Chapter 53: Rescue ten people(1/2)
"Aunt Olina is back? Didn't she go to see a doctor? Why are you back so soon?"
Next to the water well in the west city of Francis, several women were sitting around washing clothes. When one of them raised his head and relaxed his waist, he happened to see Aunt Olina walking over in a hurry.
"Hey, there's nothing serious wrong with me. I'll just come back after getting the medicine."
Aunt Olina responded casually, and then quickly walked up to a skinny woman who lowered her head and kept tapping her clothes with a mallet.
"Tricia, stop washing and take little Victor to the mission hospital to find Arthur! Little Victor's disease may be cured by Arthur!"
Aunt Olina said anxiously, with a bit of excitement in her tone.
The thin woman raised her face blankly. Before she could speak, the woman next to her was already talking.
"Arthur? What a familiar name."
"Oh, isn't this the name of that barbarian alien? I heard that it was the bishop who gave it to me. It's really a waste of a good name."
"Isn't this Arthur a doctor for livestock? Can he treat people?"
"It's not necessarily a good idea to give livestock. They say he can look after livestock. Judy even took the old hen at home, but it turned out that it was of no use! It shouldn't lay eggs, but it didn't."
"Tricia, let me tell you, stop fussing. Look at what your family has been doing in the past two years. Everything has been sold out. I think it's better to have a new baby."
"Yes, church hospitals, private hospitals, holy water methods, what have you not tried? How can a barbarian alien race be more powerful than these people? I looked at it and ran away in vain."
The women who were doing laundry together were talking a lot and exhorting each other with "good" words.
Speaking of Tricia’s little Victor, he is so pitiful!
Finally, when he was eight years old, at the age when he could do some chores for the family and share the pressure, he suddenly got a strange disease.
Bright red rashes appeared on his face, just like butterfly wings, bright and strange.
At first, the family didn't pay much attention to it. Who would have thought that the red spots would become more and more numerous, and even the back of Little Verdot's hands would appear edematous and red, a bit like chilblains!
But how can I get frostbite in the middle of summer?
What's even weirder is that the edema and erythema doesn't hurt, but instead has a burning sensation.
To put it bluntly, the erythema does not hinder eating, drinking, or working. Although it is ugly, it is not a big deal.
However, from then on, Little Verdot often had fevers and fatigue, pain in the joints of his limbs, chest tightness and shortness of breath. He was paralyzed in bed all day, let alone working, and even almost died. (Lupus erythematosus, an immune system disease, can cause multiple organ damage.
)
From then on, Tricia took Little Victor to pray, sprinkle holy water, see church doctors, and even borrowed money to see a private clinic.
As a result, he spent a lot of money, but his illness did not improve at all. He relied on the church hospital to distribute some medicines and survived.
Look at the pile of clothes in front of Tricia. They are all the laundry work she took on. She is so tired that she can't stand up straight every day!
At this time, she listened to everyone's discussion and her expression became hesitant.
No one knew that her husband had already disliked Petit Verdot and privately hinted to her more than once that she should give up because the family could no longer withstand the hardship.
It's better to have another baby while you're young.
"Oh, what do you know?" Aunt Olina asked anxiously: "Do you know Pocket? He is the Pocket who vomited blood in the rubber factory."
"I know, what's wrong?" All the women looked curious.
"I went to the mission hospital today and saw him. What do you think happened to him? He couldn't stop vomiting blood. He vomited all the way from home to the mission hospital. The aisle was full of blood. Look at my dress, it's even stained with blood! Oops.
, the scene was simply terrifying. As a result, he was sent to Sister Angela’s clinic, where he couldn’t be cured at all and he still continued to vomit blood.”
Before Olina finished speaking, someone interrupted.
"Sure, I know Po Ke. He has been ill for half a year. Let me tell you, his illness is a punishment from the Lord! So no one can cure him."
"No, if Sister Angela could be cured, she would have been cured long ago. Why wait now?" Someone answered.
"Yes!" Olina slapped her thigh: "Then guess what? Sister Angela called Arthur over, and she saw Arthur picked up a knife and cut open Pork's chest. Oh my god.
, that scene is simply unbearable to watch, it’s so bloody and terrifying, ugh!”
