Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dead Pony
The total length of the Erlangshan Tunnel is almost eight miles long, and in the dim tunnel, parking is taboo, so the convoy keeps going straight, while the team leader Chu calms down and says to the man with a walkie-talkie: "Peng Ling, Peng Ling, don't panic, what's wrong with the pony, don't worry, say slowly." β
Peng Ling on the other end of the walkie-talkie was a little choked up with fright, and didn't know how to speak.
This is another man who took the walkie-talkie and said in a deep voice: "Team Chu, not long after the pony entered the tunnel, he began to foam at the mouth, his breath was short, and he couldn't change his breath. β
After hearing this, Team Leader Chu picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Call Vermilion, call Vermilion, you are the medical security in our team, please provide support; The lead car accelerated, quickly exited the tunnel, and then stopped at the nearby emergency belt......"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle female voice rang out, first asking about the ponies' condition at the moment, and then instructing them on first aid.
Her voice was steady and steady, which soothed Peng Ling and the other two who were in the same car with the pony.
Miss Xiao Guo told me that Zhu Hong is the team doctor in their donkey friend group, and she is a doctor in the emergency department of a tertiary hospital, and she has rich clinical experience, so there should be no problem.
There was a lot of confidence in her words, but I could feel the atmosphere of the team sinking down for a moment.
After a while, when the convoy was about to leave the tunnel, Peng Ling's voice suddenly sounded again on the walkie-talkie: "Ah, no, Zhu Hong, his whole body was convulsed, and he kept foaming at the mouth all the time, and the foam went into his nose, and the muscles on his face kept twisting, and his pupils contracted...... Oh my God, he's out of gas, what should he do? β
Zhu Hong shouted on the walkie-talkie: "Hold him, clean up the debris in his mouth, and then give him artificial respiration!" β
There was silence in the walkie-talkie, and after a while, the convoy drove out of the tunnel and saw the light again, and then Peng Ling's sad cry came, she pulled her throat and shouted long: "I can't do it, it's too dirty, I don't dare to ......"
The convoy traveled some more distance before coming to a halt at the nearest emergency belt.
As soon as the car stopped, the fifth brother opened the door without hesitation and jumped out, and I trotted with him all the way to the car where the pony was.
Team Leader Chu was already there at this time.
Then I saw that the pony had been carried out of the cart, lying on his back, and a good-looking woman was kneeling beside him, and then her hands were connected, and she kept pressing his chest, and after pressing it for a while, she would grab the pony's nose and blow into his mouth, as if she was doing a final rescue.
However, no matter how she pressed it, the pony's face was still dark and blue, and his eyes were already glazed......
I got closer, and I couldn't hear the pony's breathing.
He's dead.
The fact that there was a person who had been fine when I set out in the morning was suddenly gone, made everyone sad, and on the other side, I saw a woman squatting on the ground and crying, tears streaming down her face.
She shook her head as if to say something, but the words were drowned out in choked sobs, while another man comforted her.
I recognized these two men.
On the night I was attacked, these two slipped into the car and did something inappropriate for children.
Car shock.
When we approached, Team Leader Chu had already stopped Zhu Hong, who was persistently rescuing, and persuaded her in a low voice: "Okay, okay, there are no more people, don't work so hard......"
Zhu Hong ignored him, and wanted to go to the pony's corpse to continue, when the fifth brother stepped forward, hugged Zhu Hong, patted her shoulder, and whispered: "Okay, the person is dead, but it's not your fault, there are more than 30 people in the team, all counting on you, you can't collapse, you know?" β
His words were masculine and with a little tenderness, Zhu Hong heard it, and at first she was holding back, but suddenly she let out a "wow" and cried.
She's uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable.
It can be rescued, if she was in the car, she could have been rescued......
Alas......
After the fifth brother confirmed that the pony was dead, Zhu Hong wailed and cried, but did not rescue again, at this time, a female group member handed her a towel and wiped the dirt on her face and hands, while I helped the fifth brother clean up the pony's corpse.
It was the pony's own sleeping bag, and when I zipped it up, I saw that the pony's face was bruised, and the pair of black eye bags were very scary, as if I hadn't slept well for many days.
The doubts in my mind are even heavier.
