Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio , Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When Tang Beibei heard someone calling for help, she didn’t answer her phone. Instead, she quickened her pace and ran over to the woman.

“What happened to your baby?”

“My son was playing in the fields and was bitten by a snake.”

The woman was in her forties. Her hair was messy and one of her shoes fell off as she ran and cried. She looked sad and helpless.

Tang Beibei patted her shoulder. “Sister, calm down and tell me where your child is. Then, call 120.”

The woman sobbed as she pointed ahead. A few children were standing on an embankment behind a small hill.

Tang Beibei turned to look at Jiang Jingchen. Jiang Jingchen had already taken out his phone and dialed 120. Sensing her gaze, Jiang Jingchen said, “The ambulance needs at least fifteen minutes to get here.”

Tang Beibei ran to the children and asked, “Where’s the snake that bit him?”

“It, it ran away.”

Someone had been bitten by a snake. The children who were playing together were all frightened and scattered far away.

The boy lying on the ground was eleven or twelve years old. He was very frightened. His face was pale, and his eyes were red. He wanted to sit up, but Tang Beibei held him down.

“Don’t move. Let me treat your wound first. It will hurt a little, but don’t be

afraid.”

Tang Beibei checked his wound. The snakebite was on the boy’s leg. The wound was deep and there were two large fang marks. Although she didn’t know what kind of snake it was, it was definitely poisonous.

“Big sister, I don’t want to die. Please save me.” The boy said crying.

She bent the boy’s leg and let him lie down.

“You shouldn’t move around after you’re bitten by a snake. Big sister has a way to save you, but you must cooperate.

“Okay, big sister. I’ll cooperate.”

The boy grabbed her arm in panic, like he had found the last piece of driftwood as he drowned.

Tang Beibei wanted to find a rope to make a tourniquet. She looked around and saw Jiang Jingchen’s belt.

She grabbed his belt. “Hubby, remove it and give it to me.”

Jiang Jingchen was speechless but he did not hesitate. He gave Tang Beibei his belt and helped to tie it around the boy’s leg to restrict his blood flow thereby slowing the spread of poison.

“I need a sharp knife and water now.”

Jiang Jingchen immediately untied the garrote wire on his wrist. At the end of the wire was an extremely sharp, foldable knife, which was used to slit the enemy’s throat after trapping him.

It was a weapon Jiang Jingchen used for self-defense, hence his secret. However, his wife was saving someone’s life now. He was willing to give up his secret.

He turned and ran back to the car to get the first aid kit.

The first aid kit in the car was stocked with the most basic medicines.

He ran back to Tang Beibei panting and looked at the woman as she calmly made a cross with the blade on the boy’s wound and squeezed it with both hands to force the poisonous blood out.

“Water.”

He unscrewed the cap of medical grade hydrogen peroxide, which was a good disinfectant for wound cleansing.

Tang Beibei took the cup and poured some cleansing solution on the boy’s wound. The boy felt pain and grabbed Tang Beibei’s arm tightly, but he held back his tears.

After the most basic treatment, Tang Beibei began to press down on the acupoint on the boy’s leg to slow the blood flow to his heart.

Jiang Jingchen also helped by sprinkling antiseptic powder on the boy’s wound. At this moment, the boy’s mother brought some villagers over to send the boy to the hospital.

Tang Beibei said, “The boy can’t move around. We’ll wait for the ambulance

here and let the professionals handle it.”

“Who are you? Nonsense. How can we not send him to the hospital after a snakebite? He can die!” An old farmer who rushed over shouted angrily.

The boy’s mother also cried and said, “Don’t harm my baby. He’s Old Zhang’s

only child. If anything happens to him, I won’t let you off.”

The boy wanted to speak, but Tang Beibei stopped him.

“The most important thing for you now is to relax your breathing. Don’t get worked up if you want to live. It will speed up your blood flow and spread the poison faster.”

“The doctor will be here soon. You will be fine. Trust me.”

Tang Beibei ignored the villagers’ complaints and asked the children, “What does the snake look like? The doctor will need to know what kind of snake it is for effective treatment.”

“Very long!” A child began to speak.

