As she spoke, Bai Yue pressed the switch on the back door: "Let's move them first. Let's sort them by category as before, so it will be easier when the patient arrives."
"Alright!" Ah Chen nodded eagerly, waving to his younger brothers who were standing in a row behind him: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help Dr. Bai! Be careful, or I'll have Mom and Dad skin you alive!"
A young man of similar age below him muttered, "We all work for Dr. Bai. He's only two hours older than me, so what's with all the arrogance?"
Ah Chen narrowed his eyes: "Ah Xi, what are you muttering about?"
Ah-Xi immediately stood at attention: "It's alright, I agree with you, Big Brother! The younger brothers will definitely take good care of these things."
The other brothers were also suppressing their laughter, clearly having long been used to Ah-Xi's 'arrogance at first, obsequiousness later' attitude. They stretched their bodies and then went forward together to open the back door.
Bai Yue walked to the passenger seat and took out the first-aid kit and the protective gear that had been prepared beforehand.
He put the gloves aside, put on medical gloves, and asked Ah Chen, "I heard something's happened in the slums lately. You're well-informed, do you know anything?"
Ah Chen scratched his head, somewhat hesitantly: "This... Dr. Bai, I don't quite understand either. You should ask Miss Bai; she'll definitely know."
"Okay, I see... Alright then."
Seeing Ah Chen's attitude, Bai Yue didn't press the matter. But based on what she had seen and heard along the way, she had a pretty good idea of what was going on. With the influx of Ursus refugees, it was highly likely that the Reunion Movement had also infiltrated the area.
Troublesome matters.
But it's none of my business, Bai Yue thought indifferently. He didn't have the sense of responsibility to take on everything himself. If the sky falls, there are always tall people to hold it up. He just needed to do his job properly.
Before long, with the help of Ah Chen and his seven brothers, everything in the back of the truck was moved into the courtyard, where a temporary medical point was set up.
Bai Yue was also dressed in protective gear, complete with a mask, respirator, and so on, as if she were protecting herself from something.
After seeing Bai Yue like this, Ah Chen and the others were not surprised.
At first, I didn't know and thought he looked down on us 'trash' from the slums, and I felt a little resentful. But when I saw that he actually dared to accept patients with Oripathy, my resentment turned into shame.
Damn, is this some kind of saint reincarnated?
You have to understand that even in the slums, the infected are the lowest of the low. No one cares about their lives or deaths... no, it's that they don't care how they live, but they are afraid of the Originium dust that will be produced when they die and explode, which is a curse that kills anyone who touches it.
Normal people would only keep their distance from them.
After finishing their physical labor, the seven brothers put on protective suits. Next, they would work as helpers to maintain order at the scene and distribute medicines.
With everything ready, patients arrived at the compound one after another, each carrying a crumpled piece of paper. Ah Chen stood at the entrance, checking the information on each piece of paper one by one, and only letting them in after confirming that everything was correct.
When patients arrive without a slip of paper, having only heard about the place, Ah-Hsi will have them register their information and then give them a brand new slip of paper, which will serve as their medical record from then on.
Bai Yue sat behind the makeshift examination table and began to treat the patient in an orderly manner.
The first patient was an elderly man named Zalak with gray hair, who was coughing quite badly.
Bai Yue frowned when she saw him and said, "Old Xu, didn't you hear what I told you last time? Don't go to dusty places anymore, it's not good for your health. Did you take the medicine I prescribed last time on time?"
The old man, Zalak, hesitated, "I've been taking it on time, and it's been very effective, but... Dr. Bai, I have no choice. I have to collect scrap metal to sell and make a living..."
Helpless, Bai Yue examined him again and then wrote out a prescription:
“Old Xu, you can’t go on like this. Have your son come back and take care of you. Make sure he takes his medicine on time for a few months. Your illness isn’t incurable.”
Old Xu's lips twitched, and he forced a smile: "It's not easy for kids to make a living. If they lose their jobs, I don't know what they'll do. I'll just hang in there."
Bai Yue stopped trying to persuade him and gave him the prescription: "Alright, go get the medicine from A-Jin. It's still a month's supply."
"Oh, thank you, Dr. Bai." Old Xu stood up, expressing his gratitude profusely.
Bai Yue waved her hand in response: "Next!"
The second patient was a tired-looking woman named Felin, who was holding a daughter of about five years old in her arms. The little girl looked timid and buried her face in her mother's arms, not daring to look up.
The woman in the film forced a smile at Bai Yue: "Dr. Bai, I felt much better after taking your medicine last time, but recently I've been feeling a bit weak. I don't know why. Could you take a look?"
Bai Yue knew what was wrong with her without even looking, but she still took her pulse and went through the motions: "Overwork, get plenty of rest, especially make sure you get enough sleep..."
