Dean Liu was so angry that he trembled, thinking to himself whether Lao Tzu is the dean or are you the dean? Are you here to threaten Lao Tzu, do you still have the concept of superiors and subordinates? Besides, why should I listen to your command?

Sighing weakly, the angry Dean Liu sat down, seemed to have a somewhat compromised attitude, shook his head and said with an irritable expression: "You go and investigate the situation in other counties first and then come and talk to me, what is the matter now? The responsibility of the epidemic is heavy, and you can't afford it!"

Xiao Xiong's face was full of boredom, and he said anxiously, delaying the patient's treatment time, Lao Tzu let you use your life to resist! Angrily punched the table, the table made a loose sound in response, and almost fell apart, Xiao Xiong turned around and left, and threw down a sentence: "Okay, then you wait!"

Qi Bang waited worriedly downstairs in the hospital, Xiao Xiong walked out with a gloomy face, Qi Bang probably guessed the result in his heart, "Big brother, what did the stupid roe deer say?"

"What the hell, stupid pig!" Xiao Xiong scolded angrily, his mind suddenly confused, and he was simply angry.

"Where is the car parked? Let's go to a few other counties!" Xiao Xiong quickly made up his mind, thinking that he could only use his actions to stop Dean Liu's mouth at the moment, and make sure that he agreed to his suggestion and treat those suspected patients with rootless grass.

"Over there!" Qi Bang pointed to the side of the street in the distance, and Xiao Xiong walked to the car and dialed Doctor Fang to find out how his actions were going in town.

Going deep into each county under the jurisdiction of Pingshan County, Xiao Xiong and Qi Bang split into two routes, each contacting the health center in each town, in order to thoroughly understand the information of each person suspected of being infected with the epidemic, and one point is particularly crucial, that is, it is important to find out whether each patient has been exposed to the well water in the village.

The situation was surprisingly similar, the results obtained after three days of investigation were almost identical, and the actual situation was exactly the same as Xiao Xiong's conjecture, and even Qibang could not believe that the villages they visited, those patients suspected of being infected by the epidemic, had all been exposed to well water without exception.

Back in the town, everyone in the clinic is waiting for Xiao Xiong and Qi Bang to return. Some of the doctors of the medical team brought from Haicheng are still in the village to care for patients who are suspected of being sick, and the rest are in meetings with Dr. Fang.

Xiao Xiong's entry interrupted the meeting, and Xiao Xiong immediately issued an order to the doctors of the medical team: "Starting tomorrow, you will disperse to various villages, seal the well water in the village, and no one will be allowed to use the well water again." ”

Dr. Fang and the other doctors were all surprised, and this kind of practice means that it is very difficult to implement. You know, those poor families in the village do not have running water pipes at home, and they usually rely on well water to meet their daily water needs.

With embarrassment and hesitation on his face, Dr. Fang said to Xiao Xiong in a cautious tone: "Doctor Xiao, it's not that we don't want to do it, in this way, the villagers will be very resistant, and we may not be able to control the well water and prevent the villagers from touching it." ”

"If you can't do it, you have to do it!" Xiao Xiong said angrily, "If someone disagrees, you just let him get in touch, he doesn't want to die himself, and we can't control it!"

Doctor Fang was speechless, and the medical team began to act that night, driving out of the village in several cars to several surrounding villages to carry out Xiao Xiong's orders.

The epidemic situation must be brought under control as soon as possible, and Xiao Xiong was so sad that he couldn't sleep all night.

Fortunately, there is also gratifying news that many villagers have been very cooperative with the work of the medical team after learning about the situation, and have begun to spontaneously go up the mountain in groups to look for rootless grass.

Niu Sheng was in a state of ignorance about what had happened in the past few days, and just after dinner, he and Xiao Xiong went to the well under the big tree at the edge of the village.

Seeing Xiao Xiong standing by the well for a long time, Niu Sheng walked over, looked blank, and asked Xiao Xiong, "I got sick because I drank well water?"

"That's right," Xiao Xiong turned around, with a heavy worry in his eyes, "I can't judge your current physical condition, so I'll take you to Hongzhong County tomorrow for a comprehensive examination." ”

Xiao Xiong is not blindly confident, and his judgment of the epidemic comes from his unique understanding of medicine, including the help he received from Xiaoxiong in his previous life.

Niu Sheng's physical signs are still worried, the reason is very simple, these days, Niu Sheng has been taking Xiao Xiong's traditional Chinese medicine, on the surface it seems that the condition has improved gratifyingly, but in fact, the epidemic may damage the patient's organs, which has a precedent, Xiao Xiong is very worried that Niu Sheng's organs have been affected by the epidemic.

"I feel better and don't have to go. "The cow's ecological degree is extremely bland, which is not in line with the blandness of his age, and it seems that he looks down on life and death.

"No, we have to go, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning. Xiao Xiong said with an undoubted look, he repeatedly told himself in his heart that Niu Sheng's physical condition must be thoroughly checked to ensure that Niu Sheng recovers, which can completely confirm that his judgment of the epidemic is correct.

