Chapter 170 There are patients lying on both sides of the road
From Naxiang Commune to the northernmost mountains of Yuqin County, Lin Sanqi drove a large truck at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.
There was no way, the road conditions were really bad. This kind of dirt road was more suitable for tractors. The tonnage of the big truck was still too heavy, but fortunately the big truck had been modified and had enough strength.
Lin Sanqi looked at the map while driving carefully on the dirt road.
Suddenly he found two children walking on the side of the road. They walked very slowly, with their hands hanging down and their toes dragging the ground, which looked very strange.
If this wasn't an urban novel, Lin Sanqi would have wondered if it was a zombie in a doomsday novel?
The big truck slowed down again. The dirt road was not wide, and Lin Sanqi was afraid that the car would scratch the two children.
While on a business trip, you may have to pay dozens of dollars to kill a chicken, let alone two living people.
Just when the pedestrians and the truck were about to meet, suddenly the little boy slowly backed into the middle of the road, blocking the way of the truck.
Lin Sanqi's eyes widened and she quickly held the pistol, thinking that she wouldn't be so unlucky, right? Encountered a robber?
There are vast mountains and primeval forests all around. If someone really encounters a robbery, it will really make the heavens and the earth unstoppable. If you are beaten to death and buried in the ground, you will never be able to solve the case.
At this moment, Lin Sanqi's back was wet.
Just when Lin Sanqi was nervous, the little girl who was standing squatted down, pushed the little boy and started to cry. As she cried, the little girl slowly lay down on the ground without making any sound.
At this moment, Lin Sanqi really regretted why there wasn't a camera installed on the truck?
Even if this situation is not robbery, it is at least a scam, right? Otherwise, why did he fall in front of his car by accident?
Lin Sanqi had a dark secret in her heart: What's wrong with children learning from such a low-income person?
However, after he waited for more than ten minutes, no group of people rushed out and yelled at him to leave money for traveling. Nor did two old men jump out and cry and accuse him of hitting someone. He didn't want to leave without 200 yuan.
The two children lay motionless in the mud, not even moving when a snake swam across them.
Only then did Lin Sanqi realize that he might not have encountered criminals, but patients. Something happened to these two children.
My mind also quickly recalled that the female receptionist at the guest house had said that something happened in Xiang Commune. Could it have anything to do with it?
Lin Sanqi did not dare to be careless, so she changed the pistol into the submachine gun given by Dean Fang, then jumped out of the truck, leaned against the car, facing the woods, and moved little by little towards the two children.
He also shouted: "Stop hiding, I have seen you, come out quickly, or I will shoot you if you don't come out!"
After waiting for a while, except for a few birds chirping, not even a ghost could be seen in the woods. It was eerily quiet.
Lin Sanqi looked around cautiously while slowly squatting down, keeping one hand on the trigger of the submachine gun and gently pushing the two children on the ground with the other hand:
"Wake up, wake up, wake up!"
Lin Sanqi was actually quite wary at this time. He even guarded against children.
Because he once heard an old man in the village who was a soldier say that when they were fighting monkeys in the south, children would also carry weapons and often pretend to be pitiful on the roadside.
Our army began to feel sorry for the children and when they were about to help them, the children would throw several grenades over them, causing great harm to our army.
Women and children cannot be trusted on the battlefield, and Lin Sanqi, who is full of inner worries now, also doesn't trust the two children. Who knows if they will suddenly get angry and sprinkle a handful of lime powder into his eyes.
Okay, I’ve read too many martial arts novels.
After pushing for a long time, the two children were still motionless. Lin Sanqi reached out and touched the little girl's carotid artery. If there was a pulse, it meant that she was still alive.
Lin Sanqi then touched the little boy's carotid artery and confirmed that both of them were alive, but it seemed that the situation was not too optimistic.
Lin Sanqi threw the submachine gun behind him and observed carefully, he found that the faces of the two children were very sallow, their eyeballs were sunken, their foreheads were very hot, and the most important thing was that there were small patterns on their skin.
Lin Sanqi is a medical student, so he naturally understands that this is a typical sign of dehydration. Now the two children have fallen into a state of shock. Without first aid, they may not see the sun tomorrow.
Lin Sanqi looked up and looked around. There were no villages or pedestrians passing by, which was a bit scratching his head.
To save or not to save?
If you want to save someone, first of all you don’t know if you can save him or not. If you can’t save him, will he be beaten to death by his parents and tribesmen in the primeval forest of Qin County?
There is no doubt that even in modern civilized society, it is common for doctors to be beaten and killed after they fail to save patients in hospitals, and it is by no means uncommon.
In addition, rescuing people would take time. He had a procurement task. It would be okay to go back later. But if he didn't return to the capital for a long time, I'm afraid Deputy Section Chief Wu would take the opportunity to get angry again.
But if these two children were not saved and left to lie like this in the wilderness, they would probably be bitten to death by poisonous snakes, eaten by wild beasts, or most likely die of illness.
