After about ten minutes, they arrived at the foot of the mountain. Qin Zheng first sent Yan Jingwan to the boat, and the others also got on the boat one after another.
Qin Zheng found Zhou Yalin, the leader of the labor union, and asked her, "Leader Zhou, how many people are there in your labor union? Please take a roll call and make sure no one is left out."
"He." Zhou Yalin nodded in agreement and arranged for Chen Rong to call the roll.
Chen Rong ran back and forth twice, and came over anxiously: "Captain Zhou, Captain Qin, Zeng Ping, Zeng Ping is not here."
Qin Zheng made a prompt decision: "Send someone back immediately to look for him."
Chen Rong immediately said, "I'll go with you. I know the way."
"No, we have special scouts." Qin Zheng shook his head and refused, then said to Zhou Yalin, "We can't let the overall evacuation plan be affected by one person falling behind. Captain Zhou, I will take a team to stay behind to find Zeng Ping, and you guys will take the front boat and go ahead."
Zhou Yalin nodded in agreement.
Chen Rong said hesitantly, "This boat can't accommodate so many people, right? I'm still healthy and don't have a fever. Otherwise, I'd better stay and wait for the next boat."
Qin Zhengyu: "It's okay, this boat is sturdy, one more or one less person won't make much difference. You should just go with the main force. If you stay, we'll have to send someone to look after you."
Qin Zheng said so much, Chen Rong didn't say anything else, forced a smile, nodded and said: "Well, then I will go with you. Captain Qin, you all must be careful."
Qin Zheng nodded, and called a young soldier who was on the boat, stuffed the only half pack of cigarettes he had left into his pocket, and asked him to help look after Yan Jingwan.
"Comrade Yan is ill. When we get to the base, please find a military doctor to see her first."
This is also Qin Zheng's selfish motive.
The young soldier saluted Qin Zheng and said, "Captain Qin, don't worry. As soon as we get ashore, I'll help Comrade Yan find a doctor as soon as I get off the boat."
"Thank you for your help."
Chen Rong, with her eyes open and ears perked up, had been paying close attention to Qin Zheng's movements. Hearing this from afar, she quickly moved closer and said, "Captain Qin, don't bother your rescue soldiers. Jing Wan and I are friends, so I'll take care of her. We're both girls, so it'll be easier for her to look after you."
Qin Zheng didn't refute, nodded, and said politely: "Trouble you."
After sending Chen Rong away with a few words, Qin Zheng lowered his voice and said to the young soldier, "Keep an eye on her."
The young soldier immediately understood: "Don't worry."
Qin Zheng nodded slightly.
The wooden boat full of patients left quickly. Qin Zheng watched it leave for a few seconds, then quickly looked away. He led the remaining soldiers up the mountain, searching for Zeng Ping's trace along the way.
Marching along the mountain road, we arrived near the camp of the labor group, and the scouts ahead sent us news.
“Found it!”
Qin Zheng quickened his pace and rushed to the place where the scouts had discovered the traces.
Two scouts had ropes tied around their waists, and one of them was heading down the slope.
Another scout, Qin Zheng, reported: "We found traces of footsteps on the side of the road. We discovered that someone had slipped and fallen to the bottom of the slope and is currently in a coma."
Qin Zheng nodded, indicating that he understood, and asked, "Can you bring it up?"
"That's it," the scout said. "Just tie the man to your back with a rope and carry him up together."
The scout said it was not difficult, and it was indeed not difficult. Everyone worked together and carried the injured and unconscious Zeng Ping up from the bottom of the slope in less than 10 minutes.
Then everyone took turns carrying Zeng Ping on their backs, quickly going down the mountain as fast as possible, getting on the boat, and leaving this muddy mountain where danger could occur at any time.
Half an hour later, the boat successfully arrived at the temporary base where the rescue team was stationed.
This is a highland with a relatively high altitude and is not affected by floods. The troops set up camp here and set up tents.
In the not-so-spacious area, tents of all sizes were stacked side by side. A makeshift command post, a makeshift hospital, a makeshift canteen, and even makeshift dormitories were all squeezed in between the tents.
After getting off the boat, Qin Zheng arranged for people to report to the temporary command post, while he took Zeng Ping straight to the tent where the temporary hospital was located and sent her to see a doctor.
The doctor was an old acquaintance of Qin Zheng. Although he was not the military doctor of his regiment, the two had a good relationship.
After checking, he found that Zeng Ping had only sprained her ankle and had only some minor injuries on her body. She was not seriously injured. Qin Zheng asked Zeng Ping to stay with the military doctor and asked him, "Do you know where the person we sent here half an hour ago is?"
Military Doctor: "Are you talking about those unfortunate people in our army's labor union?"
Qin Zheng nodded.
The military doctor said, "Those with mild symptoms are being sent to the isolation dormitory in the back to rest. Those with severe symptoms are in the tent in the southwest corner, cared for by specialized nurses."
"Isolation?" Qin Zheng sensitively caught the word.
The military doctor nodded. "They don't just have a cold or fever. I suspect they drank contaminated water, which led to hemorrhagic fever. This is a common rat-borne disease after floods. It's highly contagious, so isolation is safer."
