Chapter 93 If you lose your life, you lose everything
"He Peng, go to the tent and rest first."
Ji Lianqi never gave a direct answer and allowed two military doctors to forcibly carry him into the tent to rest.
Another day passed, and the flood in Dayan Village was basically won thanks to the great help from people from all walks of life and the support of the People's Liberation Army.
Then there is the issue of cleanup.
The three people, young and old, were found dead.
But there is still no news from Wei Hongxing.
Just when the desperate Ji Lianqi was about to announce Wei Hongxing's death, the last rescue team sent out miraculously brought him back again.
Seeing Wei Hongxing lying in the lifeboat, covered in mud and with wounds on his face and body, Ji Lianqi's heavy mood finally eased a little.
But I'm still worried and I'm still unconscious, so I don't know what's going on.
With He Peng's previous experience as a lesson, the military doctors did not dare to be negligent and rushed to check Wei Hongxing's vital signs.
Ye Ying was sweating nervously.
I hope Wei Hongxing is OK. If he dies, Sun Lin... will probably cry to death.
Everyone at the scene also held their breath. Time seemed to stand still, and everyone's eyes were focused on He Siting.
At this moment everyone has a common wish.
Fortunately, it was finally confirmed that Wei Hongxing was not dead.
He was only knocked unconscious by a blow to the head, and had some minor injuries on his body.
After hearing He Siting's conclusion, Ye Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaojie's mother, Wu Cuilian, had already collapsed when she learned of her son's death.
When he learned that Wei Hongxing was still alive, he instantly collapsed to the ground.
She had experienced great sorrow and great joy, which drained all her strength.
Ji Lianqi placed Wei Hongxing and Wu Cuilian in temporary tents and had them treated by medical staff.
By this time the flood had basically receded, and the villagers of Dayan Village finally shifted their focus from "life safety" to their crops.
Someone in the family who died in the flood cried in tears after claiming the body.
Most of the deceased were elderly people.
The only person Ye Ying knew was Tian Zhenguo.
According to Ji Lianqi, Tian Zhenguo seemed to have been entangled by something while swimming towards a safe place, and was drowned.
Li Ergou also had one leg broken when the house collapsed. He would most likely be a cripple for the rest of his life. His mother cried her heart out for him.
After the flood, all you could see was crops lying in disarray.
The autumn harvest was just around the corner, and all the hard work of the villagers of Dayan Village for almost a year was destroyed in this sudden flood.
All gone.
Ye Shuncheng looked at the rice fields in the distance, his heart bleeding.
Some villagers even knelt down facing the distant farmland, slapping their thighs and crying in despair:
"It's a natural disaster and a man-made disaster! After working hard all year, everything is gone! Go and starve!"
When Ye Ying saw Ye Shuncheng wanting to cry but unable to, she also shed tears silently.
But she was not upset because of the destroyed crops.
It's because of the PLA soldiers and villagers who lost their lives in this flood.
Ji Lianqi thought Ye Ying was crying because she was worried about the harvest at home, so he comforted her in a deep voice: "Not only have you lost your home, but you have also lost your year's harvest. I know exactly what this means."
"The villagers have worked hard for a whole year just for this month. The harvest is almost here, but a flood has wiped it all out. It would be a lie to say I'm not sad."
“I understand your feelings very well.”
"But if the crops and harvest are gone, we can just plant them again later. If the home is flooded, the country and the government will help everyone rebuild their homes. But if life is lost, then everything is gone."
Ye Ying turned her head in surprise and looked at Ji Lianqi's sharp profile.
His dark eyes, looking into the distance, showed no emotion.
But Ye Ying knew very well that his next words actually had a hidden meaning.
"I...actually it's not because of the crops." Ye Ying explained.
Isn’t it because of the crops?
Ji Lianqi lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Ying, who was a head shorter than him, with a puzzled expression.
Ye Ying sighed and said quietly: "This flood has taken away too many lives and too many things."
"The villagers here have lived here for generations, and have never encountered such an unprecedented flood in their lifetime."
"Not only have they lost their homes, but also their one year's hard work has been gone in an instant. This alone is enough to make many villagers despair."
"But I am even more sad for those who died in this flood! And the PLA soldiers who sacrificed their lives as a result!"
Ji Lianqi listened and looked a little surprised.
In his mind, Ye Ying has always been a rural woman with little ideological awareness.
Although I vaguely knew that she was probably not a woman who could not really read or write, the fact that she could say these words slightly changed my perception of her.
Ye Ying didn't want to say more about this to Ji Lianqi.
If you say too much, you'll seem a bit pretentious.
Suddenly, Ah Xiang ran over and pointed at a little girl lying on the ground behind her:
"Ye Ying, Ye Ying! Is this girl yours? Why did she faint?"
"Go and have a look!"
Ye Ying saw clearly that the little girl was An Xiaotong, and hurried over to pinch her philtrum.
"Girl, what's wrong with you? Wake up."
Ji Lianqi hurried over and only then took a serious look at the little girl who had been following Ye Ying for the past two days.
"Is this a relative of yours?"
"No." Ye Ying said without raising her head, "I rescued this from a human trafficker on the day I returned to the village."
Ji Lianqi was slightly startled and turned to call the military doctor who was applying medicine to the injured comrade in the tent.
After a while, a young male doctor hurried over alone, and Ji Lianqi did not come back with him.
Ye Ying thought he would call He Siting over.
But it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter who comes, as long as they can cure the patient.
During the treatment, Ye Ying asked inadvertently and found out that He Siting was still treating the unconscious Wei Hongxing, so he was the one to take over.
Fortunately, An Xiaotong was not seriously ill, it was just because she hadn't had much rest in recent days.
In addition, she was already suffering from anemia, and what she had been eating in the past few days were basically dry and hard foods with little nutrition, so she fainted all of a sudden.
The male doctor gave her some glucose, then carried her back to the tent to rest for a while, and she woke up.
Seeing that An Xiaotong was fine, Ye Ying felt relieved. Otherwise, she would not be able to explain to her biological parents who were now unknown where they were.
She had to send him home as soon as possible.
