Hey, where is my sister-in-law?
When Wang Tao turned around, he found that Shao Jingque did not follow him in, so he quickly turned around and went out to look for someone.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped out of the ward, I saw Shao Jingque leaning against the wall by the door, crying silently. Her eyes were red from crying, but she didn't make any sound. I guess it was very difficult for her to endure it.
Wang Tao felt uncomfortable after seeing this, and tried to force a smile on his face and said:
"Sister-in-law, you're still embarrassed. What are you hiding here for? Go in and see Captain Lu. He's awake and must be eager to see you!"
Shao Jingque was at the door just now and heard Fan Shengnan's words clearly.
Thinking about how Lu Zhan had been seriously injured before and was still in critical condition, she felt so sad that she burst into tears.
The more she tried to wipe her tears, the more difficult it became to control her emotions. The tears flowed like a faucet and could not be stopped.
How could she dare to enter the room in such a situation? Patients are most afraid of worrying, and she didn't want Lu Zhan to see her crying.
Seeing Wang Tao come out to call her, Shao Jingque quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face and smiled at him:
"Here I come."
Finally, her hands trembled as she pushed open the door of the ward. Her eyes, still filled with tears, looked involuntarily towards the bed. A familiar yet unfamiliar face appeared before her so realistically.
Just like the face that had appeared in countless dreams of her, the thick sword-like eyebrows, the high nose bridge, and the well-defined jawline seemed even sharper because of his thinness.
But what made her feel unfamiliar was not only the half-finger-long scar on his prominent brow bone, but also the look in his half-open eyes beneath those thick eyebrows as he looked at her.
He was so calm without a trace of emotion, so indifferent that it frightened her.
On the way here, Shao Jingque had imagined the situation of meeting Lu Zhan countless times in his mind, but he never expected that it would be the current situation.
For a moment, she was at a loss, not knowing what to say or do. She felt uneasy standing under Lu Zhan's cold gaze.
Wang Tao also felt that the silence in the ward was a little strange. He thought that only he and Fan Shengnan were present. The two of them were too embarrassed to talk, so he quickly said to Fan Shengnan:
"Doctor Fan, I heard that a platoon leader from our army was also sent to our hospital. Could you please take me to see him?"
Fan Shengnan's inquiring eyes moved back and forth between Shao Jingque and Lu Zhan, her brows slightly furrowed, but she didn't say much and walked out of the ward.
When they were the only two left in the ward, the atmosphere became extremely quiet.
The look Lu Zhan gave Shao Jingque was like cold lake water, sliding across her without any ripples.
Shao Jingque looked at him with tears in her eyes and cried out softly with heartache:
"Land Battle..."
But Lu Zhan frowned slightly, a hint of doubt appeared on his face, and he looked at Shao Jingque as if he was looking at a stranger who appeared inexplicably in his ward.
Shao Jingque tried hard to suppress the strange feeling in his heart, encouraged himself, and walked towards Lu Zhan who was lying on the bed. He carefully reached out to his hand hanging by the bed:
"Lu Zhan, here I come..."
Who knew that before she could finish her words, the hand that was touched by her fingertips immediately moved in the opposite direction, as if it didn't want to be touched by her.
The obvious evasive action made Shao Jingque's face flush. She looked at Lu Zhan in confusion, but found that there was a hint of anger in his eyes now than before.
For a moment, Shao Jingque was both surprised and aggrieved. She couldn't understand why Lu Zhan reacted like this when he saw her. Was he blaming her for being late?
She held back the tears in her eyes and stood beside his bed, like a child who didn't know what she had done wrong:
"Lu Zhan, what's wrong with you? Why are you ignoring me?"
"Are you mad at me? Are you blaming me for being late?"
Shao Jingque felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke. She could no longer hold back the tears as big as beans, which slid down her cheeks one by one. Several of them fell on the cold back of Lu Zhan's hand, and they were as hot as melted wax.
Lu Zhan suddenly felt a burst of hot moisture on his arm, which had become cold and numb due to long-term infusion. His internal organs, which had long lost their perception, seemed to regain consciousness in an instant. Those hot tears were like drops on his heart, which was beating slowly due to hypothermia, making his heart beat vigorously again and transporting more warm blood faster to various parts of the body that needed it.
His slightly dry lips moved, and he looked like he wanted to speak.
Upon seeing this, Shao Jingque immediately stopped crying and looked at him expectantly:
"Do you want to talk?"
Lu Zhan blinked at her, and Shao Jingque leaned over in surprise and put her ear close to his face.
The next second, the familiar voice that had haunted her countless dreams rang hoarsely beside her ears, and it suddenly made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave:
"......Who are you?"
......
Song Yangyu walked out of the meeting room of the Henan Provincial Command Headquarters with a slightly tired look. The content of the five-hour meeting was the analysis of the causes of the reservoir collapse disaster in Henan Province and the review of the response.
Several work meetings on disaster relief measures and post-disaster reconstruction have been held before. As disaster relief and reconstruction work gradually started, the work of tracing the root cause finally produced results.
At this meeting, the investigation results of the disaster conducted by the central government's special envoys in various places and fields during this period were collected, and the final conclusion was finally reached that it was mainly caused by three reasons: abnormal climate, design errors, and ideological misunderstandings.
No meteorological station, whether the Central Meteorological Observatory, the Henan Provincial Meteorological Observatory, or the Zhumadian Regional Meteorological Observatory, issued an advance forecast for that torrential rain. The typhoon's elusive trajectory, outdated observation methods, and inexperienced forecasters resulted in inaccurate forecasts.
The Banqiao Reservoir's designed maximum storage capacity is 492 million cubic meters, and its designed maximum discharge is 1,720 cubic meters per second. However, during this flood, it received a total of 697 million cubic meters of flood water, with a peak flow rate of 13,000 cubic meters per second, far exceeding its pressure-bearing capacity.
There is also an expert group that is too reliant on established flood standards such as "once in a hundred years" and "once in a thousand years", and blindly believes that the Banqiao Reservoir can easily cope with the "once in a hundred years" flood, and can be safe even if it is calculated according to the "once in a thousand years" flood standard that has never occurred. Little did they know that the heavy rain caused by this inland typhoon caused a rainfall equivalent to twice the so-called "once in a thousand years" standard!
Song Yangyu lowered his head and flipped through the densely written contents in the notebook in his hand. He used a pen to underline a line of words.
No signs of sabotage by enemy agents were found in this disaster.
