Although everyone could no longer feel the earthquake, they dared not move, afraid another one would occur. They stood still, felt the earthquake had fully subsided, and finally rushed to the surrounding villages to help.
Those who had returned to their houses to sleep before the earthquake got trapped under their collapsed houses. People could only work together to pull these victims out.
Some victims had gotten crushed to death by beams, while others were fortunate enough to have only suffered minor injuries. Meanwhile, Tenghe Town was slightly better off as everyone believed Su Binglan’s words and prepared themselves for the impending catastrophe.
Only a few people doubted the news and returned to their houses. That was how they got crushed under their collapsed houses.
There were also casualties in the other towns in the county, mainly because its people did not know about Su Binglan. They only knew about the Su family and that the county magistrate had issued a warning.
Everyone was initially nervous, but there were no signs of an earthquake two days ago, so they thought it was fake news and returned to their homes.
Ultimately, these people did not expect the earthquake actually to occur.
Meng Ce had brought his family to live in their courtyard. When they felt the earthquake and came out of their tent, they were shocked by what they saw before them.
He said in a daze, “An earthquake really happened.”
Old Madam Feng was also shocked and found it unbelievable.
‘So, what Miss Su said was true.’
She believed in Su Binglan, but believing was one thing, and experiencing the earthquake was another.
“Our safety is all thanks to Miss Su this time. Otherwise, who would know what could’ve happened to the entire county?” Old Madam Feng said.
Meng Ce returned to his senses and added, “Although the houses collapsed, the people are fine. It’s good that they’re alright.”
He heaved a sigh of relief but still felt a lingering fear. He had experienced many things as a county magistrate but never dealt with an earthquake and was terrified.
He felt suspicious when he heard his mother talking about the earthquake. He thought it would be fake news since no one could predict an earthquake. Still, he knew his mother made sense.
The county would have had countless casualties if no one had prepared themselves. It meant Meng Ce had done an excellent job as the county magistrate. Moreover, these few years were critical to evaluate his political achievements, so he had to be careful in making decisions.
Therefore, Meng Ce listened to his mother and informed everyone to prepare for the earthquake. His doubts and suspicions grew when there were no signs of an earthquake two days ago, making him uneasy.
After all, he might lose prestige as a county magistrate if an earthquake did not happen. He never expected the earthquake to happen on the last day.
The ground shook several times, but there was only a minor earthquake in town. There were only a few issues in that case, and Meng Ce felt relieved. “That was truly terrifying.”
His son had started crying, and he was frightened. Not only were the children afraid, but even the adults were shocked. Meng Ce was highly grateful to Su Binglan.
If not for her, he would not have known about the earthquake and informed the people in advance, significantly reducing casualties.
Old Madam Feng said fearfully, experienced an earthquake before, and the number of casualties was uncountable. People got displaced, and a plague spread, causing a horrifying scene.”
Meng Ce l s face turned pale. “Mother, our safety is all thanks to Miss Su. She not only saved Binbin’s life but many others too.”
Old Madam Feng added, “We must remember her kindness, no matter what.” “l understand, Mother. I will never forget this.” Meng Ce nodded vigorously.
He also knew how capable Su Binglan was now. He knew he should befriend such a person. He would not dare to imagine what would have happened to the county without her.
He returned to his senses and quickly arranged for people to settle everyone down. He also prepared doctors to help the severely injured to prevent a plague from happening.
Meng Ce immediately took action, putting the entire county in order.
Many people went to beg Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu to help. Some were fortunate enough to be alive and had only suffered external injuries.
The two siblings were from the same village and could not leave the injured in the lurch. However, only Su was home when everyone went to the Su family’s house to seek help.
Su Wenxiu recalled his sister instructing him to bring their apprentices to help the injured with first aid. They had ten apprentices, consisting of five boys and girls. They took their medicine boxes and followed Su Wenxiu to the emergency room.
It was their first time doing house calls after learning and experimenting with surgery on small animals from Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu.
Although it was the apprentices’ first time helping, they did an excellent job providing first aid to the injured due to their solid foundation. Their techniques were stable when reattaching broken bones, too.
The apprentices were skilled in treating external wounds. Initially nervous, they later became more confident and comfortable treating their patients. Since many people needed treatment, the apprentices dared not stop and hurriedly helped as many as possible.
Li Erying, Li Wei, and Yang Man remained calm as they helped the injured. Everyone was shocked by how these three young ladies dealt with the wounded.
Those who had gossiped about the trio in the past now observed their techniques and watched the trio save lives. The naysayers were full of genuine respect for the girls who studied under Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu.
The naysayers’ eyes no longer seemed full of discrimination. Instead, they were full of admiration because these girls could now save many lives in just a short time. They could even mend broken bones and suture wounds.
“Miss, thank you.”
Those who had survived the disaster looked at the five girls with gratitude. They meant it whenever they offered their thanks.
Meanwhile, Lin Shu and the other boys also helped with the wounded. Everyone was skilled in dealing with external injuries, moving swiftly from one injured villager to another. After all, some would die from excessive blood loss if saved too late. Therefore, the apprentices had to speed up.
Li Erying teared up when everyone thanked her sincerely and looked at her with respect. At that moment, she felt she had made the right choice when she quit as an embroiderer to study medicine.
She knew all her hard work was worth it and had an indescribable feeling in her heart. She also felt she had lived her life to the fullest and that her actions were more meaningful.
Everyone could not help but talk as they watched the apprentices, especially the girls, save people.
“That’s Old Madam Li’s granddaughter from Su Teng Village. She’s still young, but I didn’t expect her to be so capable.”
“l should’ve sent my granddaughter to study medicine back then. She could’ve been a doctor and saved lives like Li Erying.”
“That’s right. Old Madam Li must feel so proud now. Her grandchildren are promising young people.”
“Isn’t that Li Mei’s sister? She has saved quite a few people already..”
