not your best friend

Occupying one side of the hillside, holding the phone in his hand, talking to his lover far away.

However, such a warm scene did not last long. Suddenly, the barking of military dogs came from the path on the other side of the hill, followed by the hurried footsteps of people.

Huo Wan and Chen Yuan turned their heads at the same time and looked in this direction.

The author has something to say: Second watch arrangement!

Hi everyone, I forgot the timing again! !

2019.3.9 (deep water addition)

A search and rescue dog jumped out from the end of the path first, followed by soldiers in camouflage uniforms.

'Wow, woof! '

The search and rescue dog yelled at the two people who were standing on the hillside in a daze, and then turned to look at its owner, as if waiting for the people behind to catch up.

Huo Wan recognized the dog and the person following the dog.

Isn't this the little soldier she meets every time she comes here to catch the signal?

The only difference is that today the other party does not look so clean and tidy, and the camouflage uniform on his body has been stained with a lot of mud and dust.

The dark face no longer had a shy and shy smile, but a very serious expression.

"Doctor...Miss, I need your help." The soldier ran very fast and ran to Huo Wan in no time.

When it was time to speak, I realized that I didn't know Huo Wan's name, and the communication between the two of them was only at the most superficial level, so I could only call each other "Miss Doctor." '

"We found a survivor under the rubble, but he seemed to need amputation to get out."

The soldier's eyes flicked back and forth between Huo Wan and Chen Yuan, and finally settled on the first aid kit that Chen Yuan was carrying.

When Chen Yuan came out with this box, he wanted to go to the camp supply center to get some medicines, because the contents inside were almost used up, but he didn't expect it to hit the right side.

The little soldier's name is Li Huai. The place they searched and rescued today is a bit remote, and it was originally a small town.

By the time the search and rescue dogs found the person crushed under the rubble, the person had been kept below for two days.

A large and heavy reinforced concrete slab was pressing down on the man's left arm.The search and rescue team tried their best to clear the surrounding obstacles, but there was no way to move this large cement slab.

And the captain is no stranger to such a situation. There is no way to drive large machines here, and the rescue can only be carried out by manpower.

The man was crushed by the cement board for two days and two nights, and if he continued like this, he would not die or be disabled.

Amputation is the only way to save a life.

And maybe this arm has been crushed.

However, this time I came out in a hurry and did not bring the accompanying military doctor. Even if the amputation is forced, a person who understands some simple medical first aid is needed to avoid bleeding after the amputation.

So Li Huai thought of Huo Wan.

He remembered that Huo Wan would basically be on the phone at this time of the day, so he came here to try his luck.

If you are lucky enough, you will avoid having to go back to the camp to bring in rescuers. After all, saving people is like fighting a fire at this time, and the sooner the better.

Every second saved counts.

Coincidentally and fortunately, Huo Wan is still here, and there is one more person today.

The two girls looked at each other, they already had a calculation in their hearts, and immediately followed Li Huai without hesitation.

After all, their original intention of coming here is to help those who have lost their homes. It is the job of a doctor to save people, and now there is absolutely no reason for people to turn to them for help.

The road here is not like the camp that has been completely cleaned up. There are sharp and broken stones and cement blocks under the feet, so the forward speed naturally slows down.

Since it had just rained yesterday, the mud on the ground was still sticky. The shoes of the two of them were covered with wet mud in a short while, and the white sneakers were immediately covered with a layer of muddy yellow.

However, at this time, there is no time to worry so much.

The two struggled to follow behind Li Huai, trying their best to keep up with each other's footsteps.

But even so, Li Huai still stopped from time to time to wait for the two behind him. The well-trained soldiers all the year round were naturally incomparable to the two pampered girls in the city.

While paying attention to the road conditions under your feet, you must be distracted and follow the people in front of you.

After about half an hour, the three of them finally arrived at the small town Li Huai mentioned. Originally, 10 minutes at his own speed would have been enough.

However, with two people behind him, the 10-minute journey was tripled immediately.

Huo Wan saw that the search and rescue dogs could not wait to run towards the other camouflage uniforms who were still busy on the ruins not far away.

