After all, Yunniang also knew that if she took the bus back like her, she didn't know when she would arrive at the pier, and she had to go back to Cunshantang to take care of her elder brother, so she got on the bus with Li Zhao, pointing On the side of the road rushed to the pier.

When he arrived at the pier, Li Zhao could smell a foul sea breeze as soon as he got out of the car, mixed with the smell of rotting fish.

At this moment, the entire pier was bustling with excitement, because a ship happened to be docked, so the owner of the ship was recruiting nearby stevedores to unload the goods on his ship.

The stevedores all rushed forward, and then the boss picked a few young and strong ones to let them carry the goods for him. This is how these stevedores make a living.

Even though they are dressed in tattered clothes, they still have the love and yearning for life in their eyes, rushing forward, because as long as they rush forward, they can earn an extra penny, and then give their wives and children more money. good life.

When Li Zhao saw this scene, she suddenly felt a little sad, and Yun Niang had no time to think about it. She came to the workers who were standing on the pier waiting to load the goods, caught an acquaintance, and told them thousands of dollars. Do not go into the water.

"Yunniang, what are you doing?" At this moment, the man she called Brother Hu walked over frowning.

And this man named Brother Hu was carrying two sacks on his back. Everyone else carried one, but he could carry two at once. One can imagine how strong he is.

"Brother Hu, Dr. Xie said that the parasite that infects elder brother is in the water, you must not go into the water." Yun Niang threw herself in front of him, grabbed his hand, and said instructingly.

After the words fell, all the workers around looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they needed to load and unload the goods on the dock in exchange for money, their lives were also very important.

Besides, when Yunniang's eldest brother fell ill and was sick, they all saw it clearly, at least they knew how tortured the disease would be.

"Yunniang, is what you said true? Did Doctor Xie say it himself?" So others gathered around Yunniang and asked.

Yunniang nodded immediately, dissuading them not to go into the water, but they will inevitably go into the water when loading and unloading the cargo on the ship, and they will not make money if they don't go into the water.

"For the safety of your lives, you should not go into the water." Li Zhao also came over, and said with a little persuasion in his words.

Brother Hu wrinkled his eyes slightly, then put down the two sacks he was carrying, stood there, still hesitating, and said to Yunniang: "Yunniang, if we don't go into the water, our brothers' lives will be nothing. There is a way to guarantee it."

"Yes, we have been working as stevedores here for generations, if we don't go into the water to carry goods, then we can eat and drink whatever we want, we can't cut off our money because of a small parasite. "There are also some people who don't care about it, and still want to go into the water and directly move the goods on the ship.

But at this time, the ship owner saw a group of them gathered here, not moving the goods, but just talking there, so he walked over angrily and said, "I didn't hire you to let you talk here, what are you moving?" If you don't move the goods, if you don't move the goods, I will find someone else."

"We'll move right away." In the end, even though he knew there were parasites in the water, Brother Hu still picked up the two sacks of goods, and then walked towards the water with heavy steps.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhao frowned tightly, and shouted: "Are you asking for money rather than your life?"

"You're wrong. Sometimes for poor people like us, life is really not worth it." Yunniang understood why Brother Hu and the others would go into the water even though they knew there were parasites in the water, and she covered her face and cried.

Li Zhao had no choice but to take Yunniang back to Cunshantang first. After all, they had warned the workers on the dock that there were parasites in the water.

"The workers on the pier must have thought that the parasites in the water only infected Yunniang's eldest brother, but not other people? After all, they had been working together during that time." Xie Qingtang heard this After this incident, he said clearly in his words.

And what Xie Qingtang said was right, those workers had such luck in their minds, and thought that those parasites would not be touched by them, so they went into the water, besides, they had nothing to do before.

After the words fell, Yunniang also froze for a moment, then nodded and said, "Mr. Xie, you are right. Why did this parasite only infect my eldest brother, but did not infect other people?"

"This also makes me very strange. It seems that your elder brother must have habits that no one else has." Xie Qingtang thought about it, and the accident of this incident should have happened to Yunniang's elder brother.

Yun Niang was also sitting there, her brows were tightly furrowed, and she was thinking about this matter. At this moment, she seemed to have remembered something, her eyes lit up, and she quickly said: "I remembered, my elder brother is very Likes to drink raw water and likes to go swimming in a pond near where we live."

"If there is any difference, there are two differences between my elder brother and others. My elder brother prefers to drink raw water. Every time I let him drink the boiled water, he is not willing. Drink, said that the taste of the water has changed, and he often goes to swim in a nearby pond, my elder brother has very good skills, no one else has been there, it is his secret small pond."

After the words fell, Xie Qingtang nodded, and said with a confident smile on his face: "I think I already know where the source of schistosomiasis infection is."

On the other side, the other doctors in Gu's Hospital all panicked after knowing that a case of schistosomiasis had suddenly appeared in the city.

"What, there are cases of schistosomiasis in the urban area. Could it be that we have parasites in our water?"

"Oh my god, this is really terrible. I still think of the widespread epidemic caused by schistosomiasis decades ago. It is a very contagious disease. Where is the patient now? I must Get him under control."

"Yes, Dr. Hao, where is that patient? You just told us to get ready, but we don't even know where the patient infected with schistosomiasis is. It's useless even if we are prepared."

All of a sudden, rumors spread in Gu's hospital, and the matter spread.
