Chapter 1418 Pacemaker

"What's wrong with him?" Wei Ran immediately put down his raised hands and asked.

"Heart disease, he has congenital heart disease!" The woman who ran out of the shack fell to her knees in despair, "Help him quickly, he is dying!"

"Do you speak Russian?" Wei Ran asked in Chao Moss language, while he put the pistol on his waist and ran towards the shack.

"I only know a few common phrases," the woman stumbled behind and answered in Nest Moss language, "I just came here last year."

As he spoke, Wei Ran had already bent down and got into the low shack.

The shack that was about to be demolished by the wolves was not that big, and the space inside was even more pitiful. He couldn't straighten up at all inside.

After a quick look with a flashlight, there were two plastic buckets on the left side of the door. One was filled with water, and the other was filled with potatoes, cans and other food. On the right side are tools such as shovels, oil drums, and generators.

The other three sides are all beds built against the wall. The bed facing the door is slightly larger and can barely accommodate two people. The ones on both sides are all single beds less than one meter wide.

The space enclosed between these three beds is probably only about 1.5 meters square.

On the single bed against the wall on the right, there lay a little boy who seemed to have lost consciousness. Beside his bed, a little girl who looked older but disheveled was kneeling, anxiously but skillfully performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the little boy.

"Marta, come up quickly. There is a child here who seems to have a heart disease. He seems to have fainted and lost consciousness and is receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation."

Wei Ran greeted everyone while holding the walkie-talkie, then pulled away the thin little girl who was almost out of strength, and took over from her to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the child on the bed.

Seeing someone taking her place, the girl stumbled to the head of the bed, took a deep breath, then opened the little boy's mouth and blew in.

And the woman covered her mouth with one hand to prevent herself from crying. With a trembling hand, she raised the pistol that she didn't know where it came from and pointed it at the bonfire outside, guarding against the wild beast that might appear again.

"My companion will be coming up soon."

Wei Ran reminded him while he was busy, "I brought the doctor, and she will be here soon. In exchange, how about keeping the secret of knowing Chao Moss language for me?"

"it is good"

The first person to answer Wei Ran was the unkempt little girl at the head of the bed. The woman behind her, with her back to her and a gun in her hand, also nodded hurriedly.

Seeing this, Wei Ran continued to press the chest of the little boy named Si Guang on the bed.

It doesn't matter whether he keeps the secret of Chao Moss language, but he knows that for this family that has fallen into despair, his seemingly important exchange request can at least make their hearts feel more at ease. As for being in constant panic.

Less than five minutes later, Marta and Lu Xinda ran up carrying a medical bag each, followed behind them by Captain Vasily holding an AK in his hand.

"He's my partner, give up the shack quickly." Wei Ran finally reminded him in Chao Moss language.

Before he finished speaking, the girl on the bedside immediately straightened up, first took the pistol from her mother's hand and threw it into the bucket, and then pulled her mother and ran out of the shack.

Almost immediately, Marta also bent down and got into the shack. While turning on the AED defibrillator she was carrying, she spoke in English very fast, "Lucinda, light, oxygen."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Xinda had already lit a prepared flashlight with a large head and hung it above her head. Then she immediately opened her backpack and took out a small emergency oxygen bottle and a breathing mask from it. .

"what's the situation?"

At the same time, Marta also used a pair of medical scissors to cut open the tattered T-shirt of the little boy on the bed, and started questioning while turning on the defibrillator.

"I was already doing CPR when I came in."

Wei Ran gave way to the operating space and said, "He is born with a congenital heart disease and has not yet implanted a pacemaker."

"I know, let's go out first."

Before Marta finished speaking, she quickly attached the electrodes, controlled the defibrillator and began to analyze the heart rhythm.

Taking this opportunity, she also took off her backpack and took out first aid medicines from it.

After looking at Lu Xinda who had already connected the oxygen tank with a breathing mask, Wei Ran turned around with confidence and got out of the low, damp shack. He pulled out the pistol on his waist and gave it to Captain Vasily who was on guard.

"Mr. Victor, you need me first."

"Need not"

Wei Ran waved his hand and squatted beside the still-burning bonfire to warm himself up. On the other side of the bonfire, the mother and daughter huddled together, waiting for the good news to come out of the shack.

“There are so many mosquitoes here”

It didn't take long for Wei Ran to stand up. He was just warming himself by the fire, and he could clearly hear the crackling sound of one big mosquito after another when it was attacked by the fire, not to mention the ones that landed on him.

“More on that in another week”

As Vasily said, he took out a bottle of insecticide from his bag and sprayed it around, then pulled some weeds and pressed them on the fire.

As the smoke drifted up, the surrounding area cleared of mosquitoes. A moment later, Lu Xinda also ran out of the shack with an emergency oxygen bottle in her hand, "Boss, we have been rescued, but we need to go to the hospital as soon as possible."

Before she could finish her words, Marta had already emerged from the shack with the child on her side.

Nodding towards the mother and daughter who were looking over subconsciously, Wei Ran took the thin little boy from Marta's hand and walked towards the off-road vehicle down the mountain with the lights still on.

Almost subconsciously, the mother and daughter chased after them, followed closely by Marta and Lu Xinda, each carrying their medical backpack and the defibrillator.

Especially Lu Xinda, this girl didn't forget to put the breathing mask connected to the oxygen cylinder on the little boy's face again. She held the cylinder in her hand and followed Wei Ran step by step. From time to time, she would turn it on. Air valve, let the little boy take a breath of oxygen.

