57 Chapter 57
Chen Lou's days were busier after studying for a doctorate, and his tutor paid more and more attention to him, but he recommended him to go abroad for exchange in a year, Chen Lou applied for a passport for the first time, took an international flight, and saw whether it was daytime or daytime after arriving at the place before departure. When I came back after the exchange, my identity had risen, and I had a doctorate on my title.
In the past two years abroad, he has experienced various difficulties such as language barriers and encountering elites again, but fortunately, he gritted his teeth and overcame them one by one and made a lot of friends. Before returning to China, the group also held an activity, and the group signed up for a project through a global college student volunteer organization, and went to Africa with several friends from several other countries.
The group's activities are mainly concentrated in the Asian and African generations, and Chen Lou and his party participated in medical and health care projects, so they first arrived in South Africa, then passed through Namibia and then went all the way north. Chen Lou didn't care too much about the order of the follow, the only thing that caught his attention was that during his short stay in Cameroon, he seemed to have met an old man.
To this day, he is still unsure whether the man was the man, when the group had just witnessed a suicide attack and had been placed on the base of a Chinese company while they were making a fuss. The condition of this base is good, although it is all tin houses, but there is also a basketball court in the middle of the base. Chen Lou and a few friends were on the venue for a few minutes, and before they could warm up, they saw a Chinese official come over and ask for a joke that someone was playing on the base.
China is a malaria-free area, but Africa is high malaria. Chen Lou had prepared the medicine before he came, and he was going to pick it up at this time, only to be told that the other party had already used artemisinin and painkillers. Artemisinin does have a significant effect on this, but the side effects are also large. Chen Lou was a little worried, and he was going to go over to take a look after taking something. A friend who happened to be traveling with him saw it and hung a mask for him.
Chen Lou smiled helplessly, but he didn't insist, so he entered the patient's room with a mask crookedly.
The sick was lying on the bed, his brow furrowed, his skin dark, but the line of his chin was smooth, his nose was straight, and he was a rather handsome man.
When Chen Lou saw it for the first time, he thought, hey, the young man looks good.
When I saw it a second time, I hesitated: Why did this person look so much like whom?
He had been running forward for so long, and finally remembered that there was another person who had been reborn with him, and that the two had gone their separate ways five years ago, and now they were strangers.
Chen Lou didn't know if it was in the end, and when he left the next day, he heard that he was almost well, and he drove to Chiji to see another project in the morning. Chen Lou and his entourage were also in a hurry to leave, so they left a lot of mosquito repellent and mosquito repellent spray for the compatriots at the base. Chen Lou also gave the person in charge a lot of small pink pills malrone for backup, and wrote down the suitable population and the dosage for prevention and treatment.
They came and went in a hurry this time, but they didn't expect that who was really that person - Guan Yu returned to the base again at noon the next day. Originally, he just went to the office on the Chiji border to implement one thing, but when he came back, he met a mother and daughter who knew him, so he took the other party by the way.
Speaking of his acquaintance with the mother and daughter, it is also quite dramatic, when Guan Yu first set foot on the African land, no matter how mentally prepared he was, he was frightened, poverty, war, disease, prejudice...... Their base at that time was very strict, they could not act alone, they could not go out at night, the compound of the base was locked at six o'clock, and after nine o'clock, the yard began to put dogs and electrify the power grid of the courtyard wall.
Although Guan Yu invited himself to be dispatched, he did not yet have the consciousness of being sent to death, and he was busy with work every day and nested in the dormitory without work, until he suddenly fell ill with malaria on a trip.
He was alone that day, far from the base, with no one around him to call for help.
For a long time after he recovered, Guan Yu couldn't help but ask himself, if he changed places, would he see a stranger who was ill, like the black mother and daughter, to borrow a car to take him to the base?
The answer is no.
Although his family has not been in business for generations, he has been exposed to evil since he was a child, and he has a much stronger sense of risk than his peers, and his first reaction when he sees similar incidents is indeed how to protect himself and how to avoid revenge.
He once didn't understand Chen Lou's "kindness" and "blood", isn't the crowd of beggars a lack of government assistance? Shouldn't it be the responsibility of station personnel to correct queue cuts? Shouldn't pedestrians ask traffic police when asking for directions? Strangers who lost their wallets and can't go home and can't go to work, aren't there still policemen...... He sees himself as a taxpayer, and everything is based on inputs and outputs, responsibilities and obligations. Of course, I didn't think that there would always be loopholes in the system, people would always panic, and the government would always be unable to catch them......
And if everyone is really like him, maybe his fate this time is just a guest death, and the number after the "year-round" on the epitaph will not be too good.
Guan Yu was conflicted, so he began to travel around, he had seen the villas of the rich, been to the slums of Kibera, followed a team of volunteers to do two weeks of HIV promotion, and also went to the slave fort, and saw the "No Return Gate" and the "Forgive and Forget" signs.
