Chapter 133 The deadline has come
In the Gobi Desert in early autumn, five prisoner carts slowly drove in the endless sea of sand, and they had been walking in this deserted ghost place for 12 days.
In the prison car, no one knows where they are going?
Outside the prisoner car, no one knew how they were going to go, and Xie Cha got lost!
No one knows what fate awaits them.
In the vast Gobi, even though the five-day journey has been doubled, there is still no debate, no road, and no hope......
A team of more than 100 people is just a grain of sand on this boundless Gobi, not much more, and no less than him.
The bumps along the way, the lack of water and food, and the uncertain future......
I don't know which trick Gongsun made, he fell ill again, and it was very serious!
Of course, Gongsun is not the sickest, let alone the only one.
Some people were sick before they set off, and now that I think it's an infectious disease, who knows?! The only thing that is certain is that many people have died along the way.
There are no specific figures.
Actually, there is, the number of people was counted before departure, and now the point will only be easier, but no one wants to know.
You don't need to know, you can see it at a glance!
At first, each prison cart was packed with people, like canned sardines. People can only stand upright, one next to the other, and there is no room to change positions.
However, as the disease raged, the prison cart gradually became looser. In a few days, some of the prisoner cars will even be able to sit in people.
Many able-bodied people fell ill and even died, not to mention the frail grandsons!
Fortunately, there were quite a few doctors in the prison car, which is not unusual. The five prisoner cars were full of poor people who could read and write, except for Mr. Teacher, Mr. Storyteller, Mr. Bookkeeper, and Mr. Word Measurement...... It's normal to have seven or eight doctors.
One of the best medical skills is surnamed Ye, and everyone affectionately calls him Ye Erlang.
Maybe Ye Erlang is not the best in medicine, but he is in good health, has never fallen ill, and knows some herbs. Whenever the prison cart stopped, he would pick herbs nearby and cook them for the sick.
No one knew that these medicinal soups would work, and the patients were still dying one after another, but Ye Erlang and his medicine were everyone's hope after all, the only hope that could be seen and grasped in this unknown desert.
Of course, the treatment of people who become hope is also different, others eat thin, Erlang can eat dry, others have no water and thirst, Erlang naturally has water to drink...... Anyone can starve to death, but Erlang cannot.
What about poor people? If you are poor, you will not get sick?
Later, the divine doctor Ye Erlang proposed another method, which seemed to point out a way out for everyone. He offered to separate all the sick from the healthy and concentrate them in three prison vans.
Qing'er knew that what Ye Erlang said was right, but how could she rest assured that Gongsun was alone?
Maybe Gongsun didn't have the same disease, maybe he could still be saved?! Gongsun was the first to fall ill, and all those who contracted the disease at the same time as him died, with the only exception!
Therefore, Qing'er guessed that Gongsun was not suffering from an infectious disease, he was just too weak, and he was already like this when he was born!
Qing'er and Ye Erlang argued, and the result of the dispute was that Qing'er and Gongsun got into the sick prisoner's car together.
Every time Ye Erlang distributes medicine, Qing'er will feed it to Gongsun, this medicine may not cure the disease, but at least it can't kill people, patients with medicine will always feel at ease, Gongsun is not as sober as usual now, and it is always good to have a sustenance in a daze.
At this time, Dr. Su, who was in the same car, would snort arrogantly from his nose. He never talks to Qing'er, and he can even say that he ignores her, he seems to be the same to everyone in the car.
He himself never drank Ye Erlang's medicinal soup, but he didn't have any other medicine to eat, just stiff resistance. At first, the patient in the same car kindly persuaded him to drink medicine, but he only rolled his strange eyes and didn't even bother to reply.
For this reason, Niu Da was very unpleasant, sneering at some gossip from time to time, laughing at his own inability to cure strange diseases, and he was not convinced of Erlang's ability, he was simply jealous of his ability!
Of course, Niu Da's own words are not so elegant, extremely vulgar, and they are very conspicuous among these literate and hyphenated people.
He was illiterate, and he was originally a messenger on this trip, but he was also locked up in a prison car because of his illness. Probably because of the lack of contact between the poor and the sick, he was the only one who contracted the disease.
However, since his illness, no one has treated him as an errand man, only calling him "Niu Da". After all, he was also locked up in a prison car, and no one had ever sent to see him these days, he was only a patient now!
If there is anyone in this car who can be looked up to by everyone, it is only Qing'er. For no other reason than because she was the only healthy person in the car!
Everyone knows what fate awaits them, and everyone will eventually ask for Qing'er to a greater or lesser extent, because they will eventually be robbed of their last dignity by the disease, and they will eventually become unable to even raise their hands.
Regarding the dispute between Niu Da and Dr. Su, Qing'er did not participate.
She doesn't believe in Ye Erlang's medicine in her bones, this Gobi doesn't grow an inch of grass, not to mention that the green plants that occasionally survive are just the medicine for curing diseases, which is a suspicious coincidence.
However, she understood the mental effects of these decoctions on the patient, so she chose to remain silent.
But deep down, Qing'er is more inclined to trust Dr. Su, although I don't know how good his medical skills are, at least it is much more reliable than Ye Erlang, who eats and drinks.
Therefore, Qing'er often silently helps Mr. Su, his body is so poor that he even struggles to sit up, but he never asks for help.
When Qing'er saw it, she would quietly help him make a bowl of porridge, or divide half of the snatched dry biscuits...... It's just a small favor, but she knows that Dr. Su is very grateful.
Although this Mr. Su didn't say half a word of thanks, Qing'er just knew. Because she is also equally proud, she also does not like to ask for help, she understands the thoughts of such people too well.
A little too much help will attract disgust and make the other party feel that it is a kind of "charity", so Qing'er is just silent, casual, and never quiet.
For the sake of her grandson, she wants to entrap this doctor.
Although she didn't like this man, she thought he was perverse, self-righteous, and arrogant...... However, in order to leave a way back for her grandson, she endured it all.
Qing'er is not this kind of scheming person, but for the sake of her grandson, she did it!
It's a pity that it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. Qing'er thought too much, and Gongsun seemed to be unable to wait for Mr. Su to show his skills.
He was in a coma for longer and longer, and his whole body became softer and softer, and he couldn't even sit still. In the past two days, I have added the symptoms of babbling, and there are three names that are often called in my mouth: Qing'er, Xixi, and Uncle Zhong.
Qing'er cried and dried her tears, and even prepared for the worst. She understands that she has all the strength now, but all she can do is accompany him through the last part of his life, so that he will not be so lonely. (To be continued.) )
