While Li Dong and Shen Qian were helping out in the school, a rescue team that had gone deep into Wenshan returned.
Many people rushed out of the school to ask about the situation in Wenshan.
When they heard some rough news, everyone instantly shed tears.
Li Dong also walked out. At this moment, a nurse was sobbing and caressing the baby in her arms.
"When we opened the wall, she was already gone … At that time, she was kneeling on the ground with her upper body prostrated. Because there was still the next point to be rescued, we were just about to leave … sob sob …"
The young nurse recalled the scene she had seen and said with tears streaming down her face, "The captain suddenly ran back, and then we found this child. He was protected by his mother and was completely unharmed. I really can't believe how great a woman must be to be able to do this. Later, we found her phone. On it was a message that had already been written: 'Dear baby, if you survive, you must remember that I love you' … "
Looking at the sleeping child in the nurse's arms, everyone's eyes turned red.
Many people were already crying. Someone choked and said, "This is the miracle of life!"
"It's the power of maternal love!"
"…"
Beside Li Dong, Shen Qian was also choking with sobs. Her eyes were frighteningly red.
Even though Li Dong had always felt that his heart was hard enough, his eyes were red and he didn't say anything.
He had heard about this incident on the Internet in his previous life and had even seen pictures. But at this moment, he was at the scene, and the shock he felt was indescribable!
This was a natural disaster!
Natural disasters were heartless, but people had feelings.
In this kind of environment, a great mother had propped up the sky for her child's life.
If this wasn't a miracle, what was?
All this time, Li Dong had felt that there were too many dark sides to society. Family and love sometimes couldn't compare to benefits.
After witnessing too much mutual deception in the business world and the "filial piety of the sons and fathers" of the big families, Li Dong himself was gradually influenced and guided.
But at this moment, Li Dong knew that he was wrong.
It turned out that there wasn't only benefits in this world. There was also something else.
Resisting the urge to cry, Li Dong walked forward and gently touched the sleeping child.
It was as if they were dreaming of their mother. The smiling face of the sleeping child instantly drove away the haze in everyone's hearts, and their hearts warmed up.
The nurse wiped her tears and smiled, "The child is very healthy, but he still needs to be sent to the hospital in the rear for a checkup. We'll be leaving first. With him here, I believe that tomorrow will be better!"
Many people became spirited and nodded heavily. "Tomorrow will be even better!"
Seeing the child being carried away by the nurse, Shen Qian was a little reluctant. Tears appeared in her eyes as she looked at Li Dong and said, "Li Dong, we … we …"
Li Dong shook his head slightly. He knew what Shen Qian meant.
However, Li Dong still sighed and said, "I know what you want to do, but his mother used her life to protect him, hoping that he could live a happy life. Finding an ordinary family and enjoying the warmth of his parents was what the great mother wanted to see. If he follows us, he might be able to get material satisfaction, but we can't give him family love. "
Ever since he adopted Tian Xiaoyu and Little Shitou, Li Dong actually regretted it.
He didn't regret having two more burdens, but regretted that he couldn't give them what they wanted.
There were some things that money couldn't make up for.
How much energy did he have to take care of these children who weren't his own flesh and blood?
The moment he saw the child, Li Dong also had the idea of adopting him, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
After this disaster, most of them would be adopted.
Finding an ordinary family and enjoying the warmth of a family was sometimes more important than money.
Shen Qian hesitated for a moment when she heard that. After a while, she said in a low voice, "After this, I want to set up a few orphanages. Is that okay?"
In the past, Shen Qian only treated the charity foundation as a career. It would be a lie to say that she pitied and sympathized with those people.
However, this time, after personally coming to the earthquake zone and seeing the scene, Shen Qian's mentality changed.
It turned out that charity was not just for fame. It turned out that benefits were not eternal.
This trip to the disaster area was a baptism for her and Li Dong.
Deceiving each other, scheming against each other, this moment seemed so far away.
Li Dong nodded and said softly, "Do what you like. If the foundation doesn't have enough money, just tell me."
"Okay!"
..
The sky gradually darkened.
The rescue team also withdrew from the front one after another. However, there were still countless people searching in front, giving hope to the people in the dark.
The night was deep and dark.
It was almost ten o 'clock when Tan Yong and the others came back.
At this time, a few strong men were so tired that they couldn't even lift their arms.
