Chapter 393 My family's heritage cannot be measured by age!
"It's nothing!" Qiao Manman shook her head, leaning forward uncontrollably.
Gradually, the plane slowed down and came to a stop on the empty runway.
Lu Yuan comforted her and got up to open the cabin door.
Qiao Manman took the opportunity to stuff a lot of medicinal herbs and food into her suitcase and bundle.
As the heavy darkness of night seeped in, a group of people got up and carried supplies off the plane in an orderly fashion.
Xia Zhao stayed behind to get Qiao Manman's luggage, but Lu Yuan, who had returned, beat her to it.
In a corner where no one could see him, Qiao Manman handed him a bottle containing hundreds of concentrated Rejuvenation Pills.
The size of a grain of rice, yet its efficacy is undiminished; give it to anyone in need. Saving others saves yourself and accumulates merit.
Lu Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Be careful!" Qiao Manman said, then suppressed her smile and carefully disembarked from the plane.
Looking at the raging fire on the distant mountain, my heart clenched with anxiety.
The scorching air carried a slightly burnt smell, and Qiao Manman told everyone to put on their masks.
A group of people arrived at the command center with relief supplies. Lu Yuan had a brief conversation with the person in charge, and then a young soldier came over and took Qiao Manman to the medical team.
Qiao Manman opened her suitcase, took out some oil tea powder and ointment, and told them to eat their fill before proceeding.
On the way, the young soldier glanced at her curiously several times.
Qiao Manman asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?"
"I never expected that a military spouse would take the initiative to come to the rescue!"
In reality, he doubted Qiao Manman's abilities, feeling that she was just trying to join in the fun and steal credit, and that he even had to drag a female soldier along with her.
Qiao Manman nodded: "I know medicine. Commander He specially invited me to come and oversee the rear!"
When you're out and about, you must make your identity clear to avoid being looked down upon, which would hinder your work.
The young soldier was taken aback: "Your sister-in-law looks very young!"
"Yes, my family has a long tradition that cannot be measured by age!"
The young soldier was speechless, thinking to himself that since the leader had agreed, it must be quite impressive.
Upon arriving at the medical team, I whispered a few words to the person in charge, and their angry expression immediately softened.
When the instructor tested Qiao Manman on the spot, she answered fluently and even provided a lot of advanced experience that even the person in charge was unaware of.
"Your teacher is...?"
"Qiao Lingyue, have you heard of him?"
"Oh, it was him! You should have said so earlier, or I wouldn't have asked you for so long!"
Qiao Manman touched her nose: "I had no idea my great-uncle was so famous!"
To the outside world, the two families remain distant relatives to avoid unnecessary trouble.
As they talked, the two arrived at the medical tent. Many wounded patients lay there, their lives hanging by a thread.
Doctors and nurses tried their best to save the patients, but they couldn't stop the wounds from festering after being burned by the fire.
"Dr. Yuan, we're almost out of antibiotics!"
With temperatures this high, without antibiotics, it's practically certain death.
The wounded were continuously being sent from the mountain, and supplies were being transported down the mountain in batches, but none of them contained medicine.
Medicines are in short supply nationwide. Even if we drain the surrounding hospitals, we still can't keep up with the rate at which they are being consumed here.
Qiao Manman made a quick decision, opened her suitcase, and took out two large plastic bottles.
"Take this and apply it to the patient's wound; it can reduce inflammation and speed up wound healing!"
"what is this?"
"Burn ointment, a family secret recipe! Go quickly, don't waste time!"
The young nurse looked at Yuan Yarong, seemingly at a loss, and only left with the bottle after seeing her nod slightly.
After she left, Yuan Yarong looked at Qiao Manman with worry: "Comrade Qiao, I've tied my future to those two bottles!"
Qiao Manman patted her chest: "Don't worry, that medicine is definitely effective. It has already been used on many people in Northeast China!"
"Okay, I believe you!" In reality, it was a desperate measure, a last resort.
Qiao Manman knew this, but she didn't care.
After wandering around and getting a basic understanding of the casualties, he found a corner and crushed the talisman in his hand.
The Spring Breeze and Rain Talisman wasn't as powerful as she had imagined; perhaps it was because it wasn't her area of expertise, and the fire was extinguished very slowly.
That's enough, though. As long as the fire doesn't spread, it can probably be extinguished.
Qiao Manman crushed all the Spring Breeze and Rain Talismans in the space, and also made a bunch of barrier talismans and other talismans to lock the fire within a certain range.
The people on the mountain were desperately trying to put out the fire, armed with shovels and brooms.
Suddenly, a bunch of dark clouds drifted across the sky, and after a while, it started to rain in the distance.
Although the rain was light, it greatly reduced the size of the flames. The rising steam was not hot at all; instead, it seeped into their skin, replenishing their moisture and energy.
After finishing what she could do, Qiao Manman went back to the tent to help.
She skillfully cleaned the wounds, applied medicine, and changed the gauze, gently reassuring them: "Don't worry, I have scar removal cream. This burn won't affect your future lives!"
The injured villager laughed and said, "It's okay, I've lived most of my life, it doesn't matter if I'm ugly or not."
"Give your medicine to the little children. They're not married yet; they can't be disfigured!"
"Don't worry, there's enough medicine!"
After all the injuries were treated, everyone sat on the ground, completely exhausted.
Qiao Manman asked, "Dr. Yuan, what are the dinner arrangements for tonight?"
Before Yuan Yarong could even speak, someone said, "The food is for the firefighters. Let's hold on a bit, we can last a few more hours!"
Even so, Qiao Manman could clearly hear the rumbling in her stomach.
"Do you have a pot? I brought some oil tea noodles, I'll cook some for everyone to fill their stomachs!"
"You...you're going to subsidize us yourself?"
Have you thought this through? There are so many people here; if you drink them all up in one or two meals, you'll go hungry!
Qiao Manman nodded: "Let's solve the immediate problem first, and we can deal with tomorrow's problems tomorrow. Maybe the fire will be out by tomorrow morning!"
"It's been burning for so long, how could it possibly be put out just like that!"
Hua Sui muttered under her breath, then got up and led the way: "Comrade Qiao, it's not too late for you to regret it now!"
Qiao Manman took a food bag out of her suitcase and jogged after him: "No regrets, no regrets. Medical staff are heroes too. Don't think of yourself as so insignificant."
I'll make it a little thinner, so if there's any left, we can share it with the wounded."
Turning his head, he said, "Zhaozhao, you stay here and help out. I'll be right back!"
Xia Zhao nodded: "Sister-in-law, don't wander off. Call me if you need to go anywhere, and I'll come with you!"
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and left with Hua Sui.
Yuan Yarong watched the two figures walk away, smiled, and went to check on the patient's condition.
It was quite strange to find that the patients treated by Qiao Manman were all in very good spirits.
"How is the wound?" she asked.
"Dr. Yuan, the new drug your hospital is developing is really effective. After applying it, the wound doesn't hurt as much anymore."
The burning sensation that used to pierce through my internal organs was almost completely gone. My God, this must be a miracle drug!
"Are you sure?" Yuan Yarong carefully examined the other person's wound and found that it was faintly healing.
This speed astonished her.
"Absolutely! Before, I wanted nothing more than to kill myself, but now, I really want to live."
