Chapter 49: Like Them

"Don't crowd, don't crowd, pay attention to safety!"

"Please line up, don't all come around!"

In the chaotic crowd, Yan Xiao took out the mobile phone that shook in his pocket and saw that it was Li Wen's phone.

Avoiding the noise around her, Yanxiao found a slightly quieter corner before picking up the phone.

"Hey! Squad leader! ”

Xu was the reason for the poor signal in the village, and Li Wen's voice on the phone sounded a little vague and distant, "Have you already arrived?" ”

"Well, it's time to go." beckoned to Yang Jie, who was busy interviewing in the crowd, and replied to the phone with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he immediately added, "Thank you, squad leader, there are many people here, it's really a very good opportunity!" ”

Li Wen on the other end seemed a little absent-minded about Yan Xiao's sudden thanks, only said "um", and then asked, "Did Yang Jie go too?" ”

"Well, we're here together, do you want to talk to her? I'll call her for you. ”

"No, no, you guys get busy first. Remember not to be too public, you ...... All pay attention to safety, I'll hang up first. ”

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Yan Xiao was a little puzzled, the squad leader, who was usually straightforward and decisive, hesitated to speak today, and the phone was still hanging up so panicked and fast, strange. Shaking his head, he left the person on the phone behind, and trotted into the lively crowd again.

This is indeed a great opportunity.

At that dinner, Yanxiao finally made up her mind to investigate the Xinyuan pollution. However, it's one thing to make up your mind, it's another to actually get to the bottom of your investigation.

At the beginning, the words and laughter were a little big, and a little dazed, plus Wangjia Village, including several villages near Xinyuan, the population said that there was not much, and there was no less, if you directly rashly went door to door to ask, it would definitely not be feasible, and it was easy to attract the attention of Xinyuan. In addition, coupled with the last night road distress, Yanxiao had some worries in his heart.

So how do you focus on those patients?

Until, a phone call from Li Wen came.

He said on the phone that a colleague's wife is a doctor in the People's Hospital, because it is about to end the year, in order to improve the people's awareness of physical examination, and in response to the policy of benefiting the people, the hospital has carried out a medical examination activity in the countryside, and the next stop is several villages near Xinyuan.

What Li Wen means is that by taking the opportunity of the medical team's physical examination, Yanxiao can obtain the blood test reports of the villagers from the hospital for centralized comparison, and second, she can go to the physical examination site to interview the relevant patients without being noticed, and take this opportunity to collect a part of the list of patients affected by such contamination for further interviews and evidence collection in the future.

After listening to Yanxiao, he was so excited that he almost knelt down to worship the squad leader on the phone, what is a big guy, this is a big guy!

Therefore, when this excellent opportunity came, Yanxiao did not hesitate to follow the rural medical team to Wangjia Village again under the pretext of doing a report on the physical examination of the people.

After Yang Jie found out, she couldn't help but follow Yanxiao to the scene, and said that she wanted to get first-hand information as soon as possible.

"How long have you been like this?"

"It's going to be a long time, at the beginning, sometimes the throat and eyes are itchy, cough a few times, spit in the morning or something, a little bloodshot, I thought it was a fire, and I didn't take it seriously, in the last few days, when I went to bed at night, I would feel a little stuffy in my chest, and I couldn't say what I felt, anyway, I always felt uncomfortable, and my daughter always urged me to go to the hospital to check, hey, this person is old, and I don't like to run to the hospital...... You just happened to be here, why don't you hear it for me first? ”

Under the makeshift shed set up by the medical team, an old lady in her 60s was babbling about her symptoms with the doctor across from her.

Yan Xiao stood aside, and along with the old lady's words, she also took a pen and recorded something in the notebook in her hand.

"Old man, you can't do this, if you feel unwell, you must go to the hospital to see it, it's good for yourself, don't you say?"

The patient seems to have a natural sense of dependence and trust on the doctor, and listening to the doctor's patient instructions, the old lady mutters, "Yes, yes, I'll let my daughter take me to see it when it's tomorrow," and nodded vigorously.

"Then you go to the nurse next to you to have a blood draw first, and we'll go back and do a blood routine for you."

