Chapter 195: Chapter 195 Desperately Searching for You

Not a single breeze by the ear, the thick air filled with flying dust, rescue workers bustling to and fro, footsteps hurried, the noisy voices contain a girl’s voice, Shen Liguang’s body stiffens sharply.

"Can you hold this for me for a moment?"

Shen Liguang hastily stuffs things into the hands of someone beside him and limps towards the crowd.

Behind him, someone shouts: "Your leg isn’t healed yet, where are you going?" There’s no response.

Fu Ying’s heart is about to jump out of her throat, but as that person turns around, she looks bewilderedly at her: "You, you’re looking for me?"

"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

This person’s back resembles his, but it isn’t him.

Fu Ying grips her backpack strap tightly, turning back to the vehicle.

Following the voice, Shen Liguang searches through the coming and going crowd; they mingle inside, one heading into the crowd, another walking away from it.

A fog appears before her eyes, things blur, Fu Ying lowers her face, blinks, and tears fall.

"That little girl just now was so baffling, she must be a victim of the earthquake, right? Couldn’t find her relatives, looking too pitiful."

"I guess her brother also perished in the earthquake, otherwise she wouldn’t have cried out for her brother just now."

The two pass by Shen Liguang, their conversation reaching his ears.

He stops in his tracks, turns back, and grabs those two people.

"Where did that girl go just now?"

.

Many people are waiting for her on the vehicle, Fu Ying, worried about delaying everyone, hurries back only to discover the vehicle has already left.

After asking, she learns that an elderly person with a special condition boarded the vehicle, needing urgent medical care at a well-equipped hospital, pressed for time, the vehicle left first.

Fu Ying plans to return to the place where she had been staying to wait and see if anyone leaves; then she can follow them. As for the school, she can only go back and explain the situation.

She walks forward with her head covered, fearing people might see her reddened eyes—crying at this time, it’s too distressful.

She returns to the original shelter she was staying at where nurses are bandaging the wounded.

The wounded are numerous, categorized by severity, wrists all tied with colored bands; those here are all minor injuries, a few nurses busily clamoring, looking for gauze.

Fu Ying hands it over.

The nurse takes the gauze, asking her, "Hey, why didn’t you leave?"

Fu Ying rubs her eyes, shakes her head: "I didn’t catch the vehicle."

"Aren’t you supposed to be starting school soon?"

"Yes, but there’s nothing I can do right now; we’ll talk about it later, there will be other vehicles."

The nurse nods, after bandaging the wounded, stretches out with a yawn: "Looks like you’ll be helping us for another two days, I’m exhausted."

Fu Ying nods: "What I can do, that’s all I have."

Outside, a bout of crying, a nurse with several children comes in and sees Fu Ying, thinking she looks like the girl-next-door, surely liked by children.

A face seeking rescue: "Fu Ying, you haven’t left? Come help, these kids are crying badly, insisting on finding their mom, and I still have to attend to other wounded, you help watch them."

"Okay." Fu Ying responds, standing up to help.

The three children are all young, five or six years old, their faces dirty, crying loudly.

These past few days, what Fu Ying heard most was the crying of children.

Too many dispersed from their parents, crying for their mom and dad.

Fu Ying has no experience with children, at a loss.

"Um, what are your names?"

The children only cry, ignoring her.

Fu Ying has been bustling around since morning until noon, the kids finally stop crying, probably tired from crying, slumping in the simple tents to sleep.

Fu Ying tiptoes away from the tent.

After the earthquake, the sun rises as usual, shining on the ruins, scorching hot, adding difficulties to the rescue efforts.

Shen Liguang follows the direction pointed out by that person, seeing countless figures like hers, but none are her.

Maybe he was hallucinating. How could she possibly be here?

Tomorrow is the start of school, she should be getting ready to go to school.

"Li, Li Guang?"

Shen Liguang turned around, unexpectedly seeing Zhao Zhi.

He was wearing rubber gloves, with blood on them, and behind him was a makeshift surgery area.

The red wristband victims here are more serious.

"It’s really great that you’re fine," Zhao Zhi said, looking at him, overwhelmingly excited, bumping his shoulder, "I damn near... thought you went ahead."

Shen Liguang glanced at his leg and smiled, "Almost, but I was rescued."

"You seem so nonchalant, your delicate wife has been frantically searching for you."

Shen Liguang paused, "She, she’s here?"

"Just three or four days ago, she has been helping around here while asking for any news about you among the victims," Zhao Zhi sighed, "Honestly, she’s quite calm; she can’t find you, and although it’s obvious she’s also anxious, she didn’t cry or make a fuss, pretending to be fine and helping everywhere. Seeing her petite figure, I really want to give her a hug."

"Where is she?"

"She should be at the area for minor injuries. Find her based on the wristbands, where you see a lot of people with green wristbands, you’ll find her."

Zhao Zhi wasn’t sure if he had made himself clear, as the man was already hobbling away.

The steps were particularly difficult, and it looked so distressing.

Zhao Zhi shook his head, tore off his rubber gloves, and prepared for the next surgery.

...

The sun sets after the disaster, and the sunset is particularly beautiful, but no one has the heart to appreciate it.

Fu Ying squatted down, gently hugging another little girl.

"Looking for mommy? Where’s your mom?"

The child didn’t speak, just pointed into the distance.

"Then I’ll take you there." Fu Ying stood up, leading her towards the yellow zone.

Shen Liguang reached the green zone as Fu Ying arrived at the yellow zone.

"Excuse me, is there a girl named Fu Ying here?"

The nurse looked at Shen Liguang, paused, then nodded, "Yes, but she’s not here right now."

Shen Liguang’s hopes fell through, gradually calming down: "Will she come back here?"

The nurse shook her head, "Not necessarily, she’s been helping in three areas these days, but she won’t go far, just around these three areas."

"Where did she go now?"

"The moderate injuries area, just a minute before you arrived, she took a girl to find her mother."

Fu Ying, assisting a severely injured person, found Zhao Zhi.

These days, she walked to all three areas, helping wherever she could.

What she could do, and what she was capable of wasn’t much, but she could handle some small tasks.

Fu Ying finally had to learn to stand on her own feet so that he could focus on saving people and fighting fires without worrying about her.

Fu Ying took his phone out of her pocket, stared at the words "Divorce Agreement" with a sharp pain in her heart, and deleted the memo.

As long as the body isn’t found, there’s still hope.

These days, she’s also learned to numb herself; as long as she goes to crowded places and keeps herself busy, she won’t overthink.

"Doctor, doctor, save my child."

Fu Ying looked in the direction of the crying, a mother supporting a boy about her age, the boy missing an arm, her heart twisted, and she immediately looked away, unable to bear the sight.

Zhao Zhi heard the cry and immediately came over, surprised to see her: "You, why did you come here?"

"What’s wrong?"

"Li Guang is looking for you; he went to the minor injuries area."

He said in a rush, then ran to see the boy.
