After Wang Ke handed over the ten yuan to Sister Cuilan at the pharmacy, he immediately returned to the small side house with Gu Maolin.
"Maolin, what did you do?"
"Report to the squad leader, I first poured a bottle of honey into the bucket, then pushed the knife and filled it with well water."
Wang Ke nodded with satisfaction, "Has the honey melted?"
"That's for sure! I tasted it and the water is slightly sweet."
"Well, I believe that there will never be a small number of people who are superstitious about godfather's 'Yao Yinzi' and taste the 'original solution' prepared by Gu Maolin. Maolin, I will give you a suggestion again. In the future, you will be demobilized and come to the factory. He has a great future, he can boil the original glue and prepare the original solution, he is a very technical talent!"
"Squad leader, don't tease me, but I really like Nanshao Village."
"Maolin, as long as you say this, I'll ask the old village chief to find you another wife in Nanshao Village, build a few houses, and take root!"
"hey-hey."
At this time, Wang Ke took out the X-ray film taken for the little black donkey and went to the door to read it.
After watching for a while, he said to Gu Maolin: "Maolin, bring Xiao Hei into the house."
"Yup."
"return!"
"okay!"
"Gu Maolin, you have to tighten up your self-cultivation and education, why are you becoming more and more like a farmer?!"
"Yes, monitor!" Gu Maolin made a face and ran out. After a while, the little black donkey followed in "kick, kick".
After entering the door, the little black donkey looked at Wang Ke and immediately raised his neck and pouted his mouth.
"Come on, Xiao Hei, let's do a physical examination on you." Wang Ke said, taking out a steel tape measure from the drawer.
He and Gu Maolin began to measure the height, body length, and even the length of the tail and ears of the little black donkey in detail.
Then the two people recorded the little black donkey's coat color, size, posture and usual walking posture one by one.
"Maolin, what does this little black donkey like to eat?"
"It, it has a good appetite. I even gave it a fire as soon as it entered the yard." Gu Maolin said.
"Think about it, what does it like to eat the most?" Wang Ke reminded Gu Maolin, and the two of them tilted their heads and thought about it.
"Squad leader, does it count that this donkey prefers salt?" Gu Maolin asked.
"Of course." Wang Ke said and recorded this item.
"Monitor, I always feel that this donkey is a little different from other donkeys. It likes to eat everything we eat. For example, it eats all kinds of steamed buns, tortillas, vegetable soups, broths, and leftover rice. Like pigs."
Wang Ke wrote it down again.
"Monitor, I found this donkey to be a bit strange."
"Talk about it."
"This donkey loves to sweat, just like me." Gu Maolin said seriously, and Wang Ke wanted to laugh when he heard it.
"It usually doesn't drink much water, and once I found some crystal clear sand-like things in its urine. Does this count?"
"Of course forget it!" Wang Ke recorded it again.
The donkeys in the donkey pen outside began to bray again. When the little black donkey in the room heard this, he immediately raised his neck and pouted his mouth to bray.
"Xiao Hei, don't scream." Wang Ke shouted immediately.
The little black donkey immediately calmed down and sneezed twice hard from its nose. It seemed a little impatient and seemed a little regretful that it didn't make a sound just now.
"Maolin, send Xiao Hei back. Close the door and we'll discuss it later."
"Yeah... yes!" Gu Maolin reacted very quickly and immediately changed his mind without waiting for Wang Ke to correct him.
When Gu Maolin came back, he saw Wang Ke standing in the house with a serious face and hands behind his back.
"Monitor, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Ke turned around and said to Gu Maolin seriously: "Maolin, I want to discuss something with you. We can't have this little black donkey anymore. It should be returned to the godfather."
"Monitor, why? We bought this donkey."
"That said, we actually didn't pay. And we want to help our godfather find a way to give birth to this donkey treasure. How can we lose the foundation of our lives for this donkey treasure?"
Seeing that Gu Maolin hadn't fully figured it out yet, Wang Ke added, "Actually, your ability goes beyond this wealth? Don't forget the mound in the apple orchard."
"Squad leader, I listen to you. I will do whatever you say."
