The next day, Liu Muqiao and Su Yajuan were picked up again.
The place we chose today is a state-owned chemical factory. The buildings here are relatively strong, but they have also collapsed.
After research and judgment, this is a place where we think it is more promising to find a living person.
Today is the ninth day, and hope is getting slimmer.
Liu Maqiao started sub-hibernation with the help of Su Yajuan. Ten minutes later, he activated the super mode and listened attentively in the car.
Got it!
There were sounds from two places.
One is a cry, very weak and desperate.
One is a groan of pain.
However, it was not the building we were looking for, but a private house further away.
Liu Muqiao rushed out and followed the sound, "Here, here."
The rescue team went all out, and within half an hour, cheers came from the first place, and an old lady in her 80s was actually alive!
Excavation has also been stepped up in another location.
Soon, a miracle happened. Nine people were dug out here. They were all dying. There were no serious injuries on their bodies, but they were so exhausted that they couldn't move.
I'm really lucky today.
……
However, luck is not so good every day. On the third, fourth, and fifth days, Liu Muqiao ate zero eggs.
In other words, starting from the tenth day of the earthquake, there was no harvest for four consecutive days.
On the fourteenth day after the earthquake, the hope of rescue was already very slim.
Liu Muqiao is making his last effort.
If there is no gain today, we will have to face reality.
Liu Muqiao and Su Yajuan arrived in Fucheng early. Under the arrangement of the commander, they came to an old house area. This place has been excavated three times.
However, the houses here are very complex, and even after digging a few times, you may not be able to cover everything, and there must be some missing parts.
Another reason is that there are many residents here, the rooms are small, it is difficult to excavate, and the chances of survival are relatively high.
After Liu Muqiao activated his super state, he held his breath and listened carefully. He even heard the sound of dripping water in the toilet.
There is a situation.
Liu Muqiao heard the rhythmic sound of tapping water pipes.
Very light, very weak.
He needs to identify the specific location of the hit.
"There!"
Liu Muqiao pointed to a building 300 meters away, "It's right here."
The rescue team leader took a look and couldn't help but take a breath. Isn't this a place where waste is piled?
This is an unusually large amount of work. The bricks, cement boards, soil, and stones that were cleaned up in other places a few days ago are all piled here.
The leader of the headquarters took a look at it, discussed it for a while, and gave the order not to use large machinery, but to use manual labor.
With 3,000 soldiers and a rescue team, mountains of rocks and debris were evacuated like ants moving.
Finally, only the last floor is left.
Where are the people?
Liu Muqiao was also dumbfounded.
Will it be a misjudgment?
Just when he was puzzled, a soldier shouted, "There is also a basement!"
Without even bothering to find an exit, I used demolition tools and made a hole. I looked inside with a flashlight and saw, oh! It’s a nest.
Two soldiers went down.
People were sent out one by one.
There are actually two families here, a total of nine people, big and small, all safe and sound.
The older one is over 80 years old, and the younger one is only over 3 years old.
There was food and drink here, but I was so scared that I didn’t say a word for a long time.
Liu Muqiao was called to the headquarters again.
This time, Liu Muqiao met a bigger person.
The leader held Liu Muqiao's hand and choked up several times, "Thank you for your hard work. You have made a great contribution."
After a few sentences, it was over.
He didn't stay at the headquarters for too long before he was sent back to the camp.
Returning to the temporary hospital, Zhao Yilin reported on today's medical situation. There is no need to keep so many key doctors here.
Besides, in addition to County Road 61, the other two national roads and provincial roads have been opened, so the medical team should logically change locations.
However, due to the impassability of County Road 61, it is difficult to help patients. Most of the more than 600 patients have broken legs and hands, making it difficult to transport them.
Therefore, this hospital still has value.
"What I mean is that Du Xiaoping, Hua Bucheng, Zhu Yaguang and others can go back. The main force of Antai Hospital cannot stay here for too long." Zhao Yilin said.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Although there are still many patients, there is no surgery to be performed, and there is no value in keeping them here. I will discuss it with the headquarters tomorrow."
Liu Muqiao also felt that it was time to replace some of the people and go back.
Just then, Sun Tao came over.
"What do you think?" Liu Maqiao asked Sun Tao.
Sun Tao sighed first.
In the past few days, we worked day and night, without even food or shelter. Everyone was so happy, as tired as dogs, but they were also very happy.
These past few days, almost a week in a row, there has been no surgery, and everyone is suddenly panicking.
I can’t eat anymore of the delicious local food. No one says the jokes that I usually laugh out loud about, and no one laughs when I say them.
Fortunately for Zhao Yilin and his fellow physicians, there is an endless stream of villagers coming to see the doctor every day. Even Zou Qingxiang can see more than a dozen patients.
However, this group of surgical professors have no enthusiasm at all, and it would be most boring to do surgery without surgery.
Looking back, it was rare for them to go without surgery for three consecutive days at Antai Hospital. They were not used to being suddenly free.
"I see, just send them back, there is no use for them if they stay here," Sun Tao said.
"Then I'll report it tomorrow and see if my superiors agree to let them go." Liu Muqiao wasn't sure either.
In fact, he himself wanted to leave, because the further he went, the less he had to do. The medical and health work in the future mainly focused on three aspects.
The first is disinfection work, which means disinfection and sterilization to avoid epidemics.
The second is psychological comfort, which is mainly a matter for psychiatrists.
The third is the rehabilitation of existing patients.
As a surgical expert, it doesn’t make much sense to stay.
Liu Muqiao felt that there was no need for him to stay here.
It’s been half a month since I left Antai Hospital. Will the hospital’s business be affected?
The mobile phone signal has still not been restored. Only temporary towers have been installed in urban areas and densely populated towns, and there is barely any signal. However, this temporary hospital cannot go up or down, so there is no signal.
Nowadays, military communication equipment is used to communicate with the outside world. This cannot be used casually.
Several people discussed it for a while and decided that Liu Maqiao would ask his superiors for instructions.
Liu Muqiao, Sun Tao, and Zhao Yilin also discussed who would leave and who would stay.
The initial idea is that Du Xiaoping, Hua Bucheng, and Zhu Yaguang will definitely leave. Of the three of Zhao Yilin, Sun Tao, and Liu Muxiao, two will leave and one will stay. This depends on the opinions of the superiors.
Sun Tao shared this idea with everyone. He was still laughing and joking just now, but suddenly he became mute.
Just like this? I can’t bear to leave!
Especially Du Xiaoping and the others, who were clamoring for no surgery just now and wanted to go back for surgery, now suddenly said that they were the first group to leave, and they immediately became speechless.
After living on the hillside for half a month and spending such hard days without food or water, it is so cruel to suddenly have to say goodbye to everyone.
However, even if they were asked to say stay, they were unwilling to do so because they had not had any surgery for several days, and there was still no surgery to be done in the future.
People who are used to being busy can never take time off.
The doctor industry is different from other industries. From the beginning of studying medicine, a life-long busy pattern has been started. Even at retirement age, few doctors are willing to take a break.
I have no time to spare.
I am used to helping patients relieve their pain.
This is not to say that the ideological quality of doctors is high. In fact, they just can’t take time off, and it is difficult to change the habits they have developed since they were teenagers.
