Qiao Liang has spent more than 20 years in Xinsheng Town, and the most torturous and busy 20 days have been......

Every day people are dying and new supplies are arriving every day.

Qiao Liang was very unaccustomed to it at first, not only would he have nightmares at night, but he would feel very uncomfortable whenever he saw a sick child dying in despair, and occasionally go to the river to find a place to cry in the middle of the night.

It's not that Qiao Liang isn't strong enough, but the 'sense of powerlessness' will make him collapse from time to time.

He did his best, but things didn't go his way.

Nearly 150 of the early 379 patients died within 20 days, and most of them were children and women.

More than 30 people were infected one after another......

With a mortality rate of more than 40%, Qiao Liang has a deep understanding of the Marburg virus.

The so-called mortality rate of 10~20% is a lie, and this rate will double when most of the people infected by the virus are malnourished women and children.

The confusion and incomprehension in the eyes of those children before they died became a lingering picture in Qiao Liang's mind.

At this time, Qiao Liang began to understand that most viruses in this world are actually 'incurable diseases'.

Because there is no drug that can destroy the virus in the human body, with the development of society, people are improving their ability to take care of the sick......

If you can't breathe, I'll give you medicine to dilate your trachea.

If you have a fever, I'll give you a fever.

If you bleed from your body, I will give you medicine to stop the bleeding.

In the face of the Marburg virus, all this has been done, and the rest is left to fate!

Qiao Liang has always been unable to accept that kind of 'powerless death', because his parents died of 'powerlessness'.

In order to avoid thinking about it, Qiao Liang chose to work and kept working......

Qiao Liang, who is 1.85 meters tall and weighs nearly 200, has lost almost 30 pounds in 20 days.

However, the results of his work are very gratifying!

The two brothers of the Qiao family seem to have the talent of managing people in their bones, but Boss Qiao is the kind of leader who goes deep into it, while Qiao Liang is the scientific management of intellectuals.

With the old 'crocodile' and a bunch of anteaters present, the poor people behaved very obediently, and as they gradually tasted the sweetness of obedience, they began to cooperate more and more.

The new town, which started with only a few thatched houses, took only twenty days to build a ward.

The base was built with wood, and then the giant infrastructure was sent to the modular simple house to be built on it, and generally a house can be built by 5 people in a day.

And those poor people can only sleep on the ground at the beginning, and then slowly have tents, and when the medical area is basically completed, they start to dismantle the tents and start building their own houses with great enthusiasm.

The development of the whole town is like being fast-forwarded, there will be some changes every day, and every day the town will have more and more things.

Most of them have never owned a house of their own in their lives!

They didn't expect that after being absorbed by the Garang Shipyard, they would not only get a salary, but also a house.

Prefabricated houses are not worth mentioning in the eyes of many people, but for these poor people, these clean and light houses are something they could not have imagined in the past.

Compared with the nervousness of the foreign volunteers about the virus, the mentality of these poor people is much better.

Compared to the menacing virus, poverty and hunger also take people's lives every day.

In the hearts of these people, there is the same feeling of powerlessness, and poverty and hunger come more deeply and persistently.

Because you can still rely on your body to fight the virus, you really have no way to be poor and hungry!

TC came out of the ward late at night, took off the protective clothing on his body, and after triple disinfection, walked to the river bank with a depressed expression.

Seeing the lights on a house on the bank of the river, TC walked over......

He didn't knock on the door, and when he pushed the door in, he saw Qiao Liang working, and there was a strong smell of coffee in the room.

TC unceremoniously walked around the side of the coffee pot, poured himself a cup of black coffee, took a sip and said to Qiao Liang: "I suggest you rest, dragging yourself down won't help much for the town's problems." ”

Qiao Jia put down the pen in his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at TC, and said, "Don't talk about me, what about you?" Why has it stayed up until now? ”

TC's face darkened for a moment, then he shook his head slightly and said, "Yali is dead, she is only 4 years old......

Before she died, she asked me, 'What is death?' ’

I don't know how to answer ......"

Saying that, TC reached out and rubbed his face, and said, "I don't know what's wrong with this damn world?" ”

Qiao Liang held the coffee cup that had cooled in both hands, looked at the starry sky outside the window, and said softly: "I used to think that I was bitter enough, but now I find that this world is really deep to the bone despair......

TC, yesterday a child asked me why those patients died......

Then I began to understand why my brother was so grumpy sometimes.

The old and the old!

The young, and the young!

Civilization should be embodied in the protection of the vulnerable, but many people do not ......"

Saying that, Qiao Liang looked at the TC who was a little puzzled, he shook his head with a smile and said, "You don't understand ......"

TC has a cowboy temperament, he rubbed his face vigorously to drive away the sadness on his face, and then grinned, "I really don't understand what you're talking about, but I understand your brother's anger."

Liang, you didn't see what Sangha Town looked like in the early days, that was the real purgatory.

Your brother pierced the gloom of despair with anger and let hope shine into that place, which is why he is so respectable.

