Before Cheng You could act, someone shouted, "Don't tear it! If you tear it, the bleeding will never stop."
Sister-in-law Yang suddenly grabbed Cheng You, crying, "Can you save my son? You can save him, right?"
Cheng You shook her head, "Auntie, no doctor can guarantee a 100% survival rate for a patient. I can help stop the bleeding and give him the best chance to make it to the clinic."
Sister-in-law Yang was stunned, unable to make up her mind.
She only had this one son; he was her life.
"Sister-in-law Yang, forget it. Prepare for your son's funeral."
"We should still send him to the clinic. What if he can be saved? Don't delay."
"The bleeding is so heavy. He'll be gone before we even reach the clinic."
Listening to them, Sister-in-law Yang jolted and frantically removed the cloth from the wound.
Seeing this, Cheng You quickly sprinkled the hemostatic powder.
"Who has a knife?"
Someone in the crowd handed her a knife. Cheng You took it, cut two slices of ginseng for him to chew, and dripped a drop of condensation fluid into his mouth.
"Ginseng, this girl is really generous."
After all, they were strangers. How many would be willing to give such precious things to others?
Cheng You finished and bandaged the wound.
"Auntie, hurry and send him to the clinic!"
Sister-in-law Yang came to her senses, kowtowed to Cheng You, and said excitedly, "Girl, wait for me! When my son is a little better, I will definitely visit your home to thank you properly!"
"No need to thank me, just hurry and send him away!"
Making it to the clinic should not be a problem.
After the person was carried away, Cheng You looked at her blood-stained hands and suddenly felt a pang of discomfort.
Just then, Cheng Wenyu ran over, "Sis!"
Cheng You smiled at him, "It's okay, everything's resolved. Let's go."
Seeing this, someone asked, "Little girl, where are you going? I can show you the way."
Cheng You said, "The Party Branch Secretary of Yangshu Brigade, Uncle Jiang, is my maternal grandfather. My brother and I are here to visit relatives."
Upon hearing this, someone asked, "Are you the children of Jiang Qing?"
Jiang Qing, she was the prettiest girl in ten villages back then, and most people in the village knew her.
Unfortunately, she married early and left early.
Looking closely, they indeed saw that Cheng You and Cheng Wenyu had a few similarities in their features with Jiang Qing.
Only the Jiang Qing of the old Jiang family could give birth to such beautiful children.
"Come, come, we'll take you there."
In a way, these two children were also half residents of Qili Village.
Moreover, Cheng You had just saved someone from Qili Village, making them even closer.
"Uncle Jiang! Uncle Jiang! Your grandchildren are here to see you!"
The first to come out was Cheng You's eldest maternal uncle, Jiang Dingcheng.
His gaze fell on Cheng You and Cheng Wenyu accurately.
Even after years apart, he recognized these two children at a glance.
"Eldest Uncle!"
"Eldest Uncle!"
Jiang Dingcheng smiled excitedly, "Good! Good! Come in, come in quickly! Your grandfather will be happy when you arrive!"
The old Jiang family had already divided their households. The other three maternal uncles had built new houses next to the old house.
Jiang Dingcheng led them into the house and directly into the main room.
Before entering, a strong medicinal smell wafted out.
Cheng You frowned, "Eldest Uncle, is Grandfather ill?"
A worried look appeared on Jiang Dingcheng's face, and he sighed, "He's old, and his health is failing."
Cheng You glanced at the dirt on her hands and said, "Uncle, let me wash my hands first, so I don't disturb Grandfather."
Jiang Dingcheng had been too happy to notice the bloodstains on her hands.
Now he asked, "What happened?"
Cheng You said, "It's nothing, I just helped someone bandage a wound."
After washing her hands, Cheng You and Cheng Wenyu entered the room.
Old Master Jiang was still asleep. The windows inside were closed, letting in only sparse light.
"Dad, look who's here!"
Old Master Jiang groggily opened his eyes. Cheng You opened a window.
Although it was cold outside, it was important to ventilate. The room inside was almost suffocating.
"Grandfather, I'm Cheng You, and this is Wenyu."
Cheng You pulled Cheng Wenyu to kneel by the bedside.
In just a few years, Old Master Jiang looked ten years older, with white hair covering his head.
"Cheng You... is it Youyou?"
He blinked his cloudy eyes and finally saw the two children by the bed.
"Dingcheng, I'm not dreaming, it really is Youyou and Xiao Yu."
Jiang Dingcheng's eyes welled up with tears, "Dad, it's not a dream, it's really them! They're here to see you today!"
Old Master Jiang murmured, "It really is... it really is..."
Cheng You looked at Jiang Dingcheng and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with Grandfather's health?"
"He fell ill at the beginning of the year. The clinic doctor said his vital energy was injured."
He had taken medicine, but there was no improvement.
He had seen doctors many times, and they all said to just let him rest, that he might not last much longer.
Cheng You took out the ginseng pills from her bag.
"Uncle, please get me a cup of water."
Jiang Dingcheng responded and poured her a cup of plain water.
"Youyou, what is this?"
Cheng You explained briefly, "I apprenticed myself to Uncle Li in our village and am now studying medicine with him. These are ginseng pills we just made, using wild ginseng I dug from the mountains."
Cheng You not only fed the Old Master the ginseng pills but also dripped some condensation fluid into the cup.
"Grandfather, here."
Old Master Jiang drank it from her hand.
He couldn't be sure if it was a placebo effect, but he felt much better.
"Youyou has grown up, and she can even be a doctor now."
He reached out and touched Cheng You's head. This girl was as cute as she was when she was little, just like Jiang Qing.
Cheng You smiled, "Grandfather, I've only just started. I'm learning basic things."
Old Master Jiang looked at Cheng Wenyu, "What about Wenyu? I heard you dropped out of school?"
The old Jiang family had fallen out with Cheng Tianhua. The Old Master longed to see his grandchildren but had no way to do so.
He could only hear about them through rumors.
Cheng You said, "He dropped out before, but he went back to school in September. His teachers all praise him for being smart and learning quickly."
Old Master Jiang nodded with satisfaction, "Good! Just like your mother, your mother was also very smart! Youyou, then why aren't you going back to school? You're still young."
Cheng You shook her head, "What would I go back to school for? I'm studying medicine with Uncle Li now, and I have to read a pile of books every day. My head is spinning."
Her distressed look made Old Master Jiang and Jiang Dingcheng laugh.
"You, this aversion to hardship, you're very much like your mother."
Cheng You giggled, "I was born to Mom, of course, I'm like Mom."
She placed the ginseng pills on the bedside table and said, "Grandfather, these ginseng pills can replenish vital energy and nourish the body. Remember to take them every day, and your body will surely recover."
"Okay, Grandfather remembers!"
Old Master Jiang was truly touched. He thought he would never have the chance to see these two grandchildren again in his lifetime.
