Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 162 - 162 162 Saving People

?Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Saving People Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Saving People “Let’s rescue the people first!” Bai Xiao saw it too, and now it was impossible for her to stand idly by. She was a person, an ordinary person. Although her past life had ended in tragedy and she had suffered terribly, that didn’t mean she had lost her humanity or was a cold-blooded animal who could watch others die without feeling.

Perhaps she never was.

Just like now, watching the scene of the car accident, she couldn’t help but feel eager to act.

Expose her special ability?

That was not a problem. Bai Xiao understood the capabilities of her special abilities better than anyone else.

She had only recently obtained her special ability, and it still needed refining. The so-called refining meant that she could fully master and skillfully use her abilities, but her special ability had not yet reached the powerful capabilities she would have later. She remembered clearly that when she first acquired her special ability, it was very weak and it took all her effort to succeed each time.

Of course, there were also severe side effects.

But later on, she discovered that as her special ability increased day by day, eventually she only needed to use a little bit of her power to achieve great effects, reducing her own side effects.

This day-to-day improvement referred to her proficiency. It was through continuously treating others that she could enhance her special ability’s efficacy and reduce the expenditure of her energy. Eventually, she could treat the injuries of a hundred people in one day with ease.

The side effects she had to endure also became smaller and smaller. Sadly, by that time, she had already been controlled by the Energy Medicine and was no longer in control of her own body.

Bai Song wrapped his fist with his clothing and smashed the driver’s side glass window. In fact, it was already broken, but there were still some glass shards left, and he pulled the driver out from the inside.

The driver panicked and grabbed tightly onto Bai Song’s fist. “Don’t worry about me. Look at your clothes; I know what you do for a living. Just listen, the one in the back is a district Chief, a top leader. You must save him at this time, by any means necessary.” Then he pushed Bai Song away, his eyes filled with earnest hope.

Bai Song could only reluctantly turn to the back seat.

The window was too small, and the person was fixed to the seat; it was impossible to move him out.

Bai Xiao glanced and knew what her brother was trying to do. Rescuing this person was too difficult, as he was entirely bound to the seat. Unless the steel pipe penetrating him was pulled out, and once pulled, the consequences were imaginable. There was no medical rescue available at the moment, or rather, medical help hadn’t arrived yet.

Looking at the leader, who seemed to have some silver frost at his temples, in addition to the driver’s words, Bai Xiao could guess this person’s identity was very important.

The person was not unconscious. Though fixed to the seat and unable to move even slightly, his consciousness was still very clear.

“In my current state, you can’t save me. Go and save others first; there are so many people, surely many are severely injured.”

He said these two sentences breathlessly.

Bai Song glanced at Bai Xiao. Bai Xiao saw people being carried down from the buses on both sides, and the station’s open area was filled with casualties. At this time, she couldn’t just not save them. If she were indifferent to preserving her own safety now, she would not be fit to be a person. Anyone should have at least a basic moral baseline and a standard for being human. She couldn’t let her past suffering make her hate the entire society.

She was never that kind of person. No matter what she had encountered before, she thought of retaliating against those who had hurt her in the past, but she never thought about watching innocent people die before her eyes. This had nothing to do with being saintly; she never believed that being reborn meant she should be more heartless and ruthless than others, that others should die. Only those who had hurt her deserved to die, not everyone.

Taking out a silver needle, Bai Xiao pointed at the car door.

Bai Song immediately understood. He exertively pulled the car door out of its compressed, deformed frame and tossed it aside.

“You… you… are…” The injured person saw this move; the surprise was followed by relief.

“Chief, you should see for yourself how I work. Please don’t talk; I need to get you out of here. It might be painful, so please bear with it,” Bai Song said and without waiting, walked directly to the back of the car where the steel pipe had penetrated. He glanced at Bai Xiao, now unable to protect her at this moment.

Bai Xiao nodded at him.

Bai Song gripped the steel pipe and pulled it out forcefully.

The person in the seat passed out from the pain immediately as blood gushed from the chest wound after the pipe was removed.

The person sitting next to the chair quickly pressed down on the wound with a piece of clothing, “Too reckless. The doctor hasn’t arrived yet. This could kill him.”

Bai Xiao impatiently pushed his hand away. “Don’t interfere with my work.”

With a swift motion, a silver needle descended into the unconscious man’s chest.

“What are you doing? Are you a doctor?” the man asked Bai Xiao, incredulous.

“Be quiet!” Bai Xiao’s special ability transferred into the man, gradually stopping the blood from his chest, and the man opened his eyes.

“You…”

“Don’t talk now. I’ve stopped the bleeding. You won’t be in life-threatening danger for the time being. Emergency responders will have to take you to the hospital for further treatment. It’s best not to move right now,” Bai Xiao wiped the sweat from her brow. This time, she had used only a little of her special ability, which she hadn’t been able to manage before because back then her special ability wasn’t capable enough to be used so freely.

But now she could.

Probably because of the recent uses accumulating over time, she had already planned it out. As long as her special ability could control itself, each time she saved someone, she would keep the injury from deteriorating without fully healing them. This way, although her special ability was still consumed, the consumption was minimal.

Any aftereffects would be minor, and it would help her keep her abilities under wraps. Of course, this was thanks to the many times she had practiced and experimented in the village. If she had never used her special ability to save people before, she wouldn’t be able to do this now.

This method of controlling her special ability was only available at higher levels, so her earlier attempts to treat and save people were somewhat overzealous. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to hide it, she simply couldn’t. If she couldn’t manage something on her own, there was no point in trying to hide it.

But now it seemed she could.

Bai Song ran over and, seeing that the bleeding had stopped, nodded in approval, “Good job. Let’s hurry and rescue the others.”

Bai Xiao took out another silver needle and addressed the man next to her, “I’m going to give you a needle too. You must have suffered internal injuries. The shock might have caused internal bleeding.”

The man shook his head, looking over himself. Apart from a fractured, deformed arm, he couldn’t see anything else amiss.

“No need, I’m fine. Go help the others first.”

Bai Xiao shook her head, knowing she had done all she could. If people didn’t listen, there was nothing more she could do.

She twisted around and together with Bai Song, they pulled the driver through the window. The driver also had blood pouring from his head, likely having hit the windshield. Clutching his chest, Bai Xiao immediately inserted a needle, “Brother, lay him flat. It seems he suffered internal injuries from the chest impact.”

The siblings worked quickly together, Bai Xiao directing and Bai Song immediately complying.
