Don't Touch My Tail [Interstellar]

The mayor acted quickly, and the next day he called together the residents of the town and explained to them the purpose of the volunteers.

Wen Xiangnan stood in the shadow of the big podium and looked down at the townspeople in white robes and big hoods.

They didn't put on their hoods, they just sat quietly in their seats, listening to the old mayor's speech with silent and dumb faces.

"That's how things are. Now a team of volunteer doctors has come to Guli. They only have a preliminary idea of ​​the disease. The possibility of cure is very low. If there are people who don't want to try, they can leave on their own. Follow the doctor's orders."

Mayor Reese paused, waiting for the townspeople's reaction.

No one left.

They sat there numbly.

Looking at their dull eyes, Wen Xiangnan felt a little sad.

He once encountered a similar situation. When he was a freshman, he followed the association to a remote town in Huba as a volunteer. A seasonal infectious disease had just broken out there, and everyone looked so hopeless and blank. He still remembered On the first day he arrived in that city, he asked a little girl why the adults here didn't speak, like puppets.

The little girl was holding a dirty rabbit doll, her eyes were blank, and she answered him slowly: Maybe it was because she felt that she had reached the point where she could no longer live. My mother told me that in the last stage of life, If you don't want to laugh, don't force yourself to laugh. If you feel sad, just close your eyes and wait for the ending quietly.

The little girl's mother died of the infectious disease that ravaged the city.

How similar is the current Guli to Huba?

People here may have had a chance once, thinking that someone would come to their rescue.

Yesterday the mayor mentioned that in the first month of the outbreak of the infectious disease, they also actively carried out isolation. Doctors from all the medical centers in the town gathered together to discuss the treatment plan, but they tried many methods to no avail.

Desperation began to spread in this remote city.

In the second month, they sent out a distress message, hoping that the imperial army would come to rescue them, but they did not come.

In the third month, people who had been looking forward to it at the exit of the town began to return to their houses one after another.

In the fourth month, the first death from an infectious disease occurred in the town, and the increasingly silent townspeople started rioting. They were angry and wronged, but more of them were sorrow and fear of death.

When the number of dead people increased, the whole town became more and more silent, almost as silent as death, and everyone was quietly waiting for their own death.

Today, even if the long-awaited doctor finally comes, their faces are not bright at all. They have been shrouded in the shadow of death and firmly believe that they have nowhere to escape.

Yu Chu, who was always emotionally cold, couldn't help the redness of his eyes.

With the help of the mayor, things went smoothly.

The townspeople no longer reject them, or in other words, the attitude of more of them has tended to be "indifferent", and let this group of outsiders toss.

The mayor gave them the office hall in the town as a base for treatment. Since the town has been in a state of shutdown recently, the staff dormitory behind has also been vacant, just enough for them to live together.

Qin Luyi set "rules" for the people in the team. Whether it is a doctor or a volunteer, they must take anti-infection measures before contacting patients every day, and they must avoid direct contact completely to prevent themselves from being infected.

There were more than 20 people in the group, and everyone had their own jobs. Wen Xiangnan had the softest temper, and Su Lian the most lively, so they were assigned to comfort the patients.

A few young doctors are in charge of seeing patients, while older ones are studying medical cases beside them, and the rest of the volunteers are also assigned tasks such as cleaning water sources.

The long-term cooperation has allowed the two teams to have an excellent tacit understanding. After a period of running-in, the two teams have also gotten used to each other and are on the right track.

Wen Xiangnan estimated the time in the middle, and asked for leave with Meng Ye. His grades have been very good, and Meng Ye agreed without saying a word.

To be honest, Wen Xiangnan's work of appeasing people did not go well.

Many people in the town are silent even when they come to see a doctor. They don't want to communicate with others. Although they don't reject them anymore, they are still vigilant in their hearts. Come, it is impossible for them to be without resentment in their hearts.

Therefore, Wen Xiangnan has been hitting a wall.

When they were refused to communicate again, Wen Xiangnan and Su Lian sat together with a headache and discussed with each other how to solve the problem.

Wen Xiangnan suddenly remembered that when they first entered the town, they met that child and wanted to talk to him, but the woman with a bad attitude rushed out.

He clapped his hands suddenly: "Yes! We can start with the children first!"

He ran back to the room, took out a large jar of sugar and put it on the table.

Su Lian couldn't help laughing: "Your habit of bringing sugar has not changed."

Every time Wen Xiangnan volunteered, she would bring a large jar of candy. She asked why before, and Wen Xiangnan replied that she would always meet children when volunteering, and they would be happy if they gave them two candies.

She Wen Xiangnan skillfully opened the sugar jar and took out the candy, handed Su Lian a few, then grabbed a handful and ran to the treatment area to distribute the candies, turning her head and saying: "This is a good habit, you shouldn't change it!"

He remembered that Doctor Qin seemed to like grape-flavored things very much, so most of the sugar he gave him was grape-flavored.

Qin Luyi was taking notes at first, and each person who came to see the doctor had different symptoms, and it was very cumbersome to record them all. He had a faint headache, but just as he put down his pen and pressed his temple, he saw a large lump in front of him. Bring the sugar here.

He looked up along the way, and Wen Xiangnan stared at him with bright eyes, looking expectant: "Does Doctor Qin eat candy?"

Qin Luyi squeezed the space between his eyebrows, feeling that he somehow looked like his little niece, every time his little niece bought candy, she would immediately hold it to him, and softly asked, "Uncle, can you eat candy?" .”

His soft tone and expectant expression made it hard for him to refuse every time.

He reluctantly took the candy: "Thanks."

In front of Wen Xiangnan, he peeled off one and stuffed it into his mouth. A sweet and sour taste spread between his lips and teeth. Seeing Wen Xiangnan happily running to distribute candy to other people, he just had a faint headache. All were washed away.

The patients who came to see the doctor were also given a candy by hand.

The first woman who met them was also in the line of seeing a doctor. She was still wearing a big hood, holding a child in her hand, and was stuffed with a handful of candy by the enthusiastic Wen Xiangnan. He was very contagious. smile.

She was originally indifferent and stiff, but the moment she got the candy, she suddenly felt a little dazed.

Looking around, the doctor in a white coat speaks softly and asks the patient's symptoms and feelings seriously. The young man in volunteer uniform is not depressed even if he hits a wall, and is still trying to chat with them. Everyone's face is full of enthusiasm Big smile.

Such a fresh breath.

As if breaking through the gloom over the town, a flower called hope blooms in the lowest dust.

She suddenly had the urge to cry—they were not abandoned.

Regardless of responsibilities and interests, some people are still working hard, trying their best to pass on warmth and love to them.

The author has something to say: You have never been abandoned
