"Go in the back!"

In the crowded short-distance bus, the smell of burning gasoline was mixed with the smell of human body sweat, and the cool air wrapped the newly boarded passengers to squeeze in, and at the same time, it was accompanied by a stink that could not be ignored.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck." Someone brought a live chicken into the car.

It's none of your business to have a seat, let the passengers in the aisle yell "I can't walk, I don't have a seat", while being forced to stick closer to strangers or familiar people around me.

About 10 minutes later, the bus door wiped the back of the last middle-aged man who got on the bus and closed it with all his might. When the driver stepped on the accelerator, the bus body shook violently——

Chen Wan woke up from this shock. He frowned and looked at everything in front of him unconsciously.

Probably dreaming.The unfamiliar scene made Chen Wan come to a conclusion, his half-opened eyes slowly closed again, the dizziness in his brain eased, and he exhaled heavily.

"Oh!"

The bus swayed, and Chen Wan slammed his head against the window. The pain that he couldn't ignore reminded him that everything he saw was real.

Like images from an old-fashioned black-and-white movie floating in the field of vision, with plain to gray clothing, weather-beaten skin, and a voice full of strong local accents, Chen Wan thought of the documentaries she had watched in the 80s and [-]s.

His blurred figure was reflected on the dusty glass window. Chen Wan grabbed the black window buckle and opened the closed car window a gap two fingers wide.

The biting wind poured in through the gap, blowing the hair on his forehead back and flying, so cool.

"Hiss!" The young man next to him was so cold that he stretched out an arm to close the car window, "Motion sickness?"

Chen Wan looked sleepy and couldn't speak. The young man bent down and rummaged through the bag on the ground, and finally took out a squishy orange: "Eat an orange and relax."

"Thank you." Chen Wan squeezed two words out of his throat. He peeled off the orange peel, and the unique fragrance of citrus fruits overwhelmed the stale air in the car and poured into his nasal cavity, calming his nauseated stomach.

The wrinkled oranges are still moist and juicy inside. Chen Wan peeled off the tendons on the orange petals with her fingertips. The nails of her white and slender fingertips are round and slightly pink. Appearance, out of tune with the surrounding environment.

"Is it sweet?" The young man stared at the orange petals in his hand and swallowed. When Chen Wan heard a gurgle, a slight smile appeared on his pale face, and he handed the remaining oranges to the other party: " Pretty sweet."

Although she hadn't figured out what the situation was like now, Chen Wan had temporarily calmed down with her strong heart trained in the major shows.

"Sweet is good, you can eat it." The young man waved his hand, fruit is a rare thing nowadays, otherwise he wouldn't be so reluctant to eat it.

Chen Wan noticed the longing in his eyes: "I have a sore throat and can't eat."

The young man just took the orange petals, and muttered that he would get out of the car later and told Chen Wan to go to the health center to see a doctor. The cold has been gone for almost a week, but it can't be delayed any longer.

The dryness all over his body and the sore throat that made it difficult to swallow all indicated that Chen Wan was suffering from a severe cold at the moment, and he didn't dare to think too much, lest he couldn't help but spit it out.

The young couple finished eating the oranges, opened their eyes and guarded the luggage, thinking about Chen Wan's cold, their brows and eyes were filled with sadness.

The bus drove into the border of Linxi Town, and the young man woke Chen Wan up: "We're almost there."

Chen Wan's brows furrowed deeper, dizziness and nausea reached its peak the moment the bus stopped, fine sweat wetted her temples, Chen Wan's heart beat like a drum, and she followed the young man out of the bus like a walking corpse.

cold.

The cold that penetrates to the bone.

Chen Wan shivered, and the sweat evaporated quickly, bringing up goose bumps all over her body.

The young man rubbed his hands, carried the luggage on his shoulders, and held Chen Wan's army green satchel in one hand. Seeing his paler face, he dragged him to the town clinic without saying a word.

The low-rise houses and dilapidated streets passed Chen Wan's eyes like a revolving lantern, just like the scenes in the documentary.

Chen Wan gradually realized that he should have caught up with the tide of crossing.

The town health center was a small one-story house with not many people. A child on the stool was being given an injection with his trousers ripped off. Hearing the child's screams, Chen Wan had the urge to turn around and leave.But before he could turn around, he was dragged to the doctor's counter by the young man.

Chen Wan looked around and found a calendar on the wall. In the lower left corner of the color picture, the words 1977, the year of Ding Si in the lunar calendar, were printed. The month was marked in the red frame, and the exact day of December was unknown.

"What is your name?"

Chen Wan was stunned. He didn't know anything about the original body, he could only be sure that he had changed into a secondary body.

"His name is Chen Wan. He's 19 years old." It's normal to react slowly if you have a cold. The young man answered the doctor's question on his behalf, and also included what he knew about the condition.

With the same name and surname, but five years younger, Chen Wan, who had just passed her 24th birthday, finally felt a little relieved.

"Take your temperature first." The doctor flicked the mercury thermometer twice, putting Chen Wan under the creaking nest.It was cold in winter, Chen Wan wore four layers inside and out, and managed to clip the thermometer properly.

