Chapter 9 Chapter 9
Jimmy looked at the captain, grabbed the right to talk in the central control room, ignored the surprised look of the pilot on duty, and yelled into it.
"Lin Mu, what's wrong?"
Lin Mu didn't answer, he didn't know if the headset had disconnected, or he didn't want to talk to him at all.
At this time, Jimmy saw through the window glass two pilots of the Royal Netherlands Air Force approached and talked to Lin Shu. It seems that he has never seen a transport plane landing in the middle of a small runway like Thal, and it is so smooth and easy.
Lin Mu said a few words to the two Dutchmen, then left the airport frowning, not even sitting in the crew lounge.
Lin Mu didn't call for first aid, so the injury must not be serious.But Jimmy was worried, and even the schedule couldn't get his attention.
He grabbed Ajit's cell phone, turned on the screen in vain, and then watched it go dark—Lin Shu made an emergency landing from Country K, and he didn't even have a local cell phone number in Thar.
The entire city was cut off. Except for the airport and guest houses, which have their own power generation infrastructure, other civilian places cannot even have wifi.
Where is he going to find the captain?How...how was he injured?
Jimmy pulled himself together to arrange the schedule, and promised three times the month-end safety bonus out of his own pocket, and then dismissed everyone.
Looking at the teacup again, the milk tea has long been cold, with a layer of tea leaves floating, shaking.
Just when he was worried, Chen Yan called.
Chen Yan: "What did you tell the reporter?"
Jimmy pretended to be stupid: "What did you say?" He praised Chen Yan's humanitarian spirit in front of the crowd, and now the reporters with good noses probably chased after him to grab the interview materials.
Chen Yan: "5 minutes ago, as soon as a dozen reporters rushed into our tent, they went straight to your friend and chased after him for an interview."
Jimmy: "Which friend of mine?"
Chen Yan: "You brought that friend home!"
Jimmy: "Huh? Who? You mean trees?!"
When Jimmy arrived at the USAA tent, the reporters had dispersed.Some large-scale interview equipment brackets are still in place, waiting for the local porters to transport them back to the guest house.
The tent is still overcrowded, and there is a whole row of hospital beds for chronic patients receiving infusions. Most of them are elderly people who are most afraid of noise.
There is also a row of hospital beds that were injured by the car bomb explosion last month. Some of them had to have their limbs amputated and had just entered the recovery period.
In the bleakness of the hustle and bustle of people and horses, Jimmy caught a glimpse of the forest from a long distance away.
He was well-dressed, with his sleeves rolled up high, and he bent over and knelt on the ground.Except for the blood at the corner of the mouth, it looks like a misplaced magazine cover.
Lin Mu's face was serious, his waist bent lower and lower...until he kissed another person lying on the ground.
Jimmy rushed up in two steps in three steps, but he didn't notice that he hit the corner of a few beds and bruised his knees.
Before he reached the forest, he was patted on the shoulder by someone.
"Hey Tony, your unit also sent you to learn first aid?"
Ji Yuanyuan had just completed a CPR, now she calmed down her breathing, and nodded to him lightly to say hello.
Only then did Jimmy see clearly that what Lin Mu was supporting was a plastic dummy.
The dummy was a male, aged, with blond hair and wearing nothing but swimming underwear.
Everyone else had a real partner, and when it was the captain's turn, it was probably an odd number, so a dummy was pulled out from the USAA warehouse.
In the big tent, besides Ji Yuanyuan, those who learned first aid with Lin Mu also had a few reporters that Jimmy met in the afternoon, totaling more than a dozen people.
Chen Yan announced the dismissal of get out of class, asked the students to rest on the spot for 5 minutes, and pulled Jimmy aside: "First aid in the field, all of them are going to the scene in country K. From now on, we will hold a class every other day here."
Jimmy: "Don't you hate being a teaching assistant the most in London?"
Chen Yan: "Students in London are too wet. In the exam, you have to reach into your clothes and feel your ribs to count the fifth. Help."
Chen Yan shook his head, and continued: "Your friend is very good. You can learn quickly without talking."
Jimmy smiled inwardly, the captain seldom talks nonsense and knows how to do things. I don't know how many people have taken a fancy to him.
Chen Yan: "What are you doing here?"
Jimmy: "Go to class, I am eager to learn."
Chen Yan: "Don't talk nonsense. Didn't you pass the field first aid test three years ago?"
Chen Yan didn't allow him to refuse and made up the knife: "I only passed the exam three times, don't tell me you don't remember."
At the end of the break, Chen Yan blew the whistle to call the students back to the tent.
Before Lin Mu could reach his dummy partner, he was grabbed by the arm and dragged to the corner of the tent.
"Compatriots in China, let me make a calculation, you are a lone star—I want to ward off evil spirits and you need me." Lin Muben wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but saw Jimmy smiling with eight teeth, so he had to silently agree.
In this class, Chen Yan was only a teaching assistant, and the lecturer was Pete, the general manager of the American Aid Association in Thal.
Pete is an American, his hair is all white, and his blue eyes shine wisely behind the lenses, which reminds Jimmy of the headmaster Dumbledore in Harry Potter.
