nine dead doctors

Chapter 264 The Dilapidated Gold Mining Town

"The scenery here is not bad, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, but why is it so deserted?" After the five buses were resupplied in the provincial capital of Anzhou, they slowly drove to Ganzhou Province. The destination Xu Zhuo and the others are going to now is A town located at the junction of Anzhou and Ganzhou provinces.

The medical facilities in this town are extremely backward. The only hospital closed down for some inexplicable reasons, and there are only a few private clinics left. It is extremely inconvenient for ordinary people to see a doctor.Moreover, private clinics are expensive, and they cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance. Therefore, many townspeople do not bother to go to the clinic when they suffer from minor illnesses.

The Qin family stockade has long been a thing of the past. Xu Zhuo and the others stayed in the Qin family stockade for two days. After undergoing the necessary free clinics and physical examinations, they moved to the next venue. Still came to the provincial capital of Anzhou for supplies.

After all, counting all the free clinics, they have conducted a full five, all kinds of food, drinking water, and medicine are almost consumed. After the supplies in the provincial capital of Anzhou are full, the free clinic team rested for half a day, and then set off again. The sixth destination is this town.

"The place we are going to now is a small town that was said to be very prosperous in the past. In the past, gold mines were discovered in this place, which attracted countless gold prospectors, and there were also companies contracted for development, construction of resorts, hotels, etc. Unfortunately, , the good times don’t last long, the prosperity will eventually come to an end, maybe it’s because the gold mines have been mined, maybe it’s because of some other unknown reasons, this town suddenly fell overnight, which is embarrassing.”

"A place that could have been developed into a county town eventually declined, and its popularity was not as good as that of a township."

On the Panshan Highway, inside the bus, everyone can see the dilapidated town at the bottom of the mountain from a distance. There are many houses in the small town, and the scale looks large, but there are not many people on the street in broad daylight, which is really weird. It's also the reason everyone says it's deserted, because it's not popular.Captain Sun Simiao gave everyone the past history of the popular science town with great emotion, explaining the rise, fall and changes.

The ten locations of the free clinic tour were all selected in advance. As the team leader, Sun Simiao naturally researched each location in advance, knowing some local history, economy, medical facilities, customs and so on.

"There used to be a gold mine in this place? Will there be any remaining gold?" Zeng Yulan's eyes lit up immediately, and he yelled strangely.

"Hehe, maybe there is. If you take a walk by the river, you may be able to pick up the legendary dog's head gold!" A female nurse laughed and joked.

"Hey, you guys are thinking too much. After so many years, even a grain of gold sand may have been scoured away by someone. How could there be any gold left. Even if there is, it is rare. It is hard to come by. Otherwise, people will die for money, and birds will die for food, and I don’t know how many people will come here to pan for gold.” A young male doctor retorted, throwing cold water.

Another male doctor said: "Yes, most of the gold is gone. There used to be a lot of mines. It is said that the mines are like a labyrinth. It is difficult for unfamiliar people to find out after entering."

"The mine is too dark and scary, so I don't want to go! Goofy gold? You've already said it's a legend, so how can you have such bad luck!"

……

What everyone said to you, and what I said to me, were all about Jin Zi, only the captain, Sun Simiao, was silent in thought.

"Captain, what's the matter? Are you not in high spirits?" Someone called out to Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao shook his head, then looked at the people in the car, and said to everyone in a very solemn and serious tone: "Actually, there is one thing I haven't told everyone. According to the information I collected, this Jin The mining town is very strange. Maybe it was because of some serious pollution caused by mining, or maybe it was because of some other reasons. The residents of this town generally don’t live to be 40 years old. There are many diseases and low immunity, so this town is also called short-lived town!"

"What? Longevity Town? There is such a thing?"

"Could it be that the heavy metals in the water in this place exceed the standard?"

"It may also be radiation. Some rocks are very radioactive. In the long run, there will be problems."

Everyone guessed and was surprised.

Sun Simiao shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.I only know that the local government is actually very taboo about this matter. Therefore, few people report this kind of thing on the Internet. Even if someone posts it occasionally, it is quickly deleted, and those who see it just think it is Some editors did not pay too much attention to their sensational works.After all, there is so much fake news these days.Not many people watched it, so naturally it couldn't create a sensational effect.

"Everything, you have to go to know."

"In addition, what I want to tell you is that we are risking our lives when we go to this small town. The mysterious factors in it are very likely to endanger our health and make us short-lived. Everyone should be mentally prepared. "Captain Sun Simiao vaccinated everyone.

However, it has provoked constant rebuttals from everyone.

"Boss Captain, you really underestimate people! In the past, Bethune was able to save people even under fire, so we are still afraid of these unnecessary things?"

"I think it's also possible that the people here have bad ancestral genes. In addition, the impact on health is also a chronic event. We only stay for two or three days at the free clinic, so it shouldn't be a big problem!"

"Anxiety for people's urgency, need for people's needs, saving lives and healing the wounded is our doctor's job. How can we be afraid of difficulties?"

