Doctor Peerless

Chapter 167 Surprised Discovery
Lao He came back soon, with a smile on his lips, he must have had a good chat...

The only thing is that the call time is really short. It took only five or six minutes for Zhou Sheng to come back, and she followed her back. It is understandable to calculate the time. It is probably past twelve o'clock in the morning in China at this moment.

Then, when he came back, Lao He didn't plan to watch a movie either.

Maybe it's because I really hate piracy, or because I don't want to look back at the clips I acted in, who knows?Having never experienced a career like hers, others don't know what kind of mentality actors have when they treat their own works.

After the sun went down, night fell quickly.

Halfway through the movie, the sky was already dark, but the heavy rain had no intention of stopping at all. Such weather in the dry season is indeed a bit abnormal.

When the movie ended, both Delia and Dan showed a bit of worry on their faces.

"If the weather doesn't clear up tomorrow, we won't be able to walk on the mountain road. Cloudy and rainy days will have a great impact on the injuries of those children."

I have had tetanus and anti-inflammatory injections before, but it is not foolproof.

It takes time for a wound to heal, and during the entire healing period, there is a possibility of infection of the wound, which is the worst time.

After all, the old hags of the tribe know...

When the sun god shines, the circumcision ceremony to expel evil can be held.

Haze and humidity will bring the demon of death to come.

"It's really not possible, I'll go and see it alone." Dan has the confidence and ability to go through the jungle in the rain.

Delia didn't agree: "No, the land and mountains in the rainforest are not solid, and landslides and ground subsidence often happen, so you can't take risks... just wait and see, maybe the weather will clear up tomorrow."

The geological situation in Africa is very complicated, the continental plate is loose, and the famous African Rift Valley is not just one place, but spreads over many parts of Africa, and new ground fissures and ground subsidences occur every year, and the entire plate is also constantly happening move.

In a big way, it’s a process of crustal movement that lasted millions of years. But in a small way, it’s better not to set foot in the jungle in the heavy rain. Subsidence and landslides are just one aspect. If you get lost in the rain, That's choking enough, and it will kill people.

Dan had no choice but to nod: "You are the boss, you have the final say."

Delia then said to Zhou Sheng: "Zhou, if it doesn't stop raining, the operation will not be able to proceed as scheduled. You must be clear about this."

"Understood." The operating method of the surgical vehicle relies on its own engine to drive the equipment to run. Not to mention the damage to the machine in the heavy rain, the transfer of patients after surgery is a big problem. You can't let the patients get wet in the rain, right?

After everyone finished drinking, they thought they would be a little happier, but they became more and more helpless. They could only pray for tomorrow, and the heavens will be beautiful.

……

The next day.

Waking up from sleep, a ray of dawn shines in.

The palm skin of the eaves is still dripping water, but look at the clear sky, the rain has stopped.

Dan had already woken up, sitting on the porch listening to the pattering scenery after the rain, and turned around with a smile when he heard the movement: "It's a beautiful day."

"Well, good day."

get up.

Before Delia and Lao He woke up, Dan wanted to go to the jungle to see the road conditions, so he simply took a kettle and went to fetch water from the water source. Zhou Sheng accompanied him.

Just after a heavy rain, the soil on the ground poured into the village's reservoir, causing it to become cloudy, and even the villagers were unwilling to use it. There were many villagers from the Gray Worm Department along the way.

The road to the water source was extremely muddy. After walking for a while, Zhou Sheng felt that his feet were filled with lead, and the inside and outside of his shoes were filled with thin mud. But Dan was very optimistic about this scene: "Actually, the mud is only on the surface, and the deep soil has not been completely soaked. Soft, at most one day, the hot sun will evaporate the water in the mud, and the rainforest is like this."

What's more, it is still hot summer, and the water vapor self-circulation system of the rainforest is very powerful.

After fetching water, Lao He and the others also woke up.

Jie Laer was wearing a new dress, she couldn't be happier, she always had a smile on her face, and she squirmed when she walked. She was much more beautiful than the children in the village.

