Chapter 302 Winter Swimming Is Risky
Han Li didn't know what Yun Yingying's reaction was after she arrived. He soon stopped feeling cold after he crossed the freezing ice and entered the water.
Although the temperature outside was about 20 to 30 degrees below zero, the river water under the ice gave him a very warm feeling, and it was estimated to be above zero degrees.
(Winter swimming has risks, and ice swimming has even greater risks. You must be fully prepared under the guidance of professionals before you can proceed. Don't try it lightly.)
Han Li felt relieved after feeling the temperature under the water. Zhou Guoan should not be dead at this water temperature, right?
He quickly came to Zhou Guoan and touched his neck. Although the carotid artery was beating very slowly, it was still pulsating, which meant that he was not dead yet. So what was the situation of his coma?
However, Han Li immediately understood the reason, because the oxygen here was too thin. He felt a little stuffy after just moving twice. He could only avoid this situation by raising his head high out of the water, but it was too cold above the water. This was simply unbearable.
Seeing this, Han Li did not dare to delay any longer. He quickly tied Zhou Guoan up with a rope and shouted to the people above.
"Pull the rope that is tied to Zhou Guoan."
"Everyone line up and keep your steps steady. Listen to my call and pull together. One, two, three, pull."
Why do people say that there is strength in numbers? Zhou Guoan's weight plus his cotton-padded clothes soaked with water, he must be two or three hundred pounds now. Just like that, he was pulled up with everyone's call. Then the voice of Village Chief Zhao came from above.
"He is still breathing. Hurry up and have a few people pull him back to the Youth House. When you get there, strip him of his clothes first. Don't put him directly on the kang. First wipe his body with snow little by little, and then wipe it with warm water when it is warm. When his body is soft, he can be put on the kang."
Hearing this, Han Li knew that Village Chief Zhao was an experienced person. Maybe this kind of situation has happened in the local area. At this time, Yun Yingying's head suddenly popped out of the ice cave, and shouted with a worried face and a trembling voice.
"Brother Li, Brother Li, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry."
"Yun Zhiqing and all of you Zhiqing, get out of here, we're going to pull Han Li out, you can go and make the fire burn brighter, so that he can suffer less when he comes out."
Han Li was pulled onto the ice with everyone's shouts, and when the cold wind blew, he felt only one word: "cold".
It was still the kind of cold from the inside out, and Han Li felt his heartbeat slowing down, breathing a little difficult, and even the muscles in his body felt like they wanted to become stiff.
"Han Li."
"Brother Li, how are you?"
Han Li didn't bother to talk nonsense with everyone, nor did he bother to untie the rope around his waist. He waved to everyone and ran to the fire, and then started to fight.
The two sisters ran over with Han Li's clothes, first throwing the coat on the ground for Han Li to step on, and then began to wipe the ice drops on his body without affecting his body movements.
Later, everyone came over and stood upwind, hoping to block some of the cold wind for him.
Han Li moved his body and put on his clothes when he felt that he was almost done. At this time, the wet shorts on his body had become a little stiff in the cold wind, and it was definitely not possible to wear outer clothes with them.
At this time, Han Li didn't care about those messy things, and took off his shorts directly, and then quickly put on his cotton pants. Even so, he was seen clearly by the people around him, and soon there were bursts of whispers around.
"My goodness, is this a human thing? The size is almost the same..."
"That's right, it's still frozen and shrunk, if."
But Han Li didn't have time to pay attention to these things now, he was quickly putting on clothes.
After putting on all the clothes, Han Li smiled at Yun Yingying and said while continuing to punch.
"It was really cold just now, but I'm fine now."
But at this time, Han Li really admired those old Russians who believed in Eastern * Christianity. You know, they would have a baptism ceremony every year on the Epiphany. All believers had to break the ice and jump into the frozen lake or river to celebrate the festival.
This activity was open to all men, women, young and old. Even those little kids who couldn't walk would be held by their families and rinsed in the water three times. It was said that the youngest child was only six months old. They said that using freezing cold water could "purify" the soul.
No one knew whether the soul was purified, but the old Russians were indeed immune to the cold and had strong physiques.
At this time, Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang came over, looked at Han Li carefully and said with relief.
"You did a great job today, kid. Now that you've recovered, go home and let Yun Zhiqing make you some red sugar ginger water to get rid of the cold."
"You're a medical worker and you should know your current situation. When you go back, you should take medicine, take medicine, and get acupuncture. Don't let yourself get sick."
Han Li responded modestly and politely, then looked at the group of children and said.
