Chapter 311 Disaster
Floating corpses are everywhere.
Since they arrived in Chuanyuan County, what did Li Chengqian and the others do the most? They are not resettling victims or rescuing patients, but constantly salvaging the bodies.
Many of the elderly, children, women, and even some middle-aged men were flooded in the water.
Today is the third day of salvage of the corpses. The ships who travel back and forth can carry a full ship of corpses back every time. If you are lucky, you can see two living people who have not yet died. It is heartbreaking to see.
Most of the bodies that were salvaged were not recognized by relatives. At Liu Yi's suggestion, they were all sprinkled with a layer of lime and buried deep on the spot. In such a scorching heat, if these bodies were parked for a long time, they would rot and deteriorate, which would inevitably lead to a significant plague. Li Chengqian, the prince, was by his side, and Liu Yi did not dare to take this risk, and he could not bear this responsibility.
Moreover, after arriving in Chuanyuan County, Liu Yiu changed his previous lazy style and became diligent when doing things. Every day, he personally directed the accompanying doctors to treat patients and guided the surviving victims to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control.
This place is not as good as the previous resident. Most of the villagers there are active migrations, and their material life is generally guaranteed. They do not need to take care of them too much, nor do they have too many safety hazards.
But here is different. Most of the victims near the station were washed by floods. They had nothing else except a piece of clothing washed by rain and floods. If they did not make more arrangements than them, whether they could survive would be a big question.
More importantly, people who have no food, drink, no clothes, no place to live are the most likely people to suffer from plague.
For them and for themselves, Liu Yiu had to make himself diligent. He was a doctor, to be precise, a veterinarian, but here, there were many things he could do, dealing with trauma and stitching were his best job.
The same thing is said, in the face of huge natural disasters, everyone will become both fragile and strong. Liu Yiu was also shocked by such a real disaster and shocked. From childhood to adulthood, he has never seen so many dead people except on TV and movies?
Swelling, deformed, pale, and some of them even had their eyes suddenly popped out. Since they arrived in Chuanyuan County, Liu Yi's face has been pale. Every day, looking at batches of various corpses that were retrieved, Liu Yi felt that his heart and thoughts were almost numb.
Now he can even do it, looking at these corpses and eating and drinking in big mouthfuls, which he could not imagine before.
Compared to Liu Yiu, Li Chengqian, a half-aged child, seemed much calmer and had been calmly arranging various departments to search and rescue, and had always turned a blind eye to the bodies pulled back, as if they did not exist at all.
When he was a child, he saw many dead people. That kind of situation was hundreds of times worse than those who were drowned now.
Even he had killed two soldiers who wanted to harm him and his mother's queen with his own hands. Although the two soldiers had appeared in his dreams for a long time since then, he was no longer afraid.
I get used to seeing tragic things after seeing so many things.
"For three days," Li Chengqian looked at Liu Yiyi, waved his hand to show Liu Yiyi to sit next to him, and said softly: "All ships salvaged 5,900 corpses, but less than 500 survivors, and there are not even one person today. Now, the corpses in the water have begun to undergo changes, with stinking smells, and there are many flies on their side. I plan to stop this search business from the day after tomorrow and save more manpower to resettle those still alive victims. What do you think?"
"The little people have no objection, just let Your Highness the Crown Prince decide." Liu Yiqing bowed to Li Chengqian, not eating or drinking. Seven days is the limit of the human body. If you search, you can get more rotten corpses.
"Well, the day before yesterday, Gu had sent someone to Chang'an to report the situation here. I think it was almost here. The flood was hit ten days ago. Although the disaster was serious, no epidemic occurred in any place. This is a miracle. Mr. Liu made great contributions!" Li Chengqian glanced at Liu Yiyi and took a sip of tea.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has been awarded too much," Liu Yi chuckled, not caring about Li Chengqian's words, just a false reputation. For him, it was like a cloud, especially after experiencing this great disaster, Liu Yi's mood was even more so.
What he thought was that his wife and children were warm and the family was peaceful and living together happily.
Liu Yi, who had died once, was even more open-minded about fame and profit.
If a person is in fame and fortune, his heart is calm, he cannot be said to be enlightened, but he can only be said to be him and has seen through it. Famous fame is like dirt, power is like clouds, and it is useless to be necessary.
