Chapter 343: The Past of AIDS

The clinical rural patient also agreed, he really didn't want to lie in bed to suffer for himself and his family, seeing that others expressed their attitudes, Aunt Qin and Uncle Qin discussed a few words, and said that people would recover their defrauded money, and they would not be liars, and they would not be cheaters, and they would not be deceived anymore, so they agreed.

The young man nodded, said a few words into the quantum phone, and half an hour later, a tall man wearing a black trench coat and black sunglasses appeared at the door of the ward and handed the young man a box full of science fiction.

The young man unlocked the box with his fingerprint, and after a burst of high-pressure deflating sound, in the thick white air, he saw that there were only three capsules in the box, very ordinary capsules, red and white in color.

The young man said, "Just swallow it, and it will take effect immediately." ”

The three patients were each lifted up by their families, swallowed capsules, sent them to their stomachs with warm water, and then stared at him with a blank eye.

"The results are seen very quickly. The young man said.

On the other side, the little nurse saw that she couldn't stop this magic stick from harming people, so she sneaked out and called people.

Time passed second by second, I don't know if it was a psychological factor, Uncle Qin felt that his whole body was no longer painful, his stomach growled, and a wave of hunger came, wanting to eat, he said, "Okay, get me some noodles." ”

The voice came out, and even he was surprised, and the middle qi seemed to be much more sufficient.

The reactions of the two patients next to him were similar to Lao Qin's, both of them significantly reduced their pain and their spirits improved a lot.

At this time, the little nurse came in with the doctor and the security guard, pointed at the young man and shouted, "It's him! ”

When the attending doctor saw the young man, his face showed uncontrollable surprise, "Mr. Liu, what's the matter...... You know what's you...... fan."

The young man's expression was indifferent, and after dealing with the enthusiasm of the attending doctor, he said, "Let's go do a color ultrasound." ”

After listening to the young man's words, the attending doctor didn't say a word, and immediately arranged for the nurse to examine the three patients, the little nurse was puzzled, and secretly looked at the young man, which felt a little familiar, but there were many things at the moment, so it was not good to ask more, so he obediently complied.

The color ultrasound room of this tertiary hospital has always been crowded, and the queue takes a long time, but today a color ultrasound room was specially arranged for three patients to do examinations, and the operator is the director of the color ultrasound room, an experienced veteran, after a detailed examination, the report was printed out, and the tumor in the patient's body has completely disappeared.

Disappear completely!

The three patients and their families were dumbfounded, they couldn't believe their ears, they didn't need surgery or injections, and they killed all the cancer cells in less than half an hour after eating, which was the panacea brought by the gods.

When I turned around and looked for the young man, he was nowhere to be seen, and several family members of the patient pulled the attending doctor's clothes and said, "Doctor, what about the living Bodhisattva, we are going to kowtow to him." ”

The doctor was also in a dream, and said sneeringly: "That is not a living bodhisattva, it is Mr. Liu of Company X, Liu Yuan, I heard that he is engaged in special drugs for the treatment of tumors, but I didn't expect him to really succeed." ”

The little nurse next to him was very suspicious: "No, how did Mr. Liu become so young, I can't recognize him." ”

The family members of the patients did not have the heart to think about this, and the news that the new drug developed by Company X could completely eliminate cancer cells in half an hour spread at the speed of light in the oncology department of the hospital, and countless patients suffering from cancer flocked to Company X, hoping to give them this life-saving miracle drug.

At this time, Liu Yuan did not put his mind on enjoying the praise of the outside world, he took Guo Xiong, and the two used another traversal cabin to return to 2001.

In the early summer of 2001, the sun was not too hot. The spring planting has passed, the autumn harvest has not yet arrived, and Wenbo Village is so quiet that you can hear the sound of tree branches swaying during the day.

In an ordinary farmhouse courtyard in the village, clotheslines stretch from one end to the other, farm tools, wooden carts, stools, shoes and socks...... All sorts of things were scattered on the ground, as if they hadn't cleaned up in a long time. At the innermost part of the courtyard were small bungalows, and the red couplets at the door had faded and become mutilated by the wind and sun. There was no electric light in the house, and it was a little dim.

Guo Xiong looked around at the surroundings, he didn't know what the boss was doing when he took him to this time and space alone, but the boss didn't say anything, and he didn't ask questions.

Liu Yuan looked at this peaceful little village quietly, "I have always admired you very much, that is, as long as I don't say it, you will never open your mouth, it is the beginning of the century, this village is the first AIDS village in our country." ”

Guo Xiong was shocked when he heard this, but Liu Yuan had already stepped on the village road, and he hurriedly followed.

Liu Yuan found the village party secretary familiar with the road, explained his intention, wanted to help the infected people in the village, and showed the medicine box, the village party secretary was an old man with a wrinkled face, and when he heard the words, he knocked the dry smoke in the corner of the wall and shot out a mouthful of thick phlegm, "In the middle, the Ma family met a good person." ”

"I was so prosperous...... I don't have any pictures from that year. ”

The sister-in-law who was sitting in the courtyard recalled the past, and suddenly there was a hint of girlish shyness on her face.

