Chapter 106 Deputy Director of the Cannery
“Whoa!”
Uncle Ye didn't hesitate at all. He immediately stopped the carriage and jumped out.
Yun Qiao sat in the carriage, her head facing backwards. She hadn't noticed anything at all. When the carriage stopped, she was still wondering, "Why did the carriage stop?"
When I turned my head forward, I found that my uncle had jumped out of the car, and there was a person lying on his back in the ditch beside him.
Yun Qiao was startled and quickly jumped off the carriage and walked over to check.
Lying in the gutter was a man of medium build, wearing a long black cotton-padded jacket and a gray dog-skin hat. Judging from the wrinkles on his face, he was about forty or fifty years old.
Ye Yuanzhang jumped into the gutter first, reached out and touched the man's body, which was still warm.
After confirming that the man was still alive, Ye Yuanzhang was afraid that he was injured, so he did not rush to move him. Instead, he patted his face and tried to wake him up: "䀲志? This 䀲志? Wake up?"
Ye Yuanzhang was right not to move him, because without knowing whether he had internal injuries, moving him rashly might cause unnecessary harm.
At this time, Yun Qiao also jumped into the drainage ditch and cooperated with Ye Yuanzhang to pinch the man's Ren Zhong.
Fortunately, the man fell down not long ago and lay in the snow for a short time. He was still conscious. After Yun Qiao and Ye Yuanzhang pinched and shouted at him, he slowly opened his eyes not long after.
He was barely breathing, his whole body trembling. Even when he opened his mouth with difficulty, he could only say, "Cold..."
"Cold, huh?" Ye Yuanzhang quickly realized what was happening and said, "Yun Qiao, I have a water bag hanging around my waist with some wine in it. Take it off and give it to him."
"good."
Strong liquor can temporarily warm the body. Yun Qiao did not hesitate to untie the water bag hanging around Ye Yuanzhang's waist, put it to the man's mouth, fed him two sips, and wiped off the few drops of liquor that overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
After drinking the strong liquor, the man's pale face obviously improved a little.
Yun Qiao quickly asked, "Uncle, how are you?"
The man blinked his eyes and said with difficulty: "It hurts."
Yun Qiao: "Where does it hurt?"
The man said weakly: "Back, the back of the head."
"Where else does it hurt?"
"And the hands and wrists."
"Anything else?"
"No, no more."
"Okay, I'll take a look at you." Yun Qiao carefully checked the man's body and found that except for a bump on the back of his head, there was nothing wrong with the rest of his body. His wrist probably hurt because he supported it when he fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was soft snow as a cushion and no bones were injured.
Yun Qiao glanced around and finally stopped at a roadside sign.
The signpost was black, with the name of the commune and a code written on it. It was located next to the fallen bicycle. On the snow next to the bicycle and the signpost, there was a long skid mark that extended all the way to the bottom of the ditch, under the man.
"Uncle, I just checked you out. Your wrist is fine, and there are no other injuries on your body. There's just a big bump on the back of your head. You must have fallen on that roadside marker and got knocked unconscious by the stone."
Yun Qiao guessed, "I think you fell too close to the edge of the ditch, so after you fainted, you slid into the drainage ditch on the side of the road."
Ye Yuanzhang also saw the long slip mark that stretched from the edge of the ditch to the bottom, and said approvingly, "I guess so."
The man nodded and said with difficulty, "Yes, that's right. I slipped when I turned a corner on my bike and fell on that rock. I lost consciousness instantly."
"Uncle, can you stand up by yourself now?" Yun Qiao asked. "We have to go up the drainage ditch. The slope is steep and the ground is a bit slippery. It's hard to lift you."
"Yes, I can stand." The man said, "My legs and feet are fine, but my body is a little numb. Please, please help me."
He had been lying in the snow for a long time and his speech was a little slurred.
Yun Qiao nodded: "Okay, we'll help you."
At this moment, the man suddenly said, "Before you help me, can you give me another drink to give me some strength?"
Yun Qiao laughed dumbly and nodded: "Okay."
After giving the man another sip of wine, he seemed to suddenly feel a little more energetic.
Finally, with the help of Yun Qiao and Ye Yuanzhang, the three of them, each covered in snow and mud, climbed out of the drainage ditch with difficulty.
The panting man sat down on the spot, bowed to Yun Qiao and Ye Yuanzhang and thanked them: "Two comrades, thank you for saving my life. If I hadn't met you today, I would have to stay here today."
This is not an exaggeration.
If Yun Qiao and the other two had not passed by, with the current freezing weather in Northeast China with temperatures of more than ten degrees below zero, he might never have woken up after fainting, and would most likely have frozen to death in the ditch.
So it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life-saving grace.
"You're too kind. We didn't do anything. We just helped you a little." Uncle Ye didn't take credit for it. He felt that he and his nephew had just done what they should do.
"Qizhi, don't be so modest! Just this small favor saved my life!" The man said sincerely, "I must repay you. May I ask your names? Which commune and village are you from?"
