"Damn!" The others in the command room slapped the table one after another, and said indignantly: "This Shangguan Liang is really shameless, he actually did such a conscientious thing!" ”

Li Rui calmed everyone's anger and said: "Everyone, now is not the time to crusade against Shangguan Liang, the immediate plan is to control the plague as soon as possible to prevent further spread, and at the same time, do your best to treat the infected." ”

Everyone immediately nodded in agreement. As a result, Li Rui used all the resources available to start building a special hospital in Shanghai to treat the infected.

But in this way, Shangguan Liang was given a chance to breathe.

Ouyang Xin and Bai Heng had no choice but to stop the transfer of troops and withdraw the troops on the periphery of Shanghai. Except for a small number of the Southern Dragon Gang in the city who defected to Li Rui, most of the rest were wiped out by Shangguan Liang and He Zhizhi. Li Rui actually controlled more than 60 districts in Shanghai, but its administrative organs were still in the hands of Shangguan Liang.

After three months, Shanghai Leishen Hospital.

"Don't be sad, young man, can you tell me what the situation is?" Li Rui comforted.

"Since March ago, I have sent medicines, oximeters, oxygen machines, etc. from Shanghai, just so that my grandmother can be treated in time." The young man said with tears in his eyes.

"And where is your hometown?"

"Youzhou, a fifth-tier city."

"Have you sent all your medicines?"

"I sent it, but they thought I was creating panic and inducing the elders, so they directly discussed it and hid my grandmother's illness from me." The young man cried, "When there was a problem with the CT scan of my grandmother's lungs, the family went to the hospital. At this time, a week has passed since the infection of the elderly. ”

"This disease really came very quickly, and it was delayed for a week, and the consequences were unimaginable."

"Hey, I was also infected at the time, and I rushed back to my hometown with my illness, who knows, this time, it will take a whole month."

Li Rui saw through the glass window of the ward that the old man in the hospital bed had not eaten or drunk all day, his cheeks were sunken, his eyes were closed, and his dry hands were stretched out to the air and waved wildly.

"She was always laughing and crying, and I listened closer, so I could barely piece together 'God', 'Lord Bodhisattva', 'Please', and some words that were difficult to distinguish." The young man looked at the old man and said.

"You can see that she is in pain."

"I have been hospitalized for half a month, and it is the third time that I have been notified of critical illness."

"Really?"

"A month ago, when I learned of my grandmother's condition, I hurriedly bought an oxygen concentrator and sent it home. My mom said on the other end of the phone, you don't buy these things at home anymore, it's useless, just create tension. She said something at the time, saying that she couldn't hold it anymore, and after saying this, she hung up the phone. The young man recalled, "Speaking of which, my mother was the first in our family to want my grandmother to go to the hospital, when she had just been infected, had a recurrent fever, and was tired, mainly because she was afraid. The uncle left early, and in the past thirty years, her second daughter, who was not so valued, became the eldest in the family. Although he has been serving his grandmother for the longest time, the second uncle and the younger uncle are sons, and if they don't express their position, they can't go to the hospital. This notion is conventional, and no one questions it. ”

Li Rui didn't speak, and listened carefully to what he said.

"One day, my mother repeatedly proposed, and finally my second uncle and my father took my grandmother to a hospital near their home for a check-up. I didn't line up for two hours, and the old man was so cold that he almost fainted. When I got home, I saw that my grandmother's snot couldn't stop and I was shivering from the cold. ”

"Why don't you just get hospitalized?"

"I thought about it, but when I heard that there were people dying every day in the hospital, I was scared. In the end, my mother and uncles came to a consensus - we should take whatever medicine is available at home. Grandma had bronchitis and coughed every winter, and they found out the previous cough granules, gankang, cephalosporin. Some of the medicines expired, and my mother didn't dare to feed them, and the two uncles said they were fine, so they gave them to my grandmother. ”

"This ......"

"It's normal, and many people don't have medicine at home right now."

"Hasn't the Governor's Mansion already activated the reserve medicine warehouse, why is there still a shortage of medicines?"

