Chapter 1008: River
Seeing Bai Jianbai go back with the little person in his arms, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaoyu looked at Bai Xiao with adoring eyes.
"Doctor Bai, you are amazing. ”
Bai Xiao squinted, this girl!
"Pack your things, we're going to the next stockade. ”
They are on the road today, and they will probably reach another village in the evening.
Dr. Zhang also smiled and packed his things, because of the baby's affairs, this time they had experience, and specially prepared more things, even a scalpel.
It is impossible to do complex and large surgeries, but some simple surgical wounds must be done if they need to be cut and treated.
You can't rush to the hospital in the middle of the night with a patient like you did yesterday.
Once is considered inexperienced, if something like this happens again, they can't do nothing and rush on the road.
After bringing everything together, the three of them continued to set off.
Originally, there were two teams, one facing east and one facing west.
Each direction covers more than a dozen stockades.
The three of them were facing west, and they returned to the hospital after walking the first village.
This time they were going to the village, which was much farther than the Xinzhai they had just gone, and if they went down from the Xinzhai, they would have to climb over a hill and a big river to get to the next village, and there was no road at all here, and all the roads were mountain roads.
These so-called mountain roads are also only made by people who have walked for a long time, but in fact, there is no real developed road.
The so-called road construction to get rich is not realistic here, and the people here simply cannot afford to build roads.
The three of them carried heavy luggage and embarked on a new journey.
This time, when they walked to the intersection outside Xinzhai, they just glanced at the village with smoke from afar, and the three of them continued to walk.
Although the mountain road is rugged, because of the toss back and forth several times, they have gradually adapted to walking the mountain road.
Although Bai Xiao was tired and didn't want to speak, nor did she want to think, she hadn't walked such a road for a long time, but compared to the mountain roads on the border and the cold guns and cannons that appeared at any time, this place was already like a paradise.
Seeing that Dr. Zhang was tired and out of breath, she and Xiaoyu almost pushed Dr. Zhang forward.
Otherwise, the old man would probably actually sit on the ground.
At this age, it is indeed difficult for him to walk such a mountain road and carry such a heavy weight.
But there was no way, if they didn't get to the village before it got dark, then they might be in more trouble than that.
With the current combat strength of the three of them, if they encounter a beast, they will be waiting to feed others.
Finally, when it was already dark, they walked to the river.
According to Xiaoyu, as long as they cross the river, there is a village on the opposite side, so it can be said that they will enter the village station immediately, and they can get safe shelter.
But when Bai Xiao saw this river, he wanted to die.
In her mind, she originally thought it was a small river, but now she sees such a rushing river.
Suddenly, in her heart, she really began to admire Dean Li and the doctors and daughters he led for sticking to this place so hard.
They only come to do it once in a while, and Dean Lu has to do this kind of long journey many times a year, and he has no regrets.
That's what I admire the most.
This path, which was indistinguishable to the naked eye of Bai Xiao and Dr. Zhang, led them directly to the water's edge.
The water cuts into a thin gorge, which is very narrow at less than 20 meters wide, but the banks on both sides are very high, causing the river to be quite turbulent.
The rapid flow of water churned over the rocks at the bottom, splashing white foam, steaming white splashes on the surface of the water, and occasionally stirring up a string of diamond-like sparkling droplets.
Unfortunately, this is not the time to enjoy the view.
Xiaoyu led them along the river bank for a short distance, and the sound of the rushing water seemed to get louder and louder, and the current gradually narrowed until the width of the river was only about ten meters wide.
She stopped, raised her voice and told them, "We're crossing the river here." ”
Bai Xiao looked at the empty river, there might have been a bridge on it, but now he couldn't see anything except for something that used to be a bridge pillar.
And Xiaoyu is talking about crossing the river?
How to cross the river?
Xiaoyu clasped her palms together and shouted at the other side, a language they didn't understand.
Then she noticed a small wooden hut on the other side of the river.
Hehe, "wooden house" is also too flattering to describe.
It was a humble dwelling made of rough splints and affixed with a black tar cloth.
It is clear that nature is trying to reclaim its own territory, as moss has grown around the slab houses and vines hang from the roofs.
The black tar paper forms an excellent camouflage with the plants, leaking out of the wooden house, where there is almost only a small window and a chimney made of rough stone.
Otherwise, Bai Xiao wouldn't have found out at all just now.
After a minute, the rough door finally opened, and a gray-haired head poked out.
The man looked at them suspiciously for a while, and finally fixed his eyes on Xiaoyu.
Her presence seemed to put his mind at ease, and he let go of the door and walked out, an old man of several decades.
"Xiaoyu, you're coming to see a doctor again? I don't know these two people this time?"
While greeting Xiaoyu, and then pulling the handle, a fifteen-meter wooden pillar suddenly fell from the sky next to two towering trees in front of the wooden house, this is a log, a log without any decoration, and even the bark is there.
"This is the new city doctor, let's go to the village to see if there is anything that needs treatment. ”
The pillar must have been heavy, but the old man's hand twisted the rope and leveled it out with ease.
He placed one end of the post in a groove dug in the riverbank, then knelt down and let the other end tilt and fix it to the corresponding end.
"That's it," he said. "Come here!"
"Xiaoyu, why do you want to do this, isn't the wooden pillar convenient for people passing by on both sides of the strait?" Bai Xiao was puzzled.
Xiaoyu said with a smile, "This river has not yet reached the real rainy season, otherwise when it rains, the river will skyrocket, and then any bridge will be washed away.
Put it down when you use it, put it away when you don't use it, and it will save the destruction, and the people here can't afford to build a second bridge. ”
Hop on the stump with ease and walk briskly forward.
"Don't worry, if you fall, I'll go down and save you. ”
Xiaoyu said mischievously to Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao looked at the wooden pillar, although it was enough for two people to stand up, but because it was circular, he challenged everyone standing on it, looking at the bubbling turbulent water under the wooden pillar, he had some difficulty breathing, and took a deep breath. "I'm ready. Hopefully I don't need you to jump down and save me. ”
