Chapter 86 Supplies Arrive
With the cooperation of the villagers, Song Jinyue and Lin Xiaoxiao quickly began the rescue efforts.

Because of its low-lying location and the heavy rainfall on Qiongzhou Island in the summer, their village had been flooded before, but not as severely as this time.

Having learned from past mistakes, the village chief and experienced fishermen now check the dike immediately whenever they see something amiss with the weather.

Seeing the river rising rapidly, he immediately returned to the village and went door-to-door to gather the villagers, urging them to take refuge in the mountains.

Thanks to the village chief's wise decision, no one died in the flood.

However, the mountain road was slippery, and it was raining heavily. The raindrops hit the body like stones, causing a lot of pain. Many people slipped and fell on the road and got injured.

After giving the little girl an antipyretic injection, Song Jinyue cleaned the abrasions on the woman's arms and ankles.

Lin Xiaoxiao and the others also began to treat the injured villagers. After working for most of the day, they finally finished treating all the abrasions on the villagers' bodies.

"Thank you so much, doctors."

When doctors Song Jinyue and his team arrived, the villagers, who had been feeling dejected, were immediately filled with hope.

The wounds stung a little from being rinsed with disinfectant, but their faces were filled with hope and smiles.

"You're welcome. Although everyone's injuries are minor, the temperature and humidity here are not conducive to wound healing. Please let us know immediately if you feel unwell."

After bandaging the villagers' wounds, Song Jinyue gave them one last instruction.

No sooner had the words been spoken than a male doctor walked in excitedly from outside.

"The supplies have arrived! Everyone has something to eat!"

The villagers, who had been hungry all night, lit up at the news.

The incident happened suddenly yesterday. Upon receiving the notification, the villagers immediately rushed up the mountain with their families. Now that it's hot, leftover food spoils easily, so everyone cooks only enough for the current meal to avoid wasting food and leaving no leftovers.

They thought they would be fine after one night, but the rain got heavier and heavier and even flooded the village.

Without food, they could only tighten their belts and endure the hardship.

Adults can tolerate it, but children will cry and fuss for food if they are hungry for too long.

Now, upon hearing that there was food, they all stood up in unison, rubbing their empty stomachs and swallowing hard.

This comical yet adorable appearance left everyone both amused and exasperated.

"Let's go and make backup."

After Jiang Peng finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out, and the other male doctors followed suit.

A dozen minutes later, Jiang Peng and his male doctors, along with a team of engineers, arrived at the cave carrying supplies.

"The road up the mountain is a bit slippery, sorry to keep you waiting."

Captain Jiang Chuan looked apologetic, then turned to the engineers behind him.

"Please distribute the supplies quickly."

"Yes, Captain."

As the engineers were distributing supplies to the villagers, Song Jinyue noticed that several of them had worn-out clothes, their military green uniforms stained dark green, and they carried an unmistakable smell of blood.

"Comrade, let the village chief handle the distribution of supplies. I see you've all been injured; we'll treat your wounds right away."

After finishing speaking, Song Jinyue turned around and went to get the medicine box next to her.

The villagers noticed their tattered clothes and the strong smell of blood, and felt even more guilty.

"Comrades, you've really gone to a lot of trouble. If you hadn't been delivering supplies to us, you wouldn't have been injured."

"Yes, comrades, thank you."

Jiang Chuan quickly waved his hand and said, "Please don't say that, everyone. Protecting the people and serving the people is our duty." "The captain is right!"

The other engineering corps comrades nodded in agreement, their smiles sincere.

Despite saying that, the villagers of Dahe Village kept their kindness firmly in their hearts.

The village chief and several fishermen arrived at the boxes containing supplies. When they opened the boxes, the neatly arranged supplies came into view.

The engineers were all injured while escorting the supplies, but they managed to protect the supplies very well.

They would rather fall down than waste a single resource.

The village chief and the others had tears in their eyes and made up their minds to repay the comrades who had helped them in the future.

They weren't very skilled and made a living by fishing. Once the floods were over, they would go out to sea and deliver the freshest fish and shrimp to the military region so that all the comrades could enjoy freshly caught seafood.

The villagers shared the same idea.

Song Jinyue, Lin Xiaoxiao, and others brought medicine kits to the engineers and examined their wounds.

Jiang Chuan's arm was injured, and his clothes were stuck to the wound with blood.

Song Jinyue said with a solemn expression, "I need to tear my sleeves open. Please bear with it."

Jiang Chuan nodded. "It's okay, I'm not afraid of pain."

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Jinyue first used scissors to cut a section of his sleeve, and then tore off the clothes stuck to the wound bit by bit.

Veins bulged on Jiang Chuan's forehead, and large beads of sweat streamed down his face, but he didn't utter a single groan.

As a soldier, he can bleed and sweat, but he must never shed tears.

Song Jinyue first cleaned up the blood around his wound, then disinfected it with antiseptic. Just as she was about to apply medicine to the wound, Jiang Chuan quickly stopped her.

"Comrade, my injury is nothing serious. Medicine is in short supply, so let's prioritize the villagers' use."

In their eyes, protecting the people is the top priority.

Song Jinyue looked up at him and said seriously, "In a doctor's eyes, everyone is equal. Don't move."

After she finished speaking, she began to apply medicine to Jiang Chuan's wound.

The military's responsibility is to protect the people, while the responsibility of these doctors is to treat every wounded soldier and be their strong support.

After delivering the supplies, Jiang Chuan and the others did not stay long. Only Song Jinyue and Lin Xiaoxiao, along with fifteen other doctors, remained to keep a close eye on the villagers' health.

The sky quickly darkened.

The villagers had their fill, and with doctors like Song Jinyue staying with them, their tense emotions completely relaxed.

Lin Xiaoxiao and the others were exhausted after a long day. They found a place to sit in the cave at night and fell asleep against the stone wall not long after.

The cave was filled with the sounds of snoring, which kept Song Jinyue awake.

He took a flashlight, got up, and quietly went outside.

The torrential rain that had been falling for three days and three nights finally stopped, and the air in the mountains was very fresh.

After exiting the cave, Song Jinyue used a flashlight to survey the surrounding environment and discovered that the mountain was quite large.

She walked forward with a flashlight, intending to find a secluded spot to hide in her space and take a shower.

As they walked, they came to a corner where a lot of thick branches were piled up, covered with vines, which could just cover Song Jinyue's figure.

Just as she was about to walk over by holding onto the tree branch, the branch, which had been washed by the heavy rain, suddenly loosened. Song Jinyue was startled and quickly let go of the branch.

Before she could calm down, a dark crack came into view.