"There is no shortage in Shanghai, but there is a shortage in Youzhou, in a small city like my hometown, the dealers of medicine have already speculated the medicine to sky-high prices, and they can't afford it."

"How can this be reasonable, doesn't the Youzhou Office take care of it?" Li Rui said angrily.

"It's done, it's useless." The guy sighed and said, "Now it's all circulating, this drug seller and law enforcement have long worn a pair of pants, this is a huge profit, everyone wants to make a profit." ”

"Moreover, I have also heard that most of the reserve medicines we have opened in Shanghai are expired, and although these medicines cannot kill people after eating, they have no effect at all."

Li Rui's eyes narrowed, as if he had thought of something.

"Even, it has long been rumored among the people that this plague was actually planned and implemented by our Shangguan Governor, and his purpose in doing so was to defeat the Shengshi Group in one fell swoop, so as to consolidate his dominance."

Li Rui didn't speak, patted him on the shoulder, and said after a long time, "Then what happened?" ”

"Later, one day, my brother-in-law later sent a message, saying that the old man had a normal body temperature, did not catch a cold, did not cough, but had back pain, please rest assured. I was still not at ease, so I asked my father to test my grandmother's antigen. The result was two bars both times. I realized that they might be isolating me. ”

"Maybe I'm afraid you're worried."

"That night, I received a call from my uncle, who insisted that my grandmother did not have a fever and that it could not be the plague. But by that time, the family had been infected one after another. My grandmother has had hypothyroidism for many years, poor appetite, and weighs only about 70 pounds. In the past few years, her legs have hurt, her movements have become slower and slower, she fell twice last year, someone has to bring her food every day, and her family comes and goes, and the chance of infection is too high. ”

So, I hurriedly bought an oximeter and sent it directly to my hometown. Four days later, my cousin sent me a picture showing her blood oxygen at 80. Blood oxygen levels below 93 are dangerous, but no one in the family has expressed their position. I privately discussed with my cousin that I had to be taken to the hospital. After my uncle left, my cousin's school and marriage were all managed by my uncles and my mother. This time, my cousin felt that it was inconvenient for my grandchildren to mention it. The father-son relationship between his cousin and his second uncle is usually tense, and he doesn't dare to say it. ”

"Later, I lied to them that I wanted to see a doctor for my little niece, and by the way, I took my grandmother to take a CT, and they hesitantly agreed." The young man said helplessly: "After the shooting, the report shows that it is pericardial effusion and both lungs are infected." The doctor at the hospital said that he could not be cured and that he should be transferred to the hospital as soon as possible. The grandmother was sent home again. ”

Li Rui also felt very sad, this is just an example, but in places where he can't see, this situation must be very common.

"Shangguan Liang, you are really ruthless!" Li Rui scolded in his heart.

Of course, this also shows that Shangguan Liang has exhausted his donkey skills, and he is worried about his destruction, so he will resort to this kind of method of thunder and thunder.

"One night, because my dad didn't have symptoms, I went to take care of my grandmother and sat in the living room almost all night. When my mother found out, she scolded him, saying that his head was not flexible, what if something happened. He is 57 years old and was hospitalized with high blood pressure the year before. He was so angry that he cried and told me that he watched his grandfather and uncle walk in the hospital back then, and he was afraid that if his grandmother really had any bad situation, he would not be able to explain. Later, he was also unbalanced, thinking that his sons didn't care about anything, and my mother and a daughter instructed a son-in-law to deliver meals, go to the hospital, run errands to buy medicine, and run before and after. ”

"I was on the third day of infection, and my tears were burning when I heard this. What's even more sad is that it is so difficult to reach a consensus between people, and grandchildren, especially a grandchild, have no say in such matters. ”

Outside the hospital corridor, the snow was still falling, and the sky was gray and depressing.

After being critically ill for the third time, my grandmother finally transferred from cardiology to respiratory medicine. Her gibberish became more and more serious, and the doctor, suspecting encephalitis, decided to do a lumbar puncture, in which a thin needle was inserted into the spinal cord of the back to extract fluid from the brain to make a judgment. ”

"Then the old man may suffer."

