"Then please stay here, okay? The shopkeeper's uncle and aunt are very nice and will take care of you. I have something else to do and will come back to see you later."
When the little girl heard this, she looked at Zhang Xiaoying suddenly.
But after a moment, she lowered her head again and still said softly "Hmm".
Zhang Xiaoying touched her head and said, "Wait until I come back."
After saying that, Zhang Xiaoying stood up and left.
She went to a nearby village to see if she could find Pei Zhaolin and the two of them, so that they wouldn't be so unlucky and anything would happen to them!
Zhang Xiaoying didn't know that after she left, the little girl raised her head and looked at the door with a sad expression.
She thought of her mother, who also said these words and never came back.
Now even her father and grandma are no longer here... As she thought about it, she started to cry again.
Only this time, she didn't let herself cry.
The shopkeeper's wife quietly looked in from the door and saw the little girl hugging her knees and burying her head in silence, crying silently, and she also felt uncomfortable.
But in the face of natural disasters, what can people do?
What she can help is what only she can do.
The shopkeeper's wife sighed and left.
After about a quarter of an hour, my brother finally woke up
Seeing his sister sitting aside, he struggled to sit up.
When the younger sister heard the noise, she quickly turned around and saw that her older brother had woken up. Her sad mood was slightly relieved, and she shouted in a choked voice, "Brother."
"Are you okay? Does it hurt?" He asked eagerly when he saw his sister's bandaged leg.
"It doesn't hurt."
"Don't be afraid, you still have a brother."
He endured his grief and comforted his sister.
"I'm not afraid." The younger sister looked at her, "I will obey my brother's words from now on."
She leaned carefully on her brother's shoulder, "We won't have parents and grandma in the future, right?"
"Yes." My brother's eyes suddenly turned red.
But he couldn't cry.
He is the older brother, and he will be the only younger sister from now on!
"Brother will take care of you, no one can separate us," he said.
"Um."
After experiencing such a change, the brother and sister seemed to have grown up. They both held back tears to prevent the other from worrying.
My elder brother is older and understands that without his parents, even his uncles were buried alive by landslides. If they want to survive, they can only seek refuge with other relatives, but their relatives are all in Shixi Town and have been affected by the disaster. Who can take them in?
Thinking of this, the elder brother clenched his fists tightly. If there were no relatives to take him in, he would raise his sister even if he had to beg for food.
Zhang Xiaoying is also thinking about this issue.
The brother and sister in Caiyun Village have no father or mother, and their close relatives are all dead. Even if Caiyun Village is rebuilt in the future, only the Tang family will be left. By then, these helpless brothers and sisters will definitely be bullied.
If they are lucky and find kind-hearted relatives who take them in, the brother and sister will still have a place to live. If no relatives take them in, they will probably end up becoming little beggars.
She saved the people, so she couldn't just watch them live in more pain than death.
The eyes of the brother and sister are serious. Although they are still young, it can be seen that they are not the kind of ungrateful people. If they are taught well, they may have a better future in the future.
When she rescued the siblings, Zhang Xiaoying was actually ready to take them in.
As for whether her cheap son agrees, that is beyond her consideration.
Now the entire Xu family is supported by her, and she has absolute say.
The second bedroom in the big house probably wouldn’t dare to say anything!
Zhang Xiaoying now knows where all the villages in Shixi Town are. She has been to basically every village.
The most severely affected village was Caiyun Village. There were also casualties in other villages, but they were all worried about the field water due to the heavy rain, so they braved the rain to look. As a result, they lost their footing and were washed away by the flood.
Guangxing County has a high forest coverage rate, and every village has a river with a large flow of water. When a flood occurs, the water will become stronger and it is easy to wash away a strong man.
Most of the houses built on low ground were flooded, and the water was ankle deep. Fortunately, everyone moved to higher ground.
Seeing this happening everywhere, Zhang Xiaoying felt uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, humans cannot defeat nature and can only wait for the flood to pass before rebuilding their homes.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhang Xiaoying still couldn't find Pei Zhaolin and Wang Jia, and her worry increased.
When Zhang Xiaoying went to the last village without any hope, she unexpectedly met them.
This village is located downstream of a large river where small rivers from various villages in Shixi Town merge. Seven or eight families' houses were washed away.
The villagers rescued them, but they were trapped. Pei Zhaolin and the others were rushing in the heavy rain and accidentally took the wrong road. They arrived here by mistake. Since there were many injured and their lives were in danger, Pei Zhaolin wanted to save people.
, stay here forever.
Zhang Xiaoying's arrival made Pei Zhaolin extremely happy.
"Master, you're here just in time. This uncle's fever can't go away. Can you see if there is any other way?" Pei Zhaolin didn't bother to say anything else and directly pulled Zhang Xiaoying to the injured person.
Zhang Xiaoying checked and found that the wound on his leg had been there for several days. Now it was severely suppurated, and the high fever was caused by the inflammation of the wound.
Before Zhang Xiaoying came out, she put some anti-inflammatory medicine in the medicine box, which she just needed right now.
Since the shed was temporarily built and the ground was wet, the conditions were not good. However, in this environment, Zhang Xiaoying could not create a better environment, so she could only perform debridement.
Everyone frowned as they watched Zhang Xiaoying treat the wound.
The man's family members were so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe.
After all, many people cannot survive the high fever and lose their lives!
After Zhang Xiaoying completed the debridement, she applied anti-inflammatory medicine and bandaged it, and then fed the man oral anti-inflammatory medicine.
"It's okay. The high fever will subside slowly. Don't let the wound get wet again. In addition, change his medicine the day after tomorrow. Remember, use this to clean it before applying the medicine." Zhang Xiaoying gave him the medicine.
My family members said, “Don’t confuse those for external use and those for ingestion.”
"Thank you, doctor!" the man's family expressed their gratitude.
Zhang Xiaoying waved her hand to signal them to move away, and then checked on the other injured patients.
Except for the man whose wound was inflamed, Pei Zhaolin handled the rest very well and there were no problems.
"Very good." Zhang Xiaoying patted him on the shoulder, "You are now a young doctor who can act alone!"
Pei Zhaolin wiped his forehead. He didn't know if it was rain or sweat, but he felt a little embarrassed, "Master, really didn't you comfort me? I couldn't even make my uncle's fever go away. Fortunately, master came."
"You will be able to do it later, don't worry now." Medical skills in this era, including acupuncture, have just begun to develop. There is really no good way to deal with wounds with serious bacterial infection. The main thing is to rely on whether the injured person can carry it on their own.
