"That's good," Professor Lu said.
"Do you have anything else to do?" Wang Yao said.
"Yes, I have to go back home," Wang Yao said.
He had been away for more than a month. It was extremely irresponsible to leave his home and help someone who used to be his lover.
"What about the mother and son? Are they going back too?" Wang Yao said.
"Can they go back in their current condition?"
"You have asked this question more than once, and I have said it more than once," Wang Yao said with a smile. "I don't recommend them to go back."
Although his condition was improving, it could deteriorate at any time. In the mountain village, as long as he was still breathing, he could save him. If he went back to a place thousands of miles away, it would be hard to say. Moreover, it was a journey of thousands of miles. It was extremely disadvantageous for the patient to travel back and forth.
"They want to go back?"
"Yes, the young people want to go back."
"That's understandable," Wang Yao said with a smile.
After all, it was a mountain village. In fact, in addition to the tranquility and fresh air, it was incomparable to the bustling metropolises. Maybe people like Wang Yao would like it here, but for most of the young people, it was too boring.
There were no places for leisure and entertainment.
It was okay to go up the mountain once or twice, but it was enough to go up the mountain every day.
It was the same for fishing.
Other than that, what else could there be?
There was nothing.
"I'll go back for a while and come back again."
Wang Yao smiled and did not say anything. It was their business, so it was not convenient for him to say more.
"Dr. Wang, the terrible disease from a few days ago won't break out again, right?"
"It's hard to say," Wang Yao said.
The treatment of the disease had been found, and the root cause had been found. However, how to prevent it was a problem. Now, no one was sure where the underground rats were, how many there were, and whether they all carried the pathogenic bacteria.
One rat was a bomb. It was hard to say when it would explode.
"As long as I am here, it will be fine even if I get sick," Wang Yao said.
In fact, the county hospital could treat the disease now. It was best to treat it in the early stage of the disease.
"I'll talk to him when I get back," said Professor Lu.
After chatting for a while, Professor Lu also left.
He was a contradictory person.
This was Wang Yao's evaluation of him.
He had his own family, but he had sacrificed so much for his former lover. Whether it was worth it or not was another matter. The key was that this could be seen as a betrayal to his own family.
Did his children know? Did his wife know? Did his parents know?
He probably didn't know, and he wouldn't say anything.
"Forget it. What's the point of thinking so much?" Wang Yao shook his head.
Other than Professor Lu, the other person who came to the clinic was Wang Zecheng.
"Can I trouble you to take another look?"
"No problem. How do you feel?"
"My body hurts. It hurt so much last night that I didn't sleep well," Wang Zecheng said.
When he first fell, some parts of his body hurt. But after returning home from Wang Yao's place, he started to feel pain in places that didn't hurt. He really didn't sleep well the whole night.
"Let me see."
Wang Yao examined him carefully.
"This is normal."
"Is it? Is it numb from the fall?" Wang Zecheng asked. "I feel better after your massage."
"You can think of it that way," Wang Yao said.
When he woke up this morning, he was prepared to go to work, but his whole body hurt badly. Not to mention working, even moving and walking hurt all over. In this situation, he couldn't work at all. Helplessly, he asked for leave and rested at home. He hoped to get better soon, but there was no obvious change in the morning. He came to Wang Yao's place in the afternoon.
"I'll give you another massage."
"Oh, OK."
"Ah, it hurts!" Wang Zecheng said.
This afternoon, it hurt more than when he fell yesterday.
"Just bear with it."
Wang Yao's movements didn't stop at all because of Wang Zecheng's cries of pain. He still carried out the massage slowly and steadily.
"Do you have any way to make me better earlier?" Wang Zecheng asked in a low voice.
"What's wrong? Do you want to work to make money again?"
"Yes."
"I told you not to pay for the medicine for the time being. When you have the money, you can give it to me," Wang Yao said.
"Medicine costs money. Meals also cost money!" Wang Zecheng said.
"I can't just sit around and eat!" He really didn't have much money in his hands now, so he was flustered and anxious to go to work. If he lay at home for another week, it would be terrible.
Wang Yao was silent after listening.
The special medicine he prescribed was indeed a heavy burden for ordinary families. No, they couldn't even afford it. He had considered these things for a long time.
He practiced medicine to help the world.
It was easy to say.
Even Bodhisattva needed incense money.
"I'll try my best," Wang Yao said after a moment of silence.
"OK, thank you." Wang Zecheng was in so much pain that he didn't even have much strength to speak.
After sending Wang Zecheng away, Wang Yao received a call from Professor Wu in Beijing.
It was the test results of the samples he had brought with him. In fact, Professor Wu and Professor Wu had talked on the phone earlier. Professor Wu had called Wang Yao and told him about the situation after the initial confirmation that the insects carried the terrible pathogen.
"The test results have come out. I have sent you an electronic version. If you have any questions, you can call me at any time," Professor Wu said.
"OK, thank you."
"No, I should be the one thanking you," Professor Wu said on the other end of the phone.
"Oh?" Wang Yao was surprised.
"Hehe, because of the biological samples you provided, and because of your help, the crisis was quickly resolved. My position here has been improved to a certain extent. My working environment, benefits, and a series of other things have all improved significantly. I have to thank you for this."
"If that's the case, congratulations."
"When you come to Beijing, you must let me know. If you need my help, please tell me."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Yao opened his computer mailbox. There was an unread email. The attachment contained a detailed report of the insects and the mouse. They even gave the mouse a full body examination, including blood, internal organs, and so on. Of course, they dissected it in the end. It was very detailed.
Wang Yao read it carefully and seriously.
According to the content of the report, they determined that 70% of the insects carried the terrible pathogen, but the remaining 30% did not. The mouse also carried the pathogen, which was a bit interesting.
Wang Yao had seen what the insects looked like. They were like bees. They must have contact with each other, but why did some of them carry the pathogen and some not?
What was more interesting was the mouse. The mouse carried the pathogen, but its body was found to have antibodies in its blood. Yes, antibodies, which could resist the pathogen. In other words, the mouse was the source of the infection, but it did not get sick.
In addition to the pathogen, they also found an unknown toxin in the insects' bodies. This toxin was excreted through the excrement after eating. This toxin was very toxic. A very small amount could kill a white mouse. This toxin was the same as the one in the soil provided by Wang Yao.
The toxin in the insects' bodies made the soil barren. Then there was another problem. He dug a few exploratory pits, but he did not find any signs of insects.
"Did I dig in the wrong place?" Wang Yao thought.
As for why the insects and mice lived in harmony, this strange relationship also made Professor Lin very interested. He judged that the insects and mice had a symbiotic relationship. The toxin-carrying excrement was most likely brought out by the mice.
Through the experiment, they also determined that the mouse had a strong resistance to the toxins in the excrement of the insects.
