Chapter 354: Aftershocks]

After hearing what Xiaohua said, the hearts of the adults sank. Are all the children in the cave?

Xiaohua said that there were six children in total, including her.

The female team member looked at the villager who led the way and asked, "How deep is this cave?"

"About 30 meters."

The villager who had been to the cave said, "It's not very big. Two adults can go in side by side. The deeper it goes, the narrower it gets, so the children use this as a secret base."

"Let's dig."

The female team member knew that there was no time to delay, so she immediately led the team members and the villagers to work.

However, after the earthquake, many large rocks fell into the cave, and a large rock weighing several hundred kilograms blocked the entrance of the cave. It could not be moved at all, so people had to drill in, dig inside, and then send the dug rocks and mud out of the half-person-high hole.

There was a similar situation inside, so the rescue team could only clear a path for one or two people to move through. The team members took turns digging, and when they were exhausted, they would take over to ensure work efficiency.

Ye Qingyue stayed outside the cave and fed Xiaohua saline.

When she came, she had considered that the children had been hungry for a long time, so she asked the villagers who accompanied her to bring some liquid food and some saline.

"Drink slowly, don't drink too fast, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable."

Ye Qingyue patiently taught Xiaohua.

Xiaohua would peek at this beautiful sister from time to time, her little face blushing, and she was obedient.

It has to be said that good-looking skin is hard currency in the world of children.

In front of beautiful brothers and sisters, children will be much more well-behaved.

"Found the child!"

Soon, the rescue team found the second child, a boy about the same age as Xiaohua.

But he was not as lucky as Xiaohua, and his wrist was broken.

Fortunately, there were no other injuries. Ye Qingyue set his bones and bandaged them, and asked the aunties in the village to feed the child saline and food.

As time passed, at dawn, five of the six children were rescued.

The last one, who was also the oldest among the children, was a thirteen-year-old boy.

Ye Qingyue heard from the villagers that the boy was also a miserable person. His parents were careless and gave birth to the child and left him alone.

When his grandparents were alive, the boy still had a hot meal to eat. However, when he was five or six years old, the two old people died one after another. He had a high fever, but his parents didn't send him to the hospital to save a few cents.

He held on all night and finally saved his life, but his brain was burned out. He was yelled at by the children in the village all day long, but he never got angry with anyone and just smiled foolishly.

Although the children in the village called him a fool, no one really bullied him and often took him out to play.

"It seems that the fool brother ran very deep into the cave! I saw it."

The fifth little girl who was rescued said, "He ran to the very back!"

Hearing this, the rescue team felt that it was difficult.

The cave became narrower and narrower as you went deeper, and there were large rocks piled up. Even if they could be moved, it would be difficult to clear a larger passage due to the narrow space.

The deeper they went, the more difficult it was to rescue. Moreover, the little girl said that the boy had run to the innermost part, at least five or six meters away from the place they dug out.

The rescue team had been looking for people to dig people out since yesterday. They had not slept for a day and a night and were exhausted.

"Villagers, take the children back to the camp first and notify other rescue teams to come and help."

The leading female team member made a decision quickly, "We will stay here and dig as much as we can."

"Okay."

The villagers knew that they could not help if they stayed here, and the children were tired and sleepy, so they simply carried the children and left.

"The road is easier to walk in the daytime. The new rescue team should be able to arrive within three hours."

The female team member was about to call on her teammates to continue digging stones, but she saw Ye Qingyue didn't leave. She said, "Doctor, you haven't slept all night, so you should go back with the villagers."

She spent most of her time digging stones in the cave or helping to move stones. Every time she came out, she could see Ye Qingyue cleaning the wounds of the children and comforting them.

Because there were children trapped, the rescue team alone could not take the children out smoothly. As a doctor, Ye Qingyue went in personally to ensure that the children were rescued safely without causing secondary injuries to the children. She did her best.

"I slept for a while in the gap, I'm fine."

Ye Qingyue said: "There is still a child who has not been rescued, and he has not moved until now. I am worried that he is too seriously injured. Let him stay here. The earlier he is treated, the more hope there is."

According to her scan, the boy deep in the cave entrance is actually less than three meters away from the place where the rescue team dug.

It's just that the boy's legs were pressed, and he probably hit his head. He is unconscious at the moment and his condition is very bad.

If she left, even if the rescue team dug the boy out in time, the treatment time would be delayed, and perhaps a living life would disappear from this world.

Ye Qingyue wanted to save the people she saw, so she didn't leave.

The female team member looked at her deeply and said in a gentle tone: "Okay, then doctor, you take a rest first. We will inform you when we find the child."

"Okay."

Ye Qingyue took a handkerchief and spread it on a relatively flat stone, leaned against the tree, wrapped her clothes and closed her eyes for a nap. Zhou

Ji, who also stayed where she was, saw this scene, quietly raised his camera and took a picture of her.

After an hour, a rescuer climbed out of the cave and shouted to the outside: "We found the last child! His legs were crushed and there was blood on the back of his head. The situation is not good. Is the doctor still there? Please come in and take a look!"

He just shouted the first sentence, and Ye Qingyue, who seemed to be asleep, suddenly opened her eyes. She immediately walked over: "Lead the way."

Zhou Ji also followed, and wanted to take a picture, but was stopped by someone.

"It's narrow inside, and it's already very difficult to get to the deep part. You're blocking them behind and delaying them from getting out."

Reporter Zhou gave up and squatted at the entrance of the cave, looking inside eagerly.

Inside the cave.

After Ye Qingyue followed the rescuers in, due to the internal structure, there was a section of the dug road that could not be walked at all, and they could only crawl.

After struggling for about three minutes, Ye Qingyue finally reached the deepest part of the cave entrance.

Fortunately, there were no particularly large rocks in this area, and a relatively free area was cleared, but it was only enough for one or two people to squeeze in and move around.

Under the light of the flashlight, Ye Qingyue saw a dirty boy lying on the ground, motionless, and at first glance looked like a dead body.

"His breathing is very weak."

Because the space was not large, only the female team member and Ye Qingyue were left here. She said to Ye Qingyue: "Doctor, please give him emergency treatment first. I think the rock pressing on his leg needs to be pried open by the new rescue team before we can drag him out."

"Yes."

Ye Qingyue had expected this a long time ago, and secretly took some necessary medical supplies from the space, consuming merit points to let the system help change the packaging and put it in the medical box. It looked no different from the medicine of this era.

She first wiped the boy's arm with alcohol cotton.

Because he hadn't taken a shower for a long time, the boy's arm was very dirty. After changing several alcohol cotton pads, she finally wiped out a piece of skin suitable for injection.

After Ye Qingyue injected an injection, the boy's originally weak breathing seemed to have stabilized a lot.

The syringe was filled with drugs produced by the system, which could replenish energy for the injured in a weak state and greatly increase the chance of survival.

Ye Qingyue pulled out the needle and asked the female team member to help press the cotton swab. She was going to check the wound on the back of the boy's head.

Just as she picked up the flashlight and prepared to illuminate it -

there was a sudden earthquake!

Countless pieces of rubble fell from above!

"It's an aftershock!"

The female team member's exclamation rang from Ye Qingyue's ears.

The next second, Ye Qingyue's eyes blurred and she felt a sharp pain on her forehead.

She was hit on the head by a falling rock!
