Chapter 376 Rescue and News
After more than an hour, the doctor who looked a little tired came out, but judging from the smile under the mask he took off, there should be no problem.
"Doctor, what's the matter?" Mir asked nervously.
"Everything went well. I stopped the bleeding, sutured him, removed the coagulated blood clot and fixed the fracture. He is out of danger." The doctor smiled and nodded to him.
"Then just inject him with antibiotics to avoid infection, and give him some nutrition to promote wound healing. I will give you the medicine when the time comes, and your own doctor should be able to do the next work."
"However, the wounded is still under anesthesia, and the wound has just been sutured, so I suggest that it is best to wait until tomorrow to bring the wounded back to the hospital."
"Thank you, thank you so much." After listening to the doctor's words, Mir bowed desperately to everyone present, and then left the ship with the patrol team and returned to the pier.
"It seems that the preparations made before are still very valuable." After all these people left, a smile bloomed on Mr. Scudder's face. "Especially to save an innocent life."
In the early morning of the next day, Mir, who had been injured before, woke up completely. After a simple examination to confirm that he was in good condition, everyone sent him back to the hospital, along with the medicines he needed.
Because of the strong wind and waves, Liang En and the others were unable to continue their journey for the past two days. This was not because the ship could not navigate in this sea condition, but because it was impossible to use sonar in this situation.
However, Liang En and the others were not in a hurry about being trapped in the harbor. It would be pointless for them to go to sea without finding any clues about the Terror, so they might as well take a rest here and inquire about the situation by the way.
On the third day they stayed in the port area, they received an invitation from Mir on behalf of the Inuit, inviting them to participate in the harvest ceremony and banquet after the return of the whaling ship.
"We're visiting here as guests. We have to bring some gifts. What do you think is a good gift?" After receiving the invitation, Scudder went to Liang En to discuss matters related to gifts.
After all, he has been in contact with rich people for so many years, and the gifts that those rich people give each other when they gather are definitely not suitable for these Inuit people at this time.
"Let's give some practical gifts. For example, I think the fruits and vegetables in our cold storage would be good." Liang En thought for a while and said.
"In the afternoon, I saw in the supermarket that a handful of asparagus costs 32.99 Canadian dollars, and 2 liters of 1% fat milk is priced at 7.09 Canadian dollars. The price of fresh food is ten times that of the inland, and the milk has also doubled."
The high prices in this place are unreasonable. Although Liang En can understand the increase in the price of supplies due to the remoteness and low temperature, but the price is higher than those cities in the Russian Far East and Siberia without airports and roads. It can only be said that this is discrimination.
"You're right. Anyway, we can't finish these things. It would be a waste to take them back. It's better to give them away now." After hearing Liang En's words, Scudder quickly made a decision.
So at noon, a group of 15 of them used two trolleys on the boat to push five boxes of lemons, five boxes of oranges, and ten boxes of various canned fruits and vegetables produced by Huaxia towards the fishery pier on the other side.
"You guys are really wasting money." Mill showed an excited expression after learning about the gift from Liang En and the others.Because they really need these things.
Because all local vegetables and fruits are completely unreasonably expensive, the local Inuit people have to resort to drinking blood, or even eating some extremely bad-tasting things to ensure the acquisition of various vitamins needed by the body.
They do this not because they can't buy vitamin tablets, but if they can't get vitamins through their daily diet, they need to take medicine under the guidance of professionals to ensure that the nutrients meet the needs of the human body.
Just like why celebrities can keep their bodies healthy by being vegetarian, but most ordinary people will suffer from malnutrition if they are vegetarian. This is mainly because there is a professional nutritionist team between the two parties.
For example, the unique Inuit food Kiviak (Kiviak), also known as "pickled puffin", belongs to the means by which they use fermentation to obtain vitamins when they have to.
Although some materials boast that this is a special delicacy, in fact, as long as a person with a brain thinks about it, he will know what fermenting the internal organs of animals for several months and years will turn into.
According to people who have eaten this thing, this thing tastes like Chinese soybean juice, Japanese natto and Swedish canned pickled herring mixed together and then crushed. It's even faster than Ollie.
So the long-preserved fruits and canned food that Liang En and the others sent were quite precious, that's why the other party was so sincere when thanking them.
After exchanging pleasantries, a very small whaling ship braved the wind and waves and sailed in from the open sea, bringing back an eight or nine-ton bowhead calf at the same time.
Unlike the industrialized whaling in several Nordic countries and Japan, these Inuit whaling is just a way of surviving under extreme climatic conditions. At the same time, their simple hunting is not harmful to whales. Groups can cause too much harm.
You must know that the number of whaling by the Inuit people in the Arctic Circle has maintained a relatively stable number for thousands of years. It is the commercial whaling after the industrial age that has really reduced the number of whales.
Under the leadership of several old people, everyone held a brief ceremony around the whale. Although they couldn't understand what these people were saying in the native language, they could feel a sense of solemnity from the depths of their souls. .
After the ceremony was over, it was time to cut the whale. Then the captain and his family set up a large pot on the pier to boil water on the pier, and then cut a part of the meat into small pieces the size of two lighters stacked together and put them in the water. to cook.
Due to the harsh local environment, the Inuit people are more used to sharing food, so the two 300 people present will share the boiled meat until they are full.
Their food distribution has a complete set of strict rationing system. Whaling team members and captains pay the most to get the best blubber and fins, and the rest of the fish are allocated to the elderly, children, and patriarchs in order, and then it is each turn. family.
Of course, as distinguished guests who saved lives and brought precious gifts, Liang En and the others were assigned the same things as those whaling crew and captains.
Liang En felt a little excited when he tasted this rare food for the first time, but after taking a bite, he felt that the blubber meat was not as delicious as he had imagined. It was soft and smooth, slightly fishy and greasy.
Although the taste is not very good, the Inuit people not only care about being full, but also supplementing rare vitamins, which is very important for the elderly and children.
This was also the time for everyone to chat, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Liang En and the others asked the people around them for clues about the shipwreck on the west coast of King William Island.
As they each found someone to inquire about this aspect, a lot of news that they didn't know before gradually surfaced, and some of the news was very valuable to Liang En and the others.
