Chapter 68: For Whom
Chen Tang stood on the military truck, taking advantage of the time the vehicle was driving to close his eyes and rest.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, more than 30 military trucks arrived at the front line of disaster relief.
Reconnaissance helicopters and rescue helicopters constantly flew overhead.
Chen Tang and the soldiers of the Western Military Region quickly got out of the car, and after getting out of the car, Chen Tang glanced at the surrounding situation.
The scale of this mudslide is not very large, the casualties are unknown, but many houses were destroyed.
The military dogs in front are looking for a life that may still be alive.
The soldiers of Chentang and the Western Military Region all went to the front line of the disaster and were responsible for the transfer of the masses, the transportation of sand and gravel, the distribution of materials, the treatment of the wounded and sick, and the maintenance of public order.
By the time we were done, it was already dark.
At this time, the barking of military dogs was heard not far away, which was the sound of military dogs discovering survivors.
Chen Tang was stunned for a moment, and immediately rushed over there.
After running here, Chen Tang heard a faint sound, and then used a tool to pry the stone slab open, and a little five meters below, there was a little girl of seven or eight years old squatting there, her injuries were not big, only the abrasions on her forehead.
Chen Tang lay on the ground, stretched out his palm to her, and said, "Give your hand to my brother, and my brother will take you out." ”
The moment he held the little girl's palm, Chen Tang pulled the little girl up hard.
But at this moment, five or six boulders slipped from above, and the boulders pressed towards Chen Tang and the little girl.
Chen Tang's face changed, he hugged the little girl tightly, protected her with his body, and rushed to the side.
"Poof! ……”
Although Chen Tang avoided these five or six boulders, because he was protecting the little girl, his back was torn by the falling boulder pinnacle.
A sharp pain came, and blood gushed out.
The wound was deep, up to four or five centimeters deep, and the wound was also very long, from the left shoulder to the waist.
"Are you alright?" Chen Tang looked at the little girl in his arms and asked with a smile.
The little girl shook her head, glanced at the blood that had already flowed to the ground, and said softly, "Big brother, you bleed." ”
"It's fine, little injury." Chen Tang got up with the little girl in his arms, he knew that he had to get out of here quickly, after all, this was a dangerous area.
After leaving here, Chen Tang handed over the little girl to the medical staff, and only after checking that the little girl's health was okay did Chen Tang start to bandage the wound.
"Your wound is too deep to be stitched up." After a volunteer female doctor finished speaking to Chen Tang, she immediately said, "There are not many anesthetics, I'll go get them for you." ”
Due to the large number of injured people, the anesthetic is obviously insufficient, and although there are still medicines on the way, it is not yet known when they will arrive.
"No need." Chen Tang opened his mouth and said, "Give the anesthetic to those who need it more, you can directly treat the wound for me and sew it up!" ”
"This ......" the volunteer female doctor frowned, such a long, deep opening, no anesthesia......
"It's okay, hurry up, if you slow down, there may be one more casualty." Chen Tang shouted in a low voice.
"Okay." The female volunteer doctor began to disinfect Chen Tang, then stop the bleeding, and then suture it.
It was very painful to stitch up the wound, and dense beads of sweat appeared on Chen Tang's forehead, and he took out a box of cigarettes that were already soaked from his pocket, lit one, smoked half a cigarette in one go, and then slowly exhaled the smoke.
"Big brother, are you alright?" At this time, the little girl who was rescued by Chen Tang ran over, holding a few chocolate candies in her hand, peeled them off for Chen Tang with her own hands, and then handed them to Chen Tang's mouth, saying: "This is an aunt for me, and my mother said that smoking is not good for your health, big brother should eat candy." ”
When the words fell, Chen Tang's pupils shrank, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.
"Okay." Chen Tang smiled, and the little girl stuffed the chocolate candy into Chen Tang's mouth and asked, "Big brother, is it sweet?" ”
"Hmmm, sweet." Chen Tang nodded.
"Okay, but you have to rest now, or the wound will open and it will be very troublesome." The volunteer female doctor said to Chen Tang.
"It's okay, I'm very strong." Chen Tang got up, touched the little girl's head, strode out of here, and walked forward.
Disaster relief work is a physical and endurance work, and rescuers must race against time to save more lives.
For three days, Chen Tang was on the front line of disaster relief, sleepy, he stood and squinted for a while, and when he was hungry, he took out the steamed buns that had been soaked in his pocket and ate them, and when he was thirsty, he casually used his hands to hold a few handfuls of water around to drink.
In three days, Chen Tang's wounds had collapsed many times, and they had all suppurated.
But the number of people saved by him reached more than 50 people.
In three days, the rescue work has reached the end and begun to end.
Chen Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally ate the first bowl of hot instant noodles in the past few days and drank the first bottle of mineral water in the past few days.
After eating instant noodles, Chen Tang went to line up to treat the suppurating wound.
When dealing with the wound and suturing it again, without anesthesia, Chen Tang ...... I fell asleep!
Yes, he was too tired, he didn't rest well because of the first assessment, coupled with the shock and rescue in the past few days, Chen Tang's physical strength had long been overdrawn.
Looking at the soldiers who were lying on the ground resting, snoring and covered in mud, broken hands, and haggard faces, many of the media reporting on the scene were in tears.
The disaster relief came to an end, and everyone in the audience burst into tears because of the sound of a song.
Mud covered the trouser legs
Sweat soaked the back of the shirt
I don't know who you are
but I know for whom you are serving
For whom
For the harvest of autumn
In order to return to spring and return to the wild geese
……
The song "For Whom", sounded at this time, which was enough to resonate with everyone at the scene.
The media also recorded a video of the scene, in which Chen Tang's purulent wound was being treated, and he was already asleep because he was too tired.
But there was a cigarette in his mouth that was about to burn out, and just when the cigarette was about to burn to the corner of his mouth, a little girl took the cigarette from the corner of Chen Tang's mouth, and then stuffed a chocolate candy into Chen Tang's mouth.
The video caused an uproar on the Internet and shocked countless netizens.
At the same time, this matter was also known to the heads of the major military regions.
After this incident, the leaders of the Central Military Region had a particularly good impression of Chen Tang, because Chen Tang went out, and this incident did not embarrass the Central Military Region!
Because of this incident, many soldiers in the Western Military Region have developed admiration for Chen Tang, because of what Chen Tang has done in the past few days, they have all seen it, Chen Tang has not even rested much in the past few days, and has been fighting on the front line of disaster relief and rescue!