"Who said it wasn't, in the ward, my brother-in-law was clearly against it at that time. Since the escort, the treatment of my grandmother has been mainly decided by the two uncles, me and my cousin - one from each of the four families. I asked him, can you guarantee that you won't regret it if you delay the optimal time for treatment? He folded his arms around his chest and looked at the ground. ”

Li Rui took out a cigarette, handed it to him, and said, "Don't smoke in the corridor, go to the stairwell." ”

The young man nodded, and the two of them went to the stairwell around the corner.

With a "snap", the two lit their cigarettes.

Li Rui spit out the smoke ring and said lightly: "You don't have to worry, this disease is cured." ”

"There is a cure, but the special medicine is too expensive for us to afford." The young man hung his head and said: "Hospitalized, it may cost tens of thousands, but that medicine, one will cost tens of thousands, a course of treatment, at least 100,000 yuan, who can afford this?" ”

"What if I say that it can be treated without a special drug?"

The young man's eyes lit up and he asked, "Really, what's the solution?" ”

"I'll sell it first, and I'll tell you later, you tell me first, what happened later?"

The young man swallowed his saliva and said, "After my grandmother was hospitalized that night, my mother never dared to go to the hospital again. Later, I asked if I would consider sending my grandmother to the ICU, and she reacted very violently, saying that she would never let her go to that cold world alone. I guess she probably expected that her grandmother's body would not be able to hold on. On the second day of admission, because he went to help with the funeral of his friend's father, his uncle, who had not shown up for a day, came to the ward at night full of alcohol. Seeing his grandmother wearing a ventilator in pain, he wanted to take off the mask several times, but his cousin and second uncle hurriedly stopped him, and the doctor said that this was saving her life and could not be taken off. ”

"In this case, whoever is the son of man hopes that the old man can suffer less."

"I can understand that." The young man smoked a cigarette and said, "That argument almost turned into a quarrel, but my uncle got up from his stool and said, 'You can do it, I don't care.'" The cousin was silent for a while, took a cigarette out of his coat pocket, got up and walked out of the ward. Just like here, in the stairwell where smoking is prohibited, many male family members gather here to smoke. It was early in the morning, the corner was empty, and my cousin leaned there to wipe his tears. ”

He said he just wanted to save his grandmother. My uncle, his father, died when he was 5 years old, and my grandmother saved up her pension for him to study and start a family all the way. One year, his grandmother led him back to his hometown, fell from the high platform of the green car, and broke several ribs in his chest. My cousin said that when he was critically ill, when he saw his uncle's appearance, he knew what he was thinking, nothing more than trying to bring people home. In the hospital these days, I am disgusted to hear these expressions and pull them away—meaning that the person is dead; Go home – to indicate that the family is giving up on treatment. ”

"The more junctures like this, the more human nature is tested."

"Yes, human nature is cold."

"But you can't be killed with a stick, at least, you haven't given up yet."

"Thank you for comforting me, but I'm actually conflicted." The young man looked at the snow outside the window and said, "One day at noon, at the elevator entrance, a middle-aged man kept shouting, Mom, Mom, he shook the person lying on the bed. Later, I learned from the doctor that the old man was in his 70s, had a bad heart, and died within a few days after the infection. Doctors say this happens every day. I'm worried about whether my grandmother will be next. ”

"The second time I was critically ill, I lobbied my dad to go to a friend in the hospital again and try again. In those days, my aunt and my mother went to buy a shroud for my grandmother, saying that they could be happy. The brother-in-law said, it's really not good, let's take it home. My brother-in-law is my grandmother's youngest child and has been the most favored since childhood. Even if she is confused on the hospital bed, when her grandmother sees her uncle, she will still bend her eyes and say, "Fathers and mothers in the world love children, do you say yes?" Every time he pulled out the needle, his uncle couldn't bear to press his grandmother's blood vessels. We wanted to try to ventilate my grandmother in a prone position, but he firmly refused, fearing that the position would hurt her bones. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
