After the Earthquake of Rebirth

It was past nine o'clock in the morning when Du Cheng and Huzi woke up.

Du Cheng lifted the quilt and propped himself up.From the neck to the ankles, it was like being run over by a truck, especially the shoulders, from the flesh to the bones, as if they had been cut and reassembled.

Huzi also endured the pain and sat up. He was not much better than Du Cheng. If he didn't want to make Ning Xiaowen feel sad, he really wanted to hum.

At this time, the door of the cave opened, and a burst of chill suddenly poured in.Du Cheng and Hu Zi took the time to get dressed.

"Are you awake?" Ning Qiyan patted the snow on his body, took off his hat, and saw Du Cheng and Hu Zi who had stood up.

Du Cheng frowned, "Why did you go out?"

Even if the door was only opened a third of the way just now, he could still see the darkness outside, and then looked at the watch on the wall, it was past nine o'clock, the sky was still so dark, the blizzard might be getting stronger.

"I wrote a note and hung it on the safety rope. If someone comes over, they can find our house directly." While speaking, Ning Qiyan took off his snow-stained coat and pants.

"Are you back?" Ning Xiaowen, who heard the movement, opened the curtain and walked in from the cave on the other side, with a huge fluffy meat ball hanging on his body.

Beard twitched the corners of his mouth, watching Ning Xiaowen stretch his neck hard, struggling to reveal his face from a pile of hair, and walked up quickly.

"What are you doing?!"

Ning Xiaowen avoided Hu Zi's hand, for fear that the other party would accidentally touch Du Dabao's hind legs.

"Dabao's hind feet and ears were frostbitten, very serious." Ning Xiaowen walked to the bed where Huzi and Du Cheng were sleeping before, carefully put Du Dabao on his body under the warm blanket, and then put the frostbitten area Expose it outside and keep the quilt from covering it.

"As for it! Look at how careful you are!" Although Beard muttered with disgust on his face, he squatted down and looked at Du Dabao's hind legs with a light hand, carefully looking at the wound.

Ning Xiaowen rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Du Cheng also came over and took a closer look at Du Dabao's ears.

"Still awake?" Ning Qiyan rubbed his cold hands and asked.

Ning Xiaowen shook his head, "However, the body temperature of the three people has recovered, but the skin discoloration is serious."

"That's for sure. After all, I don't know how long they have been frozen in the snowdrift. I hope someone will come up to find them." Ning Qiyan sighed. If no one came, there was nothing they could do.

For a while, the atmosphere in the cave was a little heavy, until the quilt next to Du Dabao moved, and two little furry heads popped out.

Hu Zi couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, "These two won't be in bed all the time?!"

Seeing Ning Xiaowen nod his head, his beard choked, and he said, "You two are not afraid that Du Cheng and I will turn over while sleeping and crush them to death."

Ning Qiyan smiled and watched as Ning Xiaobao crawled on top of Du Dabao's back while Ning Xiaobei got under Du Dabao's neck, her small body was covered by Du Dabao's thick fur, leaving only A small nose sticks out to pant.

"Dabao is injured and can't put it in the space, so just connect these two, and it can relieve Dabao's boredom."

……

Although the injury is not serious, but it is not enough to relieve boredom, and to walk and hug it, right? !

But even though he was muttering in his heart, neither Huzi nor Du Cheng smartly said that it was not good to get used to it.

"You two go back to eat. I stewed the mutton soup and steamed the steamed buns, and I warmed them up on the stove. Finish eating as soon as possible, and we have to stay in the cave later." Looking at the three little things for a while, Ning Qiyan said to Du Cheng and Hu Zi.

Du Cheng nodded, and was sent to the space by Ning Qiyan together with Huzi.As for Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen, they had finished eating before, and they both drank a whole pot of coffee.Although Ning Xiaowen is really not used to this bitter taste, but I have to say that the effect is still very good, and he is not sleepy until now.

Lifting the lid of the pot, Huzi looked at the whole pot of mutton soup and mutton, and clicked his tongue.

"Is our sheep still there?"

Du Cheng was picking up steamed buns from the plate, when he heard Huzi's words, he turned around and saw the pot of soup.

This pot comes with the space itself, and it is directly placed on the earthen stove connected to the kang in the house, with a diameter of about one meter.After this pot of mutton soup, he estimated that almost all the mutton stored at home was consumed.

"The sheep are still there, but they are not far away from being slaughtered." Du Cheng looked at the sheepfold in the yard through the glass and said.

Huzi put back the big bowl he took out earlier, and replaced it with two small pots. He and Du Cheng each had two tablespoons of mutton and three spoons of mutton soup, filling two pots.

While drinking soup and eating steamed buns, Huzi calculated the time in his mind, "We can't slaughter all the sheep after the cubs are born, at least one ram and one ewe must be kept. It will take time for the cubs to grow up." .”

"Go back and ask how much mutton is left in Qiyan's house. Anyway, the three ewes all have cubs. Don't think about it before giving birth to lambs. If there is really nothing to eat, just kill the rams." " Du Cheng said while drinking the mutton soup.

Hu Zi shook his head, "The rams can't move, and it will take nearly a year for the lambs to grow up and be able to breed. The rams are gone, and it's useless to keep the ewes. It's okay to say before, if there is no occasional meal for the sheep in winter The soup drives away the cold, the body really can't stand it."

But it's useless to think about it now, wait until the stock is exhausted and then figure out how to kill it.