At this time, the sister-in-law was already very sick, and her clothes could not hide her skinny bones, and after struggling to get up from the bed, she first went to worship God, and then perhaps it was the sunshine outside, she did not continue to lie down.

After getting up from the bed, Sister-in-law Ma began to worship God, saying that this would make her comfortable and energetic.

There are three children in the family, the eldest daughter Ma Ningning is in the second grade and has a fleshy face; the second daughter is more noisy than her sister, often giggling and singing; and the younger son can't walk or talk, and often crawls around the yard with his bare buttocks.

In the early 90s of the last century, the village set off a trend of "selling blood to get rid of poverty".

In order to make ends meet, the Ma family and his wife also joined the army of blood sellers. At that time, blood collection was usually "plasma collection", that is, the plasma was separated after the blood was collected, and then the blood cells were returned to the body. In the process, some blood collection stations reuse infusion tubes and needles, which has caused many villagers, including the Ma family, to be infected with HIV through "blood-borne transmission".

In the baseline time and space, AIDS is mainly sexually transmitted, but in the 8090s of the last century, blood transmission is the main way of spreading AIDS, which is also the purpose of Liu Yuan's crossing, the genetic material of the HIV virus is RNA, and the single-stranded structure is very easy to mutate.

In 2001, before the HIV-related mother-to-child blocking technology was widely available, the Ma family unknowingly conceived two more children, both of whom were infected with HIV through mother-to-child transmission, and the eldest daughter survived because she was born before the two sold blood.

In a family of five, only the eldest daughter is a survivor of the disaster.

Lao Ma said that there are "more than five" in the village - there are many people who sell blood, there are many people who get sick, there are many children who are out of school, there are many lonely men and women, and there are many lonely old people.

The bloody disaster in the 90s of the last century caused this village to suffer greatly.

From HIV infection to onset, the length of the incubation period varies from a few months to more than a dozen years, with an average of eight to ten years. This is the process of the struggle between the body's immunity and the virus, and when the virus has the absolute upper hand, AIDS-related immunodeficiency symptoms will manifest themselves.

The old horse still has no obvious symptoms, but the sister-in-law is already thinking about her afterlife. She was already ill, and she would suddenly laugh twice in the midst of one moan after another, because she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and laughed hard.

As early as 1997, the combination of a variety of antiviral drugs "cocktail therapy" became the standard treatment for AIDS, but in the Ming Kingdom, AIDS-related free drug treatment began in 2004, before that, because the relevant drugs can only rely on imports, the cost is very expensive, the monthly cost is thousands to tens of thousands of yuan, the poor can not reach, except for luck to be reported, get social donations, otherwise can only wait for death.

Hearing that there was a doctor sent from above, the barefoot doctor from the clinic in the south of the village also rushed over, and he told Liu Yuan that there was no hope for the child.

The treatment method in the AIDS village is to go to the free clinic in the village to hang the needle, the clinic is a financial allocation, and there is only one type of needle, antibiotics, and the most brutal method is used to suppress bacterial infection.

However, antibiotics have great side effects, and long-term use will lead to gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms, because they have to be metabolized by the liver and kidneys, and will also lead to damage to liver function and kidney function, and even affect hematopoietic function, which will cause the reduction of some blood cells, just to prolong that poor little life with pain.

Sister-in-law's previous wish was very simple, as long as she had food, drink, and clothing in this life. And now, in the life of Sister-in-law Ma, what needs to be faced is the word "death".

Because of AIDS, her brother died, a bunch of people she knew also died, and graves rose one by one in the open space in the village, and Sister-in-law Ma felt that she should not survive this winter.

Due to low immunity, the two children also have diarrhea all the time, pull when eating, and when playing in the house or yard, a puddle of watery poop may appear under his buttocks at any time. Lao Ma heard that children born with HIV can only live to be 4 years old.

Even if he has not yet become ill, the desperate old horse has thought of death: "I feel that it is best for me to die, according to my thoughts, I estimate that the second half of my life, my life will be over......."

But there are three young children at home, he still survived day by day, Lao Ma can't go out to work, the family field can't be taken care of by anyone, the daily expenses are not enough, he can only go to the county from time to time to ask for relief, sometimes 100 yuan, sometimes 50 yuan, sometimes a quilt.

"What is AIDS?"

"A contagious disease, contagious ......" Listening to the question of the good-looking uncle in front of her, the eldest daughter Ning Ning replied with her younger brother in her arms.

"Is this disease scary?"

"Terrible. ”

"Do you know if my brother has AIDS?"

"Yes. ”

"Where's my sister?"

"Yes. ”

"Where's Daddy?"

"Yes. ”

"What about you?"

"Not really. ”

"Who told you that?"

"My father. ”

"You're not afraid that your younger siblings will infect you?"

"Don't be afraid. ”

"Why?"
