“But if anything happens to you, how will I explain it to the Old Master when I go down in the future?” Lin Chaoyan sobbed and held her hand, unable to let go.
“When I was young, Grandpa taught me that I have to have a clear conscience.” Lin Qingqian held her cold hand firmly. “I believe that if Grandpa was around, he definitely wouldn’t stop me from saving people.”
On the contrary, Grandpa would definitely be the first to rush over to save her.
Lin Chaoyan knew that the Old Master had lived a carefree life. Everyone in the surrounding villages praised him. If the Old Master was around, he would definitely save the trapped person.
However, Lin Qingqian was the only child of the Lin Family after all. She was really afraid that something would happen to her. And how would she explain it to Old Master in the future?
“Auntie, just let me go.” Lin Qingqian didn’t resist fiercely. Instead, she persuaded her patiently, “If I don’t go now, someone will really die.”
It was not that she was not afraid of death, but she could not be indifferent to the distress of other people.
As long as one was alive, they had to have some bottom line and conscience.
Lin Chaoyan sniffed and made up her mind. “Alright, I won’t stop you from saving her, but I’ll go with you.”
If something really happened, it would be meaningless for her to live alone. She might as well go down and atone for her sins for the Old Master. Lin Qingqian didn’t object. “Alright, let’s go together!”
The two of them held each other’s hands tightly. No matter how heavy the snow was or how dangerous it was, they walked towards Wang Laosan’s cow shed with difficulty.
When the others saw the two women step forward, they naturally could not hold it in anymore. “Wait, I’ll go with you.”
The man with the flashlight wanted to go, but his wife grabbed him. “What are you going to do? If something happens to you, how will we live?” “It’s fine. I’m lucky. As a man, can I be inferior to two women?”
“That’s right. We men can’t be inferior to women!” The village chief, who had been silent until now, also spoke. “The women in the village can wait here with the children. If you’re a man, follow us for this rescue mission.”
Although the women were unhappy, they could not dissuade the men’s determination. More than ten men walked towards the cow shed in a hurry.
Lin Qingqian and Lin Chaoyan did not expect them to catch up so quickly.
Lin Chaoyan called out, “Village Chief.”
The village chief: “Don’t say anything else. Saving people is more important.”
When the group came to Wang Laosan’s cow shed, they saw that the shed that was originally steeped in mud was now in ruins.
Luo Juan was a little slower when she ran out. Her legs were trapped under the mud bricks and she could not pull them out.
She cried her heart out and wailed, “Save me, save me. I don’t want to die… I haven’t waited for my man to return.”
“Hurry up and save her!” As soon as the village chief spoke, all the men stepped forward to help.
Someone moved the wood that was pressing on top, and others moved the mud bricks with their bare hands.
Lin Qingqian went forward and wrapped her in her down jacket. Her calm voice comforted her. “Don’t cry. You’ll be fine soon.”
When Luo Juan ran out, she was only wearing a thin layer of undergarment. At this moment, she had long frozen in the snow. Only when she was wrapped in Lin Qingqian’s down jacket did she feel a trace of warmth.
Snot and tears rubbed against Lin Qingqian’s body. She did not care and kept comforting Luo Juan.
She told her not to cry and to conserve her strength.
Luo Juan’s emotions finally calmed down bit by bit, but she was still trembling in fear.
After everyone’s efforts, they finally pulled her leg out from under the mud brick. It was dripping with blood, and her pants were dazzling red.
The men in the village carried her on their backs and moved her to safety.
Someone kindly draped their coat over her body. Otherwise, she would have frozen to death before she bled to death.
The villagers heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that everyone had returned safely.
There was a huge rock at the entrance of the village. Someone had cleaned up the snow and they could sit on it. When they saw them return, they immediately gave up the rock.
Luo Juan was placed on a rock and sat down. Her legs were so numb that she felt nothing.
The village chief looked at the wound on her leg and smacked his lips. “This injury is too serious. If we don’t stop the bleeding, I’m afraid we won’t be able to keep this leg.”
“How can we treat this?” Someone said, “There’s no doctor in the village. Usually, we have to walk to town to treat illnesses. In this situation, we can’t walk to town.”
“Doesn’t Old Li’s family have a tricycle? We can take the tricycle and bring her to town,” the village chief said.
“How is that possible?” Old Li slapped his thigh. “The tricycle in this world of ice and snow will flip over if it’s not pedaled well. Moreover, our place was affected so badly by the earthquake. Who knows how chaotic the town will be?”
The village chief also had a worried expression. “Then does anyone have any medicine? We have to stop her bleeding first.”
Everyone shook their heads. Usually, if the villagers had a headache or fever, they would just drink some ginger tea and overcome the illness themselves. Who would spend money on extra medicine and leave it at home?
When Luo Juan heard their words, she cried even harder. “What if my leg is crippled?! My husband and child are all outside… I might as well die.”
The village chief frowned. “What are you saying? Living is more important than anything.”
Lin Qingqian looked at Lin Chaoyan. “Auntie, is the medicine box I brought for you still here?”
Lin Chaoyan nodded. “Yes, yes. I’ve never used them before. I placed them under your bed. ”
. She said to the man beside her, “Help me cover her wound first. Don’t let her continue bleeding.”
