Chapter 19: The Future
"He lay on top of the child, put his mouth to the child's mouth, stared into the child's eyes, and held the child's hand......"
This is the Old Testament account of E1isha saving a child.
"Save yourself from hanging,...... If the heart is slightly warm, there is still a curable prescription for a day: slowly hold and untie, do not intercept the rope, and lie down and down. …… One person presses his hand on his chest and moves it several times, and one rubs his arm and shin to bend and stretch it, and if it is stiff but gradually bends it, and presses it on his abdomen, so that the breath comes out of the mouth. ”
This is recorded in "Jin Kui Miscellaneous Treatment", Zhang Zhongjing's account of rescuing the hanged.
Through the blessing of rebirth, the words he saw in his previous life because of a moment of curiosity were actually imprinted in John's mind at this time, so that he finally had a basis to deal with the old Huntelaar's questioning. Of course, it is impossible for John to recite these two passages directly, he just roughly describes it, and explains that there is a reason why he dares to let a middle-aged woman do that.
But he didn't know that in fact, there had been reports of successful cases of mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration for decades, but it didn't attract much attention.
"Fortunately, the situation is urgent, and I didn't let the woman do it strictly according to the standards, otherwise it would be really troublesome."
Remembering that in order to avoid suspicion just now, he chose to command a middle-aged woman to rescue his daughter, but it was only about the same, John was secretly glad and sweated for himself at the same time.
Because there was a big man in the field of first aid in the hospital in the previous life, every time the latest version of the "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Guide" was released, the hospital had to organize doctors and nurses to conduct a training in basic life support. John remembers clearly, there are strict rules on manual insufflation and chest compression, such as the order between them, the proportion of times, the frequency, etc., if it is really to be carried out according to the standard, not to mention that the woman may not be able to do it, even it is difficult to explain.
After listening to John's explanation, old Huntelaar's furrowed brow gradually relaxed.
The old Huntelaar must have never heard of the "Golden Miscellaneous Prescription" or something, but how could he not know the Bible?
And if you think about it at this time, there seem to be a few words in it!
However, looking at his grandson with a smile on his face, old Huntelaar didn't mean to praise him now, but still reprimanded him in a calm face and in a low voice: "Even so, your behavior just now was too reckless!" What if the things in these books are useless? What if you didn't save that girl? Do you know what kind of accusations you will face? ”
"This ......"
John opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but after hesitating for a moment, he sighed softly, nodded and said, "Yes sir, I was just eager to save people, I didn't think too much, and I will definitely be more cautious in the future." ”
After listening to John's explanation, old Huntelaar's face sank again.
It's not because he heard the perfunctory tone in John's tone, but the kid's address to him changed from "grandfather" to sir, which made the old man feel a little unhappy.
Without saying a word, the carriage soon arrived at the hotel where Joshua and the others were staying.
The two of them should come over to take a look at the etiquette, not to mention that the relationship between old Huntelaar and Mr. Stone is quite close, so the two naturally need to make sure that Joshua is okay.
"Did the girl come back to life?"
As soon as she knocked on the door, Emma's eyes lit up when she saw John, and she immediately asked urgently.
"Alive."
John was slightly stunned, nodded and smiled.
He was very happy to be able to save a cute little thing after all, and seeing this girl so lively at this time, he could immediately be sure that Joshua was fine, which made John, who had a good impression of him, feel more and more comfortable.
When I went in, I saw that Joshua's face was basically back to normal, and he was sitting on the bed wrapped in a thick quilt, holding a steaming cup of coffee in his hand.
When everyone saw each other, it was naturally lively for a while.
Emma rushed to tell the others the news that the girl had been rescued, and everyone was so curious about John's magical watch today that he had to explain it again with the reason he had just made, causing a burst of exclamations.
"I think John would be a good fit to be a physician."
After taking a sip of hot coffee, Joshua said with a warm smile on his face: "You have a sense of justice, compassion, and seem to be very sensitive to this knowledge, if you go to study medicine, you will definitely become a very good doctor!" ”
"Huh? I think that's a good idea! ”
After listening to her brother's words, Emma's eyes lit up, and she immediately clapped her little hands and smiled. After today's events, most of the little girl's disgust for John dissipated, replaced by even a trace of admiration and favorability, and her attitude was naturally very different.
The two young men felt that they were quite good, but apart from a flash of complexity in John's eyes, the three of old Huntelaar and Stone all showed disapproving looks.
Seeing that a pair of children seemed to be extremely interested in this topic, Mr. Stone had to clapp his hands and say, "Well, this question is still left to Mr. Huntelaar to decide, and John's age is still young, who knows what will be born in the future?" ”
As an old friend and close collaborator of the elder Huntelaar for many years, Mr. Stone knew very well how rich the old man in front of him was, so he could not imagine that the elder Huntelaar would allow his only legal heir to become a doctor!
Again, this is the United States in 188o!
In the United States in this era, physicians were not the high-class professions of later generations, and medical schools were not the places where only the top university undergraduates could be admitted to later generations.
And......
In New York City, how much do even those reputable physicians earn in a year?
Just look at the smile on the face of old Huntelaar at this time, and you can see that he obviously didn't take Joshua's words to heart.
After chatting for a while, old Huntelaar stood up and smiled, "Although it seems that Joshua is in good spirits, I personally recommend that he rest here for the night, so we won't bother much." ”
"Thank you for your concern."
Joshua quickly stood up and respectfully expressed his gratitude.
Old Huntelaar and Mr. Stone whispered a few more words at the door, and then took John away. Today he had planned to let John and Mr. Stone get to know each other and lay a good foundation for the future, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing, so that everyone's plan for a picnic at noon was completely ruined.
However, in terms of results alone, the elder Huntelaar was quite satisfied.
On the one hand, of course, John was extremely good, although slightly reckless, but it was normal for his age, and the little one's sense of justice, compassion, and decisiveness had been seen by Mr. Stone, and it was easy to gain the favor of this upright gentleman. On the other hand, Joshua's appearance is also very important to old Huntelaar, at least in terms of character.
It can be said that the next generation of the Huntelaar family and the Stone family are very good, and it seems that they get along well with each other, which is very beneficial for the relationship between the two families to continue in the future.
"The key is to train this child well!"
Sitting on the rickety carriage, old Huntelaar's gaze returned to John's again, and he thought to himself.
Perhaps feeling his grandfather's burning gaze, John felt a chill in his heart for no reason, swallowed and said with a smile: "It's almost 12 o'clock, how can we solve our lunch?" ”
Without answering John's question, old Huntelaar pondered for a moment before suddenly asking, "John, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?" ”
"Huh?"
Old Huntelaar's question made John stunned.
Of course, he had thought about this question, in fact, not only thought about it, he had thought about it almost every day for eleven years of rebirth, but there was no answer until now.
Physician?
Scientist?
Entrepreneur?
Investor?
With the memory of his previous life, John can actually do very well in many fields, and with the foundation laid for him by old Huntelaar, he was born with enough capital, and he does not have to work hard to start from scratch, and the road to the future can be said to be smooth.
But......
Too many choices are not necessarily a good thing, at least for John, after listening to his grandfather's question at this moment, he is once again lost in thought, as usual: "What should I do in the future......
