Chapter 34: Saving Shen Yuchuan Again
Shen Lingning, this little girl, is calm, decisive, knows first aid, and even knows some folk remedies...
This kid Zhou Weiguo found a treasure!
"Comrade Shen... Lingning."
Mr. Zhao's voice was weak but clear: "Thank you so much... I will never forget your life-saving grace..."
He paused, looking at her deeply, "Weiguo...he found a good wife."
Shen Lingning lowered his eyes humbly: "Commander, you are too serious. I hope you are safe."
But her heart moved slightly: Mr. Zhao mentioned Zhou Weiguo again, should she inquire about the news or not?
Then, he heard Elder Zhao whisper, "Zhou Weiguo is fine, but he won't be back for a while. You have to be patient. This matter is top secret."
When Shen Lingning heard this, he looked up with tears in his eyes, subconsciously hugged Fubao tightly, and nodded gently to Chief Ao.
Seeing that Shen Lingning understood what he meant, Mr. Zhao waved his hand and had someone carry him to the bunk.
After a while, the captain of the flight police also rushed over after hearing the news and learned what had happened.
I have great admiration for Shen Lingning. His ability to handle emergencies is textbook-level!
He repeatedly said: "Please rest assured, Chief, we will definitely strengthen the security of the soft sleeper cars and will never let anyone get close to them again."
It was late at night and the train was running in the darkness.
Shen Lingning coaxed Fubao to sleep, but he himself was not sleepy at all.
Mr. Zhao's condition has stabilized, and Xiao Zhang is staying by his side all the time.
Chen Manli was burned, and Chen Guodong calmed down temporarily, seemingly away from his troubles.
But based on the past history between the two families, the Chen family father and daughter would definitely not let her and Fubao go.
However, now is not the time to worry about it. The most important thing now is that she needs to find Zhou Weiguo first...
As for the Chen family's father and daughter, we'll wait until she grows up a little more fully grown. Before that, we'll talk about it.
Is it okay to charge some interest first?
Shen Lingning was thinking about how to teach Chen Guodong and the others a lesson before getting off the car, and Fubao, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes, as if he sensed something?
"Mom, go to the back boxcar."
Fubao pointed at the freight car with a serious face and a soft cry.
Just as Mr. Zhao was out of danger and guard Xiao Zhang was still in shock, Shen Lingning had already stood up suddenly with the child in his arms.
"The leader needs to rest! Comrade Shen, it's dangerous outside!"
Xiao Zhang subconsciously blocked it, his eyes vigilantly scanning the dim passage at the connection.
The train was passing through a tunnel among the mountains, and it was as dark as ink outside.
Shen Lingning's face was pale with worry and Mr. Zhao's condition, but his eyes were unusually sharp and calm: "Comrade Zhang, Fubao would never cry like this for no reason! I'll take her around here and won't go far. The chief needs you to guard here even more!"
She spoke quickly and clearly, pointing out the pros and cons, leaving no room for doubt.
She no longer looked at the guard, and holding Fubao, whose face was red from crying, she opened the door of the box without hesitation and rushed to the junction where the cold wind was howling.
A cold air current carrying coal dust blew in my face.
Fubao's little finger was firmly gripping the car window, pointing to the closed, sealed carriage vaguely visible in the darkness behind.
Shen Lingning hesitated, even though the mother and daughter had established unquestionable trust over the past few months.
But Chen Guodong and his daughter were still waiting for an opportunity to strike. The train was full of people of all kinds...
She is a mother now and she can no longer put herself and Fubao in danger.
This is not a wise move!
But……
"Bad...it hurts...save people...sealed car..."
Fubao's voice was intermittent and full of urgent pain.
Shen Lingning's heart sank to the bottom.
Stifled truck!
That's for hauling coal or livestock!
How could there be someone here?
The person Fubao asked to save must be a very important person.
Shen Lingning held Fubao in his arms, stroking her back gently while thinking of a solution.
Her eyes swept over the rusty iron door and the thick bolt at the joint, and her mind raced...
Breaking the door by force would make too much noise and would certainly alert the train police and any possible surveillance personnel.
She caught a glimpse of an oily maintenance hook in the tool compartment next to her.
The train was entering a curve and the friction between the wheels and the rails made a loud noise.
Good opportunity!
She quickly grabbed the iron hook and, using all her strength, accurately inserted the hook tip into the gap of the rusty door bolt, then pried it open with the help of the shaking of the train's turn!
"Crack!" The harsh sound of metal friction was drowned out by the huge noise of wheels and rails.
The bolt is loose!
She exerted more force and opened the heavy iron door to a gap just wide enough for one person to pass sideways.
A strong smell of coal ash and an indescribable stench of decay hit me in the face.
The carriage was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Shen Lingning quickly took out the old-fashioned Tiger Head flashlight from the space and turned it on.
Dim beams of light pierced the darkness, and coal dust filled the air like thick fog.
She held her breath and put gauze scarves on her and Fubao's mouths and noses. She stepped on the thick coal dust and groped in the direction Fubao sensed, taking one deep step and one shallow step.
Finally, the beam of light swept across the corner of the carriage. Next to a pile of scattered coal, there was a figure curled up, almost blending into the coal ash.
His worn cotton-padded jacket was soaked and crusted with blood and coal dust, his face was covered in dirt, and his breath was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.
Shen Lingning walked up to the man with a flashlight in hand and straightened his face. It turned out to be Shen Yuchuan?
On his exposed wrist, there was a wound so deep that the bone could be seen. It was already black and swollen, and the broken finger was even more horrible to look at. The whole person looked like a broken doll, emitting the breath of death.
"hiss……"
Even though Shen Lingning was mentally prepared, he still gasped.
The injury is too severe!
High fever and coma, serious wound infection!
When Fubao saw Shen Yuchuan, his crying miraculously subsided, and he stretched out his little hand, eager to touch his cold fingers.
The moment her little hand touched Shen Yuchuan's fingertips, Shen Lingning keenly felt that the body temperature of her daughter in her arms seemed to rise a little bit in an instant, and then returned to normal.
And Shen Yuchuan's breathing, which was so weak that it almost stopped, seemed to... extremely weakly... rise and fall?
Shen Lingning didn't have time to figure out whether this momentary abnormality was an illusion or something else.
She quickly took out a clean cotton cloth from the space, dipped it in spiritual spring water, and carefully wiped the dirt on Shen Yuchuan's face and wrists, exposing the wound.
The refreshing scent of the spiritual spring water is almost inaudible in the turbid air.
She applied another cold cloth soaked in spiritual spring water to his burning forehead, pinched open his cracked lips, and used a small spoon to very slowly feed him warm water mixed with a small amount of spiritual spring water.
Then use the torn clean cloth strips to carefully bandage the wounds on his wrists and broken fingers.
This was a game she played with her grandfather when she was young based on the first aid knowledge in an ancient tea book. She didn't expect it to come in handy now.
After doing all this, she was sweating profusely. Although Shen Yuchuan's breathing was still weak, it seemed to have stabilized a little, and the burning sensation brought by the high fever also subsided slightly.
At this moment, hurried footsteps and shouts came from the connection: "Comrade Shen! Comrade Shen, are you in there?"
It was Xiao Zhang who came with two flight attendants.
Light and voices poured in.
