âDo you want to bring your wife here so that she can take a look?â Zhou Junmin asked Lu Xingzhi. âHer medical skills are better than the military doctors. Maybe she can save the child.â
âCall her and tell her about the child. Then, ask if she has a way to save him. Iâll get some people to continue the rescue efforts.â
Lu Xingzhi did not waste any time and immediately arranged for people to start the rescue.
It would be tough to save the victims buried in a landslide. They had to be careful because they could not use any other tools, even shovels. They were terrified that they would accidentally injure those who were buried.
As a result, most of them could only use small cleaning equipment. More villagers joined the rescue effort. They did not have any tools, so they dug the soil with their hands. Then they started to look for the buried victims.
Jiang Yao received a call from Zhou Junmin. She was about to say that she would go to the scene to take a look when Moe suddenly jumped in from the window. He tugged at the hem of her clothes and shook his head at her.
âItâs useless. Thereâs no way to save the child. Be careful, or youâll catch a cold.â Moe had quietly followed Lu Xingzhi. He knew about the childâs situation.
âThe child is only five years old and is seriously injured. Even if you can get him into the medical system, thereâs no guarantee that you can save him.
Furthermore, there are so many people over there. You canât get the child into the medical system. Furthermore, the child might die in your hands. Even if itâs a severe injury and a natural death, you must bear that responsibility. That might trigger the systemâs self-destruct program. Youâll lose everything.â
When Jiang Yao heard that, she quickly said, âThereâs nothing I can do. The childâs condition is too severe, and I donât have any tools to perform the surgery, so I canât do it.â
âItâs not your fault. Then, please remember to eat your dinner. Iâm going to help Colonel Lu.â Zhou Junmin was not surprised. After all, it had looked like a difficult situation. The childâs injury was severe, and the military doctor even said that the child might not make it to the hospital.
Moe waited for Jiang Yao to hang up the phone and immediately jumped onto the dining table. He was furious when he saw what was on the table. âYou are eating this tonight? Whereâs the meat? Whereâs the braised pork?â
âNo,â Jiang Yao said.
âYou guys are vegetarian now?â
Moe looked at Jiang Yao with a horrified expression. âShouldnât you be eating more protein when youâre pregnant?â
The dishes were all vegetarian, so Moe felt a little hopeless.
He knew that Lu Xingzhi would cook that evening, so he did not even sneak into the cafeteria to get something to eat. Instead, he headed straight home. He did not expect to see those vegetarian dishes.
âEggs are protein.â
Jiang Yao grinned. âOne protein and one vegetable. Thereâs meat in the soup too. You must learn how to count your blessings.â
âYou can finish this by yourself.â
Moe did not have to eat three meals a day; it was just a simple craving. However, he had been used to the three meals a day after he started to live with Jiang Yao. Too bad that nightâs dishes did not arouse his appetite at all.
Moe saw how satisfied Jiang Yao had looked. He thought that the woman would be happy with any dishes as long as her husband had cooked them.
âEven if the system doesnât self-destruct, his family will still pester you if he were to die in your hands,â Moe said. âThose people are scoundrels. They might survive the landslide if they managed to get them out in time..â
