Snow blindness is no small thing.
He Siwei wiped the corners of his eyes upward, and then noticed that Tang Shuang was also wiping his eyes. Hu Juan, who was sawing not far away, had red eyes, and her face changed drastically as time went by. He threw the child down and called Sun Xianghong loudly.
"Sun Zhiqing, everyone must return to the shack immediately."
Her expression was wrong and her voice was loud. Sun Xianghong realized what had happened, and she called Zhao Yongmei and Hu Juan to stop.
At the same time, he immediately walked to He Siwei and asked, "What happened?"
"Snow blindness, eyes."
He Siwei's eyes were crying, and he could guess that they were very red even without looking.
After being reminded by her, Sun Xianghong noticed that He Siwei's eyes were as red as rabbits. It was only after a while that she figured out what He Siwei's "snow blindness" meant.
After living in Beidahuang for six years, how could Sun Xianghong not know what things he should pay attention to in winter.
But after going up the mountain, there were so many things going on these days, Sun Xianghong had long forgotten about the snow blindness.
This was like a slap in the face.
Not only Sun Xianghong, but also the other three people present suddenly remembered this matter. They stopped what they were doing and looked at He Siwei.
When Sun Xianghong noticed this scene, his heart tightened, and He Siwei took the advantage.
She said, "Take the saw, put everything else down, and go into the shack."
Eyes are a big deal, and some people have become blind because of snow pricking their eyes. Before Sun Xianghong finished speaking, several people started to move.
On the way back to the camp, Zhao Yongmei said to her, "I wonder how the situation is on the mountain?"
"I'm afraid the situation is worse than us." Sun Xianghong said worriedly, "I hope it's not the situation we thought."
The five people returned to the tent, and their eyes became tearful and stinging. It was related to the eyes. When we first arrived here, we heard that this happened. They all used cold compresses on their eyes to relieve congestion.
Everyone is busy with their own business, and He Siwei's situation is not too serious. She wears a hat every day when she goes out, and wraps a scarf around the hat. After she goes out to breathe, thick white frost forms on her eyelashes, and the white frost blocks a lot of the eyelashes. The light was low, and she had to bend down when picking and chopping firewood, so among the five people, her symptoms were the mildest.
She felt that one overnight stay would relieve her symptoms.
She took off the dirty clothes outside and was about to go to the bunk when Sun Xianghong came over and said, "He Siwei, please check it for everyone."
He Siwei said yes and sat down to put on his shoes again.
When Sun Xianghong left, his eyes glanced at her woolen socks, and finally fell on Mian's rubber shoes.
The cotton shoes that everyone wears are all made by themselves. Not to mention the high price of cotton rubber shoes, many people are reluctant to buy them. Even if they want to buy them, they cannot be bought here in Beidahuang.
Marketable but priceless.
Just like a green military uniform, many people have to borrow it from others before they can wear it when they get married.
But these things seemed to be commonplace for He Siwei.
He Siwei checked everyone, and finally came to Sun Xianghong's place. After checking it, he said, "It needs to be raised for two days, and it can't be stung by snow again, otherwise it will become inflamed."
Among the five people, Sun Xianghong's condition was the most serious.
Sun Xianghong said, "It's been three days of blowing smoke cannons, and now I have to rest my eyes for a few days. It's not enough for the task to be delayed like this."
This is not easy to say.
If she says it's okay and her body is important, then she is lowering her consciousness.
She said she shouldn't take a rest, which made her seem unkind.
So no matter how you answer the call, it will have a negative impact on yourself.
He Siwei was really tired of Sun Xianghong's way of always stepping down on others and promoting himself, so he pretended not to hear and went back to his shop.
She didn't answer Sun Xianghong's words, and Sun Xianghong felt unhappy and couldn't tell others about it. After all, what she said had dug a hole. If she said it herself, no matter how stupid others were, they would be able to tell that what she said was wrong.
After several contacts, He Siwei had already made up his mind. He would not bow his head or flatter Sun Xianghong. He would live a new life. He never thought about standing out, but he also never thought about wronging himself.
Fortunately, Sun Xianghong was also a smart person, and her appearance was impeccable, so everyone didn't really get to the point of breaking up.
Everyone was resting in the shack. Sun Xianghong was never idle. She went in and out from time to time, bringing back a lot of snow in a basin and turning it into water for cooking.
While she was working, it was hard for everyone to stay and had to get up.
Sun Xianghong also said, "You all have a rest, and I will do it slowly by myself. It's still early before the men come back for dinner, so don't be in a hurry to cook."
There is really no rush to cook.
He Siwei thought the same thing. She didn't follow Zhao Yongmei's example and just stayed on the bunk. Tang Shuang originally put on shoes and went to the ground. When she saw He Siwei lying down obediently and not moving, she thought for a moment. He also sat back on the bunk.
He picked up the needle and thread he had just put down and said, "Okay, just call us if you have any work."
What we eat in the evening is cornstarch batter. After filling the ladles in the oil bucket, no one is needed. Just boil water in the pot. The cornstarch noodles are also mixed into a juice with cold water. When the male workers come back, pour the prepared cornstarch noodles juice. Just put it in hot water and slowly stir it.
After Zhao Yongmei and Hu Juan finished filling the snow in basins, they returned to the bunk bed when they saw that it was no longer alive.
The pain in their eyes was severe, so the two of them lay on the bed with their eyes closed and rested, without mending their clothes.
He Siwei did not get into bed, but spread the quilt under him and covered himself with a cotton coat. He fell asleep in a daze, but felt that he was not listening. He faintly heard Sun Xianghong and others talking in the shack. I wonder if it was them. Lowering her voice, she still fell asleep.
It wasn't until Tang Shuang pushed her awake and she opened her eyes suddenly that she woke up.
"The male employees came back early. It seems that the situation is not good. Sun Zhiqing and the others have already gone out."
Before Tang Shuang finished speaking, Sun Xianghong raised the straw curtain door of the shack and said, "He Siwei, come out quickly. The male workers have some serious eyes."
She came in with a cold breeze, and He Siwei was completely refreshed.
Put on the shoes, put on the coat, and went out.
It was the first time she entered the male employee's tent. The stove inside had just been lit and the fire was not strong. The tent was as cold as outside. There were many people living inside, and there was an unpleasant smell that hit her nostrils as soon as she entered the tent.
A flashlight was handed to her, "Use this to see more clearly."
He Siwei nodded when he saw it was Wang Jianguo.
Before she could say anything, Sun Xianghong came over and took the flashlight, "Siwei, I'll help you with the flashlight, and you come and check."
After that, he turned to Wang Jianguo and said, "Director Wang, please arrange for everyone to line up so that the inspection can be faster. Everyone's eye condition is good or bad. If you know it earlier, you can deal with it earlier."
Wang Guodong turned around and called everyone to get up and line up.
The tent immediately became noisy. There were fifteen or six people living in one tent, and they lined up one after another, and lined up in front of He Siwei.
He Siwei was not pretentious and took the time to check one by one. After checking this tent, male staff from other tents came over. After more than 60 people had finished checking, more than two hours had passed.
