In the middle of the night, there was not a single clinic on the street. At this point, all the clinics on one side are closed, and if you want to buy medicine, you have to go to the city hospital.

However, the city hospital was still some distance from my home, so I was too lazy to drive, so I walked along the road with the mentality of giving it a try.

At this time, there were almost no people in sight on the street, and I walked forward alone with half of my face covered. I don't know how long I walked along this road, but in the middle of a crossroads, I found a small clinic between two tall buildings.

The shops around the clinic are closed, and the building behind it is the only department store in our neighborhood. At this time, although the neon lights of the department store were flashing, it was still pitch black inside.

There was a dim light flickering in the clinic, and it wasn't incandescent light, but the unique glow of a very old-fashioned light bulb. The door was half-hidden, and it was filled with large doors. Large and small medicine shelves, but on that medicine shelf there were only a few bottles of medicine.

Originally, this clinic was quite unreliable, but there was only one clinic nearby, so I had no other choice. When he covered his face and pushed the door in, a strong smell of potion came to his face.

This room is not particularly big, and there is a big one inside the counter. Large and small pill boxes. When I walked into the house, I saw a young man in his 30s walking in from outside. This man looks quite young from the looks of his face, but he has gray hair on his head. And this kind of gray hair doesn't look like dyed white, but like a white head overnight.

The young man looked at me for a moment, then asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

I looked at him in a white robe and coat and asked, "I have a toothache and want to buy some painkillers." ”

The young man saw that half of my face was very swollen, and beckoned me to come closer. When I walked up to him, he beckoned me with a flashlight.

"I didn't look at the cavities, how could it be swollen like this?"

I covered half of my face and cried, "I don't know why, every time I eat chili, I have a toothache for a few days." ”

"Are you allergic to chili peppers?"

I shook my head and said, "No, I didn't have this problem before." ”

The young man nodded, and without saying a word, walked into the room behind him. After a while, he took out a small white paper bag from the back room and handed it to me.

"Your face is swollen like this now, and taking ordinary painkillers doesn't work anymore."

"So what can you do?"

"This is my special medicine, and taking it now will ensure you get a good night's sleep."

I nodded slightly, and then opened the packet, which was filled with black granular powder. It doesn't smell strange, but it looks like insect eggs.

To be honest, I'm a little scared about such an unknown drug. Then I wrapped the monster and said with a smile, "You might as well prescribe me some more ordinary painkillers." ”

"How...... Don't trust my medicine? ”

I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "No, no...... I was just thinking about buying some normal painkillers to keep in hand. ”

The young doctor looked at me with a blank look on his face, then leaned over to take his medicine from under the counter. But just as he was about to get the medicine, the door behind me was suddenly kicked open. Immediately after, a man walked in with a fat woman with a pale face.

This woman's belly is already very large, and it looks like it must be more than 6 months. And the man who was supporting her, wearing a nightgown, was obviously woken up in the middle of the night.

"Doctor, take a look, her stomach hurts terribly."

The young man looked up, pointed to the small bed next to him, and said, "Help her to the bed first. Lying on it. ”

As he spoke, he took out a box of pills from the cabinet. After he threw the medicine in front of me, he quickly turned around and went to save people. He walked over to the bed, reached out and gently touched the pregnant woman's belly, and asked, "How many months?" ”

The man frowned tightly and said, "Three...... It's been three months. ”

"Three months? How can you have such a big belly in three months? ”

"She's fat herself...... Probably ......"

The doctor didn't say anything more, he touched the pregnant woman's belly with his hand, and said, "Strange...... Why does she feel so many little bumps in her stomach? ”

"Huh? No way. ”

Just as the doctor was making a diagnosis, another woman came in from outside, wearing a white dress and a high belly that was about to give birth. When the young man saw this, he hurriedly ran over and helped the pregnant woman to lie on the other side of the bed. Above.

At this time, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down the pregnant woman's face, and she clutched the sheets tightly with both hands, looking nervous and painful. The young doctor, apparently overwhelmed, turned around and shouted, and then a thin old man came out of the back room.

Although this old man is thin and withered, he looks full of energy. He walked up to the woman who was about to give birth, reached out and pinched her belly, and pressed her belly down a lot. It's like you're trying to press a balloon, but the balloon doesn't pop but deflats.

At that moment, the bruises on the woman's face erupted, and at the same time, a foul smell gradually dissipated. I saw that the woman's stomach was pressed hard by the old man, and at the same time, some yellow liquid flowed out of her skirt. The old man waved his hand and said, "Didn't you wear an adult diaper when you came, give me a dirty one." ”

The woman's lips were pale, as if she were lying on the bed with a relieved expression. , said, "It's urgent, I'm too late to wear it." ”

"It's too late to get on diapers, so how can you get dressed?"

The woman stopped talking, and the old man turned around and walked over to the other pregnant woman.

"Didn't you say it, don't look for me before you give birth."

The man took the old man's hand and said, "No way, he really hurts a lot......"

As usual, the old man reached out and touched the woman's belly, and then frowned and glared fiercely at the man standing beside him.

"What did you give him to eat?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing...... My mother was worried that she was not well nourished, so she cooked her a bowl of soup. ”

The man's eyes dodged, but the old man didn't mean to let him go.

"What's in that soup?"

"It's just ordinary chicken soup...... It's nothing. ”

The old man seemed to be a little angry, he stared at the man and scolded, "If you don't tell the truth, don't say that this child can't be saved...... Even your wife is going to die. ”
