Chapter 1436 - 837:
As soon as Meng Yu finished speaking, Third Uncle and Li Gang leveled the stretcher."Slow down. It’s crucial to go slowly when descending the mountain. Ensure the patient remains stable. Another fall could lead to more serious consequences," Meng Yu cautioned as he watched them open the stretcher.
Third Uncle nodded in acknowledgment.
Working gently, he and Li Gang, along with Zhang Qinchao, eased Grandpa onto the stretcher.
Seeing their coordinated movements, Lai Dongsheng realized that, with four or five people carrying, there wasn’t space for him to help.
So, he walked ahead down the mountain, clearing the path of stones and wood to make their descent smoother.
Meanwhile, Li Yushi and Song Min also approached.
Grabbing one of the following armed police officers, they asked, "What’s the situation with Old Liu now?"
The officer had a grave expression and replied, "I just heard from the doctor that it’s a stroke. Now Li Gang and the others are taking him down to the medical room."
Li Yushi’s worry deepened upon hearing this.
A stroke.
It’s a troublesome issue for the elderly; one careless moment can leave significant aftereffects and it’s extremely challenging to treat.
Song Min, supporting Grandpa, was momentarily at a loss for words to comfort him.
So she simply helped him walk downhill.
....
On the other side, behind Li Yu.
While working in the Outer City with Second Uncle, Li Yuan heard the news and immediately paused her tasks.
After briefly informing Second Uncle, she hurriedly ran towards the Inner City.
Li Yuan was previously in medical school, but she was only a junior. Compared to someone like Meng Yu, a medical school graduate with years of clinical experience, her medical skills were indeed lacking.
Moreover, since Li Yu had entrusted her with part of the warehouse management, she spent most of her time busy with that.
In the Inner City medical room, Meng Yu was mainly responsible.
But upon hearing her Grandpa’s accident, she panicked.
She ran, tears streaming down her face.
In her heart, Grandpa seldom spoke, yet every visit to his house culminated in him kindly cooking green bean soup for her.
Despite the prevalent gender bias in rural areas, Grandpa showed none of it.
Recalling how he affectionately called her "Yuan Niu" and their trips to the market, tears flowed like rain.
People tend to imagine the worst.
It’s human nature.
When something happens to someone you deeply care about, your mind involuntarily veers towards the negative, making you more anxious and worried.
Li Yuan was just such a person.
She sprinted crazily towards the Inner City.
...
At that moment.
At the medical room entrance, Li Yu arrived just as Third Uncle and Li Gang, carrying the stretcher, met him.
Li Yu’s demeanor was serious yet stable like Taishan, as if unaffected by Grandpa’s incident.
But he had been trembling while running over.
As the pivotal figure at the Big Camphor Tree Base, he must maintain emotional stability, no matter how worried, never to lose his composure completely.
"What’s the situation now?" Li Yu inquired, approaching Meng Yu.
Meng Yu, upon seeing Li Yu, began, "It’s initially determined to be a stroke, but the priority now is clarifying the condition, requiring CT and other checks to prescribe accordingly afterward!"
Li Yu, upon hearing this, offered no further questions.
Time is money, and he’s not a specialist.
One of Li Yu’s strengths is fully trusting professionals in unfamiliar fields.
Like the recent Mountain Pond reservoir construction.
He simply instructed, "Alright, since time is urgent, proceed to check immediately."
Then he picked up his walkie-talkie, contacting Liu Pengfei, as extra staff, and the TCM doctor Hua Qian, along with the base’s nurses to gather promptly.
Though unsure of their effect, it’s better to have them present.
Those people know medicine and might provide some assistance.
Additionally, Li Yu noticed the arrival of Father Li, Mrs. Li, Uncle, Second Uncle, Aunt, and Grandma.
Considering briefly, Li Yu instructed Li Hang and Li Gang running over, "Explain to them not to worry. Grandpa’s unconscious, and it’s inconvenient for too many to approach now."
"Grandma may be hard to stop..." Li Hang, facing Grandma rushing over, expressed worries.
"Alas... I’ll handle it." Li Yu then moved towards his mother and Grandma.
In such scenarios, too many people nearby are not ideal.
Despite concern, it hampers time efficiency.
For Li Yu, the priority is rescuing Grandpa, still unconscious, sparing Grandma from additional worry.
Once Grandpa was transferred to the medical room, Third Uncle saw Meng Yu and a nurse enter.
He closed the door and prevented Lai Dongsheng, Song Min, and others from entering, saying, "Go back to work. There are doctors handling it here. You staying around isn’t much help, return and work; if needed, you’ll be called."
Despite wanting to stay, Lai Dongsheng, seeing the gathered Li Yu family members, said nothing further.
He and Song Min returned to work at the Mountain Pond.
