Chapter 654: Rivers Returning To The Sea

At the Mayo Clinic, Mu Tao stared blankly at the web page on the laptop in front of him.

There was a huge earthquake in his hometown. On the other side of the world, he could not feel any tremors but his heart was aching.

When the earthquake happened, it was past two in the morning. Mu Tao had just fallen asleep.

When he woke up and found out about the news, plenty of it had already appeared on the Internet. He looked at the various news that appeared on the laptop screen and was stunned for a long time.

Without hesitation, he calculated what time it was and picked up the phone.

“Teacher, I want to go back to China,” Mu Tao said firmly. “Okay, I’ll book the nearest plane ticket. I want to go to the frontline. Is there no civil aviation there anymore?”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you,” Mu Tao said. “I’m really sorry. After such a thing happened, I really can’t convince myself to continue staying at Mayo Clinic.”

Putting down his phone, Mu Tao began to book tickets and pack his things.

There were not many things but he did not have the time to take all of them away. He only brought his valuables and the issue of The New England Journal of Medicine that published the new TIPS surgical procedure.

When he pulled his suitcase out of Mayo Clinic, Mu Tao felt that the sun was very dazzling.

Here, the sun was bright and beautiful.

What about the other side? What kind of scene was there?

Narrowing his eyes, Mu Tao waited for the bus to come and send him to the airport.

While waiting, Mu Tao saw a yellow-skinned person howling and telling the story of the earthquake-stricken area.

Without rescue, countless victims died… That colorful person described a sorrowful and hopeless world to pa.s.sersby.

Mu Tao shook his head and could not be bothered to watch their performance.

There was no rescue? Nonsense.

He had to rush back even though he was thousands of miles away and they actually said there was no rescue? That was really ridiculous.

If they had to say there was no rescue, that was because there were no spots for the rescue team. The list of people who partic.i.p.ated in the rescue gave people a headache.

Mu Tao heard from Wu Hais.h.i.+—Elder Wu—on the phone that the hospital’s medical administration division kept receiving letters of war and even bloodletters. It seemed like they would resign and go to rescue in their personal capacity if they were not allowed to go.

If it were not for the military control of planes and railways in Sichuan and the transportation of strategic materials, there would have been people who left secretly long ago.

The hospital tried its best to comfort them. The quota for the rescue team was very precious.

It was still a local hospital. Those military medical universities and military hospitals were probably already established to go to the frontline.

He hoped that he could go back and be able to go. The teacher had to kowtow to others… However, Mu Tao did not feel guilty. If he did not ask for a way back then when could he ask for it?

He carried the suitcase and looked at the person who was drooling on the other side of the road. A familiar figure suddenly appeared in his heart.

What was that Doctor Zheng doing?

He should be working hard for the n.o.bel Prize.

Soon, the car arrived.

Mu Tao got into the car and looked coldly at the drama queen opposite him. He did not go up to reason with those people and explain the truth.

People would choose to believe what they liked to hear and not the truth.

Let those clowns jump. They were just a bunch of idiots. He should not and could not waste his time on them.

‘Just like how I can’t wake up a person who’s pretending to be asleep, I don’t need to reason with them.’

Mu Tao got in the car, closed the door, and rushed to the airport.

..

..

Horqin Right Middle Banner of Inner Mongolia.

In the small Second Cla.s.s Grade A Hospital, the intervention doctor was ignored.

His name was directly deleted when he signed up for earthquake relief.

The intervention department was considered a useless department. Did they know how to do emergency treatment? Was he younger than thirty-five years old? Was he not up to their standard? Was he going to cause trouble for the people in the disaster area?

What bullsh*t!

He was very dejected and walked back dejectedly.

The chain of medical contempt had always existed, and the Department of Interventional Medicine was a small department that was despised by all departments in the second-grade hospital.

It was so frustrating! The doctor from the Department of Interventional Medicine was in a daze because he could not go to the frontline.

Suddenly, his cellphone rang.

He picked up his cell phone in a daze and saw a very strange name.

It was the person who was the leader of a group of backpackers who were arranged by a friend from Imperial Capital to visit Inner Mongolia the year before last.

The intervention doctor had arranged everything very carefully. There was even camping in the desert and singing and dancing in the moonlight. Everyone returned to their places happy and left their contact details. Because they were all backpackers who liked to go outdoors, they had never deleted each other from their contact lists.

It was just that the person on the other side had not contacted him afterward. He would send a group message to greet him during the holidays.

He was the kind of person that probably had a social life.

Who knew? It had nothing to do with him. The doctor from the Department of Interventional Medicine answered the phone absent-mindedly.

“h.e.l.lo.”

“Liu Xuzhi?”

“This is Liu Xuzhi. What’s the matter, Chief Zhang?”

“Do you want to go to the frontline?”

Without any greetings, the other party’s words were like a knife, stabbing directly into the heart of the interventional doctor, Liu Xuzhi.

His heart trembled, and his hands could not help but do the same.

During that time, besides the frontline, where else could one be?

“Brother… Brother Zhang, really?” Liu Xuzhi’s voice trembled. Happiness came too suddenly, making him feel like he was dreaming.

“Do you want to or not?” The voice on the other side was cold and impatient.

“Yes, of course I’m going!” Liu Xuzhi realized that as long as he hesitated, the call would be hung up.

During that time, everyone’s patience had been exhausted. Simply put, it was fine to go or not.

After that, the person told him how to contact him and explained what mode of transportation to take and where to meet so that they could fly together.

After putting down the phone, Liu Xuzhi still felt like the whole situation was unreal. However, he did not suspect that the other party was lying to him. He immediately called his wife and told her that he was going on a business trip for a few days.

He did not go home. He simply packed up the toiletries in the department, bought a ticket, and was ready to step on the high-speed train to Hohhot.

He walked out of the hospital with light steps and saw the hospital’s volunteer team waiting in front of the office building with a red flag. The hospital had sent two ambulances. They were sitting in the ambulances and carrying supplies. They were also about to set off.

‘You guys didn’t want to bring me!’ Liu Xuzhi had a different emotion in his heart. ‘Hehe, I’m going to take a plane. I’ll definitely arrive before you.’

It made him feel really good.

It’s like a piece of pie falling from the sky. It was so delicious.

‘When you guys arrive by car, the most critical seventy-two hours have already pa.s.sed. The best job is probably loading and unloading the mountain of relief supplies by then.’

Liu Xuzhi could not help but whistle. He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to ask for leave.

However, the thought only flashed through his mind and then disappeared.

Ask for leave? Why would he even need to? He was off duty, after all!

However, it was still necessary to inform the department group on WeChat. As for not giving leave… Anyway, he would already be at the frontline, so he would not care if it was given to him or not.

He got on the bus and rushed all the way to the high-speed railway station without stopping.

..

The whole country experienced a violent vibration and countless people rushed to the frontline spontaneously.

They did not know what they could do if they went, but they could not just sit there and do nothing either. They always felt that something was wrong and their hearts were blocked. It was especially uncomfortable.

There were people like Mu Tao at the Mayo Clinic far away, and Liu Xuzhi at Horqin Right Middle Banner of Inner Mongolia, as well as countless others.

They were small streams that were converging together.

Ten thousand trickles formed water, converging into a river just like a surging song.
