There was silence on both ends of the phone.

Lingling's frightened voice came from her phone, "Oh my God, it's the plague!"

Lin Xiaoxiao gasped and hurriedly corrected, "Sister Lingling, don't say that you are studying medicine when you go out, the plague is the Black Death, and it has nothing to do with the black fever!"

"Ahem...... Lingling reacted, very embarrassed, "Uh...... I misheard it just now, kala-azar I know, Leishmania donovani is caused by sandflies as a vector...... Oh my God, the group of flying insects we saw in the livestock shed of the B&B yesterday can't be sandflies, right? The lotus seeds have been bitten by them, what should I do? What should I do......

"Don't worry, we're wearing long sleeves and long pants, didn't we bring mosquito repellent toilet water, and spray a little when we go out." ”

"Shall we go out and play, then?"

"Of course you have to play, you can't waste food because of choking, the original itinerary remains the same, you and Lianzi go to the attractions first, and Boss Qi and I will buy tickets and take the bus back for a while. ”

The child's treatment will take a long time, and Lin Xiaoxiao's roommate and his party only have a three-day trip in Baren Township, and the first day of the trip has already passed in the morning.

After saying goodbye to Maimaiti, Lin Xiaoxiao was at the door of the ward and prepared to use her mobile phone to book a ticket back to Baren Township Homestay.

"Lin Xiaoxiao?!" a familiar magnetic man's voice.

Look up and look at each other.

"Li Bai?!"

Li Bai, director of the Emergency Office of the Yunhai Center for Disease Control and Prevention, why is he here?

And wearing a white coat, it looks like a working state.

Li Bai was tall and thin and outstanding, and suddenly appeared in the hospital, attracting a group of young nurses to watch.

"Lin Xiaoxiao, it's really you, why are you here, are you uncomfortable?" Li Bai had a faint hint of surprise in his eyes, as well as a hint of worry.

Lin Xiaoxiao pointed to Shen Yuqi beside her, "I came to southern Xinjiang with my roommates, and the little grandson of the homestay owner's family is sick, so we came over to help and are about to leave." Director Li, why are you here?"

"The CDC has a counterpart support operation, and I'm going to stay here for a month. ”

It turned out to be an aid to Xinjiang operation, and Li Bai was from Yunhai City Disease Control, and now he should also be here to support the local disease control work.

Could it be that Li Bai was the person sent by the local government to investigate the Kala-azar epidemic?

"You're here to check on kala-azar?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.

"Is it the epidemic you called to report?" Li Bai answered the phone at the beginning, and he felt that the voice inside was very familiar on the phone, and now the meeting is more certain.

"Well, it's me, how are you going to find out? Do you want my help? Oh, by the way, I need your help. On the train to southern Xinjiang yesterday, I met an old couple, the mother-in-law has symptoms of kala-azar, and there are many sandflies in the homestay where I stay, the homestay is the home of this little patient today, your disease control should regulate and sanitize the patient's residence, right?"

Li Bai did not answer a series of questions, but asked rhetorically: "How do you judge that a little patient is kala-azar?"

Lin Xiaoxiao explained the process in detail, especially the microscopic photos of the bone marrow smear.

Li Bai read it and praised it, "Yes, you can find the pathogen from the film, and you can also find the transmission route from the epidemiological history, with solid professional knowledge, professionalism, carefulness, and enthusiasm, these are the qualities of becoming a disease control person." ”

Is he encouraging me to work in disease control?

Since the last time the outbreak of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome was detected in the dormitory of Yunhai University, Lin Xiaoxiao has strengthened his belief in entering the disease control work, but how did Li Bai know?

Maybe he just said it casually, and he hit Lin Xiaoxiao's heart.

"Well, I want to work in disease control, and I will enter the internship period in the next semester after the New Year, and I plan to apply to go to the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Director Li, do you think I have a chance?"

"Yes, welcome, but now I have something I need your help with, which will delay your travel trip, is that okay?"

"It's okay, I'm willing, how can I help?"

"Go to Baren Township to conduct on-site flow adjustments, take samples from the external environment, catch sandflies, sanitize, and survey people with symptoms of kala-azar. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao is very excited, this is an early entry into the internship period, and the opportunity is rare.

