The most painful thing in the world was to be dreaming of heaven a moment ago and then find yourself in hell the next moment.
Mo Wen was such a person. Two months ago, he was still sitting in the classroom, dreaming of getting into the top university that he loved. Now, he was working as a laborer on a construction site under the scorching sun.
Thinking of his tragic experience, Mo Wen fiercely spat on the ground and raised his hand to wipe the sweat that was continuously flowing down his face. He had just finished moving a cart of bricks and was already sweating profusely.
Mo Wen was a youth of 17 or 18 years old. He had an ordinary face, tanned skin, a lean figure, and a pair of calm eyes. Perhaps children from poor families matured early, as he looked somewhat mature despite his young age.
Mo Wen parked the cement cart that was transporting the bricks by the side of the road. He found a shady spot and sat down. The foreman was not around, so it was a good time to slack off. On a boring and busy construction site, it was blissful to slack off for a while.
He sat on a piece of cement board, his gaze constantly scanning the road. After a while, his eyes lit up. A graceful figure walked out from the opposite side of the road, instantly attracting his attention.
Although the distance was far and he could not see the person's face, her figure was definitely attractive. Especially the way she walked was very elegant, like a professionally trained model.
Although it was just a woman's walk, there was a lot of knowledge behind it. Mo Wen stayed at the construction site all day. The opposite side was the road and sidewalk. In his spare time, he naturally liked to peek at the beautiful women who passed by. Although he could not see their faces from afar, those voluptuous and skinny figures were a feast for his eyes.
It would be great if he had money. Rich people could do evil.
He seemed to have thought of something. He pulled out a green metal disc from his chest pocket. It was only the size of a coin and was tied by a small green metal chain. It looked like a strange necklace.
Mo Wen had accidentally found this item a few days ago when he was demolishing an old house. At that time, he had found an ancient green brick in one of the walls. The green brick was full of potholes and was very dilapidated. He estimated that it was an ancient brick with a history of a hundred years.
If it was an antique with a history of a hundred years, it might be worth some money. However, a green brick, even if it was an antique, would not be worth much.
At that time, Mo Wen had casually thrown the green brick on the ground. However, he did not expect the green brick to break in the middle. A piece of metal ornament fell out from within. It was the strange necklace in Mo Wen's hand.
The cyan metal disc was a little strange. It was divided into eight sections, and all kinds of strange runes were carved on them.
Mo Wen was not familiar with antiques, but he could tell that the thing in his hand was a miniature version of the Eight Trigrams Plate. Ordinary people would hang the Eight Trigrams Plate at home to seek good fortune and avoid calamity as a magical instrument to worship.
Although he was not superstitious and did not believe that the Eight Trigrams Plate had the ability to seek fortune and avoid calamity, he also knew that this kind of ancient Eight Trigrams Plate should be very valuable. It might even be an antique. If he sold it to an antique dealer, it was very likely that he would become rich overnight.
Mo Wen's eyes were filled with longing. He caressed the necklace as though he was caressing his lover. Once he became a rich man, those beauties who only dared to peek at him from afar and secretly drool would all be at his mercy.
"This is bad! Something happened. "
"Something happened! Something had happened! Call an ambulance. "
…
A cacophony of shouting could be heard from a short distance away. Soon after, quite a number of people ran in that direction. At the same time, the shouting also interrupted Mo Wen's beautiful dream.
"What happened?"
He looked in that direction doubtfully. After hesitating for a while, he still stood up and ran towards the place where the crowd had gathered.
The place where the accident happened was not far from Mo Wen. Very soon, he reached the place where the accident happened. Many of his colleagues had gathered there. As his gaze swept across, the situation in front of him gave him a shock. A middle-aged man who was nearing his fifties and dressed in rags was lying on the ground, twitching continuously. His face was pale and he was breathing heavily. Both of his hands were tightly covering his chest, as though he was in great pain.
From his eyes, there was a deep fear, as though he could feel death approaching.
Many of his colleagues had rushed over, but no one dared to step forward. A group of uneducated workers obviously did not know what had happened and did not dare to act rashly.
"Acute myocardial infarction!"
Mo Wen's expression changed slightly. He looked at Lao Zhang, who was twitching on the ground, a little unsightly. He recognized Lao Zhang's illness at a glance. That was because someone in the village had suddenly suffered an acute myocardial infarction and died within a few minutes. He had witnessed the whole process with his own eyes.
The village that he was in was very remote. There was basically no professional doctor in the village. Usually, when they were sick, they would simply use the folk remedies passed down by their ancestors to treat them. There was no specific treatment at all.