However, none of them felt tired. Two different expressions appeared on their faces: satisfaction and sorrow.
When Tan Yong returned, he saw Li Dong sitting on a rock, drinking mineral water and eating dry bread. He couldn't help but say, "General Manager Li, I'll get you something hot."
Li Dong waved his hand and said, "No need. You've been tired all day. Rest early."
"But …"
Li Dong sighed softly and said, "There's no need to say anymore. Also, I can't help much here. I won't go to Wen Mountain tomorrow. However, I heard that large machinery can't go in yet. We can only rescue with our bare hands. It's been more than 30 hours since the earthquake, and the golden time for rescue is getting shorter and shorter. You guys can follow the rescue team to Wen Mountain tomorrow. Save a few more people, and it'll be considered helping me. "
Tan Yong hesitated for a moment before finally nodding and saying, "Okay, then I'll bring everyone to Wen Mountain tomorrow."
"Okay, eat something and rest early. Otherwise, you won't have the strength tomorrow."
Li Dong sent Tan Yong and the others away and continued to sit on the rock and eat his bread.
After a while, Shen Qian walked out of the tent behind him.
Picking up the mineral water bottle in Li Dong's hand and taking a sip, Shen Qian sighed and said, "It's too tragic. It's a pity that we can't help at all."
Li Dong nodded and said, "We're actually a burden here. Not only can we not help people, but we'll also cause trouble for everyone. Zhang Kaidong also arranged two people to protect me in the afternoon, but it's a waste of our strength. Tomorrow, we'll go back to Shu City. Since we can't help here, we'll do something that we can help with. "
"Okay."
Shen Qian had no objection. This trip to the earthquake zone, perhaps they didn't help much, but this trip was a spiritual baptism.
The sky began to drizzle again, as if it was crying for the lost lives.
However, this rain came at the wrong time. Li Dong sighed slightly. In this kind of bad weather, the rescue would be even more difficult.
That night, Li Dong and Shen Qian slept in the same tent.
Neither of them slept, nor did they have any desire. The reason why they slept together was because there were not enough tents.
Even if Li Dong brought a large number of supplies this time, the government also sent a large number of supplies.
But there were too many disaster victims. Even if there were intact buildings, no one dared to go in for the night.
Drinking water and food were barely enough, but tents were the most scarce.
Many of the soldiers who came down from the front line didn't even have tents. They found a smooth flat ground, lay on the ground, and fell asleep.
They were too tired. They didn't have large machinery, they had to rely on manpower. Some of the soldiers' hands were already badly mutilated.
The sky was still drizzling, and in the early morning, a group of soldiers retreated from the front line.
Li Dong gave up his tent and took Shen Qian, Tan Yong, and the others to squeeze into a tent.
At this time, the distinction between men and women was no longer important, and Shen Qian didn't have any complaints.
Tan Yong asked to go out and keep watch, but Li Dong persuaded them.
Eight people were squeezed into a tent. It was crowded, damp, and even mixed with an unpleasant smell of sweat. But at this moment, Li Dong felt a lot more at ease.
…
May 14th, early in the morning, Tan Yong and his people followed the rescue team to the front line.
Li Dong and Shen Qian also got up very early. Their eyes were still bloodshot.
They didn't waste mineral water to wash up, they simply wiped their faces and prepared to return to Shu Du city.
At this time, Zhang Kaidong, who they hadn't seen since last night, hurried over.
This major was also covered with mud. Obviously, he hadn't been idle since yesterday.
As soon as he saw Li Dong, Zhang Kaidong immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Li, are you going back?"
Li Dong nodded and said, "I have to go, otherwise, I will have to trouble you to take care of me."
"You're welcome, we should thank you and Miss Shen. I just found out that you even gave up your tent last night. And Mr. Li's bodyguards, they also helped us a lot. They are even more powerful than the professional rescue team. Mr. Li, I, Zhang Kaidong, admire you! "
Zhang Kaidong sincerely admired Li Dong. It was not a big deal for a billionaire to go to the frontline. In fact, he always thought that Li Dong was just putting on a show.
Yesterday, when he picked them up, he was also not very willing. The reason why he was polite was because of the supplies.
But now, he really admired him.
Not to mention that all his bodyguards were sent out, Li Dong himself was also very low-key.
In fact, this time, if Li Dong wanted to become famous, it would be too easy.
