After the divorce, he settled in Northwest China and became a Shennong (a legendary Chinese farmer).

Chapter 0090 Rescue, Veterinarians are also doctors

The rain came quickly and went quickly.

The ground was slippery after the rain, but fortunately Gu Tong possessed the proficient skill [Riding], allowing him to become one with his horse and quickly reach the outside of Xiaodonggou Canyon.

"Hoo..."

Gu Tong tightened the reins, and the chestnut horse reared up on its forelegs and came to a sudden stop.

Although the heavy rain has stopped, the massive instantaneous rainfall caused a flash flood in the canyon, completely destroying the original path.

The valley was full of rocks, branches, rotten wood and silt, making it impossible for even the best rider to travel.

He could only dismount and lead the chestnut horse forward with difficulty.

He took a full 30 minutes to cross the canyon, which he could usually traverse easily in ten minutes on horseback.

This is because his physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people. If it were Ai Kebai, it would take at least an hour.

Then he saw Diar and Chen Ye waiting on the other side of the canyon. The two had been waiting for a long time, and finally the rescuers arrived.

"Brother Gu, are you all alone?"

The two looked behind Gu Tong, but after a long time they didn't see anyone else, and their joy gradually faded.

Dial asked again, unwilling to give up, and Chen Ye's expression became even more serious.

"I've come to check first; the village's rescue team will be here soon. Don't just stand there, take me to see the injured."

Gu Tong could roughly guess what the two were thinking, and then told them about Ilyas's arrangements, after which the two breathed a long sigh of relief.

The three then headed straight for the pasture halfway up the mountain. They had met there that morning, but who would have thought that their reunion would be like this?

Two injured research team members were lying on the wet grass, with waterproof sheets under them and the makeshift rain shelter still above them.

Diar recounted their previous experience. The scientific expedition had been going smoothly, and everyone had already embarked on their journey home when a sudden downpour plunged the team into trouble.

To escape the flash flood, one team member broke his right leg, and another twisted his back; it was truly a double whammy.

"Don't move, let me take a look."

After listening to Chen Ye's introduction, Gu Tong breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As long as there is no immediate danger to their lives, it's fine. Once the injured are sent to the county, whether they are treated at the county hospital or transferred to Yiwu City, there will be no problem.

"Ahem, Mr. Gu, have you studied medicine?"

Seeing that Gu Tong was about to make a move, Chen Ye couldn't help but ask.

He was grateful that the other party came to his rescue, but treating and saving lives is no joke; it could easily lead to serious trouble.

When he saw Gu Tong in the morning, the other party was still a herdsman riding a horse and tending his livestock. In the blink of an eye, he dared to treat patients? Such a contrast would be unbearable for anyone.

"I haven't studied medicine, but I know veterinary medicine."

Gu Tong helplessly spread her hands, not knowing how to explain.

He possesses the "Veterinary Basics" manual, making him a qualified veterinarian, but he certainly doesn't know how to treat people.

"You... Mr. Gu is really humorous."

Chen Ye was amused. He couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh, thinking about how the person had come to help him covered in water and mud.

"Captain Chen, you can just call me Gu Tong. Let me make it clear first, I don't intend to treat the wounded, but based on my veterinary knowledge, I believe both of them should be immobilized to prevent further injury during the journey."

Gu Tong realized that the other party might have misunderstood, so she quickly offered an explanation.

He could have easily stood by and done nothing, but reason told him that if he didn't intervene, something might happen to the two wounded men during transport.

To put it bluntly, veterinarians are doctors too. When it comes to simple bone injuries, what's the difference between humans and animals? It's simply a matter of immobilizing the bone first, and then waiting until the animal is safely transported to the hospital for further treatment.

"Alright then, please take care of it, and then everyone should leave as soon as possible."

Chen Ye fell silent, because what the other party said made sense, and the group couldn't stay here indefinitely.

As long as we can safely lead the wounded out of the canyon, everything else will be easier.

So he gritted his teeth and agreed to let Gu Tong do it.

Without further ado, Gu Tong quickly checked the condition of the two wounded.

The patient with the leg fracture had no other serious injuries; the minor abrasions were insignificant. So he made a simple splint to immobilize the fracture site and the joints above and below it.

Patients with lumbar sprains experience severe pain, accompanied by numbness in their limbs.

He had a bad feeling; the injured person might have a lumbar spine injury.

"He has a back problem, and the injured man has a fractured right shinbone; they both need to be transported on a stiff stretcher. Don't move them yet. Village Chief Ilyas has already sent a rescue team over. Let's wait patiently for a while; I'll make a call to them."

That was all Gu Tong could do. He gave Chen Ye instructions and then went to the side to make a phone call.

It's getting late now, and it will be even more troublesome if we wait until it's completely dark around 10 o'clock.

The call connected quickly, and he said loudly, "Old village chief, the injured are in alright, but they need two sturdy stretchers. Where are the rescue teams? You'd better ask them to hurry."

"We're almost at the entrance to Xiaodonggou Canyon. We've brought the hard stretcher you mentioned, so please don't worry."

Ilyas said that the county and township governments are taking this matter very seriously, and the county hospital's ambulance had already set off and would be arriving soon.

Gu Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief and then told Chen Ye and the others the news.

The expedition team cheered; their journey to Xiaodonggou, fraught with twists and turns, was finally nearing its end.

An hour later, the rescue team arrived at the scene.

Under Gu Tong's direction, the group of four moved the wounded, which showed great professionalism.

Gu Tong and the others took turns carrying the injured out of the canyon. They saw two ambulances and the van the research team had arrived in by the roadside.

After the two injured men were put into the ambulance, they kept expressing their gratitude to Gu Tong.

Despite being a veterinarian, the ambulance doctor said that Gu Tong handled the situation well and commanded effectively, preventing secondary injury to the injured person.

"Gu Tong, I want to apologize to you. I shouldn't have doubted your abilities. Thanks to you, the two wounded soldiers were able to safely get out of the mountains this time. Let's add each other as friends and keep in touch."

Chen Ye readily apologized to Gu Tong and remembered the favor.

Gu Tong added the other person as a friend. He is now very interested in the Western Regions purple gromwell and plans to have a good chat with the expedition team later.

But the timing is clearly wrong now.

After the ambulance and the van drove away, Ilyas, Gu Tong, and the others rode away on horseback.

"Good job, Xiao Gu! You truly are a worthy member of the Nasu people."

"Old village chief, you don't need to praise me. Anyone would have helped in this situation."

Gu Tong and Ilyas walked and talked until they parted ways at a fork in the road.

Back home, Little Stone lay on the ground, not wanting to move at all. Although it hadn't played a significant role in the previous rescue, Little Stone was always Gu Tong's last resort, and she still had to rely on it in crucial moments.

The chestnut horse was also very tired, and kept rubbing against his shoulder in the yard.

Gu Tong then rinsed the chestnut horse and the little stone, took a bath himself, and then fed the horse and the dog a hearty meal.
