Chapter 932: Besieged
The night in the town looks a little unpeaceful, and the shadows of the trees can be seen through the glass. Old Jack was much better, he could sit on the bed, and drink the soup Rachel boiled for him, he drank so fast that Rachel also felt a kind of relaxation that he had never felt before, and couldn't help but laugh: "Slow down, no one is robbing you." ”
"I know, but I can't help it, I swear, it's the most delicious soup I've ever had in my life, and if only I had a few pieces of bread!" Old Jack wiped his mouth with the towel Rachel handed him, and rested his back on the back of the bed with satisfaction, looking at Rachel.
"Have you figured it out?" Old Jack's brow twitched when he said this, he didn't want to ask this question, but now that he knew, if he didn't ask, Rachel might not have an answer herself.
"What do you think?" Rachel was stunned for a moment, then reacted, shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Dad, I don't know what to say, but ...... I've already made up my mind, you don't have to convince me anything, I know what I should do, this damn bastard, he shouldn't be here, in the first place! ”
"Bruce at the beginning, Van now? Zhen, haha, forget it, you can't hide your mind from others, I don't object to anything, it's your own idea, I just need to know, if this bastard bullies you, I will blow his black heart with a shotgun, but ...... Sometimes I feel like he's really good, it's just ...... It's true that you shouldn't be engaged. Maybe I can help you get rid of that movie actor. ”
"Okay, don't talk about that. You better rest for a while, I'll wait for him to come back!" Rachel told Old Jack to lie down, helped him cover the cup, and prepared to go to the living room.
"Hey, my little darling, you can go to sleep too, maybe he'll come back, I know he's special, but it's going to take time. If you don't take a break. Who is going to help him during the day? And also...... As far as I can tell the people in the town that those who have a fever can come to my house tomorrow, and if they are strict, they can come over tonight. As long as Zhen is back. It's no problem with a qiē. Old Jack said, looking at Rachel. After this qiē, you go to sleep, tomorrow will be a very hard day. Yours hold on! ”
Rachel did so. She informed all the people in the town, there were not many people, she spent an hour, and then when she came back, she lay down in her clothes, slept for about three or four hours, and when she woke up, it was already dark, and she found herself in her own bed, not on the couch last night.
"Zhen-" She got out of bed, went to the living room, called out, but saw no one, she rushed into Old Jack's room again, only to see Old Jack sitting on the bed with his eyes closed, his face was very ruddy, his improvement was very good, his spirit was good, it seemed that he was no longer in danger, and he was recovering to normal.
"Jack, where is Zhen?" Rachel said as she looked at old Jack on the bed.
"I went out a long time ago, the people in the town are queuing, probably drinking the Chinese medicine he boiled, I drank a bowl, it was very bitter, but he said it was useful, so I drank it, you see how I feel?" Old Jack shook his head at Rachel, swaying left and right, and seemed to be in good spirits.
"Okay, what do you want to eat? I'll do it for you, and then ...... I'm going to help him! Rachel said and looked outside, but didn't see Zhen Fan's figure.
"He's on the square side of town, you have to go there, don't be busy doing anything for me, he's already prepared breakfast, I've eaten the soup he cooked for me, I've left you toast, you go get it yourself, in the restaurant." Old Jack said, pulling the quilt over his chest, and said to Rachel, "Okay, I'm going to sleep, you can go and help him when you're done, right...... Your medicine, the medicine that Zhen Fan boiled for you has been put in the thermos box, you can drink it yourself, don't suffer this torture for no reason like me! So saying, he lay down on the bed, and stopped talking.
Rachel made sure that he was all right, so she walked to the restaurant with confidence, took out the medicine from the insulated box, and drank it, it was indeed bitter, but she did not feel unpleasant at all, the bitter taste lingered on her tongue, and there was a feeling of sweeter and sweeter. After eating another piece of bread, he hurried towards the square.
Zhen Fan was busy on the side of the square alone, everyone got a cup of Chinese medicine, and then some people with fever were carried over by their families, placed on the side of the square, and gathered.
"I'll help you!" A voice came from behind Zhen Fan, and he didn't need to guess to know that it was Rachel, Zhen Fan turned his head and smiled, "You're here?" Did you sleep well? Looks in good spirits! ”
"I'll help you distribute medicine, and you can treat those patients!" Rachel smiled at Zhen Fan, "I can help, I can do this, they are the ones who need to be treated urgently!" As he spoke, he pointed to the seven unlucky ones lying on the other side of the square, who seemed to be a little wrong.
