nine dead doctors

Chapter 251 The Poor Mountain Village

Five buses meandered slowly. After walking for more than three hours, at sunset, the free medical team arrived at the second destination of the trip, Tulinggang.

Here, it is still a small mountain village.

Dozens of families are scattered among seven or eight bare mountains. Although it is summer, it looks quite bleak, making people feel like they have come to Africa.

This is a barren land.Unlike the beautiful scenery of Taohua Village, the mountains here are almost all barren hills, and there are many cliffs. The widest main road can connect to the town, but it is only three meters wide, and it is a dirt road. When it rains, it will be muddy. Unbearable, fortunately it was sunny when Xu Zhuo and the others came, even so, the bumps made many people feel sick.

The sun was setting and the golden afterglow was falling. In the distance, a big river was flowing from the southwest, and the water was rushing. Looking at the many bare mountains nearby, Xu Zhuo couldn't help but think of the word "poor mountains and bad waters".

For some reason, the mountains here are almost barren of grass. Even if they are a little green, they are mostly sparse and small shrubs.As the saying goes, you can rely on mountains to eat mountains, and rely on water to eat water. Obviously, the mountains and rivers here cannot be relied on.Unless selling rocks.

Rocks can be used as building materials, but rocks are extremely cheap and the roads are difficult to walk. It is not cost-effective to transport them from here and travel long distances to distant markets.Those shrewd businessmen can buy stones in the mountains near the town.

As usual, the village head of Tulinggang had already received the news, and led the whole village to greet him. There are very few vehicles in this village, and even if there are occasionally, they are just old-fashioned walking tractors. Therefore, people in this village have never I have never seen such a "cool" five buses. The whole village looked left and right around the vehicles, and they were very excited.

In fact, the car was already very dirty after a long journey, otherwise, these villagers would have been even more excited.

Next, it was natural to set up tents. With the help of enthusiastic villagers, the construction work went smoothly. The village head also prepared a banquet, and invited the medical staff of the free medical team to attend the banquet. The hospitality was hard to come by, and everyone had to go to the village to do as the Romans did.Of course, it is inevitable to tell the other party not to set an example.

The banquet was very simple, with only one meat, five vegetables and two soups on each table, and basically no alcohol. Of course, the hospital stipulated that drinking alcohol was not allowed when going out for free consultations, and everyone didn't care.

Xu Zhuo sat at the table with Ni Xiaomiao and Zeng Yulan, and after eating for a while, the food was not delicious, it could only make do with it, and it was even better than eating instant noodles.But everyone did not dislike it, only a small number of people, such as Du Wenmou, Yang Wei and others, were very disdainful.

Du Wenmou frowned and took a few mouthfuls, then went to smoke. Yang Wei complained while eating that the food was so unpalatable, how unpalatable it was.If it weren't for the colleagues around him looking at him with disdain and restraint, I'm afraid he would have to speak louder. In that case, it would be bad for the villagers in Balinggang to hear him.

They invite you to eat for free, do you still think this or that?Have a little quality!
Xu Zhuo chewed slowly, and felt that although this rough tea and light meal was poor, it tasted quite artistic, like the kind of meal that recalls bitterness and thinks about sweetness. If you eat it often, you will know the sufferings of the people at the bottom, and you will not forget the blood and tears of the revolutionary ancestors. History of struggle.

However, Xu Zhuo soon felt that something was wrong, because he accidentally discovered that there were always children and even adults passing by not far away. At first, Xu Zhuo thought they were here to see handsome men and beautiful women. After all, the free medical team came from big cities , no matter how they dress or how they speak, they are very different from the local people. They belong to the kind of "characters on TV" and "same as people on TV" (these are the arguments of the local villagers).

However, Xu Zhuo, who was careful, soon discovered that those children or adults were more interested in the "food" on the table.They drool at the sight of those modest dishes.There was an adult man who couldn't help wiping his face, and when he saw Xu Zhuo looking at him, he was very ashamed, turned around and ran away, which surprised Xu Zhuo.

