Medical Master

Chapter 1485 The Highly-skilled Doctor Was Buried!

“Whoosh…”

Streams of rainwater and red mud from the mountaintop converged into torrents, rushing down like water unleashed from a large water dam. As destructive as a raging river, they collapsed the old man’s wooden house and came at Fang Qiu with great momentum.

“Damn!”

Fang Qiu was shocked.

He could protect himself from this mighty current. Even if it hit his shins with all its might, he would never let his feet move even an inch.

However, the surging torrents were coming from above down. If Fang Qiu didn’t dodge, he could hold on, but the old man on his back couldn’t withstand the enormous impact.

The elder had just recovered. If the flood lashed against him, wouldn’t it cause a big problem?

Fang Qiu moved his feet.

He instantly ran to the side.

He ran to hide behind a big tree three meters away.

“Clatter…”

The mountain torrent flowed down before Fang Qiu.

Just then…

The few people ran over from the distance and looked down the mountain.

There, they saw the extensive water flow and torrents rushing fast down from the mountain. Their faces turned ghastly pale.

“It’s over. We’re trapped on the mountain.”

“What should we do now?”

“We can’t cross such a big river. Now it’s raining so heavily, and the mountain torrent will only grow bigger and bigger. Where can we hide then?”

Fear appeared on their faces.

They watched fast currents at the foot of the mountain.

But no one was courageous enough to go down there.

For ordinary people, crossing such fast currents was committing suicide.

“Old man, have a rest here first. I’ll find a way to help you cross the river.”

Fang Qiu put the old man down.

Then he turned to look at the anxious people next to him and asked, “I’m a member of the Huaxia rescue team. Are you from the village on the mountain?”

“Yes.”

Although Fang Qiu spoke in Anglanish, everyone here could understand him.

After all, Anglanish was also one of the official languages of Phlippeanes.

“Is there anyone else on the mountain?”

Fang Qiu asked.

“No.”

The few people immediately shook their heads and said, “The others have been picked up, and we’re the only ones left.”

“Help me take care of this elder. I’ll think of a way to take you back to the rescue station.”

Fang Qiu nodded after learning about the situation.

Then he looked around.

Soon…

His eyes fell on the river at the foot of the mountain — a wooden board was floating there. It was a piece of the old man’s wooden house. The wooden plank was not small and looked complete. It should be able to support these people.

“Let’s go down the mountain.”

Fang Qiu quickly carried the old man on his back and ran down the mountain.

The others followed him.

Running to the foot of the mountain, Fang Qiu put the elder on the ground. He immediately rushed into the river after telling those people to take care of the old man.

At this time, the river had pushed the wooden board downstream. If he was a little later, he could not catch it.

Fang Qiu secretly used his internal Qi.

He quickly approached the wooden board floating on the water, grabbed it, and turned back.

“Get on the plank. I’ll push you across the river.”

Upon arriving at the shore, Fang Qiu said, “Don’t worry. This wooden board can support your weight.”

But…

This group of people did not dare to get on it.

They were scared.

“What if this wooden board flips over in the river?”

“Come on!”

The old man was the first to come out. He walked to the wooden board and sat down, saying, “Hurry up, all of you. It’ll be too late when the mountain torrent erupts later.”

Hearing this, these people all looked back at the mountain.

Sudden floods seemed to be unleashed from several other directions. Their hearts immediately tightened. They no longer dared to hesitate and stepped onto the wooden plank.

When Fang Qiu entered the water…

He gathered his internal Qi under his feet to reduce the impact of the current on him. Meanwhile, he grasped the wooden board firmly and walked toward the other side of the river.

The water submerged his waist just after he took a few steps, and the water level kept rising.

Fang Qiu waded into the water and pushed the plank. Seeing this, several people on the wooden board were particularly nervous.

They were afraid that the water would accidentally wash Fang Qiu away.

In the meantime…

Of one accord, several people reached out their hands and grabbed the clothes on Fang Qiu’s shoulders. In this way, they could deal with unexpected accidents. If Fang Qiu suddenly lost all his strength, they could guarantee the water wouldn’t take him away.

“Young man from Huaxia, be careful. Do be careful.”

The old man looked at Fang Qiu and said.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take you to a safe place.”

Fang Qiu sped up as he spoke.

The heavy rain fell incessantly.

They had to deal with more things than the mountain torrents. This river was connected to the coastline. Once huge waves came from the coastline, the water level of this river would inevitably rise sharply.

So, he had to quicken the pace.

With internal Qi, Fang Qiu stabilized his lower body and the wooden board. He quickly pushed it forward.

Soon after…

They finally arrived at the center of the river.

The water flow in the middle of the river had reached Fang Qiu’s chest.

The people on the wooden board panicked when the surging river flows dashed against Fang Qiu.

Fortunately…

Fang Qiu was fast enough.

Before long, he rushed out from the deepest part of the river, pushing the wooden board to the riverbank.

“Oh, great! We’re safe, finally.”

The people on the wooden board quickly pulled Fang Qiu up from the river. Then, one by one, they came up to shake Fang Qiu’s hands and kept expressing their gratitude to him.