"Oh, thank you, doctor!" After thanking the doctor gratefully, the old lady got up tremblingly and walked to the blood collection place next to her.

"Dr. Zheng, how's it going?" Putting away the notebook full of writing, Yan Xiao asked the female doctor who was looking down at the patient's information.

Zheng Xiaoli, the person in charge of the rural activity and one of the doctors. She raised her head to look at Yan Xiao, who asked questions, her plain and beautiful face was now covered by a big blue mask, revealing only a pair of gentle eyes that could not hide her tiredness and anxiety.

"It's not good, most of the people who came to do physical examinations today are middle-aged and elderly people around forty or fifty years old and some children in several nearby villages. Cough symptoms are common, some people report chest tightness and coughing up blood, and some children will have symptoms similar to rhinitis and nosebleeds in certain seasons. After speaking, she turned her head to look at the tall chimney in the distance, even if she was wearing a mask, the pungent smell in the air still made her frown, and she couldn't help but add, "I don't rule out the possibility of chemical pollution." ”

Yanxiao nodded, agreeing with Zheng Xiaoli's words.

was chatting, and a head suddenly appeared in a group of people not far away and beckoned to Yan Xiao, it was Yang Jie.

"Yanxiao, what have you gained?"

"I recorded some concentrated symptoms at Dr. Zheng's place, and Dr. Zheng said that the possibility of chemical contamination could not be ruled out, but the details would not be known until the blood test report came out." After walking out of the crowd, Yan Xiao flipped through his notebook and said, and raised his eyes to look at Yang Jie again, "What about you?" ”

"I talked to some elderly people, and they all reported that before the chemical plant moved, there were very few people in the village who had a serious disease like lung cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer, but in recent years, this disease has gradually increased. I recorded some videos and took some pictures. As she spoke, Yang Jie handed the mobile phone that had slid to the video interface to Yan Xiao.

"Well, it should be about the same." After a quick flip through it, Yanxiao stuffed the phone and her notebook into Yang Jie's hand, and winked at her again, "Wait a minute, I'll send a business card." ”

After saying that, he ran back into the crowd again.

"Uncle and aunt, I am the editor of the daily newspaper, my name is Yanxiao, I came this time, one is to report on the medical team that examines the uncle and aunt, and the other is that I have been paying attention to the pollution problem on our side recently, thinking if those of us who do news can do something for the residents near our factory. So if you have anything you want to say about pollution, you can call me, this is my business card. ”

After handing out the temporarily printed business cards in his hands to the people one by one, Yan Xiao nodded to everyone and turned around to leave.

Behind him, an old man's voice sounded, "Hey, it's all fooling, just to have a news to write about when you go back." A few years ago, I can't remember how many years it was, but there were two young people who also said that they were journalists and wanted to help us reflect the pollution. ”

As he spoke, he threw the business card in his hand to the ground. A gust of wind passed, and the fluttering business card was blown a few times, and finally landed at Yanxiao's feet.

A minute ago, the business card was still clean and snow-white, with a handwritten font carefully selected with a smile on it, printed with the words "editor of the daily newspaper" and her name and phone number. At this moment, Yan Xiao looked down at her feet, I don't know which child was playing next to her just spilled a water stain on the ground, and the discarded business card had been wrapped in the mud in the water stains, lying quietly at her feet.

Yanxiao suddenly felt an indescribable discomfort.

Yang Jie looked at her quietly from a distance.

The medical team, which was packing up and preparing to leave, also stopped their busyness and looked over.

Squatting down to pick up the card at his feet, he smiled and quietly turned his head to look behind him.

There, there is a group of people who are tormented by this pollution day after day, year after year, and yet they are looking at the smiling gaze at the moment, either curious, or teasing, or just watching the excitement. Behind them, in the winter sun, was an abnormally pale yellow river.

Swallowing the mixed feelings that suddenly surged in his heart, he picked up the card in his hand with a smile, as if looking at them, and as if looking at an unknown place in the distance, and said slowly, "Those two young people are my predecessors, and they have made great sacrifices for their ideals. And I will be like them, stick to what I think is right, pollute this news, and I will definitely do it! ”