"Okay, you send it, remember, no one can only have one cup, it's this kind of cup, no more, no less!" Zhen Fan told Rachel, and then he was ready to go over there to treat those who had a fever. At this moment, someone suddenly pointed to the distance and said loudly: "Someone is coming, a large group of people are coming!" ”
"Oh, someone's going to meddle!" When Zhen Fan pierced the silver needle into a patient's body, he stood up and looked at the convoy that looked a little murderous, it was not an ordinary convoy, but a military vehicle, and a police car leading the way in front. It is clear that this will become a place of martial law.
The arrival of the convoy made the people in the town a little commotion. It was clear that they were feeling threatened, because these people didn't seem to be very kind.
"Zhen, we're in trouble!" Anthony? Hughes walked over to Zhen Fan's side, he was just informing the residents of the small town one by one to come here to get their medicine. The people in the town trusted Zhen Fan very much, and as soon as they heard about it, they rushed over, and each person had a cup of Chinese medicine, although it was difficult to drink, but when they heard Zhen Fan say that it had a preventive effect, they did not hesitate to drink it.
After the panicked residents passed through the distribution of Chinese medicine, their feelings calmed down a little, but they did not expect such a situation to suddenly appear, which immediately made them commotion, and some people began to curse, picked up stones and prepared to throw them at the military vehicles, but Rachel stopped them.
"What should we do?" At this time, Rachel's first thought was Zhen Fan. The town has experienced several crises, and every time a crisis arises, Zhen Fan is here to resolve it for everyone, whether it is those who plot to seize the town, tornadoes, and now the threat of the virus. Zhen always gives people confidence, and they can't help but look at Zhen Fan.
"Let me do it, after all, I'm a public figure, and they'll treat me politely!" As he spoke, Zhen Fan pulled out the silver needle from the patient's body, and then walked towards the entrance of the town very calmly, and everyone gathered around him, following him.
Soon the convoy saw that the gate of the town was blocked, and a group of soldiers in chemical protective suits jumped out of the car, led by a lieutenant colonel, who saw Zhen Fan and the townspeople at the intersection of the town, so he walked forward, and then looked at Zhen Fan and frowned: "You are a resident of this town?" ”
"Counting, I should be, I bought a house here, and a ranch." Zhen Fan nodded at him, and then said, "I want to figure out, what's going on?" Why is this area fenced off? "Because as they spoke, some of the soldiers began to set up barricades at the intersections of the town, and soon the same equipment was set up all around the town. There was also a group of medical personnel in white hazmat suits, standing behind the lieutenant colonel, ready to enter the town.
"I know you, Zhen, you're a celebrity, but now that this place has been quarantined, no one can go out, and you are no exception!" The lieutenant colonel said coldly to Zhen Fan, "We are on official business, I believe you already know that there is a very contagious virus here, an unknown virus." So...... Until we're sure it's safe, you'll all have to stay here and not go anywhere! ”
"Okay, okay, I see, why don't you let your paramedics in? See what kind of help they need! Zhen Fan said and got out of the way, and the townspeople also got out of the way, letting the medical personnel in white protective suits come in, and when a medical officer walked in on the left back, he saw Zhen Fan.
"Hey, Dr. Zhen, it's you, God, why are you here?" That person seemed to know Zhen Fan, but he was wearing a hood, and Zhen Fan hadn't recognized who this person was for a while.
"That crash on Highway 95 to Philadelphia, I'm the doctor -- Alan? Francole, remember? Seeing Zhen Fan's somewhat confused look, the man hurriedly grabbed his shoulder and said loudly, "We have treated the wounded there together!" ”
It turned out to be him, Zhen Fan remembered it, and couldn't help nodding and laughing: "I didn't expect you to come here, aren't you a surgeon?" How did it get here? Zhen Fan smiled and shook hands with him. It's just that Alan is wearing a protective suit and has no real contact.
"Surgery is only part of me, my main thing is infectious diseases, I graduated from Hopkins University, and now I'm doing this work, God, why are you here?" Allan? Francole seemed a little surprised that Zhen Fan appeared here, "Are you infected?" ”
"No, no, I'm treating them, it's a very rare infectious disease, it's really contagious, I'm using some of the therapies in Chinese medicine, some of them have worked, and I'm preventing them. You can use it as a reference, there are seven patients over there who have started to have a fever! Zhen Fan pointed to the other side of the square, "Let's go over and talk, they probably can't afford to wait, this disease may kill people in four or five days at the earliest." ”
Allan? Frankel was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhen Fan as he walked, and said, "You have already done research on the virus?" "Obviously, Zhen Fan's grasp of the situation is the same as theirs. (To be continued......)
