Chapter 60 A gentleman dies for justice and is ready to die
Although Su Nanxing was a little girl, she was not timid when she spoke. She looked at the others bravely with her bright black eyes.
The doctors were almost persuaded by her, but they soon came to their senses.
"Little girl, it's not that we don't want you to try the medicine, but this prescription is too strong. These people may not be able to bear it."
"Human life is not a joke, nor is it a tool for you to gain fame and fortune."
"You are too young and take it for granted. This prescription is obviously not going to work."
Su Baishou disagreed: "Our Nanxing's prescription is indeed a bit extreme, but I think it still has its merits."
"Whether it is effective or not, our say does not count. We have to try it first."
A doctor got angry and said, "Try? Who is willing to risk their life for you to try?" A
woman heard this and said without hesitation, "I agree with Miss Nanxing's idea. I am willing to let my son Awen try the medicine."
It's not that she is generous, but that the epidemic is getting more and more serious. Although it has been brought under control now, people are still dying.
Every time she saw someone being carried away, she couldn't help wondering if it would be her son who was carried away next time.
Instead of waiting to die here, it's better to give it a try, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope.
"Let my son try the drug. If it fails, he will just die. If it succeeds, it can save everyone's life!"
"Yes, if it succeeds, it can save everyone's life..."
"Doctor Su, I also want to participate in the drug trial." A man stood up: "My whole family has contracted the epidemic. I am in the best health. I will try the drug. If it succeeds, they can be saved."
"Me, let me try the drug."
"I will also participate in the drug trial!"
"I can do it too!"
"..."
Many people stood up and were willing to try the drug, even some seriously ill patients were willing to participate. Seeing everyone's support, the doctors stopped talking.
"Since everyone is willing, let's try it."
"With so many of us doctors here, nothing serious will happen."
For the convenience of management, they gathered the patients together and divided them into two areas, one area for those who are willing to try the medicine, and one area for those who are not willing to try the medicine.
Because the prescription is relatively strong, in order to strengthen the patients' physical fitness, the meals in the drug trial area are better than those in the ordinary area.
The patients in the ordinary area who don't need to try the medicine are jealous.
"Are you still short of people for the drug trial?"
"I'm a lonely man, and I'm going to die anyway. I might as well go for the drug trial so that I can have something good to eat before I die."
"That's right, I want to eat something good too."
More and more people are willing to try the medicine, and Su Nanxing, as the person who proposed the prescription, is getting busier and busier.
After just a few days, the patients actually showed improvement, but Su Nanxing's body became more and more haggard. Even with the sweet food she was fed remotely and Li Zhi's small stove, Su Nanxing's face became paler and paler.
"Nanxing, sit down and rest for a while, drink some water and take a break. I'll help you take care of those patients!"
Li Zhi was so distressed to see Su Nanxing like this that he forced Su Nanxing to rest.
Su Nanxing had no choice but to sit down and eat the bread that Li Zhi brought her.
The bread was soft and delicious, but she had no appetite for it. It tasted like wax.
She felt a little cold for no reason while eating the bread.
Watching Li Zhi walking through the crowd and taking care of these patients, there was more warmth in her eyes.
"Mom, I feel better now, not as bad as I did a few days ago."
As the first person to participate in the drug trial, Awen recovered quickly. After a few days, he no longer had a fever, and the ulcers and bleeding on
his body had begun to scab. Awen's mother hurriedly shouted, "Doctor, doctor, come and see our Awen, he said he is feeling better."
Hearing this, Su Nanxing hurriedly stood up and wanted to see how Awen was doing.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood up, she felt a little dizzy, her eyes spun, and she fell to the ground.
"Nanxing!"
Li Zhi shouted Su Nanxing's name loudly, picked up Su Nanxing, and hurriedly ran towards Su Baishou.
"Grandpa Su, hurry, Nanxing fainted."
Su Baishou saw Su Nanxing fainted, her legs went limp, he endured it, and ran over tremblingly.
His hand was on Su Nanxing's white wrist, and his expression changed drastically.
"Nanxing...how could it be, how could it be like this!"
Su Baishou's breath was blurred, and he almost fainted. Fortunately, Gan Fanren supported him from behind.
"Senior Su, how is Miss Nanxing now?"
"I see her face is slightly red, it seems like she has a high fever. Could it be...she also got the epidemic?"
Su Baishou nodded heavily.
"Yes."
Su Nanxing slowly woke up, and she held Su Baishou's wrinkled and old hand.
"Grandpa, I'm fine. I'm just in a mild case. Even if I die, it will take more than ten days."
"Awen is still waiting for me. I want to go and see how he is doing."
Su Nanxing patted Li Zhi's arm, signaling Li Zhi to let her go, but Li Zhi's eyes were red and he remained silent.
"Idiot, let me go."
Li Zhi said angrily, "You can't leave. You are sick. You have to stay here and get well."
Su Baishou also held her hand tightly and didn't let go: "Don't forget, there are many doctors here. We can all take care of patients. You are sick now and you should rest well. We will take care of the rest."
"No, I am different from other doctors. I proposed the improved prescription. If I fall down at this time, it will definitely cause panic."
Seeing that Li Zhi was unwilling to let go, Su Nanxing struggled.
At this moment, Gongsun Yue appeared behind everyone out of nowhere.
"A gentleman dies for justice and is ready to die."
"Miss Nanxing, you are really admirable."
"I used to think that women were weak and didn't understand justice. I was narrow-minded." After
hearing Gongsun Yue's words, the spirit and energy in Su Lao seemed to be drained away all of a sudden.
His back bent down all of a sudden.
"Even if I have to die, it should be me who dies!"
"I don't understand what a gentleman is. If you want to go, go. But we have agreed that you must take care of yourself."
Li Zhi loosened the shackles and let Su Nanxing go.
Su Nanxing forced a smile: "I know... idiot."
This idiot, younger than her, insisted on taking care of her. Isn't he stupid?
Su Nanxing knew that she had the epidemic, and she felt that time was running out. She went to see how Awen was doing first.
Ah Wen's pulse, which was weak at first, became strong.
She was delighted: "Great, Ah Wen's condition has improved!"
She then examined several other patients.
"Great, great."
"Your condition has indeed improved. It won't be long before you are cured."