His mother was weak and sickly. She had fallen ill from overwork. There was no doctor in the village. His biggest dream was to enter the most famous medical university in the country and become a doctor in the future to treat his mother and the villagers.
Unfortunately, he had failed in his college entrance examination. Originally, with his score, he could have been admitted into the medical department of Hua Xia University and obtained the qualification to enter for free. However, he was replaced by a rich man from a powerful family who used his connections. His score was obviously lower than his, but he was pushed down.
Although with his score, he could still be admitted into other good universities, the exorbitant school fees were something that he could not afford. In order not to burden his mother, he could only give up his studies and start working to earn money.
The construction site was located in the development zone at the edge of the city. It was very far from the city. The nearest hospital's ambulance would take 25 minutes to arrive. However, looking at the condition of the patient, it was hard to say whether he could last for 25 minutes. Acute myocardial infarction could take a person's life within a few minutes.
Last for 25 minutes? That was practically a miracle!
He knew this person. He lived in the same shed as him. His name was Zhang Honest. Usually, everyone called him Lao Zhang. He was an honest man. As he did not have any skills, he could only do the lowest level of labor at the construction site like Mo Wen.
It was said that he had a son who was studying in university. He worked so hard to earn money so that his son could study in university.
Mo Wen looked hesitantly at his workmate, Lao Zhang, who was on the ground. His dream was to become a doctor, so he had a certain understanding of some simple and common diseases. For acute myocardial infarction, he knew a few emergency measures to alleviate the condition.
However, in this day and age, who dared to simply save people? It was naturally a good thing to be able to save the patient. However, if he failed to save the patient and something happened to the patient, the responsibility would probably be on his head.
However, society was so realistic. Perhaps a simple emergency measure to alleviate the condition and prolong the time of death could save a life. However, Mo Wen was like the others around him. He did not dare to rush forward to help.
He took a deep breath and remained silent for a while. In the end, he sighed and walked towards Lao Zhang, who was having an attack. He was not a goody-two-shoes. However, he had a good relationship with Lao Zhang. They were both poor villagers who came out to work. They deeply understood each other's difficulties. Lao Zhang was the pillar of the whole family. His conscience could not bear to watch Lao Zhang die.
"Don't touch him. I am a doctor."
A graceful figure ran from afar. She passed through the messy construction site and jogged to the scene of the incident.
Mo Wen was slightly stunned. He subconsciously stopped in his tracks. A fragrant wind blew and a graceful figure appeared in front of him.
It was a girl. She was extremely beautiful and tall. She was only half a head shorter than Mo Wen. She wore a cream-colored floral dress. The hem of the dress fell to her knees, revealing a pair of slender and fair calves. Her dress fluttered as she ran. She was lovely.
Mo Wen could not help but be stunned. He squatted at the construction site every day and peeked at young girls who passed by. However, this was the first time he had seen such a beautiful girl! A naturally beautiful face without makeup kept replaying in his mind! She did not have any makeup on, but she was stunning.
He realized that the girl in the white dress was the girl whose figure he had secretly fantasized about across the road. Now he knew that not only did she have a good figure, but her face was also extraordinarily beautiful.
The girl ignored Mo Wen and squatted down to check on Lao Zhang's condition. Soon, her beautiful face changed. It seemed that the situation was serious.
Mo Wen also knew that the patient was in shock. The situation was not optimistic.
"Can you help me?"
The girl lifted her head and looked at Mo Wen anxiously. At this moment, Mo Wen was the closest to the patient. Naturally, she looked for him immediately.
"Sure!"
Mo Wen was slightly stunned. He did not expect the girl to look for him for help. However, he quickly reacted and hurried to the girl's side.
"Can you help me to flatten his body and slightly lift his legs?" The girl asked Mo Wen while carefully performing the external chest compression surgery on Lao Zhang.
Mo Wen knew some methods to alleviate myocardial infarction. He quickly followed the girl's instructions. He knew that what the girl said was correct. Lifting the patient's legs was to prevent the brain from being deprived of oxygen. Under the current situation where there was no oxygen tank or other equipment, this was the best solution.
Mo Wen stole a glance at the girl who was focused on treating the patient. A faint fragrance emanated from the girl. It was definitely not the smell of any perfume. He was sure that the fragrance had the effect of relaxing one's mind. The fragrance had the effect of relaxing one's mind. For some reason, Mo Wen gradually became infatuated with the fragrance and subconsciously started to take in deep breaths.
He suddenly realized that his chest was a little hot. It was getting hotter and hotter. It was as if there was a red-hot piece of iron stuck to his chest. His expression changed slightly. He subconsciously touched his chest. He realized that it was the Eight Trigram that he had excavated from the green ancient brick.
