Great Medical System in a Veterinarian-Chapter 542 - 239: Using the X-ray Eye—This Is Ridiculous! The Real Crispy Shark Is Both Fragile and Hard to Kill!
"It’s swollen?"
Wearing her sheer leggings, white athletic shoes paired with white mid-calf socks, Jiang Yinyin glanced at her foot.
She instantly noticed that the top area of her mid-calf sock did indeed seem to have a noticeable bulge.
No wonder she felt like she couldn’t stand up after spraining her ankle just now.
The sprained foot seemed to have lost communication.
"What... what’s going on here??"
She looked at her foot, utterly bewildered.
"I don’t know either? Could it be a fracture?"
Pingping, whose full name is Liu Jiangping, shook her head at this moment.
Both of them are seniors at Chuanshu National University, neither of them are medical students, and they’d never hiked Mount Emei despite being here for four years, so they thought about trekking it this holiday.
Yesterday, starting from Bao Guo Temple, they walked sixteen to seventeen kilometers over six hours to reach Hongchunping, then stayed overnight. Today, they set off at nine, but unexpectedly, less than an hour into the hike, her friend accidentally stepped wrong on a slope and sprained her ankle.
She couldn’t stand up at all.
Liu Jiangping initially found it strange, thinking how could a sprain prevent someone from getting up, but when she looked closely, she was shocked to see that her foot seemed to have something bulging out.
And it was twisted in a bizarre position.
It looked just like a fracture.
She cried out instantly.
"Ah! A fracture!?"
Jiang Yinyin’s face turned pale.
"Young lady, it might really be a fracture. How did you manage to do this?"
Although it’s a national holiday with a lot of people hiking,
there are still relatively few heading from Hongchunping toward Yu Xian Temple or Xiangchi Pool, as many enthusiasts quickly lose interest.
If starting from Bao Guo Temple, it takes at least four hours to get there, even at a fast pace.
It’s about 9:40 now.
Which means they would have to start at 5:30 from Bao Guo Temple to reach here now.
But how many young people can wake up that early?
So most start from Wuxian Ridge.
It takes about two and a half to three hours to walk from Wuxian Ridge to here.
However, many don’t know how to navigate this path well.
Because once they do, there’s no turning back.
Most stop at Qingyin Pavilion or Hongchunping, wander around nearby, and then head back down.
So the path the two of them are on is not that crowded, and you don’t see people jostling, but occasionally some small groups pass by.
One of them, upon taking a look, said,
"I don’t know, I just sprained my ankle."
Jiang Yinyin looked exhausted.
"You have to be careful on these trails."
Spoken by an elderly man.
"Oh, absolutely. Walking like this and spraining an ankle to the point of breaking it, how can bones be more brittle than charcoal."
Three elderly women in hiking gear accompanied him.
They looked at Jiang Yinyin and said unpleasantly.
"We’ll help you to the nearby rock to sit. You should contact someone from the scenic area to help you."
They helped Jiang Yinyin get up and were about to leave.
After all, it’s morning and not evening, and mobile phones have signals.
Plus, they’re not doctors. If something worse were to happen, what would they do? Besides, she has her companion with her, so they helped and then moved on.
They needed to reach the summit before dark.
"Thank you, sir and madam."
Jiang Yinyin thanked them.
"It’s nothing, it’s nothing. You two girls should quickly contact someone. We’ll be on our way."
Then the elderly couple left.
"Sigh... looks like our plan to conquer Mount Emei is ruined, Pingping. I’m holding us back."
Jiang Yinyin said with a helpless expression.
"Alright, alright, with your foot fractured like this, what are you thinking about? Let me check our location and find the phone number for the scenic area to see if anyone can come to help."
Liu Jiangping said at that moment.
Then she opened the phone’s map.
"Ninety-nine Bends, exactly between Hongchunping and Xianfeng Temple."
She quickly assessed the map and surroundings.
"What? Fractured? You’re at Ninety-nine Bends now? An ambulance can’t get up there, so you either head to Thunder Cave Plateau or to Wannian Temple. If you go to Wannian Temple, we can contact the nearest officers at Hongchunping Police Station, and as for carrying a person, we can get a sedan chair to carry the injured person down."
Liu Jiangping immediately made a phone call.
Once connected, the scenic area staff said at once.
Because in this area, the closest police station is Hongchunping Police Station.
"I see, let me check. So, if we have a sedan chair to take her to Wannian Temple, how much would it cost?"
Being a student here, Liu Jiangping knew that sedan chairs aren’t free, so she had to ask about the cost.
"Hello, currently, the basic charging standard in scenic areas for lower altitude and less steep areas is 80 yuan per kilometer. From Ninety-nine Bends to Wannian Temple is 7.5 kilometers, classified as middle-high altitude mountains, with steep stone steps both up and down. Based on the visitor’s weight, the maximum price limit is 240 yuan per kilometer, so it would cost around 1500 yuan for the sedan chair to Wannian Temple."
The staff immediately responded.
"Ah! Fifteen hundred! Let me discuss it with my friend here and call back later, okay?"
Liu Jiangping was taken aback at that.
Although Yinyin’s family is somewhat better off than hers, neither is wealthy. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have stayed in a 50 yuan shared dormitory at Hongchunping last night.
