Dressed as a beautiful educated youth in the 1970s

Chapter 30: Details

She cleaned and dried the food quickly, and took the lunch box from Liu Erpao's house, ready to send it back. Not far from the hospital gate, she heard people screaming in the distance, as if there was a fire somewhere.

She turned around and saw that the place with thick smoke was the direction of Xiao Yajuan's house. She was so anxious that she didn't care about delivering the lunch box, and ran there.

Xiao Yajuan's house was not far from here, and she saw the place with thick smoke in a minute. Liu Decai was nowhere to be seen, and the crowd of onlookers took basins and buckets and scooped water to put out the fire.

Xiao Yajuan sat on the grass beside her with her daughter in her arms, crying heartbreakingly. The child in her arms was even more miserable.

His bare feet were covered in black ash, his pants and sweater were burnt beyond recognition, and were dripping wet. His little hands were red and swollen like pig trotters, and his cheeks had a large patch of skin broken, revealing the tender red flesh inside.

The old lady standing by was holding a washbasin in her hand and looked sympathetic. Shen He squatted down beside his friend, and was also heartbroken at the sight of this tragic situation.

"Stop crying, crying won't solve the problem. Hurry up and take the child to the hospital. The burns on her body need to be treated quickly."

The old lady nodded and said, "Yes, hurry to the health center. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and the little girl's injuries are not very serious. If..."

After the two of them said this, Xiao Yajuan suddenly came to her senses from her self-blame and regret. She stood up holding her daughter and ran barefoot towards the commune.

Shen He quickly chased after her: "Juan'er, wait for me."

There are no four-wheeled vehicles in the village, and the livestock are working in the fields. If you want to use them, you have to get the approval of the team leader, and then you can harness the vehicle. This trouble is not as fast as your own two legs. So Shen He didn't think about this at all, and directly took turns with Xiao Yajuan to hold the child and ran all the way to the commune.

The commune health center, where Dr. Li was today, cut the child's clothes with scissors and gently took them off. This process inevitably touched the wounds on the child's limbs, causing her to cry even more sharply.

All foreign objects were removed. After careful observation, the old doctor told the nurse: "Go get a sterile bag." Then he looked up and said to the family, "Fortunately, the wound is not big, there is no wound on the chest and back. The serious ones are the limbs and face. I will use a sterile needle to prick the blisters later, and then I need to infuse to prevent infection. However, there are many blisters. You have to be hospitalized for observation. You can't stay at home. If the infection is not discovered in time, it will be very dangerous."

Xiao Yajuan nodded mechanically, and the old doctor explained: "It depends on the child's recovery. If it is not good, I suggest you transfer to another hospital. Go to a large hospital for treatment. The medical technology and drugs are better than here."

As soon as the transfer was mentioned, it must mean that the child's injuries were serious. Xiao Yajuan panicked. Tears burst out again.

"Doctor, is my daughter's injury serious?"

"The burns on her limbs are indeed serious, especially on her right leg, with a large wound. She may be disabled. Moreover, the most difficult thing right now is the infection. If the inflammation is not well controlled, it may be fatal if it gets infected."

Xiao Yajuan's legs went limp when she heard this, and she was supported by Shen He so that she didn't sit on the ground. She couldn't speak with her trembling lips.
