Chapter 113, looking for a doctor on a sandbank
Sandbar is a very special place in the Yan Country.
First of all, since it is a sandbar, there must be sand. That's right, it's desert terrain.
Lacking greenery and water, and with no other resources to replace them, this sandbar is naturally not very prosperous, and it is considered a marginal area in the Yan Country, especially if it is considered an area of exile. Every year, a number of prisoners are exiled here for their crimes.
To find a doctor in such a place?
Xu Zhige was actually a little unconfident in his heart, and he didn't feel much before he came, but after he arrived, after seeing the scarce medical resources here, this feeling became more and more obvious.
"Do you think we'll be able to find a doctor here?"
Riding an animal like a camel with a huge shade hat, Xu Zhige, who was dressed in a sandbar style, looked at the endless desert around him and asked loudly.
Leo looked at the map as he walked, not bothering him. And Lan Lan behaved most leisurely, on her, an invisible cold air always hovered around her, keeping her away from this scorching hot environment. Obviously, when it comes to the manipulation of power, Lan Lan is definitely second to none.
"It should be almost!"
After three full days of walking, Leo finally said something of hope!
Xu Zhige asked, "Is it almost there?"
"Almost! According to the map, you should be able to reach the nearest village in a few hours!"
"Oh, I was so touched that you said a human word for the first time in three days!"
"Look ahead!" Lan Lan suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed to a small sand dune in front of her, "There seems to be something over there!"
The three of them ran over and rummaged carefully for a while, and one arm was exposed underneath the sand. On the top there is a tattoo of an eagle.
"This is ......" After seeing the strange tattoo on his arm, Leo's face changed, and he immediately made a great effort to dig out the people buried under the dunes.
It was a dark-skinned man with a slender build. However, it is more appropriate to say that it is not so much slim as emaciation due to malnutrition. His skin was rough from dryness, and his face was somewhat thin and colorless. But luckily, I was able to breathe a little after being dug up.
"This guy is still angry!Hurry up and help!" Xu Zhige jumped off the camel beast and then helped lift the people under the sand dunes.
After traveling for an hour and a half, Xu Zhige and his men finally arrived in the village with the man who was about to die, and after some inquiry, they also found the medical clinic in the village. And inside, there is only one bearded man sitting in charge......
"Luckily, if you come a little later, even if you are rescued, there will be sequelae in the future. This time it's a life. ”
The bearded man with a gray beard and goggles, after groping around on the swarthy man's body, was diagnosed: "But the trauma is not the biggest problem, it should be the unknown virus infection in his body, his body temperature has been high, and it may endanger his life at any time!
This sounds quite serious, especially in the sandbar where medical resources are scarce, if there is a large-scale infection, it will be no less than a catastrophe!
"Sounds like a hassle......"
"But we must save him!" Leo said in a somewhat resolute tone.
"Why?" I had never seen such a human side of Leo, and Xu Zhige couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Leo sighed and said, "Did you see the tattoo on that kid's hand just now? Actually, it's the inheritance logo of our Falcon Ancient Dynasty, and that tattoo means protector, I think he's probably the person we're looking for, or he knows where the person we're looking for!"
That's a real problem!
"What did the doctor say?"
"I don't know, the doctor didn't know anything when he was still examining. ”
After a while, the bearded man came out, and Xu Zhige immediately rushed over, "Doctor, how's the situation?"
"This ......" The bearded man looked embarrassed, and said with a little arrogance: "I'm afraid it will take a while of research to find out the pathogen, and during this time, we can only use external cooling to keep the patient's body temperature from continuing to rise." As for the detailed treatment, it will have to wait a few more days to be determined. I still have something to do, so I'll go first. With that, the bearded man turned and left. It was too late for Xu Zhige to continue asking.
"Isn't there no way to say so much?" Leo said with some dissatisfaction: "What is extracorporeal cooling, wouldn't it be nice for you to just say that you covered your forehead with a wet towel?"
"Anyway, let's go and see it first. Xu Zhige pushed open the door of the ward.
Walking in, on the hospital bed, the temperature around the swarthy man was obviously a little higher than the surroundings, and the whole person was like a small stove, emitting terrible heat.
