Chapter 86: The Man in the Ice
On this day, Kemp was sitting alone on a boulder in a daze as usual. The sky darkened unconsciously. Perhaps Kemp was too absorbed in his thoughts and did not notice the darkening sky at all.
When snowflakes as big as fist ice hit Kemp's face from the sky, Kemp suddenly came back to his senses. When he came back to his senses and took a look, he realized that it was almost dark. At the same time,
I also discovered that there were a few fewer sheep in my flock.
Of course, for people living at the foot of Mount Everest, snow is commonplace, but the absence of a few sheep made Kemp secretly worried.
Although the sky is getting dark, this place is located on a plateau, and the snow that never melts all year round makes it not so dark at night.
Kemp understood the importance of a few sheep to his family. Although it was getting late, he still gritted his teeth and decided to go to the mountains to look for them.
Sparse flowers were falling from the sky from time to time. Kemp knew that he had to go back before it snowed heavily. Otherwise, he might be buried in the snow or encounter an avalanche.
However, when Kemp thought about the lost sheep, he still insisted on continuing to look for them.
Just as Kemp was walking up the mountain through the snow, Kemp suddenly staggered and felt that he had stepped on something hard under his feet, almost causing him to fall.
When Kemp stood up cursing, he realized that one of his boots was still stuck in it and there was nothing he could do about it. It was impossible to walk in the snow without boots. Kemp had no choice but to squat down and pry it open.
Snow layer, looking for boots inside
Kemp kept digging downwards without using his hands. Suddenly, a strange color flashed across Kemp's face, and then his hands dug into the snow faster. It turned out that although Kemp did not find his boots, he...
However, he discovered that the stone that almost made him fall to the ground was not the stone as he imagined, but a large ice cube. Of course, it is not strange to find ice cubes in this place called the 'Roof of the World', but
, Kan once clearly saw a human face inside the ice cube. Although the sky was a little dark and it looked a bit blurry, he could still clearly see that it was actually a human face inside. As Kemp dug more and more
, the shape of a person is completely revealed
Kemp looked at a piece of ice and determined that there was a person frozen inside. Although he was extremely frightened, he resisted the idea of escape from this place and tried to get closer to see if the person was still breathing.
Kemp also heard from some elderly people in the village that some people from outside came here to travel and climb the snow-capped mountains in order to conquer the world's highest peak, but they lost their footing and fell down. Maybe they were frozen like this without being noticed.
If the rescue is timely, maybe a life can be saved.
Kemp tried to put the ice cubes on his back, but felt that it was too heavy. After all, Kemp was only a ten-year-old child.
At this time, Kemp completely forgot about his boots and the fact that he lost the sheep. Seeing that he could not carry the ice, he had no intention of staying any longer. Now he only had one thought in his mind, which was to go home as soon as possible and get rid of the ice.
Tell your father the truth
When Camp drove his flock of sheep and appeared at the entrance of the village, he found that his father and mother stretched out their long necks and looked at the road leading to the mountains. When he saw Camp's figure, it was obvious that he had long and comfortable eyes.
breathed a sigh of relief
Kemp’s mother couldn’t help complaining: “My child, you came back so late. What if the mountain is closed by heavy snow at night? Remember to come back early next time.” Although Kemp’s mother kept complaining, she still doted on her.
He touched Kemp's little head with his hand.
Kemp's father obviously noticed the abnormality on Kemp's face, and couldn't help but squat down and ask Kemp. At this time, Kemp was about to tell his father, so it was natural for him to ask Kemp when he saw his father.
He told his father exactly what he saw.
After Kemp's father heard this, he gave Kemp's mother a series of instructions, telling her to drive the sheep and go back first. Without explaining to her, he took Kemp by the hand and went straight to the home of the village chief Zhe.
Zheduo is the only educated person in Gagong Meilin Village and the only one who often goes to the Holy City. He is also the village chief and doctor.
Similarly, people come to him for any big or small issues in the village. He can be said to be the god here and the law here. He also understands the situation in his village and knows that the life in the village is difficult and there is no way to compare with the outside world. Therefore,
Under his advocacy, more and more children in the village could read.
On this day, after Zheduo had eaten, he held in his hand a Tibetan daily newspaper he had brought back from the Holy City half a month ago. Although he had read it countless times, he still insisted on reading it again every day.
However, at this time, Zheduo's mind was not on the newspaper, and he was thinking about how to connect the village with electricity. Of course, he didn't dare to think about the road. After all, it was too far away, even if he wanted to build it,
no funds
Just as Zheduo was sighing, there was a rush of footsteps outside. When Zheduo was confused, there was a knock on the door.
After listening to the story of Kemp and his son, Zheduo put down the newspaper in his hand and followed Kemp and his son towards the mountain.
Of course, when Kemp went out, he didn't forget to grab a boot from behind the door and put it on his feet.
When Camp took his father and the village chief of Zhedo to the mountain, the ice cubes were still lying there quietly.
Camp's father and Zhedo Village Chief also took a deep breath when they saw this scene. However, they didn't hesitate. They directly grabbed one end of the ice cube and threw it on their shoulders as they strode towards the village.
Kemp also followed the two of them one step at a time, but before leaving, he did not forget to grab the boots that he had not found before.
Under the dim oil lamp, Zheduo looked at the person in the ice cube in front of him motionless, and his heart felt a little frightened. Kemp's father, who was standing next to him, also looked at Zheduo with a questioning look on his face, and Kemp was too young.
After all the tossing tomorrow, I have now been taken home to sleep.
"What should the village chief do?" Kemp's father asked softly. "It seems that this person can't be saved. It's a pity that we don't have a hospital here, otherwise we can send him to have a look." Zheduo shook his head and sighed.
"How about we call the police?" Kemp's father said, looking at the only mobile phone in the village in Zheduo's waist.
"When the people from the police station arrive, I don't know how many days it will take. I'll try to break the ice first to see if this person can be saved. If not, we'll talk about it later." Zheduo also said helplessly. "Everyone has been injured."
It's frozen like this, is there any way to save it?" Camp's father couldn't help raising his voice and said in alarm, but he also understood that there was no other way.
Immediately afterwards, Kemp's father took out a hatchet from behind the door and struck it against the ice.
Seeing this, Zheduo lost color and shouted hurriedly, "Samba, stop, what are you doing? If you knock like this, even if the person can be saved, he will be beaten into pieces by you."
Kemp's father turned red when he heard this, but he immediately put away the hatchet he was holding in the air.
"Then what should we do?" Kemp's father asked.
"You turn up the fire in the stove and try to scald the ice with warm water."
