Chapter Ninety-Three: I Don't Know How Many
"Yes, because there is no cure for this disease, regardless of whether it is a dignitary or a peddler......
Su Xiaoting was even more puzzled, since it couldn't be cured, what did it have to do with such a village?
"The bad is the bad, this disease not only kills people, but also tortures people to death and live" Grandpa Ding said this, he seemed to have palpitations, shook his head and said in a heavy tone:
"Unless, with an extended-release injection! But this slow-release agent is something that can make people bankrupt! …… After Dongdong's father got this disease, the family couldn't bear to see him suffer, so they began to sell their property, and until now, they still owe a lot of debt! ”
His social subsidies and Dongdong's have almost filled in the hole, and when he said this, a trace of tears appeared in the corners of Grandpa Ding's eyes,
"Although his father is gone, I am finally worthy of him in my heart, but Dongdong is going to suffer with me! …… Hey, look at me, and say these depressing words~"
"Uncle Ding, Dongdong is very sensible, and it will get better and better in the future!" Su Xiaoting herself felt a little pale from this persuasion.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Grandpa Ding rolled his eyes a little embarrassed, saw the cake on the table, and continued:
"Girl, let's eat the cake later and then leave! Today is the child's 8th birthday, and he hasn't had a birthday in the past few years, and this year...... If you're there, he'll be happy!"
8 years old? Thinking of the little face of the dish, Su Xiaoting's heart felt sour, this child is afraid that he wants to have a good birthday with his relatives!
Facing Uncle Ding's expectant gaze, Su Xiaoting nodded heavily and took the initiative to help set up the plates and candles.
"We're back! Grandpa, who do you see coming? As soon as the words fell, a small figure rushed into the room, it was Dongdong.
A bitter cold wind blew in from the door, and at the same time a figure like ice and snow walked in and closed the door.
I saw that this person was dressed in white, even his eyebrows were white, and his facial features were as unstained as ice carving.
When he got used to the light in the room and saw the girl standing at the table, he couldn't help but be stunned!
"It turns out that there are still guests here, excuse me!"
Dongdong preemptively said: "Grandpa, I just met Teacher Mu, so I invited him to celebrate his birthday together!" "Dad said that birthdays should be with the people you like to be happy! And Mr. Mu is one of his favorite people!
"Oops! Teacher Mu, sit down quickly, there are so many people who care about him, come to accompany Dongdong for his birthday, my old man is also happy~" Grandpa Ding smiled very brightly, looking a little younger!
Mu Ziyou no longer shirked when he heard this, and sat on the last bench at the table.
"Teacher Mu, this is the big sister that Dongdong just met!" Grandpa Ding introduced.
"Call me Xiaoting! Hello~" Su Xiaoting said.
"Hello, my name is Mu Ziyou, and I am Dongdong's teacher~" Mu Ziyou nodded, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth melted his frosty face.
Su Xiaoting found that his hair was ice blue, draped over his shoulders, his eyes were slightly darker lake blue, his complexion was snow-white without a trace of redness, and only a thin lip was pale pink, but it was a little chapped due to dehydration.
Next, in Dongdong's expectant little eyes, Grandpa Ding lit the candle.
"Wow! Grandpa, it's time to sing the birthday song~" Dongdong clapped his hands happily and laughed.
Su Xiaoting was glad that she was a beat slower, and then she hummed along with the melody:
'I wish you ~~good health~~ long,
Light ~ Mang~~ never leave ~~~
I wish you ~~ break through the darkness ~~ darkness,
Enjoy the glorious ~glorious life~~~
……
’
Originally...... What has the future birthday song evolved like this? Healthy! Brilliance! This is probably the voice of the times!
Su Xiaoting helped divide the cake and cut a small corner for herself, and everyone happily ate the cake. Grandpa Ding took out the hot corn and said that he would make instant noodles for everyone.
After Su Xiaoting ate half of the corn, she said that she couldn't eat it anymore, and Grandpa Ding was afraid that Su Xiaoting would have something to do, so he asked Mu Ziyou to send Su Xiaoting for him.
Several people said goodbye at the door, and Mu Ziyou helped Su Xiaoting push the hovering bicycle towards the entrance of the village. Along the way, the villagers I met all greeted Mu Ziyou warmly.
After the contact just now, Su Xiaoting found that Mu Ziyou was not as unapproachable as he gave his first impression, so she chatted with him about her doubts.
"Mr. Mu, I don't know when this birthday song began to circulate?"
"Heh~ It's been a long time, it is said that it started at the beginning of the Dark Age, and the lyrics have changed slightly after the Glorious Era." Mu Ziyou seemed to remember something, and let out a light sigh. "At least we still have sunshine now than we did then!"
"yes...... I just heard Grandpa Dongdong say that the people who live here are genetic patients and their families, so is the government just sitting idly by? ”
“…… The government is also powerless, after all, there are more monks and less porridge, and the purchase of sustained-release drugs is a personal act! ”
As you can guess from the name, this medicine is estimated to be similar to painkillers. Su Xiaoting thought for a while and asked hesitantly, "Can't the sustained-release agent be mass-produced?" ”
"Hehe, the raw material of the sustained-release agent is the crystallization of the sea beast~" Although Mu Ziyou was a little surprised, he still patiently explained.
"Genetic diseases are caused by constant radiation, and sea beasts produce antibodies in a long radiation environment, so only their crystals can inhibit radiation! This relieves the pain of genetic collapse. ”
"It's a pity that these sea beasts are extremely difficult to deal with, and the base of genetic diseases is huge, so they have been speculated to sky-high prices, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is liquid gold!"
"I see...... The sea beast was indeed terrifying! Su Xiaoting immediately understood the preciousness of sustained-release agents.
"Have you ever seen a sea beast?" Mu Ziyou glanced at Su Xiaoting again in surprise.
"Well~ I have visited. By the way, Mr. Mu, this village is so small, where do you take classes? ”
"There are two such villages in the vicinity, with a total of a dozen school-age children, who are too young to attend a nursery school, so the government has built a temporary learning center here!" Before he arrived, most of these children were out of school.
Su Xiaoting was immediately in awe, the conditions here were so difficult, which reminded her of the volunteers who used to teach. She blurted out:
"Teacher Mu, is the school close to here? Can I go check it out? ”
"Heh, it's right next to the supermarket, why don't you park your car at the entrance of the village first!"
Mu Ziyou parked the car at the entrance of the village, and the two turned back. The two walked to a slightly taller white bungalow in the center and opened the door.
Most of these workshops are standardized, and they look very much like the current 3D printed simple rooms, but fortunately, they can be regarded as bright and clean.
As soon as you enter the door, there is a long and narrow corridor in the middle, which divides the teaching room into two, the left and right rooms are classrooms, the right one is slightly smaller, and the remaining 6 or 7 square meters seem to be offices.
