Chapter 69 Who of you faints now? Let me see
After walking for about half an hour, we finally reached the disaster area.
Despite being prepared, seeing the ruins still evoked a strange and indescribable feeling.
There were many undisposed corpses around, and some people who had never seen such a bloody scene vomited on the spot.
The first batch of personnel who came to provide assistance set up temporary relief tents. Some of the injured people were recuperating in the relief tents. Because the disaster was so severe, several relief tents were set up.
"I heard a noise down here, two people come quick."
A soldier shouted from the collapsed building, and immediately two soldiers who were resting stood up and walked towards the scene. The group of soldiers then used shovels to rescue people.
"It hurts so much! Is I going to die?"
As soon as I got to a spot not far from the rescue tent, I heard someone shouting inside.
Jiang Ning quickened her pace toward the relief tent. Lifting the tent flap, she saw some simple cots inside, and some medical staff working frantically.
There were many wounded and few medical staff. When they saw someone coming, they immediately called for help and taught them some basic first aid and bandaging skills.
Although it was a bit rushed, having one more person meant having more strength.
Most of the people coming to this residential compound are women. They learn first aid skills while helping to take care of people.
Yan Liyue also joined the rescue efforts.
When Jiang Ning saw that someone's bandage was bleeding, she went over to help change the dressing and re-bandage.
This busy period lasted all night.
Jiang Ning shuttled back and forth between several rescue tents, exhausted.
As dawn broke, Jiang Ning found a clean spot, splashed some water on her face, and washed herself to clear her head.
Inside the shed were injured patients, while the soldiers who had worked hard to rescue them were all lying crookedly outside the shed resting, many of them looking pale from exhaustion.
Remembering something, Jiang Ning quickly returned to where she kept her things and took out the big bag of candy she had bought.
As soon as Jiang Ning stepped out of the rescue tent, she ran into the soldier she had met the night before. The soldier exclaimed in surprise, "Doctor, it's you!"
Last night it was dark, so he couldn't see her face clearly. But now it's bright, and Jiang Ning's beautiful face is clearly visible to him. After greeting her, the soldier blushed for a moment when his eyes met Jiang Ning's.
Jiang Ning didn't notice his strange behavior and directly stuffed a large bag of candy into the soldier's hand, saying, "Two candies for each of you. Distribute them to replenish your strength."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Her main purpose was to treat patients and save lives; she could leave the task of distributing candy to others.
The soldier was a little stunned when he saw the big bag of candy in his arms, but he quickly realized what was happening and started handing the bag of candy to his comrades.
The soldiers were all very surprised when they received the candy.
Most of the supplies that arrived were given to the patients, who were eating dry food that was hard to swallow, but that didn't matter. They were all surprised when candy was suddenly distributed.
The soldier handing out the candy noticed his comrades' surprise. He told each person that the candy was brought by a fairy and was specially given to them.
Now, everyone was eager to see who this 'fairy' was.
Brigade Commander Liang witnessed Jiang Ning giving that bag of candy to the soldiers. He sighed slightly, no wonder Jiang Ning said that candy was a necessity.
He still thought that the candy was bought for him by Jiang Ning.
His mind is still too narrow.
Jiang Ning moved among the wounded with silver needles. The hemostatic powder brought by the medical staff who came with the team was not enough, so she had to use the silver needles to stop the bleeding of the patients, disinfect and stop the bleeding, and disinfect.
Jiang Ning became a familiar face at the rescue tent in just one night, and her superb silver needle technique greatly surprised many medical staff from the hospital.
Jiang Ning worked through the night and then all morning. By noon, she finally couldn't take it anymore, ate some dry food, and slept for a while.
Jiang Ning woke up after only an hour of sleep. Upon seeing her awake, many of the people she had treated greeted her warmly.
"Hello, Dr. Jiang."
"Dr. Jiang, I still have some pain here, could you take a look?"
"Dr. Jiang, my legs are also a little uncomfortable."
"Dr. Jiang..."
"good."
Jiang Ning responded and then got up to check on the patient.
"Patient, let me help you." Yan Liyue was also resting, but when she saw Jiang Ning get up, she quickly followed suit, secretly determined to help.
She pressed a little too hard, and the patient suddenly cried out in pain, instinctively pushing Yan Liyue away, "It hurts! Don't touch me!"
Jiang Ning was in the next bed. She had just finished treating the other patient's wound when she heard the noise, so she turned around to help treat the patient's wound.
The wound reopened, so she took out silver needles and inserted them to relieve the patient's pain. The patient's complexion immediately improved. "Dr. Jiang, you're amazing. A few needles and I'm not in so much pain anymore."
Jiang Ning smiled but didn't say anything.
Yan Liyue was so angry she felt like her back teeth were about to break. She had been busy all night, but these people didn't remember any of her kindness and only remembered Jiang Ning.
She was surprised to see that Jiang Ning could use silver needles, but surprise was nothing more than knowing how to insert needles. So many people can do it, what's there to brag about?
He's just a lousy barefoot doctor, only good at showing off his limited skills.
After a busy night and morning, the people from the same residential compound were all so tired they could barely stand up straight.
A woman in her forties suddenly remembered that Jiang Ning had brought candy. She looked at Jiang Ning and said, "Comrade Jiang, I remember you brought a big bag of candy. Could you share some with us?"
She spoke loudly enough that everyone in the entire rescue tent could hear her.
Jiang Ning glanced at her indifferently, "There's no more candy."
"How could that be? We saw you take such a big bag with our own eyes." After saying that, she sneered sarcastically, "You didn't hide the candy and eat it all by yourself, did you? There are so many patients and medical staff here, what's wrong with you sharing some with us?"
Jiang Ning rolled her eyes at her, "Regardless of whether I still have candy or not, you're not qualified to eat that candy."
Upon hearing her words, the woman's face instantly turned pale with anger.
Yan Liyue seized the opportunity to stir things up, saying, "Comrade Jiang, everyone here is a hero in the disaster relief effort. How can you say they don't deserve to eat?"
Her words undoubtedly ignited the anger of everyone from the family compound. They had wanted to eat Jiang Ning's candy on the bus, but Jiang Ning refused to give it to them.
They've been busy all night and are exhausted. They want two candies, but Jiang Ning says they don't deserve them.
Now everyone started attacking him en masse.
"You just want to keep all those candies to yourself! How shameless! It's not like you're the only one who's tired."
"Besides, we don't need many, they won't even give us one or two, they're so stingy."
"They even brought candy when they came out to help with the rescue. I don't know what they were thinking. They have no spirit of unity at all."
These people were all speaking directly to her, and Jiang Ning couldn't pretend not to hear them.
She inserted the sterilized silver needles one by one into the acupuncture needle pouch, her cold gaze sweeping over each of the people who were speaking.
"You may be tired, but are you as tired as the soldiers who have been continuously rescuing people for half a month?"
"Do you know how important a piece or two of candy is to someone who is so tired that they are dehydrated?"
"Let any of you faint right now, and I'll give you two candies immediately!"
