quicklime
"Did you hear that? Quickly! Move the mineral water from the van!" He Peiyuan commanded hurriedly and then asked the girl, "Yuxin, call me if you need anything else. I will do my utmost best to help."
"Great!" The female army doctor wiped the sweat from her face and then ran to the pickup.
In the carriage, a pregnant woman lied on the back seat in pain and a young man with thick glasses held her hands tightly. The man was covered in sweat, he was very nervous and scared about the woman.
The doctor tried to calm her down. She wore a pair of white gloves and then said, "Mr. Jiang Zuo, please get off the car since you may distract me."
Jiang Zuo's glasses couldn't hide the panic in his eyes, but he stopped his quivering hand and said, "Doctor Shangguan, please! Let me stay here, I want to be here for my wife and child!"
"Sorry, you can not stay here." The doctor's eyes were very calm.
"Please! I can help you and I will not bother you!" Jiang Zuo caught his wife's hand tightly and begged, "Shangguan Yuxin, I know you are a good person. So let me stay with her."
"It is simply impossible! You should get off the car if you still want your wife alive!" The doctor yelled at him with cold eyes. She said to the women that were there to help her, "Drag him out of here."
Several women, with much difficulty, tried to drag him out, while the pregnant woman in the carriage was very dizzy from the pain. Shangguan Yuxin was very nervous. Normally, delivering a baby under those condition could result into the mother or baby's death!
"I have brought the water!" He Peiyuans hurried voice sounded from outside.
"Please, do me a favor. Pour water into the pot." Shangguan Yuxin arranged the people around her and focused on the situation of the pregnant woman closely. She held the pregnant woman's hand tightly and subconsciously the soldier's strictness kept her calm, "Listen, in our current predicament there is no way quickly warm water, so we can only deliver the child in cold water. We will start immediately, you can hum to deal with the pain."
"Save, save my baby." The pregnant woman tried so hard speak.
Shangguan Yunxin's cold eyes turned red. She tried to suppress her sadness and started delivering the baby.
Behind the pickup, Jiang Zuo was walking back and forth, just like an ant in hotpot. He kept murmuring, "Hot water, there is no hot water... quicklime! There is a construction site in the highway we just past. It is thirty miles away from here. There are quicklimes, can't we go there and pick up some back? Why! Sh*t! There will be hot water if I get some quicklimes!
He murmured and pulled his hair; he was desperate!
Regret was written all over his face as he was immersed in his thoughts. He squatted on the ground helplessly and he looked like he was about to lose everything.
Bang! Suddenly he fell and hit the ground!
"Studying so much means nothing! I can do nothing! Learning chemistry means nothing! I cannot protect my wife and baby!"
"Thats right." Suddenly, Kuang Zhiran angrily said. He pointed at the box with the water bottles and he had a ferocious lood, "Who allowed you to use all that water? I can't drink it when I want, and yet, you want to use it to help deliver a baby?!"
"Comrade Kuang Zhiran," He Peiyuan walked in and suppressing his anger, "Currently, the pregnant woman is in danger and we have to use it."
"F*ck you!" Kuang Zhiran spat on the ground, "I had warned you not to bring the pregnant woman with us! The resources we have are limited! How does she dare delivering a child?"
"Stop shouting!" Lu Hongsheng shouted, "You will have your water and don't act like you care about the team since you are doing nothing to help."
"Ah?" Kuang Zhiran grinned and looked at Lu Hongsheng, "How do you dare talking to me like that? Do you know who my father is?!"
"You shut up!" Jiang Zuo suddenly shouted and his normal scholar attitude was gone. He was like a ferocious beast, "I want to help my wife and baby. I will fight with you if you try to stop me!"
The atmosphere was really tense, Kuang Zhiran who was scared of nothing was shocked by the sudden change in his temperament. Jiang Zuo's sudden change left everyone speechless.
Bee---
Bee---
As the team was still messy, sudden beeping sounds came not too far from them. Two high modified vehicles, looking like monsters, were approaching. Everyone's eyes automatically turned to the road, the cars were approaching with great momentum, if they did not stop they would crash.
"Ah!!"
"Help!"
Many people were scared and several water-carriers loosened their grips on the boxes, as a result the boxes fell on the ground.
Jiang Zuo, He Peiyuan and Kuang Zhiran out of the pickup were shocked. He Peiyuan waved and shouted, "Stop! There are people! Stop!"
But the opposite vehicles did not look like they were about to stop, maintaining their speed. They looked like they were going to crash them! Kuang Zhiran's mind was blank. The place he stood was between the two vehicles and the delivering carriage. The opposite modified crossroad vehicle was really close to him! He did not want to die.
Suddenly, Kuang Zhiran dragged Jiang Zuo in front of him and pushed him forward! 'Let him die! Let the scholar die! How did he dare talking to me like that!?'
Jiang Zuo was pushed just like that. He raised his head and he saw the monstrous crossroad vehicle coming toward him. He felt an oppressive feeling as it was about to crash him.
Zzzz-
Zzzz-
Two deafening frictions sounds could be heard and the two vehicles suddenly stopped less than one meter away from Jiang Zuo. There were several dark wheel marks left on the road.
Jiang Zuo was covered in sweat, he had no idea of what he should do or what he should say. His heart was beating so fast that it could burst out og his chest at any moment.
Kuang Zhirans feet were quivering and his brain had stopped thinking.
He Peiyuan took a deep breath and he looked at the two vehicles in front of him. Two young people. a man and a woman, got off the vehicle
Meanwhile, the white van's window was pulled down and a fat guy stretched out his head. There was a duck wing in his mouth and a woman with a beautiful body was sitting in the copilot seat. A little lolita stretched her head to see what was happening.
"F*ck! Who pushed him?! Are you crazy?"
