Chapter 191: Falling Ill

It was still dark, and the people at the inn got up.

The back kitchen is in charge of the back kitchen, the guest room is in charge of the guest room, and the lobby is in charge of the lobby.

Last night, the people in the inn were busy until twelve o'clock in the evening before going to rest, while Liu Moang and the exhausted Wang Chaoyang hugged a futon and slept outside the bar counter in the lobby.

Since 9 o'clock last night, there have been obviously few cars on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, and sometimes not a single car has passed for more than 10 minutes.

But even so, Wang Chaoyang still insisted until almost twelve o'clock before entering the inn to rest.

Anyway, he is also a middle-aged man who is nearly fifty years old, and his age is not forgiving!

But by then, the inn was full. And it's also the inn that has never been full since it opened.

It's a real full. The rooms in the backyard have been renovated, and there are a total of 32 rooms upstairs and downstairs, with a total of 96 beds, all of which are fully arranged, and there is not a single empty bed.

Although the rooms in the back are often full like this, yesterday was different. Because in addition to the full room, even in the front desk lobby, there are more than 20 people sleeping.

These people are all passing drivers.

There were more than 50 large and small cars parked outside the inn, not only the parking lot in front of the inn was full, but even the open space on the east and west sides of the inn was also full of cars.

But that's it, there are still I don't know how many cars want to live in the inn but they are all persuaded by Wang Chaoyang to go to other roadside stores.

As for whether the owners of other roadside shops can have the same conscience as Liu Moang and provide food and lodging for these hard-working drivers at cost price, it is not something that Wang Chaoyang can worry about.

No way, the inn really can't accommodate more people.

Although there are still private rooms available in the inn, in order to make room for the lobby, all the tables and chairs in the lobby have been moved to private rooms, and there are no more people living in the single rooms.

The inn didn't even have enough futon, and the driver who lived in the lobby had to take down the futon from his car and use it. For a driver like this, Lao Liu simply confiscated the money.

Fortunately, the inn has a heating boiler, and the heating is enough to burn, so the passing drivers don't have to worry about freezing.

When Liu Moang got up, Wang Chaoyang was still asleep, and Lao Liu couldn't bear to call him. Yesterday, this old man persevered in the ice and snow outside for more than ten hours, and when he asked himself, Lao Liu himself felt that he couldn't hold on.

waited until breakfast was ready, and Lao Liu decided to call Uncle Wang up, but at this time he found out that this uncle actually had a high fever.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang......" Lao Liu took a towel soaked in cold water and put it on Wang Chaoyang's hot forehead, and called him softly.

Wang Chaoyang opened his eyes in a daze, took a few breaths with difficulty, and then coughed violently.

Obviously, Wang Chaoyang's state is not good.

Wang Mu whispered on the side: "Uncle Wang's condition is not very good, if you don't send him to the hospital immediately, I'm worried that it will cause pulmonary edema." Well......" she hesitated, "maybe Uncle Wang already has signs of pulmonary edema now." ”

In the plateau, the most frightening disease is not any other disease, but a cold and fever! In particular, fever is the most frightening.

Because this disease can easily cause pulmonary edema or even cerebral edema, which can kill people.

Even if you have lived in the plateau for a long time, once you have a fever, you will be just as prone to this extremely serious complication as someone who has just come up.

On TV, you can sometimes see the news that those border guards fall on the patrol road while patrolling, in fact, it is caused by this acute high-altitude pulmonary edema.

The border guards were all strong men with great physiques, and they had lived on the plateau for a long time, but why did they also have this kind of acute altitude sickness? In fact, many times it was caused by a cold or fever.

The environment of the plateau is far worse than that of the plains, and the most common cold and fever in the plains is that it will cause a pneumonia, but in the plateau, there is no such thing as pneumonia, or the cold and fever will not cause other complications? As long as the complications are caused, they are usually acute diseases such as pulmonary edema, which can kill people.

Although Wang Chaoyang has lived on the plateau for more than 20 years, he still cannot avoid this happening.

Several drivers who were ready to help next to him whispered and talked in low voices.

They have been running on the plateau all year round, and they naturally understand what kind of situation this comrade of the people's police who helped them a lot yesterday is now facing. If you normally go straight to the hospital, it's no problem, but now that the snow is closing the road, the ambulance can't get here.

But Lao Liu didn't have much to worry about? The Bashu man named Xiao Luo who he met at the Genla Pass at the beginning had already become cyanosis, and he could get his life back with mountain spring water, Wang Chaoyang's illness was far less serious than that of Xiao Luo's, and Lao Liu was full of confidence.

"Wangmu, you go and bring a cup of mountain spring water, don't brew butter tea. Lao Liu commanded in a low voice.

Wangmu nodded, she naturally understood why the boss said this.

