Chapter 161: Rescue work after the earth dragon turns over
Disasters are ruthless, but there is love in the world. Corpses were dug out one after another. Some of these corpses were incomplete, and some were unrecognizable, which made people unable to bear to look directly. Looking at the bloody lives, Kong Xiaoxiao felt as if her heart was being torn by a knife.
A sudden natural disaster turned this originally peaceful and tranquil place into a hell on earth. Life seemed so small and fragile in the face of natural disasters, and could not withstand a single blow.
The rescue work continued until the evening. When everyone was hungry and tired, the Beihai County magistrate, Zhong Wuming, finally appeared in a hurry with the yamen runners.
There were a few old men following behind them, probably doctors.
Seeing that the county magistrate and the yamen runners all had wounds to varying degrees, the people who were originally somewhat resentful suddenly fell silent. It turned out that these adults were also injured in the disaster, and everyone had experienced the same situation.
Magistrate Zhong touched his injured head which was in so much pain that it felt like it was being bitten by millions of ants. His face was as pale as paper and he said weakly, "Everyone, I am late. I believe you are all hungry and sleepy now. I brought some food." Then he waved to the yamen runners behind him and said, "Zhong Da, build the stove and cook the porridge."
"Yes."
The yamen runners behind him acted quickly, some took the pot and some moved stones, and soon they set up the pot and started to cook porridge.
As the people smelled the fragrance of the porridge, they felt as if a pack of hungry wolves were roaring in their stomachs, and the roars were getting louder and louder.
"Doctor Zhang, I'm troubling you to take care of the wounded here." County Magistrate Zhong said to an old man with white hair and a youthful face.
"Don't worry, sir." Doctor Zhang replied with a bow.
At this moment, the young man who successfully rescued his son from the rubble today stood up and spoke.
"Sir, today we are all grateful to this young lady and this young master for coming forward at the critical moment and gathering everyone together. Otherwise, we really don't know what to do and can only cry and wail here."
With one person taking the lead, the others who sincerely thanked Kong Xiaoxiao and He Junlin also followed suit.
"Yes, if they hadn't arranged it so well, my son would definitely not have been saved."
"Sir, these two are really good people. You must reward them greatly."
At this moment, Kong Xiaoxiao didn't listen to what the people around her were saying. Her eyes were fixed on Lord Zhong.
If I'm not mistaken, those old men at the back are doctors.
It seems that the county magistrate is quite efficient.
Although I came a little late, it is understandable.
Looking at his face, he has black eyebrows, thick earlobes, pointed face, phoenix eyes, and a round face with thick lips. He is indeed a just and hard-working official.
When County Magistrate Zhong heard what the people said, he first took a quick look at the situation at the scene.
I saw that most of the injured had been simply bandaged, and the bodies were carried out and placed aside and covered separately. The scene was in order.
Then he looked up at Kong Xiaoxiao. After a glance, County Magistrate Zhong spoke first and said with a smile, "This young lady is so responsible at such a young age. I admire her." Then he said to He Junlin, "And this young man is so elegant and imposing. I think he is a man of great ability. I would like to thank you both here."
"You are too polite, sir." Kong Xiaoxiao and He Junlin said.
"I wonder what the lord's next arrangements are?" Kong Xiaoxiao asked.
"I still need to learn about the situation in various places, and then write a letter to the county governor, but the round trip will also delay us for a few days, so we still have to rely on ourselves to save ourselves."
Kong Xiaoxiao nodded when she heard that.
In this era, communication is as slow as a turtle. If we wait for the court to rescue us, we really don’t know how long it will take.
"I deeply admire what you said, sir. If you have any need for us, please feel free to let me know." Kong Xiaoxiao said sincerely.
"Now is the time to need people, so I won't be polite with you two. I still have to go to other disaster areas. I want to entrust the people in this area to you first. I wonder if you two can help?"
As a county magistrate, it is impossible for him to stay in one place at this stage. The people affected by the disaster are waiting for him to rescue them, and he is very busy.
It would be great if there were capable people in the area willing to help.
If there is someone who steps forward to take the lead in every region, the people will probably not be so panicked.
"I'm willing to share your worries, sir." He Junlin said.
"Zhongda, you take the two brothers and stay here, waiting for their orders."
"Doctor Zhang, I'll leave this to you."
"Yes, my lord."
County Magistrate Zhong quickly arranged the work and took the remaining yamen runners to other disaster-stricken areas.
After two quarters of an hour, the porridge in the pot was finally cooked.
"The porridge is ready, everyone line up and come get some." Zhong Da held a large round spoon and shouted loudly at everyone.
In the afternoon, the women listened to Kong Xiaoxiao's words and searched through the ruins for a lot of daily necessities, including bowls and chopsticks.
Everyone took the distributed bowls and chopsticks and lined up to get the porridge, regardless of whether they were clean or not.
Kong Xiaoxiao also gave a bowl of porridge to Momo and Tadpole.
Although this porridge is light and watery, it is still good enough to fill your stomach.
Time flies, and it's time to go to bed in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that everyone looked sleepy, Kong Xiaoxiao reminded them, "Everyone, we don't know if there will be aftershocks. Everyone should be more vigilant at night and don't sleep too deeply. Try to sleep in a simple shed or outdoors. For those who are injured, their families should also pay attention to see if they have a fever tonight. If there are any problems, remember to see a doctor."
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky and thunder roared, waking up some of the people who were dozing off. In a blink of an eye, heavy rain fell from the sky, and the raindrops as big as beans hit Kong Xiaoxiao and others with a crackling sound.
"Hurry, hurry! The injured people should go to the shed to take shelter from the rain! Don't let the wounds get wet, otherwise they will get infected and worsen! And the elderly and children, you should also go into the shed quickly!" He Junlin was anxious and shouted at the top of his voice.
After an afternoon of working together, everyone had developed some tacit understanding. When they heard He Junlin's call, they immediately took action. First, the injured were escorted into the shed first; if there was still space in the shed, the elderly and children were also safely placed there.
Time passed by minute by minute, and after a busy day, the night fell and it was already midnight. Kong Xiaoxiao had no desire to sleep. She stared at the endless darkness outside with her eyes wide open, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
