Doctor Peerless

Chapter 188 Sandstorm

Kuanku, a large province in the southeastern region of Ankabin.

Yellow sand wilderness, inaccessible.

The local people live mainly on animal husbandry, but the scale of animal husbandry is actually not large. Only a small number of aborigines live by grazing cattle and sheep. They only have enough food and clothing, not enough to talk about making money, which is far from domestic herdsmen.

This is where Tang Yi and Tong Han came to help.

……

Time back to a week ago.

The wind and sand came suddenly, and the group could only follow the herdsmen to make an emergency transition to avoid the sandstorm.

They have been used to this for nearly a month, but the current sandstorm is rare. Before setting off, the herdsmen knelt down and begged the gods for forgiveness, hoping to avoid this catastrophe.

It's dark...

The camel team guards the front and back, and the cattle and sheep are wrapped in the middle. The livestock on the grassland have long been spiritual. In the face of natural disasters, the livestock know to follow the lead of the "Camel Brother", otherwise they will only be buried by the yellow sand. ending.

The only twenty-odd camels rode as close as possible to the patients admitted by the medical team, and the rest could only go forward against the wind and sand.

Everything was carried out as in the previous transition operations, and everyone had already gained experience, but everyone seemed to be in an orderly manner amidst the panic.

But the scale of the wind and sand is too large...

They quickly lost six or seven lambs, but there was no way to recover.

The frightened camel kicked to death the patriarch's beloved shepherd dog, and could only hold back tears and move on to avoid disaster.

that moment.

Life is insignificant in front of nature.

In order to survive, everyone can only choose to give up other things, such as emergency fodder for cattle and sheep, heavy pots and bowls, and after discarding a lot of things, the speed of travel is greatly accelerated, away from the storm circle, and constantly heading towards the distant valley Getting closer and closer.

at last.

They managed to survive.

Everyone was ashamed, and some people's veils had been blown away, so their faces were covered with bloodstains one after another, but outside the whistling wind circle, everyone's expressions were the smiles of survivors.

Counting the number of people, none was lost.

It's just that the medical team has no medicines, the cattle and sheep have no fodder, and the women have lost their beloved cooking pots, and the losses are heavy.

The patriarch brought dry cheese and a small amount of jerky, so at least everyone had something to eat.

"Is there water?"

You won't feel satisfied after eating your stomach.

Trekking in the wind and sand for a long time, everyone lost a lot of water in their bodies. Countless mouths were dry and tongue dry. Coupled with the astringent taste of dry cheese and jerky, after swallowing, it seemed that the esophagus was pulled by straw in the throat.

Everyone hurriedly looked for water, but the result was dumbfounding...

"Damn it, which bastard threw away the water bag too?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, with bitter smiles hanging on their faces, it was definitely not a joy in bitterness, it was just a weak pale banter.

Without water, the risk to the herdsmen is no less than that of the terrible wind and sand.

But who to blame?impossible!

In the panic, no one can take care of so much. It is possible that the water bag was lost by mistake, or the rope that tied several water bags was broken by wind and sand. This is not a human error, but destiny.

But there is no such thing as an absolute path.

They also have a lot of cattle and sheep...

"Quickly milk the cows and stock up, this is enough for us to survive this devil's wind and sand."

Every herdsman is a survival expert in the desert wasteland.

Following the growl of the patriarch, everyone moved cheerfully. Although milk can't quench their thirst, it can replenish the water needed by the human body. As long as they survive the sandstorm, they can reach the nearest market town in a day and resupply.

During this process, no one in the medical team was idle.

The admitted patients need to be taken care of, and all of them are in very bad condition after experiencing the baptism of wind and sand.

Tang Yi and Tong Han led the herbalists busy, comforting the patients one by one, allowing them to sleep as comfortably as possible in the bad environment and recover their strength.

almost a month.

The medical team already has a high reputation within this small pastoralist group.

The herdsmen looked at them busy for the patients, showing respectful eyes. Of course, the group members did not need to ask for it. The women and children immediately brought milk and goat milk to quench their thirst.

When two bowls of warm milk were delivered to Tang Yi and Tong Han...

Both of them laughed, this is the reward and respect for what they paid.

They made local etiquette gestures to express their gratitude, but Tong Han couldn't bear the smell of the milk. The smell of fresh milk was very strong, which was comparable to the smell of cattle and sheep.

She didn't drink, but Tang Yi was extremely thirsty. He drank the gurgling cow, imitating the appearance of the locals, and boldly wiped the remnants from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, which aroused applause.

Sandstorms come and go quickly.

After the strong convective weather, light rain fell like a gift...

Obviously, the rainwater could not leave any trace on the ground, but the herdsmen showed their skills and collected enough water in just one night. The next morning, they made broth to replenish their physical strength and spirit, and planned to go to the The market town rested for a period of time and resupplied.

Before coming to the pastoral area.

Tong Han never thought that such a young and delicate pig girl would one day be able to endure the wind and sleep in the open air, sleeping peacefully in the open wilderness, without washing or makeup, with a rough face and cracked spots on her skin ...

When all this becomes the norm, any desire becomes illusory, and what you have is only the most primitive pursuit of survival.

Woke up by the women in the team, Tong Han checked the patient's condition before departure as usual.

After walking around alone, she suddenly noticed something was wrong...

The herbal medicine practitioners went step by step, but one person was missing.

"Where's Professor Tang?"

Asking the herbal doctor, the others just shook their heads: "I don't know, Professor Tang may not have woken up yet."

Tong Han found it strange that Professor Tang was indeed motionless in the sleeping bag after he came to the soil bag where Tang Yi was resting according to the guidance.

As a doctor, of course he has a sensitivity to diseases.

Tong Han suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly came to Tang Yi's side and called: "Professor Tang, Professor Tang..."

Tang Yi was awakened, opened his eyes in a daze, and smiled: "Tong Han, oops, I may have been a little tired yesterday, I felt a little cold, and my whole body was dull. I couldn't get up for a long time. Come... help me , shouldn't it be time to hit the road?"

Tong Han touched Professor Tang's forehead to make sure he didn't have a fever, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me, we can't fall ill... When we get to the market town this time, let's take a good rest for a few days."

"Yesterday's sandstorm frightened a cow. The patriarch gave it mercy, so they made broth. Let's go and drink some. You will take another cold medicine later."

Herdsmen have rare empathy for livestock. For livestock that cannot survive, they do not want the livestock to continue to suffer as much as possible, and give mercy in the form of death.

Timid cattle and sheep will indeed have a stress response after being frightened, just like people, they will be frightened to death.

After Tang Yi got up, Tong Han helped him pack his luggage.

The two had breakfast with everyone, and then set foot on the way back.

But no one can think of...

Halfway through, someone fell down on the road.

——Tang Yi's condition worsened.