Pete led everyone to review the "Golden Triangle" of field first aid on the whiteboard - first judge whether the environment is safe, then judge whether the patient's life is in danger, and finally start rescue.
What is excluded from this triangle is that when the environment is not safe, rescuers must give priority to their own lives, only rescue patients who are likely to survive, and abandon others.
Pete winked at Jimmy when he finished speaking.
Jimmy had known him since he came to Tar three years ago.
At that time, he was beaten by rebel workers at the Chen Capital Power Station, and his eyes were bleeding.The sky and the desert turned red, and Chen Yan took him to the tent of the American Aid Association for first aid, but there was not enough analgesics.
Seeing that he was too nervous, Pete turned on the phone and played the NBC daily news in the cache.
He said don't listen to it as news, these are actually TV dramas.American politicians are actors.
Jimmy came back to his senses, Pete had asked them to start a simulated rescue in pairs, and each group needed to choose one person to play the role of the injured first.
Jimmy: "You do."
The captain raised an eyebrow.
Jimmy wiped the blood off his lips with his hand, and wiped it on his brand-new snow-white robe without hesitation.
Then Jimmy pouted, indicating that it was clear who the wounded were.
The captain didn't argue any more, and turned to Pete, preparing to play the role of the wounded in this round of simulated rescue.
Pete would draw some hidden wounds on each wounded with a marker, and then pour fake blood from a bottle to test the response speed and quality of the rescuers.
The most important and often missed step in field rescue is to check all the arteries and vessels of the injured person's body for bleeding.Many times covert arterial bleeding can lead directly to death in the wild.
When Jimmy heard Pete blowing the whistle to start a simulated rescue, he ran all the way with the first aid kit on his back, and was the first to find the captain in the sand—he was bent over the ground according to the difficult cases drawn by lottery, looking lifeless.His handsome side face was covered with sand, making him look exhausted.
And Jimmy's task is to inspect and rescue the injured, and try his best to judge the cause of the injury and the prognosis of the injured under the field conditions.
"Hi, I'm Jimmy, I'm a professionally trained wildland responder. I'm here to save you. Can you hear me?"
Kneeling beside the captain, he slowly rolled him over in a spine-free position at first, allowing him to breathe easily.
The captain did not reply, indicating that he was in a coma, but his breathing and heartbeat were still there. Jimmy suspected that he was comatose due to a concussion caused by trauma, but he didn't see a drop of blood on his head, which made him suspect that the case in front of him might have other injuries on his body.
"What's your name?" No response.
Jimmy put a finger on the captain's outstretched palm: "Make a fist if you can hear me." Still no response.
Jimmy put his hand on the captain's upper arm and squeezed it, which is the way to check the pain response of the injured who has no verbal response.
Fortunately, the captain responded this time.
Jimmy immediately started the next step according to the training.He stroked his hands neatly on the captain's neck—there was no bleeding from the aorta.
Then he pulled down the zipper of the captain's jacket and checked it against time, but found no bleeding.Then armpits, inner elbows—no bleeding.
Finally, he found the injury mark and fake blood drawn by Pete on the captain's left forearm, and immediately took out the bandage and began to bandage it skillfully.
Too bad, Jimmy thought to himself, he hasn't touched enough.
The captain actually had a string of tattoos on his wrist.It seems that several stars are connected together precisely and gently by a thread.
"Are you awake?" Jimmy finally opened his eyes when he saw the patient actor.
"I... where is this?"
The script that the captain got was that a desert jeep had a car accident, left wrist fracture and moderate concussion injury.The diagnostic criteria for a moderate concussion is short-term loss of consciousness with mild degenerative memory loss.
Unexpectedly, Jimmy seized the opportunity and grabbed his hand, and began to speak with great emotion: "You met a bad guy and got knocked out on the way to elope with me. Fortunately, I found you in time—don't believe it, Look at the white clothes I'm wearing just to be with you..."
But Jimmy's clothes were already dirty, stained with blood, and were no longer pure white.
Pete blew the whistle, the simulated rescue was over, the captain ignored him, sat on the ground and unwrapped the bandages one by one in silence, wrapped them up again and again, and put them back into the teaching first aid kit.
Finally, he said, "It's your turn."
Jimmy happily went to Pete to get the wound.
Pete has a kind face like a professor, and he likes to joke, which caused many old people in the tent to laugh.When he was in his thirties, he had just become a resident at a hospital in Boston that was nationally known for its cardiology and cancer treatments, when he suddenly resigned and came to the three southern countries.
It has been more than 30 years today, and he doesn't remember what the airport on the east coast of the United States looks like, but he knows which restaurant in Tal has the most authentic yogurt.
He said that the work in the three southern countries taught him a lot, such as driving a donkey cart to transport patients, such as digging ice cubes from snow-capped mountains and lakes to cool patients.
Pete held a can of notes for Jimmy to draw, but he didn't expect to win the lottery.
Jimmy was lying on his back on the warm ground, his heart beating so hard that it was about to jump out of his chest.
