Jiang Chuan looked at Mrs. Sugimoto, who was sitting on a chair at the entrance of the clinic, with some surprise. She had her face supported by her hands, her hair was a little messy, and her clothes were wrinkled. She did not have the steadiness and elegance of a mature woman that Jiang Chuan usually saw her.
"...Mr. Jiang Chuan?"
Hearing the voice, Mrs. Sugimoto also raised her head. When she saw Jiang Chuan standing in front of her, her eyes suddenly turned red.
Jiang Chuan was also shocked to find that Mrs. Sugimoto looked very haggard, her eyes were bloodshot and she had heavy dark circles under her eyes.
His expression also became serious, and he looked at Mrs. Sugimoto and asked softly, "What happened?"
"Kenta...suddenly had a high fever, and it wouldn't go down."
Hearing this, Jiang Chuan's brows immediately frowned.
It is normal for children to have a fever. They just need to go to the hospital for a check-up and receive symptomatic treatment.
However, this is the end of the world, and the only place in the town where one can get the best medical treatment is a small clinic like this one.
Jiang Chuan leaned over, squatted in front of Mrs. Sugimoto and asked, "When did it happen?"
"Since yesterday afternoon, I have had a fever for more than twelve hours. The situation is very serious."
There were footsteps behind me, and Xiao Liu Xizi's voice was heard.
Jiang Chuan turned around and saw Xiao Liu Xizi frowning with a very ugly look on her face.
She walked slowly forward and came in front of Mrs. Sugimoto, who immediately stood up nervously.
Xiao Yanagi hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Mrs. Sugimoto, Kenta-kun's condition is not optimistic. After examination, it has been basically confirmed that he has been infected with pneumonia."
"Lungs...pneumonia?"
Mrs. Sugimoto's face turned pale instantly.
Xiao Yanagi Xizi sighed.
"In the past, although pneumonia is not a minor illness, it can be cured by hospitalization for a period of time and infusion of anti-inflammatory drugs. But you also know the current situation of the clinic. The anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics were all used up more than two months ago."
"…Then…then there is no other treatment?"
Mrs. Sugimoto's expression gradually became desperate.
Pneumonia is a disease that is difficult to heal naturally by the human body alone. Although she has never been to college, she can understand this medical knowledge.
But even so, she still asked such a question that had no answer.
A trace of reluctance appeared on Xiao Liu Xizi's face, but she still shook her head firmly.
"All we can do now is to help Kenta cool down physically as much as possible, but children's resistance and immunity are not yet formed, so..."
Xiao Liu Xizi couldn't continue her words.
But even Jiang Chuan could understand what she wanted to express from her expression.
Mrs. Sugimoto could no longer suppress the despair in her heart, and immediately her tears could not stop falling.
"Kenta..."
She ignored Jiang Chuan and even ignored Nurse Xiao Liu in front of her. She stumbled helplessly towards the ward.
Jiang Chuan and Xiaoyanagi Xizi followed closely.
When he entered the ward, Jiang Chuan saw Kenta-kun lying on a small bed.
It's very small, and looks no more than half a year old.
Mrs. Sugimoto lay beside Kenta's bed, looking at Kenta's little face which was red due to fever, and kept repeating "It's okay" and "Mom will definitely protect you".
Jiang Chuan felt very sorry when he saw this.
He couldn't help but look back at Xiao Liu Xizi beside him.
"is it so serious?"
This time, the latter did not respond to his cold attitude, and her expression was equally reluctant. After all, anyone who saw Mrs. Sugimoto's desperate look would involuntarily empathize with her.
"There are two causes of lung infection, viruses or bacteria, but no matter which one it is, it requires appropriate medication. Even for adults, it is difficult to recover naturally by relying on immunity."
"Then how can we cure him?"
"Kenta-kun is pneumonia caused by bacterial infection. Although I don't know what type it is, common antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs such as cephalosporin or amoxicillin should be very effective."
"Just take medicine?"
"Normally, yes. However, the best treatment is still intravenous infusion. Unfortunately, we don't have either of them here right now."
"You wait."
After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door. Xiao Liu Xizi was wondering, and in the blink of an eye Jiang Chuan turned around and walked back.
He was holding a few cardboard boxes in his hands.
The moment Xiao Liu Xizi saw the cardboard boxes, her eyes suddenly widened.
No, it should be called a medicine box.
Although she is young, she has been doing this job for several years. She can even recognize these commonly seen medicine boxes just by looking at their color.
Cefuroxime and amoxicillin.
"Because you said these two would be enough, so I only took these two, but I have a lot of ibuprofen here, which should be useful for reducing fever."
After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, Xiao Liu Xizi noticed the ibuprofen capsule in his other hand.
She raised her head and looked at Jiang Chuan with some shock.
"Are you...are you sure?"
These kinds of medicines are not rare. It is not surprising that Jiang Chuan has these medicines. Not only Jiang Chuan, but I am afraid that many people in this small town also have these medicines in their homes.
Before the doomsday, these medicines were at most emergency medicines kept at home, but now they are precious supplies that everyone cherishes and can save lives at critical moments.
When the clinic ran out of medicine, Dr. Kudo asked the mayor of Miyajo for help and called on the residents of the entire town to donate the medicine in their homes to the clinic, so that the clinic could provide treatment for everyone. However, almost no one responded to the call. Only a few individuals donated their medicines, including the Ando family, and...
Xiao Yanagi Xizi took the three boxes of medicine from Jiang Chuan and turned to look at Mrs. Sugimoto, who was lying on the bed, crying and muttering to herself.
