Chapter Sixty-Nine: When the Free Clinic Meets a Bully, Delivering Medicine Becomes a Random Charge!
After Hu'er, Wulong, and Maiti left the village in Puliba, they went to a farming and pastoral village farther away from the regiment headquarters to give free medical treatment to the farmers and herdsmen.
From September 18 to August 28, 1987, they visited 10 natural villages, and the process of free clinics and investigations was relatively smooth, and they had already distributed most of the medicines to farmers and herders in need of treatment.
At present, there are only five natural villages left, and they have not gone to the free clinic.
At 8 p.m. on August 28, after a free clinic in a village, and after dinner, they sat in the guest room of a wealthy farmer and herdsman's house, chatting with mare's milk tea.
Maiti said: "Huzi! Wulong! The remaining five villages that have not been visited are all in the north! They are getting farther and farther away from the regimental headquarters! Further north, there are fewer and fewer oases and water sources there! Moreover, I have no acquaintances in these villages! The people of the five villages rarely deal with our regimental headquarters, and I have heard my parents say that the people in these five villages are very aggressive and savage, and as long as anyone does not talk to them, they will definitely fight with whom! I think we had better not go to these five villages!"
Wu Long said with a smile: "How can this be done? The regimental hospital has given us the task of conducting free medical examinations and disease surveys in all the farming and pastoral villages in the area under its jurisdiction! If we encounter the slightest difficulty, we will not go! In the future, it will definitely be difficult for us to pass the internship assessment!"
Hu'er said: "Alas! Wulong! Maiti is also right! Not everyone welcomes us to go and treat them! So let's go! Tomorrow we will buy a few more days of dry food and drinking water in this village! If the people there do not welcome us, we should not enter the village! Let's go to the wind and eat and sleep in the open on a tour!"
Metty smiled and said, "Alas! Huzi's argument works! These five villages are all near the mountains of the desert oasis, and my uncle used to raise horses in this area, so I have visited the area with my uncle! I know that there are many caves! The caves there are dry, sheltered, and warm! If the villagers don't receive us, we can go to the caves! When the time comes, I will be responsible for catching hares and roasting them for you to eat!"
Wu Long said, "Maiti! I heard that where there are rabbits, there must be wolves!
Matti said: "Alas! Over the past ten years, the oases here have become smaller and smaller! Everyone has fewer cattle and sheep! Therefore, the wolves must have starved to death, and the remaining wolves have fled to the great oases and mountains in the north! There should be very few wolves left here, and the little wolves are afraid of people, so at night, we can just light a bonfire! Besides, don't you two have a spell that can make fire?
Everyone laughed!
......
At 9 a.m. on 29 September, after buying dry food, meat and drinking water for five days in their lodging village, they rode north to an Akashic farming village.
......
At about 1 p.m., they reached the vicinity of a village called Akassi.
After they had eaten food and water, they rode their horses to the village to find people and places to give free medical treatment to the villagers.
When the people of the village saw that the three of them were dressed in mainlander clothes and looked different from them, they all stood on the side of the road and stared at the three of them with resentment.
The three of them immediately felt that the people here were very unfriendly!
When Maiti asked the villagers standing on the side of the road in the local dialect where is the village office, who is the village chief, and the villagers always shook their heads silently!
When the three of them turned their heads and were about to leave the village, three strong men in their thirties and forties came up and stopped their way!
The eldest strong man sneered and said in Chinese: "My name is Huojia Yimu! I am the village chief here! I see that your horse is carrying a medicine box on your back! You want to slip away without helping us see a doctor?!"
Wu Long smiled and said, "Oh! The village chief's eyesight is really good! He can still see that we are here for treatment! However, we have changed our minds, and we don't want to treat you anymore! Actually, you are all very good, and you are not sick at all! Give us the way!"
Huojia Yimu smiled and said, "Alas, I won't give way to you!
So, Oka Yimu whistled!
Suddenly, dozens of villagers rushed out from each house with watermelon knives and sticks!
All of a sudden, dozens of villagers surrounded Hu'er, Wulong, and Maiti and their horses!
Hu'er knows that these villagers are all Diao people who don't know whether they are alive or dead!
Hu'er smiled and said, "Village Chief Huojia Yimu, please don't be angry! We are here sincerely, and we are ready to give free medical treatment and medicine to villagers who need medical treatment! However, you treat us as enemies! How can we treat you with medical treatment?"
Huojia Yimu smiled and said, "Very good! Although my villagers are not very good-tempered! However, they all listen to me! I will let you treat the villagers in my home! However, I will help you collect the money!
Hu'er said: "We are a free clinic, and we send medicine for minor illnesses! We give medical advice for major illnesses! We don't charge money! Therefore, you don't have to collect money!"
Huojia Yimu smiled and said: "Okay! This is better! You can help me work for free! I will set the price and collect the money, and all the money will belong to me! At night, I will give you a place to eat and sleep!"
As a result, more than a dozen Diao Min and the village chief of Huojia Yimu and others took Hu'er, Wulong and Mai Ti three horses away!
Soon after, they came to the house of Taka Ichiki.
After entering the courtyard of their house, Huojia Yimu and the others set up two tables and chairs in an empty room, and moved Hu'er and the three of them to the room, such as a duffel bag, a medical kit, and a medical kit.
The three of them led the horses to the stables and fed them.
After that, Hu'er and the others went into the house to change their clothes, set up medical equipment, etc., and prepared to give free medical treatment to the villagers.
......
In fact, Huojia Yimu is the bully of this village, and he called many villagers who wanted to see a doctor through his subordinates.
The thugs used sticks to make the villagers line up, and let the people who wanted to see a doctor go into the room one by one to see a doctor!
Huojia Yimu set up a table in front of Hu'er and Wulong's table to collect money!