After a pot of hot mutton soup, the whole body is warm from the inside to the outside.

The four stayed in the cave until nearly 12 o'clock before finally waiting for the knock on the door.

Ning Xiaowen immediately got up and opened the door, braving the wind and snow, there were five or six people standing at the door.

Before the other party could speak, Ning Xiaowen, who was shivering from the cold, directly called them in.

The other party didn't hesitate, and it's not a problem to keep the door open to talk in such a cold day.

When everyone came in, Ning Xiaowen immediately closed the door to block the cold outside.

The people who came in stood at the door and wiped off the snow on their bodies before taking off their hats and masks.

"Take off your coat, it's warm in the room."

After someone came to untie his coat, he took the beard and put it on the kang to dry before calling him to sit down.

"Hello, we are from the inspection team. We found it based on this note. I don't know..." One of them sat down and took out a note that had been glued several layers tightly with transparent glue.

When Ning Qiyan saw the note, he nodded: "I left this note, and all three of them are here, but the situation is not very good." After speaking, he got up and brought these people into the room together with Du Cheng. to the other side of the cave.

Seeing that the three missing people were still alive and lying under the quilt, the visitors all heaved a sigh of relief, leaving two members of the medical team to check on the situation of the three, and the leader of the soldiers asked Ning Qiyan and the others Condition.

Knowing that the four people and another college student found the safety rope broken and did not wait for the inspectors to come, they searched all night in the snow. The soldiers present stood up and gave them a military salute.

It made Ning Qiyan and the others wave their hands repeatedly, saying no.

The leading soldier shook his head, "We didn't see them coming back yesterday until night, so we were very worried. To be honest, the law and order in the mountains is pretty good now, and it's unlikely that they clashed with the residents. Even if you meet someone who needs help We also have a rule that someone must return to the team to report the situation. What we are most afraid of is that they will have an accident due to a snowstorm on the way. If they stay outside in this kind of weather, even if we can find them today, they will definitely die. If Not you..."

Ning Qiyan shoved the water glass into the opponent's hand, "We just did what we could, and it would be an eye opener to find someone. If we knew that there was such an accident, but we didn't do anything, our conscience would be ashamed." It’s hard to get through. Living in this kind of world is not easy, and it’s even more difficult for you soldiers.”

Ning Qiyan's gentle but heavy words made the eyes of several soldiers present turn red.

"We are soldiers, we just follow orders and do our duty."

Looking at the oldest one in front of him who was no more than Ning Qiyan's grade, and the youngest looking at a soldier who might not be 20 years old, Ning Qiyan felt heavy in his heart.

Before he went out to find someone yesterday, he hesitated, but now looking at these soldiers, he was only glad that they went out in the wind and snow yesterday, and that they found someone.

"Captain, Xiao Yuan and the others have to be sent to the hospital immediately! Frostbite is serious!" Opening the curtain, a soldier who was in charge of checking the wounded came in and said seriously.

The soldier who had been talking to Ning Qiyan frowned, thought for a while, and asked someone to bring in the big bag they left outside the door.

He took out three specially configured sleeping bags from the bag. Ning Qiyan couldn't tell what the material of the sleeping bags was, but he saw that there was a layer of fur sewn inside the sleeping bags.

Then Ning Qiyan and the others also helped to wrap the three wounded in quilts and stuff them into sleeping bags, and also helped out with half a box of baby warmers to stick between the quilts and the fur, so that the temperature would not be too high to cause frostbite damage, It can also ensure that they will not freeze to death before they arrive at the hospital.

As for the three quilts, Ning Qiyan and the others didn't need them urgently, as long as they had the opportunity to return them later.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to trouble you with." Seeing the wrapped sleeping bag being tightly tied to his back by the visitor, Ning Qiyan said.

"What's the matter? We will definitely help if we can." The captain turned back, and they would definitely do their best to help the citizens who asked for help, not to mention that this family has saved their lives.

Ning Qiyan didn't hesitate, "My dog ​​suffered from frostbite yesterday, and it looks very serious. We want to ask if you know any veterinarians, it's better to be closer to us. We can go and find them ourselves."

The captain took a look at the adult husky who had been obediently lying beside the bed, and without him asking, two soldiers from the medical team walked over to examine it carefully.

The captain noticed the big dog when he first entered the door. After all, the cave is not big, and the dog is not small, so it is difficult to miss it.At first, he thought that the dogs in this family were quite honest, and there were military dogs in their team, and he was deeply impressed by the character of the untrained huskies.

I didn't expect to be so honest because of frostbite. Thinking about the weather and snow outside, I'm afraid the dog also got frostbite because he went out to find someone.

"Captain, it's really serious. If you don't treat it, your hind legs may affect your activities in the future, and the upper part of your ears may be necrotic."

As soon as the medical staff's words fell, not to mention Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen who were a little weak-legged, even Du Cheng and Huzi's hearts sank.

Looking at the expressions of the four of Ning Qiyan, the captain knew that the dog might be very important to them, "Don't worry, there is a veterinarian in charge of military dogs in our team, it's too late today, I'll let him come up with the inspection team tomorrow, The necessary medicines are also available in the team, so don’t worry too much.”

Seeing that my own words seemed to scare people, the medical staff nodded again and again, "I'm talking about the worst outcome if there is no treatment, as long as the treatment is done, the hind feet and ears will definitely be preserved, and when they are well raised, they will definitely be alive and kicking around. !"
