Chapter 158: Staying All Night in the Hospital
Watching the sky turn pale, the sky gradually brightens.
After a night of search and rescue, more than 30 people were injured, 12 were seriously injured, and 2 died.
This is tragic news for Zhuifeng Island.
In the face of natural disasters, humans are always insignificant.
Huo Jingchen and Shi Daqiang sat on the ground, neither of them spoke, and the other soldiers were scattered everywhere.
Black Panther lay at Huo Jingchen's feet. Tired after a whole night, he lay down next to him and began to sleep.
A group of people witnessed the rising of the sun, and the search and rescue operation came to an end.
Xia Mi also stayed in the hospital for one night. The hospital was running out of supplies. Before dawn, the troops sent a military ship to Qingcheng.
The hospital should save as much as possible on supplies.
Xia Mi suggested using bandages to differentiate the severity of injuries and give priority to the seriously injured for treatment, as she was worried that essential items such as alcohol, iodine, and bandages would be out of stock later.
By the second half of the night, even the bandages had run out and the first aid work was terminated.
I looked at many people sitting in the aisle, their clothes were wet and dripping with water.
Xia Mi learned from other people in the hospital that most of the houses that came to the hospital this time were in disrepair, and the vast majority were wooden houses and yellow mud houses.
This typhoon can be said to be the largest in twenty years.
There were no signs at all, and there was no time to do any preventive work.
"Xia Mi, how is Chunhua? Has she come out?"
Li Weimin arrived late, covered in dust and wearing a pair of rain boots. The clothes on his arms were torn, revealing the flesh underneath, and the blood had already solidified.
"He is out of danger and has been transferred to the ward, Room 208 on the second floor. Jia Jia is also there."
Li Weimin had heard on the way here that it was Xia Mi and Jiang Shengmei who sent Fan Chunhua to the hospital.
"Thank you so much and my sister-in-law. When your sister-in-law Chunhua gets better, we will treat you to a meal."
Xia Mi nodded, "Okay."
She was just about to ask about Huo Jingchen's news, and before she could open her mouth again, Li Weimin left in a hurry.
Xia Mi had no choice but to swallow her words.
"Xiao Mi."
It was Huo Jingchen's voice.
Xia Mi took a half step back from the ward to the corridor and saw Huo Jingchen standing not far away with Black Panther.
The people sitting in the aisle to rest shrank back when they saw the black panther.
Fortunately, seeing the military uniform on Huo Jinchen, many people recognized him. Seeing the man and the dog, they naturally associated them with a military dog.
Most people are not afraid.
When the black panther saw Xia Mi, his expression did not change, but his tail revealed his excitement and kept shaking.
Its tail slapped Huo Jingchen's calf.
The force was no small effort. Huo Jingchen frowned, but soon relaxed his brows because the black panther was already running towards Xia Mi.
The black panther also knew its own strength and did not dare to jump up to pounce. It just circled around Xia Mi excitedly.
Xia Mi reached out and touched the top of its head, "Black panther."
"It performed well this time. I'll give it some chicken legs next time. Thanks to it, we found seven or eight people who were crushed unconscious."
Those who were originally afraid of the black panther were no longer afraid when they heard this.
This is a good dog. It will save people and will definitely not bite anyone.
Xia Mi raised her eyes and looked at Huo Jingchen. His body was dry, as if he hadn't slept all night. He looked a little haggard, but there were no external injuries on his body.
"Are you okay?"
Even though she had already made the judgment with her eyes, Xia Mi was still worried and asked a question.
"It's okay, what about you?" Huo Jingchen shook his head and looked at her with worry.
"It's okay. After you left, I saw the wind was getting stronger and stronger, so I didn't go out again. Black Panther followed me in."
Both of them will feel relieved only when they hear the other person say that everything is fine.
"You haven't slept all night. I asked the captain, and he said that we have to send the things back by eight o'clock at the latest. There are not many injured now. Why don't you go back and rest first?"
Huo Jingchen observed when he came just now that there were still eight patients who had not been bandaged, and the others were either resting in the infusion room or in the ward.
"It's already half past six, and there's still an hour and a half left. I'll wait a little longer until this is done, then I'll go home and rest, otherwise I'll be worried."
Huo Jingchen didn't force it.
"I might not be back until tonight or tomorrow. This typhoon is stronger than the previous ones. I will probably have meetings in the next few days. Don't worry."
"I'm not worried anymore when I see you." Then, Xia Mi told her about her worries yesterday.
With yesterday's typhoon, if you go out to sea, you will basically never come back.
"I almost thought I was going to be a widow."
Huo Jingchen didn't take it seriously, smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, even if she is a widow, she is a pretty widow."
"You really want me to be a widow. This is the first time I've seen someone curse herself."
Xia Mi stretched out her hand and pinched Huo Jingchen's arm, glaring at him, "You are so generous and considerate of me, why don't you let me go back to Suzhou and find someone now, so that I don't have to follow you and worry about it."
"Then I won't let you go even if I become a ghost. Be careful when you wake up in the middle of the night, and don't be scared by me, your ex-husband."
Huo Jingchen seemed to be back to the way he was when they first met, harsh in his words.
"Don't worry, my boyfriend will protect me. If I get scared and cry by you, he will hug me and comfort me. He might even find a wizard to help you pass away."
Hearing this, Huo Jingchen's scalp tightened and he wanted to cover Xia Mi's mouth with his hands to stop her from talking.
If he continues talking like this, he'll definitely get high blood pressure.
"No feudal superstition allowed." Huo Jingchen said only one sentence.
"This." Where is the feudal superstition in it?
Xia Mi didn't finish the rest of her words because she noticed from the corner of her eye that many people were watching her and Huo Jingchen arguing.
"Come in first."
Xia Mi asked Huo Jingchen to enter the office.
There are no doctors in the office now. They are all in the wards they are in charge of and cannot spare time to go back to the office to rest.
"You can rest here for a while. The instructor just went to see my sister-in-law."
"Sister Chunhua? What happened to her?"
Xia Mi pulled him to sit in Li Jiajia's seat and talked about Fan Chunhua's injury.
After saying that, Xia Mi asked Huo Jingchen to lie on the table and rest for a while, and she would call him when Li Weimin came down.
She will rest after treating the injured, but it is hard to say when Huo Jingchen will rest.
Xia Mi felt distressed and kept asking him to take a break.
Huo Jingchen obeyed obediently and lay on the table to rest. He was tired after a night of rest and fell asleep in almost seconds.
Xia Mi put the thick coat she brought from home on Huo Jingchen.
She left the office quietly, closing the door quietly.
The supplies were just as Huo Jingchen said. They were not delivered to the hospital until eight o'clock, and the hospital was almost unable to accommodate people.
The hospital has two floors, with four rooms on the first floor. Each room has extra beds for six people. Except for the warehouse, all other rooms on the first floor are equipped with stools.
The troops have already taken out their military tents for the mission.
They all camped near the hospital and received a certain number of wounded people whose houses were all blown down by the typhoon. The tents were divided into family units and became temporary residences.
