The child's father pleaded firmly:
"Doctor Chen, don't worry. We will definitely give you the money. You must save my child. He is my only child and the heir of our Yunha Village."
Doctor Yuwan was afraid that Chen Xia might not understand what he meant, so he quickly explained to him in a low voice:
"Section Chief Chen, this patient is Yan Bing, the grandson of the headman of Yunha Village, and this is the headman's son, Boyan Shuang. The position of headman in their village will be passed down from generation to generation. Oh, and by the way, Yunha Village is the Emerald Village you're looking for."
When Chen Xia heard this, his eyes lit up like a wolf at night.
This really is a case of good things happening to good people. The protagonists of online novels really do have a "halo of rebirth". They can meet the person they are looking for just by going out and saving a child. Isn't that a coincidence?
This kind of coincidence can only appear in novels and is necessary for the advancement of the plot. After all, the author is the screenwriter and director.
Chen Xia suppressed his excitement and asked curiously, "Hello, do you have jade in Yunha Village?"
The child's father nodded and said, "Yes, there is a small river across the river from our village, which is Myanmar Store. We have been trading jade since the Ming Dynasty. The raw jade is sent to us from the other side of the river. We process it and then sell it to jade factories or supply and marketing cooperatives in China."
Chen Xia wanted to trick him, "Oh, are there many jades now? Are they expensive?"
The child's father shook his head embarrassedly:
"There's a lot of jade, but the price isn't going up. My grandfather told me that jade was popular during the Republic of China, but now it doesn't seem to be very popular in China. We just make a little money from the processing fees."
Chen Xia checked the dripping speed guiltily. It was normal, so he asked in a low voice, "Do you guys gamble on stones?"
In his previous life, online novels contained a lot of descriptions about gambling on stones, which once made Chen Xia very interested.
This time he came to Ruili to collect jadeite because he was influenced by these novels. He also wanted to get some raw stones to play with. One cut can make you rich, another can make you poor. How exciting.
Who knew that the Dai man shook his head and said, "Without gambling on jade, who in our country would dare to gamble openly? Besides, apart from a few regular buyers from the state-owned jade factory, we don't usually see outsiders in our village. If we really want to gamble on jade, we go to Yangon."
When Chen Xia heard this, he couldn't help feeling disappointed. It seemed that he could no longer play the interesting gambling on stones. If he wanted to become a gambling stone expert like Zhuang Rui, he could only imagine it in his own imagination.
However, this piece of information also made him feel at ease. Jadeite from 1981 was indeed not valuable in China, which was a good thing for him.
In Jiegao Health Center, several people were chatting while observing the changes in the young patients.
Director Cui also forgot to go back to the unit. He just wanted to see how much magical effect this 20 yuan per bottle of medicine had.
More than two hours passed like this, and all three bags of liquid were injected into the patient's body. The patient's body temperature miraculously dropped and was only 37.5 degrees, which surprised everyone on the scene.
Even more miraculous was that after the little patient's body was replenished with enough fluids, his eyes slowly opened and he called out softly, "Mom, Dad, I'm thirsty."
This sentence made the Dai people so excited that they wanted to kneel down to Chen Xia again.
Children are truly resilient, especially in a pristine body never before exposed to antibiotics. How could the bacteria within withstand the powerful bactericidal power of a third-generation cephalosporin? They were wiped out in minutes.
After being bombarded with cephalosporin, the bacteria died in batches and the little patient immediately woke up. The effect was visible to the naked eye.
Not to mention a few Dai villagers, even Dean Cui found it incredible.
Chen Xia finally felt relieved and thought of a good way to "get" the jade. It seemed that purchasing jade with cash in Ruili was not a good idea.
Then exchange it for supplies and medicines.
The young patient was transferred to Ruili People's Hospital by Director Cui on the same day, and Chen Xia was also taken there to receive his guidance.
The old man wanted to check on the child's recovery every day so that he could leave some valuable experience for similar cases in the future.
But his calculation was wrong. Currently, only Chen Xia can provide ceftriaxone in the world, so it is of no reference value.
When the young patient first arrived at the hospital, Director Cui specifically asked for a routine blood test. The blood under the microscope was full of white blood cells, which confirmed that it was a bacterial infection, and the inflammatory index was quite high.
Director Cui has been thinking about how to treat such patients.
Ruili People’s Hospital doesn’t even have penicillin now, so can we use streptomycin and oxytetracycline?
If Chen Xia heard this, he would definitely be terrified. These antibiotics are like poison to pediatrics. They can cause huge losses in lawsuits. Why are they used so casually now?
After three days of intravenous transfusion, the little patient recovered completely, the fever subsided, and he ran around in the ward every day, which made his parents very happy. After checking the routine blood test on the fourth day, they were surprised to find that the white blood cell count had recovered.
On the day of discharge, Dao Daguang, the head of Yunha Village, came in person to pick up his grandson from the hospital. After seeing Chen Xia, the old man was so excited that he almost knelt down.
In small frontier areas like these, the policy for ethnic minorities is to let them manage themselves, and the chiefs are hereditary.
If Xiao Yanbing dies this time and the family cannot give birth to a son, it means that the inheritance will be broken.
A small village is also a small world.
So it goes without saying that the old man was very grateful. The key point was that he also heard that a bottle of medicine alone would cost 20 yuan, not including other antipyretic drugs such as glucose. It would be a considerable amount of money over a few days, so he owed him a big favor.
The old man is rich because his family has been in the jade business for generations, but this wealth refers to "fixed assets" and he may not have much cash.
All the money had to be exchanged for food, cloth, salt and other daily necessities, so the whole village lived a tight life.
Seeing the bald man Dao Da take out a pile of banknotes, Chen Xia quickly stopped him. What did he want the money for? Was he waiting for it to depreciate?
"Uncle Dao Daguang, just keep the money. I don't want it."
After these words were spoken, Chen Xia seemed to be filled with compassion. Did this "money-hungry guy" finally find his conscience and decide to save all mankind?
Dao Daguang was quite excited: "I have to accept the money. Without you, I can't protect this child. You must accept the money. We Dai people cannot do such shameless things."
He refused it outright. A man cannot stand without trust. As a leader, he must be honest in order to win the support of the people.
Chen Xia continued to pretend to refuse, "Uncle, it's Xiao Yanbing's good fortune to have met me. Please keep this money. I see you're in a difficult situation too."
Dao Daguang had heard from his son a long time ago that this doctor from another province seemed to be particularly interested in jadeite. The old man was such a smart man that he immediately took out a pair of jadeite bracelets from the backpack he had prepared long ago.
Chen Xia's heartbeat accelerated instantly.
