During the past ten days, Chu Tian became familiar with the people in the car he drove. After chatting with them, he learned that they were basically all teachers from Peking University. Among them, the two that Secretary Jiang asked for special care were Professor Qi and his wife. Their grandson and granddaughter were originally in another car. It happened that the driver had a good relationship with him, so he got the two children into his car to stay with Professor Qi and his wife.

Secretary Jiang fell silent upon hearing this. If possible, he would be willing to go to the commune hospital, but that was not possible. On their return trip, they not only took those people with them, but also a secretary from the Jingshi Farm. The secretary had been with him the whole time, and he wanted to see that those who participated in the labor arrived at their division headquarters safely before he could take the train back.

Chu Tian actually had some antipyretic medicine on him, but he couldn't take it out directly. Seeing Director Jiang's worried look, he thought for a moment and then whispered, "I heard that there's a clinic in the brigade next door. Take a look..."

Secretary Jiang turned his head and looked at Chu Tian. After thinking for a moment, he took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it to Chu Tian, ​​asking, "Captain Chu, I trust you in this temporary fleet. Could you please make a trip?"

"Professor Qi's son and daughter-in-law have both passed away as a result of this movement... The child must not be harmed again..."

"Well, I'll be there in a minute."

Chu Tian was not polite and took the money as soon as he was given it. He was not doing charity. Besides, there were no philanthropists in this era. If you do charity at this time, you are a capitalist!

He did not intend to use the medicine in his own space. Professor Qi was a man who had seen the world. If he suddenly took out medicine that did not belong to this era, it would arouse people's suspicion. Therefore, he planned to go to the clinic of the next brigade to buy some antipyretic medicine.

Officer Jiang nodded and was about to say something when he saw a thinly dressed young man not far away, struggling to walk in one direction under the icy snow, carrying a bundle of firewood on his back. He whispered, "Captain Chu, why do the unfortunate people become more miserable?"

Chu Tian also saw the young man and stared at him. "Secretary Jiang, have you heard a saying?"

Secretary Jiang looked at Chu Tian in confusion, "What?"

Chu Tian said calmly, "A hemp rope only breaks at the thinnest part, and misfortune only finds the unfortunate!"

Secretary Jiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly, "You're right..."

"Professor Qi's family is also pitiful..."

Chu Tian raised his eyebrows slightly, wondering if Director Jiang was comparing Professor Qi's family to that child. Actually, they had noticed that young man since their first day. He and Chu Min were staying next door to the child, so they knew a little about his background. It was said that he was the most miserable family in their brigade, no, in the entire commune.

As for Professor Qi's family, although he did not talk much with Professor Qi and his wife, he knew a few things. His son and daughter-in-law were both top students. They did not want to return to China at first, but Professor Qi felt that the country lacked talents and insisted that they come back. In the first few years after they came back, because they were more open-minded, students liked to listen to their classes and they also taught seriously. In short, everything was good.

However, they were unlucky. After a few years of comfortable life, it was time for them to start exercising. The result was predictable...

However, Chu Tian still felt that Professor Qi's family was not really miserable. At least they had lived smoothly for the past few decades, and only suffered a little in the past ten years. No, since they were brought here by Commander Ge, they might not have to suffer any more in the next few years...

A truly miserable person is just like that child. He has suffered since childhood and has not encountered many things that go well for him in just over a decade.

Chu Tian and Chu Min went to the clinic of the next brigade, thinking that only doctors would be there in the heavy snow, but unexpectedly there were people buying medicine. Chu Tian was stunned when he looked at the boy he had just seen half an hour ago.

A gray-haired old man looked at Chu Tian and Chu Min, feeling very unfamiliar, and asked in the local dialect, "You are not from our team, right?"

Chu Tian had a hard time listening, but he still understood a little bit, "Well, we are staying in the brigade next door."

The old man said "Oh" and continued to ask in his dialect, "What do you want?"

Chu Tian, ​​"I need antipyretics, the child has a fever."

The old man nodded, took a huge bottle from the shelf beside him, poured out two white tablets with thumbs on them, placed them on a square of cut newspaper, thought for a while, and looked up at Chu Tian.

"How old is the child? What other symptoms does she have? Is it just a fever? Is there a cough, vomiting, or anything like that?"

Chu Tian was confused. He looked at Chu Min and said, "Second brother, do you understand?"

Chu Min didn't understand either. He shook his head slowly, "I don't understand. He spoke too fast and said too much at once..."

The silent boy spoke in not-so-perfect Mandarin at this time, "Grandpa Yang wants to ask you, how old is the child now? What other symptoms does he have? Is it just a fever? Does he have a cough or other symptoms..."

"He's eleven or twelve years old. Currently, he has a fever and a slight cough, but no other symptoms."

After saying that, Chu Tian looked at the young man in front of him, and the corners of his lips rose slightly. "Thank you, how old are you?"

In the past three days, Chu Tian saw this young man every day, but he had never seen him so closely. The previous few times he saw him, he only glanced at him from afar. He just thought he was pitifully thin, but couldn't see his appearance clearly.

This close observation reveals that the boy's eyes are truly beautiful, those particularly beautiful phoenix eyes with slightly upturned corners. However, those beautiful eyes lack a trace of emotion that a boy should have, but instead are filled with a sense of vicissitudes of life.

Chu Tian thought that these eyes would look very beautiful if they smiled.

The boy lowered his eyes, "Thirteen"

Chu Tian was about to say something else when he heard the old man speak again, "One cent, take half a white tablet first. If the fever doesn't go away within two hours, take another half tablet. Take the yellow tablet twice a day for two days..."

The young man translated it calmly without waiting for Chu Tian to ask.

Chu Tian quickly took out a dime from his pocket and handed it to the old man. He then took the two packets of medicine from him, said thank you, and turned around and walked out of the house with Chu Min.

Chu Min looked at the vast expanse of white surroundings and muttered, "This place feels much poorer than our regiment..."

Chu Tian glanced at Chu Min and was surprised. "Second brother, how did you feel that?"
