Chapter 433 Being a doctor is also very difficult

When Gu Xiaoxi woke up after sleeping for a while, he found it was raining outside.

It was just a drizzle at first, but by around four in the afternoon, the rain had become very heavy and the convoy stopped again.

Doctor Hu sighed and said, "With such heavy rain, rescue will be more difficult."

"The road is blocked now and the convoy has stopped. I don't know when we can get to our destination." Doctor Li also sighed.

"Looking at the situation, it is estimated that they will not arrive until tomorrow morning." Doctor Mei also sighed.

"I want to go to the bathroom." Ji Yu suddenly said.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

What do you tell them to do when you go to the bathroom?

"I... I don't have a raincoat." Ji Yu said depressedly.

In the end, it was the female doctor from their Ninth Division who held an umbrella and got off the car with Ji Yu to go to the restroom.

Gu Xiaoxi moved the cardboard boxes away, took out a small stove from one of the boxes, and started a fire in the stove with the firewood they had picked.

Everyone else in the car looked at her in surprise. Dr. Gu, did she even bring the stove?

Gu Xiaoxi looked at their expressions and casually explained, "It's for boiling Chinese medicine. It won't be a problem to use it in the car now. I will pay attention to the flames."

Gu Xiaoxi took out a small aluminum pot from the cardboard box, poured some water into it, and then took out a few round bamboo tube rice balls that were slightly taller than the bowls and put them in the pot to steam.

Because the pot was small, she only steamed four bamboo tubes of rice the first time. After heating it up a little, she first distributed the bamboo tubes of rice to Dr. Hu and Dr. Li, and then steamed four more bamboo tubes of rice.

Doctor Hu felt embarrassed and said with a smile, "Doctor Gu is very well prepared."

Doctor Li also laughed, "I never thought I could have a hot meal under these circumstances."

Doctor Mei and others on the opposite side were envious and sad.

"The conditions are bad now. We doctors need to have good physical strength to devote ourselves to the next rescue work. I was sick two days ago, and I was also grateful to Dr. Hu and Dr. Li for helping me. I made a lot of bamboo tube rice before, and everyone can share one. Dr. Mei and his colleagues also had some."

Gu Xiaoxi's last words made Dr. Mei and others feel even more embarrassed.

When Ji Yu and her friends came back, Gu Xiaoxi had just distributed the bamboo tube rice to Dr. Mei and her friends, but coincidentally, there was no portion for them.

When she saw that they had left and everyone else was eating the delicious bamboo tube rice, she suddenly lost her composure.

"Is the meal ready? Why isn't there any for us?"

Nurse Shen hadn't eaten yet either. After hearing Ji Yu's question, she couldn't help but retort, "We don't owe you anything. This is the bamboo tube rice that Doctor Gu brought himself. It wasn't distributed by the military logistics team. Haven't I eaten yet, too?"

"Why can she bring bamboo tube rice?" Ji Yu was so angry that she wanted to cry.

As soon as they left, they had something delicious to eat.

She saw that Dr. Mei's bamboo tube rice contained meat, pork belly, bacon, and green beans, which looked delicious.

Gu Xiaoxi ignored him and steamed a third pot of bamboo tube rice.

Nurse Shen snorted, "If you want to bring it, you can."

When Ji Yu heard this, she sat down immediately, hugged her legs and started crying, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Gu Xiaoxi was speechless. She symbolically steamed the bamboo tube rice for a few minutes. She took it out and gave one to Nurse Shen, kept one for herself, and gave the other two to the female doctor from the Ninth Division.

"These two are yours. Don't throw away the bamboo tubes after eating. Wash them. When we get to the disaster area, I can use them to make medicinal porridge for the patients. I can also use them to hold boiled Chinese medicine."

"Okay." Doctor Hu nodded quickly.

The others nodded as well.

While Gu Xiaoxi was eating, Ji Yu was still crying. Her colleague had clearly given her the bamboo tube rice, but she was too proud to eat it.

After Gu Xiaoxi finished his meal, he boiled a pot of water and asked everyone to fill their kettles.

Just as she was about to turn off the fire and put away the stove, Dr. Mei called her.

"Doctor Gu, can you please keep the fire on for a while and lend it to me to dry some clothes? The clothes I washed yesterday are not dry yet and are all clumped up in my bag! It's raining so hard, I may not have any clothes to change into when I get to the disaster area."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Sure! Go ahead and bake it!"

As she spoke, she took out a wire rack from the cardboard box, assembled it, and then placed it on the stove, creating a clothes drying rack.

Doctor Mei couldn't help but laugh, "Doctor Gu is really skillful."

"My husband is a soldier, and I learned a lot of wilderness survival skills from him."

As she spoke, she took out some waterproof bags from her bag and distributed them to everyone.

"Put your clothes or important things in waterproof bags. It may be more convenient when you get to the disaster area. The rain looks very heavy and may not stop until tomorrow."

"I saw it too. It's already dark now. The rain looks heavier than before." Dr. Hu said as he chose to pack the clothes in a waterproof bag.

It would be very hard for them as doctors if their clothes got all wet.

The convoy was still at a standstill at this time. Although the worries remained, the atmosphere in the back compartment was still good. Except for Ji Yu, she was still hugging her legs and ignored everyone.

Gu Xiaoxi naturally didn't care about her attitude. In order to make Dr. Mei's clothes dry quickly, she even helped use the wind drying technique.

At seven o'clock, the convoy finally moved, but it was moving very slowly.

After Gu Xiaoxi put away his stove, he immediately took a rest.

Although sleeping on your stomach is uncomfortable, the conditions in the disaster area may be even worse.

At 3:30 in the morning, they finally arrived at Fengyu County in the Fengxia Mountain area.

This is the epicenter of the earthquake. Bonfires were burning everywhere in the villages and fields on both sides of the road. Survivors who were left homeless by the earthquake gathered in groups of three or five, burning orange stalks for warmth. From time to time, one could see someone crying with his head in his hands.

In the villages and towns further away, all the houses and buildings were razed to the ground, the originally dark asphalt roads were broken, and terrifying cracks in the ground could be seen everywhere.

Because of these cracks in the ground, it became difficult for the convoy to move forward. Every time they encountered a crack in the ground, people had to get off the vehicle to check and pass through it carefully.

It was not until 8:30 in the morning that Gu Xiaoxi and his friends arrived at a school playground in the suburbs of Fengxia City.

According to the rescue plan, the troops left a small number of people to set up tents and dig stoves to cook, and the rest of the people immediately started disaster relief work.

Gu Xiaoxi originally wanted to go to the scene to rescue people, but the work instructions he received were to set up the first aid station as quickly as possible and quickly start the rescue work.

Although Gu Xiaoxi was not a soldier, he still had to obey orders, so he immediately went to help the soldiers build a tent for the first aid point, and then moved the medicines from the car to prevent them from being exposed to the rain.

While the medical staff were still unpacking the medicines, injured people were brought in.
