Chapter 104 Return
After bandaging the wound, Li Qihan said to Gu Muruan, "Pay attention to your own safety," and turned around to join the rescue work.
At this critical moment, who wouldn't continue looking for someone with a few scratches and bruises on their body?
Finally, after most of the day's effort, the search and rescue in this area was completed, and the group returned to the temporary camp after a brief adjustment.
Fortunately, the uncle and family of the little boy named Ilk were safe and sound. They had a good relationship with their eldest brother, Ilk's father, and his family, and they said Ilk would live with them in the future. However, Gu Munuan noticed that his uncle's family already had three children, all boys, so it was easy to imagine how much pressure their lives would be under in the future.
Ilker seemed to understand that his parents were gone, so he squatted alone at the intersection, staring towards the village in a daze.
Gu Munuan walked over and handed him a piece of chocolate. Seeing that he didn't react, she broke it open and put it in his mouth. Only then did Irke start to cry. He looked at Gu Munuan and said, "Sister, I don't have a home anymore, and I don't have a mom or dad anymore."
Gu Muruan looked at his red eyes. Yes, no matter how strong he was, he was just an 8-year-old child. How could such a change not leave a shadow in his heart?
"Be good, let me tell you a story, okay?" Gu Muruan also touched Ilker's hair unconsciously.
The little boy looked at the gentle Gu Muruan, sniffed his nose and nodded.
Gu Muruan first took out a tissue to wipe his tears and snot, then slowly spoke: "Actually, my sister grew up alone..."
Gu Muran told her story, not to win Ilker's sympathy, nor to divert his attention, but to teach him that the price of growing up is sometimes painful, but as long as you don't give up hope, don't give up on yourself, and don't let the pain knock you down, you will eventually become a strong person.
"Mom and Dad have given you the opportunity to continue living. Live well. You still have uncles, aunts, cousins, teachers and classmates. They will always be with you." Gu Muran comforted him with simple words.
"But sister, can I also work part-time to earn money like you? It's not easy for my uncle and his family either." Ilk's family actually lived well before, and they would help their uncle and his family from time to time.
"Don't worry, I can help you now. After I go back, I will contact your uncle and won't let you add burden to their family.
But now your task is to study hard, have a good rest, do what you should do with your friends, find a good job when you grow up and work hard to make money, can you promise your sister? "Gu Muran remembered the charity organization that her eldest brother helped her set up on her birthday, which happened to be able to help Yilke.
Ilk nodded solemnly: "Sister, thank you, I will study hard."
Li Qihan stood not far behind the two of them, watching the little girl gently comforting Yierke. He discovered that he seemed to have some different feelings towards Gu Muruan...
After the crowds were settled, everyone had a moment to breathe. Gu Munuan ran to change Li Qihan's dressing. Perhaps because the light was very dim last night, the brief conversation between the two did not attract the attention of Li Qihan's teammates.
But today, judging from Li Qihan's attitude towards Gu Murnuan, several team members around him looked at Gu Murnuan with some strange eyes. Before Gu Murnuan came up to them, they wanted to tease Li Qihan, but Li Qihan glared at them and they dared not say a word.
As soon as Li Qihan returned, he changed into a short-sleeved shirt in the tent, still wearing his muddy military uniform. He waited for the mud to dry and then shook it off casually.
Gu Muran took the medicine box and quickly changed Li Qihan's medicine in an open space. She then took out disinfectant wipes and iodine from her bag and asked Li Qihan to roll up his sleeves and apply iodine to the abrasion.
"I'm not that delicate." Li Qihan said to Gu Muruan with a smile. After all, he suffered minor injuries during his usual training, and they would heal in a few days.
"The flesh inside you is exposed. If you don't clean your arm, it will easily get infected." Gu Muruan emphasized seriously, pointing to the wound bandaged by Li Qihan.
Li Qihan looked at Gu Muruan's serious expression and patted her hair gently: "Okay, listen to Doctor Gu."
Gu Muruan seemed to feel that Li Qihan was possessed by his second brother again: Why do you always touch my head? Don’t you know that touching my head for three days will not bring you wealth!
The two people who just thought their sister/the little girl in front of them were cute: ...it seems, I've never heard of it.
After three days, the search and rescue work was basically completed.
Donated resources from all over the country continued to arrive. Gu Muran seemed to have heard many familiar words such as Gu Group and Mu Group.
The soldiers also helped everyone build temporary shelters and lit a fire at a certain distance from the tents, so that the slightly cold weather did not seem so freezing. Just like their current days, it will pass quickly. The country is here, the army is here, and friends from all directions are here. There will always be people to help them overcome difficulties and rebuild their homes.
On the fourth day, Gu Muran and his colleagues from the hospital left County G. However, before leaving, he asked Lu Ming to help write down Uncle Irke's basic information, and packed all the chocolates, biscuits, and some daily necessities in the box into a backpack and gave it to Irke.
In S City, Gu Moci learned of Gu Murnuan's return and, at nine o'clock that evening, he, along with his father, mother, and Gu Muwan, came to the hospital to pick up Gu Murnuan. Gu Mocheng and Lu Qingqing also came with Gu Jingnian, picking up both Gu Murnuan and Lu Ming.
The hospital gave the medical staff who went to provide support an extra day off, including Friday and the weekend, so that they could have a good rest.
As soon as Gu Munuan got out of the car, she saw Gu Moci and Gu Muwan in front of the car. Gu Moci walked over quickly and took the suitcase from Gu Munuan, while Gu Muwan turned Gu Munuan around to see if she was injured.
"Where is your backpack?" Gu Moci asked when he saw that Gu Muran was fine, except that her face and clothes were a little dirty.
