"Why? Don't you have any self-awareness? Are you injured or crippled? A doctor shouldn't be thinking about treating patients at a time like this, but instead, he's cowardly running away, not even caring about the shame." The soldier who came with Lu Huai'an said.
Yang Xiu, who was opposing Su Wantang, was so angry that her face turned pale and then red.
"Should you go down yourself, or should I throw you down?" Lu Huai'an asked.
Realizing that Lu Huai'an wasn't joking, Yang Xiu had no choice but to bite her lip and reluctantly get out of the car.
"Dr. Su, I have a nephew who works at a department store in the city. Would you like me to introduce him to you?"
The aunt, who was being treated by Su Wantang, was no longer worried and started to go back to her old profession: matchmaking.
"And my nephew, he works as a clerk in the county government."
"My grandson drives a big truck, and he's fair-skinned and clean-cut..."
Seeing that she hadn't interrupted in time and had become the center of attention, Su Wantang couldn't help but smile.
"Thank you for your concern, aunties and uncles. I'm married now, and my husband is in the military."
"Oh, what a pity..."
"Is that the tall guy from earlier? I think he's alright."
Fearing that it might cause unnecessary trouble, Su Wantang quickly interrupted, "No."
When Yang Xiu walked over, what she saw and heard was the scene of Su Wantang being adored, and she felt a surge of jealousy welling up inside her.
She moved closer to Su Wantang and said some hurtful things.
"Su Wantang, even if you married Battalion Commander Lu out of gratitude, so what? You saw something happen, and Battalion Commander Lu still just abandoned you here."
"It would be one thing if a capitalist's daughter were just obediently sent down to the countryside, but she insisted on clinging to Battalion Commander Lu. Now... Su Wantang, I feel sorry for you."
“No need,” Su Wantang retorted. “You should use the time you would have spent feeling sorry for me to save people, instead of thinking about being a cowardly deserter. I would be much happier that way.”
"you!"
"What do you mean, 'you'? You little brat, you're so ruthless. Dr. Su's husband is a pillar of strength, busy saving lives. Unlike you, you're not even as good at hiding and running as a mouse."
"You bunch of country bumpkins, do you even know she's a capitalist's daughter! She's a bad element!"
"What pampered young lady? What bad element? I don't know. All I know is that Dr. Su treated my injuries."
......
Seeing that everyone was siding with Su Wantang, Yang Xiu angrily turned and left.
She scoffed, "You think my skills are bad? You really think I want to save you mud-covered bastards? You smell terrible."
Half an hour later, the military trucks reappeared in everyone's sight.
At this moment, the water level is less than two meters above the hillside.
This time, the bus was full, but it still couldn't take everyone away; a small group of people remained.
The rules are the same as last time.
Because of Yang Xiu's precedent, and since Su Wantang didn't move, the medical staff stayed behind.
Others also harbored some resentment towards Su Wantang, but they kept it to themselves.
Yang Xiu's raging anger surged to his head.
As time passed and the water level gradually rose, even though Su Wantang tried her best to reassure everyone, they couldn't help but worry.
In the midst of the tension, a rumbling sound reached everyone's ears, and smiles involuntarily spread across their faces.
This time, without any obstruction, Yang Xiu did not rush onto the military truck first, but instead approached Su Wantang quietly.
Perhaps due to the fear of rising water levels, the remaining people were noticeably more anxious than the previous two times, and they all squeezed onto the bus.
As everyone rushed to get into the car, Yang Xiu quietly reached out from behind and pushed Su Wantang.
The incident happened suddenly, and the ground was slippery; Su Wantang fell into the torrent.
Su Wantang reacted quickly, immediately popping her head out of the water and grabbing the soil on the hillside with both hands.
Yang Xiu shouted in a pretentious manner.
"Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"
"Su Wantang has fallen into the water!"
Shouting, she squatted down and tried to grab Su Wantang's hand, but actually pried Su Wantang's fingers apart one by one.
The impact of the flood was so great that Su Wantang could only hold onto the ground on the hillside; she had no way of freeing her hands to insert the gold needles into the acupuncture points to stop the nurse.
"Help! Help!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
She can't die!
Lu Huai'an, who was organizing the crowd to board the bus in an orderly manner, heard the cry for help. He turned around and saw Su Wantang struggling in the water, her head popping up twice before sinking into the water – a heartbreaking sight.
"Su Wantang!" he roared.
"Make arrangements for the remaining people and organize their departure."
"And you, Battalion Commander?"
His answer was Lu Huai'an running to the spot where Su Wantang had fallen into the water and leaping into it.
"Why was Su Wantang so careless? We were about to evacuate safely... and she... I had her back, why couldn't she have held on for another second or two? She just dragged a good soldier to his death for nothing."
"Shut up! Our battalion commander won't die!"
"That's right! Good deeds are rewarded! Dr. Su will definitely not die!"
How can Su Wantang have a good reputation after spending time alone with another man?
Then Battalion Commander Lu must divorce this vile woman.
Once everyone was on the bus, Wu Xu, who had just been instructed by Lu Huai'an, wanted to rush over to save people, but was held back by Zhou Qing beside him.
"Don't be impulsive. We don't have enough manpower. Let's drive back first. The most important thing now is to notify our superiors to send people to rescue us."
In the water, the silt and sand from the loess soil severely obstructed visibility.
Lu Huai'an searched diligently for Su Wantang's figure.
He would surface for air every now and then.
As he surfaced more often, his brows furrowed even more deeply.
This can't go on!
"Su Wantang!"
"Su Wantang!"
"If you're still conscious, struggle a bit so I can see!" Lu Huai'an shouted at the top of his lungs.
Underwater, Su Wantang vaguely heard human voices. Exhausted and ready to give up on her, she struggled again.
Suddenly, a white blur flashed by, and Lu Huai'an quickly swam over.
Lu Huai'an breathed a sigh of relief as he held the still struggling person in his arms.
Su Wantang, who was extremely oxygen-deprived and desperately wanted to live, clung tightly to Lu Huai'an like an octopus, making it much more difficult to carry her up.
Feel sorry.
Lu Huai'an lowered his head and kissed her.