Lan Lan frowned and said, "This symptom is really terrifying, I didn't expect it to have such a high temperature! If it continues, even if I can wake up, it will burn my brain!" I'll help him cool down first." ”
With the tap of Lan Lan's fingers, a cold mist visible to the naked eye began to slowly envelop the swarthy man on the hospital bed. Although it could not treat his condition, it at least prevented his temperature from continuing to rise.
"But this is not the way, I am treating the symptoms but not the root cause, if we want to really cure him, at least we need to know what kind of disease he has!" Lan Lan frowned.
"Sand poison fever!"
"What did you say?" Lan Lan turned to look at Xu Zhige.
"No, what did I say?" Xu Zhige was also confused. Turning his head to look at Leo, he was also at a loss.
"I said that black boy had sand poison fever......"
A rather vicissitudes of voice came in from outside the door. If it weren't for the poor soundproofing in this room, and the fact that it was relatively quiet inside, I really couldn't hear it clearly.
"Who?"
Leo pushed open the door and saw that there was nothing outside the door. Just a middle-aged man who was cleaning up the garbage, he didn't look like a doctor. "It can't be a ghost, right?"
"You're the ghost!" said the middle-aged man who took out the garbage without raising his head, "I said, the black boy in that room has been infected with sand poison fever." If you don't save him, you won't live for three days. Even if you freeze him. ”
"Why?
At this time, the uncle who took out the garbage finally raised his head. What caught Xu Zhige's eyes was the image of a middle-aged man with a gray beard, and the most eye-catching thing was his eyes, a pair of deep and clear eyes like the starry Milky Way. Like the eyes of a scholar with a full stomach. "If you don't believe it, forget it, anyway, I'll just talk about it......"
finally found someone who could name the disease, how could Xu Zhige let him go. Seeing that the middle-aged man seemed to be leaving, Xu Zhige hurriedly walked over, "This senior, can you name this disease, it must also be what this disease is all about, right?"
The uncle looked Xu Zhige and his party up and down, and nodded slightly, "It's still a human remark, so I'll help you explain it." ”
"Then it's troublesome seniors. ”
"Hey, hey, don't shout from my predecessors, I'm only thirty-one years old this year, it's just that the wind and the sun are blowing, and the climate in this place is not very comfortable, so there will be such a layer of grapefruit skin and a white beard. The uncle smiled bitterly, "So, the environment in other places is good, the men are handsome and the women are beautiful." ”
Thirty-one? Xu Zhige is happy, don't say thirty-one in this appearance, that is, sixty-one is believed by some people.
"Ah, after all that, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Uvenshi. Lots of advice. ”
"The surname Yuwen is also a minority of aristocratic surnames in the Yan Kingdom, but it is also a relatively famous surname in today's temples, I didn't expect to see people from the Yuwen clan in the distant sandbar. Xu Zhige raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.
"Well, I'm not surnamed Yuwen, but a single surname Yu, a two-name scribe. ”
Yu Wenshi was a little embarrassed, the confusion of this name was indeed quite large. "Our ancestors migrated to the sandbank a long time ago, so it has nothing to do with the noble Yuwen family in the court today, and it is normal that you have not heard of it. In addition, as early as my father-in-law's generation, our family declined......"
"Our Yu family used to be a medical family in our ancestors, but then something happened that caused the inheritance to be broken, if it weren't for my father-in-law who recorded all the things he knew in the family tree, we were actually the same as ordinary people. There is no special power. Yu Wenshi smiled bitterly, this can be regarded as a regret of their clan, watching the strong people in this world turn the rain and clouds, but he can only stare at history dryly. Not being able to pursue power is more torturous than never knowing.
It turned out to be a scholar-type person who only had knowledge and no cultivation.
"But then again, why can't you cultivate but know that my friend is infected with that sand poison fever?" Xu Zhige said with some doubts.
"As I said just now, the grandfather of our family has recorded some of the things he knows in the family tree. A proud smile appeared on Yu Wenshi's face, "Our clan has been deciphering these things for generations, and we have also gained some knowledge from them, and I am very interested in the cultural inheritance of ancient times. Although I still don't have the ability to cultivate, I still have a lot of knowledge for myself. ”
"But to explain this, I think it's better to go to my residence. Yu Wenshi smiled: "Do you want to go back with me to have a look?"
