"Yes, I'm going to check the air-raid shelter. The commander is still there, and I'm worried about him. Could you please take care of my mother and Tian Tian?"
"Okay, don't rush. Remember these few lines of incantation. They're for flying on a sword, and you can only practice them in a secluded place."
The key to sword control lies in regulating your breath, maintaining focus and concentration, uniting the five elements of man and sword into one, in a continuous cycle, endlessly regenerating... Do you understand?
"Got it, I'm leaving."
Xiao Lingfeng went down the stairs, and Jian Ning then remembered that she hadn't taught him the art of walking through walls. But no rush, she'd deal with it later. Going this way was just a little more troublesome.
Just as I was about to walk home, a shout came from downstairs; the name being called was Jian Anping.
Judging from the voice, it should be my uncle, Jianming.
Jian Ning didn't want to pay them any attention.
How did they treat the original owner in the previous life? If they hadn't completely disregarded family ties and driven the original owner out in the cold weather, she wouldn't have lived such a miserable life.
What's going on this time? Coming here definitely won't bring anything good.
"Xiao Ning, I heard someone calling me from inside the house. Is it Uncle coming again?"
Jian Anping also came out of the house. The sound was so loud, it sounded like it was being shouted through a loudspeaker. He could hear it very clearly even through several doors inside the house.
"Ignore him, just pretend you didn't hear him. It's definitely not a good thing. Let's go back inside." Jian Ning pushed Jian Anping towards the house.
"No, Xiao Ning, no matter what, he's still our uncle. He wouldn't have come to me if it weren't for something. I'll go down and check."
Jian Anping felt that Jian Ning was a bit too cold-blooded. Although everyone was struggling to survive in this apocalypse, he was still loyal and had family ties.
No matter what, he couldn't let his father rest in peace. It wasn't his style to stand idly by when he could intervene.
Jian Ning couldn't refuse him, so she had no choice but to follow him down. When they reached the fifteenth floor, she could see Jian Ming shirtless through the railing.
Wearing only a pair of shorts, covered in dust as if he had just crawled out of the ground, he was holding a megaphone and shouting Jian Anping's name loudly.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Jian Anping took out his key, opened the gate, walked over, and asked.
"Anping, please save your aunt! Her house was destroyed, her legs are mangled, and she can't move her arms. I have no home now!"
She covered her face and burst into tears, her sorrow truly heart-wrenching.
"Where's my aunt? I'm not a doctor, and I don't know how to treat illnesses,"
As Jian Anping spoke, his eyes unconsciously glanced at his sister, only to see her cold expression. He swallowed back the words he wanted to say.
"You need to think of something! The person is lying on the boat downstairs. If we don't save them soon, they'll bleed to death!"
Xiao Ning, Xiao Ning, aren't you studying medicine? You must have medicine at home, right?
"Grandpa, I'll kneel down for you, please save your aunt, I beg you." He was about to kneel down when Jian Anping stopped him.
"Sir, please don't do this. Xiao Ning is just a student. What does she know? She's only learned things from textbooks and has never done any practical work. Aren't you forcing her like this?"
“Anping, I’m at my wit’s end. There’s no hospital around right now, where can I go to save your aunt?”
She spent her whole life with me, but she didn't get to enjoy any happiness. She's gone just like that; my heart aches!"
She cried as she pounded her chest.
"I'll go take a look, but I'm not sure if I can find a solution."
Jian Ning initially didn't want to save him, but seeing Jian Ming's condition and Jian Anping's pleading eyes, she couldn't bring herself to do it. She went back to get a first-aid kit and followed the two of them downstairs.
Because nearby houses collapsed and were flooded, the murky, dirty water rose to just below the second-floor windows.
On a dilapidated wooden boat, Li Cuilan lay pale-faced, her body covered in dried blood. Jian Xueqing had also lost a lot of weight, her hair disheveled, sitting there wiping away tears.
Jian Jian used an iron shovel as an oar, paddling the small boat to keep it afloat. His eyes lit up when he saw Jian Ning and the others get off.
Today really scared him; there was a sudden earthquake. All three of them were outside searching for things.
Li Cuilan was alone at home, not far from her house, when she watched as the house collapsed. She frantically rowed back home.
Upon arriving, they found the once magnificent building reduced to ruins. The three rushed forward and searched the collapsed building before finally managing to rescue Li Cuilan.
She was incredibly lucky; she was in the bathroom when the building shook and collapsed.
This location is arguably the safest in the entire building. As for the injuries, they were just from falling cement blocks hitting my legs, shoulders, and arms; nothing serious was injured.
He was terrified; when he was pulled out, he was trembling and couldn't even speak.
Jian Ming and his group didn't bother rescuing anyone else; they rowed their homemade boat straight towards Jian Anping.
After all, his eldest nephew is the only one he can rely on here. If he doesn't turn to him, who else can he turn to?
"Let's carry her to the stairwell first. It's all water outside, and it's not safe." Jian Ning glanced at the small boat outside the window; it was quite a feat to squeeze four people in there.
"Hey, hey, Anping, lend a hand." Jianming heard Jian Ning's words and suddenly felt relieved. Now the old woman should be saved.
Together with Jian Anping and their son, they carried Li Cuilan into the stairwell. With the slightest movement, Li Cuilan cried out in pain.
"Hang in there a little longer, Xiao Ning will take a look. It won't hurt anymore once it's bandaged up."
Jianming is really good to his wife. Seeing her in pain, he kept comforting her. Jian Ning rolled her eyes inwardly.
I examined Li Cuilan before. The injury on her shoulder was a distal humerus fracture, and her leg was also fractured. In addition, a small blood vessel was punctured by the steel bars on the broken cement block, which is why she bled so much.
Thankfully, there were no major arteries in the leg. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have needed her to help.
The first-aid kit contains iodine, which can be used for disinfection, stitching, bandaging, and splinting fractures.
The technique was extremely skillful, but the blows were quite heavy, showing no consideration for Li Cuilan whatsoever, causing her to almost faint from the pain.
"Xiao Ning, be gentle, be gentle!" Jian Ming kept nagging beside her, feeling sorry for her.
Jian Ning wouldn't listen to him and tied him up in no time.
"That's all I can do here. I can't guarantee whether things will return to what they were before."
The leg injury is okay; just be careful to avoid infection. The bone is only slightly dislocated, so it should heal quickly. The shoulder injury, however, will take at least three months to regain mobility.
