Chapter 73 “Rescue” Drugs

Author: Cucumber mixed with lettuce

The doctors on the medical team are extremely experienced, and after seeing Dad's condition, they gave a rough conclusion.

Dad had a stroke.

We described Dad’s recent symptoms and physical condition. The doctor determined that there were other complications, but he was not sure what the disease was.

After hearing this conclusion, I was startled. Sihan's father also suffered a stroke before and has been lying in bed since then...

But the people on the medical team told us not to worry, as they had a history of recovering stroke patients before.

But the needed medicines are still on the long-distance vehicle and need to be dug out after the avalanche passes before they can be used.

I asked if there was a time limit for taking the medicine, and the doctor said the sooner the better.

We ran down the mountain again and asked the rescue team about the avalanche conditions they observed. The collapse was still continuing outside. If we dug out the snow on the edge of the safety fortress now, more snow might flow in. We

We can only wait for the avalanche to end.

"Don't worry, the medical team is here now..." Jia Yang kept comforting me. I was anxious and couldn't hear what he said next.

But because I didn’t have enough sleep and was always on the road, I suddenly suffered from low blood sugar and felt dizzy for a while.

Jiayang carried me back to the yurt and let me have a good rest.

I sobered up briefly and heard everyone telling me to take care of my body so that I could do more.

I thought about it, I need enough rest time to have normal thinking ability, I have to rest well first, so I fell asleep.

…

In my sleep, there was a constant thunderous sound, which was probably the sound of snow falling on the dome.

Mother and Jiayang's mother got up early, but there was no dazzling light after opening the door curtain.

The snow on the dome blocks the light here, and the solar panels cannot work to generate electricity, just like a sick father.

When I woke up in the morning and opened the door curtain, there was no longer a biting cold wind. The wind here was blocked by the dome.

The grass here is wilting because there is no sunlight.

Such an environment always makes people depressed.

Was having breakfast.

Jia Yang said: "I'll go down the mountain later and see how the situation is."

I nodded. Yesterday, the doctor also said that the sooner we get the medicine, the better.

But we didn't have the right tools, so we walked towards the yurt and met several herders.

The herders didn't speak Mandarin very well, so we communicated with them and they understood what we were about to do.

The herdsmen were very enthusiastic. Not only did they lend us their shovels, they also called many herdsmen to come together to "rescue" the medicine that was trapped in the snow.

We opened the door of the security fortress, and there was extremely thick snow outside. The snow was clean and white.

I asked Jia Yang: "Jia Yang, can this snow be used as water to drink?"

Jia Yang shook his head and said he was not sure whether the water quality here was drinkable.

However, the snow here is also a huge source of water resources. Although it cannot be used for drinking directly, we have been relatively short on water recently. It can probably be used to wipe the body or wash things.

Our thoughts are just thoughts after all.

Because the snow outside was really too thick, after we dug the snow into the safety fortress, the actions of the large troops made the snow black, dirty, and full of mud.

The water left in this way is also not very clean.

Several wells were drilled in the security fortress, and all we have been drinking is groundwater.

The process of digging out snow is extremely long.

The snow outside is difficult to melt and the temperature is extremely low. Although we worked hard, our hands were still frozen to death.

Shovel after shovel...

Shovel after shovel...

We don't know how long we dug, but with everyone's help, we finally found another vehicle of the medical team.

This vehicle was originally loaded with medical equipment. They had loaded and unloaded some, but there were still some machines inside. Now they need to move the machines out.

Our car was parked far away and it would take a long time to dig.

We decided to eat first and regain some strength before continuing to work.

The fingers have been frozen, hard and red, and there are many small wounds. They cannot bend well.

I picked up the dishes my mother cooked, but the dishes fell off the tips of the chopsticks.

The situation of Jia Yang and others was similar. In the end, we all ended up eating with our hands.

But because there was a small cut on my finger, the seasoning in the meal probably contained salt, which stung the nerves.

We ate a few sloppy meals and immediately started digging out the snow again.

When doing physical work, it is difficult for the brain to think. Although the snow blocks the wind and snow outside, a lot of cold air is still poured into the throat, making people have to open their mouths to breathe.

The nose, ears, mouth... were all red from the cold.

The space outside has been dug bigger and bigger by us. Dozens of people were originally crowded into a small space, but now they are spread out.

The sore muscles forced me to stop what I was doing, and I looked back at everyone.

Everyone was bending over and digging away at the snow, one shovel after another.

The brain that stopped thinking begins to return.

I squatted down and touched the snow on the ground. The snow here was different from the snow I had seen when traveling before. The snow here was thick and hard, and seemed to be difficult to melt.

I took off my gloves and put the snow in my hands to warm it, but it had no effect at all. The snow showed no sign of melting into water.

Is the temperature not enough?

I began to have doubts in my heart.

What could it be if it weren't snow?

After resting for a while, I felt my whole body getting warm, and I decided to keep digging.

I remember that the car was parked in the northwest direction, and my position was facing the northwest, so I kept shoveling forward.

The people behind me will continue to shovel the snow piles I left behind, following my footsteps, until they reach the entrance of the safety fortress, and the people inside will be responsible for clearing away the snow.

The further we go outside, the colder the air feels, and our bodies have become very warm due to long-term labor. But the further outside we go, the more cold air I feel, wrapping my body around me.

It felt like there was a force pressing on my heart, making me breathless.

When I first came here, I felt I had some altitude sickness, but after living for a few months, the symptoms of altitude sickness have become less and less obvious. Now, it's like a strong altitude sickness is looking for me with a delay.

Suddenly, I dug out a pack of medical masks. It seemed that the long-distance bus was parked not far away!

I turned around excitedly to look for Jia Yang.

"Jia Yang! The long-distance bus is right here!" I shouted loudly.

"Don't shout!" Someone in the distance said to me.

After a while, I heard a roar, the snow next to me began to loosen, and the less solid wall began to loosen.

It felt like something hit me on the head.
