Chapter 510 373: Emergency, Climbing the Mountain in the Torrential Rain

Although Han Xianchen has been a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for decades, to put it bluntly, he has spent his whole life treating patients in this town and in a dozen or so villages.

He has seen too much life and death, and the variety of ailments is not vast.

Judging from his experience, Han Sanqiang's situation is probably not a simple illness; it is very likely an infection!

There are too many things in the mountains that can cause infections, and it's common for villagers to get infected by animals, plants, especially those that are poisonous.

With decades, through two or three generations of accumulation, Han Xianchen still has some methods.

However, this time Han Sanqiang's condition is far more severe than he thought; in just one day it has developed to such an extent, with his pulse in chaos, and even his heart and lung functions being affected.

His whole body is burning hot, blood boiling like fire; when Han Xianchen was just giving acupuncture, he noticed small red spots appearing on Han Sanqiang's body.

Based on these symptoms, Han Xianchen suspects that he has been infected, so he directly administered a dose of Qingwen Baidu San to him.

But he doesn't have much confidence in it; if the medicine had been taken the night before, the condition might have been controlled well, and he would have had enough time to treat it slowly.

Now, the pulse shows a sign of damaged heart vessels, and relying solely on two doses of decoction and acupuncture, Han Xianchen admits he doesn't even have thirty percent confidence.

The best solution is to go down the mountain and find someone from the town, using Western medicine to resist the viral erosion, to have a chance to save his life!

Under the night sky, a thin mist looms over the mountains, vaguely visible in the view is a winding path through the weeds, some places with a drop of more than one meter.

A man about thirty years old jogs quickly along the dirt path, not daring to delay for a moment.

This path is not the usual way they go down the mountain, but a less traveled one, yet it's the fastest route down.

But because it is too steep, and it goes through waist-high grass and shrubbery where snakes, insects, and wild boars often appear, it's quite dangerous, so if it's not a life-or-death situation, no one would want to take this risky path.

He is the younger brother of Han Sanqiang's wife, and upon hearing the news of his brother-in-law's serious illness, without saying a word, he immediately got dressed, grabbed a flashlight, and headed straight for the path, taking the shortest time to descend the mountain.

The night is hard to navigate; even though his arm is scratched by the roadside shrubs, he doesn't dare to stop because Mr. Han said that even one minute of delay could mean danger to life.

"Ouch!"

His foot slipped, and the man accidentally fell, almost hitting the rock in front of him, scaring him wide awake.

He climbed up with lingering fears, patted his chest, and then continued down the mountain...

-------

"Hello? Mayor Cao, it's like this, our medical team wants to go up the mountain, yes, yes, I think so too." Cai Wu made a call to Vice Mayor Cao, explaining the thoughts of Wang Yang and Qin Feng.

Sure enough, he was rejected.

Vice County Magistrate Cao also disagreed with them going up the mountain, especially at this time.

After all, the medical team is here to help support the local area; if something goes wrong on the mountain and they are blamed, it's inevitable that they will be scolded, affecting them is small, but the responsibility is significant.

"Alright, alright, I'll say it like that, good..."

Bam!

Before he finished speaking, the office door was pushed open heavily, giving him a scare.

"Director Cai, something has happened in Mawei Village!"

A scholarly young man wearing glasses rushed into the office, out of breath as he spoke.

"What happened?"

Cai Wu was taken aback, noticing that the phone had not been hung up; he covered the receiver and asked with a slight frown.

"Just now, villagers from Mawei Village came to our town hospital, saying that one of their villagers is suspected of a viral infection, the condition is critical, and we need to quickly get a doctor to take a look."

"What?!" Hearing this, Cai Wu was dumbfounded, and Qin Feng and Wang Yang waiting at the door came in immediately upon hearing this.

There is a patient!

Isn't this the opportunity?

"What's the patient's condition?" Qin Feng asked with a serious expression.

The young man looked at him without answering, instead looked towards Cai Wu.

"These two are the heads of the medical team, Director Qin and Director Wang! Speak quickly!"

