Chapter 1630 The despair of not being able to see the light(1/3)

In the cave, beside the fire pit, Wei Ran, who had just helped girl Hongxia straighten her broken bone, did not rush to treat the suppurating wound. Instead, he searched around the cave and finally found a gas lantern.

Fortunately, this lamp is also filled with calcium carbide. When it is lit, it is much brighter than a kerosene lamp.

By the time he had prepared the crucial lighting fixtures, the surgical instruments were almost cooked.

Not daring to delay any further, Wei Ran injected Hongxia with an anesthetic that might have expired, waited for a while, and then started working.

Under the blazing white light, as the suppurating wound was cut open, a stench came to the face, and the Oroqen girl Unakan, who was peeking next to her, could not help but show a trace of panic.

After only a brief hesitation, the girl walked further away and danced alone the shamanic dance that was passed down in ancient times and was used for prayer.

At the same time, Zhao Jinyu also found a large bowl, poured in the newly melted snow water, broke off a few ginseng strands, threw them in and patiently cooked them.

While Wei Ran was busy, the dead flesh and rotten flesh was cut off bit by bit from the suppurating wound, and he sutured it carefully. Finally, it was bandaged with the gauze dressing that had just been steamed, and a makeshift splint was attached.

"I'm ready here," Wei Ran said.

"I'll be fine soon too"

As Zhao Jinyu spoke, he brought over only half a bowl of ginseng soup that had been cooked, and then opened the tin box containing Angong Niuhuang Pills.

It was only then that Wei Ran noticed that this small iron box actually contained four wax pills wrapped in paper boxes.

After pinching out a wax pill and rubbing it open, Zhao Jinyu broke open the gold foil-wrapped pill and threw it into the ginseng soup and stirred it up. He said in advance, "I'm not a medical student, and I don't know if it's right to eat like this."

, these are all just like my brother-in-law did when he rescued my sister."

"Hey, let's treat a dead horse like a living doctor."

Wei Ran, who also didn't understand traditional Chinese medicine, said, "You saved me back then, and you will definitely be able to save Miss Hongxia this time."

"Try it..."

Zhao Jinyu, who had no confidence, sighed, called to Wei Ran to help Miss Hongxia up, and poured in the small half bowl of medicinal soup bit by bit.

"Then it depends on her own destiny."

Zhao Jinyu put down the bowl and sighed, "What trouble has happened to her? Where are Brother Hu and Squad Leader Xiaohu?"

"Just now I saw that there are still a few animal skins that seemed to have been removed a few days ago. I guess they haven't gone far."

Wei Ran said and looked at Unakan, who was still dancing, no, maybe I should say "dancing master", "What is she doing?"

"She should believe in shamanism"

Zhao Jinyu felt a lot more confident this time, "My grandma also believed in shamanism when she was alive. This is a trance."

"Hope it's useful..."

Wei Ran muttered and then said, "I'm going to see what's going on outside."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on her." Zhao Jinyu waved his hand and said.

After extinguishing the gas lamp, Wei Ran carried an oil lamp and walked around Unakan, who was still dancing, and walked outward along the narrow tunnel that seemed to be naturally formed.

This tunnel, which is less than one meter wide, is unexpectedly long, and there are bends every now and then.

After walking around like this for nearly a hundred meters, this natural tunnel gradually became much wider. There were even a few food troughs made of logs on the side.

Beside the trough, there are piles of hay that can be eaten by animals and a salt brick tied to the edge of the trough.

He randomly broke off a grass stalk, piled it on the edge of a pile of dung, and poked it. Although the appearance of this pile of dung, which he didn't know whether it was horse dung or mule dung, was slightly dry and hard, it was still barely "fresh" on the inside.

”.

Looks like he didn't go long...

Wei Ran threw away the grass stalk, stood up, and continued walking outside. After turning another corner, he finally saw the entrance and exit of the cave.

Compared to the space inside the cave, the cave entrance is only one person tall and barely about one meter wide.

Pushing open the wooden door made of wooden boards, animal skins, and pine bark nailed to the outside for camouflage, the first thing he saw were two pine trees thicker than his waist growing about less than two meters away from the cave.

And between the two pine trees, there is a mound that looks to be two meters high and covered with snow.

By the light of the oil lamp, he could still vaguely see the branches of the shrubs on the mound that had not been buried by the snow.

Wei Ran even suspected that this mound might have been artificially piled up to block the view, otherwise how could it have buried the tree nests at the bottom of the two tall pine trees.

I don't know where Hu Ba pointed them to go. Now I can only wait until Miss Hongxia wakes up. Before that, maybe we can get the animals and sledges from the other end of the mine.