Hongzhong County is more than 100 miles away from Pingshan County, the mountain road is difficult to walk, Xiao Xiong drove a Mitsubishi off-road vehicle, more than two hours by car, with the rising sun, with Niu Sheng to Hongzhong County.

Compared with Pingshan County, the degree of development here is several grades better, and it is also one of the top ten counties in GZ Province, so it will be upgraded to one of the few county-level cities.

At the Disease Control Center in Hongzhong County, Xiao Xiong explained his intention to the staff, and the other party was friendly and willing to cooperate with Xiao Xiong, and the all-round physical examination of Niu Sheng could start immediately.

Outside the door of the CT room, Niu Sheng was timid, stunned at the door and looked nervously at the hospital bed inside, as well as various electronic instruments that he had never seen before, and hesitated: "Can I not do the examination?"

Knowing that this was the child's instinctive fear of the unknown world, Xiao Xiong put his arm around Niu Sheng's shoulders, showed a calm smile, and said to Niu Sheng in an encouraging tone: "Don't be afraid, it's just a check, and it's going to be fine." ”

X-rays, abdominal tests, routine check-ups, blood tests, ...... All the tests took nearly two hours, and a doctor with a friendly expression sat in the consultation room and said to Xiao Xiong: "The results of the examination will not come out until tomorrow at the earliest, please wait patiently." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you. Xiao Xiong thanked him in a sincere tone and left the disease control center with Niu Sheng.

Niu Sheng had a confused look on his face, and after walking out of the hospital, he asked Xiao Xiong in a low voice, "Do we have to wait until tomorrow?"

"Well, don't worry, it should be fine, the results of the examination will come out tomorrow, and we will stay here tonight." Xiao Xiong looked at Niu Sheng with a calm expression.

At night, the county seat of Hongzhong County is very lively, the crowds are surging, all kinds of vendors are selling on both sides of the street, Xiao Xiong took Niu Sheng to visit the night market, after filling his stomach, Xiao Xiong suddenly felt more distressed in his heart, looking at Niu Sheng's thin body as a piece of paper, he secretly said in his heart, fate is too much to joke with him, how can a sixteen-year-old child bear it?

Xiao Xiong smiled, looked at Niu Sheng and proposed, "I'll take you to buy two new sets of clothes." ”

"I don't want to. Niu Sheng's refusal was very decisive, and he could hear the tough meaning, his eyes flashed with resoluteness, and he was unwilling to accept anyone's mercy and charity.

"Why?" Xiao Xiong was suddenly shocked, he couldn't believe it, Niu Sheng seemed to have a feeling of deliberately avoiding the crowd, and the withdrawn side of his personality was greatly affected by his family.

"I have clothes to wear, why do I have to buy them?" Niu Sheng said in a stubborn tone, lowered his head and muttered to himself, "I will buy it myself in the future." ”

Maybe it's too strong, or maybe it's because his self-esteem doesn't allow him to easily accept the good of others, Xiao Xiong watched Niu Sheng go away with stunned eyes, and secretly made a very important decision in his heart.

stepped forward and hugged Niu Sheng's shoulders, he was a little shorter than Xiao Xiong, Xiao Xiongxin smiled, as if he was his own brother, "That's it, I lent it to you, you accept it first, and then you will pay me back when you earn money and have a profit, okay?"

Niu Sheng was silent and did not speak, and the warmth in his heart that he was not aware of was secretly surging.

I found a two-story supermarket in the county, where you can find everything, food and clothing.

In the garment area on the second floor, Xiao Xiong walked around with great interest, choosing clothes for Niu Sheng.

Being able to leave the troubles of the epidemic behind him in a short period of time, Xiao Xiong sighed that it was really rare, picked out three sets of clothes with relatively high texture and price, Xiao Xiong bought some more food for Niu Sheng, and the two of them walked to the cash register.

Xiao Xiong took out his wallet, his eyes were embarrassed for an instant, there was not much cash in his wallet, he didn't know if it was enough to pay for these things, and then he took out a golden card and handed it to the waiter: "Swipe the card." ”

The waiter counted the goods with the scanning instrument, and said expressionlessly: "Five hundred and thirty-eight yuan and six cents." ”

After swiping the card and putting away the wallet, Xiao Xiong lifted the bag, looked at Niu Sheng and said, "Let's go." ”

Niu Sheng's face was full of curiosity and doubt, didn't Xiao Xiong give a penny to that girl, so he could go?

Growing up in that remote and isolated village, Niu Sheng, who is now 16 years old, didn't even know that there was such a thing as a bank card in the world, and he was inevitably surprised and confused by the behavior of swiping a card to pay.

"After curing my illness, are you leaving?" The gloomy emotion in his eyes, Niu Sheng's sudden words made Xiao Xiong stunned.

Xiao Xiong smiled lightly and replied, "Well, what's wrong?"

"Then what if my illness doesn't get better? are you still leaving?" Niu Sheng lowered his head, his voice lowered, he was not worried about his condition, but he had an indescribable reluctance in his heart.

"Don't worry, it will definitely be cured," Xiao Xiong asked with a firm and powerful voice and a cautious expression, "What do you want to do in the future?"

Niu Sheng bowed his head and was silent, no one had ever asked such a question, what would he do in the future? I don't know, he had never thought like this.
