Chapter 245 The barren mountain village

Since the little girl's father was sent to the hospital for treatment, although Wu Tianlin had done his best to save the middle-aged man in more than a month, and also successfully developed a traditional Chinese medicine formula that can relieve pneumoconiosis based on Gong Jiatang's secret recipe, so that the patient would not have to suffer from large-capacity full-lung lavage, but he still could not rescue the middle-aged man from the god of death.

As a doctor, Wu Tianlin no longer remembers how many times he had seen separation from life and death, but when he saw the mother and daughter helpless and pounced on the cold corpse with grief and burst into tears, he couldn't help but sigh at the fragility of human life, and at the same time he made up his mind to help the mother and daughter seek justice.

On April 20, Wu Tianlin, Hui Lipus and three assistants from the medical team, and a group of five people, accompanied by the little girl's mother, took a plane to fly directly from the East China Sea to Jiushi City, Northwest Province. At around 3 noon, the plane landed at Jiushi Airport on time. Wu Tianlin and others walked out of the airport and took a car that had been contacted in advance and went directly to Mashan Town, Jiushi City.

The car was speeding fast on the road. Wu Tianlin sat in the middle of the business car, looking at the scenery of the northwest outside the window, thinking about what his father told him.

Last night, Wu Tianlin called his father before leaving and told his father that hundreds of people in Mashan Town, Northwest Province had pneumoconiosis and he was going to take several doctors from the medical team there to see. After learning about the purpose of his trip, his father did not remind him to pay attention to anything as usual. Instead, he simply told him not to be too impulsive when encountering things, and that he should first pay attention to protecting himself no matter what happens.

So since Wu Tianlin talked to his father last night, he has been considering the meaning of what his father said, but now he has come to the wine market, but he has never figured out why his father said this to him.

Xizhuangzi Village is a small village, the small ones are not painted in any map album. This village is located in a deep mountain urn, surrounded by high mountains. If the land here is not barren, it would be a paradise. Looking down from the road on the top of the mountain, Xizhuangzi Village is like a bricklayer's tile knife with its blade facing north and towards the high mountain behind the village. But perhaps because the mountain is too high, it is always impossible to cut it out. The long-term idleness makes it covered with a layer of rat skin-colored rust, which looks lifeless in the sunlight.

After more than two hours of driving, Wu Tianlin and his group of six came to Xizhuangzi Village, Mashan Town, Jiushi, the little girl's hometown. When the car entered Xizhuangzi Village, only a faint rouge color was left in the sky to the west. Smoke curled up from the village, and the owls in the forest let out a burst of whine, which made the dusk in the deep valley particularly neglected and desolate.

Accompanied by the constant barking of dogs, the little girl's mother directed the driver to listen to the car in front of a dirt wall. She held a white porcelain jar and pushed open the car door. She said to Wu Tianlin, who had just opened the car door and was about to get off the car, "Doctor Wu! This is my family. Since the child's father came to Donghai for treatment, my father-in-law was left at home alone. The conditions in the countryside are not as good as those in your big cities. You may have to overcome it for one night tonight."

Wu Tianlin walked out of the car, looked at the earthen wall covered with cracks in front of him, and followed the little girl's mother into the cracked wooden door. An old and dilapidated tiled house inside immediately appeared in front of everyone. An old man looked thin and sloppy, wearing a shabby black cloth, holding a big smoke bluff in his hand, and squatting on the threshold of the house.

The little girl's mother walked into the door with a porcelain jar in her arms. When she saw the old man squatting in front of the threshold of the house, tears instantly came out of her eyes and she wailed loudly: "Dad! I brought Xiaohui's father back."

When the old man heard the little girl's mother's words, he held the cigarette holder's hand and shook slightly. The big smoke bong in his hand fell to the ground. The old man slowly stood up. His eyes were staring at the porcelain jar held in the little girl's mother's arms, slowly walked to the little girl's mother's face, reached out to the little girl's mother, gently stroked it, and asked the little porcelain jar with a choked voice: "Hui her father! Why are you willing to leave your father alone and leave like this? Why do you want your father to send a black haired man?"

The old man's words undoubtedly aroused the bitterness in the woman's heart. She looked at the small porcelain jar in her father-in-law's hand, and tears were like a fountain, which made her unable to curb the sorrow accumulated in her chest. A heart-wrenching shout could not help but burst into tears.