The kind of mountain spring butter tea given to the guests naturally couldn't be compared with the initial potion, and the boss was obviously going to use the original potion to treat Wang Chaoyang.

When the water was brought over, Lao Liu took out the "medicine bag", poured it into the water cup one by one, and then helped Wang Chaoyang up: "Uncle Wang, drink this cup of potion, and your symptoms will be alleviated." ”

Although Wang Chaoyang was in a daze, his consciousness was not lost.

He pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty, and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't expect my old king to drink this potion of your kid......"

"Hehe, Uncle Wang, if you want to drink early, I'll make you a cup every day. Come on, don't talk about that, hurry up and drink this potion, let's hurry up and get better than anything else. ”

Wang Chaoyang nodded, drank the water in the cup in a small sip, Lao Liu gently put him down, and put the cup he slept in last night on his body, "Uncle Wang, rest again." After a while, we will feel better, let's drink some hot porridge, and I will get you some ginger syrup, and sweat all over the body to fight for a good profit. ”

"What's the situation outside?" Wang Chaoyang still didn't worry about the outside.

"The situation outside is much better, the snow is light, and it doesn't take long to stop. You don't care about the outside now, the most important thing is to get your body in good shape first. Do you still want to be on duty like this?"

The corners of Wang Chaoyang's mouth tugged again, and he didn't insist anymore, but closed his eyes slightly.

Lao Liu stood up and said to the drivers around him: "Be quiet when you eat for a while, and if anyone feels uncomfortable or has cold symptoms, tell me quickly, don't burn it up, it will be troublesome." ”

The drivers, who slept in the lobby last night, all nodded.

There is something about the fact that Boss Xiao Liu of Tianlu Inn can treat high reactions, and it has also begun to spread in the circle of these drivers who run the Qinghai-Tibet line all year round. However, many people are just hearsay, and they have never seen it, and today, these 20 drivers are fortunate to see this scene.

The hot breakfast was brought up by several waiters, and Lao Liu didn't have the heart to eat it. He left Dexie Maiduo to take care of Wang Chaoyang, and walked outside the inn to smoke a cigarette.

The heavy snow is indeed much smaller, and it is gradually getting windy, which somewhat makes Lao Liu feel a little relieved.

At the very least, this heavy snowfall will not be as heavy as the 10.7 snow disaster, which is the best outcome.

If it rains for nearly 40 hours like the 10.7 snow disaster, the Qinghai-Tibet highway will not be open to traffic for at least a few days.

Looking up at the eastern sky, the sky was already faintly bright. The most important thing is that the eastern sky can be faintly visible under the skylight, and the sky is not as dense as a lead plate like yesterday.

Clearly, this is a sign that the rain clouds are about to disperse.

Looking into the distance, the sky and the earth are white, and even the Qinghai-Tibet Highway is snow-white.

Obviously, there weren't many cars passing in the second half of the night.

That's a good thing. If there are too many passing cars, the snow will be crushed by the wheels, and then it will freeze, which is a layer of ground leather armor. It can't be swept at all with a snowplow, so you have to shovel it hard with a snowplow.

There was a faint flash of orange light in the north, and needless to say, it was the snow plow of the road guards.

These road guards who maintain the Qinghai-Tibet Highway all year round are the most familiar with the plateau climate, and when it will snow heavily and when the snow will stop, they can touch it as long as they look at the sky.

Apparently, these road guards also noticed that the heavy snow was about to stop. They had to clear as many roads as possible with snowplows before the big trucks hit the road. At the same time, it is also necessary to observe the road conditions, once the road surface is seriously iced, they also need to sprinkle the anti-skid soil accumulated on the roadside on the road surface to reduce the situation of the vehicle skidding on the road as much as possible.

Before a cigarette was finished, seven or eight anxious drivers went out, and seeing the heavy snow and seeing the light, these drivers discussed and prepared to go on the road.

Lao Liu leaned over and scattered a circle of cigarettes one by one before asking, "What, this is ready to go on the road?

"Don't wait. A driver in his forties frowned and said, "Actually, we don't want to get on the road so quickly, but this goods can't afford to be delayed, and if the delivery time is delayed, people will have to deduct the money." If you catch up with the unreasonable, this freight is not good. ”

Several other drivers also nodded, and they were still very grateful to Boss Liu of the inn. After all, they are also a place to stay, and they also provide hot water and hot meals, so they don't let these drivers suffer on a snowy day.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you'd better wait a little longer. You see, our road guards over there have all started to clear the snow, and it is estimated that all the road guards within the snow area on this road have been dispatched. I think if you wait for them to clear the snow from the road before you leave, one will make the work of these road guards easier, and the other will be a great help for you to drive safely, right?

Several drivers glanced at each other, then at the slowly moving snowplow in the distance, and all smiled and nodded......