He began to struggle to change the values he had developed over the past twenty years, as well as his subconscious self.
The process was very slow, and he had to discern what could be broken and what could never be moved. Fortunately, he did not delay his work - he quickly applied to the company to set up his own project department.
The economies of African countries vary greatly, but there are also many wealthy people. For example, the capital of Angola has far surpassed Hong Kong and other places in terms of consumption for several years. Most of these household goods are imported from Europe, and the prices are quite high. Guan Yu made a discovery when he traveled, so he came back and immediately made a detailed investigation report, from market statistics to feasibility analysis, risk estimation...... Probably their boss also had this ambition for a long time, and almost without any delay, he immediately approved it.
Up to now, the project has had a number of offices, and in the past few years, there are many capable people in the department. Guan Yu has risen steadily and has become a real project director. If it weren't for his insistence on staying in Africa, he would have been able to return to China to take up the cadre stock as an old cadre.
-
Guan Yu sent the mother and daughter home, and when they returned to the base, they were exhausted. After chatting with the person in charge here, the other party handed him a box of medicine.
Pink pills, Malalon. Guan Yu had seen Lao Mei with it, and remembered that the price was quite expensive, if it was equivalent to RMB, it would cost more than 30 yuan, and the dosage for a single person would be hundreds, and the first-line drugs in the base were all artemisinin, Guan Yu was surprised for a while, so he asked the person in charge where this medicine came from.
The other party said, "Didn't the volunteers come to spend the night yesterday, they sent it." He saw Guan Yu's eyes surprised, and said with a smile: "You were groggy yesterday, and the person who delivered the medicine went to see you." ”
Guan Yu actually had a cold yesterday, so he took anti-malarial medicine first to be on the safe side. However, he was not in a good state at the time, and he was groggy and hallucinated.
The person in charge said with a smile: "When you come out, you can see that you are still from your own country, Dr. Chen also left a lot of military mosquito repellent ointment for everyone, and he said that if he sets off from China, he will bring some cool oil and wind oil essence to the big guy." ”
"Well, then keep it," Guan Yu waved his hand to go back to rest, and after taking a step, he suddenly stopped, frowned and asked, "What did you just say?" ”
"Huh? I said it's better to be a Chinese? The person in charge said: "Dr. Chen is still Dr. Lou, and his friends call him Brother Lou's ......."
He continued to talk excitedly, but Guan Yu buzzed and couldn't hear anything.
There was a doctor surnamed Chen in the group who came yesterday, with a very good personality, left a lot of things for everyone, showed a few people on the construction site to see if there was anything wrong, and also compared two games with a few people on the basketball court. In addition, he also explained the usage and dosage of this pink pill, how to eat it when it is prevented, and how to eat it when he is sick.
The person in charge took out a sweat-stained piece of paper from his trouser pocket, shook it and unfolded it, and gave Guan Yu a look: "You see, they are all compatriots, but they are different, and they wrote it down for us, but this word is not easy to recognize." ”
A few lines of words dancing with dragons and phoenixes, and occasionally a few English letters like dogs. Chen Lou's calligraphy has not grown for so many years, but Guan Yu only glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly swelled and ached, he raised his arm violently and pressed his eyes, without saying a word.
The person in charge realized that something was wrong and looked at him. Guan Yu put down his arm in just a moment, took the paper, coughed vigorously twice, and said, "I know." ”
These three words are ordinary, but the person in charge feels that they are so proud of it. He couldn't help but repeat curiously: "Do you know?" He asked about words.
Who knew that Guan Yu was silent for a while, and whispered: "An old man." ”
This doctor's order was copied by Guan Yu and left it for the staff of the base, along with those expensive small pills. He carried the sweat-stained, sour, crumpled manuscript in his arms, and the next day he chased all the way to the destination of the volunteers.
He chased all the way to Botswana, and then along the way to the Zimbabwe organization camp, only to learn that his route was contrary to the pedestrian. Chen Lou: They started from here, if nothing else, they are likely to be in Kenya now, ready to leave. Guan Yu walked all the way to the things on his body or was lost or robbed, and he was tired and scarred, but he didn't dare to delay at all and went on the road again.
However, when he arrived in Kenya, the other party had already finished his trip and left yesterday.
On the streets of Nairobi, jacaranda and phoenix trees are purple and red, petals fall when the wind blows, and one-man-tall cacti and aloe vera are alive. There are also groups of police officers patrolling the streets with AKs.
Guan Yu lame, found a step to sit down, and thought, "It's so ugly, it's so hot, it's really messy here." ”
After a while, I thought: He didn't set off from China, so did he go to study abroad? Is he a doctor now? Are you still single now?
When he saw himself that day, he ...... Did you say anything?
