Chapter 267: A Ruined Gold Mining Town

"The scenery here is not bad, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, but why is it so deserted?" After the five buses were replenished in the provincial capital of Anzhou, they slowly drove towards Ganzhou Province, and Xu Zhuo's destination now is a town located at the junction of Anzhou and Ganzhou provinces.

The town's medical facilities are extremely backward, the only hospital has closed down for some inexplicable reasons, and only a few private clinics are left, making it extremely inconvenient for the people to see a doctor. Moreover, private clinics are expensive and cannot be reimbursed for medical insurance, so many townspeople suffer from minor illnesses and are too lazy to go to the clinic, but just buy some medicine to eat, which poses serious risks and hidden dangers to life safety and health.

The Qinjia village has long been a thing of the past, Xu Zhuo and they stayed in the Qinjia village for two days, and after carrying out the necessary free clinics and physical examinations, they moved to the next venue, and after that, they experienced another place, took a big detour, and finally, they came to the provincial capital of Anzhou for supplies.

After all, counting all the free clinics, they have already carried out five of them, and all kinds of food, water, and medicine have been consumed about the same, and after the supply is full in the provincial capital of Anzhou, the free clinic team has rested for half a day, and then set off again to the sixth destination, which is this town.

"The place we are going to now is a town that was said to have been very prosperous in the past, in the past, gold mines were discovered in this place, attracting countless gold diggers, and there are enterprises contracted to develop, build resorts, hotels and so on, but unfortunately, the good times will not last long, and the prosperity will eventually come to an end, maybe because the gold mines are finished, or maybe because of some other unknown reasons, this town suddenly fell overnight, which is embarrassing. ”

"A place that could have developed into a county eventually decayed, and its popularity was not as good as that of a township. ”

On the winding mountain road, in the bus, everyone can see the dilapidated town under the mountain from a distance, there are many houses in the town, the scale seems not small, but there are few people on the street in broad daylight, it is really a little weird, which is also the reason why everyone says that it is deserted, because there is no popularity. Captain Sun Simian was very emotional to give everyone the history of the science town, explaining the rise and fall and changes.

As the captain of the team, Sun Simiao naturally conducted research on each place in advance, and knew some local history, economy, medical facilities, and customs.

"There used to be a gold mine in this place, so could there be any residual gold?" Zeng Yulan's eyes immediately lit up and he exclaimed.

"Oh, maybe there is, if you walk around the river, you might be able to pick up the legendary dog's head gold!" a female nurse laughed and quipped.

"Heha, you think too much, after so many years, even a grain of golden sand, I'm afraid it has been taken away, how can there be any gold left. Even if there is, it is rare, and it is hard to find. Otherwise, people will die for money, birds will die for food, and I don't know how many people will rush to pan for gold. A young male doctor retorted, pouring cold water on him.

Another male doctor said: "Yes, most of the gold is gone, there used to be a lot of caves, and it is said that the mines are like a labyrinth, and it is difficult for unfamiliar people to touch them when they enter it." ”

"The mine is too dark and terrifying, so I don't want to go there!

……

Everyone's words and my words are all around gold, only the captain Sun Simiao is silent in thought.

"Captain, what's wrong?

Sun Simiao shook his head, then looked at the people in the car, and said to everyone in a very solemn and serious tone: "Actually, there is one thing I haven't told you. According to the information I have gathered, this gold mining town is very strange, maybe it was because of some serious pollution caused by mining, maybe because of some other reasons, the residents of this town, most people do not live to be forty years old, and even if they are alive, they often have many diseases and low immunity, so this town is also called a short-lived town!"

"What, Short-lived Town, is there such a thing?"

"Could it be that the heavy metals in the water in this place are excessive?"

"It's also possible that there is radiation, and some rocks are very radioactive, and in the long run, there will be problems. ”

Everyone speculated and was surprised.

Sun Simiao shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. I only know that the local government is actually very evasive about this matter, therefore, few people report this kind of thing on the Internet, even if someone occasionally sends it out, but it is quickly deleted, and those who see it only think that it is some small editor's grandstanding, so they don't care too much. After all, there is too much fake news now. There are not many people watching, so naturally it will not form a sensational effect.

"Everything, you have to go to know. ”

"In addition, what I want to tell you is that we are also risking our lives when we go to this town, and the mysterious factors in it are very likely to endanger our health and make us short-lived, so we must be mentally prepared. "Captain Sun Simian gave everyone a vaccination.

However, it has provoked everyone's constant refutation.

"Captain, Boss, you really underestimate people! In the past, Bethune could save people even under artillery fire, and we are still afraid of these unwarranted things?"

"I think it's also possible that the people here have bad ancestral genes. In addition, the impact on health is also a chronic event, and we will only stay for two or three days for free clinics, so it should not be a big problem!"

"It is our doctor's duty to save lives and help the wounded, so how can we be afraid of difficulties?"

