Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 528 Settlement of Accounts

What! !

The other two exploration team members and Ma Gan are still alive.

The mountain collapsed with such great force just now, but he was able to survive.

If the workers in the backyard hadn't heard it from the rescued exploration team members, who would have dared to believe it!

"Don't just sit there, go in and save people!" Sun Qiang cried with joy. Firstly, he was fine, and secondly, he could save his wallet.

The workers were about to rush into the col, but Zhou Dasheng quickly stopped them.

"Don't go in yet. The geological conditions inside are complicated and it is easy to be dangerous if you are not experienced."

After saying that, he looked at the two team members who were fine.

"Liu Tie, Wen Sheng, each of you take three people in to pick the person out. They are inside the cave on the rock wall. Bring ropes. Xizi's foot is injured."

"I'll go with you!" Sun Qiang was the first to sign up, and then workers raised their hands one after another.

Two team members and six rescuers plunged into the col with ropes and tools.

After passing through the medicine garden, the mountain col no longer looks like the quiet empty valley it once did.

A huge pit appeared in front of me.

After the mountain collapsed just now, the mountain col was in a mess. Only a few of the Lanxiang Longjing tea trees that Li Hongbing was proud of were left, and the others were all buried in deep pits.

If the first collapse caused the pit to be as big as a basketball court, now it is almost the same size as a football field.

Large areas of the surrounding mountains collapsed, and the newly exposed stone walls looked like they were being cut with knives.

"It won't collapse again!" a worker whispered with lingering fear.

The exploration team member who led the way looked up at the stone wall and shook his head, "It will not collapse again. It turns out that the mountain has been weathered for a long time, and the internal structure of the rock is uneven and cracks appear. This is because the ground collapse produces huge vibrations, which causes the internal stress of the rock to become unbalanced. Causing rocks to crack and collapse."

"Now that the geological structure has stabilized and the mountain rock layer structure is stable, we can go with confidence."

Sun Qiang nodded. After all, he was also a geologist. The exploration team members were right. After this landslide, it was a good thing for Li Hongbing. There was a problem with the mountain itself. If it doesn't collapse today, it will collapse tomorrow. Sooner or later, it will happen. .

This landslide can be regarded as solving a hidden danger.

Led by the exploration team members, the group stepped on the uneven piles of rocks on the mountainside and carefully crossed the broken terrain to the vicinity of Bailongtan.

No, there is no Bailong Pond now, but a large deep pit, and the pit is already filled with water.

A few dozen meters apart.

From a distance, I saw an irregular cave on the stone wall two meters above the water. Water flowed out of the cave entrance. There was an exploration team member standing at the cave entrance, waving to the rescue team.

"It's Wu Zi!" The team members here looked happy and waved and shouted, "Wu Zi, are you okay?"

The team members in the cave on the opposite side responded loudly, "We are fine, it's just that my son's foot was injured."

"Wait until I bring the rope over!"

As they spoke, the team members took off their clothes, picked up the rope, jumped into the water, swam hard to the cave, and threw the rope up.

After grabbing the rope, the team member turned around and returned to the cave.

When he came out again, he was supporting a lame exploration team member.

"Xizi, jump down and I'll pick you up!" The team members in the water shouted loudly.

The lame member didn't think much, grabbed the rope and jumped into the water. After falling into the water, he was dragged by the back of his neck and pulled to the shore.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining trapped team members and workers in the cave came out and jumped into the water one by one.

On the shore, Sun Qiang pulled everyone up until the pole finally appeared, and the workers cheered.

"Ma Gan, you scared brother to death!" Sun Qiang hugged Ma Gan and choked.

Ma Gan grinned, showing his yellow teeth, "Boss Sun, I'll keep your little treasury for you!"

Sun Qiang glared guiltily, "Fart, don't talk nonsense, I don't have a small treasury, your sister-in-law is so careful!"

The crowd laughed.

"By the way, what happened to Xiao Jiang when he fell?" the team member who survived the disaster asked with a heavy face.

The workers' smiles instantly disappeared. The man was unconscious when he was dug out, and he didn't know how he was doing when he was sent to rescue.

The two team members quickly changed the subject.

"Xiao Jiang is fine. He has been sent to the village infirmary. Let's go out first. Everyone is waiting to see you."

"Yes, everyone wants to know how you escaped. You were fine after two landslides."

really.

The trapped team members and Ma Gan showed the joy of surviving the disaster.

The rescue team led the rescuers back to the backyard.

A burst of warm cheers suddenly erupted in the backyard, and the exploration team members hugged each other excitedly, with tears of joy in their eyes.

Although the rescued team members and workers were weak, their faces were filled with hope for life and longing for the future.

