Chapter 227 But peace of mind
"Well..., where am I?"
The middle-aged man who was rescued by Liu Xiu and Zhao Wangshan's "joint" woke up and murmured blankly. When he found himself in a heavy rain, he turned over fiercely.
But he was obviously a little weak and almost fell down with a staggering look.
Liu Xiu quickly supported him and said, "Uncle, I don't know why you fell into the water and were washed here by the skyrocketing river. Fortunately, Mr. Zhao was caught up. You are still a little weak. Take a break first. If you can still act, go home quickly to avoid worrying your family, but you have to pay attention to safety along the way."
After hearing what Liu Xiu said, the middle-aged man quickly figured out what was going on. He looked at Liu Xiu gratefully, then broke free from Liu Xiu knelt down at Zhao Wangshan and said to him after robbing: "Xiaomin is a villager in Shanghe Village. He was originally rushing to collect food in the fields, but he was unfortunately involved in the surging river... Thank you for your kindness for saving your life. Xiaomin cannot repay you. He treats you as a cow and a horse."
Zhao Wangshan quickly stepped forward and helped him up, and said with a compassionate look on his face: "Brother, don't do this, and you are grateful to the wrong person. Although I took it up, I thought you were dead at that time. It was this guy who saw that you still have some help. You can survive after giving it to him. He should thank him."
After hearing what Zhao Wangshan said, the middle-aged man did not doubt that he had him, and turned around and looked at Liu Xiu and knelt down, "Thank you for your help..."
Liu Xiu could not make him kneel down, and immediately helped him shake his head and interrupted, "Uncle, don't thank me, I am a doctor, saving lives and helping the wounded is a duty. It's just that your life is not worthy of death. Go home quickly, to avoid family members' worries, and if you are wet all over, it will be bad if you are sick. Go back and change your clothes and drink some ginger soup to drive away the cold."
The middle-aged man couldn't kneel down and stopped insisting after a few times. Liu Xiu was right and hesitant to go back quickly. However, after looking at Liu Xiuhao Zhao Wangshan, hesitantly said: "Don't you leave?"
"Brother, go back quickly. I don't know when the heavy rain will fall. The river water continues to soar. Many people must fall into the water. I decided to stay here and catch as much as I can. As for Mr. Liu, I will advise him to leave as soon as possible." Zhao Wangshan shook his head and said, most of his attention was still focused on the surging river.
Then, after he finished speaking, he picked up another person with a bamboo pole. When Liu Xiu saw it, he remained silent. The man was dead and he did not have the ability to revive the dead.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "Two people are here to save people, how can I leave? Although I don't have the means, I can still help a little."
Liu Xiu was so amused and said, "Uncle, why bother with you? You can't even take care of yourself."
"It is already a blessing in disgrace for me to be able to live. There must be many people who have been equally unfortunate as me. Stay here to help. First, I would like to thank you for your life-saving grace, and then I will regard it as accumulating virtue." The middle-aged man said stubbornly.
Liu Xiu was still trying to persuade him, and Zhao Wangshan, who had put the newly caught corpse aside, pondered and said, "Since that's the case, brothers, please stay and help."
Zhao Wangshan can catch people, but he can't let those corpses be placed where they are? Although Liu Xiu said that his doctor had no ability to cure and save people, he could not guess at all, but he could not find that he had no power to tie a chicken and did need someone to help.
Moreover, from his perspective as a warrior, although the middle-aged man was a little weak in drowning, his body was strong and he could withstand it. He would observe silently that once the middle-aged man could not withstand it, he would send him away no matter what.
"Well, brother, do you need my help?" The middle-aged man immediately started taking on work.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu no longer insisted. Although he would meet Zhao Wangshan here to catch people, he was idle anyway, so he might as well help here. Maybe he could save some lives later. He was a doctor and would not turn a blind eye.
Zhao Wangshan looked at the dozen corpses beside him and said, "Well, brother, go to the town to inform the chariot and let him drive a ox cart over and pull the corpse over to park it. If any family members come to claim it, please take it back for burial. If no one claims it, let the chariot live and bury it on its own in a few days."
Qingliu Town has a charity village, which is funded by wealthy families in the town and managed by a dedicated person. It is usually used as a corpse for temporary storage. If an unexpected situation occurs, such as a beggar who is frozen to death and starved to death in the town, the charity village is also responsible for collecting and burying the corpse.
After Zhao Wangshan's arrangement, the middle-aged man immediately turned around and left.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Wangshan remembered most of his attention on the river surface, and persuaded Liu Xiu, "Young Master Liu, you are weak, and the rain is getting heavy, I advise you to leave quickly. Since you are a doctor, you should know the consequences of getting sick."
Liu Xiu did not show off and smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao is still here to do righteous deeds, so how can I leave? Besides, I am a doctor. If I wait, I will be like the uncle before. Could it be that I missed to save my life like this? I know the priorities, so Mr. Zhao doesn't need to say much."
