Chapter 1306 Dawn in Despair
At around three o'clock in the morning, Su Tao finally treated the last severe patient. With his efforts, the first day of the medical aid team entering Tali Village, there was no death unprecedented.
Su Tao arranged for someone to deliberately spread the news, and the villagers in Tari instantly improved a lot because they suddenly realized that they were still likely to survive. Under the influence of Siqi Decoction, most of the villagers' condition was relieved and controlled, and it would not worsen within at least three to five days. The most urgent task is to find anti-toxic agents.
However, this is not what Su Tao is good at, and it has to be decided by Anderson.
Because Anderson did not go deep into Tari Village, he set up a temporary camp outside the blockade circle. He received news that the main road leading to Tari Village was occupied by militants, so he was also worried.
Su Tao had an indirect conversation through Qiao Xue and Anderson: "I treated nearly 100 patients today, and their situation was different from the Qishanling virus, so it may be necessary to start from other angles."
Anderson said helplessly: "We found some data about the laboratory from the military, and are now analyzing and comparing. Because there are many data and the screening is very complicated, we have not yet found the correct anti-toxic agent."
Su Tao was in a little calmer mood. He cured Najia himself. The chip he found indeed contained the virus database of the Dark Gene Research Institute. Although there are a lot of data in the virus database and it took a long time for Anderson's team to analyze it, it at least proved that this path is effective.
If Anderson did not have a data reference for the Tari virus, it would take at least two months to find an anti-toxic agent. However, it has undoubtedly shortened a lot of time, which is one of the few good news that makes people feel refreshed.
Su Tao encouraged Anderson and said: "Don't worry. Although Tari Village has been isolated from the outside world, the villagers' condition has been controlled. No one died yesterday, which gave us enough time."
When Anderson saw Su Tao say this, he felt much more relaxed. Anderson's pressure was actually not much easier than Su Tao, because he knew that as long as he couldn't find the right anti-toxic agent for a day, many people would die, so he was very anxious and irritable.
Anderson promised: "We will work overtime to find data on the Tari virus from the virus library as soon as possible, and then develop anti-toxic agents."
Su Tao nodded and said, "I'll ask you for everything."
"Why are you polite? This is my mission." Anderson smiled relaxedly.
Su Tao was about to hang up the phone, but Qiao Xue suddenly asked, "Huashi, is he okay?"
"Old Liao? He didn't sleep all night like me. Do you want to chat with him?" Su Tao said with a smile.
"No! Let him take more time to take care of the patients, or take a little rest." Qiao Xue said considerately.
Su Tao said: "Okay, I will tell him that you will send him greetings."
"Thank you!" Qiao Xue hung up the phone.
Su Tao sat on a simple small bed. Because of the difficult conditions, the bed was very small. With his height, he could not fully stretch, so he could only sleep on his side. On the curtain door of the tent outside, the mist condensed into water droplets overnight, and occasionally dripped water. The air in Tali Village was relatively humid. On the surface, he seemed to be normal, but in fact he was forcing him to hold on. Today, he treated so many people and emptied his body. So he just lay down and fell asleep quickly, and even started snoring like nothing.
A moment later, a pretty figure appeared next to the bed. It turned out to be Ji Xiangjun. She actually accompanied Su Tao silently without rest. She was holding a quilt in her hand and gently covered Su Tao's body.
Su Tao was actually very sensitive in this environment. He grabbed Ji Xiangjun's wrist and scared Ji Xiangjun.
Su Tao once lived alone in the primeval forest for a while. The current situation in Tali Village reminded him of that memory, so he looked very sleeping, but in fact he was highly vigilant. Whenever there was a turbulence, he would instinctively react.
"So it's you!" Su Tao quickly reacted, "I haven't been sleeping so late, why are you doing sneakily in my room?"
Ji Xiangjun retracted her wrist. Su Tao was very strong, and she felt so painful. She kindly wanted to add a quilt to Su Tao. Unexpectedly, she would complain early, and she felt extremely wronged. However, she thought that Su Tao was too tired, so she had a bad temper and whispered: "I plan to add a quilt to you."
Su Tao nodded, his head was dizzy, and he subconsciously pulled the quilt, and found that there was a scent of flowers that seemed to be there and there. He thought to himself that this was not the quilt that Ji Xiangjun had used, right?
It is indeed quite warm when it is covered on it. Su Tao said, "Leave the quilt and you can leave. Today is the first day of our disaster relief. You must hurry up and rest, otherwise you will be exhausted later, and I will take care of you."
"Then I won't disturb you to rest anymore. I'll go back and take a nap!" Ji Xiangjun saw Su Tao close his eyes again, and then left the tent.
After Ji Xiangjun left, Su Tao suddenly opened his eyes and said to himself: "This woman has slowly adapted to her identity. Some of the things she did are quite satisfactory, but her arrogant personality has not been completely changed, so she still has to continue to train her!"
