Chapter 75 No Hope
After writing the prescription, Yun Qiao lay on the table and wrote the reply letter to Qin Lili and Su Hua's sister.
In her reply to Qin Lili, she wrote in detail about her daily life in the Great Northern Wilderness. It was boring and hard, but spiritually satisfying.
She honestly told Qin Lili that she couldn't offer any advice. Whether to take over the job or go back to the countryside was her own decision, one she needed to make on her own. This choice would determine her future path, and she needed to carefully consider how to proceed. Other people's advice didn't matter.
I also advised her not to rely on other people's advice, because she had to live her own life. If she followed other people's advice and chose a bad path, she might end up blaming them in the future. That wouldn't be good for anyone.
I hope she will follow her heart and make a choice.
Finally, I wish her all the best.
The letter to Su Hua's sister was even simpler, with only a few words:
Dear Sister Su Hua:
If there comes a day like that, I will welcome you to Beidahuang~
Your sister: Ye Yunqiao.
After writing the reply, Yun Qiao packed the envelope, put a stamp on it, and stuffed a two-yuan banknote into it as usual.
Yun Qiao then took the letter and the written prescription and went to the team headquarters to find the communicator Lu Xun.
Lu Xun was standing at the door of his office talking to two other people. They were all familiar faces and should be veterans of the fifth company.
Yun Qiao heard them say from afar that someone seemed to have frozen to death in the wild.
But when she got closer, they stopped talking. Yun Qiao was a little curious, but it was difficult to ask.
At this time, one of the men said, "Lao Lu, someone is looking for you. We'll go first."
Lu Xun nodded, and they turned and left.
Yun Qiao called out "Comrade Lu".
When Lu Xun saw Yun Qiao, he was a little surprised: "You wrote the reply so quickly?"
Yun Qiao said "hmm" and nodded.
Lu Xun scratched his head and said, "But I just came back from the regiment headquarters today. The next time I go there to deliver a letter will be three days later."
"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry to send the letter." Yun Qiao took out the prescription and handed it to him: "I came to see you today for something else."
"What is this?" Lu Xun took the prescription in confusion and unfolded it to take a look. "Prescription?"
"These are ingredients for making frostbite cream," Yun Qiao said. "Comrade Zheng Wenjing's hands were frostbitten, and I happen to know how to make frostbite cream, so she asked me to make some for her. I don't have any herbs on hand, though. Could you please stop by the hospital pharmacy when you go to the regiment headquarters or the farm headquarters and buy all these ingredients?"
"No problem, leave it to me."
As a communicator, Lu Xun traveled between the commune headquarters and the regiment headquarters, often delivering things to people.
He didn't hesitate and agreed immediately: "These herbs are not very common, and the regiment clinic probably can't get them all. How about this, I'll go to the field headquarters the day after tomorrow and stop by the hospital on the way. I'll try to get them all for you."
Yun Qiao said gratefully, "Comrade Lu, thank you so much."
Lu Xun: "Don't thank me yet, I also want to ask you for help with something."
Yun Qiao asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."
"It's this frostbite cream. Can you make me one too?"
At this point, Lu Xun awkwardly held out his hand and said, "Look at my hands. They've been exposed to wind and snow every day, and I've gotten a lot of frostbite."
His big palms were red and purple, and one or two places were even cracked, revealing bright red flesh.
Seeing this, Yun Qiao nodded and agreed: "That's fine! It's just a matter of adding some ingredients. I won't charge for the labor, you just need to pay for the herbs yourself."
Yun Qiao said to Lu Xun, "My prescription is for 300 grams of ointment, enough for three people. Give me the prescription, I'll modify it, and give you an extra copy."
"Okay."
Yun Qiao took the prescription and asked him, "Do you have a pen? I can use it."
"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Xun quickly invited Yun Qiao into the house, took out a pen from the drawer and handed it to her.
Yun Qiao placed the prescription on the table and leaned over to make changes with a pen.
She quickly finished revising it and handed it back to Lu Xun.
He took out another five yuan and gave it to him: "This is for the medicine. I think it should be enough. If it's not enough, you can pay it first and tell me when you come back. I will give you more."
"Okay."
Back at the educated youth compound, most of the people had finished work and were gathered in groups of three or four to chat. The compound was bustling with activity, and a few educated youth from the south were even building snowmen in the yard.
Yun Qiao entered the house and saw people talking inside, still talking about someone who had been frozen to death.
She had overheard what Lu Xun had said before, and her curiosity was piqued, so she couldn't help but ask, "Cuizhi, who's frozen stiff? Is it from our company?"
Among the group of people talking, Yun Qiao was only familiar with Chen Cuizhi.
Chen Cuizhi quickly replied, "It's not from our company, it's from the Seventh Company up ahead."
She said, "It seems he was the driver of the Seventh Company's transport team. The night before yesterday, he was driving from the regimental headquarters back to the company when he encountered wolves. The cart fell apart, and the horses were eaten by the wolves. He managed to escape and survive, but then he somehow got lost and collapsed on the side of the road from hypothermia. He froze for several hours before being found by members of the Seventh Company."
Yun Qiao's heart was lifted when he heard this, and he asked, "Did the person survive?"
"He's saved! That's why everyone is so happy!"
Chen Cuizhi danced with joy and gestured to Yun Qiao: "Yun Qiao, you have no idea how legendary this is!"
"This person was frozen in the snow for several hours, his body frozen stiff. We rubbed him with snow for half a day but couldn't warm him up. He was later sent to the regiment's clinic, but the doctor there declared him hopeless."
"His wife refused to give up and didn't want him to die like this. She took off all her clothes and hugged him to keep him warm all night. She used her body temperature to warm him back to life!"
“That’s great!”
"I heard the local newspaper has decided to write about this incident as a touching story and will submit the article to the city and provincial newspapers. Who knows, maybe one day in the future, our 58 Farm will be featured in the local and provincial newspapers!"
Yun Qiao breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad he's okay."
As long as a person is alive, whether or not he can be published in the newspaper is secondary.