Right now, a large number of reporters and media had gathered here. Not only did Li Dong personally transport hundreds of millions of supplies, but he also sent his bodyguards to search and rescue.
If they leaked a little information to the outside world, they would be surrounded by the media immediately.
But Li Dong didn't. From the beginning to the end, he was like an invisible person.
Except for a few people, perhaps no one knew that at this time, at the forefront of this area, there was a rich man who was one of the richest people in the country participating in the rescue.
Even at the school yesterday, no one knew that the young man who beat them up for the whole afternoon was Li Dong.
After knowing all of this, Zhang Kaidong completely changed his opinion of Li Dong.
He didn't come here to make a show. Even if it was really a show, Zhang Kaidong would still accept it.
99 schools, hundreds of millions of supplies, a rescue team of 100 people personally went to the frontline …
Zhang Kaidong saw all of these things in his eyes. There were many entrepreneurs like him, even if it was just a show, so what?!
This originally belonged to them, so it was reasonable for people to know about it.
Then Zhang Kaidong said: "Mr. Li, this time, I will send you back. Also, if time permits, I hope you can stay in Shu Du City for a few days … "
Li Dong looked at him. Zhang Kaidong explained: "It's secretary Liu's idea. He really can't leave right now. When he has time, he wants to talk to you."
Li Dong didn't ask what Liu Minghua wanted to talk to him about. He thought for a moment and said: "I will try my best, but if secretary Liu is too busy, you don't have to find time to meet me."
Liu Minghua was probably very busy right now, he really didn't have time to see Li Dong.
Otherwise, when Li Dong arrived yesterday, Liu Minghua would have already met him.
Zhang Kaidong just conveyed his opinion, he didn't say much.
Zhang Kaidong drove Li Dong and Li Dong back to Shu Du City in the same off-road vehicle that he used yesterday.
On the way back, there was still a large number of vehicles driving in.
The continuous fleet of vehicles added a trace of warmth and sunshine to the ruined world.
On the way, people kept asking: "How is Wen Shan?"
"What supplies do you need? I will ask my son to bring another car over!"
"I am a doctor, but I am still in my internship. Is there a shortage of doctors in the front?"
"… …"
These words of concern made Zhang Kaidong's mood even better.
Although this man was very tired, whenever he encountered a question, Zhang Kaidong would stop the car briefly to explain a few words.
Every time he restarted the car, Zhang Kaidong would turn around and say: "sorry, Mr. Li, I won't stop the car next time."
And every time, Li Dong would give the same answer: "it's okay, let everyone rest assured. Today is better than yesterday, tomorrow will be even better!"
The car stopped all the way to Shu Du City.
At around 2 o 'clock in the afternoon, Li Dong met up with Wang Yue and the others who had returned yesterday.
When they met up, Zhang Kaidong did not get out of the car. He sat in the car and saluted Li Dong again.
Li Dong also stood up straight and saluted back.
Zhang Kaidong grinned, started the car, and said loudly: "Mr. Li, I am going back, I hope I can meet you again next time!"
"There will be a chance!"
"Goodbye!"
The off-road vehicle sped away. The frontline still needed him, even if he had not slept for two days and two nights, even if the higher-ups asked him to go back to Shu Du City this time to rest for a few days.
But this major still chose to continue to go back to rescue, because he was needed there.
Looking at the off-road vehicle leaving, Li Dong slowly put down his hand.
After watching silently for a while, Li Dong pulled himself together and turned to Wang Yue. "Continue to get the group to prepare supplies for the rescue. We need a large number of tents and drinking water, as well as medicine. Let the things in the distance flow, the faster the better! Other than that … "
Li Dong issued a few more orders. Wang Yue's face was a bit awkward: "but we have no more supplies to transfer. If we transfer more, the supermarket business will be interrupted."
"So be it. It's better than doing nothing."
Wang Yue saw that Li Dong did not care about the supermarket business, so she sighed in her heart.
Sometimes, she really did not understand this young boss.
When the boss was ruthless, he was more ruthless than anyone else.
But when he was soft-hearted, he was more soft-hearted than anyone else.
The Distance Charitable Fund was probably the most famous private charity in recent years. Now, in order to help Sichuan, they did not even care about the supermarket business.
You know how much effort Li Dong had put in to build the foundation of Faraway Supermarket.
The group was already short of funds, and this time they spent so much on this. Wang Yue did not know whether she should laugh at Li Dong's ignorance or admire him.
