Chapter 167: A Surprise Discovery
Lao He came back soon, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he should have had a good chat......
Only the call time is really short, only five or six minutes after coming back on Monday, she will follow back, and the calculation of the time can be understood, at this time I am afraid that it is more than twelve o'clock in the morning in China.
Then, after coming back, Lao He had no plans to watch a movie.
Maybe she really hates piracy, or she doesn't want to look back at the clips she has acted, who knows? I haven't experienced her profession, and others don't know what kind of mentality actors have when they treat their own works.
After the sun sets, the night fills in quickly.
Halfway through the movie, the sky was already dark, but the heavy rain didn't mean to stop at all, and this kind of weather is really a bit unusual in the dry season.
By the time the movie ended, both Delia and Dan's faces showed a little worry.
"If the weather doesn't clear tomorrow, the mountain road will not be able to walk, and the rainy day will have a big impact on the injuries of those children. ”
I have been injected with tetanus and anti-inflammatory injections before, but it is not foolproof.
Wounds take time to heal, and infections can occur throughout the healing period, which is the worst time.
After all, the old witches of the tribe know ......
When the sun god shines, the circumcision ceremony to expel evil can be performed.
The haze and dampness will bring the demons of death to come.
"It's really not good, I'll go and see it alone. "Dan has the confidence and ability to go through the jungle in the rain.
Delia didn't agree: "No, the land and mountains in the rainforest are not reliable, landslides and subsidence often occur, you can't take risks...... Let's wait and see, maybe tomorrow the weather will be clear. ”
The geology of Africa is very complex, the continental plate is loose, the famous African Rift Valley is not just one, but all over many parts of Africa, and every year there are new fissures, subsidence, and the entire plate is constantly moving.
The big thing, that is the process of the earth's crust movement for millions of years, but in terms of the small aspect, the jungle in the heavy rain, it is better not to set foot in it, subsidence, landslides are only one aspect, if you get lost in the rain, it is enough to choke, it will kill people.
Dan was helpless, so he could only nod: "You are the boss, you say it." ”
Delia then said to Zhou Yi: "Zhou, if it doesn't rain, the operation will not be able to go ahead as scheduled, you must be clear about this. ”
"Understood. "The operation mode of the surgical vehicle relies on its own engine to drive the equipment to run, not to mention the damage to the machine in the heavy rain, and the transfer of postoperative patients is a big problem, so you can't let the patient get wet in the rain, right?
After everyone finished drinking, they thought they would be a little happier, but they didn't expect to be more and more helpless, so they could only pray for tomorrow and the heavens would be beautiful.
……
Following.
Wake up from your sleep and let in the morning light.
The palm skins of the eaves were still dripping with water, but looking at the clear sky, the rain had stopped.
Dan had already woken up, sat on the porch and listened to the scenery after the rain, and when he heard the movement, he looked back and smiled: "Good day." ”
"Well, good day. ”
Get up.
Delia and Lao He hadn't woken up yet, and Dan wanted to go to the jungle to see the road conditions, so he simply brought a kettle, went to the water source to fetch water, and accompanied him on Monday.
After a heavy rain, the soil on the ground fed into the village's water reservoir, causing it to be so turbid that even the villagers were reluctant to use it.
The road to the water source was muddy, and when I walked out of it, I felt like my feet were filled with lead and my shoes were filled with mud inside and out, but Dan was very optimistic about the scene: "Actually, the mud is only on the surface, and the deep soil is not completely softened, and at most in a day, the hot sun will evaporate the water of the mud, and this is the case in the rainforest." ”
What's more, it's still a hot summer, and the rainforest's water vapor self-circulation system is very strong.
After returning from fetching water, Lao He and the others also woke up.
Zyrael was wearing a new dress, she couldn't do it happily, she always had a smile on her face, and she walked and twisted, she was much more beautiful than the children in the village.
"Let's boil rice cereal, there is not much water, and the patient still needs to use it, so let's eat the sick meal with the patient." ”
Concentrated fire area, smoke filled.
