Chapter 550: Chapter 542: Snatch Chapter 550: Chapter 542: Snatch Even if she didn’t cut it now, she might still have to once she got ho.
Gu Ning took out his tiny knife and cut off a large chunk of Tang Yuxin’s hair in one fell swoop.
Now her hair was truly up to her shoulders.
Regardless of the haircut style, Tang Yuxin felt as if her head had suddenly beco much lighter.
“I can repay you with snacks, but I can’t regrow my hair.”
Gu Ning put away his military knife and grabbed a handful of Tang Yuxin’s hair, managing to style it roughly.
Tang Yuxin picked up a strand of her own hair and put it in her pocket for later disposal.
After all, it had grown out of her body; wouldn’t leaving it here be weird?
...
“You can just note my debt,” she patted her pocket, “You owe more than just a life now, but also my hair.
You mustn’t go back on any requests I make in the future.”
The hole Tang Yuxin was preparing for Gu Ning was getting bigger and bigger.
She was ready to step in and sever any feelings he may have for Zhang Xiaoi.
After all, Gu Ning could marry any woman or remain a bachelor for life, but he absolutely couldn’t have Zhang Xiaoi.
Otherwise, he would be headed down a one-way path to death.
She was doing this for his sake, to save his life.
After all, she didn’t really want to have to remove her own kidney and give it to him.
Even though she would make the sa decision as her past life if it ca down to it, why not avoid it if she can?
Why resort to the knife if it isn’t necessary?
Why must she endure a blade incision if it’s not absolutely required?
Tang Yuxin took a sip of water and passed the water bottle to Gu Ning.
They no longer had to worry about whose water it was or whose turn it was to drink.
In tis like these, such trivial matters were unnecessary.
Their lives were all in danger.
After the two of them had eaten a bag of snacks and had so water, Tang Yuxin hid the water again.
She hid her food and other supplies exceptionally well.
This was a precaution she took after soone stole from her yesterday.
At a ti like this, food was everything.

Once Gu Ning reached the landslide, Tang Yuxin knew he had to do sothing.
Even if a tunnel collapsed, it wouldn’t be an easy task to fix it, but he still wanted to try.
As for Tang Yuxin, she went to check on her patients, especially the one with internal bleeding.
She didn’t have many options but to sohow help him live longer.
He only needed to hold on for a few more days, just until rescuers arrived.
She pulled out her needle pack, which she always carried with her.
It was part of the reason she didn’t like to travel by plane because needles were considered dangerous and not allowed on board.
Since she had been carrying the needle pack since she was a child, she was very attached to it and wouldn’t give it up unless absolutely necessary.
Thankfully, she had brought her needle pack.
Otherwise, these n would probably have died here from their illnesses.
She gave them a little bit of water.
Luckily, even though the patient was unconscious, he still instinctively drank it.
Once this patient finished drinking, she gave water to the other patients.
All these patients were severely injured; one with a broken leg bone, another with a broken arm bone, and another with a large area of skin tears.
Such injuries wouldn’t be considered severe in a hospital, but without any dication here, all they could do was endure and wait.
They had initially accepted their fate and were waiting for death.
In the beginning, those who weren’t injured still took care of them and gave them so of their scarce food.
But as ti passed, everyone beca tired, scared, and numb, so no one bothered to help them anymore.
They were left to survive on their own.
If it weren’t for Tang Yuxin’s tily arrival and her being a doctor, if it weren’t for her willingness to share her water, they might have died here.
“Doctor, thank you.”
The man with the broken bone looked at her with red eyes, only now realizing the preciousness of life, the aning of a soldier, and what it ans to be a real guardian angel.
Tang Yuxin rely smiled and moved on to the next patient.
All these patients were good people.
But there was such a food shortage now, and Tang Yuxin didn’t have much left.
She only had a few packs, which she was saving for Gu Ning.
Therefore, she was sorry that she couldn’t give them her last bit of food.
As for water, they still had a bottle left.
Each of the patients got a small sip from the bottle.
They didn’t drink much.
After making its round among the critically injured patients here, about half of the water was still left.
Tang Yuxin looked at the sky overhead.
The weather was indeed gloomy, and the wind blowing on her body seed even colder.
Her mood started to dampen with the increasing wind.
If the wind was strong, it might not rain.
She opened the bottle and put it in front of a patient.
But just as the patient was about to drink it, a hand reached out from nowhere and snatched the water bottle from Tang Yuxin’s hand.
Tang Yuxin quickly turned around and grabbed the water bottle back without thinking.
This water was ant for these patients.
She and Gu Ning had refrained from drinking much of it themselves.
The patients, thinking about those who were more severely injured, hadn’t drunk much either.
Who could be so shaless?
“Give it to ,” a woman screeched, nearly piercing Tang Yuxin’s eardrums.
“You wretch, give the water.
They are all dying anyway, why do they need water?
This water is mine.”
As she spoke, she pushed Tang Yuxin and snatched the water bottle, hastily pouring it into her mouth before Tang Yuxin could react,
“Leave so,” another woman rushed over and the two won started fighting over the bottle.
They scratched each other’s faces and pulled each other’s hair in desperation.
If Tang Yuxin were asked if she knew these two won, she would have to regretfully admit that she did.