"That is, we are here to send love, we are needed here, we are not afraid of difficulties, brave free clinic! Well, the beautiful reporters of the TV station, why don't you hurry up and shoot this inspirational scene!"

The beautiful reporter Liu Shasha patted the camera on her shoulder, smiled and said: "Needless to say, we have already photographed your heroic image!"

"Ahh

Everyone laughed: "You guessed it!" "You just found out?" Haha, it's not too late to show yourself!"

……

Although the climate was hot and the conditions were difficult, there was laughter and laughter all the way, and everyone was full of fighting spirit and high spirits, and soon, about twenty minutes, the bus came to the town at the foot of the mountain and stopped in front of a good-looking hotel.

The town is very large, there are many houses, like a small county town, however, most of the houses are very dilapidated, obviously old, and many of them are still uninhabited "haunted houses", overgrown with vines and plants, so that people can look at it, and in this big daylight, you can give birth to a gloomy, chilling feeling behind it.

It had not been so lively for a long time, and so many guests had come, and the proprietress of the inn was very happy, and came out to greet them with a smile, beckoned everyone to come in and check in, and instructed the men to prepare the meal. The proprietress is also quite good at doing business, and "the scale is relatively large", it looks "very classy" in the town, the first floor of the hotel is actually a restaurant, the combination of restaurants and hotels, and the only relatively large catering and accommodation place in the town, although the business is cold in the past, but it can also operate.

Originally, the volunteer medical team planned to live in a hotel, although there were tents to live in, but it was in the countryside, where there were no hotels, and it was just a last resort.

At least, in this summer, there are air-conditioned bathrooms in the hotel. It's easy to go to the toilet, take a bath, change clothes, and do everything. Especially for female doctors and nurses.

The food in this hotel is not a superb dish, that is, ordinary home-cooked food, the chef's skills are average, but Rao is so, and it also makes the staff of the volunteer clinic who are tired of eating instant noodles and ham sausages enjoy a good handful, which can be described as "feasting" and "feasting", because everyone usually really fades out of their mouths.

When Xu Zhuo said that they were conducting a free clinic, and they would give free medicine in the town tomorrow, which was the sixth session of the free clinic, the proprietress was suddenly in awe, and personally poured a full glass of wine, toasting everyone, saying that Xu Zhuo They were angels in white, the loveliest people, and they deserved her three glasses in a row!

It's a pity that the volunteer clinic team is out of the house, according to the rules and regulations of the hospital, it has always been forbidden to drink, but today the sun has set, they will only have a free clinic tomorrow, the proprietress is so enthusiastic, not only to toast, but also to take the initiative to send a case of liquor, five cases of beer, the hospitality is difficult, Sun Simian made an exception to let everyone have a good time, just told everyone, not to get drunk. It's really craving, just drink it well.

The proprietress is also a good amount of wine, more than 40 degrees of liquor, two or two glasses, all of which are a glass of wine, which makes everyone applaud. The atmosphere was also more enthusiastic. In the deserted town, the bustle here is particularly eye-catching, and some passers-by can't help but look at it a few more times and miss the prosperity of the past.

During the banquet, everyone also talked with the proprietress and inquired about the other party's family situation, spouse, children, etc. Where to know, but it led to the tears of the proprietress .

"Alas~, my mouth is bitter, and I will die before thirty-nine!" The proprietress herself is thirty-seven or eighteen years old,, and the charm is still there, at this time, when the words came out, her eyes were red, and the tears couldn't stop rolling down, ticking on the ground, which made people sympathize.

"What's the matter, lady, are you a widow?" someone asked. But he was immediately blinded by the people around him, which means, why did you say it so directly, is it already very sad not to see others?

Hearing this, the proprietress was naturally even more sad, as if the scar that had just been uncovered was revealed, and tears rolled down like pearls with broken threads, flowing down from her face, no matter how she wiped it, she couldn't wipe it clean, she couldn't wipe it all, and she was soaked with several tissues.

Not far away, seeing the proprietress so sad, Ni Xiaomiao also looked gloomy and lowered her head. Xu Zhuo couldn't help but gently pat her on the shoulder. Zeng Yulan also held Ni Xiaomiao's hand, leaned into her ear, and whispered comfort, because Ni Xiaomiao is also a widow, and now I heard that this boss lady is also a widow, and I can't help but empathize.

"I'm wrong, I'll make amends!" the male doctor who said the proprietress was a widow raised his glass, then drank it all and apologized to the proprietress in one gulp.

"It's okay, you're serious, I'll have a glass too!" The proprietress wiped her tears, drank a glass of wine in front of her, her face was quite red, maybe she drank too much, the proprietress not only looked more beautiful, but also talked more, and didn't care if everyone was willing to listen, anyway, after putting down the wine glass, she opened the conversation box and began to complain and talk non-stop.

"My mouth died in an accident, he didn't listen to me, he had to go to the gold mine to find the missing gold, and the result was ......"
