Wang Juanfeng glanced at her and said, "That sounds nice, but if anything happens over there, you'll still be the fastest runner!"
Qiao Xuejun felt guilty and didn't respond. "My feet aren't cold anymore. They're a little hot and a little painful."
Wang Juanfeng: "That means blood circulation has been restored."
After a while, Wang Juanfeng tested the water again and added some hot water if it was cold.
After soaking her feet for half an hour, Qiao Xuejun lifted her feet and dried them.
"It's okay, the skin isn't broken." Wang Juanfeng observed the frostbitten area and saw that the tissue had turned red and soft. He picked up the ointment and applied it to her. "This is to prevent infection. Elevate your feet when you sleep at night and observe for a few more days."
She also wrapped her with gauze.
Qiao Xuejun picked up another tube of frostbite ointment and applied it to the frostbite bumps.
Wang Juanfeng comforted her again: "It's warm in our shelter, everything will be fine."
Just after applying the medicine, there was a sound from the intercom that Qiao Xuejun placed on the table. She was still on the channel between her and Zhao Xian today.
It was Zhao Xian looking for her.
Qiao Xuejun took the intercom and said, "I'm here."
Zhao Xian: "Wu Haifan said you went back."
Qiao Xuejun: "Well, let him tell you when I leave."
Zhao Xian: "Are you home already?"
Qiao Xuejun: "Well, it's been a while."
Zhao Xian seemed to be relieved: "Well, it's good that we're here."
Wang Juanfeng said from the side: "It's not good, my feet are frostbitten."
Zhao Xian's voice was heavy: "Frostbite?!"
He immediately asked, "Is it serious? What's going on?"
Qiao Xuejun whispered, "He had a little frostbite, but he's been given medicine and is recovering. My doctor, Dr. Wang, said we can confirm the result after a few more days of observation..."
Wang Juanfeng said directly: "It's frozen white, and it's suspected to be tissue necrosis. It needs to be carefully observed."
Qiao Xuejun: “…”
Zhao Xian's voice tightened. "Thank you for your concern, Doctor Wang. What medicine do you need for treatment? I'll go to the medical office and get it and send it over right now."
Seeing Zhao Xian's nervous attitude, Wang Juanfeng softened his tone: "No need. I have all the medicine here. For now, we just need to observe carefully. I hope it won't get worse."
Zhao Xian lowered his voice and said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Doctor Wang to take care of Qiao Qiao."
Wang Juanfeng: "Don't worry, Lord. I will certainly take good care of our Qiao Qiao."
Qiao Xuejun interrupted their conversation: "You should go to bed early. You didn't sleep much last night. I want to sleep too."
Zhao Xian: "Have a good rest."
Qiao Xuejun ended the call and stood up: "I'll go check out the incubation room."
She built a special small incubation room next to the small compartment, and placed the eggs in an incubator for constant temperature incubation.
She asked Wang Juanfeng, "Have you turned over today?"
"Behave yourself and don't move." Wang Juanfeng quickly stood up to support her, but he also knew that she would not feel at ease unless she worked, so he supported her and went with her. "Just do as you said, air it out, turn it over, and don't miss a single time."
My foot was bandaged and still aching dully, and my movements were somewhat restricted. But wearing slippers, it was fine.
Qiao Xuejun felt that she didn't need any help: "I'll go and take a look. This batch may be able to hatch tonight."
·
The frostbite on Qiao Xuejun's feet did not worsen, and after applying medicine, it was gradually getting better.
Zhao Xian was very nervous and came to see her early the next morning. He also brought some freeze-dried food from Uncle Zhang for her as snacks.
However, he had something to do, so he was called away after seeing Qiao Xuejun. Qiao Xuejun also took the low-temperature clothing back with him.
After that, Zhao Xian asked this question every day.
Qiao Xuejun felt that he was too concerned. The conditions were like this during the extreme cold period. Their cold-resistant supplies could only ensure that they would not freeze to death. Everyone would suffer from the cold to some extent, whether it was their hands, feet or ears, it was unavoidable.
The ice harvesting team and the patrol team often go to the medical department to get frostbite ointment. She is not the first one to be frostbitten, and her injury is very minor. She has recovered in the past few days.
Later, Zhao Xian came to confirm again in person, and only when he was sure that she was better did he feel relieved.
During the remaining month of extreme cold, Qiao Xuejun stayed at home and focused on breeding work.
The planting area also tends to new cotton seedlings, planted after the previous harvest. She also allocated another plot to grow some vegetables, adding peppers.
Two months of extreme cold finally ended.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully surviving the first year of extreme cold! Spring is about to arrive! As a reward for surviving the severe cold, the [Thaw Gift Pack] is available!"
The last day of extreme cold passed safely, and the system began to broadcast:
"When spring comes, everything will come back to life, and the stream in your base will flow again."
"As many plants as possible will be revived near the base, so please stay tuned for changes! Currently confirmed to be added are beets!"
Qiao Xuejun: "What kind of beets are you talking about?"
There are several types of beets, including those for eating leaves, eating roots, and making sugar.
The system displayed a picture. The plant on it looked like a white radish with long leaves on it and white tubers as roots underneath.
Qiao Xuejun identified it: "Sugar beet."
This is the main sugar crop grown in the northern region. Some varieties are particularly cold-resistant and can survive below -20℃.
Qiao Xuejun: "Where?"
System: "I will revive it near the base. Pay close attention and you will find it. Host, you can ask the survivors in the base to help search for it!"
Qiao Xuejun: "Humanity works hard, right?"
System: "Yes! But it's near the base, within these three mountains, not very far. It's easy to find."