"Mr. Victor is such a kind man"

Captain Vasily, who was left at the end to put out the fire, muttered something to himself, and then quickly chased after him.

Compared with the rush when he came to rescue people, the off-road vehicle Wei Ran drove was much smoother on the way back.

But even so, the people in the car, especially Captain Vasily who was holding a weapon, still made the woman named Jin Shenghua and her daughter, the little girl named Liu Huanxi, particularly nervous. Perhaps because of this, the mother and daughter subconsciously used their thin bodies to protect the little boy named Liu Siguang behind them, but at the same time, they subconsciously moved closer to Marta and Lu Xinda who saved their family.

Marta and Lu Xinda smelled the sour odor of the mother and daughter almost at the same time. At the same time, with the help of the light in the carriage, they saw the bumps on their exposed skin caused by mosquito bites, as well as the itchy wounds that had healed after being scratched. of scab.

The two looked at each other, and Marta opened the medical bag at hand again, took out a bottle of toilet water and handed it to the little girl who was thin but seemed to be calmer than her mother.

Looking at Marta in confusion, Liu Huanxi stretched out her not-so-clean hand to take the bottle of toilet water, unscrewed the cap and poured some into her palm, and helped her mother smear the mosquito bites on her skin.

For a moment, the carriage was filled with the unique smell of international brand toilet water, which covered up the odor of the mother and daughter, including the little boy.

"How do you plan to arrange the three of them?"

Suisui got behind Wei Ran, grabbed the armrest on the back of the seat, and asked in her native language.

"Of course Queen Inta will decide this kind of thing," Wei Ran said, half jokingly and half seriously.

"Think of me at this time"

Suisui rolled her eyes and turned to look at Misha, "Sister Misha, these three people didn't participate in the previous fight, right?"

"no"

Misha is also a smart girl, she already guessed Suisui's thoughts just from the word "fight" that came out of Suisui's mouth.

"So we came out tonight just."

"Tonight we are just visiting Captain Vasily's house, and we gave him some small gifts by the way." Misha changed into Russian before Suisui finished speaking, and at the same time she turned to look at Vasily.

"certainly"

Captain Vasily understood immediately and said jokingly, "My wife and children like the tropical fruits sent by Her Majesty the Queen very much."

"Sakyamuni, it's Shakya."

Suisui smiled and made a promise, "You will receive a box full of sugar apples later."

"What a wonderful night," Captain Vasily said with a wide grin.

After a few words, the existence of the family of three was hidden. Suisui turned around and asked, "Marta, how is the little boy doing?"

"Congenital heart disease"

Marta replied, "There is a problem with his heart rhythm, and I'm afraid it will require surgery to treat it."

"Inta doesn't have this condition," Misha followed.

"When will our transport plane fly back?" Suisui asked without thinking.

"Tomorrow morning," Misha replied, "the first stop will be Kazan."

"By the way, let's take their family of three with us."

Suisui followed, "Marta, you and Lu Xinda go back together and take care of the child on the way."

"Send him to the hospital directly?" Marta asked.

"Let Mr. Greva help"

The person who answered this question was Wei Ran, who was in charge of driving. "Their family has no identity and it will be very troublesome if they are discovered."

"Do you need a new identity?" Misha asked with a smile, "Vorkuta's new identity."

“There’s no rush this time”

Wei Ran shook his head dumbfounded. This was really not the first time he asked Misha for help with this kind of thing. "Anyway, let's take that child for treatment first."

"Okay" Misha and Marta gave the same response in unison.

"Your kindness came out of the blue. I'm afraid it wasn't out of curiosity, right?" Suisui asked Wei Ran, who was driving, in her native language again.

“There’s nothing sudden about having a kind heart.”

Wei Ran smiled and said in a serious and perfunctory manner, "We have to go back to the police station to talk to that person later. Maybe there will be something big."

"also"

Suisui was particularly happy, but after saying these two words, she inevitably yawned.

After all, they had just flown over from Kazan overnight and came to rescue people without even eating. It was already almost midnight.

When the car drove onto the logging road, Wei Ran increased the speed slightly and drove the car back to the city as quickly as possible while ensuring stability.

Not to mention Suisui and others who took the family of three to receive treatment and find a place to rest. After Wei Ran took a group photo of the three of them, under the leadership of Misha, he rushed to the police station again non-stop. .

This time there was no need to say hello at all, the policeman who was still waiting for them happily gave up the room.

When Wei Ran walked into the smoke-filled room again, two large portions of incredibly caloric crock pot beef stew and a basket of steaming bread were already placed on the table.

Even at the side, there was half a box of cold beer, a can of pickles, a plate of sliced ​​ham, and a package of unopened Chinese subs, plus the handcuff keys placed with the lighter.

Outrageous

Wei Ran grinned and looked at Misha who had a smile on her face. The latter snapped his fingers proudly, yawned and walked out and said, "I'll go first. You can finish your work here later." Go back to the hotel, right where Aurora and the others got off. Victor, I’ll leave the trouble here to you.”

"Good night"

Wei Ran grinned and said good night, reached for the Huazi with the tax-free stamp on it, tore it open, took one out, put it in his mouth and lit it, then threw the handcuff key to the man who looked at him anxiously. Liu Hanzai said in Russian as he closed the door, "Come over and have something to eat. Your wife and children are safe."
