After staying in the hotel for one night, at about eight o'clock the next morning, Wang Yunlong checked out, bought a few steamed buns and a bottle of milk at a steamed bun shop near the hotel, hailed a taxi to the train station, and sat in the car to finish breakfast.

I don't know if Wang Yunlong's luck is good or bad, he arrived at the train station, queued up for a while, and bought a bullet train ticket to his hometown in western Zhejiang an hour later.

However, shortly after Wang Yunlong bought the ticket, he received a call from a Red Cross staff member who learned that his bone marrow had been matched with the bone marrow of a leukemia patient and asked him to donate hematopoietic stem cells.

Wang Yunlong didn't think much about it and agreed to donate bone marrow.

After chatting a few words, Wang Yunlong hung up the phone, looked at the train ticket in his hand, looked at the queue to buy tickets, and shouted: "I have a bullet train ticket here to go to West Zhejiang City in an hour, I can't use it myself, give it away for free, who wants it?" ”

Several people looked at Wang Yunlong with a little curiosity, and after a while, a man in his thirties smiled and said, "I want it." ”

"This big brother, are you from western Zhejiang?" Wang Yunlong asked.

"yes!" The man who asked for the train ticket took out his wallet from his pocket and took out his ID card, "You can look at my ID card." ”

Wang Yunlong took a closer look at the other party's ID card, and saw that it was a fellow villager, so he directly gave the ticket in his hand to the other party.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Wang Yunlong smiled slightly, turned around and left directly.

Leaving the train station, Wang Yunlong took the bus back to school.

When Wang Yunlong returned to the dormitory, Liu Zaochun, Zhao Liqiang and Yu Chenxing's three roommates were all sitting at the computer desk playing games.

"Yunlong, you're back!" Liu Zaochun, the oldest in the dormitory, greeted with a smile.

"I'm back." Wang Yunlong smiled and said, "In the past few days, you haven't gone out to play?" ”

"We went shopping together yesterday." Zhao Liqiang, who was a month older than Wang Yunlong, said with a smile, "Yunlong, when you travel to Huangshan, have you bought local souvenirs?" ”

"Didn't buy it. Today's lunch, and dinner, I'm in for a treat. Wang Yunlong said with a smile.

"Long live the third brother!" Yu Chenxing, the youngest, said with a smile.

"Don't say hooray, I have something to ask you for help in the next few days." Wang Yunlong smiled.

"What's the matter?" Liu Zaochun asked.

"Originally, I was going to go home for a few days today, but before getting on the train, I received a call from the Red Cross, saying that my bone marrow was matched with a leukemia patient, and asked me to donate hematopoietic stem cells.

"Really?" Yu Chenxing asked curiously.

"What's there to fool you about. Tonight, I will go to Huashan Hospital and stay in a hotel near the hospital at night. ”

"Do you need to spend money to stay in a hotel?" Yu Chenxing asked again.

"No, the Red Cross staff said it was free." Wang Yunlong said.

"The wool is not out of the sheep yet." Zhao Liqiang said.

"In order to make the leukemia patient spend less money, I don't live in the hotel and go back to the dormitory." Wang Yunlong smiled.

"I don't think it's necessary!" Zhao Liqiang shook his head and said, "Even if you don't stay in a hotel, it is unlikely that leukemia patients can save money." ”

"That's it......" Wang Yunlong muttered, thought for a moment, and said, "When you get to the hospital in the evening, I'll ask for details." ”

Wang Yunlong turned on his computer and went online to check some information about donating bone marrow.

Before eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Chenxing shouted that he was hungry and wanted to go to lunch.

"Let's go, let's go eat." Wang Yunlong stood up and said with a smile, "Let's not go outside, eat the stir-fry in the small cafeteria." ”

"Can I drink?" Yu Chenxing asked with a smile.

"You can drink if you want, I'm going to donate bone marrow, it's not good to drink." Wang Yunlong said.

After Wang Yunlong had lunch, he and his roommates went back to the dormitory and stayed in the dormitory for an afternoon, and at about 4 p.m., he received another call from the Red Cross staff, and he asked a lot of questions, and many of them were answered.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yunlong and his roommates said, "Tonight, I don't have to go to the hospital, but I will be at the hospital at six o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

"I'll go with you!" Liu Zaochun said.

"Okay, I'm sorry for Boss Liu." Wang Yunlong said with a smile.

"You're welcome." Liu Zaochun smiled slightly, glanced at Wang Yunlong a few times, and asked, "You received a call from the Red Cross, and you agreed to donate bone marrow without thinking about it?" ”

"What's there to think about here. I had already thought about it before I signed up as a bone marrow donor volunteer. ”

On October 6, at half past five in the morning, Wang Yunlong was woken up by the alarm clock in his mobile phone, and Liu Zaochun also woke up.

