Chapter XXIII
There are really a lot of children in the village, they are all timidly hiding behind the adults, secretly looking at a few strangers, Li Ming beckoned to a few bear children, and then took out a handful of candy cubes, with a big bad wolf expression on his face, luring a group of children.
Finally, a boy couldn't stand it, ran over in a few steps, grabbed a piece of candy and ran, and the children who took the lead came over one by one, in the end, they were children, and they became familiar with Li Ming after a while. The adults in the village also smiled with satisfaction when they saw Li Ming's gentle appearance.
The old man kicked and kicked a group of bear children away, led Li Ming and them into a grass hut, everyone sat on the ground, and the old man led a group of village men to look at Li Ming with anticipation.
Li Ming also knew that this place was deserted and isolated, and there was an extreme lack of materials, so he could only come here through some traveling merchants to exchange some necessities with them, so he also regarded Li Ming as a traveling merchant who came here to trade.
Seeing that these people were very urgent, Li Ming untied the backpack behind him and took out some small modern goods, which were a batch of knives, scissors, needles and threads and other iron tools specially prepared by the expedition team, as well as some simple small hardware tools.
The old man and the man in the village were stunned when they saw these things, Li Ming smiled and showed them one by one, Liu Handong translated on the side, and after only a while, the whole village was in chaos, and even the old ladies of each family couldn't sit still at home.
Li Ming and the others came to the outside of the house and put everything on the ground, if anyone wanted to change it, they would put the mountain goods he brought in front of that thing, and they would keep increasing, until Li Ming nodded, and the deal was officially reached.
A beautifully crafted sewing kit set containing a pair of scissors, a set of various types of sewing needles, two thimbles, an awl, and a variety of beautiful colors of silk thread can be exchanged for a lot of wild fungus, hazel mushrooms, and a lot of dried fish. A delicate electrician's knife can be exchanged for a mink, and a good steel axe can be exchanged for an old ginseng.
Song Tao pulled Li Ming vigorously, and said hurriedly: "Big brother, it's almost enough, it's not easy for them to get these mountain goods, you're too dark." ”
Li Ming glanced at Song Tao, patted him on the shoulder and said, "These things are nothing in our eyes, but in their eyes, they are treasures." The days will be long, that is, let them know the preciousness of these things, we can get along with them better in the future, the first transaction, we must let them leave this deep impression, and we will give them in vain in the future. Brother, never give lightly, that will make others not know to cherish. ”
Song Tao looked at Li Ming like a ghost, and teased: "I think you look more and more like a person now, why do you look like Huang Shiren." ”
Although the people in the village feel that Li Ming's things are a little expensive, once they pick them up and look at them carefully, they can't put them down anymore, especially a group of old ladies, these female men in the village have the same temper as the gentlemen, as long as they like it, even if the things are expensive, they will not hesitate. I didn't know and thought it was Double 11.
The whole transaction went on all morning, Li Ming found all the team members, plus the things in everyone's bag, it was enough to meet the needs of the other party, both sides were very satisfied, the people in the village took the treasure they bought at a sky-high price to show off, although the value of the things they exchanged made them feel painful, but they also took it for granted, such a good baby, should be worth this price.
At noon, the village chief led a group of village gentlemen to feast Li Ming and their "traveling merchants", but he didn't expect something to happen halfway, a child in the village was sick, and he had not been well for the past few days, and the child's condition suddenly worsened.
The ladies of the family begged the village chief to send the child to a village a hundred miles away, where there was a shaman, hoping that the shaman would help him see if the child had committed some evil disease.
Li Ming and the others also followed to see the child, and Xiao Zhongliang, the team doctor in the expedition, took out a stethoscope, and helped the child listen, and did another examination, and then he turned back to Li Ming and said: "This child has acute pneumonia, and it can't be delayed any longer." ”
Song Tao whispered: "Dude, you can see it, this is not our modern society, don't really commit any evil disease, if we delay the child again, then it will be difficult for us to work here in the future." ”
Xiao Zhongliang turned his head sharply, glared at Song Tao and said: "The evil disease of fart, I am also a person who grew up in the countryside, can't I tell what is an evil disease and what is an emergency, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." ”
Song Tao stretched out his tongue and glanced at Li Ming with a wry smile, and Li Ming also whispered: "If you treat this child, I will inject him with injections in a while, and it is best to let Liu Handong explain to them before the injection, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”
"Fart injections, do you think this kid is a modern person, a piece of anti-inflammatory medicine can cure serious diseases in this era, and there is no need for injections at all."
