Chapter 173 I Met This Dog Again
The two went downstairs, paid the bill, bought a few steamed buns from the guesthouse, went to the store next door to buy an umbrella and a hat, bought a cart full of food and put it in the car, then went out and started on the road.
The wind was strong and the rain was pouring down like a galaxy, almost without stopping. Even though Huo Jianguo was an expert driver, he still didn't dare to drive too fast. The windshield wipers were like whipped slaves, working desperately but still couldn't wipe away the water on the windshield. The windshield of the car was like eyes blurred by tears, and he couldn't see the road ahead clearly.
He could only drive forward slowly.
The county town had cement roads, but the car still had trouble driving. Once outside the county town, the road was full of potholes, and the bumps made Su Mei feel carsick for the first time. She felt like a piece of popping candy, bouncing around in the car, and her internal organs were about to be shaken out.
The bumpy ride was the worst, but when the car approached the next county, the road was blocked by a landslide and the car could no longer move forward, it was really uncomfortable.
The heavy rain continued, but fortunately Huo Jianguo had the foresight to buy an umbrella and a hat.
Even with shelter from the rain, the road from here to the next county town is still far away, and the road is full of mud and ruins left over from the earthquake, making it very difficult to walk.
The most regrettable thing was the food in the car. Huo Jianguo knew that it was difficult to transport supplies to the earthquake site, so he bought a lot of food and stuffed it into the car.
I didn't expect to be left behind halfway before I even reached my destination.
The three of them picked out some easy-to-carry food and stuffed it into their pockets, then got out of the car and started walking towards the disaster area.
They had not walked far when their umbrella was completely blown to pieces. Fortunately, they still had the tent, so they simply threw away their umbrellas and slowly headed towards the next county town.
After walking for a while, the three began to encounter search and rescue fighters one after another. As Huo Jianguo walked, he asked these fighters about the search and rescue situation.
He had to go to the county seat and take charge of the front-line rescue command.
Just like that, the three of them walked for an hour and a half.
Although she was exhausted and out of breath, Su Mei's feet were soaked, her shoes were filled with water, and she had lost all feeling in her toes, but she still kept moving forward with all her might.
At this time, she didn't even dare to say she was tired.
Finally, the county town appeared at the foot of the mountain. When Su Mei saw the appearance of the county town, she was not happy at all.
Because the city in the vast ocean could no longer be called a city at this time, it became ruins left after earthquakes and floods.
There were people crying everywhere on the roadside. Some tents were set up, but obviously there were not enough, so only some old people and young children lived in them.
More people were soaked and squatted on the roadside to keep warm, but they were still shivering from the cold.
The cold after the earthquake is more severe than usual.
Those miserable cries were heard in the heavy rain, like desperate cries from hell.
Every cry is like a sharp knife, cutting people's eardrums and breaking their hearts.
"Hurry up and send her to the county hospital for amputation surgery. I have tied the blood vessels in her arm. This hand can't be kept!" A stretcher was carried past Su Mei and the others, and a doctor next to the stretcher was giving instructions.
Just as the stretcher was about to be carried away, a middle-aged woman rushed out and knelt down in front of the doctor next to the stretcher:
"Doctor, please save my daughter. She is already blind and disabled. If her arm is amputated, how will she live in the future?"
"Sister, it's not that I don't want to save her. I have stopped her bleeding. It's a pity that she is not dead. How can her arm be saved? Please don't delay me from saving other people. If everyone is as selfish as you, how can we do our work?" The doctor ignored the girl's mother's crying, walked around the middle-aged woman and walked away.
Seeing the doctor's attitude towards the people in the disaster area, Huo Jianguo couldn't help but frown. Su Mei at the side turned her eyes to the little girl and asked Huo Jianguo:
"The county town is flooded, and the county hospital is probably also flooded. Can you still get into the hospital if you go to the county town at this time?"
"A temporary simple county hospital has been built to treat the injured. It will take about half an hour to get there. It is on the edge of the city. He is talking about the temporary hospital." A soldier who was helping to carry the stretcher recognized Su Mei and Huo Jianguo and took the initiative to step forward to answer Su Mei.
Half an hour?
Su Mei glanced at the little girl's face, reached out her hand to feel her pulse, frowned, glanced at the nearby tents, and said:
"She won't last half an hour. Go get me a first aid kit and a tent. This girl's injuries need to be treated right here."
On the way here, Su Mei met some doctors and already knew that they had first aid kits for surgery.
"Hey, what are you doing? Please don't disturb us. We are rescuing patients. What are you doing?" The doctor who walked away came back at some point.
Only then did Su Mei see the doctor's front face and she couldn't help but squint her eyes. It was really a narrow road for enemies to meet.
This male doctor is Liu Kai, the son of the director of the county hospital, who acts as arrogant as an idiot.
Last time, he was put in solitary confinement by Chen Yilong because he was too arrogant.
Hey guys, did you encounter this bastard again?
Su Mei couldn't help but laugh. Seeing that certain person acting so arrogant, she guessed that he would be imprisoned soon!
