Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 258 Disaster Relief
Yuxian and Junye ran all the way and arrived in the capital in seven days.Yuxian didn't care about anything, and went to Fang Hongze to inquire about the situation. Fang Hongze told Yuxian that the imperial court sent 20 troops to the disaster area with Haoyu.In addition, 1000 million taels of silver were allocated for disaster relief, and Haoyu had full authority to dispose of it.Fang Xin and Cao Wenxiu also went to the disaster area with Haoyu.

After figuring out the situation, Yu Xian felt a little relieved, and then went to Tongrentang again.Fang Yun is not in Tongrentang now, he has already left Beijing, but Shunzi is still there.Yuxian told Shunzi that from now on, he should keep all the profits from this year and use them to purchase various medicinal materials.He also gave Shunzi the 10 taels he brought from home and his own 5 taels of banknotes, and asked him to help buy food, cotton clothes and quilts from the south, and then send them to Huazhou along with the medicinal materials. .

After arranging these, Yuxian and Junye went directly to Huazhou.It took a total of ten days to reach the scope of Huazhou.When we got to the outskirts, we saw a lot of simple tents or wooden houses set up in some stable places, and many victims lived in them.The more she walked inside, the more frightened Yu Xian felt. Houses collapsed everywhere, the ground cracked, and people were crying everywhere.

They walked and inquired all the way, and finally arrived at the location of the rescue army.In front of him was a tent, not only lived soldiers, but also many civilians.The common people are all yellow and thin, and some of them are still injured. The winter here is much stronger than that in the Northeast, but it is not warm. People huddle together to keep each other warm.

After finally reaching the big tent of the Chinese army, a few soldiers stopped Yuxian and Junye. "Stop, you can't just walk around here."

Jun Ye came forward, "Guys, we are here to find Lord Tong, please inform me. Just say that I am his elder brother."

A soldier rushed in to report, and after a while, both Jun Wei and Jun Huang came out. "Brother, little sister? How did you come together? Where did you find the little sister?" The two quickly brought them into the tent.

Haoyu sat in the middle, with Cao Wenxiu and Fang Xin beside him, and several people in armor, who should be the generals leading the troops.Haoyu saw Yuxian at a glance, and stood up excitedly, "Yuxian, why did you come here? It's dangerous here, you should go back to Beijing."

Yuxian's heart warmed up, she didn't expect that Haoyu's first thought was her own safety, "Haoyu, it's okay, that's why I came here. When you came, was there a doctor with you?"

"Yes, in the tent next to it is the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital. I have been busy treating the injuries of the rescued people these days, and I am exhausted. The key is that the medicine is not enough. I have sent someone back to Beijing I guess it will take a while to get the medicinal materials." Haoyu said with some worry.

"Don't worry, I'll send Uncle Han over some of the medicinal materials at home. It should be in the next few days. There are also many medicinal materials from Tongrentang, which will arrive soon. I have already asked Shunzi to send someone to the south to collect enough medicinal materials." Go, and when the capital comes back with another batch, it will be almost usable." Yuxian persuaded Haoyu. "How is the rescue situation now? I'm afraid there is no possibility of surviving the people who are crushed in the soil. We should try our best to rescue those who can move." Fortunately, in this era, it is usually just a one-story house. If something is wrong, many people They can still run out, so there should not be many people buried in the ground.

"Our current position is not far from the center, maybe twenty miles away. The army has already been sent in, trying to bring out all the people who are still alive. However, there are still aftershocks here. It is also a hindrance to saving lives. In addition, there is not enough food and warm things. We have given all the tents to the people as much as possible. The soldiers have no place to lie down and sleep at night. Sitting and sleeping next to each other, there is no way." Haoyu was very helpless, in the face of this kind of natural disaster, the manpower seemed particularly small. "There are more than 40 people rescued now, and the supplies are simply not enough. There are not so many things in the court now. I heard that they have been collected from various places. When will we have to wait?"

"Don't worry, like this, I looked at it when I came here. There are many places where the disaster is not serious, and the people can be organized to rebuild their homes immediately. I think there are many things that can still be looted, and the damage is not serious. The only thing that is nearby The block can be more powerful, first ensure the safety of the people, and then go all out to grab and dig things. The people live in bungalows, so it is easier to get things outside. Fortunately, the most powerful place is not in the center of the city, but in some remote areas. This is a small mountain village, it's a blessing." Yuxian couldn't think of a good way, so she had to do so. "The most important thing now is to appease the people and don't let them make trouble. After all, some people were still affected by the disaster. In addition, we must not let the bad guys take advantage of it, because there may be all the property of the family in the ruins. Be sure to watch it."

