Chapter 91 Malaria

After the completion of the preliminary project, most of the Burmese soldiers withdrew, leaving only a small number of guards.After the mining area was taken over by Lao Luo, the mining work started step by step.In contrast, the pebble mines in the river water are easier to collect. After drainage, the river water is only knee-deep, and the emerald mines are enriched. Almost a stone is a starry sky emerald.In order to prevent the leeches, the workers wore high rubber boots to salvage quickly, and the stones went to the shore for the first round of picking.

The selection is Du Ziyu's job, but the selection process is kept confidential according to Du Ziyu's request.Baskets of pebbles were sent to his temporary shack every day, and they were moved out early the next morning, and they were already sorted according to price ranges. If Lao Luo didn't know how to do this, one would think that Du Ziyu was making trouble on purpose. of.However, what he didn't know was that this was the result of Du Ziyu deliberately controlling the recognition speed.

"According to this progress, it may not take three months to dig out the river channel!" When Lao Luo sighed, it was getting late, but the miner's lamp still illuminated the place as if it were day.Workers are digging holes at the several excavation points located by Du Ziyu at the foot of the mountain. In order to catch up with work as much as possible during the dry season, mining operations are indiscriminate.

Du Ziyu lit a fire by the side of the river, burning grass similar to domestic "wormwood" to drive away mosquitoes. The mosquitoes here are active regardless of the seasons, and they are huge. Once bitten, they can swell up to the size of a fist. Bao, it took at least a week for the swelling to go down, and Du Ziyu suffered greatly from it.

"There are a lot of mosquitoes these two days, and it's going to rain heavily." Lao Luo raised his hand to drive away the mosquitoes, and slapped one on his arm to death: "For miners, heavy rain is a good thing. The cave, wash off the sand, and the rest are large pieces of gravel, it will be much easier to dig out and pick jade." He said, lighting a cigarette.The initial stage of mining was the most excruciating. I personally worked as a supervisor for a week. Lao Luo’s eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, he was afraid that he would fall asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. It's raining heavily, and the shack is hot and stuffy, and it's leaking, it's not a place for people to live at all, should you and Brother Shen go back to town to rest for a couple of days?"

Du Ziyu caught a glimpse of a dark cloud in the distance being blown towards them by the evil wind, and shook his head: "Let's go now, maybe it's too late." While speaking, the wind blew stronger, and Lao Luo patted Du Ziyu to let them He went to the shack first, and he called for workers. Some of them came to reinforce the shack so that it would not be blown apart by the strong wind, and the other part picked up the guys and prepared to take advantage of the rain to divert water to fill the hole.

"Is it going to rain?!" At this moment, Xiao Chen and Mr. He also came out of the shack, and twisted lightning flashed above the dark sky. Xiao Chen hurriedly pushed Mr. He back into the tent, and he followed the workers together. Cover the bamboo frame with a tarpaulin, pull the hemp rope to tie the roof of the shack tightly, and fix it to the ground with a steel nail.

While Du Ziyu and Shen Shi were busy working on their shack, they asked Xiao Chen, "Where's Pang Feng?"

"Going to the sentry post!" As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, there were big raindrops. He hammered the steel nails hard, and ran back to the shack in three steps at a time.Lao Luo's workers let out a burst of cheers. The sweltering heat was overwhelmed by the heavy rain. They waved crowbars, pounded the hole rhythmically, and chanted.

The sound of trumpets, thunder, and rainstorms lasted all night. The shack was cold and damp, and a lot of water seeped in. The ground must not be able to sleep. Du Ziyu stood up all night, and the next morning, the rain was not too heavy The trend is that Mr. He has a low fever.

"You have to go back to the town and check for malaria!" Lao Luo paid great attention to He Lao's fever: "You foreigners are not immune, and you are especially prone to malaria. If this disease is really the case, you will die if you delay !"

"I'll take Mr. He back." Pang Feng agreed: "It's raining so hard that the mountain road is hard to walk, Xiao Chen can just follow."

Du Ziyu followed suit and nodded: "Okay, be careful all the way, we will go to town to find you when the rain stops."

So, that morning, Pang Feng withdrew from Savage Valley, and three days had passed since he left, and the rainstorm hadn't abated at all.The water in the river has risen to the waist.Just yesterday, a worker was attacked by leeches in the upper body of the water, and the water and stone mining was forced to stop.

"Water lice were found in the cave." Lao Luo cursed when he entered the shack. He took off his raincoat, which was soaked inside, so he took off his jacket again, and his body was full of marks of mosquito bites: "Damn The water lice in this place are too big! They sting people!" Many of his workers were stung, but fortunately, the water lice are non-toxic.

"Stop work!" Du Ziyu was afraid of killing a mosquito, so he put on a blanket to keep warm: "The Wulu River is also surging, and the roads are heavily flooded. If it rains like this again, we may be locked in the valley and unable to get out. went."

