Chapter 107 Three families officially stand up in Chengnan Old Street (for more updates, please subscribe)

The old man lives frugally and collects scraps to sell every day, not because he cannot afford to eat, but because he saves his money to secretly support needy children in mountainous areas.

In some remote and poor areas, the living conditions of children are very poor. For ordinary children, going to school is a luxury, but for them it is a luxury. There are various reasons that make it difficult for them to go to school.

Transportation is inconvenient, and it may take two or three hours to walk across mountains and rivers from home to school.

The family is in difficulty, their parents are not at home, and they depend on their grandparents at a young age. There is a lot of farm work to do.

For example, helping the family farm, cut pig grass, feed cattle, etc.

These children are eager to read and use knowledge to change their destiny.

But this kind of local method is very difficult. No teachers are willing to go there, the school lacks funds, etc.

The 10,000 yuan donated by this old man may be enough to provide food for dozens of children and teachers for a month. Or it may be able to install electric lights and transparent glass windows in the classroom.

"The money has been picked up for you, please keep it."

Li Jingsheng returned the money and the remittance slip to the old man.

"You collect scraps and sell them to donate to Hope Primary School!"

he asked with infinite respect.

"Those little kids are pitiful. The classroom is leaky in the winter and rainy in the summer. The teachers and students just eat potatoes. They can't even chew a steamed bun. After I saw it on TV, I wanted to help those kids. I

My retirement salary is more than 8,000 yuan a month. Before my wife passed away, her pension was more than 5,000 yuan. We donate 10,000 yuan every month, which can at least provide those children with meat and ensure that their classrooms are airtight and airtight.

Rain leaks.

After my wife passed away, my pension was not enough, so I thought of using my spare energy to pick up some scraps and sell them.

I can sell more than a thousand in a month.

Now that I'm familiar with it, it won't be a problem to sell more than two thousand a month.

If you think of a way, I can raise ten thousand and send it over."

The old man's words were very simple.

It was as if he had done such a great and selfless thing, as if he had done something trivial.

Li Jingsheng felt as if his soul had been deeply cleansed.

Not all old people have become bad.

There are also many elderly people who are particularly great.

At this time, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a wound on the side of the index finger of his right hand when the old man was receiving the money.

Because the hands of the elderly are relatively dirty, it is difficult to detect them without looking carefully.

"Let me look at your hands!"

Li Jingsheng grabbed the old man's right hand and looked at it carefully.

The wound should be quite deep, and there is still some redness and swelling around it.

"When did you get this injury on your hand? How did you get it?"

He thought hard and couldn't figure out the cause.

The answer seems to have been found at this moment.

"I was accidentally cut when I was picking up scraps. I didn't feel much at that time. Later I felt a little pain when I went home and washed my hands. The cut must have been more than ten days ago! I have been cut and stabbed usually, and it usually lasts for a while.

It’ll be fine. The injury may be deeper this time and the recovery will be slower.”

The old man explained without paying much attention.

He doesn't care, Li Jingsheng does!

When picking up waste, experienced scavengers rarely use their hands to dig through it directly. Instead, they use a pair of pliers to rummage through it.

This can avoid scratching your hands.

It can also avoid direct contact of hands with garbage full of bacteria, viruses and pollutants to the greatest extent.

This old man was not originally in this industry. Because his retirement salary was less than 10,000 yuan, he decided to collect scraps and sell them.

He didn't know how dangerous it was to dig through the trash can with his hands.

I've been fine with cuts and stabbings before, that's just luck.

I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a lot this time.

You might even lose your life.

"Let me clean your wound first. Your current physical condition may be related to this wound."

Li Jingsheng asked Tang Ping to bring alcohol and clean the wound and surrounding area for the old man.

Then I saw that the wound was slightly red and swollen, but there was no suppuration.

There are signs of healing.

"Young man, I know you are a good person and trustworthy, so I came to you for medical treatment. If someone told me that a small wound on my hand could cause difficulty in swallowing and trembling all over, I would not believe it."