As he spoke, he felt he had said a lot of nonsense, and silently wrote down the prescription: "Go and get the medicine. Continue taking the medicine from last time to treat the root cause of the illness. The new medicine can effectively replenish your energy, but you still need to pay attention to your daily life. Your child still needs you."
"Thank you, Dr. Bai." The woman, Philin, stood up, hugging her daughter tightly, and bowed.
"next."
Chapter 12: The Free Clinic Ends
Time flew by and it was noon; the number of patients gathered near the compound had decreased significantly.
The intense mental exertion left Bai Yue slightly tired. She waved to A Chen, who was not far away, and said, "I'm going to have a drink of water and rest for a few minutes. Tell the patients to wait for two minutes."
“No problem!” Ah Chen said with a ‘leave it to me’ attitude, and skillfully began to arrange the patient’s care.
Bai Yue took off her mask, wiped the thin layer of sweat from her face, then casually opened a bottle of glucose and began to sip it. This was always the case during her free clinics; there was no time to eat, otherwise it would delay things.
After catching her breath for a while, Bai Yue put her mask back on and continued her diagnosis.
Chen Huijie, watching from a distance, felt a pang of sympathy for him, but ultimately didn't get out of the car to visit him, lest she scare away his patients. They had waited so long, it wasn't easy for them, so she didn't want to trouble them further. She would talk to him when she got home that night.
2:32 p.m.
After seeing the last patient, Bai Yue stretched, returned to the driver's seat of the van, changed the breathing mask on her face, and then greeted the seven brothers, including A-Chen:
"Please take precautions. Wear two layers of gloves. Avoid touching the patient's body later. Place all items on the table when you hand them over. Better safe than sorry."
“We know.” Ah Chen nodded, turned around and went into the house to bring out a large box. He poured out a large, thick coat that looked like a military overcoat and said to his younger brothers, “Take one for each of you and wear it. Don’t be afraid of the heat. If you get Oripathy, your life will be ruined!”
"Okay." The six younger brothers agreed in unison, and although they were somewhat reluctant, they still put them on properly.
"Damn it, thank goodness it's not summer, or we'd be dying of heat!" Ah-Xi complained to her brothers. "I think the protective suits the young lady gave us were pretty good, how could they possibly tear?"
Ah Jin patted his clothes: "Then go tell Mom. She's the one who told us to wear this. Be grateful. If we got carbide disease, we might not even outlive our parents."
Ah Chen came over and casually punched Ah Xi: "Alright, alright, stop babbling. Be careful when the patient comes later!"
"Big brother, stop hitting my head! You're going to make me stupid!" Ah Xi protested.
Ah Chen rolled his eyes: "If I don't beat your older brother, I'm afraid you'll do something stupid!"
After chatting for a while, the seven brothers didn't waste any time. Ah Chen opened the side gate of the courtyard and greeted the outside: "Line up, keep half a meter apart, one at a time."
The infected people who had already gathered outside immediately obeyed and did as instructed, their silence conveying order.
The first person to walk in was a Sarkaz infected person.
Bai Yue wasn't surprised to see him, after all, the slums of Lungmen were so inclusive, and our Sarkaz family was indeed scattered all over the world.
He was thin, with protruding clusters of Originium crystals on his arms, and his eyes were dark. He slowly walked to the examination table:
"Doctor, it hurts, it hurts so much, I feel like I can't take it anymore..."
Bai Yue remained calm and asked, "How long has this been going on? What's the interval between your recent episodes? Have you experienced any hallucinations?..."
The Sarkaz man answered each question: "It's been with me since birth, and recently it's been happening almost every two days. I think I see my mother in my dreams... but I can't see her face clearly..."
In the end, he silently shed tears and said no more.
Birth, loss, Oripathy, hunger, death... these seem to have become the norm for the Sarkaz.
Bai Yue carefully examined him and gave a diagnosis: "The situation is not optimistic. The Originium has penetrated deep into the bone marrow. At present, we can only try our best to control the development of the disease and alleviate the symptoms."
As he spoke, he wrote down a prescription and handed it to Ah Chen beside him: "Go get the medicine, and give me the maximum dosage."
"I will do my best to help you," Bai Yue said softly. "Take good care of yourself and avoid heavy physical labor. If you need any medication, come to me. I will come every two weeks."
The Sarkaz man stared at him blankly, murmuring in Sarkaz, "Mama."
Bai Yue was slightly taken aback, and some complicated emotions welled up in her heart. She wanted to say something, but found her words to be so pale. She could only continue to give the doctor's instructions and remind him not to overdose on the medicine.
"Yes." The Sarkaz man nodded earnestly, as if trying to etch these words into his heart.
Ah Chen quickly prepared the medicine.
Bai Yue took it and placed it in his hand herself: "Go back now, drive carefully."
