After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 454 Rescue
However, she really couldn't swim and could only anxiously wait on the shore.

Fortunately, among the people who came to drink today, there were actually a few swimming experts. These people could stay underwater for several nights without any problem. They were familiar with underwater life for many years and quickly rescued Su Ping'an and the woman who had fallen into the water.

Looking at Su Ping'an, who was still unconscious, the woman who had fallen into the water with him had disheveled hair and seemed to be in bad shape as well, with her stomach swollen.

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, "Are those two people probably already dead?"

Upon seeing the woman's clothes, Su Xiaoxiao realized that she was the woman who had spoken to Su Ping'an at the banquet earlier.

But there was no time to worry about that now; she had to save him quickly. Su Xiaoxiao went over and saw that Su Ping'an looked unwell. She touched Su Ping'an's chest and found that he was still breathing and had a heartbeat. Although she couldn't swim, Su Xiaoxiao knew some rescue techniques for drowning victims, so she quickly dispersed the villagers who had gathered around to watch.

They left a gap in the middle so that Su Ping'an and Su Xiaoxiao could breathe normally. Then, Su Xiaoxiao forcefully pried open Su Ping'an's mouth and cleared the debris out of it. She then told someone next to her to do the same and help the woman who had fallen into the water.

The person next to me is a village doctor; he came today as well.

However, this person is good at treating illnesses, but he is not good at general first aid knowledge. Based on his experience, he probably thought that the woman was about to die.

But he was, after all, a village doctor, and he didn't care about any of those traditional notions of men and women not touching each other. Nowadays, in the eyes of doctors, treating and saving lives is the same for everyone, without any other considerations.

If you want to be particular, then don't treat illnesses. Do you think you're some kind of queen from Journey to the West? You treat patients without even letting them see your face. She has a curtain drawn around her bed, and Sun Wukong has to stay far away from her, using a rope tied to her wrist to examine her.

Do you think everyone is Sun Wukong? In reality, it's simply impossible. Su Xiaoxiao unbuttoned Su Ping'an's clothes, and the village doctor did the same. When the others saw this, they quickly looked away, and the adults covered their children's eyes to prevent them from seeing.

The saying goes, "Do not look at what is improper, do not listen to what is improper."

"Can you hear if her heart is still beating?"

The village doctor listened to his chest for a moment, then looked up at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "It's beating."

"Okay! Now follow along with me. Just do the same things I do!"

Su Xiaoxiao pointed to Su Ping'an's heart and said, "Here, just press here! Then use this gesture to press down rhythmically!"

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her hands together, interlaced her fingers, and placed the base of her palms on the heart area she was pressing.

The village doctor followed suit. When Su Xiaoxiao pressed, her arms were vertical and her elbows were not bent. She used all the strength of her upper body to press on Su Ping'an's heart.

The depth of the press is about five or six centimeters, and you press down one by one at a speed of one hundred to one hundred and twenty times per minute.

The village doctor, being a physician, quickly grasped Su Xiaoxiao's meaning.

This village doctor was a barefoot doctor from a family of doctors. He was about thirty years old and also surnamed Su. He was the same barefoot doctor that Old Lady Wang had been frequently calling to her home to treat her recently. Those few times, Old Lady Wang really drove Dr. Su crazy. She would pretend to be sick and faint for no reason, but when they went to check, there was nothing wrong with her. She just fainted.

If Dr. Su weren't a relative, he wouldn't have wanted to go and keep up with Old Mrs. Wang's antics. He thought to himself, "That old woman just pretends to be sick all the time, making me waste my time treating her, and then she can't figure it out, and she even takes the blame for my lack of medical skills." Dr. Su also had his pride. He had been practicing medicine in his village for many years; how could he allow himself to be criticized for his lack of medical skills?
But can you wake someone who's pretending to be asleep? Old Mrs. Wang clearly didn't want to wake up, and Dr. Su was at a loss.

Dr. Su is a somewhat reserved person with a detached and otherworldly air about him. He enjoys going up the mountain to collect herbs and study pathology. Although he is over thirty years old, he is still unmarried and has a solitary personality.

He was very thin, with a small goatee under his chin. In Su Xiaoxiao's eyes, he looked a lot like Sun Simiao, the Medicine Sage, whom she had seen in some movies and books. Yes, that was the feeling.

Dr. Su and Su Xiaoxiao began pressing on the woman's chest. After a few minutes, Su Ping'an began vomiting some river water and other filthy substances from the river.

The woman did the same. The two of them finally managed to spit out the filth in their mouths. Su Xiaoxiao then removed some secretions and seaweed from Su Ping'an's mouth and cleaned it up.

This is done to open the patient's airway so that air can enter smoothly; it seems that artificial respiration is also necessary.

These situations were extremely urgent and could not be delayed in any way. Even though the two people hadn't woken up yet, the rescue had to continue. Su Xiaoxiao pinched Su Ping'an's nose tightly, forcing his mouth open. Then, Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head and directly covered Su Ping'an's mouth with her own, blowing air into it.

This action stunned everyone. Although Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ping'an are a married couple, a real married couple, they were kissing in public.

This……

Some adults quickly covered their children's eyes, shouting, "Don't look!"

Actually, they still wanted to see. After Su Xiaoxiao blew a breath into Su Ping'an's airway mouth to mouth, she saw Su Ping'an's chest rise and fall, so she blew a second breath.

However, she noticed something. When she looked up, she saw that the doctor next to her, who was pinching the woman's nose, was now frozen in place, staring blankly at Su Xiaoxiao.

"Dr. Su, what's wrong? Follow my instructions! Just blow air like this, and as soon as you see her chest rise and fall, continue blowing a second breath!"

"No, Xiaoxiao, it won't work here!"

Dr. Su looked extremely awkwardly at the strange woman's open mouth, his face turning red!

"Dr. Su, remember, you are a doctor, meant to heal and save lives. There's no time for all these other thoughts. If you don't do this, the patient will die. Do you really deserve the title of doctor? Do you even deserve it?"

Provoked by Su Xiaoxiao, Dr. Su immediately realized that he shouldn't have acted so coyly just now; there was nothing he couldn't do.

Su Xiaoxiao told him that this was called artificial respiration, a rescue that gives patients a second chance at life.
