"This is sulfonamide!" Ning Zhiheng snatched it away. "Great! This is really great! Sixth Brother, you actually have sulfonamide! I will definitely repay you handsomely!"
Ning Zhiheng was so concerned that he became flustered, and his emotions fluctuated wildly. Sulfonamide was the best anti-inflammatory drug of the time. It had just been invented and the human body had no resistance to it. It was especially effective in treating external injuries. It could be said that with sulfonamide, Miao Yongyi's life was saved.
You Laoliu laughed and said to Ning Zhiheng, "Captain Ning, you're too kind. This medicine is for saving the lives of the soldiers fighting against the Japanese. Consider it a token of my appreciation. No need to thank me! As long as it's for protecting our country, I, You Laoliu, will never say a word."
Ning Zhiheng nodded heavily at You Laoliu's words. Now, regardless of the region or age, everyone is wholeheartedly dedicating themselves to the war of resistance, without regard for reward or loss. Even these gang members are the same. The blood in the hearts of the Chinese people is hot!
Ning Zhiheng gently opened the medicine box and saw three vials of sulfonamide inside. Although the dosage was small, it was enough to treat Miao Yongyi. Each vial of sulfonamide was more valuable than gold, especially in Shanghai where the supply of medicine had been exhausted. Each vial was extremely expensive. He felt he owed a huge favor this time, and Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but look at You Laoliu with gratitude.
Back then, when five large boxes of sulfonamides were placed in front of Ning Zhiheng, he didn't realize how precious these three were, as they represented Miao Yongyi's life!
Ning Zhiheng carefully closed the medicine box, turned around and walked quickly towards Depu Hospital. Now that he had the medicine, he had to administer it to Miao Yongyi as soon as possible, just in case.
Upon entering the hospital, Ning Zhiheng quickly found Dr. Li in his office. He placed the medicine box on Dr. Li's desk and urged, "Dr. Li, this is three vials of sulfamethoxazole. Administer the medication to Miao Yongyi immediately!"
Ning Zhiheng's words made Dr. Li stand up from his seat. He carefully took the needle box, opened it, and confirmed that it contained sulfamethoxazole. He couldn't help but glance at the major officer opposite him again.
He never expected that the young major would actually bring back three vials of sulfonamides just an hour after he left.
"I'll administer the medicine right away!" Dr. Li nodded and quickly went out the door, with Ning Zhiheng following closely behind. He wanted to watch the doctor administer the medicine to Miao Yongyi with his own eyes. It wasn't that he was reluctant or didn't trust Dr. Li, but Miao Yongyi's life was at stake, and he couldn't afford to make any mistakes!
The two arrived at a ward. Because Miao Yongyi was a military officer, he was also arranged to stay in a ward. However, the ward was already full of beds. Dr. Li and Ning Zhiheng came to Miao Yongyi's bedside and said to a female nurse beside them, "Give him his medicine immediately!"
The nurse was taken aback. Where would she find medicine in the hospital? But when she looked down and saw the medicine box in Dr. Li's hand, she quickly took it, opened it, and her eyes lit up. This was the best anti-inflammatory medicine!
She quickly took out a syringe, skillfully operated it, and injected it into Miao Yongyi. Ning Zhiheng watched the injection complete before his heart finally settled down.
But at that moment, a major in the next hospital bed shouted, "Why does he have medicine? Why does he have medicine?"
At this point, the major got off the bed, stepped forward to grab the medicine box from the nurse's hand, and exclaimed, "This is sulfonamide! You still have sulfonamide!"
Ning Zhiheng reacted extremely quickly. As the major rushed over, he moved forward and stood in front of the nurse. With a gentle push on the nurse's shoulder, the major was shoved back onto the bed with a muffled groan, unable to move.
But he kept saying, "You have medicine, why don't you give it to Old Chen? He's burning up and he's about to die!"
As he spoke, he tried to struggle to get up, preparing to pounce on him again. Ning Zhiheng frowned, ready to teach him a lesson.
This sulfonamide is for Miao Yongyi's life. Don't even think about taking it from him today, not even if the Chief of Staff were standing right in front of him.
Dr. Li quickly stepped forward and pressed the officer down, anxiously saying, "Your wound cannot be shaken. Don't be impulsive. This officer got this sulfonamide himself; our hospital has been out of it for a long time."
After saying that, he quickly said to the nurse, "Check his wound again immediately, it's very likely that he has broken free."
But the officer completely disregarded his own injuries. He grabbed Dr. Li's hand and pleaded repeatedly, "Doctor, please give Old Chen some more medicine!"
Then he pointed to a companion on the hospital bed next to him, who was already unconscious from the fever, and pleaded with Ning Zhiheng, "Brother, sell me one vial of this sulfamethoxazole, I'll pay any price, as long as it can save my brother's life!"
Ning Zhiheng then realized that the officer had not seized the sulfonamides for his own use, but for his comrades. After learning the truth, the murderous look on his face softened.
The camaraderie between soldiers is such that they can entrust their backs to each other. Ning Zhiheng completely understands why this officer made such a reckless move for his comrade, out of concern for his comrade's safety.
Just like with Miao Yongyi, he was willing to go through fire and water for him without hesitation. However, while he could sympathize with Miao Yongyi, he could not do so at the expense of Miao Yongyi's safety.
So while he understood, he absolutely could not afford to lose the medicine. One dose of sulfonamide could not guarantee that Miao Yongyi's condition would not relapse. If he was infected again, he would have to use it again. Ning Zhiheng had to ensure that Miao Yongyi's life was safe.
Ning Zhiheng softened his voice as much as possible and explained, "I'm sorry, I only managed to get this much medicine, barely enough to save my brother's life. I can't give it to you, no matter how much money you offer!"