"That's right, we are here to send love, we are needed here, we are not afraid of difficulties, and bravely give free treatment! Well, the beautiful reporters of the TV station, why don't you hurry up and film this inspirational scene!"

The beautiful reporter Liu Shasha patted the camera on her shoulders, and said with a smile, "Does it need to be said, we have already captured your heroic image!"

"Ah! You people, is it because there are cameras facing you that you are so upright and awe-inspiring, and you have a set of words in the scene?"

Everyone laughed: "You guessed it all!" "You just found out? Haha, it's not too late to show yourself!"

……

Although the weather is hot and the conditions are difficult, everyone laughs and laughs all the way, and everyone is full of energy and spirit. Soon, in about twenty minutes, the bus arrived at the town at the foot of the mountain and stopped at a hotel that looked good. Front.

The town is very large, with many houses, just like a small county town, but most of the houses are dilapidated, obviously old, and many of them are uninhabited "haunted houses", full of vines and plants, which makes people look, In broad daylight, there can be a gloomy, chilly feeling in the back.

It had been a long time since there were so many guests. The proprietress of the inn was very happy, she came out to greet them with a smile on her face, beckoned everyone to check in, and ordered the staff to prepare meals.The proprietress is also quite good at doing business, and "the scale is relatively large", which seems to be "very high-end" in the small town. The first floor of the hotel is actually a restaurant. The combination of the restaurant and the hotel is another town It is the only large-scale catering and accommodation place in the world. Although the business was deserted in the past, it can still operate.

Originally, the free clinic team planned to stay in a hotel. Although there were tents to live in, they were all in the countryside and there was no hotel. It was a last resort. Now that the free clinic is being held in a town, it is naturally more comfortable to stay in a hotel.

At least, in this summer, there are air-conditioned bathrooms in the hotel anyway.It is convenient to go to the toilet, take a shower, and change clothes.Especially for female doctors and nurses.

The meals in this hotel are not top-notch delicacies, just ordinary home-cooked dishes, and the chefs are average, but this is so, and the staff of the free medical team who are tired of eating instant noodles and ham sausages enjoyed it. It can be called "big food" "Satisfy your mouth", "Great your appetite", because everyone is really fading out of their mouths.

While serving the food, the proprietress also chatted with the staff of the free clinic team and asked them what they were here for. When Xu Zhuo and the others said that they were doing a free clinic tour, they would be donating medical treatment and administering medicine in the small town tomorrow. , it was the sixth session of the free clinic tour, the proprietress immediately respected in awe, poured a full glass of wine herself, toasted everyone, saying that Xu Zhuo and the others are angels in white clothes, the cutest people, worthy of three consecutive toasts!
It's a pity that the free clinic team is away from home. According to the hospital's rules and regulations, alcohol is never allowed, but today the sun has set, and they will start the free clinic tomorrow. The proprietress is so enthusiastic. Five boxes of beer is hard to turn down, so Sun Simiao made an exception to let everyone have a good time, but told everyone not to get drunk.I'm really hungry, just drink well.

The proprietress is also a good drinker, with more than 40 degrees of liquor, two or two cups, all in one sip, which made everyone applaud.The atmosphere is also more enthusiastic.In the deserted town, the hustle and bustle here is particularly eye-catching, and some passers-by can't help but look around and miss the prosperity of the past.

During the dinner, everyone also chatted with the proprietress, asking about the other party's family situation, spouse, children and so on.How did I know, but it brought tears to the proprietress.

"Ah~, my life is hard, I will die before 39!" The proprietress herself is 37 or [-] years old, she is in her mid-mature, and she still has charm. At this time, she spoke, but her eyes were red, and tears rolled Falling, ticking on the ground, makes people feel sympathetic.

"What's the matter? Ma'am, are you a widow?" Someone asked.But immediately, people around you rolled their eyes, meaning, why are you speaking so directly, are you already very sad if you don't look at them?

Hearing this, the proprietress was naturally even more sad, as if a scar just happened to be uncovered, tears rolled down like broken pearls, flowing down her face, no matter how much she wiped it off, she couldn't wipe it off completely, Drenched several paper towels.

Not far away, seeing the proprietress so sad, Ni Xiaomiao also looked sad and lowered her head.Xu Zhuo couldn't help but patted her shoulder lightly.Zeng Yulan also held Ni Xiaomiao's hand, leaned close to her ear, and comforted her in a low voice, because Ni Xiaomiao was also a widow, and now that she heard that the proprietress was also a widow, she couldn't help feeling the same.

"Forget my mistake, and I will apologize to you!" The male doctor who said the proprietress was a widow raised his glass, drank it, and apologized to the proprietress.

"It's okay, you're serious! I'll have a drink with you too!" The proprietress wiped her tears and drank the glass of wine in front of her. Mei, there are more words, regardless of whether everyone is willing to listen, anyway, after putting down the wine glass, they opened the chatterbox, and began to complain and talk non-stop.

"My guy died in an accident. He didn't listen to me. He insisted on going to the gold mine to find the missing gold. As a result..."