"I think these little guys are worthy of praise. They bit their mouths and bled in order to untie the rope. The higher-ups should give them a certificate of commendation."
Han Li's words brought smiles to the faces of those little brats and their parents. Honor is so important these days. If they can really give their children a certificate of commendation, it will play a big role in the future, whether they go to college, get a job, or even join the army.
Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang also thought so. If this matter goes well, there may be quotas for university, employment, and military service next year. Even if there are no quotas, it can reduce the impact of Zhang San and other educated youth this year.
Village Chief Zhao smiled, but said in an unusually firm tone.
"This is a must. Now you should hurry back and rest. However, if you can hold on, go with us to the educated youth hospital to see how Zhou Guoan is doing. If the situation is not good, I will send someone to send him to the county hospital."
Han Li nodded and agreed quickly, but on the way back, he walked with the little guys.
"You are all great just now. Come to my house in a few days to make you delicious food."
"What delicious food does Brother Han make?"
"How about I make honeycomb candy for you?"
Yun Yingying wanted to go up and ask about Han Li's situation at this time, but was stopped by Yun Jingjing, who was quick-witted and said in a low voice in her sister's ear.
"Han Li, what you are doing now is the most correct. We can talk about anything when we get home."
At this time, in the dormitory of the male educated youth in the Youth Academy, Yan Weimin and Xu Yongjian had just lifted Zhou Guoan to the kang.
They never thought that one day they would wipe the body of a man of similar age.
And wiped it several times with snow, and wiped it twice with warm water when Zhou Guoan's body temperature was about the same.
After the two of them covered Zhou Guoan with a quilt, they looked at each other depressed and squatted at the door to smoke together.
Before they finished smoking a cigarette, Village Chief Zhao and others brought Han Li and a large group of onlookers came in.
"Han Li, go and see what Zhou Guoan is like now, you two come and tell me about this matter."
Yan Weimin and Xu Yongjian were called aside for questioning, and Han Li walked into the dormitory of the male educated youth.
But Han Li felt bad when he saw Zhou Guoan at first sight, because he was flushed and breathing rapidly.
Han Li quickly reached out his hand and felt his forehead was very hot. Although it was normal to have a fever after falling into the water in this weather, Zhou Guoan's fever and coma were not a good thing, because his physical condition could only be more accurately described by himself.
Han Li felt his body and found nothing. He turned his head and said to the door.
"Yingying, go to the health room and get my medicine box."
"Oh."
Yun Yingying responded and quickly squeezed everyone away and ran towards her home.
Han Li took out Zhou Guoan's wrist and began to diagnose his pulse. After a while, he slowly put his arm back into the quilt.
At this time, Yun Yingying had already brought the medicine box. After Han Li took it, he asked her to wait outside and called Zhang Yaozu, who was watching the excitement at the door, in.
"Brother Han, what do you need?"
"Yaozu, bring a bowl of warm water over and use it later."
Han Li took out a syringe that had not been used once, broke the penicillin and injected it into Zhou Guoan.
Next, Han Li held Zhou Guoan's back with one hand to make him look up, and pinched his mouth with the other hand.
Zhang Yaozu put a few aspirin tablets into Zhou Guoan's mouth, and then poured a bowl of warm water.
Finally, he gave him a few injections to help reduce fever. At this time, Village Chief Zhao and others also came in.
"How is it?"
"The arm Zhou Guoan used to grab the rope is not very good. He is now in a coma with a high fever and can't speak, so I can't tell the details. I am trying my best to help him reduce the fever, but I suggest that he be sent to the county hospital as soon as possible."
"Not very good?"
"The blood vessels in that arm are not very smooth, and even the pulse is affected, so... I am not optimistic, but there should be more skilled doctors at the county hospital, they should."
Village Chief Zhao frowned after hearing this. If this matter is not handled well, the original credit will be reduced by half, but now it is still important to save people, and other things can be discussed after Zhou Guoan wakes up.
"Go get someone to the barn to harness the cart. You two live in the same room with Zhou Guoan, so come in and find his clothes and put them on him."
Yan Weimin stood up a little depressed and said, "Village Chief Zhao, Zhou Guoan only has the cotton-padded clothes he has on, and they are all icy now, so there is no way to put them on."
In this era, both cloth and cotton are extremely rare, and a set of cotton-padded clothes is also normal. Village Chief Zhao can't ask others to contribute their cotton-padded clothes, so he said a little irritably.
"Then you can find Zhou Guoan's single clothes and put them on him, and then wrap him up with a quilt."
After saying this, Village Chief Zhao waved to Captain Liang and Han Li and walked out.
