Liu Yongfu took Nightingale and Bennett to the slums. After entering the place where fishermen lived, the deeper they went, the simpler and poorer the place became. The roads were bumpy and uneven, and there was no flat avenue outside the governor's residence. In fact, these places The houses were originally simple, but after an earthquake and tsunami, the situation became even worse, with collapsed houses everywhere.
In twos and threes, you can see dark-skinned children playing around.
"Ah San, wait for me, wait for me."
The childish voice of a child sounded on the street. Following the voice, I saw a ragged, barefooted, thin, sallow-faced child running around chasing the child running in front. Both children were very thin and dressed very well. Shabby, but with an innocent smile that doesn't understand the world.
Nightingale saw the place where the fishermen lived and saw two children, and her heart twitched.
It felt like the blood was stagnant.
The situation she saw here was completely different from what she had seen before.
When she was in England, Nightingale took care of the wounded and the sick. She had never seen such a poor place. When she arrived in Hong Kong, she went straight to the Governor's Mansion. What she saw was the luxurious Governor's Mansion. When she came to the place where fishermen lived, it was simple and poor. , there is a very sharp and dazzling contrast with the place where the Governor's residence is located.
The scenes he witnessed were all imprinted in Nightingale's eyes.
"It's such a poor place."
Bennett curled his lips and made an inappropriate remark, which made Liu Yongfu even more dissatisfied.
Nightingale turned her head and glanced at Bennett, but did not speak.
A group of people, continue walking forward.
After walking for nearly twenty minutes, Liu Yongfu took Bennett and Nightingale to the place where they lived. Liu Yongfu lived by the dock. The place was spacious. Now many villagers had gathered, all with injured people. The patients, looking around, are densely packed, definitely no less than three to five hundred, and there are still many people on the way, and there will be more and more people in the future.
Liu Yongfu looked apologetic and said: "Ms. Nightingale, I can only give you and Dr. Bennett a hard time."
"This is what I should do."
With a gentle smile on her face, Nightingale looked at Bennett and said, "Mr. Bennett, there are many sick patients. In my opinion, we need to see the patients immediately."
Bennett ordered Liu Yongfu: "Prepare a clean and bright room, and I will sit in the clinic."
"OK."
Liu Yongfu agreed and ordered people to prepare a room.
At the same time, Liu Yongfu looked at the gathered villagers and said loudly: "Folks, Dr. Nebet will start treating you right away. Everyone, line up and come one by one. Don't be anxious. As long as the doctor is here, you will be cured." of."
People who are sick are honest people. No one jumps in line and they line up consciously.
Soon, the house Bennett requested was ready.
Nightingale was a nurse, so it was Nebbett who took charge and Nightingale assisted. Although Bennett was arrogant and looked down on the fishermen living in poor places, when it came to the actual treatment, he was completely immersed in it and very serious. He examines every patient very carefully. From a doctor's perspective, he is a qualified and highly skilled person.
This treatment lasted from morning to about six o'clock in the afternoon.
At this time, the medicine has been used up.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting darker.
Bennett said in a deep voice: "The medicine has been used up. That's it for today. We will continue tomorrow."
Liu Yongfu said: "Thank you, Dr. Nebet."
He waved his hand toward the outside of the room, and a man walked in carrying a small box about 25 centimeters long, 10 centimeters wide, and 8 centimeters high. After Liu Jintang took it, he placed the small box on Bennett's table and opened it. box, "Dr. Bennett, thank you for your help. You help us for free, but we can't let you lose money. This money is for you to buy medicines. Please accept it. When the folks raise more money, Give it to you again.”
Inside the box, there are stacks of stacks of silver coins.
Nebet swallowed when he saw it.
A box of silver dollars was not a small sum. He glanced at Liu Yongfu with admiration. He did not expect that Liu Yongfu was so smart and his sense of Liu Yongfu also improved. Bennett accepted the money and said: "Yes. With this money, you can buy more medicines and treat more patients. Please rest assured, Mr. Liu, I will do my best to cure the sick people."
Nightingale stood aside, a trace of displeasure flashed between his brows.
She is in this industry and knows the money spent on buying drugs. If Bennett accepted so much money at once, some of it would definitely go into his pocket. But Nightingale also knew Bennett; of a person.
He has superb medical skills, but he values external things.
With a smile on his face, Bennett said: "Ms. Nightingale, you have been busy all day. Let's go back and rest. We will treat the injured patients again early tomorrow morning."
Nightingale shook her head and said: "There are many patients here, I will stay."
"No, you can't stay."
"Why."
"It's not safe for you, a woman, to stay here alone."
"I believe in Mr. Liu and these simple people."
Nightingale and Bennett were arguing. Liu Yongfu stood aside and treated Bennett extremely badly. What does it mean to be unsafe? Would he and the surrounding villagers do anything to Nightingale, a great benefactor? It was simply For a moment, Liu Yongfu's eyes were full of disgust, and he even wanted to drive Bennett away.
Nightingale looked stubborn and shook her head firmly, "Mr. Bennett needs to buy more medicine and prepare medical supplies. You can go back and come back tomorrow. I will stay here to take care of the injured patients."
Bennett ultimately failed to convince Nightingale and chose to leave.
In the evening, Nightingale, Liu Yongfu, old Uncle Liu and others had dinner. Nightingale wore a white coat and got up to see the patient. Liu Yongfu originally planned to follow Nightingale, but the inquirer came back. , Liu Yongfu returned to the house.
In the room, Liu Yongfu, old Uncle Liu, and a few people in charge were sitting.
The man who inquired about the news said: "Old Uncle Liu, Brother Liu, I heard the news. President Li of China knew about the earthquake and tsunami in Hong Kong, and sent people to escort food and clothing to support us, as well as many doctors. I I saw the convoy with my own eyes, and there was so much food, one car after another, it was like a long queue, and the doctors were also wearing white coats, and they looked very good."
Liu Yongfu looked excited and said: "There is hope, there is hope."
Old Uncle Liu and the others were also very excited and excited. Originally, they did not expect people from the north to send help, but they did not expect that they would send people specifically to support them. It was undoubtedly a timely help.
Old Uncle Liu said: "Afu, you treat people well, so I'll take care of you."
Liu Yongfu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely entertain everyone who comes, and I will ensure that everything is done properly."