“It has a brownish-black and yellow back.”

“And a big triangular head.”

“It seems to have long teeth under its head, and its belly seems to be white.” Jiang Jingchen recorded the information provided by the children and began to search for it. “Obedient Beibei, it was probably this snake, the sharp-nosed viper.”

When the villagers saw that, they were so scared that their faces turned pale. “This is the hundred-step snake. Oh my god, someone bitten by this snake could die! Old Zhang’s wife, quickly take your child to the hospital!”

The hundred-step snake was a very poisonous snake.

Tang Beibei looked around anxiously. There were no herbs here that could treat this snake venom.

“If the doctor knows that he has been bitten by a snake, they will probably

bring along some antivenom.”

Antivenom was used to counter snake venom.

The villagers still wanted to send the child to the hospital. Tang Beibei tried to stop them but a man pushed her away. She was squatting, lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Jiang Jingchen’s face darkened, and he looked at the villagers with a sinister gaze. He helped Tang Beibei up and shielded her behind him.

“My wife said to wait for the doctor here. This child can’t be moved around now!”

“She’S not a doctor. She can’t save my son. If anything happens to my son, I’ll sue you for murder!”

Not far away, the siren of an ambulance sounded.

Jiang Jingchen asked, “Obedient Beibei, what should we do now?”

Tang Beibei replied, “Hubby, carry him to the roadside.”

Jiang Jingchen squatted and picked up the child. They were on an embankment in the fields, the ambulance wouldn’t be able to reach them. Taking the child to the roadside could save some time.

When the ambulance stopped, Jiang Jingchen also arrived at the roadside. Nurses and a doctor got out of the ambulance.

Tang Beibei explained quickly to the doctor, “The child has been bitten by a sharp-nosed viper. We’ve already performed first aid. We’ll need antivenom to counter the poison now. Did you bring any antivenom?

The doctor took out a medicine box. There was a row of antivenom inside to counter different snake venoms.

The doctor checked the boy’s wound and then looked at Tang Beibei.

“You handled the wound well.”

He injected antivenom into the boy and asked the nurses to carefully push him into the ambulance.

The child shouldn’t be in life danger after he was injected with antivenom. He would be sent to the hospital for monitoring and follow-up.

After the doctor closed the door, he looked at Tang Beibei and asked, “Are you a doctor?”

“No, I’m a medical student.”

“You did a good job with first aid. Are you already an intern?”

“No, I’m only a sophomore.”

The doctor took off his mask in surprise and looked at Tang Beibei. “This boy has been bitten badly by the snake. The poison would have spread very quickly if he moved around after being bitten.”

“Fortunately, you restricted his blood flow by tying his leg and cleaned his wound. You saved his life.”

“Your actions have surprised me. You are an outstanding medical student.” Tang Beibei was embarrassed by the praise. “I just did what I learned, not something outstanding. The child’s life is not in danger now. That’s the best thing.”

The boy’s mother heard the doctor say that her son’s life was no longer in danger after the antivenom injection. She finally recovered from her shock and cried tears of joy.

The boy raised his hand and looked at Tang Beibei. “Thank you, big sister. Tang Beibei smiled. “It’s good that you’re alright. Get well soon.” The boy tugged at his mother. “Mom, this kind big sister saved me. She’s amazing.”

The boy’s mother recalled the disrespectful words she had said to Tang Beibei before. Her face turned red, and she almost knelt before Tang Beibei.

Tang Beibei was so shocked that she quickly held her up. “Sister, you’re welcome.”

“I’ve wronged you, miss. You’re a real good person. If it weren’t for you, my son might not have made it.”

Tang Beibei was at a loss for words. “Sister, your son needs to go to the hospital now. Please go with him in the ambulance.”

The boy’s mother nodded. She jumped into the ambulance and hugged her son, crying happily.

The old villagers who scolded Tang Beibei for delaying the boy’s illness were a little embarrassed when they heard the doctor say that she was the one who saved Old Zhang’s kid.

The old farmer who was going to sell cow dung to Tang Beibei said, “Miss, you saved Old Zhang’s family. Whatever you want, just say it.. I’ll give it to you for free!”