After lighting the dry firewood in the villagers' homes, they always have to add wet firewood to it, making half of the village smoky, and the conditions are so difficult.
As usual, the patients were served for food first, and the four of them plus a child were eaten, and then the meal began.
"How's the road?" asked Delia, Dan.
Dan immediately said: "You can set off at noon, but you will definitely not be able to go fast on the road, and it will be very late in the evening when you get to the Mulle Department." ”
"That's going too. Delia said. "Let's go this time, Zhou still has to have surgery, let Rebecca stay to help him...... Zhou, you have had a surgical experience, you should already be familiar with the equipment, right?"
The device is definitely familiar......
But Zhou Yi didn't want to perform the operation independently, he originally wanted Delia to be in charge.
But she still has her own affairs, the children of the Muller Department, who are in critical condition and need to be dealt with.
Zhou Zhou thought for a while and said, "I'm not in a hurry to operate, I want to go and see the children first." ”
"But you're gone, what about the other patients?"
Lao He immediately said: "And me, I will stay, Zhou is a doctor, and he can help in the past, he is much more valuable than me going." ”
With that, the matter is settled.
Monday, Delia, and Dan went to the Mule Department, and He Congshuang stayed at the base camp.
As for the surgical patients, they are not in a hurry, it is okay to wait for two or three days, and Lao He will slang, easy to communicate, Monday is very blind here, last time Ahsan left in the morning, if it wasn't for Delia and they would have come back in the evening, Monday still doesn't know what to do, all by gestures can communicate, but this also means that there is no one who can talk and chat.
It was noon.
After a simple lunch, there was no time to take a nap, and the three of them went on the road non-stop.
Speed up as fast as you can, otherwise it will be harder to walk the more you get into the evening.
Along.
It was muddy, and it was difficult at first, but after gradually getting used to it, Zhou Sheng understood Dan's analysis of the road conditions, and the deep soil was indeed not soaked and softened, as long as he paid attention to the posture of pumping his feet and falling, except for some effort, it would not be too difficult to walk.
And Dan took over most of the supplies, even if it was Zhou Yi, it was much lighter than the last time he carried the load.
During the jungle trek, the speed of time passing seems to be slowed down because it is so difficult that you only want to reach your destination in an instant.
However, when it got dark, I felt that time was passing too fast and I couldn't see the road, and my speed was greatly reduced again.
But, thankfully......
At ten o'clock in the evening, the three-person team came to the Mule Department without danger.
During this period, I only experienced two accidental slips and falls when I was climbing the mountain, and there were no big twists and turns overall.
It's dark at night.
At this time, it is not good to disturb the families, so I can only sleep first with apprehension.
The Muller Department is not the Gray Worm Department, and it is difficult to borrow some water here, so the three of them can only take rags, wipe the mud off their feet, and then sleep against the stench.
The next day.
After visiting the house from house to house, the three breathed a sigh of relief......
For a few days, the children's injuries stabilized and there was no deterioration.
Even though most people think that the old witch's blessing worked, the women of each family knew what the three of Delia had done for them.
The magic of outsiders, they are convinced.
So, when Delia came to the chieftain and discussed with him, the other party's attitude softened-
"I vaguely heard that the 'sacrifices' outside are very powerful, and the pills they make have magical powers, for example, the chiefs of the hyena department have many such pills, and when their direct and collateral descendants need to be circumcised, they will take them and sometimes sell them to others. ”
At first listen, the crowd still couldn't react......
But as soon as I thought about it, I was even more surprised.
Is there a tribe in the jungle that has Western medicine and antibiotics?
Isn't it a place where there is no communication with the outside world?
The chief was also unaware of the situation, so he did not continue to dwell on it......
"However, judging by the strength of your performance, I agree that you will take over the circumcision ceremony, and that the high priest will be on hand to oversee it, one thing...... What happened last time is not allowed to happen again, otherwise, people who do not respect our etiquette will no longer be friends of the Mule Department!!"