Lin Sanqi is not a holy mother, but his conscience and the promise he made as a medical student cannot allow him to ignore death.
Save, save.
"It's fate that you met me. Alas, why are these two children so smelly? It seems they don't care about hygiene."
Lin Sanqi was about to pick up the child and put it in the back of the truck, but when she picked it up, she realized that the child was very smelly. It wasn't just the body odor of the hair and body, but a very obvious odor of feces.
He didn't dare to touch little girls, but he didn't care about little boys. Lin Sanqi quietly pulled open the little boy's tattered shorts and discovered that the stench came from the inside of the pants. Did he poop on his pants? !
Lin Sanqi jumped into the car, took out a mask and gloves, suppressed her nausea, carried the two children into the car and laid them down,
Even if you want to rescue patients, you can't do it in the wild. There are too many mosquitoes here and the environmental sanitation is very poor. It is very easy to cause pollution, which may accelerate the death of children.
He was going to Naxiang Commune. Looking at the map, it should be not far away, so he speeded up and drove forward.
20 minutes later, he saw the building appearing at the end of the mountain road. He felt happy and felt that as long as he found the commune health center, the two children would be saved.
But when he excitedly drove the truck into the town, he realized that things seemed a bit serious.
The town was not at all like the lively little mountain village he had imagined.
He originally thought that the road was full of ethnic minorities going to the market, wearing beautiful ethnic costumes, all smiling and dancing to welcome Lin Sanqi, a distinguished guest from afar.
The real situation is that there are people lying everywhere on the ground.
The house, under the eaves, and even on the roadside were full of people, including men, women, old and young.
Don't even describe your mental state. He was lying on the road and probably only had one breath left.
The key is that the air is filled with a very strong smell of shit, as if I am right next to an open pit.
Many doctors in white coats were busy coming in and out. From time to time, someone was screaming in need of help. From time to time, there were cries. Not far away, there was a plume of green smoke flying into the sky.
The scene was very chaotic. Those who knew it was a small mountain village in 1959, but those who did not know it thought it was the scene after the Japanese raids in 1939.
No matter how stupid Lin Sanqi was, he could see that something was indeed going on here at Xiang Commune, something big.
After all, he had studied medicine, and he had just experienced those terrible three years of masks, so what flashed in his mind was that there must be some kind of malignant infectious disease here.
Just like the thoroughfare city of nine provinces back then.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi only had one thought left in her mind, she had to run away quickly, otherwise she would still be here to celebrate the New Year.
However, Naxiang Commune is located in a small mountain village with only a small road in the village. It is impossible for a large truck to turn around, not to mention that the roadside is full of patients, so it must drive out of the village and find a place to turn around.
But it was impossible for such a big truck to drive into this small mountain village without being noticed.
Sure enough, I saw several people carrying guns rushing over, and a thin old man among them suddenly stopped the truck.
"You guys in the car, come down, what are you doing?"
There was a militiaman who was quite alert. He jumped up and took a look and found two children lying in the back of the car. He was instantly vigilant:
"Head of the township, there are two bodies of children in the car." (Actually, he is the director of the commune. He has just been reorganized, so he is still called the head of the township.)
Hearing that there was a child's body, the already agitated small mountain village immediately became agitated. Many people gathered around, holding a gun in their hands. Even the medical staff picked up the stones on the roadside.
Lin Sanqi thought to himself that this was a place where wolf soldiers were sent out, and all the people were soldiers. It was estimated that children would not be lost here, and criminals would be easily beaten to death.
"Calm down, everyone, calm down. I'm not a bad person. I came from the capital to purchase Chinese medicinal materials."
As Lin Sanqi got out of the car, she raised her red work permit high, using this way of surrender to tell everyone that she was innocent, lest she be beaten to death with a pole.
A militiaman shouted:
"From the capital? From the capital to our small mountain village with no shit? And how come you, a northerner, can speak awkward Cantonese?"
No doubt, the birthplace of Cantonese is actually Guangxi, so there is no obstacle to communication between people from Guangdong and Guangxi.
Otherwise, in this era when Mandarin is not widely spoken, northerners will be fine in southern cities, but they will have no way to communicate with the locals in the countryside, and they will not understand the language at all.
Mayor Lei opened his work permit, checked the letter of introduction, and then shouted excitedly:
"Oh, it's really a comrade from the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. That's great. We need doctors here so much. Let me introduce myself. I am the mayor of Naxiang Township. Oh no, I should be the director of the commune. My surname is Lei."
Lin Sanqi was a little anxious. She didn't know anything about her current situation, and she was just a fired intern. Suddenly she had to play roles like Academician Zhong Nanshan and Academician Li Lanjuan. How could she be so virtuous and skilled?
He also wanted to run away as soon as possible and stay away from this place of right and wrong.
"Chief Lei, I, I was just passing by. These two children fainted on the road. I came to rescue them. So what, if nothing happens, I'll leave first."
