Chapter 152 Epidemic Prevention
Wang Xinxin's voice was firm, but Su Tang's heart did not calm down after hearing her words.
She subconsciously touched her bulging belly, and the occasional slight movement there was the most real comfort at the moment.
The rain slowed down in the second half of the night, the crackling sounds on the roof became sparse, and faint thunder could be heard in the distance.
Su Tang wrapped the thin blanket tightly around her body, her eyes fixed on the sleeping faces of Lu's father and mother.
The two old people's breathing was still steady, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Water…water…”
Mother Lu suddenly moaned, and Su Tang quickly unscrewed the thermos and carefully applied water to her lips with a cotton swab.
Just then, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps and jingling sounds coming from outside the shed.
Someone shouted "Make way, stretcher!" and the crowd began to riot again.
Su Tang's heart tightened, and just as he was about to get up, he saw a familiar figure.
Lu Xiao was carrying a wounded young soldier on his shoulder and striding through the crowd. A red cloth was pinned to the left arm of his camouflage uniform, which was particularly eye-catching in the dim light.
The moment Su Tang saw him, all kinds of emotions surged up, but were blocked in his heart, turning into heat in his eyes.
Lu Xiao seemed to sense something and turned around to look.
The moment their eyes met, the soldier on his shoulder snorted softly, which brought him back to his senses. He hurriedly said a few words to his comrades around him, then strode towards this side.
"Why are you here?"
When Su Tang stood up, her knees felt weak and he held her firmly.
There was a fresh scratch on the base of Lu Xiao's palm.
"I've been ordered to escort the wounded to transfer, and by the way..."
His Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes swept across her lower abdomen and fell on her dusty cheek.
"Come and see you guys."
"Why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine."
Su Tang avoided his gaze and pointed at her sleeping parents.
"Mom and Dad are fine, they just caught a cold."
She paused, her eyes falling on the red cloth on his arm: "This is..."
"The logo of the epidemic prevention team."
Lu Xiao followed her gaze.
"Chen Zhengnian said you warned us about the epidemic risk, and they've already dispatched some epidemic prevention supplies. I'll be temporarily coordinating the transfer."
He suddenly held her hand and said gently, "Chen Zhengnian just told me that my wife is really great. It's just that when I first heard it, I was worried."
"I am a doctor."
Su Tang pulled her hand back, but he held it even tighter.
"I know."
Lu Xiao's voice was soft and filled with heartache.
"But you are you first, my wife and the mother of my children."
He looked down at her, a mixture of emotions swirling in his eyes.
"Don't kneel on the ground next time, I'm watching..."
He didn't say the rest, but Su Tang understood.
She turned her head and saw that his comrades behind him were distributing disinfectant. Someone was disinfecting in the corner of the shed with a sprayer, and the faint smell of disinfectant gradually filled the air.
"It will be fine once the rain stops."
She said softly, as if to comfort herself.
Lu Xiao followed her gaze outside the shed. The sky was already turning pale and the rain was as thin as silver threads.
He took out something wrapped in layers of plastic from his pocket and handed it to her: "This is for you."
Su Tang opened it and saw that it was a piece of candy.
She looked up at him and saw that the tips of his ears were slightly red: "I bought it when I passed by the supply and marketing cooperative to replenish my energy."
A whistle for assembly sounded in the distance. Lu Xiao let go of her hand, took a half step back, and gave a standard military salute: "I'm going to get busy first. I'll come see you later."
When he turned around, he turned back and reminded, "Take care of yourself and wait for me to come back."
Su Tang held the piece of fruit candy, and the candy wrapper left a faint wet mark on his palm.
She looked at Lu Xiao's back as he turned around, his figure flickering among the crowd.
The smell of disinfectant in the shed gradually became stronger, and someone began to cough.
Wang Xinxin came over with a medicine box in her arms, and smiled when she saw the candy wrapper in her hand: "My cousin is so thoughtful. This thing is more precious than gold ingots nowadays."
Su Tang put the candy into his mouth, and the sweet taste of orange filled his mouth.
"I just checked the supplies and found that we don't have enough gauze."
"There are a lot of injured people at the temporary medical station in the back mountain. I've signed up as a volunteer and need to go over there to provide support."
Su Tang nodded and heard a low moan behind him. Lu's mother had woken up at some point and was struggling to sit up.
"Mom, don't move."
She quickly supported the old man's back and put some cardboard under it. Lu Ma held her wrist tightly.
"I seemed to hear Lu Xiao's voice just now. Did he leave again?"
Su Tang responded softly: "He is busy with work and said he will come later."
Mother Lu suddenly sighed: "This rain is really a disaster."
Su Tang didn't say anything. When it was just dawn, someone shouted, "It's time for breakfast," and the crowd immediately rushed over.
She supported Lu Ma and walked slowly over to get two bowls of rice soup that was so thin that you could see your reflection in it.
Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Chen Zhengnian holding a tin loudspeaker and shouting, "Pregnant women and elderly people, come over here! There's hot porridge here!"
Su Tang's heart moved, and he pulled Lu Ma to move over there, but was bumped on the shoulder by a woman holding a child.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The woman hurriedly apologized, and the child in her arms suddenly burst into tears, his little face flushed red.
Su Tang touched the child's forehead, which was so hot it was burning. "How long has this child had a fever?"
The woman's eyes turned red. "I've had a fever since yesterday. I've taken all the medicine..."
Before he finished speaking, a burst of hurried footsteps came closer.
Lu Xiao ran over with two men in white coats, holding a thermometer and a medicine box. "Doctor Chen said there's a suspected case. Where is it?"
His eyes swept over the child and his brows instantly furrowed.
"Isolate them immediately for observation. Xiao Li, take them to Shed No. 3!"
The two of them didn't even say a word before Lu Xiao left.
Someone passed by carrying a stretcher, and the person on the stretcher was covered with a white cloth. Su Tang subconsciously covered Lu Ma's eyes, but was gently pushed away by the old man.
"I've seen it a lot."
Su Tang was wearing a mask and felt uncomfortable.
She would not be sad about birth, old age, sickness and death, but what made her sad was this sudden disaster that caused people to die.
She is a doctor and has seen many corpses, but she is most afraid of seeing this kind.
They could have lived well.
"Su Tang?"
Just then, Chen Zhengnian handed over a bowl of hot porridge.
Seeing Su Tang in a daze, he said this.
Su Tang came to his senses and took the bowl of porridge.
"Thanks."
"If you hadn't reminded me, the situation would have been even worse. These people already had a fever last night."
Chen Zhengnian didn't finish what he was going to say, but Su Tang already knew.
"It's okay, I'm glad I could help you."
Su Tang thought about it and decided to tell Chen Zhengnian, "I want to ask, who is the doctor in charge of this epidemic prevention?"
She also participated in the anti-epidemic war in modern times, so maybe they can share their experiences.
Any help you can give is helpful. If she continues like this, I guess no one will let her help.
"You want to go? No, it's too dangerous."
