Chapter 254: Midnight Terror
The two sighed at the wine table, drank the mare's milk wine on the wine table, got up and went out to check the situation in the germ of the feverish child.
Ding Qiunan followed Xiao Batu to the yurt of the feverish child, and there were five or six men, women and children standing in the small yurt, filling the space in the room.
Batu said something in Mongolian to the group, and when the people in the room heard Little Batu's words, they quickly made way of a passage, revealing a child lying on the bed with a red face and a wet towel on his forehead.
Seeing the child lying on the bed, Ding Qiunan walked quickly to the bed, took off the towel on the child's head, put his hand on the child's forehead, and suddenly felt a burst of heat coming from the palm of his hand.
"How long has the child been burning? Have you ever taken any medicine?" Ding Qiunan checked the child's physical condition and asked without looking back.
After listening to Batu's translation, the child's father, Battle, muttered a string of Mongolian words, and also pointed to a bowl of soup and medicine at the bedside.
Batu translated to Ding Qiunan: "Sig has been like this for eleven days, he was still conscious at the beginning, and now he has been asleep for the past two days, we don't have a doctor here, it is the herbs that the old man in the family found for Sig according to the recipe passed down from the tribe."
After hearing Batu's translation, Ding Qiunan picked up the medicine bowl next to him and sniffed it, and just when he wanted to open his mouth and ask them to bring the herbs over to take a look, a middle-aged woman walked in from outside with a handful of herbs in her hand and an anxious expression.
The middle-aged woman came to Ding Qiunan's side, handed the herbs to Ding Qiunan, and after speaking a large number of Mongolian words, she looked at Ding Qiunan eagerly.
Even if Batu didn't translate these words, Ding Qiunan could understand what the middle-aged woman said, nodded at her, and took the herbs in his hand to examine them carefully.
Although the current medical students mainly study Western medicine, but Chinese medicine is also involved, the basic theory and pharmacology of Chinese medicine are still very solid, although the theoretical system of Mongolian medicine and Chinese medicine is different, but it is the same in pharmacology, after examining the herbs, Ding Qiunan nodded, these herbs do have the effect of reducing fever: "Has the phenomenon of improvement occurred after drinking this herb?"
After another period of translation, Batu said to Ding Qiunan: "It will be better when I first drink this medicine, but after drinking it for two days, it has no effect."
Ding Qiunan nodded, returned to the bedside, closed his eyes and checked the pulse of Sige, after everyone in the room saw Ding Qiunan's appearance, everyone stared at Ding Qiunan's direction without daring to breathe, for fear of disturbing Ding Qiunan's treatment of Sige.
After waiting for a while, Ding Qiunan put down his hand to check the pulse, asked for a flashlight from Sige's father, opened Sige's mouth, carefully checked the tongue coating, hesitated for a moment and then said: "There is no medical equipment here, according to the examination I just had, Sige's child should have a fever caused by the virus, I will prescribe some antipyretic medicine for the child, let's see if the fever can be reduced."
"Sister Qiunan, but we are here in the pastoral area and there is no place to get medicine, and the nearest hospital to us is more than three hundred miles" Ding Qiunan's diagnosis Batu did not translate to Sige's home, and looked at Ding Qiunan with some embarrassment and said.
"Qiu Nan, I remember that we brought common medicines with us when we set off, right?" Li Ping'an, who had come over a long time ago, didn't bother because Ding Qiunan was seriously treating the patient just now, and after hearing that he was going to prescribe medicine to the patient, Li Ping'an, who was standing behind the crowd, opened his mouth to remind.
Ding Qiunan nodded in the direction of Li Ping'an, then looked at Batu and said, "I brought Analgin, and I put it in the jeep, now I can ride to the jeep and get it back."
Analgin, before 2000, was popular in China for 40 years, although the side effects are large and there is a risk of death, but it is undeniable that Analgin has saved the lives of many people in China in the past 40 years.
"Is it okay during the day tomorrow?" After hearing Ding Qiunan's words, Batu glanced at Sig who was lying on the bed with a complicated expression, and said hesitantly.
Ding Qiunan shook his head: "It's best now, the situation of Sigur is very dangerous now, he has a high fever for too long, every minute is dangerous, if he burns like this again, even if the fever subsides later, he is likely to be burned into a fool."
Xiao Batu opened his mouth after listening to Ding Qiunan's words, and finally didn't say anything, sighed deeply, faced Sige's family, and said the current situation in Mongolian.