Just as he was talking, the foreman rushed in and said something in Burmese. Even if Du Ziyu couldn't understand, he could tell from Lao Luo's face that something had happened. He frowned, and heard Lao Luo say: "The road into the valley was broken by falling rocks and The trees are closed, the delivery trucks can't get in, and we can't get out."

Just as he was talking, another worker rushed in in a panic. After this man finished speaking, Lao Luo rushed out without saying a word, Du Ziyu subconsciously stood up, followed two steps, and was stopped by Lao Luo: "Don't go! There's an outbreak of malaria among the workers!"

Malaria is a highly prevalent insect-borne disease in the rainforest. It is transmitted by mosquitoes. If it is not treated in time, the mortality rate is very high.But for people like Lao Luo who have been wandering in the rainforest all year round, quinine to treat malaria is a standing drug. After taking quinine, the infected miners were isolated in a shack, regularly disinfected and mosquito-killed, and prepared to wait for the heavy rain Stop and send them back to town for medical attention.

However, after only eight hours, everyone discovered that quinine was ineffective against this sudden malaria outbreak.

"The number of patients has exceeded ten, and we have to send them back immediately." At this point, the excavation of the emerald mine had to be completely stopped, and Lao Luo left only a very small number of on-duty personnel, and everyone else returned to the town immediately: "There is no point in wasting money here if you can't open a mine, and the malaria they suffer from seems to be a new type of virus. It's too dangerous to stay here."

When the car leaves the mining area, it must be inspected by the military at the sentry post. All the mining and shipping volume of rough jadeite needs to be recorded in detail.The sentry opened the truck compartment and began to count the number of original stone baskets according to the list they submitted, then took out a few baskets, opened the tarpaulin, and counted the number of stones inside.

Just as a sentry lifted the tarpaulin, something like a black miasma floated out. The sentry yelled and fired a shot.Du Ziyu and the others hurried over when they heard the sound, and saw a mass of flying insects scatter. Du Ziyu waved his hand to kill a few of them, and there was a mass of black mosquito corpses on the palm of his hand.

"How could there be mosquitoes in the rough stone!" Du Ziyu frowned and helped to throw a handful of mosquito repellent into the carriage. The sentry immediately lit it. Under the smoke, they turned all the rough stones out and shook the burning mosquito repellent on it a few times.Lao Luo also took people into the car and checked the rough stones by basket.There were twenty baskets of rough stones in total, and half of them contained a large number of mosquitoes.

"Damn it! There are insect eggs on these stones!" Lao Luo took a flashlight and took a look. Apart from the raindrops on the black stone surface, there was also a layer of brown mosquito larvae. no difference.As he spoke, he yelled something in Burmese to the Burmese sentinels, and they began to transport the rough stones to the car to kill insects on the spot.

At this time, the other off-road vehicles had already passed, and Lao Luo shouted at Du Ziyu: "You two! Follow the car in front first!"

"Shen Shi, go and replace Lao Luo." Du Ziyu frowned, but did not move. He looked at Shen Shi, who nodded, and immediately walked forward, said something to Lao Luo, and pointed Behind him, Lao Luo immediately looked at him with a dark face for a while, and then rushed towards Du Ziyu angrily.

"Du Ziyu, what's the matter with you! Get in the car!" He pointed to the car waiting for him in front of him: "You foreigners don't have antibodies! How many times have I told you! You two are in danger now, you know?"

You also said that this malaria is a new type of virus, and you are not immune either. "Du Ziyu was not intimidated by Lao Luo's aura at all: "Leave this to Shen Shi, you and I will return to the car and wait." Seeing that Lao Luo refused to move, Du Ziyu said angrily: "We are temporarily suspending work now. If something happens to you, when will we resume work?"Uncle Luo, do you want to give me a pick? "After finishing speaking, he gave Lao Luo a blank look, got into the car by himself, and slammed the door.

Lao Luo froze for a moment, then laughed, and followed him into the car.

"Do you still know how to lose your temper? You boy..." Lao Luo sat up and immediately lit a cigarette. He glanced at Du Ziyu with a cold face, and sighed: "This mining is really fucking evil! "

"Uncle Luo, I have to confess something to you." Du Ziyu looked at the rain pouring from the car window: "When I found out that there was Cui in this place, a soldier was bitten by a leech and had his leg amputated due to infection. We used to suspect that It's the water problem, but the water quality report is normal. But if the mosquitoes that spread malaria are also breeding in this water, I'm wondering..." He said, looking at Lao Luo: "Could it be that there is some kind of malaria in the water? Virus?"

Lao Luo frowned while holding a cigarette, and the two looked at each other, the atmosphere was tense for a while, and there was nothing else to say.After a while, Lao Luo whispered something in Burmese, which sounded like a prayer or something.Du Ziyu also had lingering fears. He looked at the misty rain and fog outside the car window again. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter, and he began to worry about Mr. He.

I hope he is an old man, auspicious person and auspicious person, and a speedy recovery.
