Chapter 416: Each Has Their Own Injuries
After resting on the rock for a while, he laid his whole body on the tree and began to pull the rope up little by little.
But he still underestimated Director Qian's weight and overestimated his arm strength.
Just when he pulled the man to a distance of one meter, his hands had no strength left, and he was able to hold on only by relying on brotherhood.
Just when Commander Zhu's arms were throbbing with veins from overexerting, Director Qian, who was suspended in the air, woke up.
When he woke up, he saw himself hanging in the air and screamed in fear, "Ahhhh, help me!!!"
Commander Zhu, who was already exhausted, was so frightened by his shout that he let go of his hand. Then he heard a "bang" from the pit, followed by Director Qian's voice shouting "It hurts, it hurts."
"Old Qian, how are you? Are you okay?" Commander Zhu shouted to Director Qian who was lying below.
He didn't mean to let go, nor did he expect that Director Qian would wake up at this time. As a director, you should open your eyes and look up when you wake up. He was right above him, and he could see him as soon as he opened his eyes. He didn't know what he was shouting, but fortunately, it was not Mayor Liu who fell down.
"It hurts, Old Zhu, my leg hurts so much, I feel like my leg is broken." Hearing Commander Zhu's voice, Director Qian's frightened heart relaxed a little, but when he wanted to lift his leg, he found that he could not feel anything except pain, and he had no feeling in his left leg at all.
After hearing what Director Qian said, Commander Zhu didn't care about his injured arm and immediately went down the rope to check on his condition.
Two minutes later, it was confirmed that Director Qian had really injured his leg, and Commander Zhu did not dare to move him anymore.
"Well, you stay here and watch over Lao Liu, I'll go up and find someone to rescue you." Both of them were injured, and he really couldn't guarantee that he could be there alone now. He couldn't bring them back with a situation where they were injured a second time. The best way was to go back and find someone. He would have gone back to find someone earlier. What was he doing just now?
"Okay then, go back and find someone first, we'll wait for you here."
Seeing that Director Qian was in good spirits, Commander Zhu felt relieved and started to climb up by grabbing the rope. However, as soon as he jumped and exerted force with his arms, he felt a piercing pain that spread throughout his body.
"Hiss..." He immediately let go of the rope in his hand because of the pain. In the light from the pit, he rolled up his sleeve with his other hand to check his injury.
"What's wrong? Is your arm injured?" Seeing his friend's actions, Director Qian, who was sitting on the ground, was also very worried. He grabbed his leg and wanted to stand up to check his injury.
"Sit down." Commander Zhu now needed to know where he was injured first, so he had no time to take care of him. He was afraid that if he lost his balance, he would get injured again, which would be troublesome.
After rolling up his sleeves, he looked at the red marks on his arm and touched the place where he felt the pain just now.
Then Commander Zhu calmly sat down next to Director Qian.
"Okay, wait, we can't get out now."
"Where are you hurt?" Seeing Commander Zhu sitting down, Director Qian pulled up his arm to check. However, when he pulled, Commander Zhu was hurt.
"Ah...hiss...be gentle."
“Oh oh oh…” Seeing him like this, Director Qian was frightened and immediately let go of his hand.
"As expected, it's a broken bone. Never mind. Let's wait and see if they remember us when they come back after dark."
There's nothing we can do. They are busy during the day and no one will remember them. We can only wait and see if they will find they are missing when they return home at night.
What they didn't expect was that they had to wait until dark the next day.
Mayor Liu also woke up in the middle of the process.
Huo Haocheng and his men carefully searched along the roadside.
"mayor...."
“Director…”
"commander....."
Along the way, they kept shining flashlights and shouting, but they still couldn't find the three of them.
"Captain, come and see if there are any traces of anything that has not been moved here?" Deng Yi, who was a scout, shouted to Huo Haocheng and the others while looking at the traces under his feet.
Afterwards, they followed the traces and saw a rope tied to a tree stump a little below the road.
"Come on, let's all shine the flashlights down. Gu Jinghe, come with me and take a look." Seeing that he had found the clue, Huo Haocheng put the flashlight in his mouth, and then let the other flashlights shine downwards together. If they came down, they would definitely see the light, and it would give them a signal.
Huo Haocheng and Gu Jinghe slowly climbed down the rope and came to the edge of the pit.
Huo Haocheng took the flashlight from his mouth and shone it downwards. "Commander Zhu, Mayor Liu, are you guys down there?"
"Commander, Mayor?" Gu Jinghe also shouted down twice.
The three people who had fallen asleep due to hunger seemed to hear someone calling them in a daze, but they thought they were hallucinating.
"Commander Zhu, Mayor Liu, Director Qian, are you coming down? Please respond if you hear me." Huo Haocheng shouted towards the bottom of the pit.
By seeing the rope hanging from the wood at the mouth of the pit, they could tell that they were most likely coming down.
But they couldn't be sure how serious their injuries were. If they were serious, Huo Haocheng and Gu Jinghe alone would not be able to bring them up, and they would need to call people down.
This time Commander Zhu really heard Huo Haocheng's voice. After confirming that it was not an illusion, he immediately woke up the two people beside him and said, "Wake up, wake up, Captain Huo is here to find us." Then, he shouted to Huo Haocheng above, "Captain Huo, we are down there."
"Commander Zhu, are you seriously injured?" Hearing Commander Zhu's voice, Huo Haocheng felt that he was not seriously injured. In that case, the rope above should have been left by him.
But Huo Haocheng couldn't understand why Commander Zhu didn't go back to find people immediately after the accident, but chose to come down alone.
"Lao Liu hurt his head, Lao Qian hurt his legs, and I hurt my arm."
"Okay, then wait a moment, I'll call someone down."
After knowing that they were all injured to varying degrees, Huo Haocheng asked Gu Jinghe to watch here first. He went up to call people down, and then asked someone to run back to get a stretcher.
Afterwards, with everyone's concerted efforts, the three people were pulled up.
After returning to the shelter, Ruanruan examined Mayor Liu's head, Doctor Jiang examined Commander Zhu's arm, and Su Yunqing examined Director Qian's leg.
Mayor Liu had a head injury and had to get several stitches. Commander Zhu also had to apply medicine in time to stop the bleeding, so his injury looked serious.
Commander Zhu was injured, just as he had judged, with a fractured bone and a strained muscle. Doctor Jiang took two pieces of wood and fixed it slightly. He won't have to use his right hand for the next few days. The most seriously injured was Director Qian, whose leg was broken, and they still needed to perform surgery on him to take out the broken bones and then fix them again.
Even so, his legs still hurt in rainy weather.
Ruanruan and the others had never expected that the first surgery they would perform after the earthquake would be on Director Qian.
While waiting for the operation, Huo Haocheng looked at Commander Zhu lying on the hospital bed again and again, and finally decided to go back and rest.