The elderly do not understand medical knowledge and find it difficult to understand why a small injury on the hand can cause multiple discomforts throughout the body.

Maybe he felt that these words were somewhat flattering to Li Jingsheng, so the old man added.

"Didn't a homeless man get hit outside two days ago?"

"Um!"

"I know that homeless man. He is a mute. When I first picked up waste, I gained very little. He took me to pick it up a few times, and then I gained more and more. After he was hit, I got the news and rushed over.

At that time, I happened to see you coming to help him from a distance. After that time, I decided that you were a good person. I already knew that you opened a clinic here, but I didn’t trust the doctors in the clinic before. They like to cheat money.

The Kuai Kang Clinic not far away has tricked me twice."

The old man's words left Li Jingsheng speechless for a while.

Who would have thought that an old man scavenging would be so familiar with this area, much more familiar than he, an outsider who has been running a clinic for more than nine months.

Even this old man knew that Kuai Kang Clinic was very dark.

If Boss Zhao happened to come over today, he would probably collapse to the ground on the spot.

After all, many people praise Kuaikang Clinic for its superb medical skills and good services.

A grain of mouse droppings spoils a pot of porridge.

After the old man suffered a loss at Kuai Kang Clinic, he no longer trusts any clinic.

If he hadn't happened to see Li Jingsheng helping the beggar that day, the old man would definitely not have gone to his clinic to seek medical treatment when he got sick.

In fact, many people now have a similar mentality to the elderly.

Go to a regular hospital to see a doctor. There are a lot of various examinations and you have to queue up, which is time-consuming, laborious and expensive. If you have a serious illness, you have no choice but to go to a big hospital for life-saving treatment.

But if you have a minor illness, such as a cold, fever, headache, cough, etc., who is willing to take a day off and spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to go to the hospital for treatment?

Instead of going to a big hospital, go to a small clinic. It's more convenient, but you're afraid of being cheated.

Of course, in the end, most people choose to buy some medicine on their own at a pharmacy or go to a clinic for medical treatment.

Affordable and convenient, these are the biggest advantages of clinics and pharmacies.

"Thank you for recognizing me so much. Let's continue talking about your illness! Have you been urinating normally in the past two days? Have you experienced oliguria or inability to urinate?"

"Hey, I didn't expect that your medical skills are quite good! It's been a bit difficult for me to urinate these past two days. I feel the urge to urinate, but I can't relieve myself."

The old man's eyes looked at him with some changes.

This young man has high medical ethics, and unexpectedly he is also very skilled in medicine.

This made the old man trust Li Jingsheng even more.

"I highly suspect that your illness is tetanus. This disease is caused by Clostridium tetani, which is usually contracted after an injury. You are now experiencing muscle stiffness and body tremors, as well as elevated blood pressure.

, rapid heart rate, and urine retention. These symptoms are consistent with tetanus. I suggest you go to a large hospital for treatment immediately. If you go late, your life may be in danger."

Li Jingsheng said to the old man with a serious face.

After being infected with tetanus, you will usually have difficulty chewing at first and it will be particularly laborious. The teeth will be very tight and it will be difficult to open your mouth, and a special expression of a forced smile will appear on the face.

However, this expression did not appear on the old man's face.

It may also be because you are older, your skin is sagging and there are more wrinkles, so this wry smile is not obvious.

As the disease progresses, a large number of Clostridium tetanus breeds and destroys the body. Patients will experience muscle tightness in the neck, back, abdomen, and limbs, and body tremors.

At this time, there are often difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing, urine retention, and muscle contraction.

In severe cases, limb fractures may even occur.

Moreover, one characteristic of tetanus is that when the onset is rapid, it is often particularly dangerous and the prognosis is extremely poor.

If the disease progresses slowly, as long as it is treated promptly, the prognosis is good.

Li Jingsheng believed that the old man's disease progressed relatively slowly, but it had already progressed to the second stage.
