Chapter 188: Sandstorm

Kuanku, a large province in the southeast region of Ancarbin.

Yellow sand wilderness, inaccessible.

The local people mainly live on animal husbandry, but in fact, the scale of animal husbandry is not large, only a small number of aborigines live by grazing cattle and sheep, only enough food and clothing, not enough to talk about making money, and the herdsmen in China are far from the herdsmen.

This is the place where Tang Yi and Tong Han helped and assisted.

......

Rewind to a week ago.

When the sand struck suddenly, the team had to follow the herders to evacuate the sandstorm.

Nearly a month later, they had become accustomed to it, but the sandstorm was a rarity, and the herdsmen begged the gods for forgiveness before setting out.

Dark all round......

The camel team is guarded in front and back, the cattle and sheep are wrapped in the middle, and the livestock of the grassland have long been spiritual, and in the face of natural disasters, the livestock know to follow the guidance of the 'camel brother', otherwise they will only be buried in the yellow sand.

The only two dozen camels rode as closely as possible to the patients admitted by the medical team, and the rest of the people had to brave the wind and sand.

Everything went on as in the previous transitions, and there was already experience, but everyone seemed to be orderly in the panic.

But the scale of the wind and sand is too large......

They soon lost six or seven lambs, but they were also unable to recover.

The frightened camel kicked the patriarch's beloved sheepdog, and could only hold back tears and continue to move forward to avoid the disaster.

That moment.

Life seems incomparably small in the face of nature.

In order to survive, everyone can only choose to give up other things, discard the forage reserved for cattle and sheep for emergencies, discard heavy pots and bowls, and after discarding many things, the speed of travel is greatly accelerated, away from the storm circle, and constantly approaching the distant valley little by little.

Finally.

They survived.

Everyone was gray-faced, and some people's masked scarves had already been blown away, so their faces were full of blood stains one after another, but outside the wind howling circle, everyone's expressions were all smiles for the rest of their lives.

Count the number of people, and none of them are lost.

It's just that the medical team has no medicine, the cattle and sheep have no fodder, and the women have lost their beloved cooking pots, and they have suffered heavy losses.

The patriarch brought cheese and a handful of jerky, at least everyone had something to eat.

"Is there any water?"

I don't feel satisfied when I'm hungry.

After a long journey in the wind and sand, everyone lost a lot of water in their bodies, countless people were dry, and the astringency of dried cheese and dried meat made their throats seem to be pulled by straw in their esophagus after swallowing.

Everyone hurriedly looked for water, but the result was laughable......

"Damn, which bastard threw the hydration bag too?"

Everyone looked at each other, with a bitter smile on their faces, and there was absolutely no joy in suffering, just a feeble pale banter.

Without water, the risks to the herders are no less than the dreaded sandstorms.

But who are you really going to blame? Impossible!

In the panic, no one can take care of so much, it may be that the water bag is lost by mistake, or the wind and sand may blow off the rope that binds several water bags, this is not a human error, but a destiny.

But there's no end to it.

They also have a large number of cattle and sheep......

"Hurry up and milk the cows and stock them up, it's enough for us to get through this devilish storm. ”

Every herder is an expert at survival in the desert wilderness.

With a low roar from the patriarch, everyone acted happily, although milk could not quench thirst, but it could replenish the water needed by the human body, as long as they survived the sandstorm, they could reach the nearest market town in a day and rereplenish it.

None of the medical team was idle during the process.

The patients who were admitted needed to be taken care of, and they were all in a very bad state after experiencing the baptism of wind and sand.

Tang Yi and Tong Han led the herbalists to be busy, comforting the patients one by one, so that they could sleep comfortably in a bad environment as much as possible and recover their strength.

Almost a month.

The medical team has gained a high level of prestige within this small herder community.

The herdsmen looked at them with respect, and of course, without the group members begging, the women and children immediately brought milk and goat's milk to quench their thirst.

When two bowls of warm milk were delivered to Tang Yi and Tong Han......

Both of them laughed, this was the reward and respect for their efforts.

They made local ceremonial gestures to express their gratitude, but Tong Han smelled the smell of milk, and he couldn't taste it, the fresh milk tasted very strong, which was equivalent to the taste of the cattle and sheep themselves.

She didn't drink it, but Tang Yi was very thirsty, and the cow drank it, and followed the example of the locals, and boldly wiped the remnants of the corners of her mouth with her sleeve, which attracted a cheer.

The wind and sand come and go quickly.

After severe convective weather, light rain falls like a gift......

Knowing that the rain did not leave a trace on the ground, the herdsmen showed their talents, and it only took one night to collect enough water, and the next morning, the broth was boiled to replenish their physical strength and spirit, and they planned to go to the market town to rest for a while and replenish it.

Before coming to the pastoral area.

Tong Han never imagined that such a young and delicate pig girl would one day be able to endure the wind and eat and sleep in the open wilderness all night, without washing or makeup, her face was rough, and her skin was cracked......

When all this becomes the norm, any desire becomes a delusion, and all that is possessed is the most primitive, the pursuit of survival.

Woken up by the women in the team, Tong Han checked on the patient's condition before setting off as usual.

After walking around alone, she suddenly realized that something was wrong......

The herbalists are doing their job, but there is one less.

"What about Professor Tang?"

Asked the herb doctor, the others just shook their heads: "I don't know, Professor Tang may not have woken up yet." ”

Tong Han felt strange that after following the guidance to Tang Yi's earthen bag where he was resting, Professor Tang was indeed motionless in his sleeping bag.

As a doctor, of course, you have sensitivity to diseases.

Tong Han noticed that something was wrong, and came to Tang Yi's side with two steps and called: "Professor Tang, Professor Tang......"

Tang Yi was awakened, opened his eyes in a daze, and smiled: "Tong Han, oops, I may have been a little tired yesterday, I felt a little cold, my whole body was weak, I couldn't get up for half a day just now, come on...... Isn't it time for you to help me?"

Tong Han touched Professor Tang's head and made sure that he didn't have a fever, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me, we can't get sick...... When we get to the market town this time, let's have a good rest for a few days. ”

"Yesterday's sandstorm frightened a cow, and the patriarch gave it mercy, so we boiled the broth, let's go drink some of it, and then you will have another cold medicine. ”

Herders have a rare empathy for their livestock, and if they can't survive, they don't want their animals to continue to suffer, and they give mercy in the form of death.

Timid cattle and sheep will indeed have a stress reaction after being frightened, just like people, they will be scared to death when they are frightened.

After Tang Yi got up, Tong Han helped him pack his bags.

The two had breakfast with everyone and set out on the way back.

But no one could have imagined......

In the middle of the journey, someone fell on the road.

- Tang Yi's condition has worsened.
