What happened is still unknown for now.
Until the next morning, when Gu Jia Ning went out, she heard the people around her discussing something.
Upon listening, she learned that a landslide had occurred on a nearby mountain.
At the foot of that mountain was a village called Xinghua Village. Days of heavy rain had preceded the event, and the local Officialdom had people notify the Village Committee to evacuate immediately if anything seemed amiss.
But many villagers didn't take it seriously, especially in Xinghua Village, where landslides had never occurred before, and the villagers were reluctant to leave their homes.
Then, in the second half of the night, while everyone was asleep, the mountain suddenly collapsed with a loud rumble.
“I heard that at the foot of the mountain, many houses, along with the people inside, were buried.”
“So the military region deployed last night for rescue, right?”
“I wonder how many people they can save.”
“I hope everyone is safe.”
Gu Jia Ning's brows furrowed deeply; the worst-case scenario had happened.
As soon as she entered the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, Gu Jia Ning saw a little old man rushing in. “Everyone, quickly pack your medicine boxes; we're going to Xinghua Village to support and rescue the injured.”
After speaking, he ran to Gu Jia Ning, looking her up and down with admiration in his eyes. “You're Little Gu, aren't you? Come with us quickly.”
“Okay,” Gu Jia Ning quickly replied.
Without time to ask more, Gu Jia Ning, Doctor Zhou, Doctor Lu, and the old man got into a Jeep.
On the way, Gu Jia Ning learned that the little old man was actually Elder Chen, the founder of the Military Region Hospital, where she had been assigned to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department.
Soon, the Jeep stopped.
“We need to walk the rest of the way.”
After getting off, Gu Jia Ning saw that not only the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department but also doctors from other departments were there.
After a brief explanation from Elder Chen, Gu Jia Ning learned that after the landslide in Xinghua Village last night, not only had soldiers and military dogs rushed to the rescue, but also some doctors and nurses from the Surgery Department, Emergency Department, and other departments of the Military Region Hospital had gone.
But there were still not enough people, and it was best for someone to take over the first wave of doctors and nurses.
Therefore, doctors and nurses from other departments, not just the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, had come.
After all, there was only one hospital in the vicinity, the Military Region Hospital.
And since the soldiers had been deployed, they couldn't be left behind.
The rain was still falling, but it had lessened slightly.
However, it still made rescue difficult.
At this time, Gu Jia Ning and the others were wearing raincoats and walking through the muddy mountain path towards Xinghua Village.
Gu Jia Ning had to be thankful that she was only over two months pregnant. Although she was carrying twins, her belly wasn't showing much yet. Thanks to the Pregnancy Sacred Body Pill and Comfortable Pregnancy Pill, her stamina had improved considerably.
As they got closer to Xinghua Village, Gu Jia Ning saw many tents set up and people coming and going—soldiers and villagers.
Faint cries could be heard in the distance.
As they got closer, Gu Jia Ning saw that the landslide had buried the houses. Through the rain curtain, she saw the devastation. Military dogs were desperately sniffing for survivors, soldiers and villagers were digging together to save people, and stretchers were being carried out one after another…
A child cried and called for their parents beside a stretcher.
A disheveled middle-aged person wailed beside an elderly person covered in mud, who was already lifeless on a stretcher.
A young mother knelt on the ground, digging with her own hands, calling her child's name…
This scene moved Gu Jia Ning.
In the face of nature's power, human strength is so insignificant.
And the only thing Gu Jia Ning could do was to do her duty as a doctor and treat the injured well.
Without hesitation, Gu Jia Ning immediately entered a tent and joined Doctor Zhou and Doctor Lu in treating the injured.
Gu Jia Ning was grateful that she had diligently studied and memorized a vast amount of medical knowledge, and that her surgical skills were good.
As a result, among the injured brought to Gu Jia Ning, as long as they were still breathing, she could save them.
Of course, those who were critically ill could only have their lives temporarily preserved and needed to be sent to the hospital for further treatment.
But for those who had already passed away, Gu Jia Ning was helpless.
Even though she had the Childbirth System, with its Exchange Mall and current points, there were no resurrection pills.
Even if there were, Gu Jia Ning thought, she wouldn't dare use them.
People came and went outside the tent. Stretchers were brought in, one batch after another. The rain kept falling, occasionally intensifying…
Gu Jia Ning didn't know how long she had been busy; she only knew that after treating one person, she immediately treated another.
Outside the tent, soldiers, military dogs, and villagers were searching for people, racing against death. The sooner a person was found, the greater the chance of survival.
Outside the tent, Gu Jia Ning and other doctors and nurses also dared not rest, racing against death.
“No, this patient is too badly injured; I, I can't save them.”
Many doctors, not surgeons, could only perform simple hemostasis and bandaging for external injuries. Even surgeons, because of the backward medical technology of this era, found it very difficult to treat seriously injured patients in such an environment.
Because Gu Jia Ning happened to be nearby, she looked up, and her eyes, like a scanner, scanned the person's injuries in two seconds.
Only Gu Jia Ning could see the display showing the person's injuries and how to treat them.
After reviewing the information, Gu Jia Ning said she could treat the patient.
So, upholding the principle of saving lives, Gu Jia Ning immediately said, “Send them here; I'll treat them.”
The doctor recognized Gu Jia Ning, the one who performed Battalion Commander Cui's leg surgery, and his eyes lit up. “Yes, Doctor Gu might be able to.”
The injured person was quickly brought to Gu Jia Ning.
Gu Jia Ning quickly began treatment and stabilized the patient's condition; the patient was out of danger.
“Doctor Gu, I also have a seriously injured patient…”
“Doctor Gu, this patient may need an amputation, but he's the head of the household; his whole family depends on him. If he has both legs amputated, then…”
“Doctor Gu, this person's bleeding won't stop.”
“Okay, bring them all here.” Adhering to the principle of saving as many people as possible, Gu Jia Ning didn't refuse and agreed to them all.
The injured were quickly brought to Gu Jia Ning.
Gu Jia Ning worked quickly, her needlework precise and ruthless. Every patient brought to her who had been expected to need an amputation didn't need it. Those whose bleeding wouldn't stop, who looked like they were about to die from blood loss, all had their bleeding stopped…
