Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

The wind and sand are howling!
Su Chen and the other man followed the middle-aged man through a grass-grid sand barrier and saw a group of people gathered in a circle in a sand pit away from the wind. Their anxious shouts were heard in the wind from time to time, "Lao Chen! Lao Chen!"

"Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way!" The middle-aged man pushed through the crowd and rushed in, only to see a dark-skinned old man collapsed on the ground with purple lips, still tightly clutching a few Haloxylon ammodendron saplings in his hands.

"What's going on with Old Chen? Does anyone know?" The middle-aged man knelt directly on the sand, checking the old man's condition while asking the people around him.

"Sister Yang, you and Lao Chen are in the same group. Do you know what's going on?" A man who knew something about the situation in the crowd asked a middle-aged woman who was a little anxious.

The middle-aged woman called Sister Yang recalled what happened just now and said quickly: "Old Chen felt chest pain just now, a little breathless, dizzy, and a little sweaty!"

"I thought it was a sign of heat stroke, so I asked him to sit down for a while, drink some water and rest. But he collapsed after just two steps."

"Lin Sheng, Old Chen, what's going on?" Sister Yang looked at the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground, unbuttoning Old Chen's collar, her face filled with fear and anxiety.

The middle-aged man, Lin Sheng, did not respond immediately. He skillfully checked Lao Chen's carotid artery and heart.

He could hardly feel his pulse. Combining what Sister Yang had just said, Lin Sheng's heart skipped a beat. "Oh no! Old Chen might be having a heart attack!"

Lin Sheng's face suddenly changed, and he immediately shouted to the people around him: "Quick! Who has a quick-acting heart-saving pill?"

There was a commotion in the crowd. How could these people have quick-acting heart pills in their hands?

Just then, a deep voice came from not far away, "What's going on? What happened to Lao Chen?"

I saw Wang Yinji running over quickly, led by a slightly younger man.

As soon as the incident happened, they sent someone to the front line to notify the person in charge, who was Uncle Wang, whom Su Chen and the others had met once.

Seeing Wang Yinji coming, the crowd immediately made way for him. When they saw Lao Chen lying on the ground, their expression instantly became serious.

"Brother Wang, I have preliminarily concluded that Lao Chen is suffering from an acute myocardial infarction!" Lin Sheng was also an unskilled man. He had seen a barefoot doctor before and barely understood some first aid knowledge.

When he heard that it was a heart attack, Wang Yinji's breathing became rapid. He squatted down to check Lao Chen's breath, then felt his pulse, and his face became even uglier.

"The situation is not good, it is indeed a heart attack!" Wang Yinji said in a deep voice: "First aid must be started immediately!"

“Lin Sheng, perform CPR on Lao Chen immediately!” He then looked at the crowd and ordered, “Lao Li, take a few people to build the sand shelter immediately. At the same time, call the hospital and ask them to arrange an ambulance. Remember to explain the situation clearly!”

After all, Wang Yinji had seen all kinds of situations, so he quickly arranged things and everyone took action immediately.

When there were fewer people around, Wang Yinji saw out of the corner of his eye that there were two young people standing next to him wearing "alternative" clothes. They were covered so tightly that it was impossible to tell who they were.

After just a casual glance, Wang Yinji withdrew his gaze. The most important thing for him now was to rescue Old Chen.

"1, 2, 3, 4..." Lin Sheng performed CPR while counting the time.

Once a certain number of times is reached, a breath will be blown into Lao Chen's mouth through the tissue.

The environment was already very bad, with gusts of wind and sand blowing from time to time, coupled with the sun above his head, Lin Sheng began to breathe heavily after a while.

"Brother Wang, we can't go on like this. Old Chen doesn't react at all. It would be great if there was some first aid equipment, even some quick-acting heart pills or nitroglycerin!" Lin Sheng's face showed signs of dejection, and the determination in his heart was gradually collapsing.

"Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we can't give up! Let me do it, you take a rest and pay attention to Lao Chen's reaction!" Wang Yinji took over the baton of first aid and pressed Lao Chen's chest rhythmically.

Su Chen said it unintentionally but listened to it intentionally. He immediately thought of the time when he was in Chengdu. When he bought the luminous version of the G-Class, the man named Zhang Bin seemed to have given him a set of car-mounted AED equipment as a gift.

Thinking of this, Su Chen quickly asked: "Uncle Wang, is the AED useful to you?"

Hearing about AED, Lin Sheng, who was originally slumped aside, stood up in an instant, grabbed Su Chen's hand excitedly and asked, "You have an AED? Where is it?"

Lin Sheng had been working in the desert for many years, often digging holes and moving supplies, and had developed a lot of strength. Coupled with his excitement, he could be said to have used 120% of his strength. Su Chen felt as if his arms were tightly clamped by several steel bars, and he gasped in pain.

When Chen Fei saw this scene, he took a step forward, pinched the soft part of Lin Sheng's arm with both hands, and immediately released Su Chen's hand.

Lin Sheng saw the look on Su Chen's face and realized that he had lost his composure. Just as he was about to apologize, Su Chen's voice rang out, "A Fei, go to the trunk and get the AED!"