"Mr. Liu is noble and does not seek fame and fortune, and I admire him." Looking at Liu Yi's expression, Li Chengqian knew that these things were tempting to Liu Yi at all, so he chuckled and said, "At most, five days, the place will be settled. At that time, the father will send someone to pick up the help, and Mr. Liu can go back to Chang'an with Gu. Gu can see that Mr. Liu misses home for so many days after leaving home."
"Hehe, the love between children is long, and the Crown Prince is laughing," Seeing Li Chengqian say this, Liu Yi did not refute, but just bowed and chuckled at Li Chengqian, which was considered to be acknowledging what Li Chengqian said.
When a wife is pregnant, there is no reason why she is not worried about being a husband.
"Mr. Liu is a person with a temperament. It is a blessing for Mr. Liu to marry Mr. Liu. It's just a pity that my sister Yuzhang has always admired her, but she has no chance again." Among the many sisters and brothers, only Yuzhang and Li Chengqian are closest to each other. Li Chengqian naturally knows something about Yuzhang's thoughts.
If he could marry a man who was capable and had such a family, he would be much better than ordinary children of a noble family. Yu Zhang had a good home, but it was a pity that he would not give others so much, and Yu Zhang did not have such a good fate.
Thinking of Yu Zhang's body, Li Chengqian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Princess Yuzhang?" Liu Yi looked at Li Chengqian in confusion, and couldn't help but remember the woman she covered in face she saw at the wedding banquet in the Fang Mansion last time. I wonder why Li Chengqian mentioned her for no reason?
Not only Li Chengqian, but also Princess Changle, she would mention Princess Yuzhang in front of him if she had something to do. It was really a bit strange.
"Uh, hehe, it's a lonely man. Mr. Liu, don't care," Li Chengqian chuckled, talking about him, and didn't want to say more about this topic. Seeing this, Liu Yiu also tactfully stopped asking.
"I heard that Erzhao ranked among the top three in this year's provincial examination. Congratulations to Mr. Liu." Li Chengqian put the tea bowl beside his mouth and pursed it gently, looked up at Liu Yi, and said softly to Liu Yi.
"It's all for the Hongfu of His Highness the Crown Prince," Liu Yiuang bowed to Li Chengqian sincerely, knowing that Li Chengqian must have made some explanations in this matter. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Liu Erjie to rank third with Wang Zhihong's face alone.
"It is also Erzhao who has real talent and knowledge. If he writes articles, he can be the examiner's eye. Otherwise, it will be useless to ask anyone for blessings," Li Chengqian nodded gently and said with a smile: "It's not just Erzhao, but Zhang Chuwen, who has good knowledge and talent. This year's re-examination, he and Erzhao both have great hopes. They are lonely and look forward to them."
"Your Highness Cheng's Highness, I believe that if my brother and my brother knew about your Highness the Prince's words, they would be extremely happy and would never disappoint your Highness." After understanding the meaning of Li Chengqian's words, Liu Yiu gave in to Li Chengqian again.
Judging from Li Chengqian's current momentum, he is becoming more and more emperor. It may not be a bad thing to let Liu Ertiao and Zhang Chuwen follow him.
Now that Li Tai is dead, Hou Junji has fled, and the wise king of Li Shimin respects his son so much. I think the prince Li Chengqian should have no reason or necessity to rebel again, right?
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, another fleet of ships has returned, but there are still no survivors on the ship. Except for the soldiers sent, the ships are all transported back by some dead bodies." At this time, Li Jihe came in from outside and reported to Li Chengqian, but what he said is not good news.
"How many people are there this time?" Li Chengqian put down the tea bowl in his hand and asked Li Jihe softly.
"Ten ships transported back a total of 168 corpses, and those corpses have begun to rot and smelly." Li Jihe said to Li Chengqian in a low voice.
"Well, okay, I'd better follow the previous method, cover all the lime and buried them on the spot. Well, tell the fleet that from now on, we should stop salvaging these corpses and let them do their best to search for the victims who are still alive." Li Chengqian waved to Li Jihe and ordered him softly.
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Jihe responded lightly, bowed to Li Chengqian, and then turned around and left the tent.
