The Wind Blows Fallen Leaves Chapter 62

Free clinic 1

The days are accumulating day by day, and everyone is moving forward according to the established track. Even if the water is far away from the ears and the scenery is picturesque, there is no time to take a peek.

Class 7 has lost a few chatterboxes, as if the mute button has been turned on. No one will speak wild words in class to ease the tension before going to the battlefield.

Xu Zheng was bored and wrote the names of his deskmates on the scratch paper.

“Zhang Jiasheng, the air has become three cents thinner when you left. I really miss the way you chattered in my ear.”

Shen Luo looked around at the empty surroundings. He was the only one left in the once quietest corner. An Yu also took a leave of absence and huddled behind a wooden board, as lonely as a huddled hedgehog.

“Brother Yan, how long will you be leaving?”

As soon as he heard the news, Xiao Minghan rushed here. An Yan was about to leave when he arrived.

Anyan smiled and said: “Three months, the longest free clinic in a hospital is only three months.”

“Then…”

Xiao Minghan still had a ribbon stuck to his shoulder. He must have been running in a hurry just now and was still panting now.

“Then you will come to my wedding next month, right?”

An Yan reached out to help him brush off the excess ribbons, and said in a doting tone: “Of course I will attend your wedding.”

Before leaving, Anyan went to the hospital first, and the dean was waiting for him in the conference room. On the one hand, he wanted to keep An Yan, a natural-born medical practitioner who could handle both research and clinical practice.On the other hand, the place he was going to was very remote. People who had been there said it was like being trafficked. He only stayed for half a month at most before applying for transfer back. However, An Yan took the initiative to apply for three months, which made the dean look at him with admiration.

“Dr. An, do you really want to apply for three months? To put it bluntly, it is a place where birds can’t poop. If you don’t want to go, I can transfer you to another rich place. Three months will pass quickly. You also know that everyone must participate in the free clinic in our first hospital.”

The dean looked older, with few hairs left, which were sparsely falling on his head. What he said was also for An Yan’s consideration, but An Yan was not prepared to change his mind.

“Dean, you also said that three months have passed quickly. I have read the previous files. If I don’t go, will anyone be willing to go?”

“This…”

The dean was speechless for a moment, because he knew in his heart that if An Yan was stopped from going today, the potato would only get hotter and hotter, and in the end no one would be willing to take it. But he was still worried that a pampered young man like An Yan would not be able to persist after going here.

An Yan saw his concerns and said with a thin-lipped smile: “Dean, we are all citizens of the same country, especially in our industry. We should not favor one against another. Should we reject a village because of one person’s backwardness? If things go on like this, capable people will become more capable and fools will become stupider. Don’t worry, since I am willing to go, I will do my best. I don’t believe that there are diseases that are incurable, but we just don’t have the ability now.”

The dean relaxed after thinking again, patted him heavily on the shoulder and said, “Dr. An, you are really different from others. Now that I have said so, I won’t stop you. If you want to come back, just contact the medical office in the town and I will send a special car to pick you up.”

“Thank you, Dean.”

Jiuyuan Village is where Anyan wants to go. It is on the back of a mountain, and even the sunlight takes longer to shine in than elsewhere at night.

An Yu helped him prepare a lot of things, even trivial things like toilet water were extremely important.

Anyan transferred from Ancheng by plane and train, and took all the available means of transportation before going to the town to rest. The female doctor in the medical office saw his thin skin and tender flesh, and knew at a glance that he must be a rich man who had never experienced hardship.

“You don’t look like a doctor.”

The female doctor chatted with him all the time. Anyan put down his backpack, sat upright in front of her, and asked her seriously: “Then what do I look like I am engaged in?”

The female doctor stopped what she was doing, turned her eyes three times, thought for a while and said, “She looks like an artist.”

An Yan smiled and said, “Really? Then how do I make myself look like a doctor?”

When the female doctor came to speak, she completely put down the medicine bottle in her hand, pulled up a chair and sat down, saying: “Then you asked the right person. Let me tell you, no doctor I have ever seen is as good-looking as you. They are all old men and women who are over fifty years old. Although I don’t know their actual age, they look like they have been practicing medicine for decades.”

An Yan thought what she was saying was quite interesting. Just as he was about to continue talking to her, a middle-aged man walked in at the door. He had no hair on his head. He casually wrapped himself in a robe and appeared in front of the two of them.

“Who is the doctor from the big hospital?”

The bald head looked around and glanced at An Yan twice. No one responded, so he said to himself: “The doctors in this city are not very qualified. They didn’t arrive so late and didn’t say anything. Maybe they were scared back.”

Anyan stopped the female doctor who was about to speak for him, walked up to him, showed a smile, stretched out her hand in front of him, and said, “I am the doctor from Ancheng No. 1 Hospital. My name is Anyan. Hello.”