The grassland at night is very dangerous, it is 66 years, although the wolf action has begun, but the wolves on the grassland have not been wiped out, there are still many wolves active in the grassland, the night is the hunting time for the wolves, under normal circumstances, the herdsmen at night will not go out of the gathering place to go deep into the grassland.
After the translation, the room fell silent, and after waiting for a while, Battle glanced at his son lying on the bed, gritted his teeth, and decided to ride to get the medicine now.
Zhang Dalei next to Li Ping'an, after seeing Battle's decision, stood up from behind and said loudly in Mongolian: "Battle, Sig is the child I watched grow up, you are too dangerous alone, I will follow you to Biegler where to get medicine"
"Brother Zhang, do you know how to write the three words An Najin?" Li Ping'an asked curiously
That's why I asked, mainly because Batel was a Mongolian, and he couldn't speak Chinese, let alone Chinese characters, and he didn't even know the three characters An Naijin in front of his eyes. As for Zhang Dalei, although he is a Han Chinese, Li Ping'an feels that he is also hanging, he has lived in the war years since he was a child, and he fled to Mongolia when he was a child, and it is estimated that he has not gone to school much and cannot recognize a few words.
Sure enough, after listening to Li Ping'an's words, Zhang Dalei showed an embarrassed look on his face, touched his hair embarrassedly, and said ashamedly: "I haven't been to school, so I can't read a few big characters."
Come on, looking at Zhang Dalei's appearance, it is estimated that the few big characters he said were also pasted gold on his face, and his name may not be recognized.
"In that case, let's go together, so that we can take care of each other" Li Ping'an looked at the two of them blindly, and could only say helplessly.
Hearing that Li Ping'an was also going, Zhang Dalei suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly pulled Li Ping'an's arm, and said anxiously: "How can this be done, brother, you haven't been to the grassland, you don't know the horror of the grassland at night, you may encounter wolves at any time when you go out at night, it's too dangerous, you can't go."
Although Ding Qiunan didn't speak, he also looked at Li Ping'an with a worried face.
The expressions of the two naturally fell in Li Ping'an's eyes, Li Ping'an smiled, then touched his hand to his waist, and reached out to take out the pistol in the warehouse.
Li Ping'an shook his pistol at everyone, and said, "Don't worry, don't be afraid of wolves, I have a gun in my hand, and the bullets are enough, as long as it is not besieged by dozens of wolves, there should be no problem."
Zhang Dalei saw that Li Ping'an had a gun on him, thinking that there were no large-scale wolves on the grassland now, so he agreed to Li Ping'an's request to go together. Although Ding Qiunan was worried, who made these two people not know what An Najin was.
After the three of them packed up, Zhang Dalei and Battle each carried a rifle, and the three of them lit torches and rode out of the herdsmen's gathering area quickly, heading in the direction of Bigler's house.
The yurt in Bigrad is about 10 kilometers away from the gathering area, and the horses are not fast at night, and they can travel at a speed of about 30 yards, and it is expected that they can rush through it in 40 minutes.
Halfway through the road, a wolf howl came, and the three of them were nervous, grabbed the reins of the horse, and slowly stopped, observing the surrounding environment. Taking advantage of the moonlight in the sky, I could vaguely see the figures of several animals dozens of meters in front of me.
Knowing that he had encountered the wolves, Battle did not hesitate to bring the gun on his back to the front, quickly loaded the bullet, and fired a shot into the open space in the distance.
"We met a pack of wolves, but fortunately, the scale of this wolf pack is not large, there are only four or five wolves, they don't dare to provoke us, they can scare away by shooting" After Battle shot, Zhang Dalei helped explain beside him.
Sure enough, several steppe wolves in the distance immediately ran away after hearing the gunshot, and completely disappeared from the sight of the three of them after a while.
After dealing with the small wolf pack, the three of them continued on the road, and the rest of the road went smoothly, and it didn't take long to arrive at the yurt in Bileg.
Smoothly got the medicine bag brought by Ding Qiunan in the jeep, and the three of them simply rested here in Biegler for a while, and then got on the horse again and returned.
The way back was very smooth, except for a wolf howl, not a single wolf hair was seen.
Back in Battle's yurt, Ding Qiunan, who was guarding the child's side, was relieved to see Li Ping'an come back safely, took the medicine bag from Li Ping'an's hand and rummaged for a while, and it took a lot of effort to let Sig swallow the medicine.