“Everyone, follow me. I’ll take you back to the rescue station.”

Without hesitation, Fang Qiu carried the old man on his back again.

Then…

He ran all the way to the rescue station.

The others followed closely behind.

They ran about 1,500 to 2,000 meters in more than 10 minutes. Finally, they arrived at the rescue station.

The local official Garro saw Fang Qiu returning with a few people.

He darted out with some people and helped Fang Qiu take these refugees in.

“Phew…”

After others took over the few people, Fang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

“Where are the highly-skilled doctors?”

Fang Qiu glanced around the rescue station but didn’t see the three highly-skilled doctors there.

“They went out for emergency treatment.”

With a frown, Garro added, “They heard people in a few villagers there couldn’t get down from the mountain. Besides, many of them were seriously ill. So, they went there by a rescue vehicle.”

Fang Qiu glanced in the direction that Garro was pointing at.

He found that…

It was opposite to the way he had gone just now.

“There is not something like a river, right?”

Fang Qiu hurriedly asked.

“No.”

Garro immediately shook his head and said, “There are only some ditches for drainage. The few mountains over there are all on the coastline. They can block out the sea waves .”

“That’s good.”

Though still a little worried, Fang Qiu nodded with understanding.

After all…

The three highly-skilled doctors were all old.

Moreover…

The rainstorm lasted for several days. Mountain torrents broke out in the surrounding mountains. Fang Qiu hoped the mountain torrents would go to the sea after they broke out. Otherwise, these doctors would be in danger.

“Are there people from the rescue team?”

Fang Qiu asked one more question.

“Sure.”

Garro nodded and said, “Two people from the rescue team and three old Chinese Medicine doctors went there. They took a few people because the space of the rescue vehicle was limited. If too many people went there, there would not have enough room for more refugees.”

Fang Qiu turned to look in the direction the three highly-skilled doctors had taken.

Then…

“Beep, beep, beep…” This chapter is updated by N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net - novelenglish.net . bin

The hasty phone ringing suddenly sounded in Garro’s office.

When Fang Qiu heard the phone ring…

He couldn’t help frowning.

Garro hastened to run into the office and answer the phone.

“Hello?”

He picked up the phone.

“Help! We need help! The rain is too heavy. The mountain torrent erupted, and many houses collapsed. Many people have been buried.”

A panicked cry for help came from the other end of the line.

“What?”

Upon hearing that, Garro immediately panicked.

“The mountain collapsed and buried many people. When the three elders from Huaxia helped dig out the people, landslides also buried them. We need help. Help!”

The person on the phone repeatedly asked them for help.

“I’ll contact people in Manilla and ask them to send a transport helicopter to rescue you.”

Garro said with a pale face and quickly hung up the phone.

“What happened?”

Garro became so anxious that his face turned deathly pale. Seeing that, Fang Qiu had a bad feeling and hurriedly ran over to ask.

“A landslide. The mountain collapsed and buried them.”

Garro said in a panic.

“What?”

Fang Qiu’s eyes popped with terror.

“The three highly-skilled doctors?

“Where are they? Take me there right now. I’m going to save them.”

Fang Qiu was so anxious that his eyes turned red in an instant.

“How can you save them alone? Don’t worry. I’ll make a call and get a transport helicopter to help.”

As he spoke, Garro hurried to make a call.

“When the rescue team arrives, they will all be dead.”

Fang Qiu anxiously knocked Garro’s phone away and said, “Take me there immediately. I can get them out.”

Garro saw that Fang Qiu nearly went crazy with anxiety.

He didn’t dare hesitate any longer.

In a hurry, he sent a rescue vehicle driver to drive Fang Qiu there.

He knew that the matter was urgent.

The driver didn’t dare to delay and drove fast all the way.

Before long, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

“They are over there.”

Large piles of red soil were at the foot of the mountain. After the landslide, torrents washed the soil down the mountain. The driver’s face changed as he asked, “Can we go up?”

“Whoosh.”

Without answering the driver, Fang Qiu zipped up the mountain when knowing their location. He moved forward at full speed.

On the way…

Fang Qiu saw the torrents everywhere on the mountain. Many large chunks of red soil were rushed down from the mountain.

Obviously…

The soil and stones wouldn’t have been washed down here if not for the landslide.

He ran wildly all the way.

After running for two minutes, Fang Qiu finally arrived at the place where the mountain collapsed.

It was a completely hollowed-out area.

It looked like…

It used to be a semicircle area. All people of one village must have lived there.

Right now…

The whole area of the mountain had caved in.

It seemed that sea waves had shattered the mountain foot.

In the distance…

Fang Qiu saw a rescue worker digging with his bare hands. His face was full of fear and tears.

“Where are they? Where were they buried?”

Rushing to him, Fang Qiu hurriedly asked.

“Here. Right here.”

The rescue worker pointed to the pile of soil before him and said, “Down there. They are all down there.”

Before them…

There was a pile of yellow soil as large as a small hill. At the sight of it, Fang Qiu nearly went mad.

His hands moved.

He directly activated his internal Qi and began to dig wildly.