Unfortunately, this fucking world is not fair in the first place, and sometimes we can't do anything about the outcome no matter how hard we try. ”

Saying that, TC took out a syringe and a tube of medicine from his pocket and walked to Qiao Liang's side, saying, "This is immunoglobulin, you need the help of this thing, otherwise you will collapse before the new town is established."

It's not your responsibility at all, you do your best, and God will take care of the rest. ”

Qiao Liang rolled his sleeves onto his shoulders indifferently, watching TC inject immune protein into his body, he said with a smile: "We have a word in China called 'let it be', and my understanding of this word is not forced after doing your best."

I still have some energy, so I'm going to try, even if it's good to have one less death.

In the past, I didn't understand the 'change' on the dragon's lips, but now I understand......

The dragon lizard wants to be 'a little bit better', really just a little bit is enough!

I didn't understand until now......

Every extra person is a little better!

A little less pain is a little better!

Every smile on the faces of those paupers is a little bit better!

If I can do it, I should do it, even if the result is insignificant to the world. ”

When TC heard this, he said in surprise: "After listening to what you said, I seem to feel that I don't deserve to sleep."

Dude, any idea why there are so many people who like your girlfriend? ”

Saying that, TC looked at Qiao Liang's strange expression, he waved his hand and said, "When I say 'like', I mean simple like, even the inhuman guy of the dragon lizard is no exception."

There's a sunny goofiness about your girlfriend, as if in her eyes everything is good and worth the passion.

Man, don't look bitter, you should learn from your girlfriend and do what you want to do, instead of turning everything into your own responsibility.

Our abilities are limited, don't let responsibility occupy too much of our lives, we must first be responsible for loving us. ”

Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have called Tong Tong for two days......

"Qiao Liang ......"

Just when Qiao Liang felt a little annoyed, a shout came from the river......

Qiao Liang thought that he had auditory hallucinations due to excessive fatigue, so he buttoned his ears and said, "I seem to hear someone calling me ......"

TC walked to the door and stretched out his head to take a look, then said with a smile: "You'd better come over and see, your girlfriend is really a magical person......"

Qiao Jia ran to the door in surprise, and then saw Tong Tong standing on the deck of a fast reaction ship, screaming loudly at himself......

The most surprising thing is that behind the rapid response ship is a series of cement boats, and the ships are neatly lined up with containers converted into houses.

Qiao Liang looked at Tong Tong, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, and his eyes suddenly blurred......

The girl knew that she had been worried about the speed of the town's construction, so she came up with this solution.

When you are busy, someone is thinking about yourself wholeheartedly, and that feeling is hard to describe.

TC glanced at Qiao Liang, pushed Qiao Liang's shoulder, and said, "Man, you are a lucky guy, hurry up......

First of all, don't let down the people who love you!

Your brother is many times better at this than you are, and you can too! ”

Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously, then ran to the river and said hello, the 'crocodile' walked out from the side like a ghost, and then took Qiao Liang to a speedboat, and slowly leaned to the side of the rapid reaction boat......

After Qiao Liang boarded the boat, he found that Mother Yang was standing on the back deck looking at him with a smile, he paused for a moment, walked over and said, "Mom, why are you here?" ”

Dr. Yang touched Qiao Liang's thin, sunken cheek a little distressed, then shook his head and said, "Today is your birthday!"

Tong Tong has been urging the construction period of the container, and finally caught up. ”

"Huh?"

Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a few people coming out of the cabin......

Keno pushes a food cart with cakes, and Adele runs happily around the deck with a lit firework in her hand......

Tong Tong wore a pointed hat on his head, holding a mobile phone in his hand and watching the time while anxiously stomping his feet......

When twelve o'clock arrived, the girl screamed, squeaked and rushed over, jumped up and smashed into Qiao Liang's arms from afar......

Qiao Liang snorted and was crushed to the ground......

Tong Tong rode on Qiao Liang's chest and shouted happily, "Happy birthday!" ”

After speaking, the girl tugged at Qiao Liang's face, frowned and said, "Why did you secretly lose weight?"

Is there any secret ingredient? Tell me quickly or I'll ......."

Qiao Liang looked at Tong Tong's eyes, sat up and hugged her in his arms, hugged her hard, and said, "Tong Tong, let's get married!" ”

Keno, who was holding a camera on the side, heard Qiao Liang's proposal, and he screamed strangely, shouting: "Promise him, promise him, promise him......"

Tong Tong covered his fat face, tangled for a moment and said, "It's so unromantic!"

Why don't I secretly promise you first, but you're going to ask again later? ”

Qiao Liang looked at the irrepressible happiness in Tong Tong's eyes, and he laughed heroically and said: "We will get the certificate when we go back this time, you are my wife, I can ask ten more times!" ”

Qiao Jia stood not far away and watched his younger brother complete an extremely hasty marriage proposal, he smiled and hurried to make a flawless gold ring, walked over and stuffed it into Qiao Liang's hand, and said, "How can you do a marriage proposal without a ring?" ”
