Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

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, how are you?" Mir stepped forward and asked nervously.

"Everything went well. I stopped the bleeding, sutured, removed the clots and fixed the fracture. He is out of danger." The doctor smiled and nodded to him.

"The next step is to inject him with antibiotics to avoid infection and give him some nutrients to promote wound healing. I will give you the medicine then, and your own doctor should be able to do the next work."

"However, the injured person is still under anesthesia, and the wound has just been sutured, so I suggest it is best to wait until tomorrow to bring the injured person 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 and returned to the dock with the patrol team members.

"It seems that the preparations made before are still very valuable." After all these people left, a smile bloomed on Mr. Scord's face. "Especially being able to save an innocent life."

By the early morning of the next day, the previously injured Little Mir was completely awake. After a brief check 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 in the past two days. This was not because the ship could not sail in such sea conditions, but because it was impossible to use sonar in this situation.

However, Liang En and the others are not in a hurry about being trapped in the harbor. Without finding any clues about the Terror, it doesn't make much sense for them to go to sea now. They might as well rest here and inquire about the situation.

On their third day in the port area, they received an invitation from Mir on behalf of the Inuit people, inviting them to participate in the harvest ceremony and banquet after the whaling ship returned.

"We are here to be guests, so we have to bring some gifts. What gifts do you think would be good?" After receiving the invitation, Scood came to Liang En to discuss the gifts.

After all, he has been in contact with wealthy people for so many years, and the gifts that wealthy people give each other at gatherings 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 refrigerated in our cold storage would be good." Liang En thought for a moment and said.

"In the afternoon, I was in the supermarket and saw that a handful of asparagus was priced at 32.99 Canadian dollars, and 2 liters of 1% fat milk was priced at 7.09 Canadian dollars. The fresh food was ten times that of the mainland, and the milk was also tripled."

The prices in this place are unreasonably high. Although Liang En can understand the rising prices of materials due to remoteness and low temperatures, it can only be said that this is discrimination if the prices are higher than those in cities in the Russian Far East and Siberia that have no airports or roads.

"You're right. We can't finish these things anyway, and they will be wasted if we take them back. It's better to give them away now." After listening to Liang En's words, Scood 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 in China towards the fishing pier on the other side.

"You really spent a lot of money." Mir showed an excited expression after learning about the gifts sent by Liang En and others. Because they really need these things.

Since all local fruits and vegetables are completely unreasonably expensive, the local Inuit people are forced to resort to eating raw materials, drinking blood, and even eating some extremely bad-tasting things to ensure that they obtain the various vitamins their bodies need.

They do this not because they cannot buy vitamin tablets, but because if they cannot obtain vitamins through their daily diet, they need to take medicine only under the guidance of professionals to ensure that the nutrients meet the needs of the human body.

Just like why celebrities can stay healthy by being vegetarians, while most ordinary people will become malnourished if they are vegetarians. This is mainly because there is a team of professional nutritionists between the two parties.

For example, the Inuit's unique food Kiviak, also known as "pickled puffin", is a way for them to use fermentation to obtain vitamins as a last resort.

Although some information boasts that this is a special delicacy, in fact, as long as anyone with a brain thinks about it, they will know what the animal's offal will become after fermenting it for several months or years.

According to people who have eaten this thing, it tastes like Chinese soybean juice, Japanese natto and Swedish canned pickled herring that have been mixed together and then smashed. The smell is stinky. Even more powerful than Oli.

Therefore, the long-lasting fruits and cans given by Liang En and others are quite precious, which is why the other party was so sincere when thanking them.

After some pleasantries, a very small whaling ship sailed in from the open sea despite the wind and waves, and brought back an eight or nine-ton bowhead whale calf.

Unlike industrial whaling in several Nordic countries and Japan, these Inuit whales are just a way to survive in extreme climate conditions. At the same time, their simple hunting does not harm whales. The group caused too much harm.

You must know that the number of whales hunted by the Inuit in the Arctic Circle has remained relatively stable for thousands of years. What really caused a large reduction in whales was commercial whaling after the industrial era.

Under the leadership of several old people, everyone held a brief ceremony around the whale. Although they could not understand the content of the dialect spoken by these people, they could feel a sense of solemnity coming from the depths of their souls. .

After the ceremony, it was time to cut the whale. Then the captain and his family set up a large pot on the dock to boil water, and then cut part of the meat into small pieces the size of two lighters stacked on top of each other and placed them in the water. Go cook.

Due to the harsh local environment, the Inuit are more accustomed to sharing food, so the two or three hundred people present will share the boiled meat until they are full.

Their food distribution has a strict rationing system. The whaling team members and captains pay the most to get the best blubber and whale fins. The remaining fish and meat are distributed to the elderly, children, and clan leaders in order, and then it is everyone's turn. family.

Of course, as distinguished guests who had saved lives and brought precious gifts, Liang En and the others were assigned the same things as the whaling team members and captains.

Liang En was 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 imagined. It had a soft, smooth texture, slightly fishy and greasy.

Although the taste is not very good, the Inuit people not only care about eating enough, but also about supplementing rare vitamins, which is very important for the elderly and children.

This was also a time for everyone to chat, and taking 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 looked for people to inquire about this matter, a lot of information that they didn't know before gradually came to light, and some of it was very valuable to Liang En and the others.
