Before long, the neighboring companions made their way to the bus.
Hua Mi stepped onto the bus to take a look around and, from her large shoulder bag, she fetched several pieces of oilcloth for the Garrison, speaking very politely,
"Would you mind taking out all the seats from this bus and covering every nook and cranny with this oilcloth? Just to make sure no rain or draft gets in."
Then, turning to Ye Rong and the others who had carried Tang You onto the bus, Hua Mi instructed,
"Clean Tang You up a bit, apply some ethanol, pain relief powder, and hemostatic gel."
While speaking, Hua Mi took these items out of her bag.
Under her direction, everyone was bustling about. Xiao Fu watched the Garrison tear out the bus seats; she hurried forward, laying down the waterproof oilcloth Hua Mi had given her, and she spread out two beautifully woven straw mats made by her mother, Ye Rong, on the ground.
