Chapter 19 Neighbors accidentally injured
Zhou Qiuyang was seriously injured. The knife wound on his back was so deep that the bone was visible, and his skin and flesh were exposed.
Xia Xiaoman frowned, "Such an injury requires stitches. Didn't you go find a rescue team? Have you found out where there is a doctor?"
Ye Xiaojie shook her head. "After he got hurt, we tried to find a rescue team, but we couldn't find one. We were worried that Zhou Qiuyang wouldn't be able to stand being in the rain for too long, so we brought him back first."
"If I had needles and thread, I could try to sew up his wound, but unfortunately I left mine at school."
Xia Xiaoman's eyes lit up, "Are you a medical student?"
"No, I'm studying veterinary medicine. I bought a suture machine kit to practice debridement surgery. It has suture needles and thread in it."
Although the quality of this suture needle and thread is a bit poor, it can still be used after disinfection.
"I have suture needle and thread. Wait a minute, I'll find it and show you if it can be used." Xia Xiaoman got up and ran back to the house.
In the pharmacy warehouse that she had found underwater before, one of the small cardboard boxes contained sutures and thread.
Ye Xiaojie took a look at the suture needles and thread she took, which were 1/2 arc 4*12 cosmetic suture needles with thread, with 10 small packages in a box, and each package was packed in a separate sealed bag.
Although a good isolation effect had been achieved, she still used boiling water for high-temperature disinfection before starting to suture.
She didn't ask much about Xia Xiaoman's suture needles.
This thing is not scarce. Outdoor enthusiasts and people working in dangerous industries will keep some at home. Sun Qing bought a pack before, but lost it when she went hiking.
Xia Xiaoman's space had a lot of medicines, but she didn't take out all the medicines needed. She only provided needles and thread for sutures. Iodine and Yunnan Baiyao powder were collected from the families of Sun Qing and Wen Jianfeng.
Zhou Qiuyang provided anti-inflammatory drugs, but judging from his current condition, he was probably the only one who needed them. Sun Qing and Ye Xiaojie were both in good condition.
After treating the wounds, Xia Xiaoman was kind enough to help them cook a pot of noodles. The noodles were from Sun Qing's family, the seasoning and gas were from Zhou Qiuyang's family, and Xia Xiaoman provided two cans of luncheon meat.
While cooking the noodles, Ye Xiaojie briefly explained how they were injured.
"We paddled out of the community for more than an hour and met two search and rescue personnel. They said that the whole country was hit by the disaster and there was a shortage of rescue personnel in Xiaguo, so they called on the whole nation to initiate self-rescue."
"The granary in the floating city has been flooded, and there is a shortage of food. We no longer have the energy to distribute food for free. We encourage everyone to go into the water to salvage supplies. You can use the salvaged supplies to exchange for food at the rescue station."
It seems that what the search and rescue personnel said was because Fucheng did not have enough food, and they used the method of exchanging salvaged materials for food to control the food output. In fact, they wanted to use the masses to help Fucheng collect materials and realize post-disaster reconstruction as soon as possible.
At the same time, divert the attention of the masses so that they don't just focus on working for their superiors, but instead think of ways to salvage supplies on their own.
Of course, the search and rescue personnel would not say these words; they were all Ye Xiaojie’s guesses.
"We knew that our superiors wanted us to salvage supplies on our own, so we thought that since we were already out here, we might as well salvage some supplies before returning."
This time, I almost lost my life outside.
The severe convection has just passed, and although the flood has receded a little, the water level is still very high.
Generally, supermarkets and shops are on the first and second floors, and at most on the third and fourth floors. Now the water level is as high as the sixth and seventh floors. If you want to go to the supermarket to buy for free, you must have diving equipment.
The main purpose of Ye Xiaojie's trip was to gather information, so they did not bring any diving equipment. So they just salvaged things floating on the water like everyone else.
Ye Xiaojie and her group were not the only ones who came out to salvage supplies. Many people who got the news came out to salvage supplies.
In the eyes of a group of people who went out on their homemade rafts, the kayaks that Ye Xiaojie and her friends were paddling were somewhat conspicuous.
The conspicuous bag was targeted, and when they entered an office building, they were besieged.
The other side had a large number of people and they were all young and strong. Even though Sun Qing and Ye Xiaojie were professional thugs, they were inevitably injured.
Just when Sun Qing was about to be strangled to death, Wen Jianfeng happened to come to the office building to look for supplies.
Wen Jianfeng heard the sound of fighting and didn't want to meddle in it, so he was about to leave when he heard Ye Xiaojie calling Sun Qing's name.
Worried that the person inside was really his apprentice, Wen Jianfeng went back to the office building and found out that it was really Sun Qing, so he rescued her.
Those people were half-crippled by Sun Qing and his gang, and Wen Jianfeng drove them away without much effort.
He saw that Sun Qing and the others were seriously injured. Coincidentally, his home was nearby, so he took Sun Qing and the others to his home to bandage their wounds.
While the wound was being bandaged, Wen Jianfeng's wife's younger brother and his family came over to cause trouble.
Wen Jianfeng's wife had been in poor health since giving birth, and passed away when the twins were three years old. His wife's family was a typical son-centric family, treating their daughters as mobile blood bags.
But his wife has a strong personality. After she started working, she refused to become an ATM for her parents' family and only gave her parents a fixed amount of alimony every month.
Perhaps because she had no room of her own since childhood, Wen Jianfeng's wife worked hard to save money after working and bought a house of her own, which is the house where Wen Jianfeng and his family live today.
The house where Wen Jianfeng's brother-in-law lived was flooded. Taking advantage of the light rain, he found a way to come to Wen Jianfeng's house and shamelessly said that the house belonged to his sister, and now that his sister passed away, he should inherit the house.
Wen Jianfeng was so angry that he beat up his brother-in-law on the spot, leaving his face covered in blood.
Xia Xiaoman was a little confused, "Since you can beat them away, why do you need to move?"
"Because the building is about to collapse." Wen Jianfeng was in a low mood. "The house was built quite a long time ago and has been soaked in water for so long that it is already tilted."
The house was filled with memories of his wife and children, and he would not have been willing to move out unless he had no other choice.
When he took Sun Qing and the others home, he found that the house was tilted and it might be dangerous to continue living there. He didn't care, but he had two children.
Ye Xiaojie said: "I thought the coach had nowhere to go, and we just happened to have so many vacant rooms here, so I suggested that the coach stay here temporarily."
Xia Xiaoman nodded, "That's great, this way our 13th floor will be full of people."
After hearing what happened, she was no longer opposed to Wen Jianfeng's family. Wen Jianfeng had two children, so he was the one who was afraid.
There was no distribution of supplies tonight. These things brought back were all from Wen Jianfeng's home.
Although I didn't get any supplies, at least I got to know an important piece of news.
Fucheng encourages people to salvage supplies, which means that starting tomorrow, she can go underwater and buy things for free without restraint.
