An Emergency on the Train

When children fight, their strength isn't particularly great.

Even with training, serious injuries are generally unlikely.

Li Chong was still sobbing and choking, but Su Ziyang, after hearing Xu Jialiang's words, didn't bother to care anymore.

This kind of thing is not uncommon.

Because whether it's a school or a place like Old Feng's boxing gym, with lots of kids, there will always be some who are a smart aleck.

Children cannot choose their family or their origins.

Therefore, everyone's family is different, and their living environment is different. What everyone learns is mutual respect, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, rather than some other miscellaneous things.

Su Ziyang remembers that when he was a child, the competition in school was about who had the best grades, who did the most chores in class, who helped their parents with the most chores at home, and who dressed simply and cleanly.

Nowadays, kids compete on who wears designer clothes, whose family drives a nice car, and whose family lives in a nice house.

A friend once said these two sentences to Su Ziyang: "Western influence is spreading eastward, and the world is going downhill."

The incident of Li Chong scolding Xu Jialiang was not uncommon when Su Ziyang was in school.

However, it is generally referred to as school violence.

School violence sometimes refers not only to physical fights, but also to psychological abuse and other forms of harm.

"Li Chong, you have such a big mouth. Fine, you two go and call your parents. I'll wait here for you to mediate."

Old Feng couldn't do anything about this; all he could do was talk to both sets of parents.

The martial arts gym has 360° surveillance cameras with no blind spots. If parents can't resolve the issue and want to pursue other procedures, that can naturally serve as evidence.

Zhang Chong was kicked quite hard at the last two kicks, and the child was struggling to breathe.

Old Feng possesses Water and Fire Kung Fu, so helping others regulate their breathing is naturally a piece of cake for him.

Old Feng gently rubbed Zhang Chong's back, who was still sobbing, and a surge of warmth flowed in, calming his slightly disordered breathing.

It wasn't in much pain at first, but now that he felt better, Zhang Chong stopped crying and took out his phone to call his father.

Su Ziyang did not participate in the subsequent handling.

However, Su Ziyang saw that Xu Jialiang's mother was indeed an elegant and exceptionally beautiful middle-aged woman. As for whether she was a mistress, Su Ziyang had no interest in Eight Trigrams about it.

After a minor incident, Su Ziyang's trip to visit his master's friends came to an end.

Before leaving, Old Feng insisted on driving Su Ziyang to the station. Su Ziyang couldn't argue with Old Feng, so he had to agree.

"Su Ziyang, you're welcome here anytime. Uncle Feng is your friend. Come visit anytime!"

Su Ziyang boarded the train, bid farewell to Old Feng, and was about to return to work.

Fairy Li had just arrived home after going out to arrange things for others. Su Ziyang chatted with Fairy Li for a couple of minutes on the phone before hanging up.

After sitting for a while, Su Ziyang took out his phone and explained Old Feng's situation to Yang Tianzheng in detail via WeChat.

"Okay. I know, but I mainly wanted you to go see his kung fu. It's fate if you learn it, and it's understandable if you don't. The world is a big place, full of wonders. As long as you understand!"

Yang Tianzheng sent Su Ziyang a message. Su Ziyang glanced at it, smiled, put his phone away, crossed his arms, leaned back in his seat, and closed his eyes to rest.

About forty minutes after the train started moving, the train's announcement system suddenly came on.

"Are there any medical workers on board? A passenger has suddenly fallen ill and needs emergency treatment. If you are a medical worker, please go directly to carriage 10, or contact the train crew in your carriage."

The broadcast was repeated seven or eight times before it stopped. As a doctor, Su Ziyang naturally heard it too. Just as he was about to stand up, Su Ziyang suddenly heard the broadcast stop.

As soon as the broadcast stopped, Su Ziyang assumed that another doctor had arrived and the problem should be solved.

Moreover, with only fifteen minutes left until the next station, the train would surely have arranged for an ambulance at the next stop after this incident.

When Su Ziyang tried to stand up, he suddenly felt dizzy, a very unpleasant feeling.

So Su Ziyang sat back down. Usually, when he was in this situation, he shouldn't do anything rash; if he did, he would definitely be unlucky.

Adding to the earlier announcement, Su Ziyang felt a slight unease.

This unease tormented Su Ziyang's heart.

Since the incident of helping an elderly person, the saying "you can't judge a book by its cover" has become increasingly common, greatly reducing the number of people in society who want to or are likely to act bravely and righteously.

This makes the saying in "The Great Physician's Sincerity" even more distant.

"Do not hesitate or look back, worry about your own fortune or misfortune, or cherish your own life. When you see others suffering, feel as if you yourself are experiencing it. Be deeply saddened and do not avoid danger or peril. Day and night, in cold or heat, in hunger or thirst or fatigue, go forth to rescue them with all your heart, without any thought of seeking personal gain or recognition."

Just as Su Ziyang was hesitating whether to go and take a look, the broadcast started again.

"Are there any medical workers on board? A passenger has suddenly fallen ill and needs emergency treatment. If you are a medical worker, please go directly to carriage 10, or contact the train crew in your carriage."

Never mind.

Su Ziyang jumped up from his seat, just as two railway police officers were passing by.

Su Ziyang said to the train police officer, "Brother, I'm a doctor. How is that patient you were talking about? Does he need any help?"

"Yes, we need to hurry. There's a doctor in carriage 17, we'll be there right away. Come on, brother, I'll take you there first. Xiao Wang, go get the first aid kit from carriage 1."

A train police officer hurriedly led Su Ziyang Su Ziyang to carriage number ten.

By this time, everyone had consciously formed a circle, giving one person space to lie down on the ground.

"Everyone, make way! The doctor's here! The doctor's here!"

As soon as the train police officer shouted, everyone spontaneously made way. Su Ziyang quickly walked to the person lying on the ground.

The man was lying motionless in the aisle, vomiting something.

After squatting down, Su Ziyang put his hand to the person's nose and found that the person was no longer breathing. So Su Ziyang immediately pinched the person's wrist.

The cunkou pulse was gone, so Su Ziyang quickly checked the renying pulse, which is where the carotid artery pulsates, and sure enough, it had stopped beating there as well.

Su Ziyang quickly pried open his eyelids and took a quick look at his pupils. He found that the pupils had dilated somewhat, but not very noticeably.

"Dead?"

Su Ziyang felt a chill in his heart.

Then, suddenly remembering something, he quickly reached out and touched the person's chest, finding it still warm.

"If there's warmth in my chest, then there's hope!"

Su Ziyang was secretly delighted.
