The sky gradually lightened and a ray of golden sunlight broke through the clouds, making the dull earth instantly brighter. The continuous sound of crowing broke the silence of dawn. The birds chirping in the trees added a pleasant note to the noise.
In the room, Su Jinyue, who was sleeping, suddenly frowned and her eyelashes trembled non-stop. “No…don’t…Yihan…”
Her eyes suddenly flew open.
Su Jinyue let out a slow sigh of relief when she saw the environment clearly. She had a dream. In the dream, Zhan Yihan was covered in blood. He was fighting a group of people in black when a dagger had stabbed into his back. Blood gushed everywhere, but he just frowned slightly and continued fighting hard, bathed in blood.
When he finally took care of all the people in black, he was already exhausted.
“Jinyue, I avenged you…” Zhan Yihan looked around at the corpses all over the floor. His blood-stained face showed relief. Jinyue, wait for me. I will be with you every day from now on.
At this moment, one of the black-clothed ‘corpses’ on the ground moved. He slowly raised his head to look at Zhan Yihan. His eyes flashed with a cold light, as if looking at a prey. He took out a gun and pointed towards Zhan Yihan with difficulty.
Bang! The man in black squeezed the trigger, and the bullet shot towards Zhan Yihan…
Thinking of the scene in her dream, Su Jinyue still felt lingering fear. She wiped the cold sweat on her forehead. “Fortunately, it was just a dream.”
After two days of nursing, the leg injury was no longer as painful, but she still couldn’t get out of bed.
“Doctor Xu! Doctor Xu! Help my Erwa. He has been burning up all night.” An anxious voice came from the outside.
“Master has gone out to gather herbs. Sister Liu, please bring the child over for me to see.” Song Yiren opened the medical kit on the table and took out a palm-sized aluminum box.
Sister Liu hurried forward with the child in her arms and sat on the stool opposite Song Yiren. Song Yiren opened the aluminum box and took out the thermometer. She gave it to sister Liu, “Put the thermometer under his tongue.”
Sister Liu took the thermometer and coaxed the child to open his mouth, and put the thermometer in his mouth.
“Dr.Song, when will DR.Xu come back?” She still trusted Xu Tiansheng more. Although Song Yiren has learned medicine from Dr.Xu for several years, she was still young and had little experience. After all, she had to go to school most of the time.
“I don’t know. Master doesn’t have a set time when he goes out to gather herbs.” Sister Liu nodded.
“Is that girl Jinyue better?” Shangxin Village was not very big. She naturally heard about Su Jinyue’s injury.
“She is getting better, but she can’t get out of bed yet. Sister Liu, I heard Brother Zhan is coming back today.” Sister Liu’s house was next to the Zhan family’s. She should know about the Zhan’s affairs best.
“He is not coming back. I heard he got mission last minute.” Aunt Zhan received a telegram last night. The telegram said Zhan Yihan had an urgent mission and could not return this time.
Song Yiren nodded in disappointment. She looked at the child in Sister Liu’s arms, “It should be time. You can take out the thermometer.”
She had been eagerly waiting ever since she heard Brother Zhan was coming back. She didn’t expect it to be false hope.
Sister Liu took out the thermometer from the child’s mouth and handed it to Song Yiren. Song Yiren took the thermometer and check the temperature. “It’s 38.3 degrees. It’s quite high. I will give an injection.”
(Mango: 38.3C is about 101F)
“Good.” Sister Liu agreed quickly. She didn’t understand anything. She only wanted the child to be well. Song Yiren started to prepare the medicine.
“You turn the child over and let him lie on your lap. Expose his buttocks” Master usually recommended taking oral medicine, but she preferred quicker methods.
“I don’t want an injection. I don’t want an injection…” The child cried loudly when he heard he was getting an injection, and refused to cooperate.
“Be good, Erwa. The injection doesn’t hurt at all. After getting the injection, Mom will buy sweets.” Sister Liu could only coax the child helplessly. There was still farm work to do at home, but the child’s fever was not going down at all. How could she go to the fields?
Hearing there will be sweets to eat, Erwa calmed down and looked at the syringe in Song Yiren’s hand with big, teary eyes full of fear. He doesn’t want to get an injection, but he wants to eat candy. It would be best if it was white rabbit toffee. Thinking of the taste of toffee, saliva almost overflowed from his mouth.
Song Yiren took the needle and wiped Erwa’s buttocks with alcohol wipes. Just as the needle was about to be injected, Su Jinyue’s voice rang, “Wait a minute!”
Song Yiren and sister Liu turned at the same time to see Su Jinyue, standing on one foot, struggling to lean on the door frame.
“What’s wrong?” Song Yiren asked. She didn’t understand why Su Jinyue wanted to stop her.
“You haven’t done a skin test. How can you give an injection like this? What if the child is allergic to penicillin?” Su Jinyue spoke with a cold face. Erwa, in her previous life, had an allergic reaction after being injected with penicillin. Although he was rescued in time, Sister Liu’s family often came to the clinic to make trouble because of this incident. Master had to give money to resolve it. She doesn’t care if Song Yiren made mistakes, but this matter is connected to Master’s reputation. She must stop it.
“I forgot.” A trace of anger flashed in Song Yiren’s eyes. Did Su Jinyue wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Su Jinyue saying this was discrediting her. Some people were allergic to penicillin, but the probability was so small, she has never encountered it before, let alone being so coincidentally.
Su Jinyue didn’t bother paying attention to Song Yiren. Se looked at Sister Liu. “Sister Liu, the child does not need to be injected. Go back and mash a small piece of ginger into a paste. Apply that to the high bones of the child’s wrist. Here.”
Pointing to the high bones on her wrist, she continued, “Wrap it with gauze and fix it in place with tape. Generally, the fever will go down in about 40 minutes.”
“Will that really be okay?” Sister Liu asked suspiciously. Erwa’s temperature was so high. What should she do if something goes wrong with this method? And she was still in a hurry to get to work.
“Don’t worry.” Su Jinyue believed in herself.
Sister Liu hesitated for a while, when gritted her teeth and said, “Then I will believe you this once.”
She pulled Erwa’s pants up. Then walked out carrying the child. If this method really worked, it will save her money.
Su Jinyue, if you have any problems with me, just tell me directly. Why must you discredit me in front of others?“ Song Yiren spoke angrily after Sister Liu left.
“I’m just doing my duty as a doctor.” Su Jinyue spoke quietly before turning around and hopping back to the room on one leg. If this matter didn’t affect Master, even if Song Yiren put people to death, she would not stop her.

Mango: I know the last sentence was supposed to mean that SJ would not care how it would affect SY’s reputation or life, but as a medical student or even just as a human, I feel like it was a bit too extreme. Even if SY killing an innocent person affected no one but herself, if SJ knew about it and had the ability to stop it, she shouldn’t just ignore it. Especially because she is a doctor.