Looking around, the disaster situation in this small town seems to be more serious, broken cement boards and steel bars protruding from it... along the way, there are even cracks on the ground like centipedes.

"This side is closer to the epicenter, and the one in the city center is more serious."

Seeing the shocked eyes of the two girls, Li Huai couldn't help explaining.

Search and rescue has been going on, but they have no choice but to set up a search and rescue camp in an open space in the suburbs far from the city center.

It's not that I don't want to be more convenient, but if the camp is directly set up in the center of the disaster area, if there is another aftershock, the consequences will be disastrous.

No one can guarantee that there will be no aftershocks in this earthquake, and no one dares to take this risk even with advanced technology.

Human beings are insignificant in nature. If high technology is really useful, then such a big disaster will not happen without knowing it.

Who can bear the aftershocks of a magnitude 8 earthquake?

"How about it, did you find another way?"

Li Huai trotted all the way, and before he got close, he couldn't wait to ask his comrades.Who would want to have a limb amputated if there were some other way to get this big slab of cement out of the way?

Huo Wan and Chen Yuan approached slowly, avoiding the protruding steel bars and cement boards around them.

Seeing the ruins cleared by these soldiers in front of them, it seems that a two-person wide passage can be cleared to lead down.

Under the ground, a man was lying there dying, his mouth was trembling and he didn't know if he was talking or what, the expression on his face was very painful.

His left arm was restrained by a huge cement slab.

It was in this posture that I stayed underground for two days and two nights.

Huo Wan didn't even dare to think about how the other party came here these two days and two nights.

"There is no other way, let's amputate the limb." The leading soldier answered Li Huai's question with a sullen face. They tried to find a fulcrum to lift the cement slab with a rope, but there was no place around them that could bear the force.

There is no fulcrum, and an already weak person could be killed instantly if the cement slab is not properly fixed and pressed down again.

This is something no one wants to see, and although amputation will be disabled from now on, it is better than death.

The expression on Li Huai's face after receiving the order was also very heavy, but he quickly adjusted his mentality, turned around and said to the two: "We are going to do something, please prepare for first aid , the scene may be a little bloody... I suggest you, it is best not to watch it."

Huo Wan stared at Li Huai with her eyes wide open, her face full of unbelievable surprise.

She suspected that something was wrong with her ears. If she understood correctly: "Are you going to amputate like this without any guarantee or anesthesia?"

If you do this, will people really not be hurt to death?

Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

She asked the question Chen Yuan wanted to ask, and the two of them were shocked by Li Huai's words.

However, as soon as the words were spoken, they received several different gazes, and they immediately realized what kind of question they were asking.

This question seems redundant.

Obviously there is no medical equipment and anesthetics available here. If there is a second alternative, Li Huai doesn't have to run back to find someone to help.

It would be great if it can be withdrawn within 2 minutes like the sent WeChat/letter message.

Maybe it's because what happened today refreshed Huo Wan's cognition time and time again, that's why his IQ went offline for a short time.

"I'm sorry, I was too naive, let's start." In order to make up for it, Huo Wan simply suggested to start directly.

She and Chen Yuan went underground to perform some simple medical disinfection on the dying man, and then tied the man's left arm tightly with a cable tie to prevent excessive bleeding after the amputation.

Perhaps it was because their movements were a little too forceful, and the man who had already fainted woke up again at this time.

The other party opened his eyes weakly, and for some reason seemed to sense what he was about to face next.

In addition to despair and pain, there is a deep pleading in the pair of eyes, yes, it is pleading.

Huo Wan was closer, and clearly heard the man's weak pleading voice: "Please, let me die."

"I can't amputate, I don't want to be disabled."

Let me die, when even death becomes a luxury.

This sentence shocked Huo Wan's heart a lot, and Chen Yuan also heard this sentence.

Chen Yuan didn't hold back one step ahead of Huo Wan, and started walking towards the ground. These two sentences made her feel that saving people was such a cruel thing for the first time.

The hearts of the two people were impacted to varying degrees.
