Chapter 237 Entering the Ice City
Regardless of whether or not to have surgery, Han Li moved this leader Liu to the bed first.
Village Chief Zhao saw Han Li's puzzled look, picked up the pipe from the side, filled it, lit it, and began to tell the story of this leader.
This leader Liu has three sons and a daughter, and the situation of his children is also a bit complicated. In this era, many things are too complicated and some things are inconvenient to say.
But as long as you are alive, as long as you are in the system, you can't avoid standing in line or being stood in line.
This leader Liu is lucky because he has never been on the front line of the unit because of his leg injury.
Later, he was placed in this small station by his comrades-in-arms. His job is to inspect this section of the railway, and occasionally guard the goods that need to be transported here for two days.
Although the days are a bit boring, it is much better than being transferred to work in a factory or farming in the village.
Because he himself is a half-disabled person, and he left the vortex of the unit early, no one is thinking about him.
And
Village Chief Zhao briefly said what he had not finished saying in the time it took to smoke a pack of cigarettes, and then added a sentence embarrassedly.
"Haha, to be honest, I am still anxious. It is indeed a bit impractical to remove the shrapnel because the light is too dim now."
Han Li thought that he did not rely on light to operate, and it was more convenient for him to operate in dim light, so he said.
"Village Chief, the light is not a big problem. Let's take off Leader Liu's pants first, so that it will be convenient for me to remove the shrapnel."
"Is it really okay? Let's be more cautious. At worst, I can get him drunk again tomorrow."
"I have memorized the location of the shrapnel and I am sure I can get them out."
"Will it not hurt the tendons?"
"No."
"Okay, then you go and prepare things, I will take off his pants. When he was injured and couldn't move, I took off his pants to help apply medicine and clean the wound. I didn't expect that he would be stripped of his pants after so many years. I will blackmail him to death after the matter is done."
Han Li nodded and began to prepare things on the side, such as silver needles, knives, needles and threads, and other items for disinfection.
When he was almost ready, Village Chief Zhao had already taken off Leader Liu's pants.
Han Li stepped forward and used a silver needle to seal the pain for him, and on the surface, he still used the silver needle to confirm the location of the shrapnel.
The skin that needed to be operated on was disinfected repeatedly, and then the knife was cut, and an incision of the same size as the shrapnel appeared.
At this time, Han Li looked very focused. He used one hand to fix the leg, and the other hand kept kneading and hitting the designated position, which made the nearby muscles tremble regularly like water waves, and the blood flowed more at the incision.
This operation stunned Village Chief Zhao who was standing by. Just when he wanted to say something, Han Li reached into the bleeding incision with tweezers and directly pulled out a piece of shrapnel and put it on the table. He let out a heavy breath, wiped the non-existent sweat with his sleeve, and then continued the original steps.
In fact, Han Li had already decomposed the shrapnel when he made the incision, and then began to try to decompose the tumor that grew together with the shrapnel.
It's okay if the tumor is not removed, because it will be absorbed by the body with a high probability over time.
But Han Li inexplicably wanted to try it, after all, it was difficult for him to come across such cases in Shanghe Village.
After trying twice, his mental energy was consumed a lot, but the effect was almost undetectable.
Han Li gathered his mind and began to perform attentively. Not long after, both shrapnels were taken out.
The next step was to wipe and disinfect, apply his homemade wound medicine, and simply suture the incision with two stitches and wrap it up.
Then Han Li carefully felt the pulse of Leader Liu, showing a tired expression and looking at the nervous Village Chief Zhao and said.
"Village Chief has fulfilled his mission. This time it went very smoothly without hurting his muscles and bones. Leader Liu only needs to rest for a few days and wait for the wound to heal, and he can basically get rid of the pain and torture he had before."
"Okay, okay, if he can get rid of the pain this time, it's all your credit. I won't say anything extra. In the future, you can see if I'm honest or not."
After some politeness, the two heated up the dishes, filled their stomachs, and went to bed.
After all, it was not very comfortable to sit crookedly on the train for a night, so Han Li slept soundly this time.
The next day, Han Li went outside to practice boxing early in the morning.
When Han Li slowly put away his boxing and returned to the door of the house, he heard Village Chief Zhao and Leader Liu sitting on the kang and chatting.
However, from their conversation, it can be heard that this person did not complain about Village Chief Zhao's presumptuous decision, which made Han Li relieved.
After Han Li returned to the house, he naturally expressed his gratitude again. He heated up the leftovers from yesterday and told about breakfast.
After dinner, Han Li took out the ointment to relieve old injuries, explained the efficacy and asked Leader Liu to apply it when he felt uncomfortable.
Because he had just had surgery yesterday, Han Li was embarrassed to go out and just sat aside to read the newspapers here. Village Chief Zhao and Leader Liu sat on the kang to play chess and chat.
