There wasn't much that could be said over the phone, just the words 'I'm back,' which spoke volumes.
After hanging up the call with her mom, Sang Que dialed Professor Ye's number, still only saying 'I'm back.' A sound of a teacup being knocked over came from that side.
With a trembling voice, Professor Ye asked precisely where Sang Que was and told her to stay put, assuring her that someone would be arranged to pick her up immediately.
Sang Que looked toward the area where the injured were temporarily being treated and said she would wait there.
Returning the phone, Sang Que walked directly toward a tent that had been temporarily set up.
The doctors and nurses were in charge of medical care, and Sang Que was tasked with delivering water to the injured.
Carrying a bottle of water with one hand, Sang Que hurried between the tents.
This earthquake was around a magnitude six, and this was a small county; mostly, the houses that collapsed were ones built by local residents.