He wanted to play dead, but when he thought of the captain, he couldn't help himself.
The light in the tent was dim, and he remembered that they were in the Blue Velvet Bar, and he watched the captain play a game of pinball with his head down seriously.
It was also on the rooftop there, drenched in the rain, the captain held his waist with one hand, and seriously said "it's even".
He closed his eyes and thought, thinking, and suddenly felt that the sun was shining brightly on his face.He opened his eyes and saw that the captain opened the tent to save him.
The captain strode up to him and knelt down neatly.
"My name is Lin Mu. I'm a professionally trained wilderness first responder. I'm here to save you."
No one jumps in line or waits in line to land, no one owes anyone more or less, no life is in danger, no family worries and country hatred, he just needs to lie on the ground, and his eyes will be full of sunshine.
After living with the horrible joke six years ago, finally brushing his hair.
The captain left a cotton candy-like soft texture on Jimmy's neck, and since he didn't touch his carotid artery for a while, he leaned over his chest and carefully counted his heartbeat.
Heart skipped a beat.Seems like Christmas has come early.
He smiled like a Pikachu who saw Ash.
The captain patted his forehead: "Aren't you unconscious?"
Jimmy: "No..."
Captain: "Are you unconscious and then awake, or are you not unconscious at all?"
He needs a piece of paper to perfectly record his condition and test his knowledge of first aid in the wild.
But Jimmy just fell back to the ground with his arms and legs wide open.
Jimmy: "I wasn't unconscious. I fainted when I saw you."
captain:"……"
Time is running out, and Pete starts a 2-minute countdown.The captain quickly checked the arterial bleeding in the upper body, and measured the blood pressure again to rule out the possibility of internal bleeding.
But the injury of the wounded patient on the ground was still not found.
The captain roughly tossed off his white robe, and reached his hand from the waistband of his trousers to the heel of his thigh.
Jimmy gave a solid shake, turned his face away without saying a word.He didn't know whether he was blushing or was sunburned.
The captain touched a place, and he moved silently.
"Hey, take it easy."
The captain took his hand back and saw that it was covered with fake blood paint. He didn't care to wipe it off, so he took out the tourniquet from the first aid kit.Aortic bleeding is one of the most dangerous situations in true wilderness first aid.
It took the captain less than half a minute to put the tourniquet on, bit a gap in the bandage with his teeth, and pulled it off, just before Pete blew his whistle.
As soon as the whistle blew, the other teams in the tent slapped their butts and left.
During the retreat, an injured patient who was selected to act as a fracture case was picked up horizontally by his teammates and walked away all the way.
Only Jimmy fell to the ground, continuing to look miserable.
Jimmy: "I'm probably knocking my lungs."
The captain frowned: "This is a case in the snow, how did you knock your lungs in the snow?"
Jimmy: "I can't stand up, ouch, I might be allergic."
Captain: "Allergic to snow?"
Jimmy: "Can you have a better attitude? I'm your patient..."
Captain: "Are you alright? Get up quickly so I can wash my hands and clean up the mat."
Jimmy: "My leg is broken and I can't stand up. If you can, wipe my face."
After he finished speaking, he gave up on himself and closed his eyes, thinking that he would get up slowly after the captain walked away.
Unexpectedly, the captain stretched out his hand, and the fake blood was smeared all over Jimmy's right face, forming a bloody handprint.
Then he let out a breath, leaned over in front of Jimmy, and used a standard rescue gesture to pick him up from the ground and into his arms with the aim of not causing secondary damage to the spine.
Lin Mu hugged him to the nearest hospital bed, let go of him two centimeters away from the bed, and let him land vertically.
The captain walked away after finishing these tasks, leaving only Jimmy shouting behind: "Lin Mu, you are detained!"
Lin Shu suddenly stopped by the tent.The afterglow of the setting sun hit his face, without explanation, as if the whole world was full of kindness.He is so handsome and straight, silent but comfortable.
Then Jimmy followed his line of sight and saw the TV in the opposite tent. The screen was small, and it was already crowded with people from three circles inside and three circles outside.
He saw the wreckage of the pagoda, saw the crying girl holding the baby on the street, saw the airport control tower fall down in slow motion, and everything Lin Shu knew about Country K was wiped out.
Literally, really, blown away.
Lin Mu suddenly turned his head, as if he was looking for something.Then he found Jimmy.
The usually calm captain showed some confusion between his brows and eyes, and he murmured a few times before he finished:
"You may not know..."
"The capital of country K, Saltwater City..."
"When summer comes..."
"The smell of bergamot all over the street."
At the end of the day, Jimmy sent the captain back to the guest house.
After the aftershock that set a world record in K country, more reporters poured in—even the reporters sleeping on the sofa in the lobby were long | short-sighted reporters.
And his wifi-rich home was temporarily handed over to an information rescue agency, with maps of the major regions of country K plastered from the ceiling to the floor.
Jimmy: "Come with me."
Captain: "Didn't you just say that eight people and two dogs live in your house?"
Jimmy: "I have another house."
The captain raised an eyebrow.
Jimmy: "The local tyrants who mine have their own homes."