Zhou Dasheng was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth and almost danced and performed the Yangko dance on the spot.

Four people were buried and four were rescued. Xiao Jiang was injured. Village Chief Li said that his life was not in danger.

"Let's go, take the people to the infirmary first, let Dr. Li check if there are any hidden injuries, and by the way, tell me how you survived."

"Yes, yes, go check the insurance!" Sun Qiang nodded in agreement.

A group of people carried the rescued team members and marched toward the village.

The wolfdogs shook the dust off their fur and fell into a daze looking at the old house that looked like a garbage dump.

Home, how did it become like this?

The workers carried the team members into the village. Naturally, the villagers and tourists were not sure what was going on. After all, the old house was still some distance away from the village and it was in a mountain col. Even if they heard any movement, they would think that the Red Soldier's house was there. Engage in construction.

However, there are only so many things going on in the village, and it is good to see the excitement, so the villagers followed him one after another like cats smelling fish.

As a result, the team became larger and larger.

From time to time, there were exclamations from the team.

When the villagers learned about the situation from the workers' mouths, they were so excited that they almost turned around and ran to the backyard of Hong Bingye's house to see what the landslide was like.

In the ward.

Li Hongbing put a plaster on the last leg of the injured team member, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

It’s so damn special.

It's easy to straighten a large broken bone, as long as it can be reset. But for some broken bones, you can only use pinching and squeezing to reset the bones. Push the bones back to their original positions little by little. The bones and soft tissues will not be damaged. If you are not careful, they will be reset. Will damage blood vessels.

After fixing the splint on the plaster, Li Hongbing took the towel sent by his second apprentice and said while wiping his hands.

"Xiaowuzi, remember it!"

"When the patient shows severe hematuria and Sheila fever, stagnation of blood and blood stasis, and obvious swelling and pain in the affected area, use Qizhen Powder and borneol 25-flavor powder. If the patient is accompanied by chest burning and palpitations, agarwood and eight-flavor powder can be used. Soup."

"At the same time, add mucocidal medicine and heat-clearing medicine to prevent inflammation, and take Honghua Bawei Powder orally."

"We will ask Zhou Dasheng to arrange for someone to take care of him later. Remember to tell him that bedding sheets and underwear should be changed frequently and kept clean, especially the affected area; the affected limb should be kept stable when defecating and urinating to prevent bedsores, and always be careful not to move the splint. Keep the tightness of the straps in place." Xiao Wuzi took a pen and hurriedly wrote down the doctor's instructions.

"Okay, send it to the general ward. Lian Qian pays attention to the patient's temperature and takes it every half an hour." Li Hongbing handed the towel to the second apprentice.

"Got it!" Sun Lianqian nodded obediently.

At this time.

There was noise outside the ward, and Sun Lianqian muttered angrily.

I didn't know this was the infirmary, it was noisy.

Then he opened the door and walked out. There was a crowd of people in the courtyard outside the infirmary, and they were all talking loudly.

Sun Lianqian was so frightened that she quickly closed the door again and walked up to Li Hongbing, talking and gesticulating.

"Master, there are many people outside!"

so many people?

Li Hongbing frowned and walked out of the ward. Zhou Dasheng squeezed out of the crowd and ran to him with an excited expression, dancing.

"Village Chief Li, haha, everyone has been rescued. Come and see if anything is okay."

All rescued?

Li Hongbing paused, then walked down the steps to the crowd. Everyone, including villagers and workers, took the initiative to make way.

When I walked in, I saw three trapped exploration team members and one worker sitting on the ground. One team member seemed to have an injured foot.

Not knowing what happened after he left, Li Hongbing saw another tired and weak worker. He first stepped forward to check on the injured team member.

The foot injury should be treated as if it was smashed, it is not a big problem.

The other three people were in pretty good condition. They were not injured, but their spirits were a bit low. It is understandable that anyone who encountered such a big landslide would be in a bad state of mind if they were trapped underground.

He said without raising his head.

"Two people came over and helped him to the ward. His bones are fine. He will receive a few injections to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. He will take some medicine and rest for a few days."

Sun Qiang asked incredulously, "Hey, you guys are so lucky. Doctor Li said you were trapped behind a rock. I asked people to go down and rescue you. I used more than 300 meters of rope, but I couldn't find it. How did you get out of the cave?" Got out of it."

The trapped team member named Wu Zi finished drinking the water, with lingering fear on his face, and recounted his experiences after the ground subsided.

"We went to install the equipment, but before we knew it, the ground cracked and all four people fell into the pit."

"Thankfully, the big rock hit us hard, with only half a meter between us. That's how Xizi would have been injured."

