Chapter 140: Health Room
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt like she was almost frozen numb. If anyone saw her expression now, they would probably think she had become a corpse. Her face was as pale as a ghost, and her whole body was so frozen that her movements were stiff.
The snow under my feet was getting thicker and thicker, and with every step I took, more snow poured into my shoes.
My shoes had long since become damp and cold, and every step felt like I was wearing lead weights.
She, who did nothing, already found it difficult to move, let alone the four people carrying the stretcher.
In their current state, the four people were exhausted and their eyes were dull.
Jiang Xiaoxiao touched Song Moting. The situation was getting worse.
Two hours later, they finally saw the light on the opposite side, and someone with a flashlight ran into them head-on.
"Jiang Xiaoxiao! Is that you?"
Jia Shu's voice almost made Jiang Xiaoxiao cry.
"It's us, come on."
Jiang Xiaoxiao tried hard to calm herself down.
It's a pity that I'm shaking all over.
Everybody's teeth were chattering.
Jia Shu and He Aiguo rushed up with the forest workers.
The two of them went back to put down the firewood, only to find that it had started snowing heavily, and the snow was too heavy, coupled with the wind.
As soon as the two men walked out of the door, they could feel the wind blowing so hard that they could hardly stand. They became even more worried about the people on the mountain.
At this time, the director of the forest farm also found something wrong. He hurried over to instruct the educated youth, but found that there were only two educated youth at the educated youth point, and the rest had all gone up the mountain.
He was so upset that he forgot to remind these children.
The snow here is different from that in other places.
It means it comes and goes as it pleases.
Fearing that something might happen to these educated youth, they immediately called the workers in the forest farm. Everyone got together, dressed warmly, and started going up the mountain to look for people with their equipment.
As a result, when they walked up a distance from the foot of the mountain, they saw someone coming from the opposite direction.
The forest workers were more experienced than them, and as soon as they saw the stretcher they were carrying, they knew someone was injured and immediately took it over.
The rest of the people, some supporting themselves, some supporting the educated youth and running straight down the mountain.
Only after they got down the mountain did everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief, after all, the wind and snow on the mountain were too strong.
Even now, the snow on the road below the mountain has already reached the calf level.
Carry the person back to the forest farm.
Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly explained the situation to the director of the forest farm, hoping that he could send a tractor to take the people to the county hospital as soon as possible.
Song Moting's current condition is too serious, and this kind of injury requires the branch to be pulled out.
He needed surgery and suturing, and even had to check if he had any other internal injuries.
The director looked embarrassed.
"Jiang Zhiqing, it's not that I don't want to send you off. I'm telling you, anyone who sees this situation will definitely help. But there is a problem. You can see the heavy snow on the road now. The tractor can't get out at all. Once it starts snowing here, it will basically be isolated from the world. You can see the snow on the road now.
It has already surpassed my calf. It would be difficult for a person to walk out, let alone a tractor."
It’s not that they don’t want to save Song Moting, it’s because it’s impossible to sacrifice other people’s lives to save Song Moting.
At this time, as the director of a forest farm, he naturally had to protect the interests of the majority.
If Song Moting is to be sent out now, at least four people will have to take turns carrying him out. If anything happens to these four people on the way, including Song Moting, that would make five people.
These are five lives. How could he sacrifice others to save one?
Jiang Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat. She really didn't expect the snow to come so quickly.
The head of the forest farm could not be blamed for this. The rule of survival here was to save one person and at least ensure the safety of others.
It’s not Song Moting’s fate.
But Song Moting's breathing was weak.
If we keep waiting like this, we will really be waiting for death.
"Director, where is the doctor at our forest farm's clinic? Let him take a look."
Jiang Xiaoxiao could only try her best to save the situation.
The director smiled bitterly and said, "Our clinic is just a decoration and there is a lack of doctors and medicine."
"Mr. Liu from the clinic went down the mountain to see a doctor for tracheitis. It looks like he won't be back after this snow."
What a coincidence indeed.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was speechless. This was a God-given crime.
"You must have the key to the clinic, right? There are things in the clinic, such as medical equipment and medicines."
Jiang Xiaoxiao could only think of a solution. Since she couldn't go to the hospital, she had to take measures.
One cannot lie here.
The director was in a dilemma. "There are medicines, but they are only painkillers and cold medicines. There are no other medicines. I don't know what medical instruments you mentioned, but I know there are some in the cabinet. How about I take you over there to have a look?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao had no choice but to follow the director of the forest farm to the health center.
The clinic is just a small room with snow-white walls and a red cross on the door.
Through the glass window, you can see inside. There are two neatly arranged cabinets, a bed for treating patients, and a desk, but nothing else.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt desperate.
In this state, what can be used?
She deeply suspected that there wasn't even a needle and thread for suturing here.
How can this save people?
A good cook cannot cook without rice.
Even though she is an experienced doctor, it doesn't mean she can save people without medicine or tools.
Besides, Song Moting’s injury was not an ordinary injury.
This is going to kill people.
Why was her brain stuck in the door that she thought there might be a way to save Song Moting here?
It's really embarrassing for her.
Two people entered the house one after the other.
Jiang Xiaoxiao rummaged through the cabinet.
She breathed a sigh of relief. The situation was a little better than she had expected. Perhaps it was because this was a forest farm and workers often suffered injuries.
Therefore, there are still many tools for treating external injuries, such as needles and thread for sutures, as well as some tools for treating external injuries.
However, there is a severe shortage of medicines. There are only some cold medicines, painkillers, and some mercurochrome, anti-inflammatory drugs and the like. Not to mention infusion sets, which basically do not exist here.
She understood very well. This was 1976, and in 1976, it was impossible for such a remote infirmary to have more medical equipment.
Gritting her teeth, she took out all the things she needed.
The only thing we can do in the current situation is to try our best to save Song Moting's life. The wind and snow outside are still very strong, and the snow is almost up to our thighs.
Fortunately, we didn't ask everyone to send Song Moting to the county hospital, otherwise they would probably be stuck on the road.
By then, lives would really be in danger.
The situation is not much better now. Song Moting's condition is very critical.
The manager watched Jiang Xiaoxiao take those things and wondered in his heart, could this girl heal injuries?
"Girl, do you know medical skills?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded. "My godfather and godmother are doctors. I have learned a lot from them. In this situation, we can only think of ways to save people first. You can't count on me too much, because there is no medicine. We can only hope that Song Moting's body is strong enough to handle it."
