On the way to escape from famine, I amaze the world with my medical practice

Chapter 26 Crossing the River Smoothly
  There was a river crossing in front, and there were refugees and pursuers behind.

Dayan is not far away, but no one knows whether everyone can reach it smoothly.

"Hongchang, I can't go to Dayan, but you have to take everyone with you. These useless children and grandchildren in our family will be entrusted to you to take care of from now on. You are a capable person. Please be more considerate. Second Grandpa, please... "

Ye Hongchang was so choked up that he couldn't speak. He had been coming up with ideas these days, and he always looked fearless, but in fact, many times, he was also very confused.

He didn't dare to let others see it, and even in front of his family he had to look invulnerable.

But at this moment, facing the trust of this elder, he finally lost all pretense and burst into tears.

I was crying for Ye Changlin, but I was also crying for myself, and for the hardships these days.

"Second Grandpa, don't say such things. We are a family and should take care of each other."

After hearing this, Ye Changlin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then said, "Remember, you must cross the river tomorrow... you must cross the river tomorrow."

He spoke to his family again and told them not to stand against the Ye family under any circumstances, and to remember the Ye family's help to them at all times.

The old man is so old and has lived a clear life. Naturally, he understands that there will be a lot of troubles after arriving in Dayan.

When there are difficulties, everyone is a family, but when the crisis is over, it will be different.

In the face of danger, there is only one way to go, so naturally we must work together.

When it comes to self-interest, everyone has their own thoughts.

But no matter how others make trouble, our own children and grandchildren cannot follow suit.

Everyone in the family agreed, and Ye Hongting said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will always remember your words."

"Okay." Ye Changlin smiled slightly and nodded.

He shouted with his last strength, "Listen to Hongchang. Hongchang is capable and can save everyone."

After finishing speaking, he tilted his head to the side and died.

The whole family was crying loudly, and other people in the village also felt their eyes sore. The old man was still worried about everyone at the last moment.

Ye Hongting respected his grandfather very much. He seemed to have lost his soul at this moment. He couldn't believe this was true.

The old man is more than seventy years old. This should be a sign of joy and mourning, but on this road to escape, how can he expect so much?

Ye Hongchang asked a few people to help him and chose a good place to dig a hole. Even if the water rose, it would not be easy to flood the place.

Ye Xiangxiang felt quite sad. Although she didn't have much contact with this old man, his death made her feel a little more desolate.

She turned around, and Meng Tianlang was also looking there in a daze.

Ye Xiangxiang paused, then walked towards him, "Thank you for speaking up for me, otherwise Mr. Meng wouldn't have given the old man an injection."

"Grandpa knows how to do it." Meng Tianlang smiled slightly, "He is a doctor by nature, rescuing lives and relieving the pain of patients, but he just wants to avoid causing trouble, so he always looks cruel along the way."

After all, it was to protect him.

Ye Xiangxiang said, "The old man didn't feel any pain when he left. Thanks to Mr. Meng, he is really good at medical skills."

"Grandpa said that you are a good candidate to study medicine." He looked at her, "If you have a good master, you will definitely become a great doctor in time."

Ye Xiangxiang sighed, "Most people in this world look down upon women. How many of them are really willing to teach women medical skills? I was shameless and begged Mr. Meng to accept me as his disciple, but he was unwilling. What a pity."

Naturally, Meng Tianlang would not agree to anything for Meng Chang, but he also hoped that Ye Xiangxiang could find a good master and not let her talent go to waste. "You will meet a good master in the future. I also believe that as long as you become a doctor, you will definitely be a good doctor."

Ye Xiangxiang nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Meng."

After a while, the hole has been dug.

Everyone buried Ye Changlin in as formal a manner as possible.

The younger members of the clan came to kowtow to Ye Changlin. Ye Hongting cried and said, "Grandpa, when we gain a foothold in Dayan, my grandson will definitely come to pick you up and reunite you."

Meng Tianlang also bent slightly in that direction, and Ye Xiangxiang said, "I want to thank you on behalf of the old man."

Ye Xiangxiang went over to kowtow to Ye Changlin and comfort others.

Looking back, Meng Tianlang was no longer there.

Everyone barely slept a wink that night. They tied up a raft overnight, cleaned up their belongings, and prepared for crossing the river.

There was a strong wind in the middle of the night. Listening to the sound of the wind, everyone couldn't sleep at all.

Ye Hongchang was in a mess. At this time, he was actually doubting whether this decision was correct.

If they succeed, they will enter Great Inflammation at least five days earlier than other refugees, and they can avoid the flood season.

But if it fails, how many people will be killed crossing the river?
  By daybreak, the wind had calmed down a bit, but the sky was overcast and rain was coming soon.

Ye Hongchang ordered to prepare to cross the river. Ye Hongshun and Ye Hongting took the lead and first pulled the prepared rope and tied it to the big tree.

Others put the prepared rafts into the water, and then moved the luggage to be transported one by one to the river.

The river was three feet wide. Fortunately, the rope was made strong enough. Otherwise, with such a wide river, even tying both ends to the trees on both sides wouldn't be of much help.

The weather was getting colder, and Ye Hongshun and Ye Hongting felt shivering while swimming in the water, but they warmed up after swimming for a while.

After the ropes were tied, the rafts were all launched into the water.

Ye Hongchang asked the elderly and children to get on the raft first, and the young men who knew how to swim pushed the raft to the other side.

The raft was tied very firmly, but I didn't get the hang of it at first, and it was a little wobbly, which scared everyone, but it got better after that.

It's like this one transport after another. After transporting people and luggage, the people in the water can't hold on for long, so they have to be rotated.

Working from morning to afternoon, more than a dozen young men were so tired that they collapsed on the ground and did not want to move. Several times the raft almost came off, but they swam desperately and blocked it with their shoulders to prevent it from drifting further away.

Ye Xiangxiang and Meng Tianlang were on the last trip. Ye Hongshun lost his strength in his hand, and the raft suddenly turned over. Ye Xiangxiang lost his grip and fell directly into the water.

The current was still quite fast, and even though she knew how to swim, she didn't react for a moment and drifted downstream.

Ye Hongshun knew that she could swim over by herself, so he was not in a hurry. But before he could say anything, Meng Tianlang plunged into the water with a sudden movement, quickly swam to Ye Xiangxiang's side, and held her back as he swam back.

Ye Xiangxiang didn't know whether he should mention that he knew how to swim. He waited until he reached the shore and said, "Since you know how to swim, why do you want my third uncle to pull you?"

"Isn't it the same for you?" Meng Tianlang smiled. If she didn't know how to swim, it would not be so easy to swim back.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, they both breathed a sigh of relief after successfully crossing the river, and then continued towards Dayan.

　For the sake of me getting up so early to code, can you vote for me and give me a reward?