Looking at this scene, Wu Tianlin couldn't help but feel sore, and his throat seemed to be filled with cotton. Thinking that he could not save the girl's father in the end, he could not suppress his emotions at this time. All kinds of feelings were intertwined, turning into a guilt I had never seen before, violently impacting him.

The crying of the little girl's mother quickly attracted the attention of the neighbors. Not long after, some villagers appeared outside the gate one after another. The villagers saw the crying women and the elderly, as well as the strange Wu Tianlin and others, and walked into the yard. One of the women immediately asked the little girl's mother: "Hui'er's mother! When did you come back? What happened?"

When the little girl's mother heard the woman's words, she turned her head and saw that there were so many villagers gathered in the yard at some point. She cried and said, "Aunt! Hui'er's father left us, mother and daughter, and he would never come back."

When I heard the cry of the little girl's mother, the villagers around were not very surprised. The woman who asked before shouted to the sky and cursed loudly: "Thirteen, so far there are thirteen. It's such a sin! God! Open your eyes and look at the villagers here. Thirteen have left. Do you want to let all the men in Xizhuangzi Village die? The people who are digging the veins are the officials and the black-hearted mine owners. Why don't they suffer retribution, but they want us poor villagers to pay for their lives? Is it really that the good man is bullied by others, and Ma Shan is going to be ridden by others? Why?"

After the woman scolded, she walked to the little girl's mother, looked at the small porcelain jar tightly in her arms, reached out to hug the crying woman, and comforted her softly: "Hui'er's mother! Uncle! People cannot be resurrected, and you will never cry anymore. Hui'er's father must be very tired when he comes back from such a faraway place. I will go to find a few people tomorrow morning and help Hui'er's father find a Feng Shui treasure land. You can let him get into the soil soon!"

The little girl's mother nodded when she heard the woman's words, and said in a choked voice: "Auntie! Thank you." When he said this, he saw Wu Tianlin and others beside him, and then remembered the purpose of Wu Tianlin and the others coming here, and hurriedly said: "By the way! Her aunt! Hui'er's father's disease has been diagnosed. This disease is called pneumoconiosis. Men who inhaled productive dust for a long time while working in the mine will get this disease, and this disease has no cure so far.

These doctors from the most famous hospital in Donghai are all good people. When Huier's father was hospitalized, they didn't want us to pay a penny. Fortunately, Huier's father was not so painful when he left with these doctors. This time they heard that many people in our village had this disease, so they came here from Donghai to see the villagers for free. Although they could not cure the villagers' illness in the end, as long as they took the medicine on time, it would delay the progress of the disease and prolong their lifespan."

When the woman heard the introduction of the little girl's mother, she first glanced at Wu Tianlin and others, and asked the little girl's mother: "Hui'er's mother, I heard that I had to open my stomach when I was treated with this disease. Is this true?"

"This is for the aunt! You have been deceived. In fact, you don't need to open your chest to check your lungs when you see this disease. People with this disease are exposed to productive dust for a long time, which damages the defense function of the respiratory system, and significantly reduces the resistance of the patient. Generally, patients will experience chest tightness, chest pain, cough, phlegm, dyspnea, prone to colds, and decreased respiratory function. Moreover, this disease will escalate every few years, and will be infected, eventually, heart disease, respiratory failure and death. This time we heard that many villagers here have this disease, so I want to come and help everyone. We are currently

There have been some results in researching drugs for treating this disease. Although we don’t know whether it can cure everyone, it can at least help everyone relieve some pain and delay the onset of the disease. Besides, medicine is so prosperous now. Maybe one day our scientists will develop a medicine for treating this disease." Wu Tianlin heard the middle-aged woman’s question and knew that these villagers were obviously scared by the previous black-hearted mine owners. Thinking of the painful expression of the middle-aged man’s death, Wu Tianlin was full of resentment towards the black-hearted mine owners and local officials, so he quickly explained.

When Wu Tianlin heard that there was no cure for pneumoconiosis at present, a burst of discussion immediately came to the whole yard, and an old man immediately asked Wu Tianlin loudly: "Doctor, do you say that the disease that my Ergou got cannot be cured without medicine. Is this true? Didn't the officials in the town say that this disease was caused by smoking too much? Why did it become the kind of pneumoconiosis you mentioned? Are this the cadres in the town lie to us or are you deliberately cheating us in order to make money? We are poor here, but we have no money to let you cheat."
