"How's Xiaobai? Did Cuong find it? Leng Xiaoxi's worried voice on the other end of the phone, she knew that Xiaobai had been there for a long time.

Bai Xuejing held the phone and smiled, a little desolate, "Sister Xiaoxi, it's almost time, I'll find him!" The lips trembled a little, and the tears that were about to cry were strongly controlled.

"If you want to cry, cry, Sister Konishi's ears are for you!" Leng Xiaoxi comforted Xiaobai, with her understanding of this guy, she must be crying again.

"Do you need to help? What is needed? ”

"No, I'll definitely find him!" Bai Xuejing cheered herself up, and also cheered up the phone on the other side.

The next morning,

Bai Xuejing got into Tory's classic car refreshed, and the car set off with a bang, she stared and pondered, if Brother Ah Qiang is sick, where should he be?

Hospitals, local clinics? And also? She couldn't think of any other places to go

Toli looked back and smiled, "Miss Bai, you look much better." ”

"Thank you, and your wife!" She said very sincerely, if it weren't for them, she might not know how many days she would have to lie down? Although her legs and feet were still a little weak, there were almost no places to find today, and she didn't have to do anything to work hard.

"Is there a clinic in your own home?" It suddenly occurred to her that there might be the same barefoot doctors here as in China, and some of them were of a good level.

"Oh, that's a lot, but with the current situation, it's even more impossible to admit such a serious patient, what if you live in your own home and infect your own family? So none of such doctors will keep them. So don't ask too much! It's all closed these days, and who isn't afraid? Tolly explained the situation of the barefoot doctor here.

"Oh, as soon as you say it, I suddenly remembered one thing, that is, in the small town of Khodani, not far from my wife, there is a small medical center, but it is only a Chinese medicine, and it does not treat other diseases. Locals also see it, but not much. He can't cure such a disease at all, but if you are interested, you can go and see it. Tolly's disapproving voice, he didn't take this Chinese medicine hall seriously at all.

The corners of Xiaobai's eyes lit up, "Then don't hurry up and find it." ”

The drunken trees in the distance, mottled and sparsely scattered, and the leaves began to wither and yellow. However, there is a small white house behind the bushes, although it is in the style of a local house, there are obviously some oriental things, which evokes Xiaobai's strong homesickness.

She looked at the bushes without blinking, feeling very melancholy, maybe there was no place at all, she knew, but she couldn't stop moving forward, like these trees and grasses, no matter how vigorous they were, but still blocked the arrival of the dry season.

Passing through the earth-colored path, she stood in front of the door, the Chinese-style door, adding a bit of familiarity and familiarity to Leng Xiaoxi in this strange land.

Pulling the knocker, she knocked on the door, "Anyone?" "Fluent in Spanish. The mood is as nervous as ever.

"Anyone?"

asked three times in a row, and only then did there come out some movements that were aware of Suosuo,

The sound of the door lock opening,

Bai Xuejing looked at the old man who went out with a worried gaze, about seventy years old, tall, gray hair, and some sparse, hair went back, long eyebrows fell, and there was a trace of melancholy soaked in the thick eyes.

While putting on a white coat, he looked at this weak and light girl, "What's wrong?" The old man looked behind her, and there were no sick people, what did they do?

Tolly had approached Xiaobai at this time, took off his hat and greeted the old man politely. "Hi, hello."

"I'd like to ask you about someone!" Xiaobai hurriedly took out a photo of Ah Qiang from his bag, "He's been sick recently, I don't know if you've seen him?" Xiao Bai's watery eyes kept patrolling behind the old man, trying to find something.

"Don't look, I don't have anyone you're looking for here!" The old man pinched the photo, took out his reading glasses from his bag and put them on, and suddenly, his brows began to wrinkle.

"This person, I seem to have seen ......" was a plain voice, but it was great news to Bai Xuejing.

She stepped forward excitedly, grabbed the old man's sleeve, and Chinese also came out, "Have you seen this person?" Where is he now? Even the voice flew.

"This ......" The old man frowned and looked at the man in the photo, and then lowered his head and held his forearm that Bai Xuejing clutched. Do you speak Chinese? ”

Bai Xuejing's eyelids twitched, and she let go of her hand earnestly, she was too excited just now, but there was excitement and joy in her eyes that couldn't be hidden.

"Uh-huh, where is he?" She added when she came, her eyes full of hope.

"A week ago, I saw him, he was sick, he seemed to be very serious, I knew from a distance that he seemed to have the most serious epidemic in the local area, his face was blue and black, the corners of his mouth were purple, it was very serious, I only prescribed him a few doses, let him go to recuperate, and let him live in an abandoned house. But when I went back to see them a few days later, they were gone. He was on a stretcher.

The emotions on Bai Xuejing's face changed rapidly, from melancholy to surprise to disappointment, just for a short time, like a floating cloud, all kinds of emotions were mixed and changed, and her arms suddenly hung weakly on the side of her pants.

