Chapter 648: All prepared by my wife
"You all know that my wife was assigned to the Material Reserve Department, in charge of Chinese patent medicines, so before this mission, she applied to her superiors for a batch of Chinese medicine pills."
Shen Yanming was not afraid of being exposed. Even if his superiors knew about it, they would only think that he had taken the medicinal herbs from home for "private use".
Anyway, the purpose is to rescue the people, so it’s not a big problem. We can just go back and write a report.
But when everyone heard this, it didn't make the same sense.
They all knew where Bi Qiaoan was assigned, but after being in the guard team for so long, they had never seen him go to work.
When she was pregnant, she accompanied Shen Yanming every day, and after the birth, she stayed at home to recuperate after the baby was born.
Yet, even so, there has been no reports of any reprimands or punishments. Instead, he enjoys relatively generous treatment.
Shen Yanming's words simply confirmed the rumors that his wife had a background.
But Shen Yanming can't care about so many things now. With so many patients with high fever in front of him, what can he do? Just watch them die and not help them?
Even if he was a person with low emotions, he couldn't ignore human life. He should just tell a lie and accumulate merit for the two children.
well!
What can everyone do after hearing this? They can only envy, hate and be jealous. But they feel more at ease. After all, they may encounter accidents when they are on a mission. With Shen Yanming as a mobile pharmacy, everyone feels more at ease.
Some people even wanted to get close to Shen Yanming: "Brother, can you apply for a few pills for me? You said that we go out to do tasks every day, and we never know when we will encounter accidents. Having some medicine with us can also make us feel more at ease."
Chen Yanming smiled and said, "I can't make the decision on this. I can report it, but I don't know how the higher-ups will decide."
"It's okay, it's okay, just report it." The man was just asking casually, and didn't expect to really get the pill.
Shen Yanming nodded, but Li Gangtie said, "There is probably no hope. The snowstorm this year was too severe, so the medicine will definitely be given priority to those in need. For those of us who are healthy, we have to wait until the snowstorm is over at the earliest."
"Captain Li, can you please stop discouraging me like this? I've seen so many people these past two days. Who doesn't know that medicines are in short supply? We can't get them, but can't we have an idea?"
"Well, I'm just afraid that you will have too high expectations and be disappointed in the end. Let's lower our expectations. If there are good results, we can still be pleasantly surprised."
"Okay, okay, you're right!"
The group of people stopped talking. They had to save some energy and continue on their way.
After walking the entire village with great difficulty, it was almost dark when they finally found eight people with fever.
Li Gangtie arranged for the guards to take turns carrying them to the supply truck, and regardless of whether the truck was empty or not, he asked the driver to take them to the hospital quickly.
As for the family members, they really didn't have time to send him to the hospital. The guards had to hurry to find the ice.
Family members can either find a way to go to the city on their own, or just wait at home. Anyway, the guards are very reliable and will never abandon the patients.
Before it got completely dark, a group of people picked up a bunch of ice lumps and brought them to the intersection to wait for the supply truck to come back and take them away.
Then Li Gangtie asked someone to take some rations and stay overnight at a fellow villager's house.
Because the journey was long and there was no plan to turn back on the same day before departure, each team brought enough rations and coal before setting off.
When we arrived at the local area, we either stayed at the homes of fellow villagers or found dilapidated houses or temples. In short, we just made do with whatever we could.
Fortunately, the guards had a good reputation and the villagers were willing to cooperate, especially those families with patients, who took their patients home.
"Well, my son Tiedan is in the hospital, so his room is empty and can accommodate two or three people. If you don't mind being crowded, it's fine for four or five of you to live here."
"Yes, my Erzhuzi's room has a kang too, so it's not cold at night."
"Well, don't let anyone run around. Let's clean up the house and let the guards squeeze in!"
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. You can arrange it for us."
Li Gangtie didn't even express his opinion, but he was clearly tricked. But as long as the problem was solved, they didn't care how many people slept in one bed.
In the evening, Shen Yanming ate bitter rice and bitter noodles for the second time in his life.
His brows wrinkled slightly, but he still swallowed the biscuit in his mouth.
Seeing that others showed no resistance, I knew that everyone had become accustomed to this bitter taste.
Since there was someone around him, Comrade Lao Shen did not eat anything secretly, but he still took out a medicine bag from his backpack and gave it to Aunt Yanfang who was helping with the cooking.
"Please help me cook it. I'll ask them all to come over and drink some medicine to get rid of the cold."
Aunt Yanfang immediately thought of the villagers and asked, "Can we villagers drink it?"
"Sure, just add two more bowls of water when you cook it."
Shen Yanming thought for a moment, then took out a pack of ginger slices from his bag: “If someone is not used to the taste of medicine, they can drink ginger water.”
"We have plenty of this stuff in the countryside. Everyone relies on ginger water to keep warm every day. There is no shortage of it at home, so you can take it back." Aunt Yanfang refused.
Chen Yanming shook his head: "You try cooking it, this is a modified variety, the effect is very good."
Aunt Yanfang didn't believe it, but she accepted it anyway. She wanted to boil a pot of ginger water to see how good the effect was.
As a result, before the medicine bag had even tasted good, she was choked by the ginger soup.
This ginger water is golden in color and has a spicy smell. You can tell its effectiveness without even trying it.
Upon seeing this, Shen Yanming called Li Gangtie and asked him to go and call for help.
Li Gangtie was also very aggressive. He picked up the loud speaker and shouted outside the yard: "Aunt Yanfang has cold-repelling medicine and ginger soup at home. Anyone who needs it, come and drink it."
He had a loud voice to begin with, and with the help of the loud speaker, the sound could be heard three miles away in the quiet snowy night, shaking the snow off the branches.
When the guards heard this, they ran to Aunt Yanfang's house without hesitation. Those who had seen the power of the antipyretic pills in the afternoon also followed. For a while, Aunt Yanfang's house was extremely lively.
Aunt Yanfang hadn't expected so many people to come. Everyone took a porcelain bowl and stretched it in front of the pot.
She didn't know what to say, so she just scooped a little for everyone.
Those who came late didn't get any, so Aunt Yanfang asked them to wait aside while she added some more water to boil it.
A group of people started chatting while waiting nearby, and the lively atmosphere attracted more people.
Upon seeing this, Shen Yanming asked Aunt Yanfang for a pot and started to boil the medicine on the kang in the room where they lived.
Li Gangtie was amazed when he saw it: "Old Shen, how many medicine packets are there in your bag?"
Shen Yanming glanced at him and said coldly: "I don't know either. My wife prepared them all."
