Chapter 15 13. Return to Kuwait

After getting off the plane, Huang Fulin wandered around various markets in Beijing.He went to Dashilan and overpasses, wandering around among the crowd rubbing shoulders and shoulders, enjoying himself, which was his great hobby.However, in the comfort, there is often a moment of hesitation, and he will think of a beautiful figure of a veiled girl, embedded in the background of noisy people and smoke.The girl's contempt and disrespect irritated him and made him go away in a rage, but when he thought he had put them all away in his mind, subconscious thoughts began to torment him. These days, he has been greedily thinking about Chinese food—eating Chinese food abroad, even if it is a very orthodox Chinese food, all seems to have changed!He ate lunch at the Tanjiacai restaurant, and as a rule, the hostess accompanied him to eat.In the afternoon, he bought Wangzhihe stinky tofu, Liubiju pickles, Dezhou grilled chicken, and carried a big bag.At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, he returned to the "Balance Clinic", which is a branch opened by his grandfather in Beijing. It has been 50 years without much progress.Because there are too many well-known hospitals in Beijing and the level of education of the patients is too high, they will not easily believe in this kind of clinic similar to quack doctors.He will take over after his father retires and returns home. He is naturally restless and will not waste time in this alley.

A high-end Hongqi III car was parked in the alley, blocking the entrance of the clinic.He wondered who the important person came to see the doctor?Nurse Xiaona, who was looking forward to it, saw him at a glance, and screamed excitedly: "Doctor Huangfu! It's Doctor Huangfu!" Two well-dressed men got out of the car immediately, with a calm demeanor, it could be seen that they must be from the upper echelons.They were polite and respectful, but they couldn't hide the anxiety in their hearts. One of them stepped forward to shake hands with Huang Fulin: "Mr. Huangfu? We have been waiting for four hours. Please follow us to the airport immediately. The Acting Prime Minister of Kuwait, Mr. Baker, invites you to return there. Kuwait has suffered a terrible smallpox epidemic."

Huang Fulin asked in surprise, "Acting Prime Minister? Where's Mr. Shaukard, Prime Minister?" "He, the emir and most of Kuwait's leaders are sick." Huang Fulin was shocked and wanted to ask about the situation of the Fahmi brothers and sisters, but he didn't ask. Diplomatic channels would definitely not send these details.He didn't hesitate for a moment, immediately stepped into the car, and suddenly got out again: "Xiaona, you go too, take all the balance medicines, hurry up!" They hurriedly put all the medicines in the clinic into three large cardboard boxes. The two officials stopped a tool cart at the entrance of the alley and asked the driver to see the certificate. The tool truck driver readily agreed.

The two cars passed through the torrent of cars, screaming and passing the red light from time to time. The traffic police on the command post stared angrily, but they saw the number of the Hongqi III car and did not make any more noise.Sitting in the tool cart, Xiaona thought of the sudden change in the situation. A few minutes ago, she would never have imagined that she would be able to take a trip to Kuwait!So I couldn't restrain my excitement, and I giggled from time to time.The driver was a young man in his twenties. His calves trembled when he saw a traffic policeman all his life. How could he ever imagine running a red light in a row?He was also extremely excited, laughing non-stop amidst the roar of the speeding car, and talking loudly with Xiaona.

Of course Xiaona didn't expect what kind of tragic scene was waiting for her in Kuwait. A Boeing 757 has been waiting at the airport for three hours, and the people inside raised their brows when they saw two cars rushing into the airport.Huang Fulin jumped out of the car and told the ground crew to load the medicines into the cargo hold, while he dragged Xiaona up the gangway hurriedly.As soon as they stepped in, the gangway truck gradually separated, and two minutes later the plane slid onto the runway and roared into the air. The cabin has been remodeled, most of the seats have been removed, and complex medical instruments and laboratory equipment have been installed.In the first-class cabin were Han Quyu, Director-General of the Department of West Asian Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Chen Dazhong, an authority on epidemiology at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, who was the leader of the second batch of experts to assist the department, and several others.Although they were anxiously waiting, they were all well-educated, and Huangfulin didn't know about it beforehand, so they couldn't blame him, so they shook hands with Huangfulin politely.

Huang Fulin accidentally looked into the middle cabin and saw the driver of the tool truck sitting in the corner. He was very surprised and was about to ask, but the driver winked and made eye-catching gestures.He quietly came to the middle cabin, the driver begged bitterly: "Please be kind. It's rare for me to have such an adventure. It's so exciting! It's so satisfying! Let me go to Kuwait too. Please, will you? I can tell you are always a kind person!" " Xiaona figured out what was going on, and helped him beg: "Promise him, it is fate for him to meet us."

Huang Fulin held back his laughter, this restless guy was quite in line with his temperament, I don't know how this ghost slipped up.He said with a straight face: "Okay, Xiaona, you can teach him to inject immediately, and he can use it as a person after arriving in the ward. Anyway, the plane will not stop midway, and there is no way to drive you away. What's your name?" The driver beamed with joy, and replied, "My name is Lan Xiaolong, a Muslim. I heard that the ancestors of the Hui people came from the Tang Dynasty. I wanted to see what the Islamic country looks like!"