"Okay, this looks like Wang Ke's brother."
Wang Ke walked to the door, looked at the black donkey in the pen, and said to Gu Maolin: "Only you, me and Nurse Wu know about Xiao Hei's situation. Next, I will only tell the godfather and never let anyone else know. Otherwise, the donkey’s life will be at risk.”
"Yes, monitor, I understand."
"Now we are just waiting for the test results that Nurse Wu helped us do." Speaking of Wu Xiangyu, Wang Ke remembered that it had been half a day since he came back from the field hospital. He didn't know if Wu Xiangyu had eliminated the snake venom?
"Maolin, after you finish eating, please accompany me to the canteen. I want to call the hospital to ask about Nurse Wu's situation."
"yes."
Wang Ke locked the X-ray film of the donkey into the cannon box, then walked out of the room with Gu Maolin, went to the clinic himself, and asked Gu Maolin to help his godmother cook.
The clinic was still very busy. Even though it was close to noon, there were still six or seven patients seeking treatment.
Walking into the east hospital clinic, Wang Ke nodded to the new nurse and went directly to the pharmacy on the west side.
"Sister Cuilan, how are you?"
Cuilan is also very busy. She is dispensing medicine for a patient. She is now the main pharmacist and collects fees.
"A total of seven water pumpers came today, and we saw nearly 30 patients this morning."
"What? Thirty!" Wang Ke exclaimed. With this momentum, Dong's Clinic has become smaller. What makes the clinic look small is the gift of "medicine guides".
If this continues for a long time, the donkey pen spanning the two courtyards must be evacuated, and a greenhouse must be installed on the roof of the east courtyard to provide a waiting area on rainy days.
Moreover, the four large tanks containing the primers are not enough. At least four more tanks must be added, and a thousand small plastic buckets must be purchased.
Just when she thought of this, Cuilan said as expected: "Brother Wang Ke, please quickly ask Gu Maolin to go to the rural supply and marketing cooperative and buy as many small five-pound plastic buckets as there are, and order another thousand."
"Okay, no problem, I'll make arrangements right away." Wang Ke responded, walked into the courtyard and shouted: "Gu Maolin!"
"Here!" Gu Maolin ran out of the kitchen.
"Go to Sister Cuilan right away to get some money, get on your bicycle and go to the countryside to buy plastic buckets. What should you do specifically? Ask Sister Cuilan."
"yes!"
As soon as Gu Maolin left, Wang Ke walked to the small side house where he lived and looked at it carefully. These three side rooms are closely connected to the water room. It seems that they need to be renovated into workshops dedicated to preparing "medicine primers". In the future, more and more "basic liquids" and "nutrient liquids" will be needed.
Wang Ke walked to the east courtyard again to see how to build a roof? How to move a donkey pen? After this round, the blueprint in my mind has been drawn.
When you really like to do something, thinking will become your instinct and pursuit will become your driving force.
It is precisely because of these expectations, big and small, that life becomes more meaningful and challenges come one after another.
"Godmother!"
Wang Ke walked to the kitchen, where his godmother was cooking. Since coming back, Wang Ke has not bothered to talk to his godmother.
"Ke'er, are Yu'er going back?"
Wang Ke opened his mouth and was about to tell his godmother about Wu Xiangyu being bitten by a snake, but if he thought wrong, it would cause his godmother to worry again. So when the words came to his lips, he said: "Well, I have sent her to the division field hospital. After dinner, I will go to the canteen to call her."
The godmother gave Wang Ke a meaningful look. In the new society, we cannot marry both of them at once, but how can Wang Ke choose between these two girls?
"Ke'er, Yu'er or Pian'er, which one do you like?"
When Wang Ke heard this, he immediately understood what his godmother meant and immediately interrupted. "Godmother, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
"Today I roasted a chicken, stewed beans, and made white flour buns. The three children have been exhausted these past few days." The godmother was indeed fooled.
"Godmother, I took a look and found that the east hospital is too small. At that time, we didn't expect that the clinic's business would be so good!"
"Yes! Let me ask you that..."
