When it doesn't snow, it takes about two hours to drive this winding mountain road, and this time Mo Xun drove for nearly three and a half hours to get down to a relatively gentle section.

Out of the mountain, I felt that the wind and snow were even bigger, and the goose feathers and heavy snow were glued to the car window, but fortunately, the car was filled with oil, the air conditioner was also turned on sufficiently, and the wipers kept sweeping, so that it did not freeze into ice.

The instrument inside the car showed that the temperature outside the mountain was actually lower than the outside of the valley military factory, close to minus 50 degrees in the middle of the night.

There used to be a few small houses on both sides of the road, which used to be shops, selling groceries and repairing cars, but now only the roofs of these houses can be seen, and all the roofs below the roofs are buried in the snow.

Qi He said: "I thought the snow in the mountains was big, but I didn't expect it to be bigger outside." These houses are buried in snow, where did the man go? ”

Mo Xun said: "Two days ago, there was news on the radio that the town government had vacated all the government buildings to temporarily house the affected people, and the town hospital was also doing its best to accommodate the patients. Schools have been closed and school buildings have been used as temporary relief shelters. ”

Mo Xun drove directly to the town hospital.

This is the largest town outside the mountain, and it is considered a transportation hub town. It has a resident population of about 40,000 people, and there is a town-level hospital, which is next to the new comprehensive service center of the government building.

Driving all the way, Mo Xun found that only those buildings were lit up. He worries that the black houses may not be to save electricity, but that there is also a widespread power outage in the town.

Hospitals and government buildings have backup power, and usually diesel generators can support it for a while, but diesel fuel is also available. The extreme cold lasted for months, and without supplies, or if the power supply network could not be repaired, it would be difficult for the people in the town to stay up.

When he arrived at the town hospital, Mo Xun found that the order here was quite good, and the road in front of the door looked to be cleared. There are some cars in the hospital compound, but there is a passage for ambulances to get in and out. Instead of blocking the car here, he pulled over and parked outside the courtyard gate. The four of them were all dressed thickly, and they could still hold on to walking from outside the courtyard.

Mo Xun parked the car, carried the sturdy Ma Dachuan on his back, Qi He supported Lu Cunxi, and came to the gate of the hospital despite the wind and snow.

There were some people in military coats guarding the entrance hall, and when they saw someone coming, they hurriedly opened the door and pulled the first-aid bed against the plastic sheeting against the wind and snow to meet them.

The next thing, Qi He didn't let Mo Xun worry about it. Mo Xun could see that Qi He was very organized in his speech and affairs, and he also had experience in sending people to seek medical treatment, and the origin of the two injured people's illnesses was very clear. The hospital knew that Ma and Lu were active-duty soldiers, and they gave priority to free treatment, and the procedures were simple, and Qi He did it alone.

The emergency room was full of people, both inside and outside, and the waiting hall was warm with a few coal stoves, and most of the family members were crowded here. After nightfall, they all make do with finding a place to sleep. Mo Xun They came late at night, and the chairs were all occupied. The two of them found an open space against the wall and laid their own mats to rest.

Mo Xun said: "Wait until dawn and then go back." ”

Qi He looked at his watch, it was already two o'clock in the morning, although he was quite worried about Feng Ke's situation, but he still said: "Then how about contacting Feng Ke at dawn?" ”

Mo Xun smiled: "Okay, let's get up at six o'clock, eat something first, and then contact Feng Ke." ”

Qi He said: "Brother Mo, you sleep for a while, I'll wait to see the emergency news." You can rest assured, we are the best at staying up late when we study architectural design. ”

Mo Xun was not polite, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Unexpectedly, an hour later, another wave of people came from the emergency department, led by Feng Ke.

Qi He shouted in surprise and concern: "Feng Ke, why did you come to the hospital?" ”

Feng Ke recognized Qi He and said briefly: "Teacher Ruan's daughter is sick, and Teacher Ruan's mother is also having a fever, I accompanied them to the hospital, and they are all girls to take care of them." ”

After speaking, Feng Ke was busy settling the two patients, and Teacher Ruan went to go through the relevant procedures.

Mo Xun opened his eyes and looked at it, didn't ask much, closed his eyes and rested. It's useless to worry about it now, when Feng Ke is done, if he has time, it's not too late to understand the situation.

Qi He was a little worried and helped Feng Ke find a bed together. As a result, the beds were reserved for those who had broken bones or could not sit still at all, and patients with high fever, such as Mr. Ruan's wife and daughter, were arranged to sit down in a chair and get an intravenous drip first, and other examinations could not be scheduled for the time being.

Shi Niang said that she just had a fever because of the cold, but it was not a big deal, mainly because Ruan Qianqian was a little uncomfortable before she went down the mountain, and the girl's palace was cold and bloody, and she was frozen on a special day, so she died of pain, and the painkillers did not have much effect.

The little girl's body trembled so much, Feng Ke took off his coat and covered the little girl, just wanted to find a place to rest, Qi He leaned over and took off his coat to Feng Ke, and whispered: "You are also a girl, don't get cold." ”

Feng Ke didn't take the coat and said with a smile: "You put it on, I'm fine, there is a stove here, I wear a lot." ”

Qi He asked, "Are you going down the mountain smoothly?" ”

Feng Ke sighed: "I set off at half past eleven o'clock at noon today, and I went down to the bottom of the mountain at three o'clock in the afternoon, and then walked to the town on foot, and it was cold enough, and someone almost fell behind in the middle." Fortunately, they encouraged each other and supported each other, and finally walked to the town before dark. ”

"Where do you live now? Is there something missing? It seems that there is no mobile phone signal when the power goes out, it is inconvenient to withdraw money, I still have cash here, why don't I give it to you first? ”

Feng Ke excused himself: "No money. We came to town only to find out that there was also a power outage in the town. It is said that the hydropower stations are frozen and cannot generate electricity. We lived in a government settlement on the edge of town. It used to be a middle school in the town, the conditions were okay, crowded but warm, and food was given every day, no money. ”

"Will you come back with me tomorrow morning?" Qi He asked in a low voice.

Feng Ke said: "Shi Niang and Qianqian are both sick, I will definitely stay here to take care of them." By the way, if you leave tomorrow morning, you can go to Zhenyi Middle School, and I want to return the climbing rope I borrowed from Sister Qi Qing to her, maybe you can use it in the future. ”

"We plan to drive back tomorrow morning."

"Can you drive outside now?" Feng Ke was very surprised, when they came down the winding mountain road, they saw that the road surface was frozen into a slope, and the car was likely to slide down the mountain if it was not well controlled. After coming down from the mountain, everyone walked on the flat ground, and they didn't see a single car, and they thought they couldn't drive.

Qi He said, "Sort of." The winding mountain road we walked out of the valley was like a sloping ice rink, more than a meter higher than the original road, and the guardrails were buried, that is, Brother Mo dared to drive at the same level. ”

"You came to the hospital at night, is anyone sick?"

Qi He briefly introduced the failure of the plane delivering supplies and the situation when the two soldiers were rescued by them.

Feng Ke said anxiously: "The airdrop materials were not put in place, right?" The people who stayed at the resort were still waiting for supplies. ”
