Chapter 245: Medicine
In July of the 26th year of the Republic of China, the Lugou Bridge Incident tore off the last peaceful and quiet fig leaf in Beiping.
The smoke of gunfire finally filled the city.
"It's war again. ”
Lu Jin, the second lady of the Lu family, who had already left the cabinet, also returned to her parents' house now, she was walking back and forth on the wooden floor in a dress and small leather shoes, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
Her husband, Zhou Shutong, is the commander of the 113th Division of the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army (fictitious).
"Brother, do you think the barracks will be unhygienic, it's all bacteria. ”
"Brother, you call him and ask him if he's okay. ”
"He's going to be fine, he's going to be fine. ”
“......”
Lu Changqing began to deal with arms repeatedly because of his sister Lu Jin, and all the yarn factories run by the Lu family were changed to produce military gauze.
Beiping fell, Zhou Shutong fought desperately on the line of life and death, and Lu Jin's heart was also lifted high, and he never let it go. Lu Changqing tossed and turned between the commercial house and the yarn factory day by day, watching Beiping sink day by day, and he was anxious.
And most importantly, medicine is starting to become scarce.
"That eldest young master of the Lu family is our master's brother-in-law, right?"
"You said Lu Changqing?"
"Yes, yes, it's the young master Lu who took a play and went home to raise his life. ”
"That's Xu Chunqiu from the Yuhua class, where is an ordinary drama!"
"Can you pull it down, a drama that can't open her voice, where does it matter if she is just popular? I have heard that she was in a coma when she was sent to the Lu Mansion, and the young master Lu is also affectionate, a half-dead play, and he has been hanging with medicine until now. ”
"Medicine? Now that the medicine is under control, there is no market for it, so it's not easy to buy, right?"
"What's more, the eldest young master hasn't married yet, and if he continues to raise him, I'm afraid that if I take out all my wife, I won't be able to provide for her for long. ”
“......”
The two guards looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward to pick up the phone.
"Division Commander, there is a phone to find!"
Zhou Shutong came in from outside and took the phone: "One hundred and thirteenth division, Zhou Shutong." ”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and the caller seemed to have a hard time talking, and only opened his mouth after a while: "...... I'm Lu Changqing, and I'm calling to ask for something. ”
Zhou Shutong raised his hand and bowed, and let the two guards go out: "Brother Lu, even if you say it, I will try to help if I can." ”
Lu Changqing said succinctly: "I'm short of medicine, penicillin." ”
Xu Chunqiu was sent to another hospital by him to be raised, and the doctor came several times, but there was no improvement, and the reason was not clear, only that it was suspected of being streptococcus pneumoniae infection, and if it continued, it was afraid that it would worsen further.
Penicillin is a tube pharmaceutical, where is it so easy to get.
Lu Changqing spent a lot of money on the black market to seek medicine without success, so he thought of Zhou Shutong.
Zhou Shutong sighed, changed his hand and held up the phone: "This is life-saving medicine, even the army only has a small amount of reserves." ”
"You've done your best for that play......"
Lu Changqing's heart cooled little by little.
"Brother Lu, it's not that my brother won't help you, I really can't get this medicine easily. ”
Lu Changqing's throat slid for a moment, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he said in a dry voice: "It's okay, it's me who is too embarrassed for you." ”
"Also, you are safe over there, and my sister is still waiting for you at home. ”
Lu Changqing hung up the phone, Lu Jin was still anxious in the living room, he patted his sister on the shoulder: "He's fine, I just called and asked." ”
Lu Jin seemed to be a little relieved, and quickly grabbed his arm again and asked, "Then did he eat well and sleep well?"
Lu Changqing touched his sister's hair and sighed: "Okay, everything is fine with your sweetheart." ”
But there is no cure for my sweetheart.
Lu Changqing picked up his coat from the coat rack and went out, and a black foreign car was waiting outside the yard.
"Uncle Zhou, go to the other courtyard and have a look. ”
At this time, it was the time for the Western doctor to come to see the doctor, Lu Changqing got out of the car, pushed the door and entered the other hospital, and saw the Western doctor's assistant walking around the courtyard with a medicine box.
"How's that?" Lu Changqing asked anxiously.
The assistant shook his head: "Mr. Smith asked you to go in." ”
Lu Changqing's steps were disordered and cramped, and when he pushed the door into the room, Mr. Smith had just changed the glucose water in Xu Chunqiu's medicine bottle, and the liquid in the drip bottle flowed down the infusion tube drippingly, and Smith turned to face Lu Changqing and pulled the white coat on his body.
"How is she?"
The Western doctor shook his head: "The reason for her coma is still unknown. ”
"The condition of her lungs has been getting worse, and if there is still no medicine, I'm afraid it will ......"
I'm afraid time is running out.
Lu Changqing understood what the Western doctor did not say.
He stepped in three or two steps to Xu Chunqiu's hospital bed and reached out to touch her hand with the infusion needle.
Cold.
Lu Changqing was taken aback: "Why is it so cold?"
Smith explained without any waves: "You can understand it as heat transfer, and the relatively low temperature liquid enters her body fluids, and it is inevitable that the local body temperature will drop. ”
Lu Changqing didn't care about the principle at all, he reached out to hold Xu Chunqiu's hand, and took her thin white hand into his palm.
He held it for a long time, and just as Mr. Smith was packing up the medicine box and preparing to leave, Lu Changqing suddenly turned his head and asked, "How long does she have left?"
"If she can't get the medicine, how long can she stay in bed?"
Smith looked up at Xu Chunqiu's face like gold paper, sighed and said, "Glucose water barely maintains her most basic vital signs. ”
"It's three to five days, and the longest is only a week. ”
Lu Changqing was silent.
"Do you have anything else?"
He said abruptly, "No." ”
The white coat nodded at him, and prepared to leave the courtyard with his assistant.
Lu Changqing straightened up and straightened his back: "I'll send you." ”
The driver, Uncle Zhou, was still waiting outside, and Lu Changqing sent the Western doctor out of the hospital.
"Young Master, are you going back to the Lu Mansion now?" Lu Changqing waved his hand: "I want to accompany her again." ”
He turned his pace with a heavy heart, but when he turned around, he suddenly bumped into an unexpected person.
A lame old gentleman wearing sunglasses suddenly appeared from behind him silently, wearing a short coat and a string of beads in his hand, and smiled at him incomprehensibly.
"I know why she's unconscious, can you believe it?"