"Hmm." The Sarkaz man stood up, turning back again and again, as if reluctant to leave.
Next, Bai Yue received one infected person after another. They all had their own stories and their own misfortunes, as if the world had poured all its malice into them.
Bai Yue listened attentively, carefully inquired about the patient's condition, prescribed medication, and ended by saying a few kind words about not charging a fee.
......
As dusk fell, the courtyard lights came on.
After seeing off the last infected patient, Bai Yue took out a small notebook and wrote down some things that only he could understand. Some of the infected patients had come back for follow-up visits several times and were doing well. He needed to adjust his prescriptions based on this usage data.
As for whether one person can do something so complex, well... let's not delve into that. The answer is simply: [Medical Expertise]!
The seven brothers, Ah Chen and Ah Chen, also carried sprayers and began disinfecting the compound.
After Bai Yue finished writing her notes, she was about to look up and thank the seven brothers, A Chen, when she saw a purple-haired Zhalak girl walking straight towards her.
"Good evening, Miss!" x7
Ah Chen and his seven brothers bowed in unison.
"Yes, you've all worked hard." Lin Yuxia waved casually, walked up to Bai Yue, and seeing the puzzled look in his eyes, smiled and said, "What's wrong, busy man? Are you surprised to see me?"
Bai Yue took off her mask, grabbed a tissue, and wiped the sweat from her face: "Yeah, Sister Yuxia, what are you doing here so late? Have you eaten yet?"
Lin Yuxia gently shook her head: "No, just finished taking care of things, just like you. Shall we go have a meal together?"
"Okay." Bai Yue replied without hesitation, quickly removing her protective gear and stretching. "Hmm~, I've been busy all day, I'm really hungry. Should we go to some fancy hotel? The Xingyue restaurant I went to last time was pretty good, or Xiyan is fine too..."
Lin Yuxia stepped forward and flicked him on the forehead, saying directly, "We don't have these things in our slums. At most, we'll invite you to my house for a simple meal. Are you coming or not?"
“I’m not going!” Bai Yue said immediately, without the slightest hesitation.
"Protest denied!" Lin Yuxia crossed her arms, her face brooking no argument.
Bai Yue wasn't afraid at all, and immediately put her hands on her hips to confront him: "I don't want to see your dad's face. Do you know what he said to me last time?"
"What did you say?" Lin Yuxia asked curiously.
Bai Yue immediately cleared his throat, hunched over, and imitated an old man's voice: "Kid, here's a million Lungmen dollars, get away from my daughter!"
'Pfft~' Lin Yuxia couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, 'Really? Dad really said that?'
"More than that!" Bai Yue's eyes widened, gesturing wildly with her hands. "The way he looked at me then, it was like he wanted to tear me apart and eat me alive..."
Lin Yuxia raised her hand to interrupt him, and asked curiously:
"Then what did you say?"
"Of course I want it! It's a million!" Bai Yue said smugly.
Lin Yuxia felt her vision go black. Damn it, was she only worth a million?
"Come on, get in the car with me!"
"Sister Yuxia, no!"
Chapter 13 Old Deng, is it safe for me to leave my car in front of your house?
An ordinary little courtyard, with its wooden fence seemingly withered yet not quite, exudes a unique sense of history.
A black luxury sedan and a white minivan parked one after the other at the entrance of the courtyard.
Bai Yue reluctantly got out of the van, scratched her head at Lin Yuxia who was standing in front of her with her arms crossed, and said apologetically, "Sister Yuxia, how about I go back? I'll treat you to a meal next time."
"Use the money my dad gave me?" Lin Yuxia rolled her eyes and pointed at Bai Yue's face, "You're really something, daring to take this money. Don't you find it too hot to handle?"
"Hey!" Bai Yue tried to bluff her way out, taking a small half-step back.
But Lin Yuxia reached out and pinched his face, then walked directly into the courtyard.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Bai Yue quickly jogged to catch up, her face contorted in pain. "Sister Yuxia, do you think Uncle Lin will beat me to death?"
Lin Yuxia said irritably, "You're scared now? Why didn't you do this earlier? Since you've already done it, don't be afraid. With me here, you won't die."
"..."
Bai Yue remained silent, simply awaiting the judgment to come.
The path inside the courtyard is paved with irregular stones, and there are vegetable gardens on both sides. The lush green vegetables look so tempting. In a mobile city, it's not easy to get a bite like this.
Without hesitation, Lin Yuxia pushed open the door and said, "Dad, I'm back."
"Hmm?" Rat King Lin Gerui turned around, the corners of his mouth that had been turned up disappeared the moment he saw Bai Yue, and his mouth twitched: "Yuxia, what's going on?"
Bai Yue silently pulled away from Lin Yuxia's hand, hid behind her, and silently prayed: You can't see me, you can't see me...
