Chapter 14

The rain was heavy, but it was gradually subsiding.

Jiang Nianzi and Zhang Grandpa walked over a mountain before reaching the top of the mountain next to Daimu Village.

The water had risen, and the village was already submerged.

From afar, Jiang Nianzi saw the villagers gathered on the hillside, where there was a makeshift shelter, and everyone was taking shelter from the rain.

Many people were trapped on the rooftops waiting for rescue, while others had been swept away by the flood.

In the middle of the river, a child of about five years old was clinging to a piece of driftwood, Jiang Nianzi saw the soldiers forming a human chain.

One holding the hand of another, one of them walked over the outstretched arms, ready to rescue the child.

Jiang Nianzi couldn’t help but quicken her pace, and together with Zhang Grandpa, she quickly reached the shelter on the hillside.

Although the rain was gradually subsiding, it was still quite heavy.

There were a few soldiers guarding the villagers at the shelter.

Under the impact of the flood, many people had been hit and scraped by branches and heavy objects in their struggle to survive, and there were many injuries.

Jiang Nianzi and Zhang Grandpa came to the shelter and saw that only one old doctor was treating the villagers.

The sudden arrival of Jiang Nianzi and Zhang Grandpa made everyone in the shelter look at them.

Dr. Li, who was bandaging the wound of a villager, saw the two and hurriedly said: “Old Zhang, come and help.”

“Okay.” Zhang Grandpa was a quick and efficient person, he didn’t hesitate, put down his medicine box and started treating the nearest villager.

Jiang Nianzi was also ready immediately.

The first thing she noticed wasn’t the villagers’ injuries, but the dark sleeve of one of the soldiers.

The army green uniform, when wet, was a darker color. Everyone’s clothes were wet after the heavy rain.

But the color of this soldier’s arm was even darker than the other parts of his body.

It was blood.

Jiang Nianzi immediately walked to the soldier.

“Sit down first, I’ll treat your wound.”

The situation was urgent, Jiang Nianzi didn’t bother with formalities.

She could help one more person in the time she would have spent on being polite.

When Jiang Nianzi and Zhang Grandpa came over, the soldiers initially thought they were villagers who had been rescued.

Hearing Dr. Li’s words, they realized that these two were doctors.

The soldier was stunned: “No need, please treat the villagers first.”

In the eyes of the soldiers, protecting the people was their first priority.

Seeing that he wouldn’t listen, Jiang Nianzi directly pulled him and made him sit on a rock: “In front of a doctor, everyone is equal, pull up your sleeve.”

Injuries had to be treated according to their severity.

She saw that the color of his clothes was getting darker, she knew the wound must be serious.

Suddenly being pulled down by a girl.

Li Wen felt awkward.

But under the current circumstances, he didn’t have any extra thoughts.

Seeing him struggle to pull up his clothes, Jiang Nianzi directly took out a cutting knife and “whoosh, whoosh” made two cuts, tearing his clothes open.

Her movements were very quick and precise, making Li Wen jump in surprise, he looked at Jiang Nianzi in astonishment.

This girl was so fierce.

Seeing the wound on his arm, Jiang Nianzi’s eyes widened.

Were these soldiers made of iron?

He was so badly injured, yet he could still bear it without a sound.

On the man’s wheat-colored arm, a rusty iron spike was embedded. The spike wasn’t big, only about a centimeter in diameter.

How long it was, she didn’t know.

His arm was already swollen.

Jiang Nianzi clicked her tongue, it must be infected.

“Bear with it.”

Fortunately, she had considered these situations and brought a lot of disinfectant.

The disinfectant was something she had made herself when she had nothing to do, she soaked some herbs in white wine, reducing the strength of the alcohol while enhancing its disinfecting ability.

Conditions were limited, Jiang Nianzi could only quickly heat a blade with a match.

Then she asked Li Wen: “How long have you been here?”

Li Wen and his team had been here for a day, he was about to tell her, when suddenly, a sharp pain came, making his veins bulge on his arm.

He unconsciously let out an “ah.”

Jiang Nianzi asked him questions to distract him.

She moved quickly, and in a few seconds, she pulled out the iron spike. Li Wen thought it would hurt for a long time, but she had removed the spike so quickly.

Goodness, she didn’t know until she saw it, she was shocked.

The iron spike was actually about three centimeters long.

It was completely embedded in the flesh.

As soon as the iron spike was pulled out, Jiang Nianzi immediately poured her homemade disinfectant on it.

This time, Li Wen was truly in agony, he couldn’t help but groan several times.

After quickly disinfecting the wound, Jiang Nianzi poured some hemostatic powder on the wound with one hand, and with the other hand, she took a bandage and quickly bandaged Li Wen up.

She was so quick, not because she was careless.

It was because she had participated in countless volunteer rescue activities.

Perhaps because she didn’t feel warmth at home, she always liked to go to those places filled with human warmth.

Seeing one kind-hearted volunteer after another, she was able to believe that there was love in this world.

Li Wen and his comrades were once again shocked by Jiang Nianzi’s efficient movements.

She was quicker than their military doctor?

Wasn’t she afraid of blood?

She was so calm.

But the situation was urgent, everyone was just surprised at the time, they didn’t have time to think about it.

After bandaging Li Wen’s wound, Jiang Nianzi said to him: “I’ve just done a simple treatment, you should go to the hospital for a proper treatment after this, okay?”

Jiang Nianzi was beautiful, even though her skin wasn’t fair now, she was still memorable.

Li Wen hummed: “Thank you, doctor.”

Seeing that he had taken her words to heart, Jiang Nianzi started treating the next patient.

While Zhang Grandpa was getting the medicine, he saw Jiang Nianzi’s agile movements and was speechless for a moment.

This girl was really quite brave.

On the other side, after Shen Cheng held the little boy up, he was ready to take him to the shore.

At this moment, the little boy hugged him and cried out loud: “Liberation Army uncle, please save my sister, my sister is still at home, woo woo…”

There was someone else?

“Where is your house?” Shen Cheng quickly asked.

The little boy pointed ahead.

Shen Cheng looked over, it was upstream. There was still a house there, its location was higher, the water had flooded most of the house, but part of it was still above water.

Looking closely, Shen Cheng realized that there was a tile that had been lifted from the triangular roof, and there were two red eyes looking at them.

He immediately handed the little boy to his comrade: “Take him safely to the shore, I’ll go over…”

Everyone heard what the little boy said.

But that was upstream.

The water was coming down from above, it was turbulent, and if you weren’t careful, you would be swept away by the flood.

The others worried: “Captain, let’s go back to the shore first, then we’ll go upstream together to rescue people.”

Only with a human chain could they avoid being swept away by the flood.

Shen Cheng glanced at the rising water level and said coldly: “It’s too late.”

Shen Cheng grabbed a piece of empty tree trunk floating on the water, holding it with both hands, he pulled on the protruding roof in the water, and agilely flipped over and jumped onto it.
