Mayor Liu Runmin finished speaking.
Ren Fusheng, another comrade from the municipal ministry, spoke up:
"Mayor, the soldiers stationed in the surrounding areas have been rushing here one after another. The first batch of rescuers have entered the city. Ten teams will arrive here from tonight to noon tomorrow. The first thing they have to do is to clean up the entire city, move all the bodies to the west, cremate them together, and organize the survivors to evacuate here."
Mayor Liu Runmin nodded and said, "Tell the comrades at the medical aid station to speed up the epidemic prevention work. Once the plague breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous! Also, the orphans who lost their parents in the earthquake must be sent away as soon as possible!"
Ren Fusheng nodded: "I've already contacted the provincial capital!"
…………
At the foot of the mountain at Baichuan Forest Farm, Sheng Kangning and Zhou Shen got off the car one after another.
Although the rain didn't stop, the light was brighter than before.
"Have you been here before?" Zhou Shen asked.
Sheng Kangning shook his head: "I've always wanted to come, but I never had the chance. I told the old Chinese doctor that Tang Shigang visited in the county that there are a lot of herbs in this forest. Let's go! I hope we can get all the herbs!"
Sheng Kangning picked up a stick from the ground, held it in his hand, and walked forward.
Zhou Shen immediately pulled out the shovel from his waist and walked in front of Sheng Kangning: "It's safer for you to follow behind me!"
There is a small path leading to the back mountain of Shirakawa Forest Farm.
The path was overgrown with weeds, and Zhou Shen was leading the way with a shovel.
The two men walked up the mountain in the heavy rain. The road was full of mud and water. If they stepped down, half of their foot would sink into the mud.
The two of them walked with great difficulty.
I don’t know if everything is going well for Brother Chu. He must have boarded the helicopter by now.
Thinking of Brother Chu's injuries, Sheng Kangning's steps became heavier.
"Kangning, have you ever gone up the mountain to collect herbs before?"
Zhou Shen, who was walking in front, asked.
In his opinion, going up the mountain to collect herbs is not an easy job.
Not to mention Sheng Kangning, such a delicate girl. It is hard to imagine the scene of Sheng Kangning picking herbs deep in the mountains.
Sheng Kangning:
"I have been studying Chinese medicine since elementary school, and going up the mountain to collect herbs is also a course I have to learn. When I was ten years old, my grandma took me up the mountain to collect herbs every summer vacation. We didn't go far, just to a few mountains around the capital. My grandma was in poor health, so we could only collect herbs outside the mountains. I have some experience. Go to the left, there is a hillside over there, and there are often many shade-loving herbs on the back of the hillside."
Zhou Shen nodded and walked in the direction Sheng Kangning pointed.
After walking up the mountain for a distance, the road on the mountain was actually easier to walk on. There were stones on the road surface, but there was also a bad thing, which was that it was easy to slip on the wet stones on rainy days!
Fortunately, Sheng Kangning has experience and takes every step steadily.
Instead, Zhou Shen slipped several times. Sheng Kangning told Zhou Shen some experiences of going up the mountain to collect herbs in the rain.
After walking up for more than ten minutes, we arrived at the back of the hillside.
"Stop here for a moment. I see some herbs that can be used."
Zhou Shen stopped.
Sheng Kangning squatted down and looked for herbs in the bushes.
Every time Sheng Kangning picked a herb, he would carefully identify it, or rather, recall the records in the book.
Then pick a part of the herb.
Either leaves or rhizomes.
Sheng Kangning put the picked parts into a cloth bag. These were what Brother Chu could use.
The rest was given to Zhou Shen.
Zhou Shen also tied a big bag around his waist.
After picking a few herbs, Sheng Kangning turned and took Zhou Shen westward.
The back mountain of Baichuan Forest Farm is an area that Sheng Kangning is very familiar with. In his previous life, there was a period of time when Sheng Kangning often came here to collect herbs.
Sheng Kangning knew exactly what kinds of herbs grew in which places.
When Sheng Kangning saw a large patch of grass lying down not far ahead, he stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Shen asked.
Sheng Kangning pointed at the fallen grass in front:
"Look over there. Has anyone ever been lying or crawling there?"
When Zhou Shen heard this, he immediately became alert.
How could there be people in such a remote place, in such heavy rain?
"Kang Ning, just stay here and don't move. I'll go check it out ahead!"
After saying that, Zhou Shen tightly gripped the shovel in his hand and walked towards the fallen grass.
Walk lightly and try not to make any noise.
Sheng Kangning took out the dagger from her pocket. This dagger was given to her by Brother Chu for self-defense.
"Don't walk around! There's a snake!"
A childish voice came from the fallen grass.
I didn't dare speak too loudly, so I kept it low.
There really is someone!
Before Zhou Shen could find the snake's trail, the dagger in Sheng Kangning's hand had already shot out and stabbed into the tree trunk not far ahead.
"Great! You hit it!"
There was joy in the childish voice.
"Come out, everything is fine!" Sheng Kangning said.
Zhou Shen walked to the tree trunk and took a deep breath when he saw the scene in front of him!
There was a snake coiled around the tree trunk. The snake was as thick as an adult's arm, and its long body was coiled around the tree.
The snake was not dead yet, its whole body was still wriggling.
Sheng Kangning's dagger pierced its vital point.
No matter how it struggles, it's useless.
Sheng Kangning walked over, grabbed the dagger and stirred the snake's vital point several times.
Until the snake is completely dead.
Then he pulled out the dagger.
