Chapter 647: Climbing the Mountain and Wading Through the Snow
"What about you? Didn't you bring a first aid kit too?"
"I brought it, but there's no medicine in it."
Under Shen Yanming's puzzled gaze, Li Gangtie explained: "There are mostly alcohol gauze, and very little cold and fever medicine. I used it on those two idiots a few days ago."
"You didn't add anything?"
"There is a shortage of medicine everywhere now, and you can't just replenish it whenever you want." Then he murmured, "If it were you, you could produce it yourself."
Shen Yanming heard it and whispered in Li Gangtie's ear: "When we get back, I'll prepare some for you. Hide this thing yourself, it can save your life at a critical moment."
Li Gangtie's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly, lowering his voice and saying, "Don't worry, I'll keep it for myself and won't give it to anyone else!"
Shen Yanming didn't believe he could do it, but he still decided to prepare some good medicine for him. Whether he kept it for himself in the future or gave it to someone in need, it would be a good deed for him.
Seeing that no one had come out of this house, Shen Yanming said, "Let's clear the way and go to other people's houses to check. If they have similar situations, we can send them to the hospital together."
By the time you send one person off, you find that there are other people in need of emergency treatment, but the car has already disappeared.
Li Gangtie nodded and made the arrangements.
One of the group stayed here to help, and the rest cleared the way along the house.
Every time I passed a house, I would go up and knock on the door to see if anyone was alive and if anyone needed help. I would also tell them about the rarity of this ice lump.
"I was wondering why it suddenly got so cold. It must be this bad guy's fault!" After hearing what the guard said, the old man bent down, picked up a lump of ice from the snow at the door, and threw it away.
That expression was as if he wanted to eat someone.
"Hey, sir, don't be so excited! Throw away the ice, it will still sublime, and the temperature here will continue to drop."
"Then what should we do?" The old man didn't know what sublimation meant, but after hearing what the guard said, he knew that he was making things worse.
"Is there anyone else at home? Let's all come out and look for some ice lumps. Give them to us and we'll take them back and seal them up."
The old man rolled his eyes and said, "From what you said, this thing is still a good thing?"
Li Gangtie coughed lightly, not knowing what to say.
Shen Yanming smiled and said: "Whether this ice is a good thing or not, no one can say for sure. For now, it is a bad thing, because sublimation will absorb heat, which will cause the ambient temperature to drop, causing the people to get cold, and the animals and plants to freeze.
But it is not impossible to use it, for example, as a refrigerator in the summer, which saves energy and worry.”
It's sublimation, so it won't leave any water stains.
"Also, the research institute is stepping up its research. Who knows, this ice may be useful in other fields. After all, it fell from the sky, so it's not that simple."
Shen Yanming's words were actually very moderate, but to the old man, it felt like there was a huge treasure in front of him that he must not miss.
People always like to hear something that is beneficial to them. Even if there is no special meaning in the words, they can hear some bewitching meaning.
The old man was happy and asked, "Then how do we preserve this thing? It can't make the temperature at home lower, right?" They originally burned coal and charcoal, so if they took it back, they would have to increase coal consumption.
"Just seal it up in bottles and cans. We thought people might not have that many containers, so we brought a supply truck out.
The ice lumps we pick up have to be processed again after being transported back. Otherwise, the temperature in Hai City will drop too low and the wheat seedlings will be frozen to death. I am afraid there will be no yield next year. "Li Gangtie said.
"Oh, yes, I was worried before you came. This year is ten degrees colder than last year. I was worried that people would survive but the food would not. In the end, won't everyone die?"
As the old man spoke, his expression became more sad, causing the guards present to feel heavy-hearted.
"Let's not think about these things now. It's useless to think about them. Let's quickly collect the ice lumps and control the temperature.
If you are worried that this thing will be of great use in the future, just keep some for yourself. It doesn't matter if you don't want to keep it, our guard team will keep it. If there is any problem in the future, can we not give it out to everyone to use? Don't you think so? "Chen Yanming smiled and changed the subject.
"Yes, yes, that's right, young man. Well, I'll go and inform my old friends to come out and pick up ice cubes if they are free."
"Okay, you have to wear something warmer, it's cold outside. And tell your friends too, it's snowing outside, it's not easy for us to go to the hospital now." Li Gangtie warned.
"Okay, I got it. You guys go and get busy. Don't worry about this. Leave it to me!" The old man took charge of everything.
"Well, let our little warrior accompany you. He can help you if you need him."
Li Gangtie was really worried about the old man, so he didn't get too excited and said something that didn't happen. They couldn't afford the responsibility of "spreading rumors". It would be better to find someone to watch and make amends if there was anything wrong.
By the way, check the situation of other families. Don't let anyone freeze to death while they don't know about it.
Li Gangtie spoke politely, and the old man did not refuse. He happily led the guards to the homes of his old friends.
But the road had not yet been opened, and the two people were walking like they were walking in the snow.
The guard was fine, he had gotten used to it in the past few days, but the old man was not. He was shivering with cold before he could even take a few steps.
The guard couldn't bear it and asked, "How about you go home and wait, I'll go."
The old man didn't want to lose face, so he waved his hand and said, "I said I'll take care of it, so I can't leave it to you! When we get to my buddy's house and drink a few sips of his white wine, we'll be fine. Don't worry, young man!"
"Okay, then be careful. If you can't hold on any longer, just tell me and I'll take you home."
The uncle rolled his eyes at him and walked away. Who am I looking down upon? He didn't think about the fact that when I was young, you wore open-crotch pants.
If the guard knew what the master was thinking, he would definitely laugh three times.
After all, it's still about age and seniority. I haven't seen you showing off any physical advantages.
Even if you say, "I am a strong man and have been climbing mountains and wading through water since I was young," it will be more convincing than wearing open-crotch pants!
Shen Yanming and Li Gangtie didn't know what was happening here. They led people to shovel snow and clear the way.
Several houses I passed by had elderly people or children with fever.
Shen Yanming did not hesitate and directly gave each of them two antipyretic pills, asking them to take them first to control their condition.
Li Gangtie knew that he had it, so he didn't react. But the other colleagues were surprised, wondering how Comrade Lao Shen could be so capable.
Seeing everyone's confusion, Shen Yanming could only bite the bullet and explain.
