Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Nothing Is More Important than Human Life Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Nothing Is More Important than Human Life Luo Qiao shouted angrily, “What are you two trying to do? Which brigade are you from? I’d really like to ask how cold-hearted you have to be to block the road and not let the cart through. If it weren’t for this rade saving you,
you might already be crippled or dead by now. How can you be so heartless? What are you standing around for? Hurry up and bring the ox cart over.” At that moment, the surrounding people also cast unfriendly glances at the mother and daughter.
Then an irritable middle-aged uncle took three steps in two and strode forward, snatching the reins and pulling the ox cart over. Luo Qiao said, “e on, Uncle, Big Brother, lend a hand to move this rescue hero onto the ox cart, thank you, everyone.”
The two women squeezed through and said, “No way, this ox cart belongs to the village. If this man dies on the cart from his serious injuries, how can we explain it to the village?”
When Luo Qiao heard this, she really wanted to lash out. If it weren’t for the urgency of saving someone, she truly could have hit someone. Is this something a human would say?
An old lady who had just witnessed the whole process spoke up, “Just now, this rade shouldn’t have bothered saving you. It would have been better if that car had hit and killed you all; you wouldn’t even count as human beings.
It’s because of trying to save you that this young man ended up like this, and you still have the nerve to say such things. I’m embarrassed for you.”
Luo Qiao called out, “Could any rade who is free please go report to the public security? After such a big incident, we need to get official involvement, let the police handle this.”
Without paying attention to the expressions of the mother and daughter, she had people hurry the ox cart towards the nearest hospital.
Upon arrival at the hospital, he was immediately taken to the emergency room. The nurse handed out a bill instructing to pay a hospital admission deposit of a hundred yuan, which left everyone looking at each other in dismay; nobody carried that much money on them.
But the nurse insisted that the man needed surgery right away. The people who had e along asked, “Nurse, this rade just saved someone’s life. We’re not his relatives, could you please save him first and let his family pay later when they arrive?”
The nurse said with some difficulty, “This rade’s injuries are severe, and the hospital has no precedent for that. You’ll have to figure something out.”
Luo Qiao sighed and said, “Give me the bill, please. I urge you to do your best to save him. He got hurt trying to save someone else; he’s a hero.”
Taking the bill, Luo Qiao turned and walked towards the payment counter. She didn’t want to stand out, but nothing was more important than a human life.
She could earn money back if she lost it, but if a person was gone, everything would be gone. Although they were strangers to each other, if it hadn’t been for his shout at the critical moment, she might have been in trouble herself.
Just based on his readiness to risk his life to help others, he deserved Luo Qiao’s respect.
After pleting the procedures, she returned to the emergency room, where the police had arrived to make inquiries.
Luo Qiao explained what had happened earlier. Fortunately, although the slope was long, it wasn’t too steep, and coupled with the timely shout, otherwise, the trouble would be unimaginable.
Originally, Luo Qiao also wanted to ask about the ultimate fate of the car, but the few police officers who came said that everything was still under investigation.
Luo Qiao sensed that today’s matter might not be simple; a perfectly good jeep couldn’t have just malfunctioned—it might have been tampered with deliberately. Since the police said so, she didn’t ask any further.
After the police had finished their questions, Luo Qiao asked, “Officer, may I leave now? I came to the city for some business.”
The police officer replied, “If possible, please don’t leave for the time being. If you have nowhere to stay, we can help arrange a place for you.”
