Chapter 13 Rescue
The white shirt was torn into strips.
Xia Zhi instructed Zhou Zhengan to help her tie up the wound of the injured man's artery.
She didn't have enough strength to stop the bleeding.
Zhou Zhengan tied the tourniquet and watched the blood that was surging just now gradually coagulate, and couldn't help showing a look of joy.
Although the face of the injured man was still pale, it was much better than before.
"How do you know these?"
"I wanted to enter a medical school before, so I studied it. It's barely half a bottle."
Xia Zhi couldn't tell Zhou Zhengan that this was what she learned in her previous life.
The conditions in the reclamation area were very simple, and there was not even a clinic in a team.
If you want to see a doctor, you have to walk hundreds of miles to find a clinic.
In the desert area, you may have fed the wolf or some wild animal after walking hundreds of miles.
You may also get lost and die of thirst and freezing.
Anyone who has lived in the reclamation area for more than ten years, how could he not have learned this simple rescue skill?
Not to mention this, even if it was just to sew up the wound, he didn't say a word.
The two began to get busy again.
Xia Zhi helped the injured bandage the wound.
Zhou Zhengan was busy carrying the injured off the train.
When it was dark, the rescue team finally arrived.
The accompanying doctors and nurses carried the injured to the ambulance, and a special car took them away.
The remaining passengers will be arranged to take them to the next station to rest temporarily. The train has now stopped running.
Zhou Zhengan sat next to Xia Zhi.
Two groups of people have left, and they are the last group. It is already dark now.
The temperature gradually dropped.
Xia Zhi didn't bring two clothes, and he was shivering with cold at night.
He had to stand up from where he was sitting and walk back and forth to add warmth to his body.
Zhou Zhengan, who had already collapsed beside him and was already asleep, was suddenly awakened by the sound of footsteps.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the thin figure pacing back and forth, rubbing his fingers with his hands while pacing.
He suddenly woke up and touched his coat, because they were used to the climate here, and they prepared thick clothes in advance when they went out.
He didn't feel cold even though he was sitting in the wilderness after putting on his clothes in the middle of the night.
Zhou Zhengan looked at the people around him who were already exhausted. In fact, there were not many people left, only about ten.
The next bus should be more than an hour later. He looked at his watch and it was about this time.
He stood up and took off the coat on his body.
He walked to Xia Zhi.
"Put it on."
He didn't wait for Xia Zhi to refuse, and directly put the coat on her shoulders.
Xia Zhi immediately felt a warm feeling on her body. On the coat on her shoulders, she could still smell the soap on Zhou Zhengan's body and the faint smell of tobacco.
It was not strong, but quite nice.
"Comrade Zhou, no, no, it's quite cold at night. You wear it, I'll walk for a while, I'll be fine when the car comes."
Xia Zhi saw Zhou Zhengan's sleepy eyes and a little bleary, and knew that he must have woken up and opened his eyes to see his movements back and forth, which made him feel chivalrous.
He wanted to take off the coat from his shoulders, but Zhou Zhengan held his fingers, and Zhou Zhengan's big hands were very warm.
"You said we are friends, if you are friends, don't be polite to me, in this situation, no man will let a woman suffer from cold."
Zhou Zhengan jumped twice on the spot.
"I have slept for a while, and now I have all the energy to run for a while, which is much better than you.
I told you that when I was a child, my mother called me a little stove.
It's because I am warm all over, like a stove, you wear the coat and rest for a while."
Zhou Zhengan looked at the watch again.
"I estimate that the car will come in another hour. You can take a nap for a while. It won't be that cold."
As he waved his hand at him, he saw Xia Zhi standing there with slightly red eyes looking at him as if he wanted to cry, and hurriedly said.
"Don't be like this. I'm not trying to make you cry."
Xia Zhi sniffed.
"You saw it wrong. I didn't cry."
"Okay, okay, I saw it wrong. Comrade Xia Zhi, you should go and have a rest."
Looking at Xia Zhi sitting aside wrapped in her coat, leaning on the luggage.
Zhou Zhengan smiled.
He didn't know what the girl's family situation was, but he knew it was not easy.
In addition to the shabby clothes she wore, she couldn't even afford to eat.
But he could see that the girl was very sensible and clear about the boundaries. She was rarely willing to take advantage of others.
She was a good girl, self-reliant and self-loving.
His help at this moment was from the heart, and it was definitely not because Xia Zhi could bring him the taste he lacked.
More than an hour later, the sound of the car's engine woke everyone up.
At this moment, people started to load the luggage onto the bus. It was the last bus, and the luggage could not be loaded onto the bus. Soon, no one would be left with luggage.
Zhou Zhengan carried three suitcases and put them directly onto the bus.
Just as he was about to get off the bus, he saw Xia Zhi holding three large bags and trying to squeeze into the bus door. He hurriedly took the bags from her, complaining as he took them.
"You should carry less at a time. How can you be so stubborn as a girl?"
Xia Zhi squeezed into the bus holding the last bag in her hand.
"There are only three bags left. If I'm not being stubborn, why should I ask someone to run another trip?"
Putting down the bags, Xia Zhi fell into the seat.
This kind of big sedan is hard to find these days, and their car broke down halfway.
Only people from the Railway Bureau can enjoy this kind of treatment, and it's really not available in other places.
Zhou Zhengan sat beside her and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"This journey is quite thrilling."
Before Xia Zhi could speak, the comrades who got on the car had already started to register, and each of them was given two steamed buns and an egg.
When it was their turn, Zhou Zhengan deliberately stood up.
"Xia Zhi, please help me get the food first."
"Let me check if everyone is on board?"
Xia Zhi didn't think much about it and agreed readily.
"By the way, take a look. Xiao Liu, where is Liu Qianjin? I forgot to notice when I got on the car just now. I don't know if he got on the car?"
Liu Qianjin didn't want to go with others, so he was happy to follow Xia Zhi.
Zhou Zhengan agreed.
Xia Zhi took Zhou Zhengan's and his own steamed buns and eggs, and sat alone waiting.
After a while, Zhou Zhengan led Liu Qianjin behind him and came over. Liu Qianjin was holding his steamed bun in his arms and chewing it.
"Xiao Xia, steamed buns, there are steamed buns."
He even enthusiastically handed over his half-bitten steamed bun.
This child's mind is not even that of a teenager, and he doesn't even understand the ways of the world.
"Liu Qianjin, you eat quickly, I have some here."
Zhou Zhengan glanced at Liu Qianjin, and only then realized that such a big boy seemed to have something wrong with his brain.