Upon hearing this, Fade Chen turned around and ran towards the parking lot without saying a word. His figure quickly blurred in the wind and sand, leaving only a series of sand pits created by his footsteps.

Wang Yinji also recognized Su Chen's voice at this time, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but now was not the time for greetings, so he just nodded at Su Chen without stopping the CPR action in his hands.

“Brother Su, I’m so sorry for what happened just now!” Lin Sheng was filled with shame, his dark face flushed with anxiety, “Old Chen has been with us in desert control for decades, I really…”

As he spoke, Lin Sheng's tone revealed a hint of tears.

"I understand how you feel!" Su Chen rubbed his aching arm, "Our priority now is to save people."

The wind and sand seemed to be getting stronger. Fortunately, others had already put up the sand-proof tarpaulin, but the simple tarpaulin fluttered in the wind and sand, and it felt like it could be overturned at any time.

"Brother Wang, it will take at least half an hour to get to the hospital!" Old Li hung up the phone and said with a grim expression.

"Half an hour?" Wang Yinji's hands kept moving. Sweat already covered his forehead and dripped down his face. "Old Chen can't wait that long!"

"Now we can only place our hope on the AED!"

Hearing this, the old partners in sand control all had sad faces and clenched their hands tightly.

At this moment, Chen Fei appeared in everyone's sight. He was holding an orange first aid kit in his arms, running towards them in the wind and sand.

"Coming!" Su Chen hurriedly went forward, took the AED device, turned around and walked into the sand shelter.

When Wang Yinji and Lin Sheng saw the equipment, hope ignited in their eyes. A portable automatic external defibrillator is the key equipment for emergency treatment of myocardial infarction.

"Quick! Open him!" Wang Yinji shouted at Lin Sheng, and at the same time quickly unbuttoned Lao Chen's clothes, exposing his chest.

Su Chen pressed the switch, and the AED immediately issued a clear prompt sound, "Please stick the electrodes on the patient's exposed chest."

Lin Sheng had received relevant training before, so he naturally knew how to operate the AED emergency equipment.

He quickly tore open the package of the electrode pads and expertly attached one pad to the lower eye on the right clavicle of Lao Chen, and the other pad between the fourth and fifth ribs on the left side.

"Analyzing heart rate..." Listening to the sound from the AED, everyone held their breath. Wang Yinji and Lin Sheng prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that it would be detected!

"Ding~" A crisp sound was heard, and an excited look instantly appeared on the faces of Wang Yinji and Lin Sheng.

They all knew that behind this voice was the voice they wanted to hear most.

"Shockable rhythm detected, shock recommended!"

Wang Yinji shouted, "Everyone step back two meters!"

When Lin Sheng saw that everyone had vacated the safe position, he immediately pressed the electric shock button, and Lao Chen's body bounced violently.

"Continue CPR!" The AED's voice sounded again.

Wang Yinji immediately knelt down and continued to press Lao Chen's chest rhythmically, once, twice, three times... Sweat soon soaked his back again. "Analyze the heart rhythm again..." After completing a process of CPR, the AED prompt sounded again.

Just as Lin Sheng was thinking about making the second click, he heard Lao Chen suddenly coughing, and his eyelids twitched.

"Old Chen!"

"Brother Chen!"

"Wake up! Wake up!"

The onlookers of the sand control work cried out in surprise when they saw this scene, and several sentimental sisters secretly wiped away their tears.

When the AED confirmed again that Lao Chen's heart rhythm had returned to normal, Wang Yinji finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he felt his limbs go weak and he immediately collapsed to the ground.

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Lin Sheng excitedly held Su Chen's hand. With the lessons learned from the previous experience, he controlled his strength this time.

Wang Yinji also stood up and bowed solemnly to Su Chen and Chen Fei. "If you hadn't helped me in time today, Old Chen would have been in danger."

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand, "Uncle Wang, don't be like this, we just happened to be here."

"If we hadn't met by chance at the service area before, we wouldn't be here today. It's all fate!"

Wang Yinji couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this, "Hahaha~ You're right, this is all fate!"

The wind and sand gradually died down, and the sound of an ambulance sirens was heard in the distance. Wang Yinji immediately arranged for Lin Sheng to take the lead and lead a few people to carry Lao Chen to the road and go to the hospital with the ambulance.

When passing by Su Chen, Lao Chen stretched out his hand towards Su Chen tremblingly. As soon as he woke up, he learned from Lin Sheng that it was thanks to Su Chen that he was rescued today.

"Thank...thank you, young man!" Old Chen's voice was hoarse and a little weak, and he spoke powerlessly.

"This is what I should do!" Su Chen held Lao Chen's hands with both hands and shook them gently.

"Okay, Lao Chen, just go to the hospital and have a good rest!" Wang Yinji patted Lao Chen on the shoulder and gave Lin Sheng a look, telling him not to waste time here, as no one knew if the disease would suddenly relapse.

Lin Sheng understood and immediately called together a few strong men, carrying the patient outside. Not long after, he saw medical staff coming in with a stretcher.

