In the open space beside the pier, many people sleep in the open air and take care of patients who come from afar. Under the soft moonlight, a woman dressed in white shuttles back and forth where the patients live to help the sick. Holding an oil lamp, he had a soft smile on his face. That smile had a calming magic and made people extremely at ease.
Liu Yongfu sat in the distance and looked at the woman's figure with great respect in his heart.
In addition, I am extremely grateful.
For Liu Yongfu, he was once a Chinese citizen who was extremely hostile to foreigners, but now he was moved by the woman in front of him who only helped patients without asking for anything in return.
In this world, there are people with a Bodhisattva heart after all.
…
The next day, it was nine ten in the morning.
Bennett came slowly, entered the room where he had been seen yesterday, and treated the injured patients. Bennett came a little late, but no one dared to criticize him. Moreover, with Bennett coming, countless patients also saw hope. , it was three hours immediately after Bennett started the diagnosis and treatment. During this period, Bennett did not drink a sip of water or go to the toilet. He kept treating the patient in the room.
Liu Yongfu saw this with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He despised Bennett's way of dealing with people, but he admired Bennett's rigorous attitude in treating diseases.
At noon, take a short rest.
At this time, Bennett and Nightingale were having lunch in the room.
Bennett calculated carefully with a smile on his face, "Liu Yongfu, I have used all the money you gave me yesterday to buy medicines, which can last for four or five days, but there are countless patients here who need a lot of medicines. So there has to be more money.”
Liu Yongfu replied without hesitation: "Don't worry, Dr. Bennett, I have asked people to raise money. In two or three days at most, I will be able to raise a sum of money, and then I will buy medicine for you."
"well,."
Bennett smiled slightly and continued eating.
After lunch, Bennett took a short rest. At one o'clock in the afternoon, he began to treat people again. There was a long queue outside the house, and countless patients were waiting slowly. Nightingale, as Bennett's assistant, He was also busy all the time, and Liu Yongfu couldn't help but could only help Nightingale move some things, help patients and other chores.
At about two o'clock, a man rushed into the house.
He looked excited and waved repeatedly, "Brother Afu, hurry, hurry, the people from the north are coming."
After hearing this, Liu Yongfu suddenly became excited.
The arrival of people from the north means there is more help.
He said something to Nightingale, and then ran out quickly. Soon, Uncle Liu and the elderly in each village also got the news, and they all came out to greet him. Liu Yongfu ran at the front, and it took about eight minutes to finally arrive. I saw Mu Zhongyuan, Huan Xiaolang, Mu Ziqing, and Li Zhen who were escorting the convoy.
Liu Yongfu stood in front of the team, bowed in salute, clasped his fists and said: "Thank you for coming all the way. I thank you on behalf of the affected folks on the island. My name is Liu Yongfu, and the folks call me Ah Fu. You all call me Ah. Just be lucky."
"Liu Yongfu."
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Whether this Liu Yongfu was the historical Liu Yongfu, he suppressed his doubts and did not ask.
Mu Zhongyuan nodded and said with a smile: "My name is Mu Zhongyuan, brother Ah Fu. There are many convoys coming to Hong Kong this time, escorting a full 1.5 million kilograms of grain and countless other clothes. What's more important is that there are medicines, so we need a spacious place to unload the things, and then build a shelter for the doctors to shelter them from the wind and rain, so that the doctors can temporarily settle down and provide medicine to the sick patients. treat."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Liu Yongfu looked at Old Uncle Liu and said: "Old Uncle Liu, please arrange for the villagers to build sheds."
Old Uncle Liu nodded and left immediately.
Liu Yongfu took Li Zhen and his party to the dock. On the way, he saw the British soldiers following him, frowned and asked: "Mr. Mu, what's going on with the foreign soldiers? Why are they following us so hauntingly?" "
Mu Zhongyuan explained: "Foreigners are not at ease, so they follow us."
Liu Yongfu snorted and said: "Foreigners don't care about the life and death of us people, but they are very lenient."
After the group entered the dock, food, clothing and medicine were unloaded.
The first arranged food and clothing were distributed in a short period of time and handed over to the village chief of each village. In order to prevent corruption, each village had someone from Mu Zhongyuan in charge, so the food and clothing were guaranteed and could be used. For most of the afternoon, Old Uncle Liu finished all the huts and settled the doctor. He was only about a hundred meters away from Nightingale and Bennett.
After six o'clock, Bennett did not leave because he saw the new doctor.
The arrival of these people had an impact on him.
Bennett stopped the diagnosis and treatment. He put his hands on his back and walked slowly to where Huan Xiaolang, Mu Ziqing and others were. After looking around, Bennett's eyes fell on Li Zhen, because Li Zhen had been giving instructions. So Bennett thinks he's in charge.
"Hey, are you the responsible person?"
Bennett's chin rose slightly, with a proud look on his face.
Li Zhen nodded and said: "I am, you are."
"My name is Bennett." Bennett said confidently, "I am the best doctor in Hong Kong Island."
Li Zhen thought hard and shrugged: "I haven't heard of it."
Bennett was immediately embarrassed and said angrily: "You, you, are so ignorant."
Li Zhen waved his hand and said impatiently: "If you have nothing else to do, go back to where you came from. Don't waste my time here. If you delay for one more minute, a patient may lose one precious minute." time."
Liu Yongfu ran over quickly because he found something was wrong with Li Zhen and Bennett.
Bennett said solemnly: "With your medical skills, it's useless even if I give you an hour."
Li Zhen turned his eyes and asked, "Ah Fu, what's going on with this guy? He seems to be looking for trouble."
Liu Yongfu smiled awkwardly and immediately replied: "He is the doctor who helps us treat him. His name is Bennett. He has good medical skills. The people who have been treated by him have all recovered. However, he is a bit arrogant and greedy for money."
Li Zhen sneered and lost interest in arguing with Bennett.
Talent but no virtue.
He looked down on Bennett and turned around to leave.
Bennett couldn't understand the conversation between Liu Yongfu and Li Zhen. When he saw Li Zhen turning to leave, he yelled: "Hey, hey, stop, didn't you hear what I said? Your doctor's skills are not good enough and he can't sit in the clinic. Your people Give me a hand, and I will control all the medicines. It’s not that I don’t believe you, but it’s for the sake of the patients..."
"I'll slap you in the face."
Li Zhen punched out without saying a word.
"Snapped,."
A huge fist fell on Bennett's left cheek. With one punch, Bennett fell to the ground. Li Zhen's punch was so powerful that the left half of Bennett's face immediately became red and swollen. .