Wei Ran was thinking secretly. He had just noticed that there was nothing decent to eat in the cave where Hongxia was hiding except some dried meat.

Thinking of this, he also took a step back, closed the thick wooden door again, turned around and walked back.

All the way back to the end of the cave, Unakan was still dancing the shaman dance to pray for blessings religiously, while Zhao Jinyu was playing with various weapons on the ground.

"Where did you find all this?"

Wei Ran asked curiously. Among the weapons in this pile, the most numerous ones were the Japs’ 38 caps. In addition, there were also Golden Hook rifles, Ma Sihuan, Liao 13 rifles, and a few box cannons and large guns.

There are all kinds of flower traps in the Gu factory, and there are more than 20 of them in total.

"I just dug it out of the box over there."

Zhao Jinyu raised his hand and pointed to a wooden box placed against the wall not far away, as well as a pile of animal skins that he had moved to one side. He frowned and said, "Many of these guns are rusty, and none of them have bullets.

"

"It seems they are having a hard time..." Wei Ran sighed, and then expressed his thoughts.

Glancing at Unakan who was still dancing to pray for blessings, Zhao Jinyu nodded, "Then let's go back now. Unakan, you take care of Miss Hongxia."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After hearing this, Unakan, who was mumbling words, opened his eyes and glanced at the two of them, then closed his eyes again.

"Let's go"

Zhao Jinyu said, stepping on the ladder and climbing back to the window deliberately left above his head.

The two of them crawled back into the rock crack one after another. After that, they made some noises in tacit agreement. Then they extinguished the kerosene lamp and hid in the darkness to secretly observe Unakan in the cave outside.

.

Obviously, Zhao Jinyu also did not completely believe that Oroqen girl.

After observing silently for nearly 20 minutes, they saw that Unakan was still dancing the shaman dance religiously. The two of them looked at each other, quietly relit the oil lamp, climbed down the crack, and followed the original path.

Quickly returned to the other end of the abandoned mine.

Not daring to delay at all, the two extinguished the charcoal fire in the clay stove, led all the animals out as quickly as possible, and then carried out the sledges and the things they had brought with them and yoked them.

"I can't make a deer," Zhao Jinyu said awkwardly.

"It's okay, I can."

Wei Ran had already sat on the reindeer sledge before he finished speaking, "I'll leave the rest to you?"

"OK!"

Zhao Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, tied the two horses to both sides of the mule's sledge, and shouted at the mule to start running.

Leaving Langcaozigou in the wind and snow, the two of them walked several times in the deep mountains and old forests. When they finally found the hidden cave, it was already more than an hour later.

Fortunately, when they drove the animals in and tied them up, moved everything including the sledges in, and returned to the end of the cave, Unakan, who was already out of breath, was still dancing the shaman dance religiously.

"Isn't she going to stop?" Wei Ran asked in a low voice.

"You have to jump to exhaustion before stopping. I don't understand." Zhao Jinyu also replied in a low voice, "I don't believe this, so I don't understand. Brother Wei, do you have anything to eat? I haven't eaten anything all day.

Already."

"If you didn't tell me earlier, there is food, just wait."

As Wei Ran spoke, he took out an untouched lunch box and placed it on the clay stove. Then he walked to the fire pit and reached out to touch Miss Hongxia's forehead.

"The fever is really gone!" Wei Ran exclaimed, and Hongxia, who was lying on the kang, seemed to slowly open her eyes because of the touch on her forehead.

"Yes...it's Brother Wei..."

Hongxia glanced at Wei Ran, then at Zhao Jinyu who was running over, and at Unakan who was running out of breath after stopping his dance routine. She murmured feebly, "Brother Jinyu is here too, why is Unakan here too? Me.

..Have I entered the underworld?"

"You're still alive?" Wei Ran and the other three said in unison, and Unakan burst into tears and burst into tears.

"Still... still alive..."

Hongxia was a little disappointed. She looked around and said blankly, "Little...brother Xiaohu, and...where is Brother Hu?"

"Where have they gone?" Wei Ran asked.

"I...I don't know..."

Hongxia didn't finish her sentence before she fainted and lost consciousness again.

"It's okay, it's okay"

Seeing the look of panic and despair on Unakan's face, Wei Ran immediately reassured her, "Let her sleep. She will wake up when she has had enough sleep."

"I just don't know where Squad Leader Xiaohu and Brother Hu are." Zhao Jinyu muttered worriedly, and then asked, "Brother Wei, do you think how did Miss Hongxia get the injury on her leg?"

"Not a gunshot wound"

Wei Ran guessed, "The fracture seems to have been caused by a fall. When we just debrided her, we found some wood stubble in the wound on her calf."