Cai Wu shouted impatiently.

"Well... The person who came didn't know much either, they could only vaguely describe it and asked our doctor to check it out." The young man finally came to his senses, showing a difficult expression.

"Director Cai, this is a matter of life or death, quickly arrange for us to go up the mountain!" Qin Feng said firmly.

"Sigh, alright, Director Qin, you go back and get ready, I'll arrange for someone to lead you up the mountain in a while." Faced with this situation, even he had no more words.

"Okay." Saying that, Qin Feng and Wang Yang turned around and ran towards the hospital.

On the phone, the originally refusing Vice County Magistrate Cao had to reluctantly agree to their request to go up the mountain, asking the town to arrange for two experienced hands to lead the way, ensuring safety.

In the hospital, Qin Feng and Ye Ying, prepared two boxes of medical supplies, also changed into climbing cold-proof clothing and shoes, ready for the mountain.

"Ye Ying, thank you for your hard work this time." Qin Feng said, looking at the young girl in front of him.

"It's my duty, Director Qin, I will complete the task." Ye Ying showed a sweet smile, her eyes filled with little stars; she didn't expect Qin Feng to actively bring her along this time.

About ten minutes later, a car drove into the hospital yard.

"Director Qin, we will first drive you to the place closest to the mountain entrance to save time, the climbing equipment is in the car."

Cai Wu got out of the car and said to the two of them; there were already three people in the car, one of whom, all muddy and anxious, was probably a villager from Mawei Village.

"This is a staff member from our town government, familiar with the mountain roads and emergency responses, make sure to stay safe!"

"Alright, I understand, time is tight, let's set off."

Qin Feng nodded, and got into the car with Ye Ying.

Watching the car leave the courtyard, Cai Wu looked up at the increasingly oppressive and dark sky with mixed feelings, silently praying.

'Please don't let it rain!'

Even for those who walk fast, it would take two or three hours to climb the mountain, and it's Qin Feng and Ye Ying's first time climbing, not to mention, being city folks, they're sure to lack experience, it would take at least five or six hours.

If it starts raining during this period, the mountain road would be more than just difficult to traverse.

At the foot of the mountain, the car stopped.

All four of them packed their items on their backs and began to walk up the mountain; the path was just slightly more than one person wide, and the dirt road was difficult to hike.

After just half an hour, Ye Ying was already gasping for breath, and her steps began to slow down.

Though emergency nurses have good physical stamina, climbing is an extremely demanding activity in terms of physical exertion, and she only felt a bit lighter after the medical kit was taken over.

The four of them moved quickly on foot, and after an hour, the clouds in the sky grew heavier, and besides Qin Feng, the other two also started to feel fatigued.

"Director Qin, your stamina is really impressive, you don't even look tired." The town government worker was surprised to see Qin Feng breathing steadily, not even sweating.

"Haha, I exercise often, climbing a mountain is not a problem." Qin Feng brushed off the compliment.

Crack~!

Just as he finished speaking, suddenly a flash of lightning shot through the sky, and thunder echoed through the mountains.

Tap tap tap~

Large raindrops began to fall, instantly turning visibility misty.

It's raining!

"Oh no, it's pouring rain, this is a problem."

Seeing this, all of them had grim expressions; they had barely reached halfway, and in good weather they'd need over an hour more, but with the rain, muddy pathways would take even longer.

"We need to hurry up, the person might not make it," the man from Mawei Village urged anxiously.

"Alright, you help me carry the kit, Ye Ying, climb on my back, let's hurry up the mountain." Qin Feng thought for a moment and handed the medical kit to the villager, crouched down, and said to Ye Ying.

"This...isn't it inappropriate?" Ye Ying hesitated.

"No nonsense, any delay and we really won't make it up the mountain." Qin Feng urged.

"Alright..." With that, Ye Ying climbed onto his back.

"Let's quicken our pace, go!" Qin Feng stood up and said.

The group braved the downpour and continued quickly up the mountain...
