Chapter 1169: Letter to Siyuan
More shells fell, one after another, and the ground shook violently. The simple tent was overturned by the huge heat wave and some of the wounded in the tent were directly killed by the shells that fell nearby. Ning Shu looked up at the wounded who were killed. These were all people she had spent a lot of effort to save. In the end, with one bomb, all her efforts ended up being in vain.
The aircraft circled for a while, then flew off with a roar.
Although air bombs weren’t very accurate, it was able to damage buildings and targets. Furthermore, the thermal radiation and other radiation that was emitted were also damaging to the human body.
Ning Shu shook her head. She could feel her ears buzzing and couldn’t really hear what people around her were saying very clearly. This symptom would persist for a while.
The tent was broken and many of the wounded had gotten even more injured.
Tang Zheng came with a group of soldiers to check the situation. When he saw Ning Shu, he asked, “Doctor Zhu, are you alright?”
Ning Shu couldn’t really hear him, so she dug at her ears as she said, “Some of the wounded are already stable so you should send them back. It’s too dangerous here.”
“Alright. The commander is looking for you. It’s about time to change his bandages,” said Tang Zheng to Ning Shu loudly.
Ning Shu could just barely hear. She signaled that she got it and that she was going to deal with the wounds of the people that had been injured by the bomb first.
“Fang Feifei, Feifei!” Zhu Yanqiu hurriedly ran over. When he found that Fang Feifei sitting on the ground, he hurriedly helped her up and asked, “Feifei, are you ok?”
Fang Feifei was a little stunned. When she saw Zhu Yanqiu, her eyes reddened. She couldn’t help but hug Zhu Yanqiu and start crying. Zhu Yanqiu comforted her, saying, “It’s ok, it’s ok.”
Tang Zheng was commanding the soldiers to carry the wounded away and prepare to send them back. Ning Shu’s eyes whirled, then she asked, “Are you guys going back to Shanghai? I want to write a letter, can you help me deliver it?”
Tang Zheng nodded. “Sure.”
Ning Shu quickly finished her current work, then it got a little awkward. She didn’t have writing paper or a pen. Tang Zheng gave Ning Shu a pen and got paper from the guard nearby.
“Thank you, Officer Tang.” Ning Shu took the paper, wiped the dust off the wooden board, set the paper on the board, then started thinking about how to write to Zhu Siyuan.
Eventually, she decided to just explain her work in the letter. She said that she was very busy and saved a lot of people. She wrote about the suffering that these soldiers faced and that they were all protecting their families and their country. Finally, she told Zhu Siyuan not to worry about her.
Once she finished writing this letter, she suddenly fell as though everything had been a lifetime ago. After coming to the front line, she worked on saving people all day long. She’d start treating people the moment she woke up. There was no sense of time. She didn’t even know what day, what month it was now, and she also didn’t know how Zhu Siyuan was doing.
After giving the letter to Tang Zheng, Ning Shu said, “I’ll have to trouble you, Officer Tang.”
After Tang Zheng put the letter away, Ning Shu asked, “The application for medical resources still hasn’t gone through yet? I won’t be able to hold out for much longer. Why don’t you get me some traditional Chinese medicine? I’ll make the medicine myself. “
There was no powder left in Ning Shu’s medicine chest. If It weren’t for the hemostasis powder, a portion of the wounded would’ve directly died due to excessive blood loss before they even had a chance to be treated. In this age when blood transfusion wasn’t possible and the conditions for blood transfusion weren’t fulfilled, if the bleeding couldn’t be stopped, there was nothing to do but wait for death.
Ning Shu didn’t wait for Tang Zheng’s answer and directly grabbed paper from the guard’s hand to write down the names of the traditional Chinese medicinal ingredients. She said, “These are the ingredients I need. This powder can staunch bleeding. There’s no medicine right now so I won’t be able to save anyone.”
Tang Zheng had no choice but to nod. He had Ning Shu go change the commander’s bandages, then he headed off to work.
“Zhu Suniang, you sure have ability. You even hooked up with a higher up? How did I never notice before that you had this ability?” When Zhu Yanqiu saw Ning Shu talking to Tang Zheng, his heart started burning. He was still just a nameless subordinate, but Zhu Suniang could actually talk to Tang Zheng.
#comment: Actually, Siyuan’s name can be roughly translated as ‘longing’ ‘far’.
