Chapter 18: Snow Blindness
"Gollum ......" The captain of the soldier swallowed with difficulty, raised his hand and replied in a trembling voice, "He, they went to the snowfield." ”
Just now, because Sauron didn't give way, he drew his whip and wanted to give Sauron a blow, but he was thrown to the ground in the blink of an eye, and then his soldiers also screamed again and again, accompanying him to experience the pleasure of being cool in the snow.
Fortunately, the guy who overturned their team at this moment just asked for directions, and left directly after asking, not killing a piece of armor after being offended like those rumored big shots.
Anxiously getting up from the ground, looking at the backs of Zoro and Robin leaving, the soldier captain quickly kicked up the men lying on the ground who were pretending to be dead one by one, and led them in another direction with a curse.
Just now, they subconsciously pointed out the right direction to Zoro, but now they don't dare to follow, so they can only take a detour and ambush where Dr. Kureha may appear.
Here, after Zoro and Robin asked passers-by and received a definite answer, they hurried towards the direction pointed by the captain of the soldiers, for fear that they would miss the opportunity to meet Chopper if they were too late.
After all, who knows when Dr. Kureha will be next, Zoro doesn't have that much time to wait.
"You've got in the way of them, aren't you afraid that the army will send someone to arrest you?" Robin followed closely behind Zoro, using his tall frame to shield himself from the wind and snow.
Walking with his head held high, Sauron said nonchalantly, "Don't wait for them to come and get me, I'll look for them myself later." ”
Robin raised an eyebrow, didn't say anything, just tightened his fur coat, and approached Sauron again, almost clinging to his broad back.
Zoro was oblivious to Robin's movements behind him, and he was discerning which direction he should go next.
It was so white and snowy that he couldn't find out where the direction he had been looking for was for a while.
It's not a road idiot, it's snow blindness!
……
"Doctor Dorier, it's time to get rid of them." In the middle of the forest, a sturdy reindeer was carrying an old lady tossing and turning in the forest, and her vigorous posture made people look at it, and even the best hunter did not dare to say that he could catch him.
Doctor Dorier, who is also known as Dr. Kureha in the mouth of the people of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, listened to Chopper's words, patted his hat and smiled: "Silly Chopper, danger is like a pathogen, sometimes it is always hidden in unexpected places, you can't take it lightly. ”
As he spoke, Dr. Kureha took out a throwing knife from his bosom and threw it straight into the snow-white ground, but before Chopper could ask, the snow that had been pierced by the throwing knife was suddenly stained red with blood, and then a soldier in a white robe who was prostrate on the ground jumped up with his buttocks in his hands, screaming and jumping there.
"Spotted, shoot!"
The moment the soldier was exposed, a large snowflake erupted in the snow around Chopper and Dr. Kureha, and then seven or eight soldiers armed with muskets stood up and raised their muskets to fire bullets to beat Chopper and Dr. Kureha into a sieve.
And the surrounded Chopper and Dr. Kureha did not panic at all, this kind of ambush situation has been encountered several times, and one person and one deer did not pay attention to this group of soldiers at all.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, Chopper swept his hooves, and the sky was full of snowflakes splashing from the ground, and then taking advantage of the gap in the soldiers' vision to dodge the bullets that were fired at them through their positions, and sped away towards the depths of the woods.
"Damn, let them run again." The captain of the soldier squad spoke in a rather indignant tone, but the expression on his face was not at all the resentment that he should have after the mission failed, but there was a kind of relief that the drudgery was over.
Patting the snow on his body, the soldier captain greeted his subordinates: "Let's go, the target escape mission failed, let's go back and drink something to warm up, and by the way, help this unlucky guy bandage his buttocks." ”
"Oh, long live the captain." The soldiers did not feel the slightest shame because the mission was not completed, but gathered together shoulder to shoulder to discuss where to go for a drink, and laughed at the unlucky guy who had a hole in his buttocks.
The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, this truth is well reflected in these officers and soldiers of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom.
Chopper and Dr. Kureha had no idea that the ambush behind them had left, and they were heading for their next destination.
According to Dr. Kureha's temperament, it is difficult to go out to see a doctor and wander around a village, and now that he is being chased out, he naturally wants to go home and relax. But today is the day Chopper reads his new medical book, and Dr. Kureha wants him to see more in action, so he is ready to work harder.
Fortunately, she used to appear in a village and then disappear for a long time before reappearing, and those stupid soldiers of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom seemed to think that Dr. Kureha would settle down in the next period of time, and it would be impossible for her to come out to make trouble again (treating people is also considered trouble?). ), and they all went about their business with confidence.
As the wind and snow gradually became smaller, the visible distance became farther and farther away, and Chopper's bright eyes caught two figures in the snowfield in front of them, spinning there as if they were lost.
"Could it be snow blindness?" Chopper stood still, motionless looking at the two men in the distance.
Snow blindness is a condition of temporary blindness caused by the retina of the eye being stimulated by bright light. Due to the extremely high reflectivity of the snow to sunlight, which can reach nearly 95%, looking directly at the snow is like looking directly at the sun, and if you are not careful in the snowfield, you will be stung by the reflection of the snow, and even temporarily blind.
And at the moment, the two people look like disoriented ants, wandering around, and if they are not rescued, their lives are likely to be in danger.
"Doctor Dorier, are you going to save them?" Chopper turned his head to look at Dr. Doriel, who was on his back, trying to let her make the decision for him.
Dr. Kureha looked up at the sky, squinted at the figure in the snow for a moment, and finally patted Chopper's head, and said earnestly: "Chopper, did I tell you that when you see a doctor, you can't easily judge based on the content of the book and the patient's symptoms?" ”
"yes." Chopper nodded, not knowing why Doctor Dorier was saying this at this time.
"So look, is there a sun above us now?"
Chopper looked up: "No." ”
"Then if there is no sun, how can you get snow blindness?" Dr. Kureha said, knocking on Chopper's antlers.
"Is that so?" Chopper was a little confused, but thought that this was what Doctor Dorier said, so it should be true: "Then they are not snow blind, right?" ”
"Smack!"
Dr. Kureha slapped Chopper's hat, pulled Chopper's furry little face, and said, "I said that being a doctor should have your own judgment, and you can't overturn your judgment just because of the words of a senior person, right?" ”
"Like." Chopper frowned and replied pitifully.
"Snow blindness is not only sunny days, even cloudy days, and it is easy to get snow blindness after staying in the snow for a long time, I remember the book said it, right?"
"Shrink the pot."
"Then you say, are those two people in front of you snow blind?" Dr. Kureha asked, leaning over Chopper's head, looking like an old witch.
“…… Woo, wobuzi. "Chopper was already being bullied and crying.
