Chapter 413 Arrival



Tian Cai listened for a while and found that he was indeed a famous old Chinese doctor. At least his knowledge was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Zhang Wenshan could talk about any part of the medical book, and he could answer many questions without hesitation.

However, some of the content sounded very familiar to her. When she thought about it carefully, she realized that Cai Ping had said the same thing before.

This is the advantage of a family of doctors. There are enough books at home, which is something that many people who have just entered the profession cannot do.

A large part of Tian Cai's current knowledge comes from Cai Ping's teaching to Tian Erya in her early years. Otherwise, relying only on what she learned in her previous life, she could at most be a barefoot doctor in the village.

Tian Cai listened to the conversation while thinking. He had no recollection of having heard of such a strange disease in his previous life, and he didn't know what was wrong.

When she was born, diseases such as smallpox, cholera, meningitis, and plague had disappeared from people's lives for a long time, so long that she had only heard the names and brief introductions of these diseases, but had never seen them manifest themselves.

It may also be that Tian Cai has not paid attention to this aspect and has never heard of any epidemic that can cause death so quickly after being transmitted.

The plane had only been flying for five hours when they saw the Gobi Desert in the distance, but they couldn't stop there directly. After getting off the plane, Tian Cai and others followed the young soldier all the way to where the truck was parked.

After walking only a short distance, several people realized something was wrong.

There was not a single car coming this way. Occasionally, one or two pedestrians would appear, but they would not dare to approach the group of people and would quickly avoid them.

Their hearts sank again. It seemed that the situation was more serious than they had imagined.

The rest of the journey was under the responsibility of the garrison in Urumqi. After the young soldier safely handed them over to the people from Urumqi, he saluted them.

The few people who were whispering immediately stopped and responded with a serious face.

No one knows what will happen next.

Everyone got into the truck bed one by one with excitement, and headed towards the Gobi Desert.

It was already evening, and the Gobi Desert no longer had the warm sun of the day, and it had become cold.

A few people looked out from the gap at the back. The yellow sand raised by the wheels filled the sky, and there was not even a single person in sight.

After dark, the temperature will drop sharply, and the temperature difference between day and night can reach fifteen degrees or even more.

Before leaving, Tian Cai deliberately wore thicker clothes. They would be busy and would not distinguish between day and night, so it would be safer to take some with him.

She plans to soak all the masks worn by medical staff in medicine, which can at least block a considerable part of the virus and provide an extra layer of protection for everyone.

They didn't bring many medicinal herbs with them this time, mainly because the disease had not been identified yet and they didn't know what medicine to use, so they brought various medicinal herbs but in small quantities.

Once it was confirmed, a phone call was made and people from the logistics department immediately dispatched the goods from purchasing stations in various places and shipped them over by plane.

After passing through layers of checkpoints, the truck finally entered He City.

The group had already put on masks and packed their personal belongings, and got off the bus as soon as it stopped.

The clinic was already overcrowded, and even a tent had been set up in the yard. People were lying everywhere, some even had wooden planks as cushions, while more were lying directly on the ground.

Several people in white coats were busy among these people, and their eyes suddenly lit up when they saw Tian Cai and his group.

The young soldier who brought Tian Cai and the others over hurriedly said, "These are the comrades from the Beijing Medical Team. They just arrived today."

"That's great, we're just short of people here!" A middle-aged doctor stepped forward and said enthusiastically, asking everyone to follow him and find a room to put their luggage.

Tian Cai followed Zhang Wenshan and others all the way into the health center. Both sides of the corridor were full of people lying down, leaving only a narrow aisle in the middle for people to pass through.

The ward that originally accommodated five or six people was now full, with people filling the beds and outside the rooms.

"The health center is full, so our accommodation environment is not very good. We are occupying the small cafeteria of the former hospital. Please make do with it." The middle-aged doctor said a little embarrassedly.

"It's pretty good. At least there's a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Besides, I don't have time to sleep there when I'm busy."

"Yes, yes, that's right."

Tian Cai didn't pay attention to what the others said. Her eyes swept over the patients she saw along the way.

Everyone's face was sunken and sallow, and even with the windows open, a faint foul odor could still be smelled in the air.

"Your environment won't work," Zhang Wenshan frowned and looked around, "It's too easy to cause cross infection!"

The middle-aged doctor also knew that this environment was not good. "We are seriously short of staff now. We simply cannot take care of all the patients. Many of them are young soldiers from the army who come here to act as nurses. The serious cases have been centralized for management. These are still considered mild cases. Alas!"

Zhang Wenshan also knew that this was not something that could be handled in a short time. Before coming here, he had already guessed the severity of the situation here, but he did not expect the situation to be more serious than he imagined.

Several people put their luggage in the cafeteria, took out their white coats and put them on. Without asking whether to rest or not, they didn't even dare to drink water, and just started working.

Tian Cai's eyes swept across the people lying on the ground and quickly locked onto a middle-aged woman who was alone.

The woman was slightly hunched over, her face pale and gray. Tian Cai came forward and checked her basic condition, and found that she had a fever.

Her forehead was clearly burning hot, but her hands were cold. Tian Cai touched her ankle, which was also just as cold.

Combined with what the middle-aged doctor just said, this person is still in the early stages. It seems that in addition to fever, he also has abdominal pain.

The woman had not yet lost consciousness. She vaguely felt that a girl in white clothes was squatting in front of her, asking her some questions, and asking her to stick out her tongue and scratch her hands. She could not remember what they did specifically.

Tian Cai laid the woman's arm flat, stretched out her fingers and pressed them on her Cunkou acupoint. After a while, she changed her hand, but the conclusion she came to was the same.

Red tongue, yellow and greasy tongue coating, slippery and rapid pulse indicate dysentery.

There are many types of dysentery, and medication should be targeted according to the patient's condition.

Suddenly, the woman began to twitch all over, and within just a dozen seconds, a fishy smell came from under her body.

At this time, the clothes were not that thick, the color quickly seeped through the pants, and the person gradually stopped twitching.

Tian Cai pulled open her clothes and took a look, and saw pus and blood in her stool.

The symptoms are more similar to dysentery.

As soon as she was pulled out, several people who were covered tightly came over and handled the woman's body without changing their expressions.

These clothes should be collected and washed uniformly, ironed with hot water and dried before being brought back for recycling.

After asking a few questions, Tian Cai learned that this idea was thought up by a doctor from the medical team.