The first day passed like this, and Village Chief Zhao did not show any intention of leaving.
When Han Li went around the next day, the mountains here were relatively short, not even as high as the mountains outside Shanghe Village.
And just as Leader Liu said, the trees on the mountain were cut down during the steelmaking period, and the trees that were replanted later were too young. If you are lucky, you can encounter small animals such as pheasants and hares here, but if you are unlucky, you can't even find a mushroom.
I heard that there was a mine in a distant place, but Han Li didn't ask what kind of mine it was, because no matter what kind of mine it was, it was owned by the state, and he didn't plan to go to a place with real guns and bullets.
There is a small river here that is about the same size as Shanghe Village. Han Li originally planned to get some ice here, but considering that there are mines around, he gave up this idea.
That night, Leader Liu changed the medicine and asked about the wound. The other party said that he felt very good. Now he no longer has the hard and swollen feeling he had before, and his whole leg feels much more comfortable.
On the third day, Han Li didn't go out to wander around because the situation around him was too boring.
So he stayed in the house drinking tea, reading books, listening to their chats, and occasionally joining in a sentence or two.
However, Leader Liu asked Han Li to change his name to Uncle Liu, and Village Chief Zhao became Uncle Zhao.
After dinner that night, Liu asked Village Chief Zhao to help him walk around the house twice.
Han Li did not stop him because each wound only had two stitches and it had barely been three days. Some simple exercises would be beneficial to the recovery of the wound.
Uncle Liu walked around twice with the help of Han Li and Village Chief Zhao. He sat on the kang and praised Han Li's skills.
On the fourth day, Han Li had just returned from boxing practice outside. Village Chief Zhao took out several pieces of paper with the official seal of Shanghe Village and handed them over.
"You must be bored here these two days. There is a train passing by today. You can take these certificates and go to Bingcheng to play for a few days. When you have enough fun, you can go back to Shanghe Village directly."
"Uncle Zhao, I can't leave now. Uncle Liu's wound needs to be changed every day, and the stitches on it have not been removed yet."
Uncle Liu smiled and said, "We are no less skilled than you in changing the dressing. As for removing the stitches, it is not a big deal. In those years, we removed most of the stitches on our own wounds by ourselves.
So you don't have to stay here with the two of us, and if you don't leave today, you will have to wait until three days later for the next train."
Village Chief Zhao also meant this at this time. Han Li is now a person who listens to advice and eats a full meal.
So Han Li left all the remaining wound medicines and discussed with Village Chief Zhao about who should go back to the village first.
When the train arrived, Han Li left the small station. He was still sitting in the cargo wagon.
Amid the sound of clanging along the way, Han Li once again set foot on the land of Bingcheng.
After walking out of the train station, Han Li looked at his watch. The current time was 11:10 am.
At this time, Han Li remembered the "Renewal Hotel" in Bingcheng mentioned in the nostalgic article he saw in his previous life. At that time, it was called the last state-owned hotel.
So Han Li asked passers-by for the address, and then took the bus to go there.
He got off at Nansidao Street in Daowai, and then walked for a while before arriving at the door of this Renewal Hotel. Judging from the facade of the hotel, it was about that time.
After Han Li walked in, he found that there was a space of about 60 square meters inside, which was not small at the moment.
All state-owned restaurants have the same menu hanging on the walls, and Han Li didn't know what was delicious here.
However, Han Li had been drinking cold air for a whole morning. When he saw that there were wontons on the menu, he wanted to order one to warm his stomach.
Then he saw the donkey meat hot cakes eaten by the people next to him, and finally asked for three donkey meat hot cakes and a bowl of wontons.
After paying the money, Han Li found a seat and sat down. Not long after, the waiter shouted loudly at the window.
"The wontons and donkey meat hot buns that comrade ordered are ready now. Come and take them away quickly. Don't stand there."
Well, not only are the menus the same, but the service attitude is also exactly the same.
But the portions here are really big. The wontons are a big bowl full of wontons, and the donkey meat hot buns are also big.
The wontons are all thin-skinned and have big fillings. You can tell at a glance that there are a lot of ingredients in them.
The donkey meat hot buns fall apart when touched and are very crispy, and there is a lot of donkey meat in them.
But Han Li still drank a mouthful of wonton soup first, and the soup tasted very delicious.
The wonton fillings were well seasoned, and seemed to be a little better than Yun Jingjing's, but it could also be that Han Li was hungry.
The donkey meat hot buns were really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The skin of the hot buns was so crispy that it fell apart, and the donkey meat inside was just salty and light.
Just as Han Li was working hard, a very small voice came from the table next to him.
"Brother, have you heard? A new batch of goods arrived at Brother Long's black market yesterday. It is said that there are many things from the north."
