Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Fat Man Fell Ill

It wasn't a big deal for the fifth master to come to us, it was to introduce the playboy to everyone, and by the way, he held a small bonfire party for the supply team that had just arrived.

The fifth master of Zha held a bonfire party under the pretext of catching the wind for the playboy, in order to drive away the low morale of the previous Western Expedition.

I saw the protagonist playboy full of vigor and enthusiasm to socialize, and finally stuck to the side of the seventh master to offer courtesy, and the fire in my heart suddenly sparked, and then quickly expanded and burned bigger.

However, when I turned my head and touched Tianyu's cold eyes, the fire that had burned violently in my heart was suddenly extinguished, and at the same time I felt a kind of chill that was blowing through the bones.

I raised the wine glass in my hand, took a sip of hot and spicy wine, I shook my spirits, approached Tianyu, who no longer looked at me, and said, "Senior sister, you can wear more clothes when it's cold, but don't catch a cold." ”

Tianyu turned his head sideways to look me in the eyes, and then replied with a bland and indifferent voice, "Thank you for your concern." Although she said thank you, she had an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, which made me feel a little angry, but I still suppressed the anger in my heart, and said to her with a signature smile: "What's polite, you are my only junior sister, I have to care about you of course." ”

After listening to my words, Tianyu showed a very lonely and desolate smile, I looked at the corners of her drooping eyes, felt an inexplicable heartache, my hand involuntarily covered my chest, and I frowned uncomfortably and closed my eyes. Seeing this, Tianyu beside me finally fluctuated in his tone. Slightly worried, he asked me, "What's wrong with you?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”

I was about to say "it's okay" when I heard a "clang" and the sound of the flask falling to the ground. Then there was a loud "bang", like the sound of someone falling from a chair.

I endured the pain in my chest, and hurriedly opened my eyes to look around, and saw the fat man sitting diagonally opposite me, along with the chair he was sitting on, fell to the ground, and I immediately thought of "someone sneaking up", and hurriedly turned around. Look around.

As a result, the darkness in the distance was silent, and nothing unusual was found.

I quickly scanned the surroundings and saw nothing out of the ordinary. He ran to the fat man, and there were already many people around him.

I looked down at him and saw that he looked like he had just been caught, his body twitching and trembling. His forehead was covered with cold sweat. I immediately picked up the flask on the ground and examined it. The wine was crystal clear and did not seem to be poisoned.

At this time, I heard someone in the crowd say, "Swing." ”

This was not the answer I expected at all, and I exclaimed, "How is that possible?" ”

The fat man suddenly fell from the chair to the ground while drinking, his body twitched unconscious, I first thought that someone had attacked and released a cold gun, and then I was afraid that he was poisoned, just when both of them were denied by me. Some people in the crowd said it was "swinging." ”

Playing a pendulum is actually "cold and fever", which is called "malaria" in medicine. It is a contagious parasitic disease caused by the spread of malaria parasites such as mosquitoes living in dirty stagnant water in places where there is no living water.

The symptoms of the patient are chills and shivering, body aches, confusion, goosebumps on the skin, and then the body temperature will gradually rise.

Hearing that the fat man was swinging, someone immediately lifted him up and sent him to a nearby tent, and I followed nervously.

We have a treatment team that is proficient in medical skills, and we also bring a variety of medical medicines, which can be treated lightly.

However, there was a strong sense of uneasiness in my heart. I know very well about the disease, the fat man's symptoms are obviously a little abnormal, from the last time I had a conversation with him to now, it will not be more than an hour, he has been in a severe coma, which is not in line with the medical common sense of malaria.

I'm worried that in this Kunlun Mountain, where anything can happen, something beyond the scope of human medical common sense will happen, and the fat man's life will be in danger. With trepidation, I stepped into the tent and began to take care of the fat man who was unconscious.

Originally, this disease was not difficult to treat with modern medical science, but what happened next confirmed my uneasiness.

The western expedition team continued to march in the red sand base rocky field for a few days, but after the fat man was treated with medical treatment, his condition did not improve, but he became more and more strict, his body was sweating, his face was purple, and he even vomited from time to time, and in less than three days, his eye sockets and cheeks were a little sunken, and he obviously lost a lot of weight.

Thinking of all kinds of terrifying legends in Kunlun Mountain, seeing the fat man's unoptimistic appearance, I was unable to sleep and eat, taking care of the unconscious fat man every inch, once suspected that the fat man was hit by the "Gu", three times and twice opened the fat man's eyelids to check, but did not see the black line, the fat man is really as they said, it is malaria. However, what I can't figure out is why the malaria symptoms of fat people are so peculiar and different?

