Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 776: Yu Buried
Luckily, Lu Jing was always extremely fast at bandaging patients, and had just finished tying a knot when a rumbling noise erupted beside his ear.
The experienced village uncle felt an ominous premonition:
"A landslide is happening above us, quick, let’s go over there, there’s something to block it."
Lu Jing and Dr. Yu lacked experience in this area, but they were obedient.
At the village uncle’s shout, the two immediately sprang into action, dragging the immobile village chief into a corner to hide.
’Thud...thud...’
They had barely moved when rocks started falling, bringing with them heaps of sand and soil, nearly filling up the depression.
At the most critical moment, Dr. Yu protected Lu Jing with his body, resulting in his legs from the feet to the knees being completely buried under sand and soil.
"Umm..." he couldn’t help but groan.
Lu Jing immediately called out,
"Yu?" His tone was urgent.
About two seconds later, Dr. Yu replied,
"It’s okay, don’t worry about me."
Really okay?
Both his legs were buried in sand; that couldn’t be okay.
Lu Jing wasn’t foolish; from Yu’s muffled groan, he could tell: he was definitely injured, and seriously so.
The activity on the mountain had already diminished significantly, so Lu Jing moved his body.
Instantly, he heard Yu:
"Hiss."
"What’s wrong? Where exactly are you hurt? Come on, kid, tell me!"
Not knowing the specific location of the injury, Lu Jing dared not move recklessly again.
"Leg."
Hearing it was the leg, Lu Jing moved again, extremely cautious this time, his movements minimal, as if grinding his way out slowly.
After getting out, he took a deep breath.
Then he picked up a flashlight that he found nearby in the dark, thankfully it wasn’t broken.
Turning it on, he was frightened by what he saw.
"Yu..."
There was no time to think further, he crouched down and began to dig.
Yes, with his hands.
Do you know how valuable these hands usually were?
But now, he couldn’t consider that; after all, saving lives was the priority.
The village uncle extricated himself from the sand and soil and came over to help.
"Dr. Yu, hang in there, it will be over soon."
The two men dug together, and it didn’t take long to make a big hole.
Lu Jing felt guilty in his heart; Dr. Yu wouldn’t have been buried by sand if he hadn’t protected him.
But, putting himself in his place, he surely would have done the same.
There was almost no sound on the mountain by now, and even the chirping of insects and birds was absent.
This situation could only mean that danger still lurked.
Finally, Dr. Yu’s feet were revealed, but they were battered and bloody.
So much sand had filled in, nearly half of the depression was covered.
Crushed by the weight, the blood oozed out.
All one could pray for now was that the bones were not affected.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult for everyone.
A village chief with a broken lumbar, immobile, along with Yu, and Lu Jing herself was pregnant, leaving only the village uncle unscathed.
Dragging three people, it was indeed very challenging!
The two managed to pull the person out of the hole together.
The depression being filled halfway turned out to be beneficial; it made dragging the person out less difficult, a strong pull was enough.
Once Yu was pulled up, Lu Jing immediately checked on him.
"Yu, move your legs."
"Okay."
Despite the pain, Yu tried his best to move them as Lu Jing had asked.
"Thank goodness, the bones are fine, I’ll start by cleaning and disinfecting."
