348 [The storm is coming]
In the next few days, the filming of "Star Wars" was still relatively smooth.
It was almost half a month before the scenes were filmed here, and the crew was very excited.
On the one hand, Zaisibat is really too backward. It is a border town, located between Tunisia and Lepiya, with a total population of less than 60,000, with inconvenient transportation, backward economy, and very poor.
There is only one phone number in the hotel, and I can’t call America, so I can only call Tunisia City. At the same time, there is only one TV in the hotel, and I can only receive one channel, which is the Tunisia National Channel.
This channel only broadcasts for four hours a day, and the programs broadcast are very simple, with only some news and religious programs, which are so boring. Therefore, after only staying here for more than ten days, everyone felt very annoyed.
On the one hand, the climate here is too harsh. Although Ye Jin had already taken precautions, the staff still fell ill one after another.
Either healing stroke or colds or get a cold or a mosquito bite, or he is full of bumps. In short, there are a few people who fall ill every day, which makes everyone very scared, fearing that one day the disease will come to you.
There is only one small hospital in Zaixibat, with only five doctors in total, and the medical skills are also careless. It depends on luck to cure the disease. If you don’t make it well, you will spread other diseases.
Fortunately, Ye Jin prepared some medicines in advance, which are effective for common headaches, fever, diarrhea, mosquito bites, etc., which saves everyone from a lot of pain.
...
"Ye, have you studied medicine before?" Lucas asked curiously.
He saw Ye Jin prescribed medicine for everyone and was extremely skilled. After everyone took his medicine, their symptoms were basically relieved, which was very magical.
"No, I am a good doctor who has been sick for a long time." Ye Jin smiled.
The people of Middle-earth generally like to be thrifty and do not have any minor illnesses or physical discomforts. They never go to the hospital, but often prepare some medicine to take. Over time, everyone has mastered some tricks.
In comparison, people in the Asiatica need to care more about life. They will see a doctor regardless of major disasters and minor illnesses. They will follow the doctor's advice. Over time, they will develop a dependence on doctors.
Although this will not cause misdiagnosis or delay the condition, under special circumstances, they will also lose the ability to save themselves.
"These medicines are commonly prepared by every family in Xiangjiang." Ye Jin smiled, "If you think they work, I can give you some in retrospect."
He bought the medicines with him from Chinatown, such as the Jinchan Pill for treating stomach pain, the Panjin Oil for treating mosquito bites, the Heart-protecting Oil for treating colds and nasal congestion, the Baoji Pill for treating nausea and vomiting, etc.
Although these medicines are not valuable, a box of panacea oil costs less than five dollars, they are the essence of traditional Chinese medicine and are very effective. Anyone who has used them says it is good.
"Okay, I was bitten by a mosquito that day. Please help me apply that cool ointment. Go back and give me a few boxes." Lucas nodded and said.
The accommodation environment in the hotel is very poor, there is no air conditioning and only electric fans, so everyone is used to opening the window when sleeping. However, there are a lot of mosquitoes here. After a few days, many people were bitten and itchy all over.
Lucas was unfortunately caught in the trap and was bitten several big bumps, which made him feel extremely itchy. He sat there and wanted to scratch it. Later, after Ye Jin applied panacea oil, his pain and itch magically disappeared, which surprised him by this magical ointment.
"Okay, there's no problem." Ye Jin nodded.
...
As he was talking, a black cloud suddenly surged from the northeast sky. In an instant, the weather, which was originally clear and clear, suddenly became dark and its visibility dropped greatly.
"Not good, the storm is coming!" The local guide immediately shouted to Lucas at the top of his voice.
"Storm?!" Ye Jin was startled when he heard this.
"Yes, we must go back to the city immediately, otherwise, once the storm blows, even the house can blow into the sky." The guide said immediately, "Hurry up, we don't have much time."
Seeing his urgent look and seeing the sky was so bad, Ye Jin didn't dare to ignore it, "Since that's the case, then let's finish the work first."
Lucas nodded and quickly asked everyone to pack up their equipment and props.
Seeing that the weather was so bad, the staff felt that things were not good, so they started to pack up without urging them.
As everyone cleaned up, the wind gradually blew up.
At the beginning, it was just a wisp of light wind blowing on my body, and I felt quite cool.
But gradually the wind became stronger and blew the sand. For a moment, the yellow sand rolled, and the visibility was less than fifty meters.
All the staff were blown all over the sand, and they were like sand people.
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" Seeing this, Ye Jin hurriedly covered his mouth and urged again.
It was very easy to install the equipment and props, and everyone got in the car and returned to the city.
At this time, the strong wind was blowing and whimpering. According to Ye Jin's estimate, it was above level seven.
The sand was blown to the car by it, making a sound of slapping. If it hits people's face, it is estimated that people can become pockmarks.
The yellow sand is everywhere, and the visibility is less than ten meters.
Thirty-five cars turned on their headlights together, followed by one, and fumbled towards the city of Zaixibat.
Halfway through the road, I heard a thunderclap, followed by a heavy rain.
"It will rain in the desert too?" Ye Jin said in surprise when he saw it.
"It is only 200 kilometers away from the seaside. Not only does it rain, but there are often storms in the rainy season," the local guide explained.
"Since that's the case, how could it still be a desert?" Ye Jin asked in surprise.
In his perception, it should be raining very rarely in the desert. If it rains frequently, it should be stored in water. Why will there be a desert?
"Although it rains heavily, it cannot retain water. No matter how heavy the rain is, it will disappear as soon as it gets sunny or sunbathing." The guide explained.
Ye Jin thought about it for a while, then nodded.
This is a desert, with hundreds of miles of land full of sand, so it is indeed not easy to store water. In addition, there is no vegetation protection, so soil erosion is very serious. In this case, it is indeed difficult not to turn into a desert.
"It's such a strong wind and such a heavy rain, I hope our set will not be in trouble." Ye Jin said again.
Lucas's face was also very serious.
Such strong winds and heavy rains may destroy the set, so the shooting will inevitably be delayed. If it delays a day, it will cost more than 100,000 US dollars. Not to mention rebuilding the set, it will also cost money.