Ever since I stepped into this mysterious and treacherous, terrifying territory of Kunlun Mountain, where no terrifying words are enough to describe, my heart has been shrouded in a shadow as thick as a cumulus cloud.

The fat man fell ill, and I stayed by his side day and night, and the other people in the team were also injured and needed to recuperate, so that the playboy who wanted to accompany me to take care of the fat man had to take over my position and the fat man's position, and help the fifth master manage the big and small things in the team.

And Tianyu, who was busy every day, occasionally took time to visit the fat man, and forced me to finish the food she brought, and then she would pack up the dishes and chopsticks and turn away, continuing her busyness.

On the fifth day of the fat man's coma, Tianyu came in to clean up the dishes and chopsticks for my meal, and seeing that the food brought in was almost not touched, she looked at me quietly for a moment, and then said, "You have to take care of your body first, and then you can take care of the fat brother." ”

I buried my head in my palms, and said in a hoarse voice, "I have no appetite, I really can't eat." ”

Tianyu wanted to persuade me to do something, but at this time, the curtain of the tent was raised, and the fifth master walked in with a few people, and suddenly the narrow tent became crowded.

Fifth Master Zha walked up to me, looked at the fat man lying unconscious on the bed and said to me, "Xiaowen! We discussed that we would set up camp here tonight, rest for the rest tomorrow, and continue our march the day after tomorrow. I just ordered someone to boil a pot of chicken soup to replenish the fat man's body, and you can drink some too. I see that your current state is not much better than that of a patient. ”

We're competing, not traveling, time is of the essence for us, and we should race against the clock at all times.

However, in order to let the fat man get a good rest, they deliberately decided to delay it for a day. Thinking of the death of Elder Cha, the fifth master did not personally escort the body back to Beijing for this trip, but he delayed the precious time for the two of us, I was suddenly moved and speechless.

Fifth Master Zha patted me on the shoulder and said, "You and the fat man are my brothers, you have to take good care of your body." ”

At this time, the people behind him also advised me to eat on time and take care of myself first, so that I could take care of the sick fat man, and asked me not to worry too much, the fat man was strong and strong, and he would recover soon.

Sending off the crowd of patients, I turned to look at the fat man lying on the bed, he was in good shape today, except for the fever that made his face unusually ruddy, and he did not show up with convulsions and trembling and vomiting.

Seeing that the fat man's condition seemed to be improving, I folded the quilt for him with peace of mind, and then sat on the chair and slept on the side of his bed for a while.

I haven't slept peacefully for a long time, and this sleep is very sound, and when I feel someone patting me on the back and telling me to "wake up", I opened my eyes.

I stretched in contentedness and found that I had been woken up by the rain, and it was already dark outside the tent.

Tianyu put the food on the table, and I looked at her busy back and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Tianyu lifted the empty plate upside down on the food, set up the chopsticks, and then said to me, "It's time to finish." I've had the food hot a few times, you hurry up and eat it! ”

I stood up and took a look at the fat man lying on the bed, still asleep. I bent down and put my hand on his forehead, and found that his forehead was still very hot, but his breathing was smooth, and nothing else happened. Then he turned around and came to the front of the small table and picked up the dishes and chopsticks.

Tianyu did not leave, but stood in front of the fat man's bed and said to me: "The team will rest tomorrow, I have nothing to do tonight, I have time to take care of the fat brother here, you can go out and walk around, the moonlight is good tonight." ”

The fat man's condition improved, my appetite returned, and I pulled the food in the bowl into my mouth in two bites, and ended the dinner.

I saw Tianyu sitting in front of the fat man's bed and put a cold towel on the fat man's forehead, and when I saw that there was nothing to do, I remembered Tianyu's words and decided to go out for a walk.

I said to Tianyu, "I'll go for a walk." He stepped out of the tent.

The temperature tonight was not very cold, the moonlight was beautiful, and I breathed in the dry and cold air of the desert night, but the mood was very comfortable.

The camp is located on a high bedrock site, which is not sheltered from the wind, but has a good view of slowing down, and is suitable for advance and retreat in case of danger.

I saw someone patrolling the night with a flashlight, so I walked over to the crowd and found that it was the playboy with a few men, checking the herd.

The dude saw me and immediately came over. With a nervous expression, he asked me, "Why did you come out?" Is it the fat brother who has something going on? (To be continued......)
