hope

Because it was very late, the lumbar puncture had to wait until tomorrow. With a wave of his hand, Wang Dong took one of the animals from Liu Lingtian's dormitory to stay and guard them, and sent everyone else back to sleep.

After Chen Xu sent Guan Yi home, he returned to his dormitory. As soon as he entered the door, Wu Yuan and several other animals gathered around him, asking all kinds of questions: "Third brother, how do you feel about being with a beautiful woman?!"

"I heard that you guys went on a date together?"

"Tsk, tsk, third child, that's not bad! Work hard and hook up with this goblin!"

Normally, Chen Xu would have exchanged a few words with them, but now Chen Xu was not in that mood. He sighed and said, "I just came back from the hospital. Liu Lingtian... is really rabid."

"Ah?!" The three of them were all surprised. Qin Xiaoan said no, have you been vaccinated? Once you get the vaccine, you should be fine.

Okay, another white one. Seeing even Dong Jiejie nodding beside him, Chen Xu sighed. It seemed that many people still didn't understand how terrible rabies was, and they all thought that a single shot of vaccine could solve the problem.

Wu Yuan quickly opened Baidu next to him. After searching, his face changed drastically and he said: "Lao San, is that guy sure he is infected? Has the meninges or spinal cord been infected?!"

Chen Xu shook his head and said he didn't know yet. Tomorrow the doctor would perform a lumbar puncture on him to collect spinal fluid for testing, but through the saliva test... the situation was not optimistic.

Qin Xiao'an and Dong Qingchen were confused when they heard this. After Wu Yuan explained at the side, their expressions really changed. They were all asking what should they do? !

Chen Xu grabbed his hair and said, I don't know either, I can only wait for the results tomorrow.

Wu Yuan and others looked at each other and fell silent. Although they were all quite unhappy with Liu Lingtian before, the problem was that this unhappiness only had a limit. You can't expect someone to die just because of a trivial matter. This doesn't make sense either emotionally or rationally. Wu Yuan and others believed that what Chen Xu said about "waiting for the results tomorrow" was the results of the spinal fluid examination by isosceles puncture, but little did they know that Chen Xu was actually waiting for Xiao Min's results.

When he came back, he had already asked Xiao Min that there was no treatment method for rabies in the "Health Doctor" program, because after asking this question, the information Xiao Min got from the Health Doctor was only "being killed by a dog or dog" After being bitten by other animals, the wound should be cleaned as soon as possible and then go to the hospital for rabies vaccination..." It also does not mention how to treat the person if he is really infected with rabies virus.

Therefore, Chen Xu could only hold on to the hope of giving it a try and asked Xiao Min to conduct a comprehensive search on the computer using the three keywords "rabies" to see if he could find the corresponding treatment method.

But this job is really huge, because although a lot of data is lost in the hard disk, the available space is not a small amount. In particular, there are a lot of text files in computers, the sizes of which are basically several K or tens of K. In total, there are probably hundreds of millions of searchable files!

With so much data, even with Xiao Min's efficient speed, it would not be possible to search it all in a short time. So now Chen Xu can only wait for her search results to come out, otherwise there is nothing she can do.

In addition, we can only hope that Liu Lingtian is blessed with good fortune and that his spinal cord has not been infected.

The next day, Chen Xu called Guan Yi and went to the hospital together. When he entered Liu Lingtian's ward, he saw a middle-aged woman holding Liu Lingtian's hand and crying, while an old man who looked very old was sitting on the bedside. Covering his face with his hands. Wang Dong was sitting next to him comforting the two old people.

Seeing Chen Xu and Guan Yi come in, Wang Dong immediately came up to him and said, "Uncle Liu, these are classmates Chen Xu and Guan Yi. Yesterday, it was because classmate Chen Xu discovered Liu Lingtian's illness that we decided to send him away." I came to the hospital for a checkup, otherwise no one would know about it now."

Liu Lingtian's father raised his head. His hair was short and covered with silver threads, his forehead was covered with deep wrinkles, and his skin was very dark. It looked like his face had experienced countless hardships and was filled with sadness. He held Chen Xu's hand and couldn't say a word for a long time. Chen Xu could feel the calluses and roughness on his hands, and sighed in his heart. This old man probably had a son from old age, and he seemed to be born as a farmer, but I didn't expect to face such a thing at this time.

Chen Xu winked at Wang Dong, mouthed and asked if the result was out? Wang Dong didn't speak, but nodded heavily.

Although I had thought before that the possibility of not being infected would be very low, there was still a glimmer of hope after all. It can be seen that after Wang Dong confirmed it, several people were trembling... Rabies has a 100% mortality rate!

After Guan Yi and Chen Xu exchanged glances, they sat next to Liu Lingtian's mother to comfort the poor mother. Chen Xu was held by Liu's father, but the other party kept saying thank you, which made Chen Xu feel very Sin...what else is there to be thankful for? He didn't help at all!

Seeing the bloodshot eyes of Wang Dong next to him, Chen Xu said, "Boss, please go back to sleep first and leave this place to us." Liu Lingtian, who was lying on the bed at this time, also said: "Boss Wang Dong, please go back first. I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday. And mom and dad, can you go out for a while? I have some things that I want to talk to someone alone." "

After hearing this, Chen Xu walked out consciously. Unexpectedly, Liu Lingtian said from behind: "Classmate Chen Xu, can you stay for a while?"