Thinking about it for a moment, Zhao Wangshan stopped insisting, looked at Liu Xiu's gaze with great relief, nodded and said, "Young Master Liu is young, I see that you are weak in physical condition. If you have time to sit in my place afterwards, I will think of a way to help you regulate your body."
"If you have time, I will definitely disturb you," Liu Xiu smiled, thinking that he was thin? But I knew in my heart that Zhao Wangshan was in good intentions.
While speaking, Zhao Wangshan caught another body...
This heavy rain was too big and too big, and I don’t know how vast the place it affected. Zhao Wangshan has already caught several people with his martial arts skills, and I don’t know how many families were affected by this heavy rain.
Liu Xiu felt a little uncomfortable. After he thought about it, he knew that the reason why so many people were rushed here by heavy rain was probably because the farmers could not bear to have their crops drifted away and still worked in the fields.
Food is the lifeblood of farmers. In order to regain some food, few farmers are reluctant to take risks.
The middle-aged man who had left for half an hour came back, and there was also a ox cart from the charity village. After they learned a little about the situation, they immediately transported the body beside them. However, seeing Zhao Wangshan was still salvaging him, they thought they would have to come later.
Liu Xiu also began to get busy. With Zhao Wangshan's salvage, there was always someone who was lucky to have not died. This was his job.
When a drowning person has a heartbeat and breath, Liu Xiu can save him. Even if the other party is weak, he will obviously get seriously ill afterwards. However, he secretly gave the person who was treated some blue water droplets to avoid worrying about it.
So, the Qingliu Town Bridge, where heavy rainstorms poured, became busy. Zhao Wangshan would pick up one person every few minutes, and sometimes one or two people would pick up one or two in a row.
The ox carts transporting the bodies came one after another. There were always one or two lucky people who came here by heavy rain who were rescued by Liu Xiu. No one like this left, so he stayed to help.
Time passed little by little, and the heavy rain did not stop at all. The river water continued to soar. After a few hours, the river water was less than one meter from the bottom of the bridge.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Wangshan looked at the six or seven people who were rescued by Liu Xiu and left to help, saying, "In this way, you will immediately go to Qingliu Town to inform you to go door-to-door to anyone living in a low-lying place, let them quickly clean up the fines and softness and go to the high place. I am worried that this heavy rain will affect most parts of Qingliu Town!"
When they heard these words, they were all moved, mainly because they were scared by Zhao Wangshan's words. Will this heavy rain really cause such a big disaster?
Although they had some doubts, they did not hesitate and immediately went to Qingliu Town to inform them from each other.
Not long after, the entire Qingliu Town became "lively". No matter whether they were willing or not, no one would make fun of their lives. For a moment, the town had a variety of laughter and scolding.
It is said that the will of heaven is unpredictable, and manpower is limited. By the evening, Zhao Wangshan had already caught nearly 500 people from the river. Although he was a warrior, his cultivation was not high. Even if he couldn't take much effort to catch a person, he was very tired after being busy for so long.
It was not that Liu Xiu was unwilling to help, but mainly that Zhao Wangshan stood in the middle of the bridge and could be worried that the entire river surface would be inconvenient to intervene. Although Liu Xiu seemed to be concentrating on treating those who were not dead, he actually made great efforts in secret. His mind power radiated out, and those people below the river surface were quietly sent by him to Zhao Wangshan's nose.
Of course, this is limited to the radiation range of his mind power, and he is powerless to do anything else.
However, in the evening, although Zhao Wangshan was still gritting his teeth and insisting on not giving up and picking up more people, he had to leave. The heavy rain lasted for so long, and fewer and fewer people could catch them in the future, and it was almost said that the bridge deck was almost flooded by the skyrocketing river water.
Finally, watching the last car of corpses transported away, Zhao Wangshan dispersed the crowd and sighed: "I can only do so much. There is enough manpower. I hope more people will be safe and sound."
After sighing, he looked at Liu Xiu helplessly and said, "Young Master Liu, let's go, leave here, it's no longer safe."
"Mr. Zhao must not be sad. There are so many hardships in the world. We cannot help the world. If you encounter treatment, please be at ease. If you say that the sufferings of sentient beings are too unrealistic," Liu Xiu comforted.
After a smile, Zhao Wangshan said, "How could I not see through these things? I just feel a little sad. Let's go, I have to go back too."
"Since that's the case, I'll leave first. If you have free time in the future, I'll bother Mr. Zhao to worry about the purity of the simplicity of Mr. Zhao." Liu Xiu bowed slightly.
Zhao Wangshan nodded, then glanced at the surging river, and sighed again and walked away.
Looking at his back, Liu Xiu didn't know if he was tired or sad inside, but in short, he seemed to have grown much older all of a sudden.
"This is the true righteous man. He does not seek to gain knowledge and achieve the world, does not seek to help the people, is unknown, does good deeds in silent places, and talks about his mind and nature. I am not as good as him!" Looking at Zhao Wangshan and Liu Xiu, who was leaving, said in his heart.
