Mountains and mountains, gentle mountain winds, small bridges and flowing water, birds in the forest, who can associate it with death and viruses in such an environment?

It has been a month since the "ghost burning" virus was discovered. It has been half a month since Ling Xiao entered Hongxiagou, but he hasn't even found the source of the virus. Every time he thought about this, his heart was heavy.

However, with Tang Meiyu accompanying him and talking and chatting with him along the way, his mood was not much worse even if it was bad.

After walking for a long time, Ling Xiao and Tang Meiyu rushed to Xiama Village.

There are three villages in Hongxiagou, Xiama Village is located in the innermost part of the canyon, the road is the most difficult to walk, the population is the least, and the economic conditions are also the worst. However, the scenery of Xiama Village is also the most beautiful, the end of the village to the west is an endless snow-capped mountain, it is early autumn, the sun shines and you can also see the white snow covering the top of the mountain, pure, glowing, like a dream.

"It's such a beautiful snow-capped mountain, I really want to climb over those snow-capped mountains, climb to the highest peak, and see the scenery behind the snow-capped mountains." Looking at the snow-capped mountains, Tang Meiyu's eyes were full of yearning.

Ling Xiao said with a smile: "In our Goddess Village, you can also see these snow-capped mountains in the morning and evening when the weather is good, but this place is more real and closer. Behind these snow-capped mountains is the grassland of Tibet, as far as the eye can see, herds of cattle and sheep, patches of alfalfa flowers, and galloping horses, which are very beautiful. ”

"Have you been?" Tang Meiyu's eyes were suddenly full of respect for Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao sneered, "I saw it on the map." ”

Tang Meiyu, "......"

The village chief of Xiamazhai is surnamed Lu, named Lu Dayou, and he is a very amiable middle-aged man. According to Ling Xiao's request, he made the villagers anxious, lined up in the village headquarters, and asked Ling Xiao to check his body and receive a minor illness pill.

To check the body of the villagers, Ling Xiao still used the means he learned in the "Yellow Emperor's Outer Classics", the internal force to probe the pulse, this method is more effective than the advanced instruments of those big hospitals, and he diagnoses the pulse, whether a villager is sick or not, whether he is infected by the virus, he can grasp the most real situation at once. There is also a chance of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis, but it is pitiful. Therefore, he looked at every villager very carefully, for fear of missing or misdiagnosing one.

Tang Meiyu was also busy, helping Ling Xiao to greet the villagers to line up and appease the anxious villagers in the back. Sometimes she uses her DSLR camera to take some valuable photos, and sometimes she uses her phone to take a few low-resolution photos, write text content, and post them on Weibo.

In this diagnosis, there were only two new infected people, named Hu Tiangui and Hu Tianfu, who were brothers, one was 38 years old and the other was 36 years old, both hunters in Xiama Village. Usually, the brothers like to go hunting in the forest with a shotgun, or go to the grassland to dig Cordyceps in the snowy mountains. The brothers are in very good health, and it is rare to take medicine once a year, but they didn't expect that such a strong hunter would be infected by the "ghost burn" virus.

As soon as they were diagnosed, the two brothers, Hu Tiangui and Hu Tianfu, were isolated and lived in an empty house in the village.

In order to reduce the channels of transmission of the virus, patients who are diagnosed will be quarantined. The brothers Hu Tiangui and Hu Tianfu were locked in an isolation room, and even their families could only talk through the above window when they came to visit them.

Ling Xiao stood out the window and looked at the Hu brothers, his heart was very heavy.

The brothers Hu Tiangui and Hu Tianfu were very anxious, and they were usually not afraid of blind bears, but this time the brothers were paralyzed by fright, their faces were pale, and they didn't even have the energy to speak.

"Doctor Ling, are you sure? I'm just having a headache and fever, how can I get a ghost burn? I am such a strong person, I can run on the snowy mountains for a day with my bare arms, and those who are much weaker than me have not been infected, how can I be infected? Hu Tiangui looked flustered, and his lips trembled when he spoke.

Hu Tiangui's younger brother Hu Tianfu also said: "Yes, Doctor Ling, you can diagnose our brothers again, are you seeing too many patients and making a wrong diagnosis?" ”

Ling Xiao sighed, "I've already diagnosed you three times, and it won't be wrong." Do not be afraid, you will get through it. ”

"Survive a fart!" Hu Tiangui's spirit showed some signs of collapse, "Lao Tzu doesn't believe it!" I'm so young, I haven't done anything bad, God won't do this to me, you must have misdiagnosed! ”

"That's right! I don't believe it either! You lied to us! Hu Tianfu's emotions also became excited.

The tone of the Hu brothers was not friendly at all, and their attitude was also very bad, but Ling Xiao couldn't be angry with them. No one was able to calm down after knowing that they were terminally ill, and he understood their feelings.

"Hu Tiangui, Hu Tianfu, what are you brothers fierce? You were infected with ghost burns and it wasn't Dr. Ling who infected you, Dr. Ling gave us medicine for diagnosis and medicine, and confiscated a penny, you are not grateful and scolding, do you still have a conscience? Lu Dayou, the village chief of Xiama Village, was not happy and taught the Hu brothers a lesson.

"It's okay, there's nothing to do, I understand their feelings." Ling Xiao said.