Instead of continuing westward, we stopped in Luding County and took the pony to the hospital for an autopsy and report the crime, while the rest of the group stopped at a hotel in the county.
The autopsy results came out at around 5 p.m., and as with Zhu Hong's judgment, it was a suffocating death caused by acute epilepsy.
Oddly enough, however, Pony has been a member of the group for over two years, and no one has ever heard of him having a history of epilepsy, and has not found any epilepsy medication in his luggage.
And judging from the results of the examination, the pony's body is very weak, and it is definitely not suitable for this kind of extremely high-intensity road trip into Tibet.
In fact, Pony has participated in several large-scale events organized by the Travelers, and his physical fitness is not weak.
Leader Chu is very strict with the selection of people entering Tibet this time, except for me and Miss Xiao Guo, everyone needs to show a physical examination report from a regular hospital and sign a liability exemption contract.
In the pony's medical report, everything is fine.
There was no mention in the report that he had a history of epilepsy, and now that this is the case, there is only one possibility.
Pony falsifies the medical report.
For this, Team Leader Chu was furious, and called everyone together for a meeting, and talked about three things, the first is how to deal with the aftermath of the pony, the second is to ask everyone in the team if there is a similar situation of forgery, and the third point is to discuss with everyone whether it is necessary to stop this activity.
All of us can understand the pressure on Team Leader Chu.
This kind of illegal behavior of Xiaoma undoubtedly casts a shadow on the itinerary that everyone is looking forward to and striving for, and many people have been preparing for months, half a year or even a year for this trip to Tibet.
These people's hard work, the most anticipated journey in life, can't be ruined like this.
After a long discussion and consultation, two people finally came forward.
Poplar and Peng Ling.
It's the pair of cars that shook before, they happened to be in the same car with the pony today, although everyone felt that this matter was the pony's own problem, but Peng Ling always felt that she was too panicked at the time, and refused to give artificial respiration to the pony, which led to this serious consequence.
Coupled with the death of someone in their car, the two cast a strong shadow on the journey into Tibet, so they proposed that the two of them stay and wait for the arrival of Xiaoma's family to deal with the aftermath.
Their decision was met with admiration and applause, but I had a different idea.
Belch......
It's too dirty, so I'll keep it to myself.
I had already pretended not to know, but Miss Guo couldn't help but poke me in the waist, and then winked at me, making me want to laugh.
This guy ......
The plan is not as good as the change, we stayed in Luding County for two days, during which the police came to ask us, and also recorded a confession, because the Chu team leader has a rich handling plan, and all the follow-up will not be much trouble.
However, I felt that the fifth brother's brows were tightly locked.
That night, I found my fifth brother and talked to him about the situation.
On the day of his stay in Jinguancheng, the pony was a little unusualβhe was in the toilet of the bar, with a bewitching-looking woman, and then he did not return home at night, until about five o'clock in the morning, and then slept for the whole day; When I set off on this day, I was almost exhausted, and I talked to him once, but he didn't like to talk to me.
I have some suspicions that the pony did not die of asphyxiation caused by so-called acute epilepsy, but was killed by someone.
Hearing my story, the fifth brother's brows furrowed, and he was silent for a long time before he asked me why I thought that the woman who was living with the pony had a problem.
I said that I was once harmed by a woman who looked like her, and that woman was a Gu cultivator.
The fifth brother was stunned for a moment, and said You still know about Gu cultivators?
I nodded.
He was silent for a moment before asking, "Do you think the pony has been poisoned?" β
I shook my head and said that when the two of us collected his body during the day, I probably looked at it and thought it should be not.
He nodded and said yes, Pony's death is complicated, I agree with your judgment part, and I also think that his death has something to do with the crazy affair he went out that day; But these are just your and my conjectures, there is no evidence, the problem now is, the police have closed the case, let's not make any extraneous branches, so as not to affect everyone's itinerary, do you know?
I understood the words of the fifth brother, and the implication of his words was that the team leader and several leaders had repeatedly told them not to come nonsense, but the pony and a few other people still ran away to spend all day drinking.
In that case, they should be held accountable for what they do.
I nodded, understood.
The fifth brother patted me on the shoulder and said quietly: "I estimate that this journey will be very unpeaceful, I don't want such a thing to happen again, I need your help, Lu Yan, you can help me, right?" β
