Ye Zhenzhen didn't understand what Nan Zhiqiao meant, where the skin was wrinkled, where the secret parts were, could there be any problems in these places, paralysis, respiratory failure, and asymmetrical pupils, shouldn't these symptoms be caused by the brain center?

The nurse standing next to her shook her head and said, "When I changed the patient's clothes, I didn't notice anything unusual. ”

Nan Zhiqiao looked at the little girl who was pale and lying motionless on the bed, her long hair was tied to the side with a ribbon, and her jet-black hair contrasted sharply with her pale face.

Nan Zhiqiao suddenly asked, "Where's the hair?

Listening to Nan Zhiqiao's questions and Duoduo's recent symptoms, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly understood what Nan Zhiqiao meant.

Ye Zhenzhen leaned over to Duoduo's side, untied Duoduo's long hair, and carefully searched for it inch by inch along the hair roots of her scalp.

Sister Jiang stood aside and asked puzzledly, "Zhenzhen, what are you looking for?"

Ye Zhenzhen didn't answer, carefully searched in Duoduo's hair, and soon, in the hair behind Duoduo's right ear, a black spot the size of a red bean grain was found.

"Found it!" Ye Zhenzhen called out softly.

Sister Jiang leaned over, looked behind Duoduo's ear, and asked, "What is this?" like a little black bean. ”

The doctor also came over, only glanced at it, and exclaimed, "Tick?!"

Nan Zhiqiao breathed a sigh of relief, and it was as he thought in his heart.

Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen glanced at each other, Nan Zhiqiao smiled heartily, and said in her heart, since Ye Zhenzhen knew to find ticks in her hair, then she must understand that the symptoms of Duoduo were caused by tick bites, Nan Zhiqiao nodded slightly, and motioned for Ye Zhenzhen to explain.

Ye Zhenzhen understood what Nan Zhiqiao meant, and explained, "Duoduo's disease is tick paralysis, the reason is the tick bite, after Duoduo was bitten by the tick, because it was not detected in time, the tick has been sucking blood, three days after being bitten, the tick began to secrete neurotoxins that can cause paralysis, and then the patient will have symptoms, initially loss of appetite, soon paralysis, excessive drooling, asymmetrical pupils, vomiting, and finally the patient will die of respiratory failure." ”

"Death!" Sister Jiang was chilled and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Don't worry, just pull out the tick and you'll be fine. Ye Zhenzhen comforted.

The doctor took tweezers and gently pulled them along the head of the tick, the tick was full of blood, the body of the insect that was previously invisible had expanded dozens of times, and there were still blood streaks hanging on the tip.

The blood-sucking tick is placed on a medical tray, with its round belly and eight legs attached to the sides like filaments.

"It is a blood-red scalloped tick, which generally lives in agricultural areas and wild fields, and is most commonly parasitic on dogs. Nan Zhiqiao looked at the ticks on the medical tray and said lightly.

Sister Jiang looked at Duoduo on the hospital bed distressedly, and asked, "Duoduo is usually in a welfare home, how can she be bitten by a tick?"

Nan Zhiqiao: "A week ago, the children from the welfare center visited the suburban zoo and then had a picnic on the nearby grass, most likely from being bitten by a tick at that time. ”

Sister Jiang realized the seriousness of the matter, she didn't want other children to have this situation, so she hurriedly left the ward and called the welfare center.

In the ward, the doctor adjusted the treatment plan for Duoduo, and the doctor also breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Fortunately, the cause was found." ”

One of the doctors looked at Nan Zhiqiao, couldn't help but look at it twice, and asked politely, "You are the director of the CDC in China, right?"

Nan Zhiqiao nodded, and also looked at the doctor who was asking, but he didn't have any impression.

The doctor introduced himself: "I used to work in the prevention clinic of the hospital, and I went to the CDC in China to listen to your lectures. ”

It turned out that there were so many people listening to the lecture that Nan Zhiqiao couldn't remember them all.

Nan Zhiqiao walked up to Ye Zhenzhen's side and said, "The cause of Duoduo's paralysis has been found, and the cause has been removed, she will get better soon, you can go back with me." ”

Ye Zhenzhen hesitated a little, looking at the flowers on the hospital bed, thinking of the dead An An, her heart was full of sympathy and sadness, and tears couldn't help but roll in her eyes.

Nan Zhiqiao didn't expect that his words would make Ye Zhenzhen almost cry, and she didn't know what sad things she had evoked.

Nan Zhiqiao hurriedly comforted and said, "It's okay if you don't want to go back, I'll stay with you to accompany Duoduo." ”

Ye Zhenzhen was just about to nod, and suddenly remembered that Nan Zhiqiao is usually very busy, in addition to the affairs of the China CDC laboratory, he also has to worry about the affairs of the Nanmu Group, he has been busy all day today, and if he stays here for the night at night, he is too tired.

Ye Zhenzhen shook her head, "No, Senior Nan, you go back first, I'll be here alone." ”

"I'll be where you are. Nan Zhiqiao said unquestioningly.

It was originally a serious word, but when Nan Zhiqiao said this, listening to Ye Zhenzhen's ears, it was like a refreshing love story, and she couldn't find a reason to persuade for a while.

Sister Jiang returned to the ward after making a phone call from outside, saw the ambiguous eyes between the two, and immediately understood, and said with a smile: "You both go back, I will take care of Duoduo here." ”

Ye Zhenzhen: "Sister Jiang, can you be alone?"

"I'm not alone, wait a while, Xiao Zhang from the welfare institute will also come, we will work shifts, don't worry about it, Zhen Zhen, you have been busy for a day, you have to go to work tomorrow, go back with your boyfriend." ”

Ye Zhenzhen was more worried about Nan Zhiqiao's situation, thought about it, and decided to go back with Nan Zhiqiao, "Okay, Sister Jiang, you take care of Duoduo first, and I'll come back on the weekend." ”

——

Nan Zhiqiao drove Ye Zhenzhen back to the Xincheng apartment first, and then went back to the old Nanjia house in the suburbs, and in the old mansion, there was a matter of Nanmu Group to discuss with his grandfather.

Since the misunderstanding of Lin Weiyin hugging Nan Zhiqiao last time was resolved, Ye Zhenzhen and Nan Zhiqiao seem to have returned to the past, in addition to working together in the laboratory, Nan Zhiqiao has a lot of Nanmu Group things to deal with, and there is almost no time for all off-work appointments.

Ye Zhenzhen didn't think there was any problem, after all, since he met Nan Dashen, he has been in this busy state, and the hurried confession before the last trip to West Africa to fight the epidemic and rescue, Ye Zhenzhen remembered it in her heart, but the two were not as tired of being together as most couples in action.

You Kexin felt very strange about Ye Zhenzhen and Nan Zhiqiao's way of getting along, he and Liang Chen flirted and scolded every day, like dry firewood, looking at Ye Zhenzhen's pair as silent as a pool of water every day, he couldn't help but say a few words.

On this day, after Ye Zhenzhen was sent back to the Xincheng apartment by Nan Zhiqiao, You Kexin began to gossip again.

"Zhenzhen, how are you and Nan Dashen doing? I heard that you kissed in the laboratory?"

"Kissing in the laboratory?" Ye Zhenzhen remembered that she had received an email containing the smallpox virus in the laboratory before, and Nan Zhiqiao took the initiative to kiss her in order to isolate with herself, it was still the first kiss between the two, but only China's CDC own staff were present at that time, how did Xin know?

Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but ask: "Kexin, who did you listen to?"

"Lin Weiyin. ”