"Well, I haven't given much thought to these things. I'm just focusing on saving people. Come on, go and see those people with me." Several people got out of their tents, and then walked forward slowly, passing by the houses of the common people. Yuxian felt particularly sad.

It was just about to eat at this time, and some porridge was cooking in a big pot. Yu Xian stepped forward to take a look, and the porridge was quite thick.Around each cauldron, there will be a lot of people waiting there with broken bowls and so on.These people were very quiet and lined up there in an orderly manner, and no one came forward to rush to get things.When the person in front filled the porridge, he passed the spoon to the person behind, and he took the bowl to the side to drink.Some people don't have bowls, so they borrow them from those who have drunk them. There are no dishes, only porridge, and people still drink it deliciously.

When we arrived at the place where the wounded and sick were, many doctors were changing the dressing and bandaging the wounds.Yuxian saw it, and couldn't help but stepped forward to help, changing the dressing of a little girl whose leg was injured.

"Brother, do you think I can leave in the future?" the girl asked Yuxian, because Yuxian was wearing men's clothes, so she called her brother.

Yuxian checked her leg carefully, and found that it was broken, and the leg was swollen and thick, but it was not connected.Yuxian touched the girl's leg with her hand, and took out the silver needle and the anesthetic developed with Fang Yun from the small box she brought.He dipped some medicinal powder with a silver needle and pierced several points on the girl's body.After a while, the little girl gradually became a little confused. Taking this opportunity, Yuxian groped with her hands and reattached the girl's legs. The last time, even though the anesthetic had been used, the girl was still in pain. cried out.

"Okay, don't cry, the legs have been connected, and you can walk in the future." Yuxian softly comforted her.Then I found two sticks, put them on the girl's legs, and tied them with hemp rope. "Don't move around recently, it will be fine after a while."

The girl was crying in pain, and nodded, "Thank you brother."

A few doctors nearby saw it and surrounded them, "What did you use just now? We also want to join her leg, but her leg is already swollen. If we force her to join the bone, it will definitely hurt." She passed out, so I didn't dare. I didn't expect that the things in my brother's hand would have such an effect. I don't know how much I have left, can I take it out for everyone to use?" one of the older doctors asked .

"Uncle, I don't have much of this stuff, so I don't want to waste it. In this way, if there is anyone who is not easy to treat, please leave it to me, and I will treat it." There are not many anesthetics, and those who don't know how to use them I'm afraid I wasted the medicine before I waited for anything.

"It's okay, it's rare that you little guy has a good heart. Well, let's do what you said. If there are serious injuries, we will leave them to you." The doctor didn't say anything more, but continued to help the injured. treat.At this time, several soldiers brought some porridge over, "Doctor Gao, please take all the doctors to eat first, if you are starving, no one will heal these wounded." Haoyu Said on the side.

The old imperial doctor saw that it was the crown prince, and just about to come over to greet him, Haoyu waved his hand, "There is no need for so many etiquettes, we are outside now, just feel free."

All the doctors came over to eat some porridge, and then hurried back to treat the patients.Yuxian was also in the ranks of saving lives. Haoyu didn't say much when he saw this, and brought Junwei and the others to help.

"Haoyu, you go back first, you are of little use here. Your main task, as I said, is to watch over all the people, stabilize the mood of the people, and don't cause any trouble. If there are not enough soldiers , so I hurried to transfer some more. Besides, those with minor injuries can also join the ranks of rescue. And those women, let them come to help us take care of the seriously injured, and we can pay them. If the food arrives, you can count it as food for them. This can mobilize people's emotions and quickly forget the pain. Well, you go back quickly, I'm fine here." Yuxian saw that Haoyu and his brothers were not at all It's not the materials for these things, let's hurry up and do something more useful.

Haoyu nodded, he really couldn't play a big role here, so he led Junwei and the others back.Back in the big tent, according to what Yuxian said just now, several people made an overall plan, and then each was responsible for one piece, and they all went out to work.
Han Guangqi arrived on the third night, bringing a lot of medicinal materials and a lot of food, "Yuxian, this is the first batch of food, there are fifty carts in total, about [-] catties, you All the food in the wine shop has been emptied. Yun Song has already gone to the town and the county to mobilize the chamber of commerce to donate food, and the second batch is expected to arrive soon."

"Uncle Han, thank you for your hard work." Seeing Han Guangqi's appearance, Yuxian knew that they came here day and night.
