Chapter 429 Huo Yisheng and Ye Shu both fell
The one who came back was not Huo Yisheng, but Xiao Gao and his group of soldiers who drove back.
It turned out that Huo Yisheng had calculated that he would not be able to prepare all the medicinal herbs in time when he went to the town this time. Firstly, the reserves of medicinal herbs in the town were definitely limited.
Second, he applied to his superiors, who then assigned the task layer by layer, so it would definitely take time for the medicinal materials to reach him.
But those with fever in the camp can’t wait!
So he changed the plan in time. He continued to drive to the town and assigned another group of soldiers to go to the nearby village to collect medicinal herbs.
He speculated that since it was inconvenient for people in remote villages to go to town for medical treatment, there must be local barefoot doctors or old Chinese medicine practitioners passed down from generation to generation.
Their medical skills may not be very good, but they will definitely have some common anti-inflammatory, heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs.
What they are in urgent need of now is this kind of medicinal materials!
Huo Yisheng's idea was correct. Xiao Gao and two other soldiers visited three nearby villages in the past two days, and he actually found a lot of medicinal herbs.
Xiao Gao: "The villagers in Baima Village and Bashan Village are very warm and polite. They know we need medicinal herbs and are willing to share them. The two villages are very close to each other, and there is an old doctor who treats both sides and can treat headaches and fevers, so every household has some medicinal herbs on hand."
"There's an old Chinese doctor in Baoshan Village who knows a bit about medicine, but he's not very willing to give us herbs. We spent a lot of money, but he's only willing to sell us half."
As he was reporting, Old Huang had already gone to look through the herbs and immediately revealed a delighted expression: "Okay, although it can't be made into the final medicine, it will be of some use!"
When Xiao Gao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, their trip was not in vain!
Then he immediately asked someone to move all the medicinal materials to Mr. Huang.
Ye Shu asked, "Are you all okay? Are there any cases of infectious diseases in those villages?"
Xiao Gao: "There was no infection. We wore masks and scarves the entire time and took several layers of protection to ensure that we would not be infected. They thought we were new here and not used to the cold weather, so they didn't suspect anything."
That's fine.
Ye Shu: "Rest quickly. Tell me if you feel unwell."
With the medicine brought back by Xiao Gao, at least the pressure of the shortage of antipyretic drugs was alleviated.
However, it has little effect on treating the virus. Before Huo Yisheng comes back with the medicine, everyone has to rely on willpower to hold on.
A day later, a group of people in the camp developed high fever, and the children also began to have fever one after another.
Another day passed, and two of the people who first started to have a fever could not bear it and passed away forever.
The next morning, Mr. Huang couldn't hold it anymore and started to have a fever.
Ever since the infectious disease was discovered, Ye Shu was worried that she could not escape it, so whenever she had the chance, she would soak her feet and hands in hot water.
Everyone just thought she was taking a bath to relieve her fatigue because she was too cold or too tired after a busy day.
In fact, she was indeed doing it to relieve fatigue and to enhance her body's resistance as much as possible.
But the effect is minimal.
She really wanted to go swimming, but she didn't have the conditions to do so now.
Another day passed, and Huo Yisheng finally returned with a fleet of cars. On the cars were not only all the Chinese medicinal materials that Mr. Huang needed, but also many Western medicines needed for daily life.
Huo Yisheng thought, since he had already asked the higher-ups once, he might as well ask for more. He couldn't let this opportunity go to waste.
With the medicine, the subsequent treatment went much smoother.
Huo Yisheng also had a fever and he was holding on all the way until he returned to the camp, when he finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed.
He was talking to Ye Shu at the time, and Ye Shu was thinking he was weird. In the past, whenever this man came back from going out, the first thing he would do was to hug her and kiss her. Now there was an infectious disease in the camp, so he couldn't kiss or hug her, but there was no need to stay so far away, right?
The distance was much farther than when she usually communicated with Political Commissar Lin and other soldiers!
Doesn’t Huo Yisheng want to hug his wife?
Definitely want to!
He knew that during the few days he was away from the camp, the one who was most tired must be his wife!
He felt distressed, he thought she was stupid, he wanted to hug her and let her rest.
No way, he got caught too!
I can’t pass it on to my wife anymore!
So, he just shouted from a distance: "Wife, you have worked hard!"
Then everything went dark and his whole body fell straight to the ground.
Ye Shu was startled and ran towards him.
The soldiers beside Huo Yisheng were also frightened and quickly helped him up: "Captain!"
Xiao Gao and the others were even more anxious and called out the old name: "Captain!"
"Captain!"
Huo Yisheng closed his eyes tightly, showed no reaction, and his entire face was red.
Ye Shu reached out and touched his forehead, which was burning hot.
high fever!
The temperature is frighteningly high!
For some reason, Ye Shu's heart was pounding wildly. Even though she knew that there was medicine to cure this infectious disease and no one would be in danger anymore, she still couldn't help but feel panicked and scared when she saw Huo Yisheng like this.
She called him, "Brother Sheng!"
"Huo Yisheng!"
He didn't react at all!
The soldiers nearby found a stretcher and quickly lifted him up to send him to the isolation area.
Ye Shu: "Send him home!"
As more and more people were infected, Ye Shu's home became an isolation area, where children with fever now lived.
Her igloo is big and has beds, so the children can live there comfortably.
Huo Yisheng can sleep on the floor when he gets back, since there is plenty of open space anyway.
The key point is that she also has selfish motives and wants the sick Huo Yisheng to live in her own home.
There are also three little ones at home who have a fever. If they can keep their father company, they will feel safe.
Political Commissar Lin immediately said, "Hurry up! Send him home!"
Ye Shu ran two steps following the stretcher. She wanted to follow and personally take care of Huo Yisheng, but suddenly her legs went weak and she fell headfirst into the snow.
A soldier nearby helped her up and asked, "Doctor Ye, how are you?"
Ye Shu felt dizzy. She shook her head and put her hand on her forehead. She had a bad feeling: "I might have a fever too. Stay away from me."
Instead of avoiding her, the young soldiers resolutely helped her up from the snow: "Comrade Ye Shu, please go slowly. I will help you back!"
From a distance, Zheng Lan saw Huo Yisheng being carried forward quickly by the soldiers. She also saw Ye Shu being supported from behind. She quickly ran over, taking over from the young soldier to support Ye Shu, and asked, "You have a fever too?"
"It's okay, we have medicine now, and we will all be well soon."
Ye Shuwan refused: "No, I'll go by myself. Stay away from me. It will be bad if I pass it to you later."
Not only did Zheng Lan not let go, she actually held her steady: "We are all in the same camp. If we were infected, we would have been infected long ago."
"You two are both recognized to have better physical fitness than the rest of us. You both collapsed, which shows how hard you've worked for everyone. If we were to retreat and hide at this time, what kind of people would we be?"