The man hurriedly went forward to help.
Lin Qingqian turned around and looked at the village chief. “I have a medicine box at home. There should be medicine that can be used. I’ll go back and get it.”
“This…” The village chief was a little hesitant.
“You can’t go back. It’s too dangerous.” Lin Chaoyan disagreed.
Lin Qingqian glanced at Luo Juan, who was wiping her tears non-stop, and said calmly, “It’s fine. I’ll be back soon.”
“Then I’ll go with you.” Lin Chaoyan knew that it was very difficult to change her mind, but she was worried about her going back alone.
“I can run faster alone. If you come with me, I’ll be distracted and worried about you!” Only then did Lin Qingqian insist on not letting her accompany her. She said to the village chief, “Village Chief, please help me take good care of my
Auntie.”
“Don’t worry, you have to be careful yourself, ” the village chief instructed. He took the flashlight from the person beside him and handed it to her.
Lin Qingqian took the flashlight and turned to run home.
Lin Chaoyan looked at her back and wiped her tears worriedly.
Lin Qingqian ran all the way to the door of the house and stopped to catch her breath. She also observed the environment and didn’t feel any tremors before continuing to run into the house.
She was very familiar with the furnishings of the house. With the flashlight, she quickly ran through the front room into the backyard and into her room.
First, she found the medicine box under the bed and took it out. She stood up and glanced at the box beside her. She opened it and grabbed a few pieces of her clothes and hugged them.
She thought of something and reached for the thing under the pillow, clenching it tightly in her palm. When she saw the cell phone from the corner of her eye, she wanted to take it…
However, the ground under her feet seemed to tremble. She did not dare to hesitate and turned to run out.
She ran out of the front room and saw a figure in the dim light. Lin Chaoyan’s sobbing sounded in her ears. “Qianqian, Qianqian…”
“Auntie, I’m fine…” Lin Qingqian was afraid that she would be worried, so she hurriedly replied.
When Lin Chaoyan saw her running out, she was angry and happy. “You scared me to death!!”
Seeing the things in her arms, she reached out to take them and could not help but mutter, ‘What are you doing with these clothes?”
“Young Aunt didn’t wear a coat. I’m afraid she’ll freeze to death.” Lin Qingqian followed her to the village entrance. “I got her a shirt to keep her warm.”
Lin Chaoyan’s mouth was stubborn, but her heart was soft. “Why do you care about that woman’s life or death? She won’t freeze to death.’
Lin Qingqian did not say anything and quickened her pace towards the village entrance.
Seeing that they had returned safely, the village chief was relieved.
Lin Qingqian walked in front of Luo Juan and put down the medicine box. She took a sweater from Lin Chaoyan and put it on Luo Juan, then took a jacket for her to wear.
The coat was returned to the original owner.
As Lin Qingqian opened the medicine box, she said, “Auntie, see which family doesn’t have clothes and share a few with them. Take care of the elderly and children first.
“Alright.” Lin Chaoyan carried the remaining three jackets to see who needed them.
“Two people, help me hold her down. Don’t let her move.”
When Lin Qingqian spoke, the others subconsciously followed her instructions without any hesitation.
It was as if she had already become the backbone of this group of people, but she was clearly a little girl in her early twenties.
Luo Juan was held down by the two men and could not move. Lin Qingqian first washed her wound with peroxide to disinfect it, then stopped the bleeding and applied ointment. Finally, she tied it up with a bandage.
After this ordeal, Luo Juan was in so much pain that she did not even have the strength to move. She collapsed on the rock. If not for someone supporting her, she would have collapsed long ago.
When Lin Qingqian stood up, her legs were numb and she fell uncontrollably.
Lin Chaoyan quickly supported her. “Are you alright?”
Lin Qingqian shook her head and massaged her numb legs. “I’m fine. My legs are just numb from squatting for too long.”
Previously, she was afraid and was busy saving people and treating their wounds. She did not feel it, but now that she stopped, she felt that her limbs were about to freeze.
It was the same for the others.
Lin Qingqian leaned against Lin Chaoyan’s body weakly and looked at the village chief. “Village Chief, I can only treat her wound briefly. The bleeding has stopped, but we should still send her to the hospital in town for the doctor to take a look.”
“But there’s no car. It’s a 30-kilometer walk to town.” The village chief said worriedly, “I don’t know what’s going on in town either.”
“It’s normal for Wang Laosan’s mud house to collapse. The houses in town were built later. They should all have earthquake-proof measures. It shouldn’t be a big problem. ”
Lin Qingqian couldn’t hide the fatigue on her face as she analyzed calmly, “Find a few young and strong people to carry Young Aunt and rotate her along the way! She’s still young. If we can keep her leg, we should try our best to do so.”
The village chief thought for a moment and thought that this method would work. He immediately gathered people to see if anyone was willing.
Fortunately, the villagers were still kind-hearted. They were still willing to walk 30 kilometers to send Luo Juan to the hospital.
Luo Juan was quickly carried on a muscular man’s back. Before she left, she looked at Lin Qingqian and Lin Chaoyan and squeezed out a hoarse cry. “Thank you..”
