Chapter 212: Moving to His House
Hearing Jin Zhi's words, Gu Li pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed stiffly.
For their sake? Yan Qing really thinks about them so much.
After settling down, Gu Li and Jin Zhi went to the Spring Return Hall.
When he walked to the gate of the Spring Return Hall, Gu Li sensed that something was wrong. The floor of the outer hall was wet, and there were many sick people.
"What's going on?" She asked.
Doctor Hu and Doctor Qin were busy treating the injured, so the shopkeeper Fang said to her: "The dam in the south of the city has burst, flooding a lot of people, and our Chunhui Hall has also treated a lot. ”
"Burst? Why did the levee burst? Gu Li was shocked and surprised.
"Who knows," shopkeeper Fang sighed, "Maybe it's raining so much in the past two days that the embankment has been washed away." ”
There seems to be only one reason that can be explained.
Gu Li didn't think much about it, and immediately went to the ward with Jin Zhi to join the ranks of saving people.
Most of the injured who were sent were drowned, Gu Li and the other two doctors did cardiac resuscitation on the injured without stopping, and if they were saved, they immediately let them take anti-inflammatory and anti-infection drugs. Those who were not saved could only notify their families and say "sorry".
At this time, after the heat and nervousness and fatigue, Gu Li was sweating, but she didn't even bother to wipe it, she immediately left the ward and asked the shopkeeper Fang, "How is the disaster?" ”
She guessed that the damage caused by the dam burst must be not small, otherwise, there would not have been so many injuries in the spring return hall.
Shopkeeper Fang just asked someone to inquire, and replied: "The situation is not optimistic, it is said that the water has poured into the city gate, and all the five or six miles near the city gate have been flooded. ”
"How deep is the water?" Gu Li asked again.
"The deep places can reach the top of people's heads, and the shallow places can also reach the thighs." Shopkeeper Fang looked solemn and sighed again.
"There must have been a lot of people who were affected." Gu Li frowned.
"Isn't it? The house was full of water, and everything was floating. ”
Gu Li pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked the shopkeeper Fang, "How much burnt lime do we have here?" ”
"I can still have a few dozen pounds." Shopkeeper Fang replied.
"Prepare more."
Shopkeeper Fang pondered for a while, and then understood her intentions.
"Are you afraid that there will be an epidemic?"
Gu Li nodded: "Yes, there are often major epidemics after disasters, and now there is a lot of water in the city, even if it is channeled out in time, it will drown many poultry and livestock." Now that the weather is hot, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen. ”
Shopkeeper Fang understood the seriousness of the matter, and replied: "Then I'll let people prepare more, and Mugwort Leaf Shochu will also prepare more, just in case." ”
"And gloves and masks, so be prepared."
After Gu Li finished talking to the shopkeeper Fang, he went to the lounge, changed his sweaty clothes, washed his hands and face, and put on gloves and masks.
She had come from Yan Qing's house today, which was high and quiet, so she hadn't heard of the flood along the way.
The terrain of Changning City is high in the north and low in the south, the high terrain in the north is the gathering area of dignitaries, and the low terrain in the south is the residential area of the common people.
To the south, beyond the city gate, over the moat is the mountain, and the terrain gradually rises higher, and the embankment is built here.
If the water rushes back to the embankment, it will rush from high to low in the direction of the city gate. There is a depression at the gate, where the flood water that bursts the levee must have deposited. If the drainage is not immediately channeled, then the consequences will be unimaginable.
Although Gu Li was worried, she couldn't help much. Fortunately, the government's action was relatively fast, and people were immediately sent to clean up the stagnant water.
But how to resettle the hundreds of victims is another difficult problem.
The government allocated manpower to set up a disaster camp and built a straw hut on a high ground in the city to temporarily resettle the homeless victims there.
Gu Li is not optimistic about this at all, the disaster victims gathered, it was summer, and the humid and hot environment was especially suitable for the reproduction of bacteria and the spread of diseases.
After going back that night, Gu Li took out all her savings and took them to Chunhui Hall the next day and handed them over to the shopkeeper Fang.
"Doctor Gu, what is this going to do?" The shopkeeper is unknown.
"The shopkeeper went to buy some medicine and sent it to the disaster victims." Gu Li replied.
She never collects much money for treating and saving people, so she doesn't have much savings. After making up for the house money owed to Yan Qing, there were only a dozen taels of silver left, all of which she took out.
Shopkeeper Fang understood what she meant, and he didn't refuse: "Okay, I'll write it down, let's do it." ”
"Doctor Gu is really a bodhisattva and a benevolent doctor." Shopkeeper Fang was sincerely amazed.
Gu Li smiled and shook his head: "I don't dare to do it, in fact, to put it bluntly, I'm also afraid that something will happen." If something happens, I'm going to be threatened. ”
Shopkeeper Fang laughed, and said, "Then I will also take out all the silver on the account of Chunhui Hall to buy medicinal materials and send them to the disaster camp, what do you think, Doctor Gu?" ”
Gu Li said with a smile: "That's very good." ”
"You agree?" Shopkeeper Fang asked again.
Gu Li nodded: "Of course I agreed." ”
Shopkeeper Fang asked her like this, and there was still a thought hidden in her words, but Gu Li didn't notice it for a while.
Although the shopkeeper Fang is the shopkeeper of Chunhuitang, he is only a nominal one. This Chunhuitang belongs to Gongzi, all the decisions are made by him, and the property is naturally his, and the shopkeeper only has the right to manage, not the right to use.
However, the current situation is not optimistic, it is imminent to donate money and medicine, and the son is not in Changning, so the shopkeeper Fang first got Gu Li's promise.
She agreed, and the boy certainly wouldn't blame him.
Shopkeeper Fang prepared the silver money and immediately asked people to go out to buy medicinal herbs. After the medicinal materials were bought, he had to personally escort them to the camp.
"I'll go with you." Gu Li walked out and said.
"Don't be, I don't know what the situation is over there, so you better not go." The shopkeeper was opposed.
But Gu Li insisted: "It's because I don't know how, so I have to take a look, and after reading it, I can know it in my heart and better deal with it." ”
She said as she fastened her mask.
When Shopkeeper Fang saw that she insisted on going, he could only let her go with her.
When she arrived at the disaster camp, Gu Li immediately frowned when she saw the scene in front of her.
I saw that in this open space, there were twenty or thirty straw huts close together, and there were more than a dozen people crowded into each shed. The floor of the hut was covered with straw, but it had already been wet and muddy from the trampling.
Shopkeeper Fang went to hand over the medicinal materials to the soldiers who managed the disaster camp, and Gu Li walked along the grass shed.
The stagnant water at the city gate has been almost cleaned up, but the road is still muddy, and Gu Li has not walked far before her skirt is soiled by the muddy water.
She didn't clean it up, but walked a short distance forward, when she suddenly saw a cloud of cooking smoke floating in front of her.