Huang Fulin stopped talking, quietly found a corner, pulled out the armrests of several chairs, made a sofa, and lay down with his eyes closed.However, his mind could not calm down at all. The faces of Fahmi, Muhe and others kept spinning in front of his eyes.And that Emina.Strictly speaking, she was a cold-hearted woman.However, her meanness was wrapped in childishness and innocence, so it was not very offensive, but it made him never forget it. He heard a few people in front chatting in low voices, and occasionally heard a few familiar syllables such as Balance Medicine and Huangfu Youshan.So he pricked up his ears and eavesdropped, never trying to be a gentleman in that respect.

When Huangfulin first boarded the plane, Professor Chen Dazhong felt familiar. He tried his best to remember, but he couldn't remember it. It was only after the name was introduced that he suddenly realized that no, he had never met this young man, but he had dealt with his grandfather.The strange man made such a deep impression on him that he could still recall it after forty years.This young man looks very similar to his grandfather. It seems that the genes of the Huangfu family are very strong and stable. He asked Director Han softly: "How did you find this living treasure as an expert?"

Director Han heard a slight reproach from his words, and he explained: "He was specially invited by Kuwait. I heard that he cured the prime minister's son's chronic illness there. Do you know anything about him?" "No, I only met his grandfather Huangfu Youshan. He had a fierce conflict with one of my teachers, Professor Geng Tianjun." "What the hell is going on with his balance medicine?" "It's a bunch of nonsense. You only need to know two things to make an evaluation: Huangfu Youshan said that according to balanced medicine, all diseases only need to use one kind of drug - human potential activator. Isn't this a fantasy! He also said that human beings must Deliberately maintaining a certain death rate can ensure the effectiveness of natural selection and gradually strengthen rather than weaken the immune system of the human body. To be fair, there are some bright spots in his views, but in general he has gone too extreme. He The views of Hitler and Hitler's superior race theory are freaks born of one mother, and it can even be said to have stained the conscience of medical workers!"

Director Han said: "I seem to have heard some legends that he cured some diseases." "I know, otherwise the Huangfu family would not be able to last for 50 years. Most of the people who see him are low-level people, and it is easy to form blind obedience and worship of him, so that he can use psychological factors to cure diseases. You know, psychotherapy can indeed It can cure many diseases, even occasionally some chronic diseases, and it is most likely to be effective in the class with low cultural literacy.” He smiled wryly: “It’s a pity that highly developed medicine is basically powerless against the disaster in Kuwait. The status quo helps this kind of quack.” Director Han said with concern: "Take this time, can you introduce a little bit, how will you work after you arrive in the department?" "There is basically nothing that can be done for those who are already sick. We can only do some auxiliary treatment to avoid secondary infection and isolate the source of infection. Then I will use the smallpox virus there to make a smallpox vaccine and inject it into healthy people-probably in the whole world." Injections worldwide. Even if the epidemic is contained quickly, the cost will exceed hundreds of millions of dollars." "How long does it take for a vaccine to be made?" "I will use the newly developed hybridization method to use the rapid multiplication characteristics of Escherichia coli to produce a large amount of smallpox virus, and then make a vaccine from it. We have developed this method very well, and it is estimated that the vaccine can be produced in 4-5 days. " Director Han sighed softly: "In 5 days, according to the current speed of transmission, no one in Kuwait may be spared." Surprised. In my impression, there is no disease that modern medicine can’t conquer, even replicating the human body, why is it so incompetent for common viruses?” These words made Chen Dazhong very ashamed, he whispered: "Modern medicine is developing ways to deal with viruses, such as the use of interferon inducers. The interferon gene is located on the second and fifth chromosomes of human 'somatic cells'. When the inducer activates it and interferes with When primed, it reactivates the antiviral protein gene (located in the 21st pair of chromosomes of somatic cells), causing the target cells invaded by the virus to produce antiviral protein (AVP), which has a broad-spectrum inhibitory effect on various viruses. Unfortunately, the induced The research on biological agents has not yet reached a practical level.” Their hearts were very heavy and they stopped talking. When the special plane arrived at Kuwait Airport, the airport flight dispatcher was heard on the radio saying: "Aviation Flight 1248 can land. Please note that due to the epidemic, there are only a few staff members left at the airport. Please pay extra attention to safety when descending." The plane was aligned with the runway and started to land when suddenly there was a loud noise!Something hit the porthole hard, leaving a bloodstain and a few feathers on the tempered glass.Huang Fulin hurriedly looked back from the porthole, and saw a flock of wild ducks retreating quickly and disappearing quickly.The captain said into the microphone: "Passengers, please rest assured that a wild duck hit the side of the plane just now and did not cause any damage. It is still landing normally." The plane came to a slow stop at the end of the runway.The hatch opened, and two Toyota REV5 sedans sped up to pick them up.Huang Fulin said to Director Han: "Divide the troops into two groups. You go to the Emir's palace, and I will go to the Prime Minister's house first. I am familiar with it there." The director and Professor Chen looked at this domineering young man and did not express any objection.