Her expression also became serious, and she looked at Jiang Chuan and asked seriously again.
"Are you really sure?"
Jiang Chuan couldn't help but find it a little funny: "Why are you so slow? It's just a few boxes of medicine."
"Okay, I see."
After getting Jiang Chuan's consent, Xiao Liu Xizi took the medicine box and walked towards the bedside.
Jiang Chuan stood there and watched silently.
Mrs. Sugimoto lay on the side of the bed in despair, and was gently helped up by Kyoko Koyanagi who came up to her and showed her the medicine box in her hand.
Listening to what Xiao Yanagi Xizi said, Mrs. Sugimoto's expression instantly changed from despair to ecstasy, and then to astonishment. Then she slowly turned her head and looked at Jiang Chuan who had been standing at the door.
"...Mr. Jiang Chuan?"
Mrs. Sugimoto had mixed feelings.
In fact, her feelings towards the young man Jiang Chuan have always been complicated.
At that time, there was a shortage of food at home and relief food was delayed in arriving. It was Jiang Chuan who came to her house and gave her a lot of food, allowing her and her son to survive.
Faced with Yuichi Miyagi's repeated harassment, it was Jiang Chuan who gave her a pistol for self-defense and finally saved her from despair.
And today, when her child was sick and could not get treatment due to lack of medicine, and his life was in danger, the person who appeared again with medicine that could save her child's life was still Jiang Chuan.
During this period of time, Mrs. Sugimoto's life was full of despair, but every time out of despair, hope would miraculously emerge.
And all these hopes come from the same person.
Jiang Chuan took two steps forward, gently embraced Mrs. Sugimoto, who had already burst into tears, and patted her on the back.
"It's okay, Mrs. Sugimoto. It's just a few boxes of medicine. Why make such a fuss?"
Xiao Liu Xizi, who was standing nearby, was filled with surprise when she saw the two people suddenly hugging each other.
If I remember correctly, isn't this Jiang Chuan the husband of the young lady from the Ando family?
Is it a bit... to hug someone else's family and wife like this?
However, she only thought about these words in her heart and did not say them out loud.
………………
Jiang Chuan no longer cared about the specific medication and treatment. After leaving the ward to Nurse Koyanagi and Mrs. Sugimoto, Jiang Chuan walked out of the clinic by himself.
He leaned against the wall, took out a cigarette case and lighter from his pocket, took out a cigarette and put it to his mouth.
However, just as the cigarette was lit by the lighter, a wrinkled hand suddenly reached out in front of Jiang Chuan and put out the cigarette.
"Although adults have strong immunity, they will still get sick when they are supposed to. At times like this, we should pay more attention to our health."
An old voice came from Jiang Chuan's side. He turned around and saw a white-haired old man in a white coat and silver-rimmed glasses standing next to him.
Jiang Chuan was stunned involuntarily, then he reacted immediately.
"Doctor Kudo?"
"Haha, yes, my last name is Kudo, and I am indeed a doctor."
Jiang Chuan looked at the old man again, and saw that one of his eyes looked pale and dull, as if he had some problems with his eyesight.
As if noticing Jiang Chuan's gaze, Dr. Kudo smiled.
"As I said, as long as you are a human being, you will get sick when you are supposed to. You never know when a part of your body will stop working properly."
"You see things very clearly."
Jiang Chuan agreed, saying that what the old man said was confusing and he couldn't understand what he was trying to say.
No wonder Haruyuki said he had a bit of an odd personality.
Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Dr. Kudo smiled self-deprecatingly.
"At my age, I can see everything clearly, but in the end, I am still a one-eyed person."
"But there is one advantage to having one eye. I look at things very carefully and I am confident in my hearing."
"Young man, did you find anything interesting in Nurse Xiao Liu's room?"
Chapter 163 Small Town Shrine
Dr. Kudo's words made Jiang Chuan open his eyes wide.
He had sneaked into Xizi Xiaoyanagiya's room just for fun, but he didn't expect that this would be discovered by others.
"Come to think of it, you don't think you did it very covertly, do you?"
After hearing what Dr. Kudo said, Jiang Chuan couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
Indeed, when I was impulsive, I insisted on teaching myself parkour from scratch, and climbed up to the second-floor room with my bare hands. I climbed up and fell down several times in a row, which was indeed not a stealth move.
Now that the truth has been exposed, he has fallen into an embarrassing and passive situation.
Jiang Chuan wasn't nervous. After all, even if the truth was exposed and Xiao Liu Xizi was furious with him, it would not have any impact on Jiang Chuan and he could still live his life as usual.
"so what?"
Jiang Chuan looked at Dr. Kudo and said, with an attitude of a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
"Haha, don't be nervous, young man. Although I am an old man, I was young once after all. I can totally understand your thoughts."
Dr. Kudo reached out and patted Jiang Chuan on the shoulder, giving a knowing smile.
Hearing this, Jiang Chuan raised his eyebrows and felt a little relieved.
The old man didn't seem to have any bad intentions, but if that was the case, why did he come over to bring up this matter? Was he just trying to tease me?
impossible.
Just when Jiang Chuan was becoming alert, Dr. Kudo's next words had already come out.
"You were the one who did the murder in the grocery store, right?"
Jiang Chuan's pupils suddenly shrank and he looked up at Dr. Kudo.
The latter was seen looking at Jiang Chuan's face with a smile, but the next moment the smile turned into surprise.
"It's really you..."
