Chapter 191: An Accident
"Captain, can you cook?" Zhu Xiaofang asked curiously.
"Otherwise, you do it." Although Zhu Xiaofang shared the same surname, she was not from Gangan Village, but from the nearby Niou Village.
"I can't," Zhu Xiaofang waved her hands quickly. She was two years older than Zhu Yanyi, but as a pampered daughter at home, she did not know how to do such housework.
Zhu Yanyi smiled and said, "I think it is necessary for you all to learn. Actually, cooking is just about heating food until it is done. It only takes more time. The taste depends on the heat and time. Once you master it, you will be fine."
The others did not understand and shook their heads slightly. However, they were not people who never touched household chores. They could still wash vegetables and pots.
Everyone divided the work. When Zhang Xiaofeng returned with the firewood, Zhu Yanyi was already cutting vegetables. Seeing the firewood, Zhu Yanyi asked Zhang Xiaofeng and the others to start the fire first.
They could not cook because they rarely used the stove, but they knew how to make fire at home. Therefore, starting a fire was very simple for them.
"Captain, Captain!" While they were busy, Vice Captain Zhou Zhihong came over hurriedly.
Zhu Yanyi was slightly stunned. She put down what she was doing, wiped her hands, and looked at Zhou Zhihong. "Don't panic. Tell me, what happened?" Since Zhou Zhihong was so urgent to find her, something must have happened.
"A student from Class 1 was bitten by a snake." Zhou Zhihong always knew that Zhu Yanyi was not only the captain of their town's primary school but also the 'Medical Buddha Girl' of the entire Sicheng Town. Every year during the Guanyan Festival, everyone saw Zhu Yanyi praying, and they all respected her. Because of this, in her heart, Zhu Yanyi seemed like someone who could do anything.
Zhu Yanyi nodded to show she understood, but she was not panicked at all. She only said to Zhang Xiaofeng beside her, "You stay here and work. I will be back soon." She casually picked up her schoolbag and followed Zhou Zhihong.
The boy bitten by the snake was crying loudly. Although he was already thirteen years old, this incident made him very panicked.
"The Captain is here." Seeing Zhu Yanyi, everyone automatically made way.
Zhu Yanyi came over and squatted down. The snake bite was on her leg. Zhu Yanyi rolled up her trouser leg and took a look. Her original worry disappeared. "Don't worry. It was a checkered snake. It is not poisonous." Then she took out a small medical kit from her schoolbag, opened it, took out a small bottle, and a homemade cotton swab. She opened the small bottle, and a medicinal fragrance drifted out. Zhu Yanyi dipped the cotton swab in the medicine and began to wash the wound. The student who was crying stopped when Zhu Yanyi arrived. Hearing that it was not poisonous, she was no longer worried. However, since she was bitten by a snake, her calf still felt burning.
After applying the medicine, the burning feeling disappeared. He sat down and stretched his leg, feeling that he was already healed. If he did not see the two small holes from the snake bite on his calf, he would have thought being bitten by a snake was just a dream.
After washing the wound, Zhu Yanyi applied ointment and bandaged it. "It is done. Do not run too much later. When you take a bath tonight, do not wet this bandage. You can remove it tomorrow morning. I guarantee you will be fine."
"Thank you, Captain." A smile appeared on the student's face. "The Captain is really amazing. You can even treat snake bites."
