Chapter 237 Crossing Mountains and Valleys to Rescue People

The rain continues in the disaster area, and the search and rescue work is ongoing.

During this period, there were also aftershocks and secondary collapses from time to time. Everyone was walking on a dangerous tightrope, and they could lose their lives at any time.

But in the face of great disasters, everyone is exceptionally united.

Fang Hao and his soldiers are searching.

Xia Yuhuan and other supporting military doctors are searching.

Even many local residents who were not injured or only had minor scratches that did not affect their mobility spontaneously joined the search for the injured.

As the number of people increased, the number of people rescued naturally increased as well.

Some were slightly injured, some were seriously injured, some were barely clinging to life and could only do their best and leave the rest to fate, and some were already dead.

In just a few short days in the disaster area, Xia Yuhuan had already witnessed the full spectrum of life.

Life and death, all played out before her eyes.

Of course, there are also deeply moving emotions.

For example, the couple she rescued on her first day in the disaster area.

The first thing the man who had undergone surgery said when he awoke from his coma was, "Where's my wife? How is she?"

Despite being injured and unable to move, he was restless and tried to get up to find his wife.

The medical staff held him down and told him, "Your wife is fine. She has been rescued and has given birth to a lovely and beautiful daughter for you."

The man stood there in disbelief, his eyes wide, and asked, "Really...really?"

"Of course it's true. Our Dr. Xia went through a lot of trouble to deliver the baby via C-section and perform surgery on your wife, saving her life. Why would I lie to you?"

"I want to see my wife, I want to see her," the man struggled.

Clearly, he was uneasy because he didn't see anyone.

When Xia Yuhuan heard the news, she came in holding her child.

“Your wife is badly injured, and so are you. You just woke up, so don’t cause any more trouble. Don’t kill yourself later, or all our efforts will be wasted.”

Xia Yuhuan speaks frankly, but without offending men.

His gaze was fixed on the child she was holding in her arms.

He looked at Xia Yuhuan with hopeful eyes again: "Is she my child?"

The man asked nervously.

Xia Yuhuan nodded slightly: "That's right, she is your daughter."

"I was afraid you wouldn't believe me, so I brought it over to show you."

"Behave yourself, take good care of your injury, and we'll let you see your wife once you're feeling better."

As she spoke, she brought the child to the man.

The man looked at the child and, incredulously, reached out and gently touched the child's face.

The child felt the touch, smacked his lips and made a soft humming sound, then turned his head and shook it before falling asleep again.

The man watched, tears streaming down his face.

"Good, good, they are safe and sound, that's good." The man choked up.

He looked at Xia Yuhuan and said, "Thank you, Dr. Xia. If it weren't for you, my whole family would probably be in big trouble."

Xia Yuhuan smiled and said, "No need to thank me. Saving lives is a doctor's job. I'm happy to have saved your wife and child's lives."

The man expressed his deepest gratitude to Xia Yuhuan.

If circumstances allowed, he would have stood up and kowtowed to Xia Yuhuan.

Xia Yuhuan told him to take good care of his injuries before leaving with the child in her arms.

This is Xia Yuhuan's fourth day in the disaster area.

After placing the baby back next to the mother and telling her that her husband had woken up and was doing well, Xia Yuhuan left to continue her work.

For the past four days, almost every member of their medical team has only been able to rest for a few hours each day, and the workload is extremely high.

Xia Yuhuan was alright, after all, she had a spatial ability and spiritual spring water as a source of replenishment, so her condition was much better than the others.

The others were already starting to feel the strain.

Those with poor health are already showing signs of catching a cold and coughing.

In response, Xia Yuhuan could only secretly add spiritual spring water to their drinking water when the time was right, hoping to alleviate everyone's physical fatigue.

Xia Yuhuan was drinking water when Fang Hao rushed over to find her.

"Dr. Xia, could you please come with us?"

Xia Yuhuan quickly covered the water glass, stood up and said, "Of course, what's the situation now?"

"It's a village near the county seat. The road leading to the village hasn't been repaired yet, so you have to go over the mountain."

"The situation in the village is very serious. Many people have died, and there are still many seriously injured people waiting for treatment."

“The road is blocked, so the entire medical team definitely can’t get in. We can only take a limited number of people in, so I’d like to invite you to come with us,” Fang Hao explained.

Although Xia Yuhuan is a girl, Fang Hao is still quite at ease with her based on her performance over the past few days.

She wasn't spoiled like a typical girl, never complained of pain or fatigue, and was very capable. Fang Hao thought highly of her.

It just so happened that it was her turn to be on duty at that moment, so Fang Hao naturally chose her without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll go prepare some medicine to take with me, and then I'll set off with you."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Dr. Xia," Fang Hao quickly said gratefully.

"You're welcome, it's nothing."

As Xia Yuhuan spoke, she quickly went to pack her first aid kit.

Fang Hao also hurried off to attend to related matters.

When Xia Yuhuan went to meet Fang Hao with her medicine kit, she found that Deng Qili, Zhou Shizui, Zhao Xiaolan, and two other nurses were also with her.

Basically, the team is staffed with one doctor and one nurse.

Each doctor and nurse carried a first-aid kit containing basic medications.

In addition, the soldiers traveling with them also carried some medicine, just in case.

"We're ready, let's set off now. The mountain road is difficult, I hope you can all get through it," Fang Hao said, and then led the team off.

Xia Yuhuan's stamina was quite good; she followed behind them without breaking a sweat.

The other medical staff were not as physically strong as Xia Yuhuan.

But after these few days of intense work rotations, I've gotten the hang of it, and right now, my condition is pretty good.

Zhou Shizui said, "I didn't expect that Dr. Xia, who looks so thin and small, would have such good physical strength. You were able to walk such a difficult mountain road without changing your expression. I really admire you."

Xia Yuhuan calmly replied, "I exercise regularly, so my physical condition is pretty good."

"I didn't expect Dr. Xia to be such an athletic person who enjoys exercising," Zhou Shizui said with a smile.

"It's not that I like exercising, it's my grandfather's request."

"My grandfather told me when I was a child that to be a doctor, you must first be healthy yourself, otherwise you won't be able to handle any difficult situations."

"I've been exercising since I was a child, and I've never stopped over the years, except when I'm sick," Xia Yuhuan said calmly.

Her excellent physical condition is due not only to exercise, but also to the blessing of the spiritual spring water.

She couldn't possibly say the latter, but saying the former would be enough to deal with the current situation.

Deng Qili, standing to the side, said with envy, "No wonder you're so tired, but you're always full of energy, like you've been injected with chicken blood. It turns out that all these years of training have been a gift to you."