When Olina said this, she couldn't help but cross her arms, and her skin trembled with goosebumps.
"Then what? Someone died?" The women were dumbfounded and asked again and again.
"Then I saw Arthur cutting out a piece of rotten flesh from Pork's chest, saying it was a disease. Later, after Pork was sewn on his chest, he actually got better. He stopped vomiting blood and his breathing became stable. I looked after the disease.
, I even went to the inpatient department to have a look, and I heard that when I woke up, I didn’t feel uncomfortable anymore, I felt much more energetic, and I even drank a bowl of gruel!”
Olina's tone was somewhat exaggerated, and she looked like she had witnessed a legend with her own eyes.
The women looked at each other with doubtful expressions on their faces.
"It is true?"
"You still don't believe me, Olina? Besides, why did I lie to you? There are so many people watching! If you don't believe me, why don't you go to the mission hospital to find out?"
Olina was a little angry and immediately said to Tricia:
"Tricia, hurry up and take Little Victor to try it. It doesn't cost any money anyway, it's just a waste of a day. What if it works! Then maybe Arthur really knows some mysterious alien medical skills?"
Tricia, who had been silent, pursed her lips, stood up, hugged the washbasin, and rushed home.
"I'll help you!"
Olina quickly went up to help Tricia set up the wash basin and rushed to her house.
Not long after, I saw the skinny Tricia, carrying her weak son on her back, rushing towards the mission hospital.
The women gathered by the well looked at this scene in confusion, and suddenly someone murmured.
"Who do you want to show your motherly appearance? If you hadn't done the evil yourself, would the Lord have punished you? I think that barbarian is just a blind cat that encounters a dead mouse."
"No, you are innocent. How could you get such a strange disease?"
The whispering sound was like a rat in a dark wall late at night, whispering in a small corner.
…
…
With Olina's help, Tricia carried Little Victor on her back and quickly arrived at the mission hospital.
At this time, there was still a long queue outside the outpatient department of the mission hospital.
The scorching sun scorched the earth.
However, what was slightly different from the hustle and bustle of the past was that many people in the team stretched their heads to look inside. When Tricia arrived, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd.
"Cure another one!"
"real?"
"It seems like Gal is really out of breath."
"This Arthur is really quite capable!"
The crowd was talking a lot, and Tricia and Olina looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.
"Excuse me, what happened? Has Arthur cured people again?" Olina asked a man who was talking loudly.
"Yes! You know, Gal, he keeps breathing. He wheezes like a ghost in the middle of the night. After he came out just now, he stopped breathing. It seems that he is not cured, but he is mostly healed!"
The person who spoke so eloquently seemed to be witnessing it with his own eyes, boasting with excitement.
His words made everyone around him have mixed feelings. Some people who were originally hesitant also closed their mouths.
It turns out that after Arthur cured Pork who coughed up blood, he immediately caused a sensation among the patients!
However, there are still some people who are hesitant and only want to find a familiar doctor.
In addition, Arthur's "ripper-style" treatment process is also bloody and terrifying. Although it is full of gimmicks, it also scares away many patients.
However, some patients who have not been cured for a long time cannot sit still.
After hearing the news that Pork had been cured, he gritted his teeth and rushed here to try his luck.
Speaking of which, these people are basically old patients.
Because the mission hospital only distributes medicine for three days, I often come here and queue up.
Over time, almost all of them have become celebrities among the patients, and everyone is very familiar with them.
It was these old patients who entered Arthurs Clinic and came out as if they were completely different people.
I can’t say that I am energetic and radiant, but my spirit is obviously different, and some of my old problems of coughing, wheezing and vomiting blood have disappeared one after another.
Patients have also said that they feel much better and no longer feel any abnormalities.
This naturally caused a sensation among the patients!
"No wonder Bishop Byron arranged for Arthur to come to see a doctor. It turns out he is really capable!"
"It's really great. I won't be afraid of difficult and complicated diseases in the future."
"Let me tell you, this Arthur can even see when animals are sick, so he won't even care about people!"
Everyone was talking, praising, and praising him, completely forgetting their disdain and slander when they heard that Arthur had become a doctor.
Tricia was very happy listening to everyone's discussion.