"Then, we hit the rocks with a breaker, but you didn't hear anything!" Sun Qiang asked curiously.

The sound of the hammer hitting the stone can be described as harsh. Coupled with the vibration, there is no reason why the three of them couldn't hear it.

Wu Zi nodded helplessly and sighed heavily.

"I heard it. I originally planned to wait for you, but after waiting for a while, I found that the ground was seeping. It should be water gushing in the underground layer. According to the speed of water seepage at that time, I was afraid that if I didn't wait for you to show up, it would cause the ground structure to be unstable. Second collapse.”

The surrounding audience, especially the workers, nodded in agreement. A second landslide had indeed occurred, and it was more serious than the first.

Moreover, the hole opened in the blue diamond is so small that it would be difficult for a skinny person like Ma Gan to get in, let alone three tall and powerful exploration team members.

If the three of them really waited to break through the stone to rescue, they would probably not be able to escape the fate of being buried alive.

"Then, you found a way out." Zhou Dasheng asked quickly.

Takeko nodded and continued.

"Yes, didn't Xizi hurt his foot? He was lying on the ground and heard a weak air flow, so he suspected that there was an underground cave nearby. Then Tian Zi and I followed the air flow and dug a crack in the stone with a wrench and screwdriver."

"Underground cave?" Zhou Dasheng suddenly realized.

"That's right, there is an underground cave and an underground river. The three of us dug into the cracks in the rocks and got in, but we couldn't find the direction. Xizi said that if we went downstream, we might have a chance to find the water outlet."

"Then the three of us swam all the way, twisting and turning, and went around in a circle until we reached the cave."

"What about you? How did you find them?" Sun Qiang looked at Ma Gan in confusion. It is believed that the three of them had already left when he got in.

Ma Gan grinned, perhaps because he got 5 yuan, but he couldn't hide his joy.

"When I got in, I saw the hole they dug out. It was dark and rumbling. I stepped on the air and fell into the river. The water washed me all the way."

After saying that, Ma Gan looked at Wu Zi, "I was still thinking that I was going to die this time, but I was grabbed by the big brother halfway."

Wu Zi smiled with emotion.

"We were shocked at the time. The innocent thing was washed down by the underground river. I was still wondering why there was such a big fish in the underground river. Only when I got closer did I see that it was a human being, I almost let go!"

Although the three people said it lightly, the people around them thought it was extremely dangerous.

In the past, people from other villages went up to the mountains to herd cattle, but did not come back at night. The villagers went up the mountains with torches to look for the people, and finally saw the clothes beside a pool.

The people in the village call this pool "Ghost Jianchou", which means that the little ghosts will be worried when they see it. When the village animals come to drink water, they can't even find their bodies when they fall into the pool because there is no way to find the bottom. The old people in the village say that "Ghost Jianchou" is connected to the underworld below. .

About a month later, the body of the cattle herder was found in a river 60 kilometers away.

You can imagine how dangerous underground rivers are.

These four people were able to escape from the underground river without being injured. It was really the ancestors who burned so much incense to save the younger generations.

Li Hongbing couldn't hear the experience of several people escaping from death, but the ending was finally good. He called Zhou Dasheng and warned him.

"First arrange to rest in the ward, observe for a few days, and discharge if there are no problems."

Zhou Dasheng's head was nodding like a chicken pecking at rice. After finishing, he asked in a low voice anxiously, "Village Chief Li, how is Xiao Jiang?"

"We are temporarily out of danger. All the fractured parts have been reattached. Now the edema and blood stasis are serious. Fortunately, no internal organs were injured. He will be kept in the hospital for observation first, and he will pay the treatment fee later."

After Li Hongbing finished speaking, he looked at the villagers and workers gathered in the yard and began to wave them away.

"It's over, it's over. If you want to gossip, go to the persimmon tree at the entrance of the village. This is the infirmary. Don't disturb the patient's rest!"

Looking at the back of Village Chief Li.

Zhou Dasheng's throat moved, and he didn't know whether he should say something or not.

A small hot spring well was originally built, but now the mountain col has turned into a lake. Village Chief Li wonders if he will be furious when he sees it.

It’s hard to get the final payment for the project!

Li Hongbing was not sure whether he was angry or not, but Zhou Dasheng felt like his blood vessels were about to burst after receiving the medical expenses.

First aid cost list.

The total medical expenses and drug expenses are 40 yuan.

This is still the cost of treatment, and the subsequent expenses have not yet been settled.

40! !

Why do you need so much money?

I didn’t earn the money for digging the well, so I had to repay it.

"Is there a mistake in the fee?" Zhou Dasheng's eyelids twitched wildly.

Xiaowuzi took the receipt with a smile.

"Yes, let me settle the account for you."