"Godmother, that's what I think." Wang Ke interrupted hastily before the godmother could speak again. "Godmother, if we want to completely clean out the donkey pen in the east courtyard, we should move it to the west courtyard and build a weatherproof shed with asbestos tiles."
"What, what? A greenhouse?"
"Yes, it's a wind and rain shed. Build a roof on the top of the east courtyard that can't be exposed to the sun or rain. There is only a small door left in the east and west courtyards. There are some chairs under this greenhouse for people waiting for treatment to wait outside."
"Not bad! Okay."
"In our west courtyard, we opened up the three side rooms and the water room, built a stove, and specially prepared the 'medicine introduction'."
The godmother stopped, walked out of the kitchen, looked at the east courtyard, then at the west courtyard, and then nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, when your godfather comes back, you can discuss it."
Seeing that Wang Ke was unwilling to answer the question she just raised, the godmother stopped asking further. Then he and Wang Ke began to bring the cooked meals to the hall.
It wasn't until after twelve o'clock that Gu Maolin came back. The back of his bicycle seemed to be carrying a mountain. He actually carried back more than 130 plastic buckets.
Everyone helped to unload it. Taking advantage of no one at noon, Cuilan and Zheng Qiang hurriedly cleaned the pots and cooked several large pots of "Yao Yinzi". Basically, five or six people were carrying rice bowls. Work and eat at the same time.
After dozens of barrels of these "medicine primers" were packed, the doctor came again.
After finishing lunch, Wang Ke took Gu Maolin to the canteen with a lick of his lips.
This long-distance call was particularly difficult. After calling for half an hour, I finally got through and found Wu Xiangyu.
"Xiao Yu, are you feeling better? Are you okay?"
Wu Xiangyu's excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "Okay, have you arrived at Nanshao Village?"
"We've arrived. I'm worried that's why I called you."
"Wang Ke, the test results haven't come out yet, but I have some information to tell you to help you find the pattern."
Wu Xiangyu seemed to be even more excited. She said: "I went to the library to check some information. Bezoars are stones in the gallbladder. Donkeys don't have this system. Donkey treasures can only be produced in the stomach and urine bubbles. The stomach is indigestion and consists of residues. Condensation is formed. What is in the urine bubble is actually a kind of urate crystal. The main component is rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other inorganic elements."
When Wang Ke heard this, he realized that this was similar to what his godfather said before. But what Wu Xiangyu said next surprised Wang Ke.
"What are urate crystals? That's because the blood uric acid in the body increases, exceeds the saturation in the blood, and further deposits to form crystals. It can be deposited in the bones or in the kidneys. Crystals can be found during urination. Like sediment. Urate crystals are related to reasons such as less drinking water, excessive sweating, eating high-purine foods, and metabolic disorders of the body."
"Wait a minute, I'll take my notes." Wang Ke quickly asked the canteen for pen and paper. He became interested. Gu Maolin's discovery just this morning was related to this.
"Wang Ke, I checked the uric acid again. What is the cause of this?"
When Wu Xiangyu said it, Wang Ke was very happy. Drawing inferences from one example is the key to unlocking the confusion.
"Uric acid is actually a product of purine metabolism. Under normal circumstances, the production and excretion of uric acid are in a state of dynamic balance, and the body maintains a normal range of blood uric acid concentration. When too much uric acid is produced or too little is excreted, this dynamic balance can be broken Causes hyperuricemia, Wang Ke, do you understand?"
To be honest, Wang Ke barely understood it and couldn't write some words, but he still said loudly: "I understand, you continue."
"Okay, continue listening. The causes of hyperuricemia are as follows: First, eating too much high-purine diet, such as meat, broth, seafood, beer, etc. Second, suffering from leukemia, which causes massive cell destruction. It can lead to excessive uric acid. Too little triuric acid excretion, and when kidney disease causes uric acid excretion disorders, can also lead to hyperuricemia."
In an instant, Wang Ke seemed to have found the key to the creation of Donkey Bao! "Hyperuricemia," he said loudly and excitedly, "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, I love you to death."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Maolin next to him was stunned!
