Chapter 43: The Rescue Is Here!



At noon, someone knocked on Yao Ran's door. She stopped what she was doing and went to open the door. Seeing it was Zhou Ruilin, she asked, "Sister Zhou, what's wrong?"

Zhou Ruilin looked worried and asked, "Miss Yao, can you take a look at Shu Shu? He seems to have a fever again."

Yao Ran nodded, went to get the medicine bag, and came back.

"Let's go."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After locking the door, she followed Zhou Ruilin to her home. Yao Ran checked Chi Shu and found that he not only had a fever but also had a rash. The five-year-old boy was lying on his small bed, looking very weak and fragile.

Yao Ran covered him with a thin quilt and looked at Zhou Ruilin, "Shu Shu is weak, and his immunity is deficient. He has a cold and a fever. Do you have any medicine at home?"

Zhou Ruilin nodded and quickly went to get the medicine box. Yao Ran opened the box and was surprised to find that the children's medicines were quite complete.

Seeing that Yao Ran didn't speak, Zhou Ruilin anxiously clasped her hands together and asked, "Miss Yao, can these medicines be used?"

Yao Ran nodded, took out the cold medicine for the children, and fed it to Chi Shu. "After Shu Shu recovers from his fever, you should focus on replenishing his body. If the body's immunity cannot be improved, it may be difficult to regain health."

Zhou Ruilin's expression froze when she heard Yao Ran's words. In their current situation, it was already a blessing to have something to eat. Where can she get nutritious foods to replenish her son's body?

Looking at Zhou Ruilin's distressed face, Yao Ran asked, "Sister Zhou, is there no news about your husband yet?"

Zhou Ruilin's eyes turned red, and she looked away. After a few seconds, her voice became hoarse, and she replied, "No news yet."

Yao Ran was hungry, so she returned to the living room and took out a lunch box. The lunch box includes rice, braised meat, stir-fried vegetables, and shredded potatoes. The portions are big enough for her and very tasty.

She ate while looking at the gloomy sky outside and then put the empty lunch box back into space. Although she has countless new lunch boxes ready to use, these items are no longer available for purchase. After washing it, she can still use it again.

After eating, Yao Ran felt sleepy. Just as she was about to take a nap, the roar of the engine coming from outside woke her up.

She walked to the window, opened the curtains, and took out the binoculars. She looked around and saw three orange inflatable boats approaching. Each boat carries a team of firefighters wearing orange jackets.

The typhoon has not left yet, but its power has significantly weakened. Driving a boat is not a problem as long as one steers carefully and avoids whirlpools.

Eighteen days after losing contact with the outside world, they finally saw the rescue teams -coming.

Seeing the rescue boats and firefighters, many people knelt on their balconies and cried. Some were so happy that they laughed and cried at the same time.

"It's the rescue team! The government didn't abandon us!"

"We are saved!"

Yao Ran looked at the three rescue boats below and saw one of the firefighters taking out a loudspeaker.

"Please don't panic and listen carefully. We will rescue everyone and visit building by building. Only collect essential items and follow our instructions. Priority will be given to evacuating the elderly and children."

"Due to a lack of manpower and supplies, rescue will prioritize those living on the flooded lower floors."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked and ran downstairs quickly. They waved at the firefighters and asked in panic from windows.

"Comrade, what about us? Although we are not flooded, we have nothing to eat."