"Okay, when are you leaving?"

"Soon, I'll finish dealing with the affairs in the city hospital first. ”

Li Bai and the local CDC people acted separately, found Maimaiti's family to ask about the situation, took samples, and the local CDC personnel sent the specimens to the local CDC, and Li Bai led a team to go to Maimaiti's hometown homestay for further epidemiological investigation.

During this process, Lin Xiaoxiao and Shen Yuqi have been following Li Bai.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Li Bai's way of working, silently remembered it in his heart, and took advantage of the gap to whisper to Shen Yuqi.

"Boss Qi, after returning to Baren Township in a while, you go to Lingling and Lianzi alone to visit the scenic spot, and I have to help Director Li. ”

"No, I'm with you, I want to learn too. Shen Yuqi smiled and leaned into Li Xiaoxiao's ear and asked in a low voice, "Why is this Director Li so special to you?

"Nope. Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly explained, "This is the 3rd, no, 4th time we have met, and each time we meet, we don't speak more than a few words, and he is especially likely to me because of my strong professional ability." ”

"Cut! Your professional class grades are at the upper level of our class, but I always feel that this is not enough to impress the director of the emergency office of our Yunhai City Center for Disease Control and Prevention, is he fascinated by sex?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lin Xiaoxiao was anxious, "You said that I don't care, it's too embarrassing for this to reach Director Li's ears, besides, who can I charm with this little color?"

"Don't be presumptuous, you're our flower!"

"The flower is a random comment on our school's gossip forum, I have never admitted it, and Director Li is not the kind of person who will be fascinated by sex. ”

"Didn't you just meet four times? You know him so well?"

"Well, I guess by feeling, some things depend on intuition, and intuition tells me that Li Bai is a very professional person. ”

Shen Yuqi snickered, "Okay, you call your name directly, and I won't say anything." ”

From the city hospital to Baren Township, Lin Xiaoxiao, Shen Yuqi and Li Bai sat together on the CDC shunting car.

4:30 p.m.

The CDC shunting car was parked at the door of Maimaiti's homestay.

Roommates Lingling and Lianzi didn't go to the attraction, but waited there.

"Why didn't you two go to the attraction?" asked Shen Yuqi as soon as she got out of the car.

"There's a kala-azar outbreak, we don't want to run around, and we're worried about you and Xiaoxiao. ”

Lingling saw that Li Bai felt familiar, and quickly remembered his identity and asked, "Why is Director Li here?" and with the local disease control people. ”

"It's a long story. Lin Xiaoxiao accosted, "We now have to assist the local disease control people to do on-site investigations, that is, to catch sandflies, and to count people with symptoms of kala-azar from door to door, and take samples on the spot." ”

In addition to Li Bai, Lin Xiaoxiao and Shen Yuqi, there were also three people from the local city disease control on the stream.

There is a shortage of people to do so much work.

Lingling and Lianzi both frowned, thinking that this trip was probably going to turn into an emergency drill.

Li Bai saw their thoughts, "I have contacted the people from the county CDC and the township health center, and they will go door-to-door to survey people with symptoms of kala-azar, and I only need you to provide some information, such as where Aunt Li's house with symptoms of kala-azar is, and where the leper dog was found." ”

Lin Xiaoxiao showed Li Bai the way, and the disease control person went to Aunt Li's house to take samples, and caught a lot of sandflies, and brought the pet dog Chubby and the big yellow dog of the neighbor's homestay for examination.

In the evening, after the collection of environmental samples from the suspected patient's home, Li Bai personally carried out a thorough chemical extermination of the livestock shed of the homestay.

Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to help, but Li Bai didn't let her get started, and only asked her to be responsible for some simple inquiries.

As expected, the work wasn't over when it was dark.

Li Bai: "Xiaoxiao, you and your roommates go back to the B&B to rest, there has been a complete extermination of sandflies, and there will be no danger." ”

"What about you?"

"I'm going to work extra shifts. ”

"I'll help you. ”

Li Bai refused with a smile, "No, you can't do much when it's dark, and the next flow work will continue tomorrow." ”

"Then I'll continue to help tomorrow. ”

Li Bai hesitated for a moment, but finally did not refuse, "Okay, there is a task for you tomorrow." ”
