Chapter 67: Medical Corps
Tulangzhong was also relieved when he heard Ji Shengli say this, and then he quickly packed up and set off with Ji Shengli......
After the two of them left the village, Tulangzhong said with a relaxed face, "We should have left a long time ago, in fact, every time I go into the mountains to collect medicine, I live here temporarily, and I have never stayed for such a long time as this time." ”
Ji Shengli didn't say anything after hearing this, and kept striding ahead, and when Tulang saw it, he caught up with him and said, "You don't have to walk so fast, we can spend the night in that wooden house under the corner of the mountain tonight." ”
After hearing this, Ji Shengli turned back to him and said, "No, I have to go back to the county before dark today, because tomorrow morning I will take the doctor to Qianqian Village." ”
"You still want to go back?!" Tulang said with some surprise.
Ji Shengli nodded and said, "There is a shortage of medical treatment there, and a small wound can cause infection and then death, so I must go back again with the county health team as soon as possible, and also do basic physical examinations for other villagers." ”
After hearing this, Tulangzhong sighed heavily and said, "Don't say I didn't tell you, that Qianqian Village is a bit evil, and the people who live in it are not normal." ”
Ji Shengli suddenly chuckled and said, "It's all ordinary people, and it's not normal because of the body, and if you are sick, you have to be treated." There's no way I'm going to let them fend for themselves in the mountains. ”
After hearing this, Tulangzhong didn't say anything anymore, but just told him to memorize the road by himself, so as not to get lost the next time he took someone up the mountain.
After returning to the county, Ji Shengli immediately reported the situation in Qianqian Village to his superiors, and the leaders of the county party committee at that time attached great importance to this matter and immediately formed a medical team composed of five people to prepare to go into the mountains to treat the injuries of those villagers.
In consideration of safety concerns, the county also sent two policemen to accompany them in order to deal with emergencies encountered after entering the mountain......
Because most of the medical team were female comrades, they naturally didn't walk as fast as Ji Shengli before Ji Shengli, and by the time they arrived at Qianjin Village, it was already the afternoon of the third day.
Ji Shengli still remembers the scene at that time, the weather was very good that day, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on this small village left in the mountains, shining everything golden. From afar...... You can also see a few villagers walking back and forth in the village, and the picture looks extremely beautiful.
The female comrades in the medical team all sighed that this place is simply a paradise! When Ji Shengli heard this, he just wanted to tell them how backward this paradise was, but he suddenly found that the village seemed to be a little too quiet, and the few figures who were wandering in the village just now were nowhere to be found.
At this time, the sun was gradually setting, and Officer Li, who was going up the mountain with him, said to Ji Shengli, "It's getting dark, let's hurry into the village!" It's too remote to stay in the wild at night. ”
Ji Shengli nodded when he heard this, and then took the lead in the village...... But he didn't go far before he felt that something was not quite right in the atmosphere, and it stands to reason that this was the time when every family was preparing dinner, but not only did he not see the lights of each house, but there was not even a trace of cooking smoke in the chimneys of each house.
"Comrade Ji, do all the people in this village sleep early?" A female nurse said curiously.
When Ji Shengli heard this, he shook his head and said, "It's early sleep...... But you don't have to go to bed as soon as the sun goes down. ”
At this time, I saw a female comrade pointing ahead and saying, "Hey, there seems to be someone over there......"
When Ji Shengli heard this, he looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, he saw several figures appear in front of him, and he didn't know if it was his own illusion, Ji Shengli felt that something was not quite right with those villagers.
In view of the experience last time, Ji Shengli did not rush over, but raised his hand to signal the team to stop first, and then he turned around and made a silent gesture to everyone. Although everyone didn't know what was going on, they still stood still and quietly watched the situation in the village not far away.
Ji Shengli walked forward alone for a while, he carefully observed the movements of the villagers, and found that they seemed to be always swaying back and forth, simply moving aimlessly.
Now that the sun has set, shouldn't the villagers hurry home and get ready for dinner? How can anyone hang out outside? Thinking of this, Ji Shengli took a few steps forward.
It was precisely because of these few steps that he finally saw the state of the villagers clearly, only to see that they were all covered in blood, and the exposed skin was festering, all of them were like rotting corpses that had just crawled out of the grave.
The appearance of these villagers reminded Ji Shengli of the guy who could still get up and bite after half of his head was smashed off, and the fear in his heart made him instinctively take two steps back, but he accidentally stepped on a dead branch on the ground.
The villagers who were still wandering aimlessly rushed towards him as quickly as if they had been suddenly electrocuted, and the doctors of the medical team behind them didn't know what was going on, so they saw Ji Shengli running back with a dirty face.
"Comrade Ji, you are ......," a policeman who followed up the mountain said in some surprise.
Ji Shengli didn't have time to explain, and shouted while waving at them, "Find a place to hide!" ”
Fortunately, the two policemen who took the lead reacted quickly, and they immediately pulled a few female comrades of the medical team to hide in the courtyard of a house, and Ji Shengli quickly got rid of the pursuit of those villagers because of his fast speed.
The group of medical team all hid in the courtyard in fear, and they didn't dare to come out, until Ji Shengli, who hid in the end, found a problem, that is, these people's eyesight didn't seem to be very good, and they seemed to rely on listening to sounds.
After losing Ji Shengli's position, those guys quickly calmed down, and then walked back slowly. After a while, after repeatedly confirming that it was temporarily safe, Ji Shengli slowly came to the place where the medical team was hiding, and said softly, "Do you think a few of them are symptoms of rabies?" ”
In fact, in those years, there were very few cases of being bitten by mad dogs in the countryside and sent to the hospital, and most of them were using some local methods at home to "become a dead horse as a live horse doctor", so these doctors really didn't have much chance to see the sick patients, so none of them could say what the situation of those people was just now.
As a result, just when they were discussing what to do, they suddenly heard the door behind them "creak" open, everyone stiffened when they heard this, and then slowly looked back, but saw a small hand stretched out from the door and waved it to them a few times, as if they wanted them to enter the house.
