Tang Beibei saw Song Zhou stop. She did not believe that it was the end for Ruan Qi.
She studied medicine and she had read so many books. There was no way she couldn't save a drowning person.
"Song Zhou, bend your knee, turn her over, and slap her back."
Song Zhou turned to look at her. Tang Beibei explained, "I don't know if this method will work but we have to try."
Song Zhou turned Ruan Qi over and supported her stomach with his knee. Tang Beibei got up and pressed a few acupuncture points on her back before slapping her back.
She repeated it a few times, then pressed her philtrum and slapped her back again.
It was very quiet around them and only the sound of Tang Beibei's slapping was heard. Everyone was praying for Ruan Qi, hoping that she would respond.
Suddenly, there was a cough.
The sound was like a growing sprout breaking through desert ground. It was a miracle of life.
