Chapter 153 Arranging a Job for the Butcher
This time we walked a long way, all the way to the entrance of the river.
Here three tributaries converge, and the water flow is even greater.
Finally, the father and son were found in the crevice of the rocks at the entrance.
The child was about ten years old and was crying helplessly.
A man stood upright in the crevice behind him, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Tu Shan grew a vine, tied one end to a tree, and hung the other end around her waist, then walked towards the father and son.
"Stop crying and hold on to the vines."
"My dad is dead, my dad is dead, wuwuwu..."
The child was emotionally broken and irrational.
Tu Shan glanced at the man behind him. He was indeed dead. His whole body was stiff, blocking the gap for the little boy, so that the child could survive.
Father’s love is a mountain.
Silently, he tied the vines to the boy, then to the man, and dragged the father and son ashore.
The child kept crying, but she didn't try to comfort him. She carried the man on her shoulders and took the boy, who was crying uncontrollably, into her arms and walked back.
She was quick and reached the old lady just as the others arrived.
"Found it, found it all."
"Oh my god, they're all found. The little girl helped find everyone. Thank God."
"Is the father of this family heirloom gone?"
……
Seeing that they were about to cry, Tu Shan quickly said, "Stop talking for now. Go back quickly. The river is still rising. It's very dangerous here."
The group of people immediately calmed down, not daring to stay, and walked back supporting each other.
Dark clouds loomed overhead, and it felt like a torrential downpour was imminent.
As darkness fell, the vision became increasingly blurred.
There were old, weak and sick people in the crowd, and they walked unsteadily and could not walk fast. They only returned to the confluence of the tributaries when it was almost completely dark.
A lot of people came here, all from the same village, who had gotten separated in the mountains before.
Most of them were injured, several were seriously injured and unable to walk, and two even fainted.
Unable to go home and not knowing where to go, everyone was waiting here at a loss, wiping away tears.
Seeing the people who were with Tu Shan coming back, they gathered around and asked, "Have you found everyone?"
"Where should we go now?"
"Going into the mountains?"
"We can't go into the mountains because they're prone to landslides."
"Then where to go? We can't stay by the river either."
The incident happened too quickly and everyone was in a panic and unable to think calmly.
The darkness added to the fear, so they were spinning in circles like headless flies.
Tu Shan looked anxious: "Don't panic, follow me, I will take you to resettlement. Everyone, please look out for each other and don't fall into the river."
"Is there really somewhere to go?"
"Where else can we go?"
……
Tu Shan said loudly: "Don't ask, just follow me. Don't worry, I won't sell you out. Hurry while there is still some daylight. It will be even harder to walk after it gets dark.
The heavy rain is coming and the river will rise again. We can’t delay any longer.”
The rescued old lady responded, "Let's go, follow the little girl. She saved us, so we can't go wrong by following her."
The men who had seen Tu Shan save people also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and leave, don't dawdle."
Some people agreed and were willing to follow Tu Shan forward.
Visibility was poor at night and the river kept rising, so it took more than two hours to reach the temporary shelter, a journey that should have taken an hour.
A fire had already been lit in the resettlement site, and a man in his fifties was in charge.
"I'm back, I'm back. Come in, my benefactor, come in and warm yourself by the fire first."
The first four people who arrived had already told the others about Tu Shan's help in finding people. The others did not dare to run around and waited at the resettlement point, preparing everything and waiting for Tu Shan and the others to come back.
It was dark and everyone was very anxious, but fortunately everyone returned safely.
Tu Shan handed the person over to the uncle: "What's your name, uncle?"
"My surname is Liang, Liang Tai, and I'm fifty-three this year. Comrade Benefactor, you can just call me Old Liang."
Tu Shan: "Uncle Liang, you're welcome. My last name is Tu, and I'm the third child in the family. You can just call me Third Sister."
Lao Liang...
"Okay, Third Sister. Hello, Third Sister."
He feels no pressure calling her Third Sister.
Tu Shan grinned: "Okay, okay, Uncle Liang, you've taken good care of this place. Please help take care of the people who come later. Use the existing medicines and things for the injured.
I'll go back and see if I can find a doctor. It's not convenient to send us to the hospital with so many of us.
Don't worry, I will be back tomorrow morning at the latest. You can do some ideological work to make everyone not afraid.
We have all experienced disasters, and our hearts are fragile right now. We need comfort. Thank you for your concern."
Lao Liang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Third Sister, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of everyone.
It's just that it's dark now, and it might not be safe for you to go back. Why don't you wait until daybreak? You still have plenty of medicine with you, so it'll last until tomorrow."
Tu Shan shook her head: "Someone is seriously injured and still needs to see a doctor. By the way, the dead must be buried as soon as possible, no delay, pay attention to this, use lime to disinfect, don't save it.
Excrement and garbage also need to be handled centrally. Don't be lazy, remind everyone."
Lao Liang had experienced famine and plague before, so he knew what was most important right now. Even if Tu Shan didn't remind him, he would pay attention.
"Don't worry, Third Sister. I will keep a close eye on it and nothing will go wrong."
Tu Shan left after giving the instructions. Less than a kilometer away, heavy rain began to pour down, and the raindrops hit her body, causing burning pain.
When we arrived at the provincial capital, it was raining there too.
Thunder roared and it felt like the sky was falling.
When she arrived at Tu's parents' residence, Tu Shan was glad that she had reinforced and rainproofed her parents' vine house, otherwise it would be as if there was no one living in it.
"Mom and Dad, have you eaten yet?"
"Shan..." The couple swallowed the name that was on the tip of their tongue. They were not yet sure that Tu Sanmei was Tu Shan.
Tu Shan knew their concerns and didn't care.
"Dad, have you eaten yet?"
The butcher nodded hurriedly: "I've eaten, I've eaten. How about you? Why are you soaking wet? It's raining, and you don't even have an umbrella?"
"I just came back from Yang County and wanted to take Dad to see the old man first."
The butcher's mother hurriedly said, "Then I'll get you some food. The things you brought are all complete and will be ready soon."
Tu Shan waved her hand: "No, I'll go to Zong Zheng's house to eat. Mainly, I have something I want to ask Dad's opinion on first.
Heavy rain in Yang County broke the dike, affecting many people and urgently needing doctors.
This is a good opportunity to make a contribution. Even if it's not for meritorious service, it's still a good deed. If Dad wants to go, I'll ask Mr. Ming to help arrange it. It won't be a problem."
Tu's mother said worriedly, "The disaster area must be very dangerous, right? And your father's body can't withstand the high-intensity work."
The butcher's father was very tempted and didn't care about those things: "The medical staff are all in the rear, it won't be dangerous, and I'm in good health now.
But I'm worried that if I leave and that bastard Tu Liang comes, what will happen to your mother? "
Tu Shan said: "Qiu Yuan was imprisoned because of the black clinic and will never be able to get out. Tu Liang and the Tu family should be busy running relationships and will not come for the time being.
As for Dad, the work on the front line is indeed very intense, and I don’t plan to let you go.
I set up a resettlement site at the border of Yang County to accommodate disaster-stricken people from small areas and small groups. They are few in number and located in remote areas, making them difficult to rescue. I plan to rescue them and then send them to the resettlement site.
Dad is there helping treat patients, it's not very intense and there's no mess."