"His illness looks like it's hopeless! It's been almost a month, and I feel like he's ......," the gray-haired old man paused, and continued, "he may not be in this world." ”

"No!" She clenched her fists, shook her head desperately, and tears flowed down, "You didn't see it with your own eyes, how can you prove that he is not there, you lie!" She cried out in a mournful voice,

Tolly shuddered.

He stepped forward to help Xiaobai, but she shook off his kindness, turned around and strode forward, tears fluttering in the wind again and again!

"Miss Bai!" Tolly shouted as he threw himself up.

The old man's body was stunned, and he kept chewing, "Miss Bai," his cloudy eyes flashed excitedly, and then quickly recovered to the appearance he had just now, familiar but not, he sighed and stared at the photo in his hand. Suddenly he shouted, "Girl, your picture! ”

The body paused suddenly, Bai Xuejing turned her head with tears on her face, walked to the old man's side step by step with heavy steps, and when she stretched out her hand to take the photo, the old man spoke again, "That's your ......" The voice was kinder than just now.

Tory, who caught up, took the lead, "It's her man." ”

"Oh, I remember that when the gentleman was lying on the stretcher, he kept holding a black purse, which was tightly attached to his chest, and he didn't let go at all, and I remember when I was auscultating, he didn't agree to let him take it away, saying that it was his hope, his life's hope, and he was worried that he would never see her again, so he must warm her in his heart...... He said that such an opportunity may have to wait only for the next life. ”

"That man is very infatuated, and it can be seen that he likes the woman in his wallet very much, and there is a small photo in it......" The old man looked up at Bai Xuejing's appearance, "It seems to be you ten years ago?" ”

Tears welled up in the corners of Bai Xuejing's eyes, she sobbed, she hated herself, if only she had found this place earlier.

Seeing Bai Xuejing's excited and sad appearance, the old man stuffed the photo just now into Bai Xuejing's hand, turned around and walked into the door, and then turned around, "You guys wait a minute." ”

Soon the pale-haired old man reappeared, with a set of photographs in his hand.

"I've sterilized this, and it's better not to open it, there is a virus, I've already sealed it, and it's three layers!" The old man spread out the palm of the disinfectant gloves, he looked vigilant, and put on a mask.

Sure enough, it was a photo of himself, a photo of Cuong in his black wallet. Bai Xuejing's hands were excited to take it.

The old man's body quickly dodged back, "This is very dangerous, although I have eliminated the virus, but there is no guarantee that there is no virus on it, so you better not ask for it again, this was originally burned by me today, such a thing can't be put here, it's very dangerous." ”

"This photo is the man who left in the abandoned house, I picked this up then, and I didn't want other people to infect me, so I was going to burn it all." The old man stared at Xiaobai's painful eyes, a little pity.

Yang's hand in mid-air froze, Bai Xuejing's eyes were moist, and she completely lost her normal light infiltration. Tears burst out of the embankment again.

After putting away the photos, the old man suddenly said, "I thought they would come back, and I thought about returning the photos to them, but I shouldn't be able to wait." A heavy sigh.

Tory also stood behind Xiaobai in a daze, not knowing how to comfort Xiaobai who received this shocking and unfortunate news.

"Give it back to me?" She bit her lip, spoke resolutely, and resolutely stretched out her hand again.

"No, I have to be responsible for the folks here! This is a highly contagious virus! The old man's voice was resolute, and he turned around quickly.

She was just about to follow up, but the old man twisted his eyebrows again, "They may have entered a jungle east of Khodani, which is their construction site, you can look for other clues." “

There was a thud, the sound of a heavy door slamming shut.

Xiaobai stood in place in a daze, and after understanding the next moment, he stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no matter how he knocked, the door never opened.

Soon, there was a burnt smell of plastic.

A glimmer of sparkle quietly rolled down the corner of his eye.

The old man in the room, looking at the photo that turned into ashes, couldn't help but sigh, how many crazy children are in the world! However, he suddenly remembered the title of Miss Bai in Spanish just now, and his heart shook off a wave, and then quickly calmed down, there are many more people with the surname Bai in the world?

"Go to the jungle!" Bai Xuejing stared at Tory, who was driving in front of him, and made a decisive sound, and a trace of a gossamer flashed in the corner of his eyes.

"Miss Bai, no, it's one of the source areas of infectious diseases, it's too dangerous!" Toli secretly screamed that it was not good, it was all to blame on the old Chinese medicine doctor, his hand couldn't help shaking, and the car snapped quickly. He didn't want to go at all. But the owner in front of him was too pitiful, but he still had the upper hand with reason.

The car stopped on the side of the road as decisively, Miss Bai, Tolly was solemn and serious for the first time, "I admire your courage and determination, but you also see the current situation, this disease is now breaking out here very badly, the mortality rate is very high, you also watched the shabby TV news, the mortality rate is half, and even the official conservative number, this is terrible, I am not afraid of death, but if I go, I will face the risk of death, if I am not there, the family of five will really have to wait for death, They had no source of income, and I had my poor wife, who was sick.

After a long confrontation, Xiaobai clenched his fists with both hands, "Tolly, can you sell me the car?" Her expression was resolute.
