Chapter 170 Coming Soon
Although Song Yufang had lived a life of luxury before, for the sake of their current small family, she always tried her best to make their living conditions better.
Everyone had limited manpower, and there were only eight small caves carved out of the big cave, so they were divided equally among everyone. The advantage of Zhang Aihua being the leader was that the whole family got one.
They also received a large share of vulture feathers and down.
Suddenly, feathers became waterproof, and Song Yufang used them to make cloaks, raincoats, and curtains to hang in their room. Zhang Yiwen slept alone on a small wooden bed next to them. Under the blanket given by Jiang Si, there was a mattress made of a lot of vulture down.
Zhang Yiwen likes it very much and cherishes it much more than the expensive mattress he once owned. Every day when he wakes up, he folds the quilt neatly so that he can feel comfortable only when it looks fresh.
Song Yufang discovered that the vulture's down was better and warmer than the best wild duck down in the world, so she tried her best to dig out Zhang Aihua and Zhang Yiwen's previous clothes, take them apart, patch them up, and fill them with stuffing, and made two very "fashionable" vulture down jackets.
When Zhang Aihua and Zhang Yiwen wear it, they won't feel cold even in temperatures as low as minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius, and it is also very light.
Song Yufang also wanted to make one for herself, but unfortunately she had run out of vulture down and feathers, so she gave up the idea.
The heavy snow outside stopped, and Song Yufang asked, "It's so cold outside, can the vulture freeze to death?"
If you can freeze to death, you can go and pluck the vulture's feathers.
To prevent the cave entrance from being blocked by heavy snow, Zhang Aihua wanted to go with everyone to clear the snow. When he heard Song Yufang's words, he said, "I'll go and see if anyone has frozen to death."
Zhang Yiwen, who was grilling fish, looked up and cleverly analyzed, "Dad, we are wearing other people's clothes. We are not frozen to death, so how could they freeze to death? You must not go. I don't want to be without my dad."
Zhang Aihua was stunned. This was indeed the case.
Then he changed his mind and became a little worried.
When vultures can catch fish on the sea, they will not attack humans. Now that the sea water has frozen over, the vultures have no food source, so they will become prey again.
Zhang Aihua watched as the guys used shovels to dig a hole in the cave, letting in sunlight. He was about to stop them when "boom!"
A huge vulture flapped its wings and hooked the second brother's shoulder blade with its sharp claws, and was about to drag him away.
Zhang Aihua rushed forward, grabbed Lao Er's legs, and shouted to everyone, "Hurry up and hit it with something!"
Everyone swung up the wood and smashed it hard at the vulture. The vulture struggled for a few times, but still refused to give up the fat meat in its hands. The sharp hook even pierced Lao Er's body a little bit.
The second brother groaned in pain, and the others hiding in the cave were frightened to tears by the scene before them.
"Bang--"
Zhang Yiwen took out a gun from somewhere and shot the vulture.
He was not skilled in the use of the gun, and he was a child. The recoil of the gun was too strong, which knocked him to the ground. The bullet also went astray and missed the vulture, but it scared the vulture. It struggled hard for a few times, and the snow above the cave fell down again, which finally scared it so much that it let go of the prey and flew away.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly blocked the entrance of the cave with wood, while Zhang Aihua checked the second brother's injuries.
The second brother's wound was too deep, bleeding profusely, and it looked like his heart was injured.
They could handle simple external injuries, and when they were allowed to stay, Jiang Si also gave them some medicine.
But now, someone has to do the professional surgery.
No one knew how to do it. The situation was urgent. The second brother gasped and forced a smile. "It's enough to survive until now. Just be careful and don't bother."
After living and dying together for so long, who could bear to see a companion die in front of them?
Zhang Aihua hurriedly took out gauze and asked Brother Qiu to stop the bleeding first. Holding on to a glimmer of hope, she called Jiang Si's pager.
"Hello?"
Jiang Si's clear voice came from inside, and everyone showed a hint of excitement.
Zhang Aihua didn't have time to worry about anything else and explained the current situation.
Jiang Si's face paused and he was a little hesitant.
If they are rescued now, they will still ask for help if they encounter any problems in the future.
To be honest, they have nothing equivalent to pay for medical treatment right now.
Gratitude, if only expressed lip service, is the most useless thing in the end times.
Jiang Si has already given them enough support.
While she was hesitating, Qin Shen suddenly said to her, "Help me. It will make you feel better, right?"
Indeed, if she helped, she would feel better.
After all, they are able to help now, and there is no particularly big crisis at the moment.
Zhang Aihua and the others have always been very well-behaved.
This is why she hesitated.
Qin Shen added: "When you don't want to help, then don't help. When you want to help, then we will help. I'm here for you."
Even though she was very strong, she felt that she could live well without Qin Shen.
However, the feeling of having someone who understands you, who supports you, and who you can rely on is also very wonderful.
What's more, Zhang Aihua and the others knew that Qin Shen was a highly skilled doctor. Even if they had some ideas, they would not dare to act rashly for fear of their own lives.
Otherwise, their lives could not be saved.
Jiang Si smiled and said to the person on the other end of the pager, "Wait, I'll be there soon."
Zhang Aihua was extremely excited. When he heard Jiang Si's silence, he thought there was no hope.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Si and the others actually agreed.
He didn't refuse outright, probably because he was really confident that he could cure the second child.
Zhang Aihua told the dying second son the news, "Cheer up! The doctor will be here soon. Just stay alive! We've agreed to grow a lot of barley and make beer!"
Brother Qiu also said, "Hold on, hold on! Wait until I shoot that newbie down and make you some soup to nourish your body."
Who wants to die when they can live?
The second brother smiled and said with a pale face: "Okay! I'll hold on for a while."
Jiang Si and Qin Shen came in a transport truck. If necessary, they would take the second child to the icebreaker for surgery.
The medical room there has some professional surgical instruments.
Hearing the sound of the transport truck, everyone immediately stood up, moved the wood blocking the entrance, and let Jiang Si and Qin Shen in.
Qin Shen took a few glances at Lao Er's injuries and said to Jiang Si: "It's not very serious, but it can be delayed. Find a clean place and you can do the surgery."
Although there looked to be two big holes, Qin Shen actually said that they were not serious.
Everyone was surprised and delighted. Zhang Aihua quickly asked, "Is that possible? We can use a few tables to make an operating table?"
Jiang Si shook his head. "We've brought a simple operating table. Just clear a place where you can hang the surgical drape."
