Chapter 3214 Casualties
A person next to me took one look and said, "It's gone. Just dig out one of her. I don't know if the rest are still alive."
Zhou Man hurriedly carried the person into the tent and asked someone to get a clean quilt. He took off the wet clothes on her body and wrapped the person in the quilt. She held the person in her arms with the quilt and said, "Pour a cup."
Warm water and boil another bowl of brown sugar water, faster."
Someone quickly followed the order and left. Zhou Man held the person in his arms, pulled the needle bag, took out a few thin needles, and groped for a few needles on her body...
Warm water was delivered quickly, and Zhou Man carefully fed her half a bowl and then another bowl of brown sugar water. The child's pulse gradually became stronger...
Zhou Man breathed a sigh of relief, put her on the wooden board, pressed the quilt on her, and then took the needle bag and left, "Let them change all the wet clothes on their bodies. If they don't have enough clothes, light a fire, drink more warm water, and pay attention to their health."
Temperature, be careful of hypothermia.”
"Yes, but Mr. Zhou, it's June now, people won't have hypothermia, right?"
Zhou Man: "Although the rain has stopped now, it has been raining for several days. The weather is already cold. If people continue to wear wet clothes and blow the night wind, they will get sick even if they don't lose temperature."
"I'll let people go now."
Zhou Man was busy all night, and it wasn't until dawn the next day that she could fully see the area where they stayed.
This is a piece of dry land where beans are grown, and there is wasteland next to it. However, because too many people came, the government directly flattened this piece of bean land and expropriated it.
The village is at the foot of a mountain, and most of it has been destroyed. Only a few scattered houses are still there. The fields not far from the village have been washed away by flash floods, and the place is in a mess.
The county lieutenant is still leading people to dig out people.
Zhou Man stood at the edge of the field, her figure swaying, Xi Cake hurriedly supported her, "Madam, you have been tired all day and night, please rest for a while."
Zhou Man looked back at the injured patient lying on the ground sleeping and asked, "Has everything been dealt with?"
"Yes, all the patients brought here have been dealt with, and the rest is the county government's business." Xibing paused and said, "Their rescue speed cannot keep up with our treatment speed. Madam, do we want to go?"
Help dig people out?"
Zhou Man said: "Everyone has been awake all day and night. You go and make arrangements so that everyone can get some sleep, leave some people behind, and the rest go with me to another village."
"Didn't I send a team of people over yesterday?"
"They don't have many people, and they don't bring many supplies. I want to go check it out. There are other villages, and there are still too few doctors. I don't know if there will be doctors from other counties."
For doctors, treating illnesses and saving people at the rear is more effective than poaching people in person.
Zhou Man only went to squint and woke up within two quarters of an hour. Then he ate a bowl of gruel, called the guide and went to the next village.
County Magistrate Sun is here. He hasn't slept all night, but he was about to leave. "I have to go back to the county office to dispatch supplies. Mr. Zhou, I'll leave this to you."
Zhou Man nodded and moved around several severely affected villages, sleeping at most two hours a day. When Tang He and Bai Erlang came to find her, they almost couldn't recognize her when they saw her.
Tang He clicked his tongue and shook his head, "This is the first time I've seen you in such a mess."
Bai Erlang: "Although it's not my first time, it's rare. How many days have you gone without washing?"
Zhou Man stretched out four fingers and looked at the two of them with a tired look on his face, "How did you get together?"
She had guessed that Bai Erlang was here to provide disaster relief. Why was Tang He here too?
Tang He said: "I arrived at Mount Tai. I felt an earthquake five days ago. As soon as I found out it was from Qingzhou, I came here."
Tang He glanced at the village that had been cleared out, sighed and asked, "How are the casualties?"
Bai Erlang handed her the bag specially filled with snacks. Zhou Man took it and sat on the straw mat next to him. He took out a piece of snacks from it and ate it. "The statistical work is not done by our medical department, but with our
Judging from what I’ve learned over the past few days, it’s no less than 60%.”
Tang He was horrified, "How could the casualties be so heavy?"
"It's a natural disaster. The timing is wrong." She gave her a piece of cake and asked for a bowl of water. After taking a sip, she said, "The earthquake occurred in the early morning. At that time, most people were still sleeping.
It’s raining and there are very few people getting up early.”
"Less than half an hour after the earthquake, flash floods came down. The people who were buried originally had a high chance of being alive, but now there are even fewer people alive, not to mention those who barely escaped death.
He was washed away by the flash flood before he could even react."
She said: "There are still many people missing now. Most of them were washed away by flash floods and could not be found for a while. Others have disappeared without a trace."
Tang He frowned and asked, "Is the success rate of treatment high?"
"Fortunately," Zhou Man said: "If you take them out and they are still alive, 80% of them can be saved, but there is nothing we can do about the remaining 20%."
She said: "We have brought enough medicine, and the county government can still provide water, food, quilts, clothes, etc."
Tang He nodded.
Bai Erlang: "So this is completely a natural disaster?"
Zhou Man: "The earthquake must be a natural disaster, and the flash flood is probably not a man-made disaster. But after this time, the people of Changshou County should choose a better place to settle their villages."
Tang He stood on tiptoe and glanced at the mountain behind the village, and said, "The mountain should also be strengthened."
Bai Erlang was stunned, "How to reinforce it?"
Zhou Man said while eating snacks: "Planting grass, planting trees, digging trenches and building walls are all methods, but they require a lot of manpower."
Tang He nodded, "Yes, but in order to live, these are all worth it."
Zhou Man finished eating all the snacks and felt a little better. She patted her clothes and stood up, "I'm going to work."
She didn't care about the two of them, and people from the county government came to greet them.
Tang He came here incognito with some people. The people in the county government didn't recognize him and thought he came with his consort, so they politely asked him aside.
Bai Erlang left a large amount of disaster relief materials at the county government office and brought some of them down, mainly to see Zhou Man.
Also coming with him were doctors from Beihai County. Because of their arrival, Zhou Man felt a lot more relaxed.
There are very few new patients now, but the previous patients still need to be taken care of. It takes a long time to treat wounds every day and prescribe and change dressings.
Tonight Zhou Man finally had some free time. She took a hot bath, washed her hair, changed into clean clothes, and then sat on the wooden bed and fell asleep.
Bai Erlang and Tang He came over, "We brought a lot of food and some meat, and decided to make more to comfort everyone. Do you want to go out and have a look together?"
Zhou Manqiang cheered up, asked Xibing to tie her hair, and followed the two of them out.
The night was getting dark, and everyone was already eating around the campfire. The injured people were divided into several groups. Needless to say, those who were seriously injured could only lie in the tent, while those who were slightly injured sat with everyone.
Are there any book friends who don’t know? The Beihai County in the book is not the current Beihai in Guangxi, but the Weifang area in Shandong. Because the ancients also called the Bohai Sea the Beihai, Beihai County and Beihai County were established in that area.