The bald man glanced at him sideways, ignored his extended hand, and said to the female doctor: “Toshiko, I’m not busy today. Our village chief is still waiting for me. I’ll go back first.”

After greetings, he looked at An Yan, but still didn’t extend his hand. He even deliberately bumped his hand and said, “Let’s go, the village chief is waiting for you.”

Minzi saw it all, but An Yan didn’t care and said, “Minzi, I’ll leave first and come back to ask you for advice when I have time.”

The bald man yelled loudly outside: “I can’t leave yet, I’m so annoying, just like a bitch.”

An Yan was carrying the box and saw the tricycle under his buttocks and asked, “Are we going to take this one?”

The bald man suddenly became unhappy and slapped the handlebar, saying, “Why, do you look down on this car?”

“No, I just find it a bit novel. This is my first time sitting on it.”

As he spoke, Anyan put the box up. There was also a horse in the bucket. Anyan was wearing white clothes that were incompatible with everything here. Sitting on it, he felt the cold wind blowing past his ears. Every breath he took was filled with the smell of the mountains and forests. The road became more and more bumpy, and he was so upset that he almost vomited out his overnight meal.

The trees on the roadside have all kinds of strange growth shapes. An Yan is like a newborn child, and feels novel about everything here. Some of these trees have been seen before, some have not been seen before, and some have even been heard of.

The bald man drove very fast and arrived at the place in only ten minutes. An Yan got out of the car. The village was not desolate as he imagined, and was even quite cozy.

But the closer An Yan got, the more sad he felt.

It turns out that in invisible places, not everyone is living as well as they imagined.

There are tile-roofed houses one after another, most of the skin on the walls has fallen off, but they are left alone, and a few bungalows are occasionally inserted. Behind the bungalows stands an older mud house, with waist-high grass growing in front of the door. There is only a narrow path leading to the door that is difficult for a person to freely enter and exit. The door and lock are skewed, as if a kick can knock this mud house apart.

An Yan followed the bald man into the village chief’s house. In comparison, the village chief’s house looked decent. It looked good on the outside, but the inside was another matter.

The room was dark, and the time-stained light only illuminated the darkness in front of me.

The village chief came over and took his hand. His hands were obviously shaking, and he said excitedly: “Dr. An, thank you for coming. No one has been willing to come for many years. Even if someone is assigned, they find all kinds of reasons to leave, and in the end they all leave. I have no knowledge. In short, I am very touched to see you.”

As he spoke, his eyes became wet. Anyan wanted to wipe his face for him, but he avoided it one step faster than Anyan and wiped it with his sleeves. He also said, “I’ll do it myself, or you’ll have to wash your hands later.”

An Yan was tired for a day, and now he just wanted to lie down and have a good rest, so he asked where he lived. The village chief vacated a room and kept it clean. He said, “Doctor An, these were all cleaned this morning. They are all clean. You can live here.”

“Thank you, village chief. My name is Anyan, you can call me Xiaoyan.”

After saying hello to the village chief, he left. Anyan was left alone in the room. The aroma of soap locust filled the whole house. After closing the door, Anyan changed the sheets and cleaned up and down again before stopping to rest.

The noise outside caught An Yan’s attention. It seemed like many people were chatting in the yard.

“Why is this doctor so afraid of meeting people like a little girl about to get married?”

“Who knows? Why doesn’t he come out and let us take a look?”

The village chief stood up with a serious face and said: “This is the doctor who came with great difficulty. You all should calm down and don’t make others laugh.”

Anyan used to go for a walk after dinner. Walking on this winding road, it was like standing on the back of a stooped old man, and the bulging bumps looked like the people he was lifting.

After walking, we arrived at the entrance of the village. Even in such a cold weather, they still gathered under the big tree at the entrance of the village. Each of them held a bowl of rice and chatted while eating. If it was summer, the wind would hit every leaf and make a sound. This would be a natural concert hall.

“Do you think this new doctor really knows how to treat patients? I heard that he looks like a young boy. He might not even be able to recognize the crops in the field.” A woman couldn’t wait to talk about him as soon as she took a bite of food.

The person next to her who was talking to her spoke up and said, “I’m here to see a doctor, but he really doesn’t look like a doctor. He’s so coquettish. Don’t feel wronged and run home to cry to your mother.”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone saw An Yan coming, and they shut their mouths in tacit agreement. Seeing that they were silent, An Yan also sat down.

“My name is Anyan, you can call me Xiaoyan.”

A woman couldn’t hold back her smile. Everyone looked at her. She wiped her mouth and said, “Xiao Yan? You don’t look too small. Why call her this name? It’s better to call her Big Eyes.”

Everyone who heard it laughed. An Yan was not angry, but laughed heartily with them.

“A name is just a title. If you like, you can call me Big Eyes.”

After passing through the village entrance, many people’s views on Anyan changed a lot. Some people even invited him to stay at home. Such an enthusiastic villager, Anyan, was a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, the village chief was there to help him.