...
"Clang!"
A crisp sound of iron ramming woke Su Tao from his dream. He glanced at the time on his phone and slept for two hours. The morning light outside was slightly dewy, and noisy sounds came from outside the temporary camp. Su Tao thought something unexpected happened, so he quickly rubbed his face, cheered up, and walked out quickly, but saw the village chief Haynes tremblingly coming towards him with a crutch.
"Guardian Haines, your condition has only been relieved a little, and you have to continue to rest." Su Tao was a little surprised. It was still dawn, so what did Haines bring a group of people to the camp for?
Haines's eyes were full of emotion and he said a lot of words. Su Tao couldn't understand Talijik's words. Seeing Xie Jiaojiao rubbing her sleepy eyes and walking out of the tent, he quickly waved to Xie Jiaojiao, "You can help translate it!"
Xie Jiaojiao communicated with Haines, and her face showed a look of surprise, "Guardian Haines said that they went to the back mountain of the ranch last night, caught some purple lambs, and slaughtered them, so that they could solve the problem of hunger."
After the epidemic in Tari Village was raging, Haines was worried that these purple lambs would not be raised, so he opened the pasture and let them go. Now that there is insufficient food, Haines suddenly thought that these purple lambs could be used as food, so he asked Jacob to go up the mountain with a hunting rifle. The purple lambs were kept in captivity for a long time, so it was not like pure wild animals that are wild and difficult to tame, so hunting was not difficult. Jacob and others beat about seven or eight. Haines thought that they could fill their stomachs first.
Seeing that Jacob started to deal with the purple lamb on the spot, Su Tao skillfully separated the sheepskin and the meat with a knife. Xiao Yu, among the volunteers, was good at cooking. He gestured with Jacob. Jacob handed the knife to Xiao Yu. Seeing that Xiao Yu's movement of dividing the meat was more skillful than himself, Jacob gave Xiao Yu a thumbs up at Xiao Yu.
Su Tao sighed inwardly. Although the situation is critical now, the volunteers and the villagers of Tali Village get along well and the atmosphere is very good, which provides a good foundation for disaster relief.
Xiao Yu quickly processed the mutton, and he also sorted out the internal organs of the purple lamb. The other volunteers picked up dry firewood and set up a fire. Xiao Yu sharpened the branches, inserted the mutton into skewers, and placed it next to the fire to smoke and grill. Before long, the fat mutton began to simmer. Xiao Yu sprinkled sprinkled with spices such as pepper and cumin, and soon the aroma spread around.
Xiao Yu found a large iron pot, chopped the sheep's internal organs and threw them into the pot to stew it, and then added spices such as fennel and star anise. Along with the white heat, a stronger meaty aroma, overshadowed the smell of roasted lamb.
Su Tao asked Xiao Yu to prepare a bowl of mutton soup first and handed it to Haines. After Haines finished drinking it, he felt that the whole body was steaming and gave Xiao Yu a thumbs up. Xie Jiaojiao translated from the side: "He said that they also ate sheep occasionally in the past, but they didn't expect that the sheep's internal organs could be cooked so delicious."
Su Tao smiled and said, "Mutton has the effect of nourishing the body. Let the villagers eat some mutton and drink some mutton soup later."
A moment later, the long-lost laughter came from the temporary camp. The villagers of Tari who saw a glimmer of dawn from the disease gathered together to pick up skewers. Jacob and his men also merged into it, as if they had forgotten the previous unhappiness.
"It's a pity that there is no wine, otherwise it would be even more enjoyable." Su Tao took a few more bites of mutton soup and suddenly felt a little tired.
Liao Huashi came over from not far away and said with a smile: "I just happened to bring wine here. These Talijiks don't drink wine, let's drink it secretly."
Su Tao sipped it and felt the mellow taste in his mouth. He said in surprise: "What kind of wine is this? It tastes good and has the aroma of fruit."
Liao Huashi laughed and said, "The homemade fruit wine is mixed with some fruit in the white wine, so the food is very good, but the amount is very high, so you can't drink it."
Although Su Tao still wanted to take a few sips, he still held back and had to work later, so he still had this kind of self-control.
The people of Talijik were actually very optimistic. Some people were full and started singing and dancing. Su Tao actually had an illusion that the disaster had left the sky above Tali Village, and this group of people could recuperate and rebuild their homes.
"This group of people is really friendly. Even bastards like Jacob are very friendly to us Chinese." Liao Huashi also put down his wine glass and said softly.
"I think everyone has felt this. They racked their brains to give us what they can give us, and I have to repay this kindness. Dongfang has already made it clear and a new day has begun. Our task today is to follow up all the severely ill patients yesterday and treat people with mild symptoms at the same time." Su Tao said inspiringly.
Liao Huashi smiled, "Come on!"
