After nearly an hour of bumps, the bus finally arrived at the terminal Qiya Town, but Lu Tianyu's destination on this trip, Xuanli Village, is still more than ten miles away from Qiya Town.

Along the rugged mountain road, Lu Tianyu took a step and walked deep into the mountains. Looking at the mountains on both sides and looking at the endless green, Lu Tianyu suddenly had an illusion that he had arrived home!

After walking for more than an hour, after asking a few passers-by, Lu Tianyu finally came to Xuanli Village, looking at the dilapidated small mountain village in front of him, Lu Tianyu's first feeling was shabby.

The village is not big, there are only more than 30 households, all of them are low and dilapidated small bungalows, as for the materials of the houses, they are all kinds of things, there are bricks, there are wood, and there are even a few families that are adobe houses.

Before coming, Lu Tianyu had inquired and learned that Xuanli Village was the poorest place in Wushan County, and what he saw in front of him really verified this, just from the houses where the villagers lived, this Xuanli Village was even poorer than his hometown Qingshui Village.

Lu Tianyu walked into the village, the village was quiet, there was not even a dog, only a few big roosters foraging everywhere added vitality to the village.

Lu Tianyu walked all the way, only to see that the doors of every house were locked, and he couldn't even find anyone to ask, so he finally walked to the end of the village, and finally saw a family with the door open, and there was a crackling sound inside.

Lu Tianyu took a closer look and saw a white-haired old man bending over and holding an axe. Laboriously chopping a few arm-thick pieces of firewood.

"Uncle. Hello. I want to ask you about someone......" Lu Tianyu asked loudly.

Hearing someone ask, the old man put down the axe in his hand, turned around, and after seeing Lu Tianyu's appearance clearly, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted happily: "Doctor Lu, you are Doctor Lu, right?" What are you doing here? ”

Lu Tianyu was also stunned, he never expected it. There is such a coincidental thing in the world, and the old man in front of him is the old man he is looking for.

After some greetings, Lu Tianyu clarified his intention, "Uncle, I don't know if Xiao Niuniu's stomach still hurts?" ”

"It doesn't hurt anymore. Speaking of which, Dr. Lu, I really want to thank you, if it weren't for your excellent medical skills, my Niu Niu wouldn't know what to do with this stomachache? ”

Lu Tianyu smiled and continued to ask, "Uncle." I wonder if there are other children in the village who also suffer from stomach pain? ”

Old Man Niu frowned and thought for a while. opened his mouth and said: "Doctor Lu, when you say this, it reminds me that there seem to be a lot of dolls with stomach aches in the village. Last night, Cui Yue, a little girl in the village, seemed to be sent to the town hospital because of stomach pain; There is also the little hairy head next door, who has just entered the first grade of primary school, and often complains of stomach pain; By the way, there is also the baby of the old Li family, who is only a little more than six years old, and often mutters about stomach pain......"

Niu Laohan thought about it and said, after a while, he said the names of five or six children, the symptoms were all similar, the stomach pain that occurred from time to time, but it was not too violent, it was as short as a few minutes, as long as a few hours, and then it was no longer painful.

Lu Tianyu's face was solemn, and he secretly thought in his heart: "It seems that my speculation should be eight or nine, and the children in Xuanli Village may generally suffer from ascariasis." ”

Thinking of this, Lu Tianyu asked again: "Uncle, can you do me a favor?" ”

"Doctor Lu, you are too polite, you are my family's great benefactor, what do you need, just say it." Niu Laohan said very boldly.

"It's not a big deal, I just want to meet these children who often have stomach pains, and I don't know if it's convenient or not?"

"Oh, Doctor Lu, it's really unfortunate that you came, all the people in the village went to the town to catch the market today, and they haven't come back yet."

"No wonder, I said that when I entered the village, there was no one in every house. By the way, uncle, why don't you go to the market? ”

"Hey, I'm old and my legs are not good, so I won't join in the fun. Besides, I'm going to deliver food to Niu Niu in a while. ”

"Uncle, doesn't the elementary school where Niu Niu attends serve lunch?" Lu Tianyu asked curiously.

"Niuniu is not used to lunch at school, and his illness is just right, I am afraid that his old problem of stomach pain will happen again, so I will send him food in the next few days."

"Oh, I see. Uncle, then I'll help you chop wood and cook. Lu Tianyu said.

"How can this be? You're a valued guest, how can I let you work? Niu Laohan hurriedly said.

"Uncle, it's not in the way, I'm idle anyway, besides, I'm good at chopping wood and cooking." As he spoke, Lu Tianyu had already picked up the axe on the ground, picked up his arm, and split a hard piece of firewood in half with just one stroke.

With Lu Tianyu's help, Niu Laohan made his grandson's lunch in a short time, although the meal was very simple, only one fried greens, plus two taels of rice, but it was full of grandpa's deep love.

Lu Tianyu carried a lunch box and Niu Laohan, and the two of them walked on the rugged mountain road and walked towards the Gaoshan Primary School where Niu Niu studied.

Gaoshan Primary School is about five or six miles away from Xuanli Village, halfway up the mountainside, where children from three or four nearby villages are studying, and there are about 50 children in six grades.

Seeing the row of dilapidated classrooms with ventilation on all sides, as well as the uneven dirt playground, and the children's patched and obviously ill-fitting clothes, Lu Tianyu couldn't imagine that in the economically developed province J, there was still a primary school with such difficult conditions.

For a moment, he seemed to be back to his childhood, to his elementary school days, and that period of time was also spent in such harsh environmental conditions.

When Xiao Niu Niu saw Lu Tianyu, he was so happy, he pulled someone's clothes vigorously, asking this and that, as if there were endless questions, if it weren't for Lu Tianyu repeatedly reminding him that the food was almost cold, it is estimated that he would have forgotten about his hunger.

Taking advantage of this free time, Lu Tianyu carefully observed the children of Gaoshan Primary School, these children should be only six or seven years old, and the eldest is estimated to be about ten years old, although they are different in height, but they have a common characteristic, that is, they have thin faces and thin muscles, thin bodies, and all of them are ribs.

"Hey, it seems that these children's usual nutrition can't keep up!" Lu Tianyu sighed in his heart. (To be continued......)
