The message was an order. Soon, the command center organized a rescue medical team to cross mountains and rivers to provide disaster relief in the neighboring village.
The mission of this group of people was very clear. First, they would deliver food and medical assistance to the people in the disaster area, and then wait for the follow-up support troops to open the road and rescue them.
It may only take one or two days. The rescue team has organized 20 people, including 14 rescue troops and 6 medical personnel.
Liu Qiaoer also applied to join, and when she joined the group, she saw that Lu Yunzheng and Cui Boxiao were both there.
Cui Boxiao and his classmates were all there, and the other one was from the kitchen team. Cui Boxiao and his classmates took ropes, shovels, and carried a lot of food, mineral water, food, and many cotton-padded clothes and quilts.
Almost everyone carried dozens of kilograms.
The medicine boxes carried by Liu Qiaoer and the others also contained medicine, as well as simple medical equipment.
Because the place is relatively remote and the terrain is not easy to travel, there used to be only one winding mountain road connecting the village to the outside world. Now the winding mountain road is blocked by gravel on the mountain, and they can't get out at all.
The only good thing now is that they have not lost power and their cell phones have signal. After the earthquake happened there, they habitually save themselves first and then leave the village.
Only when they saw that the only road out of the village was blocked did they call for backup.
Planes have already dropped some relief supplies to them, but there are some injured people in their village who need treatment, and there is no doctor in the village.
Some of the houses in the village collapsed, and the people buried underground needed to be dug out. Some of them were still alive.
Liu Qiaoer and her group started off, with someone leading the team in front and the people behind lined up in a row. They did not take the winding mountain road, but only a simple mountain road to climb up.
Cui Boxiao was in front of Liu Qiaoer. He walked in front while protecting Liu Qiaoer behind him. Lu Yunzheng was behind Liu Qiaoer. He was carrying a large bag of medicine on his back and holding a medicine box in his hands.
He also protected Liu Qiaoer as he walked.
At this time, the three people were of one mind. No matter how difficult and dangerous the road was, they had to quickly deliver the medicine to the injured people.
They need to climb over this mountain to reach the village over there.
Liu Qiaoer had also climbed mountains and knew that mountain roads were difficult to walk on. Of course, she knew that when she took the villagers to the Taoist temple, the road was also difficult to walk on.
Besides, there are so many amazing people today.
Suddenly, Liu Qiaoer slipped and half of her body slid down. Her legs were blocked by Lu Yunzheng's body, and her arms were held by Cui Boxiao.
Looking to the side, there is a bottomless abyss if you fall down.
"This mountain is really steep."
Fortunately, Liu Qiaoer also grabbed the vegetation nearby. She was wearing gloves on her hands and was not scratched. She was wearing a mask and a hat on her face, but there was a piece of mud on the mask.
Cui Boxiao pulled her up and wiped the mud off her mask.
"Be careful."
"good."
The group continued to move forward. When they could no longer walk, they came to the road and leaned against the cliff. The leader said, "Rest for 20 minutes and then set off again."
Liu Qiaoer looked at the time. They had set out at 6:10 in the morning and it was already 1:00 in the afternoon.
No wonder she was tired and hungry. She had digested her breakfast long ago and hadn't eaten lunch yet.
They couldn't eat too well, so they just had a piece of bread, a sausage, and a box of milk, which was enough. The bread, sausage, and milk were all brought by them and distributed to Liu Qiaoer and the others.
Liu Qiaoer also brought her own hot water, and Lu Yunzheng also brought his own kettle filled with hot water.
Liu Qiaoer saw Cui Boxiao finish drinking the milk, then went to open the mineral water bottle and handed him her hot water: "It's cold, drink some hot water."
Cui Boxiao shook his head: "You drink it yourself, I don't need it."
After dinner, Liu Qiaoer pounded her legs and felt like her legs were not her own.
Just as she was about to stand up and find a place to relieve herself, her calf suddenly cramped.
In pain, she grabbed Cui Boxiao's clothes and squeezed them hard.
"My legs are cramping..."
Cui Boxiao and Lu Yunzheng stood up together, one holding Liu Qiaoer and the other holding Liu Qiaoer's feet, slowly pulling her back. Cui Boxiao quickly rubbed her calf muscles with his hands a few times.
"Sit still and get some rest. Otherwise the cramps will hurt more at night."
Liu Qiaoer was a little embarrassed: "I want to go to the bathroom."
Cui Boxiao smiled gently and pointed to a big tree not far away: "Come on, I'll take you there."
Liu Qiaoer thought the tree was quite strong, but it was not easy to squat down without being seen. It was easy with the help of Cui Boyiao.
Wherever Cui Boyao stood, she took off her coat, which just happened to cover herself tightly. As long as she blocked these people, there would be no one else on the entire road.
After Liu Qiaoer quickly solved her physiological problem, other female comrades also came to help solve it.
They were two by two, blocking each other. Liu Qiaoer found that these men were quite conscious and all had their backs to them. No one dared to peek.
The women have finished. The men will be there soon.
The captain looked at his watch. They had rested enough, had their meal, and gone to the toilet. They packed their things and set off again.
It was not until after six in the evening, after climbing for twelve hours, that their rescue team finally arrived at this small place.
There are not many people in the village. The young people have all gone out to work, and the older children have gone to school in the next village.
Because the earthquake occurred during the day, there were only elderly people left in the village and a small primary school with only seven or eight students, an elderly principal and a young volunteer teacher.
The primary school in the village is a Hope Project. Although the area it was built on is not large, it has all the necessary facilities, including a basketball court, a running track, bright and clean classrooms, and semi-new tables, chairs and benches.
The quality of the classrooms is really good. Even in such a severe earthquake, there was no damage at all in the school.
The village chief organized the rest of the people in the village to come to the school and wait.
The classrooms in the school were where they slept and the school cafeteria provided them with food. Not many people were injured. It was said that only two or three households were crushed by the landslide in the village.
The village chief knew about it and sent people to help with the rescue, but the villagers were all young and old, so he was in a difficult situation.
Seeing Liu Qiaoer and the others coming, the village chief quickly asked them to help rescue people.
The first person to arrive was an old lady in her eighties who lived alone. The house she lived in had been in disrepair for many years. When the earthquake happened, she was slow to react and could not run, so she was crushed underneath.
The old lady was very kind. When she saw someone trying to save her, she told them in a weak voice, "You don't have to save me. I'm old. It's not necessary."
However, everyone’s life is not important. A group of young men carried the roof beams, which were thicker than their waists, away and carried the old lady out of the rubble.
There was another family with an old man and his two-year-old grandson.
When the old man saw them, he said excitedly: "Don't save me, save my grandson first, he is over there."
