Yurong obeyed her brother's arrangement, she hid in her brother's mansion to recuperate with peace of mind, and the palace was calm for more than a month. In the past month or so, General Feng Xuanxia's troops annihilated a wing of the Japanese army on the battlefield of Inner Mongolia. The North China Theater Command of the Japanese Army hated Feng Xuanxia to the core, and how did the Japanese know that General Feng's wife was hiding under their noses to recuperate.

In order to cure Yurong's illness, Wang Yunqing used a lot of money to invite a well-known old Chinese medicine doctor from outside to see Yurong at home. Wang Yunqing saw that his sister was getting thinner and thinner and almost bedridden, he was anxious, but he was helpless, and the old Chinese medicine doctor told him that Yurong was terminally ill.

Brother and sister love is deep, Wang Yunqing must not lose his good sister, if he can't cure Yurong's illness, he feels sorry for his sister, and even more sorry for his brother-in-law who fought desperately with the Japanese army on the battlefield.

Just when Wang Yunqing was at a loss because Yurong's illness did not improve, Yurong's heart was also very anxious. Since Wang Yunqing invited a Chinese medicine doctor to see Yu Rong, Yu Rong felt that her condition was not improving but becoming heavier, she felt that the old Chinese medicine doctor could not cure her disease, if she continued to spend like this, there was only one way to die, she decided to go to Youren Hospital to see a Western doctor. She called Wang Yunqing to the hospital bed and said, "Big brother, since my illness has not improved, I don't think we should have any worries, you will take me out in the next few days, I will go to Youren Hospital to find an American doctor named Smith, he is a friend I made when I was in the YMCA, and he is very skilled in medicine, see if he can cure my illness." ”

"Yurong, you can't show up in Beiping, your body is weak, I think it's better for you to stay in bed at home to recuperate, I'll find a Western doctor to come to your home to see you, okay?"

"Big brother. Please! You must let me go to Yuren Hospital to see a doctor. The standard of medical care in this hospital is high. I'm not old yet, and I still want to be a white-headed couple with Xuanxia, so I don't want to die! I'll try as long as there is a glimmer of hope. It's better if Smith can cure my illness, but if he can't cure my illness, I'll die without regrets! ”

Wang Yunqing felt that what Yurong said was reasonable, and in order to save Yurong's life, he agreed. To be on the safe side, he decided to contact Dr. Smith himself.

Early the next morning, Wang Yunqing came to Youren Hospital, where he met Dr. Smith. Smith is blonde and burly. He speaks fluent Chinese and is kind to people. When Wang Yunqing mentioned that Wang Yurong was his sister, Smith remembered this woman after a little thought. "Oh, I remember, Ms. Wang is a friend I made when I was working at the YMCA, and that was more than ten years ago. I had the impression that she was a very traditional and well-bred Chinese woman, who had both a fascinating oriental charm and a fashionable and cheerful Western woman, and I almost fell in love with her at that time. Ha! If I had married her as my wife, you would have been my eldest brother! Smith laughed heartily. When Wang Yunqing told Smith about Yurong's tuberculosis. Smith's face immediately turned gloomy.

Wang Yunqing asked tentatively, "Mr. Smith, do you think my sister's disease can be cured?" ”

"It is very difficult to cure this disease once it is developed, and most people who contract tuberculosis at this stage are short-lived. You asked me if I could cure Yurong's illness, and to tell you the truth. I can only do my best, and I can't promise you. Smith spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

"Mr. Smith, I appreciate you as long as you do your best to heal my sister. As for whether it can be cured, it depends on my sister's creation. My sister is weak and unable to go out, can you come to my home for a visit? ”

Smith shook his head and said, "No." Because there are so many people who come to me every day to see a doctor, I can't do without it. Besides, I want to understand and grasp Yurong's condition in detail. I had to use the medical equipment in the hospital to take a blood test and a chest X-ray, which I couldn't do without coming to the hospital for these detailed tests, and she would have to be hospitalized if her condition was serious. Yurong is my patient, and I am responsible for her. ”

"Okay, I'll bring Yurong to see you in a few days, her illness is not easy to treat, and it will cause you a lot of trouble. I won't bother you anymore. Wang Yunqing stood up and politely said goodbye to Smith, although he smiled, he couldn't hide the slightly disappointed expression on his face.

"Mr. Wang, don't be busy, please sit down and listen to me, in fact, it is not completely impossible to cure tuberculosis."

"Didn't you just say that you couldn't cure tuberculosis?" Wang Yunqing sat down again and looked at Smith with puzzled eyes.

Smith smiled secretly at Wang Yunqing, making Wang Yunqing even more confused. Smith stood up and looked warily left and right outside the door, then closed the door. He walked up to Wang Yunqing's side and whispered, "Mr. Wang, I don't know, we in the United States have recently invented an antibiotic, which is translated into Chinese and is called penicillin. This antibiotic has a strong bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect, and is also said to be effective in the treatment of tuberculosis. ”

Wang Yunqing slapped his thigh happily, "Great! Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

"This drug is currently in the final stages of clinical trials, and although the production volume is small, it is about to be officially put into production. Now that the world is in the middle of World War II, this new medicine, once used on the battlefield, will save the lives of many wounded and sick soldiers. The Japanese were afraid that this special medicine would be transferred to the Chinese anti-Japanese army through us Americans, and they monitored us very closely, so it was difficult for this medicine to enter the occupied China of Japan, and even if we had some penicillin obtained through special channels, we could not use it openly. ”

Hearing this, Wang Yunqing's face turned sunny and cloudy again.

"I remember that Yurong married a Chinese officer in her early years, and if her husband is still a soldier and still serving in the army of the Republic of China, I would be willing to help her!" Smith made a gesture of clenching his fists.

Wang Yunqing felt that Smith was an upright American and a good friend of Yurong, and he didn't think there was any need to hide it from him, so he gave a general explanation of Yurong's situation.

After learning about Yurong's experience, Smith said: "To be honest, I can get some penicillin preparations through special channels, Yurong is a Chinese friend I met many years ago, and her husband is an anti-Japanese general, I must try my best to cure her illness." ”

Wang Yunqing was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Smith, if you cure Yurong's illness, I will thank you very much!" ”

When Smith heard Wang Yunqing say this, he straightened his face and said, "Mr. Wang, what you said is wrong!" I am a doctor, it is my duty to treat diseases and save people, I came to China to practice medicine for charity, and making money is not my only purpose; I am a Christian, and every time I save a sick person's life, I am one step closer to heaven. Now, the Japanese have forcibly occupied your China, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil, and the Americans, who have a sense of justice, are very angry about this! I have lived in China for more than ten years, and I have taken a beautiful and virtuous Chinese wife, I already see myself as Chinese, and my treatment of Yurong is a little support for China's anti-Japanese struggle. ”

"That's good! I'll bring Yurong to you tomorrow morning. Wang Yunqing held Smith's hand tightly. (To be continued......)
