Chapter 1646
At noon, most people had gone home for lunch. There were not many idle people on the street. Except for the last few customers, there were only a few passers-by who stopped and looked at them curiously. They felt that it was nothing serious and left.
Some of the customers were familiar with Zhang Zian, but they didn't know what the relationship between Zhang Zian and welder Zhao was. They thought that welder Zhao was hired by Zhang Zian to work, so they kindly reminded him,""Manager Zhang, are you trying to extort us?"
Society was very complicated, and they were reminding him out of good intentions.
First of all, welder Zhao was stingy, and everyone knew that he would occasionally take advantage of others, but he didn't seem like the kind of person who would do that. In addition, if his acting skills could reach this level, it would be a waste of talent to use it to blackmail people.
The paleness of his face and the constant sweating could not be faked.
Electrician Wu was also very anxious, and he was sweating profusely.
Zhang Zian walked over to welder Zhao and squatted down. He asked,""Master Zhao, what's wrong? Do you need me to send you to the hospital? Or should I call an ambulance for you?"
Welder Zhao gritted his teeth and waved his hand with great effort.
Zhang Zian was most worried that he would have a heart attack, but after some observation, he found that he did not cover his chest or heart with his hands, so it should not be a particularly urgent condition.
After a while, the pain seemed to have subsided a little. Welder Zhao said weakly,""I'm fine ... I'm fine. There's no need to call the ambulance ... I might have a heat stroke. Let me sit down and rest for a while ..."
Heat stroke?
It was windy yesterday, and it wasn't today, so the air was still a little stuffy. In addition, welder Zhao and electrician Wu were both wearing long-sleeved and long-sleeved canvas work clothes. They were busy going back and forth between the ground and the roof, sawing wood and moving materials. It was indeed possible for them to get a heat stroke.
The back of the two workers 'overalls was wet with sweat. Master Zhao's entire back was wet, but it was unclear how much of it was from work and how much was from exhaustion.
Even at the end of summer, it was normal to get a heatstroke, so Zhang Zian asked Wang Qian to go to the nearby pharmacy to buy some huoxiang zhengqi water.
In addition to the possibility of a heat stroke, this situation was also similar to sudden hypoglycemia. Zhang Zian saw that welder Zhao's condition had stabilized, so he quietly waved to electrician Wu and called him to the side.
"Master Wu, does master Zhao have diabetes?" Zhang Zian whispered.
"No, I didn 't,"
Electrician Wu shook his head firmly.
The two of them were old friends, old colleagues, and their families were familiar with each other. An illness like diabetes wasn't hard to hide, so once they got it, they wouldn't hide it. Zhang Zian believed in electrician Wu, but it was also possible that welder Zhao had diabetes without knowing it.
"Has he had a physical examination recently?" Zhang Zian asked again.
"I took a medical examination for a retired employee in March." Electrician Wu answered.
It was March. It had been almost half a year.
"How are the results of the physical examination? Is everything normal?" Zhang Zian asked.
Electrician Wu smiled bitterly."We're already half-dead. Which body doesn't have some minor problems? "Let's not talk about the three high schools, almost everyone has it. As long as they're not tested for cancer, they don't care about other small problems. They just eat and drink as they should. Even if they avoid eating, how many more years can they live?"
That's true. How many retired people in their 60s and 70s are completely healthy? One in a hundred.
Not to mention the middle-aged and elderly, even the young people in their 20s and 30s nowadays, how many of them dared to say that they were completely healthy?
"Then you also think that master Zhao suffered a heat stroke?" Zhang Zian asked for his opinion.
Electrician Wu hesitated for a moment before he nodded slowly.""Old Zhao's body used to be quite strong, and I've never heard of him getting a heat stroke. But he's old, after all, and can't be compared to when he was young, don't you think? I've had a heat stroke before, and the symptoms are quite similar to this. I felt dizzy and couldn't stand steadily. As I spoke, my legs went soft and I fell to the ground. "
Zhang Zian pondered and didn't answer.
At that moment, Wang Qian came back from the medicine shop with huoxiang zhengqi water.
Electrician Wu thanked him and walked back to help welder Zhao drink the medicine.
Zhang Zian asked Lu Yiyun to make a glass of sugar water and let welder Zhao drink it too. One reason was to wash away the bitterness of the huoxiang zhengqi water in his mouth, and the other was to prevent hypoglycemia.
Welder Zhao rested on the spot for a while. His symptoms seemed to be relieved, and he struggled to stand up and continue working.
"I'm fine, hehe, this medicine is quite effective ... Hurry up and finish the work. We still have to go to the restaurant for lunch ..." As soon as welder Zhao stood up, his body staggered. Fortunately, electrician Wu was next to him and helped him.
Electrician Wu complained,"old Zhao!" Go home and rest for today. Let sister-in-law make a pot of porridge. Don't go out and eat those greasy things. You won't lose anything by taking two bottles of wine with you!"
Zhang Zian definitely couldn't let welder Zhao continue working today. If something really happened, who could bear the responsibility?
Welder Zhao, however, insisted that he was fine. He said that he might be hungry and that he would finish his work after lunch.
Famous was also crowding at the entrance of the shop to watch the commotion. It had a keen sense of smell, and at this moment, it vaguely smelled a faint odor, so it leaned closer to welder Zhao.
Welder Zhao wasn't tall. When he lowered his hand, his palm was almost at the same height as famous's head.
Famous sniffed carefully and finally confirmed that the source of the smell was welder Zhao's palm.
It called Zhang Zian to the side and whispered its discovery.
"What? There's a rotten smell?" Zhang Zian was shocked."Are you saying that welder Zhao's hand is rotting?"
"No, I mean, there is indeed a rotten smell on his hands, but the smell is very light. It should be just part of the tissue that is beginning to rot." Famous corrected its wording.
"That's still very serious!"
A chill ran down Zhang Zian's spine. This could explain welder Zhao's sudden illness. The tissues of his palm began to rot, which meant that the white blood cells were trying to fight against bacteria or viruses, which might have caused an inflammatory reaction.
He couldn't care about anything else. He strode over to welder Zhao, grabbed his hands, and asked,""Master Zhao, which hand of yours is injured? Did you get cut yesterday?"
Without waiting for welder Zhao to answer, Zhang Zian had already pulled off the labor protection gloves on both of his hands. He saw a band-aid on his right palm.
Zhang Zian pulled the edge of the band-aid and tore it off. Welder Zhao grimaced in pain, and his head was covered in sweat.
"Be gentle! Gentle! Brother Zhang, what are you doing?"
Welder Zhao wanted to take his hand back, but his wrist was firmly grabbed by Zhang Zian.
Under the light, Zhang Zian could see that the wound was black.