They quickly transferred Lao Chen to a stretcher and, working with the medical staff, sent him to the ambulance.

Watching the ambulance go away, everyone finally relaxed completely. After letting out a long sigh, everyone just found something to cushion their movements and sat down on the sand pile.

"The conditions here are a bit difficult, and there's not much to eat. Please bear with me!" Wang Yinji found two bottles of mineral water and a few steamed buns from somewhere and handed them to Su Chen and Chen Fei respectively.

After Su Chen took it, he did not rush to drink it. Instead, he looked around and found that everyone was carrying a large water bottle with them. They took a steamed bun bigger than their face and started eating it, without being affected by the wind and sand at all.

His eyes moved slightly, and he called Chen Fei over and whispered a few words in his ear. Then he saw Chen Fei put the mineral water bottle in his hand on the ground, stood up, picked up the AED, and walked towards the direction where they parked the car.

"Huh? What is this?" Wang Yinji looked at Chen Fei's departing back and looked at Su Chen with some confusion.

"It's okay, I asked him to put the things away and he will be back soon!" Su Chen changed the subject to lunch, "Uncle Wang, is this what you guys are having for lunch?"

Looking at the big steamed bun in his hand, Su Chen frowned slightly. He really couldn't accept it.

Not only is the work hard and tiring, but even the food is so simple. It is ten times more difficult than working like an ox or a horse in the city who complain of being tired every day.

At least what the cattle and horses in the city eat is much better than steamed buns.

"We've gotten used to it!" Wang Yinji took a bite of the steamed bun and drank a sip of warm water, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"We are usually very busy, so who has the time to cook? Steamed buns with boiled water are convenient and quick to fill our stomachs, and they don't waste time. They are a perfect match for us!"

Su Chen didn't know what to say for a moment when he heard this. He looked at the area where the desert was fixed with grass grids, and there was no end in sight at a glance.

Moreover, there are no mechanical equipment around, which means that this area was managed bit by bit by them with their own hands.

Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of respect in his heart. It was because of these people's decades of dedication that he had the rippling Qingtu Lake that he had seen before.

Chen Fei, who was arranged by Su Chen to go back to the car, came back carrying a bag of honeydew melons and two large bags of things.

When Wang Yinji saw the large and small packages, his eyes widened immediately, "Little brother, what are you...what are you doing?"

"Uncle Wang, I saw that everyone was working so hard, so I asked Fade to go back to the car to get some supplies." Su Chen explained with a smile, "It just so happened that I bought some bread, bags of cooked food and other foods before!"

Looking at the things in front of him, Wang Yinji opened his mouth to refuse Su Chen's kindness, but when he saw the curious and expectant eyes of the team members, he finally nodded in agreement.

"I'm sorry to have cost you money!" Wang Yinji looked at Su Chen with an embarrassed expression.

"What's the big deal? Compared with the contribution you've made, my supplies are nothing. I'm afraid it's not even a drop in the bucket!" After Su Chen finished speaking, he picked up the cooked bread and started distributing it.

There was also a bag of honeydew melons. Chen Fei quickly cut a melon into eight pieces and distributed them to everyone.

For a moment, laughter and joy resounded throughout the desert.

……

"I won't see you off. You're always welcome to visit Minqin!" Wang Yinji waved goodbye while standing on the sand dune. His voice was particularly loud in the desert wind.

After lunch, Su Chen and his companion followed Wang Yinji to start making the straw grid.

Imagination is beautiful, reality is cruel!
After Su Chen got the hang of it, he realized that making the straw grid looked easy, but it was extremely difficult to make. He needed to bend down constantly to arrange the straw, and then use a shovel to fix it in the desert to form a barrier.

This work lasted for more than two hours, and Su Chen felt like his waist was about to break. If Su Yan and the others hadn't called him, Su Chen felt like he was going to collapse in the desert.

"Uncle Wang, I will come back to visit if I have the chance. I hope that this place will be restored to an oasis like Qingtu Lake!" Su Chen waved to Wang Yinji on the sand dune, opened the car door and sat in.

The Mercedes-Benz G started slowly, drove slowly along the same road it came from, and gradually disappeared from Wang Yinji's sight.

Su Chen looked at the rapidly receding desert outside the window and sighed softly, "This desert control is much more difficult than I imagined. Uncle Wang and his men have been able to survive in this desert for decades. They are really amazing!"

"Yes! It's all done manually, without any machinery or equipment." Chen Fei also had a complicated expression.

Speaking of machinery and equipment, Su Chen thought about getting some machines for Wang Yinji and the others.

Then he asked, "A Fei, do you think there is a special machine for making straw grids? Just like planting rice, burying wheat straw directly in the desert?"

This question stumped Chen Fei. He had never paid attention to this issue before, so how did he know whether it existed or not?

As if realizing that he was asking in vain, Su Chen took out his cell phone and started searching.

As a result, he didn't find the machine he imagined on the Internet.

"It seems that I have to take some time to go to Zhengdao Park to see if I can develop a sand control machine specifically for the desert!" Su Chen muttered to himself while touching his chin. (End of this chapter)
