Chapter 17: Dr. Xing (9)
"He won't give me medical records, but according to him, there should be more than just two of you in the village who have a rash. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Cen Xiao's tone was quite calm, and he strode towards the village under his feet, "He said that he had checked and there was no sign of infectious disease. But I didn't believe him, I checked on the Internet, he is not qualified to practice medicine, but I don't want to conflict with him, so I didn't say it. ”
"Well, Dr. Xing is a person who cares more about his reputation. To be honest, when he was a child, he always insisted that I call him Dr. Xing, which is now agreeable. Bai Yuelu replied, "Then what are you going to do next?" ”
"I'm going to go to every house to see who else has the same symptoms, and then draw a map to see if there is a pattern of infectious diseases." Cen Xiao's tone was calm, but he was striding towards the village under his feet.
"Or I'll go." Bai Yuelu's voice sounded a little embarrassed, "You know they've been dealing with you lately... Some bias. ”
Cen Xiao chuckled, "Don't worry, it's not the first time." What they think of me is their business, human life matters, you go and keep an eye on the receiver, be careful not to blow it up again. ”
"Hmm. There was another peak in energy fluctuations, but it was much smaller than before. I estimate that it loses a lot of energy from long-distance space travel, so the energy value is so low when it reaches Earth. ”
"Be careful, this thing seems to be able to absorb energy and repair itself. Wait a while to do an experiment on it and see what different frequencies of electromagnetic waves do to it. ”
"Okay, then I'll prepare the equipment, and you should pay attention to your own safety. At this point, we should have ruled out bodily fluids and airborne transmission, but caution is advancing. ”
"I know, hang it up, we don't know if it will escape along the communication frequency." After that, Cen Xiao hung up the walkie-talkie.
I looked at Cen Xiao's light, a tall and thin man, holding a walkie-talkie, standing on the main road of Wangxing Village in amazement, like a hesitant sculpture. She looked around a few times, and I could almost hear her brain racing, thinking about how to divide Wangxing Village into several areas, and how to most efficiently investigate. Finally, she chose a direction and took a step forward with her feet raised. The light gradually dimmed along the tips of her toes, until she disappeared into the white sunlight of one or two o'clock in the afternoon.
So I was the only one left, standing on the empty concrete road, and for a while I felt that my brain was a little insufficient. Could it be that Cen Xiao and the others had noticed something spreading in Wangxing Village early on? Could it be that Dr. Xing also found out? So why did they wait until the situation was serious? and the part in the small pharmacy just now, why I inexplicably feel that Dr. Xing's attitude towards her is not very enthusiastic, and there always seems to be some resistance in it.
There was also the words of the unknown patient in front of her when he was leaving, and Bai Yuelu's worry. What kind of conflict did Cen Xiao, an outsider, have with the villagers of Wangxing Village?
There is an even more terrifying point, during the call between Bai Yuelu and Cen Xiao, I heard a 'it'. 'It' has traveled far away to Earth to come to Earth, and 'it' is able to absorb energy to repair itself. Is the "it" here the kind of extraterrestrial matter I heard them discuss at the beginning? What exactly did they receive in the astronomical observatory?
But what made me even more frightened was that Cen Xiao was worried that 'it' would escape through short-wave frequencies. It's a terrible thing. Because if this kind of substance can be transferred through electromagnetic waves, then basically speaking, it can run to every corner of the world along all electromagnetic wave transmitting and receiving devices such as telephone lines and networks.
At this time, I vaguely realized why in the end, Village Chief Chen could not get through to the call for help.
I didn't know where to go, so I had to go back to Dr. Xing's small pharmacy with a heavier and heavier heart.
Dr. Xing's slender figure was still sitting there, holding his forehead with one hand, and there was a rectangular layer of light the size of A4 on the table in front of him, which should be the medical records scattered there. He vigorously flipped through the medical records one by one, and muttered in his mouth: "What do you think of my old doctor for so many years... In the rivers and lakes, is it swaggering and cheating? Really... Will I not be able to see dermatitis? Ridiculous..."
I saw him squint and pick out one from the pile of medical records, look at them carefully, and put them in the stack at hand.
It seems that although he was dissatisfied, he did not ignore Cen Xiao's words, but decided to verify them himself. I guess that's why he put the medical records in a folder later. I watched him hang his head and think for a while, then I took out his little notebook and recorded the names on the medical records that had been screened out one by one, there were about twelve or three.
Then he sighed, shook his head, and tucked the notebook into his pocket. I saw him pull out a piece of light in the shape of a sticky note paper, as if he was holding a pen and writing something, and then pulled out the tape from the drawer and pasted the sticky note on the door of the pharmacy. Then there was the sound of a lock, and then his lanky figure staggered out the door, disappearing into the sunlight.
It seems that Dr. Xing told a lie just now, and before that, he did not suspect that there was an epidemic of infectious diseases in Wangxing Village, or went to check it. But why did he hide it from Cen Xiao? Is he really strictly following the ethics of doctors and refusing to disclose patients' privacy to outsiders, or is it just for the sake of face?
Why is Dr. Xing, who seems to be very friendly to people on weekdays, so wary of Cen Xiao? What kind of discord is there between these two people?
Only then did I remember the search that had been interrupted halfway through, so I hurriedly ran back to Xing Shiming's bookshelf and carefully pulled out his "Epidemiology 1952 Edition" with a gray army green cover and a very old look. Flipping it open, there is a line of slightly faded blue ink handwriting on the first page, which has been somewhat blurred:
"Xing Shiming, Department of Medicine, Shandong University"
It turns out that he really went to medical school! This discovery immediately overturned my assumption that he was just a rural pharmacy apprentice. However, although he went to medical school, he did not have a medical license, which is two possibilities: first, he once went to medical school, but for some reason did not complete his studies or did not get a certificate; Second, it is also possible that he completed his studies, but did not embark on the path of clinical medicine after graduation, such as not being admitted, or becoming a medical representative, so he did not have a medical practitioner qualification certificate.
So I hurriedly used my wristband to contact the headquarters and asked them to help me check Xing Shiming's records at Shandong University, his work records, and see if there would be any relevant information about him in all medical-related qualification examinations, including the examination for the licensed pharmacist qualification certificate.
At the moment, I was like a headless fly, desperately trying to grasp even the slightest clue. The mystery of Wangxing Village is like a huge thick fog, alien creatures, flu, mysterious infectious disease epidemics, and disappearing villagers, everything seems to be inextricably linked, but the intertwined clues are hidden in the fog, so I can't see it clearly, and I can't grasp it.
In fact, when the leader gave me this task, I should have noticed that something was wrong.