"Let's cook rice cereal. There is not much water, and the patient still needs to use it. Let's have a sick meal with the patient."

Concentrated fire area, full of smoke.

After igniting the dry wood in the villagers' homes to start the fire, we always have to add wet wood into it, making half of the village smoky, and the conditions are so difficult.

As usual, the sick patients were served first, and the four of them plus a child began to eat.

"How's the road?" Delia asked Dan.

Dan immediately said: "You can leave at noon, but you must not go fast on the road, and it will be very late at night when you reach Mule Department."

"Then we have to go." Delia said. "Let's go this time, the two of us, Zhou still needs surgery, let Rebecca stay and help him... Zhou, you have had surgery experience once, you should be familiar with the equipment, right?"

The equipment must be familiar...

But Zhou Sheng didn't want to perform the operation by himself, originally he wanted Delia to perform the operation.

But she still has her own affairs. The children of the Mu Le Department are the ones who are in critical condition and need to be dealt with.

Zhou Sheng thought for a while and said, "There is no rush for the operation, I want to go and see the children first."

"But, you are gone, where are the other patients?"

Lao He immediately said: "There's me, I'll stay, Zhou is a doctor, he can help in the past, he is much more valuable than me going."

With that, the thing is sealed.

Zhou Sheng, Delia and Dan went to the Mule Department, while He Congshuang stayed at the base camp.

As for patients undergoing surgery, they are not in a hurry. It is okay to wait for two or three days, and Lao He can speak slang, which is convenient for communication. Just came back, Zhou Sheng didn't know what to do, he could communicate only by hand gestures, but this also meant that there was no one to talk to and chat with.

Until noon.

After a simple lunch, there was no time for a nap, and the three of them set off on the road non-stop.

Speed ​​up as much as possible, otherwise it will be more difficult to walk at night.

along the way.

It was very muddy, and it was difficult at first, but after getting used to it gradually, Zhou Sheng understood Dan's analysis of the road conditions. The deep soil was indeed not softened. Difficult to walk.

And Dan took over most of the supplies, and even Zhou Sheng was much lighter than what he carried last time.

During jungle trekking, the speed of time seems to be slowed down, because it is too difficult, and I just want to reach the destination in an instant.

But after dark, I felt that the time passed too fast, and I couldn't see the road, and the speed was greatly reduced again.

But, thankfully...

At ten o'clock in the evening, the three-person team came to the Mule Department without any risk.

During the period, I only experienced two accidental slips and falls when climbing the mountain. Generally speaking, there were no major twists and turns.

The night is dark.

At this time, it's not good to disturb every household, so I can only go to sleep first with apprehension.

The Mule Department is not the Gray Worm Department, and it is difficult to borrow some water here. The three of them can only take rags, dry the mud on their feet, and then sleep under the stench.

the next day.

After visiting from house to house, the three breathed a sigh of relief...

In a few days, the children's injuries tended to be stable, and no deterioration occurred.

Even though most people thought it was the old witch's blessing that worked, the women of each family knew what Delia and the three had paid for them.

They are convinced by the magic of outsiders.

Therefore, when Delia came to the chief to discuss with her, the other party's attitude softened——

"I have vaguely heard that the 'sacrifices' outside are very powerful. The pills they make have magical powers. For example, the chief of the Hyena Department has many such pills. When his direct and collateral descendants need circumcision They consume it and sometimes sell it to other people."

When I first heard it, everyone still couldn't react...

But after thinking about it for a while, I feel even more surprised.

There are tribes in the jungle who have western medicine antibiotics?
Isn't there no communication with the outside world here?

Regarding this issue, the chief didn't know the situation, so he didn't continue to talk about it...

"However, judging from the strength of your performance, I agree with you to take over the circumcision ceremony, and the high priest will supervise it. There is one thing... what happened last time is not allowed to happen again, otherwise, those who do not respect our etiquette will no longer be Friends of the Mule Department!!"
