiyuan walk in and went forward: "Zhiyuan, are you okay?"

  Chen Zhiyuan had recovered a lot of energy by now, and he threw off the blanket on his body, immediately taking off his clothes to reveal his toned upper body. The wet clothes were really uncomfortable to wear, if there weren't any women around, he would have liked to take off his pants as well: "I'm fine, how is she?"

  Chen Lili was sweating profusely as she helped Su Bingxuan with CPR and chest compressions, when Chen Zhiyuan came in crying: "It's not good, he's stopped breathing!"

  Chen Zhiyuan walked over a few steps, flipped open Su Bingxuan's eyelids, and pressed his cheek against her nose. He felt no breathing at all. He took Su Bingxuan's hand and checked her pulse, finding it to be very weak. If he hadn't examined carefully, he wouldn't have even felt it.

  At this time, Chen Zhiyuan's heart tightened. This place was far from the hospital, and he feared that by the time 120 arrived, Su Bingxuan's life would be in danger. Chen Zhiyuan didn't dare to delay, so he called out the fat exchange system. He found that there were still 30 kilograms of fat remaining in the system. It was clear that exchanging for primary medical skills wouldn't be enough. Taking a deep breath, he called out the contract system and displayed the people with whom he had signed contracts. Fortunately, Chen Zhiyuan had signed contracts with many people over the past few months, and he hadn't extracted all of their excess fat at once. He had been extracting a little each month, fearing that if he let those people become too thin at once, it would cause unnecessary trouble. He extracted a bit more from each person, gathering 60 kilograms of fat in total, and immediately exchanged it for primary medical skills. Fortunately, Chen Zhiyuan had also exchanged some attribute points for his body due to studying food paths recently, which just met the exchange conditions for primary medical skills.

  Once he mastered this skill, Chen Zhiyuan immediately did another more detailed examination for Su Bingxue.

  At this time, Old Su was in a hurry to find a doctor, and when he saw Chen Zhiyuan's appearance as a Chinese medicine doctor, he quickly walked over and asked with concern: "How is it, Little Chen?"

  Chen Zhiyuan looked at Old Su, furrowed his brow and said: "I reckon it's because the spring water is too cold, there's a section of airway **, the water inside can't be drained out, the body lacks oxygen so he can't wake up. If time goes on for a bit longer, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it'll be troublesome!"

  In fact, most people who drown do so because their glottis and epiglottis close, causing asphyxiation. Su Bing's case was even more severe, with the icy water being extremely cold, a small section of his trachea had already frozen, and even if he had been relieved of the closure of his glottis and epiglottis, there would still have been a high probability of death.

  At this moment, several people wearing white coats rushed in, presumably the 120 doctors had arrived. First was a small flat head with glasses, who came in and asked: "Where is the patient?"

  Su Lao Ye Zi immediately pulled Chen Zhiyuan and grabbed the doctor, rushing: "Quickly save my granddaughter!"

  Xiao Ping walked a few steps to Su Bingxuan's side, did a simple check and turned his head to a small nurse who followed: "Little Li, you come to do artificial respiration and chest compressions. Xiao Zhao, immediately perform tracheotomy, bring the oxygen tank and respirator over, quickly!"

  Chen Zhiyuan's eyebrows furrowed as soon as he heard that a tracheotomy was needed. Xiao Pingtou's emergency measures were all correct, but Su Bingxuan's condition wasn't just a matter of her throat and vocal cords being blocked - there was also water in her airway. If they established an airway, the oxygen would push the water into her lower respiratory tract, immediately triggering pulmonary edema. This was one of the main reasons for the extremely rare delayed drowning deaths. Once pulmonary edema set in, Su Bingxuan's life would be forfeit. Although Chen Zhiyuan had been arguing with Su Bingxuan for days, he couldn't just stand by and watch her die. He spoke up: "Wait, if you do it this way, she'll definitely die!"

  Xiao Ping's head heard this stunned, turned his head and looked at Chi on the upper body of this young man: "You are also a doctor!"

  "Not yet, but you can't treat me like this!" Chen Zhiyuan slumped his shoulders.
