739 Getting Help to Save Lives
The reason why he was still breathing now was because the tree trunk was still pressing down on him and stopping the blood from flowing out. If the tree on Qiao Fu’s body was removed, then Qiao Fu would be dead soon.
“Grandfather, he simply fainted from the pain. He’s not dead,” Qiao Mei said impatiently. She felt disgusted just by looking at Qiao Fu.
Qiao Qiang turned around and looked at the big tree carefully. This tree definitely had not been chopped and the middle of the tree was also not hollowed out. Why did it suddenly break?
During this period of time, there was neither wind nor rain nor bad weather. Could it be that there were some spirits on this mountain?!!
Or was it his deceased relatives protecting him? Was it Qiao Mei’s father or Qiao Mei’s grandmother?
No matter what, he had managed to survive. At this moment, they had to quickly go down the mountain to find someone to save Qiao Fu. He could not let the man die in the back mountain. If the man died, both of them would not be able to explain themselves clearly.
“Mei Mei, let’s go down quickly and find someone to save him.” Qiao Qiang waved at Qiao Mei and the two of them, one elderly and one pregnant, helped each other down the mountain.
Usually, at this time, Qiao Mei would have already asked Zhang Wei to go home to do his homework. However, it was almost dark today and nothing happened. Zhang Wei became suspicious and walked down Qiao Mei’s usual path to go up the mountain. As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he met both of them.
“Grandfather! Elder sister! What happened to you! Grandfather, why is your face covered in blood!” Zhang Wei was so frightened to see Qiao Qiang in this state that his legs went weak.
Back then, it was the same thing with Zhang Miao. She almost could not be saved. He was afraid that Qiao Qiang would fall sick like Zhang Miao.
“Grandfather is fine. Xiao Wei, go and look for Zhao Liang now and ask him to quickly bring people up the mountain to save someone. Tell him that Qiao Zhuang’s eldest son has been pinned down by a tree and needs to be saved,” Qiao Qiang said as he pointed up the mountain.
“Hey, hey! Then what about you, grandfather!” Zhang Wei looked at Qiao Qiang nervously. He was more concerned about Qiao Qiang’s health than saving someone else’s life.
“Grandfather has me. Go and look for Uncle Zhao quickly. We’ll wait for you here,” Qiao Mei said.
Zhang Wei knew that he would not be of much help if he stayed around, so he quickly followed Qiao Mei’s instructions and went home to ride his bicycle to the village office to look for Zhao Liang.
Qiao Mei helped Qiao Qiang to sit down by the roadside. At the moment, they could not leave yet. They had to wait for Zhao Liang to bring people over so that they could let Zhao Liang know Qiao Fu’s approximate location. Otherwise, they would waste a lot of time looking around.
Very quickly, Zhao Liang brought a group of people to the foot of the mountain. Many people came with tools, including chainsaws and door panels that could serve as stretchers.
Their village was surrounded by mountains on all sides. Every year, there would be people who rolled down the mountains and got injured, but this was the first time they had heard of someone behind pinned down by a big tree.
“Uncle Qiao! What happened to you!” Zhao Liang looked at Qiao Qiang in shock.
Everyone panicked when they saw Qiao Qiang. How could the battle-hardened Qiao Qiang be so seriously injured? Could it be that he had encountered wolves, tigers or leopards on the mountain?
The mountains had been around for a long time, and it was very common to see wolves in the depths of the mountains. It was said that someone had even seen wolf carcasses before, but no one knew if it was true or not. As the rumors spread, everyone believed that there were wild beasts in the mountains.
“I’m fine. Quickly go and save Qiao Fu. He’s being pinned down by a very big tree. Hurry up and save him.” After saying that, Qiao Qiang wanted to get up and go with the rest of the team. It would be faster for him to lead the way.
Zhao Liang hurriedly got a few people behind him to bring Qiao Qiang to the clinic at the entrance of the village. He still wanted to go up the mountain to save someone else when his own face was covered in blood. He was indeed an old hero who cared about the common people.
“You should hurry to the clinic. We’ve all lived around the mountains for so long and know the general location. Go quickly,” Zhao Liang said worriedly.
“That’s right, Uncle Qiao Qiang. Your injuries are so serious and you still want to go and save someone else. You should take care of yourself first!” Wang Wu said as he looked at Qiao Qiang nervously.
“Why not I go with all of you,” Qiao Mei volunteered.
Of course she did not want to save Qiao Fu! She was just worried that Qiao Qiang would insist on going up the mountain himself. It would be better for her to go in place of Qiao Qiang.
Everyone was very touched. Qiao Qiang and Qiao Mei still wanted to go and save someone else even though they were injured. They were both such nice people. Given that Qiao Zhuang’s family often bullied the two of them, the villagers did not expect that not only did they not bear a grudge, they even wanted to save a member of that family.
“You don’t have to go either. Accompany your grandfather to the clinic. We’ll go and save him,” Zhao Liang said.
