Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Chapter 284 Chapter 284 Extreme Cold 30
"dad."

Xiao Liang stepped forward to wake up his drowsy father. The old man opened his eyes and looked at everyone puzzled.

"I still don't know how to call you two."

"My name is Ye Fu, and my boyfriend's name is Jiang Rong, just call him by his first name."

"Okay, sister Ye Fu, please show it to my uncle."

The room was very dark with no lighting except the coal stove.

"Don't stand at the door, are there kerosene lamps?"

"Spread out, don't block here." Brother Long waved his hand, and everyone went out except Xiao Liang.

"Sister Ye Fu, we don't have anything in the base, why don't you move my uncle outside?"

"It's too cold outside, he can't hold on physically, I'm going to get the toolbox."

Ye Fu went back to the car to get the medicine box, which contained an old-fashioned battery flashlight.

Back at the earthen house, Ye Fu turned on the flashlight and handed it to Jiang Rong, asking him to help illuminate.

There was no medicine in the medicine box except a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, but seeing the scalpel, Brother Long and Xiao Liang also believed in Ye Fu's identity as a doctor.

"Two lower legs were seriously injured. The left lower leg was broken and was not connected. The right lower leg was stabbed by a rusty sharp object and was not treated properly, which led to infection. The legs were swollen and festered, and the nerves were necrotic. If the limbs were not amputated, they could only be scraped Meat therapy."

"Can my dad's legs still stand up?"

Ye Fu shook his head, "I can't guarantee this, but I can help him clean up the rotten place."

"Sister Ye Fu, please." Long Ge held Xiao Liang back and didn't let him say any more.

Ye Fu nodded, "Go out first, just let Jiang Rong help me here, you can communicate with your father, let him not be afraid, I will do my best."

The old man had actually heard it clearly, but he didn't have any hope for his legs, he just begged Ye Fu to prescribe some painkillers for him.

"Dad, Dr. Ye doesn't have any medicine, but she can help you remove the rotting meat, and when the new meat grows, your legs won't hurt. There's also good news, we have sheep, five big fat sheep. "

Ye Fu put on the gloves, and after Xiao Liang and Brother Long went out, she took out a pill and fed it to the old man. After he passed out, Ye Fu began to treat the infected legs.

"It's too serious, and I don't know if I can grow new flesh."

"The nerve is dead, amputation is the best way." Jiang Rong said calmly.

Ye Fu shook his head, "The cost of amputation is too high."

After disinfection, Ye Fu began to take out the scalpel. The process of scraping the meat was very testy. The rotten meat was like aged ham that had been stored for more than ten years. There was mold attached to the skin, and there was a strong stench.

An hour later, Ye Fu took care of the infected two legs and bandaged them. Ye Fu let others in. The rotten smell was still heavy in the air, and the scraped carrion was put in a basin.

"It has been dealt with."

Ye Fu left the hydrogen peroxide and three packs of traditional Chinese medicine to Xiao Liang.

Long Ge asked someone to carry another few hundred catties of sweet potatoes and cassava, and there were three barrels of sweet potato wine beside him, Ye Fu didn't hesitate to accept them all.

"If you want, you can stay here. There are still some empty houses in the base. You can live here as you like."

"Thank you for your kindness, but we can't stay."

After moving things to the car, after Xiao Liang's father woke up, Ye Fu and Jiang Rong were also about to leave. At this time, several children ran over to see Xiao Liang's father.

"They are the children my uncle saved. A year ago, wild boars came and bit people. My uncle broke his leg to protect these children."

The children were all thin and weak, their clothes were torn, and some of them were so cold that their noses were running all the time.

Half an hour later, the old man woke up, and Xiao Liang immediately gave the old man the medicine to drink. Seeing that his spirit had improved, Xiao Liang wanted to kneel down for Ye Fu again, but fortunately, Ye Fu had quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately pulled him up.

"Since uncle is awake, we should go too."

"I'll see you off." Although Brother Long felt it was a pity that he couldn't keep the two of them, he didn't get too entangled.

Walking out of the base, the gatekeeper put away his spear, Ye Fu waved at them, and the two immediately rushed back to the grove with the mammoth and the food they had exchanged.

Ye Fu kept [-] catties of sweet potatoes and [-] catties of cassava, and put the rest in the space, and kept [-] catties of sweet potato wine. Cassava is poisonous, but as long as it is handled properly, it is very hungry, and some can be kept in the space. When you arrive in northern Xinjiang, you can try planting it.

"It's getting dark, and it is estimated that we will have to walk for three hours."

Ye Fu asked the mammoth to stop, took out branches and water, fed them, and continued on their way.

"Is it not easy to meet a good person?"

Jiang Rong saw her excited face, and sat beside her and stared at her.

"what happened?"

"hungry."

Ye Fu only realized later, he hadn't eaten all day, so he rushed over to hug Jiang Rong.

"Sorry, I forgot to eat."

Taking out food and water, the two quickly ate dinner. Although they had been running around all day and had an operation, Ye Fu didn't feel tired and was quite excited.

"The harvest is full. It seems that they have a lot of stock, otherwise they would not have exchanged so much food for us. There should be a coal mine nearby. They burn honeycomb coal."

Ye Fu poured two glasses of sweet potato wine and took a sip. The taste was so good that the whole car was filled with the aroma of wine.

"The smell of wine is very strong."

Jiang Rong was afraid that Ye Fu would get drunk, so he only let her take a sip, but his own drinking capacity was also average, so he didn't dare to drink too much.

Three hours later, the night was dark, and the two returned to the grove. The others did not sleep, and they all ran out after hearing the movement. Everyone was relieved to see that they had returned safely.

"I'm really worried. Fortunately, you are all right."

Ye Fu smiled, "I returned with a full load. I exchanged [-] catties of sweet potatoes, [-] catties of cassava, and [-] catties of sweet potato wine."

Everyone froze for a moment, until Jiang Rong lifted the sweet potatoes down and looked at the bags of sweet potatoes, Qi Yuan suddenly rushed over and hugged Jiang Rong, which completely stunned Jiang Rong.

"It's really sweet potatoes and cassava. You are too good. You actually got food in exchange for a thousand catties. We can eat northern Xinjiang."

Jiang Rong quickly kicked him away, and patted his clothes with disgust.

"These sweet potatoes are so big and smell so good. They must be honey potatoes. The cassava is also very big, but cassava is poisonous. How should we deal with it?"

"Peel off the skin and soak it in water for an hour, and the toxicity will disappear. The cassava can be eaten steamed or made into cassava flour."

Everyone put sweet potatoes and cassava into the container and started to make dinner. Ye Fu also told them about the base.

"There are not many people there. The person in charge now is Brother Long. He said that three years ago, there was a month of acid rain in Mongolia, and tens of thousands of people died. They moved here later."

Hearing this news, everyone's mood plummeted instantly.

"It turns out that the north is also so miserable, alas."