When he collects the standard of money, he sees 2 yuan for the doctor and takes 5 yuan for medicine!
Hu'er hinted to Wu Long that complicated examinations such as taking blood samples should not be done.
Then, their free clinic and medicine delivery began!
These villagers were anxious to see a doctor and treat their illnesses, so they all paid 7 yuan per person to Huojia Yimu!
......
At 6 o'clock in the evening, when it was dark, Hu'er and they saw more than 120 patients, and at this time, Huojia Yimu collected more than 850 yuan!
Wu Long said: "Village chief, it's getting dark! We can't see a doctor! We're very tired, and we have to rest!"
Huojia Yimu smiled and said, "Okay! I'll let you rest! Tomorrow morning, you will help us see a doctor, and I will help you call people from other villages here to see a doctor! In this way, I can earn a lot of money!"
So, Huojia Yimu asked the thugs to drive away the villagers who still wanted to see a doctor!
Hu'er, Wulong, and Maiti packed up the medical equipment and medicines for the free clinic.
After that, Huojia Yimu and his two assistants invited Hu'er and the three of them to eat and drink in the restaurant at home.
Huojia Yimu smiled and said: "Doctor Hu! Doctor Long! Assistant Liu! Today, you have helped me earn money! I will definitely do my best to be a landlord, please eat and drink well! In this way, we will be friends in the future!"
So, Hu'er and the others went to the restaurant to eat with Yujia Yimu and them.
On the way, Hu'er hints that when Wulong and Maidi are drinking, find a way to get them drunk!
When they were eating, Hu'er and the others learned that the two assistants who followed Huojia Yimu were actually the sons of Huojia Yimu, but they looked older!
After Hu'er, Wulong and Maiti had eaten their fill, they began to constantly say compliments to the three of them, including Huojia Yimu and his son, and then poured them wine!
At about 9 o'clock in the evening, the three of Huojia Yimu and his son had been drunk by Hu'er, Wulong and Maiti!
So Hu'er and the others went to the courtyard of the house of Woo Jia Yimu and led their horses out of the stable.
Then, put their saddles, packers, etc., on the horseback, and they put their bags, medical kits, and supplies bags on the packer racks and bundle them up!
After checking that nothing was missing, they took advantage of the moonlight to leave the village of Akashic along a path from the back door of Taka Kazuki's house.
After leaving the village of Akashí a little farther, they flew on their horses and galloped towards the mountains!
Led by Maiti, they soon came to the mouth of a cave.
Maiti smiled and said, "Huzi! Wulong! This cave is where my uncle and I used to stay! There is a small stream next to it, and we can get water or bathe in the small stream during the day! Now, let's get off our horses! There are trees next to the entrance of the cave where we can tie horses!"
So, Hu'er and the three of them dismounted.
After tying up the horses, they unloaded their duffel bags, medical kits, supply kits, as well as saddles and packers.
Then, they feed and water the horses.
After finding dry wood nearby, they lit bonfires near the horses, at the mouth of the cave, and inside the cave!
They then spread wool carpets, mats, mats, and rugs near the bonfires in the cave.
They began to lie on the rough beds, drink water and chat.
Maiti said: "Alas! This is how the herdsmen live in the open air! My uncle has been raising horses since he was a teenager! Because he has lived like this all year round, and his diet is very normal, sometimes he has not eaten or drunk for several days! Therefore, my uncle died of illness when he was in his forties! Therefore, I don't want to live around this desert like my uncle! I want to go to school! In the future, I will become a doctor like you!"
Hu'er said, "Maiti! I will help you with your studies! Alas, poverty is the root of disease and crime! We have just passed through the village of Akashi, because there is no income from the main business, and then they begin to become impetuous, and hate others! Eventually, bullies like Taka Ichimu appeared! Then, they began to eat people!"
Wu Long said: "Alas! If I hadn't seen those poor villagers! I really wanted to exterminate the gang of Huojia Yimu! Now, I finally understand! When people are trying to survive and have food and clothing, they are all the same! All beliefs, customs, and faces are fake!"
Maiti said: "Yes! Some people like to pretend to be gods! They use scriptures and God's will all day long to fool the common people! In fact, the gods are just seeking personal interests for themselves and their own small groups, and the people they end up harming are all ordinary people! I feel that it is too difficult to be a common people!"
Wu Long said: "Maiti! When you graduate from college, you can go to us! When the time comes, I will teach you to cultivate the Tao and become an immortal! In this way, you will have the opportunity to become an immortal in the future, and it is inevitable that there will be torture and pain of one kind or another!"
Maiti smiled and said: "Okay! One of my dreams is to become a god! This mountainous area is the center of the five villages! In the future, we will live here! It is very convenient to go to the other four villages from here! In this way, in a few days, we can go back to the regiment headquarters! After returning to the regiment headquarters, I will go to the provincial capital to attend the college entrance examination cram school! I will definitely study hard and work hard to be admitted to the medical school of Beijing Normal University, where you are studying!"
Hu'er smiled and said, "Okay! Let's hurry up and finish the free medical treatment and medical investigation in these four villages! Maiti, after returning to the regiment headquarters, I will immediately give you 6,000 yuan! Is this enough money for you to study in the provincial capital?"
Maiti smiled and said: "That's enough! This time, I will lead the way for you as an assistant, and the regimental hospital should send me more than 200 yuan! In this way, my travel expenses and living expenses to the provincial capital will be about the same!"
Wu Long smiled and said, "Eh! I feel that the regimental hospital treats us unfairly! Why do we only get more than 100 yuan a month?!"
Maiti smiled and said: "Wulong! The regiment headquarters gives you free accommodation, free medical care, food subsidies, transportation subsidies, etc., these are not money!"
Everyone laughed!