"Me?" Chen Xu pointed to his nose in surprise, and Guan Yi felt a little strange and relaxed at the same time. Because they all thought Liu Lingtian would let Guan Yi stay, and Guan Yi was also depressed about what he could say if he stayed. comfort him? Or continue to reject him?

After everyone left, Liu Lingtian told Chen Xu to sit down, and then said: "I just had a lumbar puncture operation, and now I can't sit up, so I have to lie here and talk to you. I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday." "

Chen Xu quickly waved his hands and said it didn't matter, but Liu Lingtian said calmly: "What I did yesterday went too far, and I must apologize to you. If I really hurt you yesterday, I think My dad will definitely beat me to death, and I'm afraid I won't want to live anymore."

"Don't say that," Chen Xu sat down and said with a forced smile: "It's no big deal for a classmate from a department to have some conflicts. Just have a good rest and don't think too much. I'll treat you to a drink when you're discharged from the hospital. It'll be fine."

"I'm afraid I won't have this chance." Liu Lingtian smiled miserably: "The mortality rate of rabies is 100%, I still know this very well. But strangely enough, after hearing the news last night, I was scared to death. I did it today After the lumbar puncture, I felt nothing. There are only two things I can't let go of. One is that I was so sorry for you yesterday. If I had really hurt you, I would never feel at ease."

"Don't say such unlucky words, you won't die!"

Liu Lingtian waved his hand, interrupted Chen Xu and said, "There is one more thing, and that is my parents."

Chen Xu originally thought he wanted to say something about Guan Yi, but after hearing this, he mentally slapped himself, complaining at this time, how could he even think of this.

Liu Lingtian said, did you see my father just now? How old do you think he is?

Before Chen Xu could answer, Liu Lingtian continued: "My father is 59 years old this year, and he looks much older than his actual age. Because my father was a farmer back then, with his face facing the loess and his back turned to the sky, so tired I didn't give birth until I was almost forty years old. But even so, my father has always been very strict with me since I was a child. Later, he opened a pharmaceutical company and made a lot of money, but he has always been very strict with me. He was strict and never gave me any pocket money since I was a child, and he didn't know how to teach me. When I was a child, I was playful and he would even whip me with a belt without saying anything. I used to blame my father, thinking that he didn't love me at all. Me. But now that I see him in so much pain, I realize how wrong I was. In this world, only my parents are the closest to me."

After hearing this, Chen Xu nodded, but said nothing, because he knew that Liu Lingtian just wanted to say something now, and the best thing for him was to be a good listener.

Liu Lingtian continued to talk a lot, some of which were about his father's early years, and some of which were when he was a child. Chen Xu was listening silently. He knew that Liu Lingtian needed to talk now, or that he felt that his time was running out and wanted to feel pain. I say something happily, but I don't know why I say it to myself.

From Liu Lingtian's words, Chen Xu knew that in his early years, Liu Lingtian's father was just a drug farmer. He worked hard farming the land and was exhausted. It was not until the reform and opening up that Liu's father saw the business opportunities in pharmaceuticals, so he began to transform from a drug farmer. As a drug dealer, he made his first pot of gold from medicinal materials and began to prosper. Later, he established a pharmaceutical factory, which promoted the economic development of the entire surrounding area.

Father Liu is a traditional and simple Chinese farmer. After he became successful, his life remained simple. He was able to spend a lot of money to help the surrounding drug farmers get rich together, but he was always very strict with his children. And because Liu's father had no education and believed in the saying that a filial son emerges from under a stick, Liu Lingtian always felt that his father was not good to him. But now that he saw his father who had never shed tears in his life cry, Liu Lingtian felt that the person he was most sorry for was his father. .

After hearing these words, Chen Xu also felt sad. Father Liu was considered to have a son in his old age, but now he is reduced to a white-haired man giving away a black-haired man. He wanted to comfort Liu Lingtian by saying that the incubation period of rabies is very long, maybe ten or twenty years, and the result may not be as you imagined... But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say a word.

"Xiao Min, Xiao Min, have you found out?!" After leaving the ward and seeing the sad faces of Liu Lingtian's parents, Chen Xu felt that if he could make the two elderly people happy at this time, he could do anything. ! So he rushed to the toilet and practically yelled at his watch!

Xiao Min's voice replied: "We are currently searching. There are more than 3 million files with information on 'rabies'. The text length of the information is as high as 1.8 billion words. 73% of it has been searched. Most of them are reported by the news media. "There is no specific information on the drug used to treat rabies."

"Haven't you found it yet?!" Chen Xu scratched his hair depressedly, but after scratching twice, he suddenly realized: "What did you just say? Specific information? You mean, there are drugs that can treat rabies?!"

"Yes," Xiao Min replied: "Based on the time and content of the report, the earliest relevant report appeared on March 12, 2045. A pure traditional Chinese medicine named 'Rabid Dog Buster' successfully treated a patient. This is also the first recorded case of rabies patients in the data. The 'Rabies Buster' has been mentioned in many subsequent reports. Now I am searching for the formula and specific information of the relevant drugs. "

Chen Xu's eyes lit up: "Can you even search for the formula?!"

Xiao Min replied that if the hard disk data is not damaged, it can be searched, because I found detailed records of this drug in the directory of the information, but now I still need to search to determine whether the data of this drug still exists.

"It must exist!" Chen Xu stood up and almost shouted: "Xiao Min, no matter what method you use, you must find this drug!"