Liu Zaochun woke up and got up, and said to Wang Yunlong with a smile: "Yunlong, get up, brush your teeth, and wash your face!" ”

Wang Yunlong smiled and said, "Boss Liu, be quiet, although we are going to do good deeds, don't wake up the two of them." ”

"It's okay to wake up." Zhao Liqiang opened his worried eyes, turned over, lay on his side, and looked at Wang Yunlong with a smile.

"Third brother, come on!" Yu Chenxing also woke up and said with a smile.

"It's rare for four of us in the dormitory to wake up so early." Wang Yunlong said with a smile

Last night, Wang Yunlong went to bed early, and the three roommates also turned off the computer early and went to bed in order to make him sleep better.

After washing, Wang Yunlong and Liu Zaochun left the dormitory together, and just after leaving the school gate, they met a taxi passenger who had just gotten out of the car, and Wang Yunlong immediately reached out to stop the car.

"Do you want to ask the Red Cross for reimbursement of the rental money?" Liu Zaochun asked jokingly.

"If you can be reimbursed, you will be reimbursed." Wang Yunlong smiled, "Although I usually have a lot of living expenses, my money is not blown by the wind, and I can save it." ”

At about six o'clock, Wang Yunlong and Liu Zaochun came to the hospital together, contacted him by phone, and found the doctor who received him, and the doctor took blood from Wang Yunlong and prepared to conduct the final test, as long as the test passed, he could basically donate hematopoietic stem cells.

Two days later, on October 8, Wang Yunlong came to the hospital again and began to take mobilizers, which required two injections a day for three consecutive days, one in the morning and one in the evening for the first two days.

The purpose of the mobilization agent is to accelerate the secretion of stem cells in the human body, after the mobilization agent, the human body will have some reactions, such as muscle soreness, back pain, leg pain, etc., Wang Yunlong's physique is very good, his reaction is very small, and he does not feel uncomfortable.

During the injection, Wang Yunlong felt a lot, he saw a lot of patients with blood diseases in the hospital, and there were many young people, he saw the mother of an 11-year-old patient crying in the corridor because of her child's illness and high medical expenses, and the heartache scene of jumping off the building.

Some patients knew that Wang Yunlong knew that he was a donation volunteer, and they all came to express their gratitude, although Wang Yunlong did not save them.

On October 11, this afternoon, Wang Yunlong began to donate hematopoietic stem cells, in the morning and at noon, he took a mobilization agent, took blood to test the density of stem cells, and after confirming that there was no problem, he went to the collection room.

That afternoon, Zhao Liqiang and Yu Chenxing skipped class and came to the hospital to accompany Wang Yunlong.

Before Wang Yunlong entered the collection room, Yu Chenxing asked with a smile, "Third brother, are you nervous?" ”

"I'm a little nervous." Wang Yunlong smiled.

"Are you afraid of danger?" Zhao Liqiang asked.

"I'm not afraid of this, I'm afraid that after I donate hematopoietic stem cells, I won't be able to save that patient." Wang Yunlong sighed.

After entering the collection room, Wang Yunlong lay on the bed, and after the nurse's sister finished pricking the needle, she gave him a ball and asked him to hold it in his hand and pinch it to invigorate blood.

Nowadays, with the development of science and technology and the advancement of medicine, there is no need to extract bone marrow from the spine to donate hematopoietic stem cells.

Wang Yunlong took blood from his left arm and put it into the machine for stem cell isolation, and then the blood and saline and other liquids were infused back into his body from his right arm, and the whole process took three and a half hours.

During the blood draw, Wang Yunlong lost a large amount of calcium in his body, and there was a feeling of numbness around his lips, and the doctor would give him a bag of infusion containing active calcium, and he had to prick a needle, but this time it was the same as an ordinary infusion, prick the back of his hand.

After pulling out all the needles, Wang Yunlong rushed to the bathroom for convenience, he infused a lot of fluid, and held a lot of urine in his bladder.

Wang Yunlong came out of the bathroom, saw the three roommates chatting with laughter, and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Liu Zaochun said with a smile: "We just said that you should not hide your bone marrow donation from the school, let the school leaders know about it, and you may become an excellent graduate." ”

"I'm Lei Feng, who does good deeds without leaving a name." Wang Yunlong joked, and after sitting on the bed, he turned to say, "I have to talk to the counselor, I plan to take a few days of sick leave and go back to my hometown to recuperate for a few days." ”

Yu Chenxing smiled and said: "Third brother, you don't need to go back to your hometown, you just stay in the dormitory to recuperate, what do you want to eat, I'll help you run errands." ”

Wang Yunlong insisted: "My family runs a restaurant, and when I go home, I can eat better." ”

Zhao Liqiang asked, "When are you leaving?" ”

Wang Yunlong said: "I plan to go home tomorrow and book tickets online at night. ”
