The last scene that Ma Aixi remembered was an out-of-control gurney in the hospital corridor - she had just finished the "Emergency Science Popularization" live broadcast on an internet celebrity account, and was walking to the administration building with the patient files she had sorted out. Suddenly, a cry of "Get out of the way! Hemorrhagic shock!" Came from behind her. She subconsciously turned sideways, but was knocked down by the wheels of the gurney. Her forehead hit the metal cabinet in the corner, and her vision went dark.
When he opened his eyes again, the smell lingering on the tip of his nose was not the smell of disinfectant water, but the fishy smell mixed with soil, vegetation and some kind of livestock excrement. She was lying in a low thatched house, with an earthen kang covered with dry straw beneath her body, and her body covered with a piece of linen cloth that was so rough that it hurt. "Hiss..." She wanted to stand up, but there was a dull pain in her forehead. She raised her hand to touch it, and found sticky warmth on her fingertips - the wound was still bleeding.
"Girl, are you awake?" An old voice sounded next to him. Ma Aixi turned her head and saw an old woman with gray hair wearing short taupe clothes. She was holding a pottery bowl. The bowl was filled with turbid brown liquid. "This is water boiled with mugwort. It can 'suppress shock'. When you were carried back by the caravan yesterday, you had a lot of blood on your head and you kept talking nonsense."