After the busy work was over, Li Ping'an and his wife followed little Batu back to the yurt prepared for him by his uncle Bart in the gratitude of the Battle family.
After the two of them washed up briefly, Ding Qiunan lay on the bed weakly, and said in a tired tone: "Ping'an, help me rub my buttocks, my butt hurts when riding a horse."
"Later, after I finish rubbing you, you can also rub it for me, when I just came back from Biegler, I felt that my ass was not my own, and riding a horse was really sinful" Li Ping'an pouted his ass and helped Ding Qiunan with a massage. Chinese Net
Half a year, Li Ping'an and his wife were asleep, and suddenly heard a fierce dog barking to wake up Ding Qiunan, Ding Qiunan was in a daze, and thought that Xiao Hei was barking outside, so he sat up from the bed in a daze, thinking about opening the door and going out to quarrel with Xiao Hei for a while, a terrible scream sounded outside, and the sleepiness on Ding Qiunan's body disappeared without a trace.
"Peace and peace, wake up, there seems to be an accident outside."
Ding Qiunan, who was frightened, saw that her husband was still sleeping next to her, and hurriedly shook Li Ping'an's body, trying to wake Li Ping'an up.
Li Ping'an, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by Ding Qiunan's violent shaking, rubbed his confused eyes, and just wanted to say something when a gunshot rang out outside.
Hearing this gunshot, Li Ping'an instantly sobered up, and hurriedly took out the pistol placed under the pillow, loaded the bullet quickly, opened the safe, and immediately protected Ding Qiunan behind him.
At this time, Xiao Batu's voice came from outside Li Ping'an's yurt: "Brother Ping'an, Sister Qiu Nan, there are wolves attacking the sheepfold outside, don't worry, now the adults are ready to go over and expel them."
Hearing that a wolf pack was coming, the little couple didn't take it in the yurt anymore, lit the kerosene lamp next to the bed, and the two of them got dressed by the dim light in the kerosene lamp, and quickly walked out of the yurt.
"What's going on? How could a wolf dare to attack a human settlement?" After coming out with a kerosene lamp, Li Ping'an hurriedly looked at Xiao Batu and asked.
Little Batu pointed to the moon in the sky and said angrily, "The dark clouds in the sky have covered the moon, and the wolves dare to attack the sheepfold at night, or they will not dare to come."
Following Xiao Batu's fingers, Li Ping'an looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was pitch black at this time, not to mention the sun, not even a star could be seen, and there was no other light source at all except for the fire of kerosene lamps around. In the place where the kerosene lamp does not shine, it looks like a black hole, and you can't see your fingers.
"Doctor Ding, Doctor Ding, someone is injured here, save people quickly" Just when Li Ping'an was thinking about whether to go out to help, Zhang Dalei's voice came.
Soon, I saw Zhang Dalei and another middle-aged man, carrying a person and hurriedly running over from the darkness.
Although Ding Qiunan was very scared, as a doctor, she still stood up from behind Li Ping'an: "Brother Zhang, how did this person get hurt?"
"I was attacked by a wolf, but fortunately, this kid has a big life, and he protects his throat with his arm, otherwise his little life would have been gone, you can take a look at his arm."
Hearing that he was bitten on the arm, Ding Qiunan turned on the flashlight to check the injury on the injured man's arm, and under the dim light of the flashlight, he saw that a large piece of meat was missing from the man's arm, and blood gushed out uncontrollably, seeing that the injury was so serious, Ding Qiunan hurriedly commanded everyone to carry the injured man into the yurt.
A group of Mongolians who can't understand Chinese naturally can't help much, and all three of them who can speak Chinese stayed to help, and they worked hard for a long time, which stopped the bleeding, and this man's arm will definitely leave sequelae in the future, but the fate is saved.
After finishing his work, the bloody smell in the house made Li Ping'an feel nauseous, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and walked to the open space outside the yurt to smoke a cigarette to relax.
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky had not dispersed, and it was still the sky outside with no fingers visible, and Li Ping'an, who had a lot of blood on his body, had just lit a fire, and suddenly felt as if he was being targeted by a beast, and the feeling of palpitations hit his whole body.
didn't have time to think about it, his body subconsciously flashed back, and a gust of fishy wind swept by, and the claws of the steppe wolf left a long blood mark on Li Ping'an's back.