"Doctor Ling, you don't have to be polite to them, these two guys have too bad tempers. You can understand it, but I can't get used to it. Really, you two are honestly here to wait for further confirmation from the expert group before receiving treatment. Lu Dayou locked the isolation room.

"Lu Dayou, what are you doing? Why do you lock the door? Let us go! Hu Tiangui slapped the door panel in panic, making a clanging sound.

"Lu Dayou, your baby will open the door for Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will come out and kill you!" Hu Tianfu also panicked and was very frightened.

Lu Dayou said: "I can't complain about this, if you want to complain, you can complain about the lives of your brothers." If I let you out, you may feel better, but have you ever thought about it, what if it infects your mother-in-law and baby? You are infected with the ghost burn, that is your life, you can admit it, for the safety of your family, stay here for the time being. ”

The Hu brothers were suddenly angry, one was leaning against the wall, the other was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, and the brothers were in a trance and in pain.

"Doctor Ling, if you want to treat them, come to the village chief's office and ask me for the key, I'll go there first." Lu Dayou is gone.

Ling Xiao and Tang Meiyu remained in front of the window of the isolation room, looking at Hu Tiangui and Hu Tianfu with sympathy.

"Doctor Ling, you give us the truth, can we still be saved?" Hu Tiangui looked at Ling Xiao, and the big man's eyes were filled with tears.

Perhaps he was infected by Hu Tiangui and Hu Tianfu, the corners of Ling Xiao's eyes were actually a little moist, and he thought for a while before saying, "After the efforts of the expert group, the current ghost burning virus is no longer as terrible as it was at the beginning...... There is still hope for you. ”

"How much hope?" Hu Tianfu looked at Ling Xiao with longing.

In fact, hope is a very vague concept, it can be 90% hope, or it may not even be 10%. Ling Xiao said that there was hope, but he just wanted to comfort the Hu family brothers, and if he really wanted him to say that there was a lot of hope, he couldn't say it. said it, but couldn't do it, and the Hu family brothers would feel worse at that time. However, if you say it directly, the Hu brothers may not be able to accept it and collapse prematurely. How can I say that?

"Doctor Ling, what hope do you say?" Hu Tiangui said anxiously.

"Fifty percent." Ling Xiao said, "However, I need you to cooperate with me. ”

"What do you want us to do?" Hearing Ling Xiao say that there was fifty percent hope, Hu Tiangui suddenly became excited.

"Well, I'd like to know about you first." Ling Xiao said.

"Just ask, and we'll tell you everything." Hu Tianfu hurriedly said.

"My first question, you didn't pick up my little sick pill, did you?" Ling Xiao asked.

Hu Tianfu said: "No, my mother-in-law and my baby have received it." ”

"Why don't you take it?" Ling Xiao asked.

"This month, my brother and I are digging Cordyceps on the grassland behind the snowy mountains, and we only came back the day before yesterday. I thought I was strong and resistant, and I wouldn't be infected, but I didn't expect that I would start to have a headache and fever the night before, and I was diagnosed by you until today......" Hu Tianfu said here, and said that he didn't want to go.

Ling Xiao's heart moved, and he vaguely felt that he had captured some inspiration, and he asked Hu Tiangui slightly excitedly, "Is this also the case for you?" ”

Hu Tiangui nodded.

"Okay, let me ask you a second question, where have you been walking around since you got home?" Ling Xiao asked again.

"I didn't go anywhere else, my brother and I are door to door, we both live at the end of Xiamazhai Village, not far from the Snow Mountain. When I came back from digging Cordyceps this time, my brother and I were sorting out the mountain goods, preparing to sell them at the market outside the mountain with Cordyceps. If my mother-in-law hadn't insisted that I come to the village today, I wouldn't have come here. Hu Tianfu said.

The glimmer of catching some kind of inspiration in Ling Xiao's heart became even stronger, and he asked again: "So, you mean that before the outbreak of the Ghost Burning Body Virus, you went to the Great Snow Mountain, and then came back and didn't go anywhere else, is that the case?" ”

Hu Tiangui and Hu Tianfu nodded in unison.

"Brother Hu, in this way, can you tell me about the places you have been to and what you have experienced in the past month, okay?"

Hu Tiangui said, "Doctor Ling, why are you asking this?" ”

Hu Tianfu also said: "Yes, what does this have to do with curing? ”

Ling Xiao said: "Two big brother Hu, this is very important, please tell me, otherwise I won't be able to save you." ”

Tang Meiyu on the side also felt something, she looked at Ling Xiao excitedly, "Ling Xiao, have you found anything?" ”

Ling Xiao nodded, "I feel a little bit, but I'm not sure yet, I'll go back and tell you." After a pause, he said again: "Two Brother Hu, please tell me where you have been and what you have done in the past month, okay?" ”

Hu Tiangui and Hu Tianfu glanced at each other.

Thinking about it for a while, Hu Tiangui looked at the snow-capped mountains outside the window, and slowly said, "A month ago, my brother and I ......"

Ling Xiao took out his notepad and listened and memorized it.

Tang Meiyu was afraid that he had missed something, so she also took out her mobile phone, opened the recording software, and recorded the narration of the two brothers, Hu Tiangui and Hu Tianfu, word for word.