"Wanhua Tianyan, clairvoyance, clairvoyance, push!" Xu Zhuo used his magical powers to scan the village, and suddenly found that many people were eating at home, but the dinner was too shabby.In some families, the whole family just eats a pot of yellow paste. They don't know what it is made of, but it is likely to be sweet potatoes or pumpkins.Some people eat wild vegetables without any oily smell.

All in all, when comparing the meals of those villagers with those used by Xu Zhuo and the others, the difference immediately appeared.Compared with the food in the villagers' homes, the food that everyone thought was bad before seemed like a state banquet.No wonder many villagers and children couldn't help running over to have an "eye addiction".

"Why is this village so poor!" Xu Zhuo shook his head and sighed softly.

Zeng Yulan also said: "Yes, look at them, many people are not afraid of the heat and don't wear clothes, but have no clothes at all. The kid over there has a big hole in his pants, and he is still wearing them."

Those were not jeans, nor were they the kind of trousers with many holes that girls in the metropolis bought on purpose, but rather ordinary trousers that had been worn for many years and were too torn.

Ni Xiaomiao's eyes were slightly red, and she said, "It's too difficult for them. Alas, our hospital should come to this kind of place more times."

Zeng Yulan said: "However, there are so many poor places in the country, and it is impossible for our hospital to take care of them. This requires the appeal of the whole society."

The poverty of Tulinggang can also be reflected from another aspect. When the tents were set up and the staff of the free medical team began to work to treat everyone, the village head organized people to send three floor-standing electric fans. , the village head said very embarrassedly: "I have made the distinguished guests suffer. Our village is poor, and there are only three electric fans in the whole village. Everyone takes turns to use them, sorry!"

Team leader Sun Simiao told him to return it, saying that the villagers would also use it, and there might be old people and children. Their doctors were already prepared to endure hardships when their doctors went out for free consultations.In addition, Sun Simiao also specially thanked the village head for his kind hospitality, telling him not to have a banquet tomorrow, the free medical team has dry food, and he can cook by himself.

Naturally, Sun Simiao had already discovered that although the banquet they ate was simple, it was many times better than the meals that the villagers used on weekdays.If you give money to the other party, the other party will definitely not want it. It is better to give more medical treatment and physical examination to the villagers. This is the best return.

The village chief naturally refused to take it back, but Sun Simiao insisted again and again, but the other party still reluctantly took the electric fan back.

That night, the patients in this village were almost seen, and those who were not sick basically had a physical examination. However, the free medical team did not intend to leave because people from several nearby villages had not yet come.Those villages are even more remote, and it is difficult for buses to drive in and cannot reach them, so they wait here.Speaking of it, the traffic in Tulinggang is still the best among these villages!
On the second day, the free clinic team set up a temporary team, and let the team take the initiative to provide door-to-door services for some disabled elderly or children.

Xu Zhuo volunteered to join in, and Zeng Yulan accompanied him, but Ni Xiaomiao was inconvenient to leave because he had to serve as the "pharmacy supervisor" for the large army.

The other staff included the attending doctor Chen Feng, attending doctor Wu Lanjun, attending doctor Qin Mingming, resident doctor Yang Wei, resident doctor Han Guanglu, and Liu Shasha, an editor of a TV station who also served as a reporter, and followed the team with a camera on their shoulders.Among the doctors, the oldest attending doctor, Chen Feng, was in his forties, and the attending doctor, Wu Lanjun, was 37 years old. These two had the most experience and could be regarded as the leader of the team. Qin Mingming was less than 30 years old and had just been promoted to attending doctor. Others Yes, Yang Wei, Han Guanglu, Xu Zhuo, and Zeng Yulan are all newcomers.

This is a seven-member team, plus Liu Shasha, the editor and reporter of the TV station, there are eight people in total.In the early morning, bathed in the rising sun, the team packs various equipment and medicines on their backs and sets off!

Since Zeng Yulan and Liu Shasha, two beauties, were walking together, everyone talked and laughed along the way, and everyone didn't feel tired.
