I have a magical tree

"What's your name?" Xu Dao asked.

"I don't have a name, mother calls me Bao'er!"

"Then what's your father's last name?"

"The surname is Wu."

"Oh, Wu Bao'er, okay, it sounds okay, then I'll call you A Bao!" Xu Dao wrote down the three words Wu Bao'er on the paper, and then handed it to the little girl.

The little girl was at a loss and rubbed her hands carefully on her clothes before taking the clean paper.

"Do you know how to read?" As soon as Xu Dao spoke, he knew that he had said nonsense.

The little girl shook her head.

"This is your name!" Xu Dao pointed to three words on the paper, "Can you do any work? Sweep the floor and clean the table?"

The little girl nodded.

"Okay, then from now on you can help me sweep the floor and clean the table here, and I'll have food to eat! Is that possible?"

The little girl seemed a little surprised, but nodded quickly.

"I happen to be short of a housekeeper here. You can live here from now on!" Xu Dao motioned for Abao to follow him, took her into the backyard, and then pointed to the house where his little sister once lived.

But the girl stood at the door and didn't dare to go in.

"Go in and take a look?"

Abao then walked in, but he really just took a look, didn't dare to touch anything, and then walked out.

Xu Dao asked again: "Can you cook?"

"meeting!"

"That's just right! We have rice, noodles, and oil here, but you have to cook it yourself! You have three meals a day, and you can eat as much as you like." Xu Dao breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing how to cook would save a lot of things.

The little girl seemed surprised, and Xu Dao realized, who in the average family can eat three meals now? Even for his family, this kind of life didn't start long ago.

"Don't worry, you heard it right, three meals a day." Xu Dao nodded and affirmed.

Then, Xu Dao found some old clothes from his room that he had worn. These were clothes from when he was six or seven years old. They were too small to wear, but they were just right for Abao.

"These are a change of clothes, but they are a bit old!"

After making arrangements, Xu Dao ignored Abao, who was still holding his clothes and was at a loss, and went to the medical center ahead.

"Why?" Abao murmured softly, but she was the only one left here, and no one would give her an answer.

…

Xu Dao, who came to the front yard, glanced at the body still lying on the ground and shook his head.

Half an hour later, the inspection department's corpse truck came over from the other side of the street. When the car approached, he realized that he was still an acquaintance!

"Yan Dutou, Liu Dutou?"

The visitors were none other than Oats and Liu Jian, who were searching for corpses along the street with a few officials.

"Medical Officer Xu?"

"You... why did you do this?" Both of them came out to search for the corpses themselves?

"Uh...this...ahem..." Oats and Liu Jian were speechless. They couldn't tell the truth. It couldn't be said that the two of them were not favored by the superior and were sent here casually, right? In fact, as before, they are the two doing this kind of wasteful, dirty and tiring work.

Okay, Xu Dao probably understood, so he immediately changed the subject and briefly explained what had just happened: "I kept the child, and the woman's body will be handed over to you. Well... if the ashes can be taken away, return……"

"No problem, we will send her ashes to Dr. Xu later!" Oats patted her chest directly. This was a good opportunity to get in touch with the Shang Medical Bureau.

And the most important thing is that he is not disgusted with Xu Dao. At least, people who see the poor children and can take them in will not be bad people.

Liu Jian on the side also nodded. This matter is not a big deal, it is just a simple effort. After the corpse is burned at the crematorium, if the family of the deceased needs to take back the ashes, they can do so. If not, they can just raise the ashes directly.

Xu Dao took out a piece of silver from his pocket, "Sorry to bother you two, I'll treat you two to a drink with this money!"

Oats and Liu Jian waved their hands repeatedly, "What are you doing, Doctor Xu? It's just a small favor, how can you collect money?"

Seeing that the two refused to accept their words, Xu Dao took back the silver and said, "In that case, after you two go on duty, how about I treat you two to a drink?"

Oats and Liu Jian looked at each other, joy flashed in their eyes, and they nodded quickly, "In that case, it's a deal!"

Sure enough, in the evening, Xu Dao saw Oats and Liu Jian walking over with a small jar from a distance.

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!" Oats handed the small jar to Xu Dao.

"Thank you both very much, please wait a moment!" Xu Dao turned back to the backyard and found Abao who was washing clothes.

At this time, Abao had taken a shower and changed his clothes, but he was still ugly and horribly thin, making people unable to believe that this person was still alive.

"These are your mother's ashes, you decide what to do with them."

Xu Dao put the ashes on the table, turned around and left the hospital with Oats and Liu Jian.

Abao watched Xu Dao's figure disappear into the courtyard. After a long time, he stood up, wiped the water on his hands on his clothes, picked up the urn on the table, and held it in his arms for a long time. , then put it down again, turned around and went back to continue washing clothes.

"Auntie, I can eat enough!" She murmured to herself, washing clothes more vigorously.

…

When Yan came upstairs, Xu Dao specially asked for a private room.

"Please, I'm sorry to bother you both about today's affairs!" Xu Dao raised his glass.

But Oats and the other two didn't even dare to say anything, "Sir, you're too polite!"

"Oh, in this world, human life is really worthless!" After drinking for three rounds, Oats gradually relaxed and lost the restraint at the beginning.

Xu Dao nodded when he heard this, "It's indeed worthless!"

"In the past few days, Mazi and I have been driving people to the crematorium one by one. In fact, no matter who they are, as long as they are dead, if they are burned, they can fill a jar." Oats continued to drink. , I feel sad.

Xu Dao was speechless after hearing the words. During this period, he had seen too many dead people.

"No one of those bastards above cares how many people die every day!" Oats slapped the table.

Liu Jian on the side quickly stretched out his hand to pull him away. This guy was drunk again. Can he say such nonsense? Still think their current situation is not miserable enough?

"Why are you holding me back? Can't those bastards say anything? What the hell are you talking about as parents? They are just the parents of the rich, but those refugees outside are not!" Oats was already drunk.

"Sir Xu, I'm just kidding. This guy talks nonsense when he's drunk. Don't take it to heart!" Liu Jian's eyelids twitched.

Xu Dao waved his hand and chuckled, "Brother Yan is really good-tempered! Brother Liu, don't worry that I will mind."

Liu Jian saw that Xu Dao really didn't seem to be telling lies, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. And because of this, his perception of Xu Dao became much better.

"It is truly a blessing to be able to meet Medical Officer Xu today. If Medical Officer Xu gives orders in the future, we will never refuse!" Liu Jian sincerely picked up his wine glass and toasted Xu Dao.

In fact, Xu Dao had a good impression of these two people, because he found that even though these two people were officials, they still had some kindness in their hearts, which was really rare in this world!