Li Ming was also choked by Xiao Zhongliang's words, he and Song Tao smiled bitterly, but they didn't say anything, after all, people are professional, and Xiao Zhongliang is this temper, but he definitely didn't say it.
After graduating from the army's medical academy and being assigned to the army, Xiao Zhongliang worked hard, endured hardships and stood hard work, and was particularly good at specialized research. But it's this temper and this stinky mouth, I don't know how many people have been offended.
He was first in a military-level hospital, then in a divisional hospital, then in a regimental health team, then in a battalion clinic, and then there was no more...... His temperament has changed a lot over the years, and the edges and corners have basically smoothed out.
But since he arrived at the Far Eastern Group Company, his temper has grown again. During the retraining, even Gao Jianguo's black-faced Yama dared to contradict him, but Gao Jianguo still admired Xiao Zhongliang and praised him in front of everyone, saying that he was a good soldier.
Xiao Zhongliang was right, the child with an emergency took the medicine, and after a short time, the fever subsided, and by the evening, the child's condition had basically stabilized. Li Ming's heart that had been slipping away finally let go.
The people in the village respected Xiao Zhongliang like a god for curing the child's emergency with just one pill. At that time, if people were suffering from a sudden illness, most of them were resigned to fate, and the mortality rate was surprisingly high, especially the elderly and children. The child's parents and the old village chief were also more enthusiastic about Li Ming, and the whole village mobilized that night to bring out the best things in their own house to feast on the expedition.
Because the relationship between Li Ming and the old village chief is one step closer, everyone can also communicate openly and honestly, and they also know the name of the old village chief, this old guy is called Kulutu, of course, this is just everyone's analysis of his pronunciation, and because of this, it is easy to say.
The next day, Kulutu asked the best hunters in the village to be Li Ming's guides, and with the help of the old hunters in the village, Li Ming's work was also sped up a lot, and a group of technical experts got a lot of real-time data after surveying and mapping. The mapping team also produced a real-time map of the vicinity of Vladivostok.
After several days of intense work, not only did he successfully complete the task of this field investigation, but Song Tao also led several special combat team members, with the help of old hunters in the village, to make a detailed reconnaissance of the 100-mile radius around Vladivostok, and Lin Hua, who was a staff officer, together with several technicians of the drawing team, made a simple topographic map.
After all the work was completed, Li Ming said goodbye to Kulutu, during this time Li Ming and they lived in the village every day, and formed a deep friendship with the men, women and children in the village, and they were a little reluctant when they were really separated.
But the day before leaving, Liu Handong found Li Ming and Song Tao and put forward his idea, he wanted to stay in the village for the time being. In the past few days, Liu Handong has been learning the local language with the people in the village as soon as he has time, and he wants to live here for a while and thoroughly master the + local dialect, which will be of great help to the company to enter here in the future.
Regarding Liu Handong's idea, Li Ming and Song Tao studied it and finally agreed. But he also told him to pay attention to safety, and he handed over all his equipment to Li Ming, leaving only a pistol, two grenades, and two smoke grenades, which were enough for him to protect himself.
Because there will be a large amount of resources to be transported to another time and space through the wormhole in the future, Li Ming is now trying to reduce the number of times he opens the wormhole as much as possible, he is worried that the energy of the wormhole will be weakened, so during this time, the company will not keep in touch with Liu Handong.
Gao Jianguo and Qiao Haipeng would stay in the company's warehouse at 4 o'clock every morning at 4 o'clock in the morning, waiting for Li Ming and their return.
Today is the fifth day of Li Ming's departure, but Li Ming still did not come back at the agreed time, which also exacerbated their worries, and the two of them kept walking around the edge of the warehouse to relieve their anxious mood.
Suddenly, a bright light suddenly flashed in the middle of the warehouse, and an oval-shaped light door appeared out of thin air, Gao Jianguo and Qiao Haipeng hurriedly ran over, excitedly waiting for everyone's arrival.
The first to come out of the wormhole was a group of technical experts, followed by more than a dozen special combat team members, and Li Ming and Song Tao walked side by side at the end. Gao Jianguo and Qiao Haipeng excitedly walked over to shake hands with everyone one by one, and said that they had worked hard.
Suddenly, Gao Jianguo's face changed, and he said hurriedly: "Why is there one person missing, where is Liu Handong." ”
Li Ming saw that Gao Jianguo was anxious, and hurriedly walked over to explain to Gao Jianguo, after listening to Li Ming's words, Gao Jianguo's face finally eased, and Gao Jianguo also appreciated Liu Handong's thoughts, but also asked about safety, and finally relieved his heart after Li Ming's further explanation.
