Chapter 119 Cooling Down (33)
Lan Jin put Lan Qiaoqiao into the space without thinking much. She touched Nana beside her again. Although Nana's body was warm, her nose was too cold. In a moment, she put Nana into the space again.
Moreover, in just a short time, Lan Jin felt that it seemed to be even colder than before. She was a little worried, so she put on her clothes and the ugly scarf and immediately went to the balcony to take a look at the thermometer outside.
When she held the thermometer in her hand, it showed minus 8 degrees Celsius, but in just a moment, the pointer dropped rapidly and soon reached minus 18 degrees Celsius.
If Lan Jin hadn't had her bare hands frozen red and numb at this moment, she would have almost thought that the thermometer was broken.
At this moment, the number on the thermometer seemed to be going down after pausing for a while.
…
When I think about how everyone was covered with thin blankets last night because of the hot temperature—
Lan Jin was so frightened that she immediately knocked on the door of the house next door, "Ling Jiang, Ling Jiang, wake up, wake up quickly, Ling Jiang."
Lan Jin knocked on the door for a long time, but Ling Jiang, who was as vigilant as Nana, didn't respond to her at all. Lan Jin immediately had a bad feeling, but she didn't waste time in Ling Jiang's house. Instead, she went upstairs to wake up Huang Jinghe and Lao Gao one by one.
After Lao Gao responded, she quickly asked, "Lao Gao, you have the key to Ling Jiang's house, right? I remember you did. I just knocked on Ling Jiang's door for a long time, but she didn't respond."
Lao Gao got anxious when he heard this. "Sister Lan, I'll be down as soon as I find the key. Could you please go downstairs and knock again?"
"good."
Lan Jin hurried downstairs and knocked on the door for a long time. As expected, no one responded.
Not long after, Lan Jin heard hurried footsteps. Turning around, she saw Lao Gao handing her the key while getting dressed.
Lan Jin took the key and quickly unlocked the door, and the three of them rushed in immediately.
…
Ling Jiang and Grandma Ling each had a room. The door was closed, but fortunately it was not locked.
The three of them rushed towards the closed door, and after opening it, they saw Grandma Ling and Ling Jiang lying on the bed, almost unconscious.
Lan Jin entered Grandma Ling's room. Almost the moment she entered, she quickly opened all the wardrobes on the side and covered the old lady with everything that could be used.
At this time, in the next room, Lao Gao and Huang Jinghe were doing the same thing as her.
But no matter how much he shouted, Ling Jiang on the bed did not wake up.
Huang Jinghe stroked her forehead and said, "It's so hot, are you fainting from the fever?"
Have a fever?
No wonder I couldn't hear her knocking on the door.
At this time, Lao Gao also asked her: "Sister Lan, how is Grandma Ling?"
"He must have fainted from the cold. I have covered him with everything that can be covered." But Lan Jin really didn't know what to do next. After all, she had never experienced a period of rapid drop in temperature.
But even though she didn't know, Lao Gao knew. She said, "Sister Lan, your house has solar panels, so there should be some electricity. Could you please boil some hot water? I'll ask Xiao Huang to go look after Grandma Ling."
Lan Jin listened to the message, and when she saw Huang Jinghe coming, she immediately went back and got the hot water.
She already had hot water in her space, so she could just use it. Besides, since she had children at home, it wouldn't be too suspicious if she kept some hot water at home.
After almost walking around for a while, Lan Jin took out the thermos at home and said, "I have hot water in my thermos. I just boiled it before going to bed and it's still hot. What should I do now?"
"Pour hot water into a basin and give them a towel to apply to their faces to help the blood flow back. Then, feed them some hot water. As long as they're still alive, they should recover slowly." After saying that, Lao Gao asked worriedly, "Where's your Qiao Qiao? Is he okay without you at home?"
"It's okay. I wrapped her in a blanket and put her on the bed. Then I asked Nana to come in and hold her. It's okay."
Lan Jin took two hot towels, handed one to Huang Jinghe and asked him to apply it to Grandma Ling's face, and took the other one to apply it to Ling Jiang's face.
As for Lao Gao, he found the hand-cranked generator in Ling Jiang's house and charged up all of Ling Jiang and Grandma Ling's electric blankets.
…
Both Ling Jiang's family and Lao Gao's family use this hand-cranked generator. It is said that this thing was made by Lao Gao himself. Its size and appearance are similar to the pencil sharpener that children play with. It can generate electricity just by shaking the pole on the side.
This thing is easy to store and convenient to use, but it has a disadvantage: it has electricity when you shake it, and it has no electricity when you don't shake it. So, Lao Gao and Ling Jiang's family have electricity, but they can't use it at any time.
But compared with those families who have no electricity at home, the situation of their two families is much better.
…
Lan Jin and Huang Jinghe changed several hot towels and fed him a large cup of hot water. With the help of Lao Gao's power generation equipment, Ling Jiang, who had fainted from the fever, recovered immediately.
She first saw Lan Jin beside her bed and asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lao Gao outside the door cranking out the electricity, and asked in confusion: "Why are you here too? What happened?"
Hearing Ling Jiang's reaction, Lao Gao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "You're finally awake."
Lan Jin explained, "The temperature just dropped suddenly. It was over 20 degrees Celsius before we went to bed, but now it's probably over 20 degrees Celsius below zero. My dog noticed something was wrong and reminded me, so I quickly notified you guys. But you didn't respond when I knocked on your door. Luckily, Lao Gao had your key. When we came in, you and Grandma Ling were both frozen unconscious, and you had a fever."
When he heard that she and Grandma Ling had fainted from the cold, Ling Jiang quickly asked, "Where's my grandma? How is my grandma?"
Lao Gao replied, "Don't worry, she's still breathing. Xiao Huang has been applying a hot towel to Grandma Ling's face. She might have caught a cold and hasn't woken up yet."
Huang Jinghe quickly agreed, "His breathing is steady and he's fine."
But Ling Jiang didn't care what others said. She grabbed the clothes on the quilt, put them on, and went to the next room.
Seeing that Grandma Ling was still breathing, Ling Jiang immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But she hadn't woken up yet. "Why hasn't my grandma woken up yet? Is she frozen?"
Lao Gao said helplessly, "Sister, it's over 20 degrees below zero. Why don't you put on your clothes before coming out? There's no point in wrapping yourself in a thin coat. Hurry up and lie down. Besides, it's too cold today. Grandma Ling is old, so it's normal for her to wake up later."
Lan Jin smiled and said, "Alright, alright, you guys stay here for now. I have some ginger at home. I'll go back and make some brown sugar ginger water for everyone. You guys wait a little longer. This stuff needs to be cooked for a while before it's useful."
No one really refused this. In such cold weather, ginger can really save lives.