After waiting for 10 minutes, Chen Wan took out the thermometer and buttoned the jacket.

He had a fever of 38 degrees Celsius and tonsils were inflamed. Combined with the results of his pulse, the doctor asked, "Have you ever used penicillin?"

Chen Wan tried to read what he wrote clearly, like a scripture from heaven, but when he heard the words, he replied that he didn't know.

"I don't know either." The young man shook his head.

The pen in the doctor's hand stopped, and he called the female nurse who gave the child an injection just now: "Give him a skin test."

Chen Wan knew about the skin test, but he forgot whether he had done it, and he also didn't know how it felt.The ignorant are fearless, Chen Wan quietly waited for the nurse to come over with the medicine.

In 77, medical resources were not abundant. If Chen Wan's cold hadn't been too severe, the doctor would not have prescribed penicillin for him.

"Roll up your sleeves." The iron tray was placed on the table, and there was a sound of metal clashing. Chen Wan exposed her forearm, and the blue blood vessels came out through the jade-white skin, forcibly matching the nurse's complexion. Three degrees darker.

The tip of the syringe was glowing with silver light. Chen Wan was used to holding a sewing needle and had been pierced countless times. She was good at sharp objects...

No wonder!

The needle tip was inserted into the epidermis, and the liquid in the syringe entered the skin through the hollow needle tube, causing a pea-sized lump to bulge up. The sharp pain made Chen Wan grasp the edge of the table, and tears filled his eyes uncontrollably.

This kind of pain is not comparable to being pricked by a sewing needle.

Chen Wan held back his tears. If there were no one around, he would have cried a long time ago.However, Designer Chen's self-esteem was extremely strong, tears rolled and rolled, and he finally carried it down without even crying out in pain.

After another 10 minutes, Chen Wan did not have any allergic reaction, and the doctor finished writing the prescription: "One shot, it will heal quickly."

Get a shot?What is an injection?

Chen Wan's hairs stood on end, he finally passed the skin test, why isn't it over yet?

"Can I just take medicine?" Chen Wan didn't want to take medicine either, but due to the situation and the medical conditions in the 70s, Chen Wan didn't dare to take chances.Compared with injections, taking medicine is not so unacceptable.

"I need an injection." The doctor's gentle tone carried a hint of refusal, "Aren't you afraid of an injection after the skin test?"

"I'm not afraid." Chen Wan denied it with a blushing face. He thought of the child whose pants were pulled off on the stool just now, revealing two buttocks.

His careful thoughts were clearly seen, the doctor pointed to the door curtain and told Chen Wan that the injection place was inside.

Chen Wan lifted the curtain and went in. After a while, the nurse came in. He turned his head to the side and pulled down a corner of his trousers.The nurse couldn't help laughing: "My son is as old as you, don't be shy."

There were no other patients behind, so the doctor took out several plastic bottles from the medicine cabinet one after another, shook the various colored pills inside on a square piece of paper, folded it into a roughly triangular packet, and finally wrapped it all up with straw paper.

"Three dishes a day, after dinner." He said to Chen Wan who came out from behind the curtain after the injection, "It's two yuan and fifty cents in total."

Chen Wan's walking posture was a bit strange, and his tolerance for pain was far lower than he thought.

It must be the reason for this body!Chen Wan was angry.

Chen Wan did have the money. It was in the inner pocket of the padded jacket. He saw it when he put the thermometer in and unbuttoned it just now.

After paying the money, Chen Wan took the medicine and left the clinic as if fleeing. He never wanted to come to this place again.

After walking a few steps, Chen Wan slowed down, he didn't know the way.

"Still uncomfortable?" His movements were interpreted by the young man as weak and weak, "Can I walk? It would be great if we catch the big market today, and we can still take the big tractor."

"It's okay, I can go." The same village is fine, Chen Wan heaved a sigh of relief, "You can share the bag with me."

All the luggage was on the young man, and the other was carrying it on his shoulders. Chen Wan couldn't feel at ease empty-handed—the weight of the few medicines in his hands was almost zero, which was equivalent to not taking them.

"No, it's not heavy." The young man didn't let go, for fear that Chen Wan's small body would be crushed by the bag containing the books.

While speaking, I reached the intersection and turned into a branch road, and the dust flew under my feet instantly.

The two of them didn't say anything along the way, Chen Wan was full of questions and didn't dare to ask, while the young man wanted to comfort him but was afraid of poking Chen Wan's pain, he hesitated to speak several times, and finally turned into a stuffy sigh.

Chen Wan felt very uncomfortable. Perhaps it was the sleeping ingredient in that injection of medicine. He started to feel drowsy after walking for a long time, and his steps were as heavy as lead.The originally unobstructed nose became blocked, and he had to breathe through his mouth. The cold air took away the moisture in his mouth, and every swallowing of the inflamed and swollen tonsils felt like a knife cut.

The young man turned his head to check his condition from time to time. Chen Wan's stomach problems had been replaced by exhaustion. According to the usual pace, they should have arrived at the entrance of the village in half an hour, but now they hadn't even reached half of it.

Chen Wan closed her eyes, not paying attention to the protruding stones on the road, and staggered to the left. The young man was too late to react. Seeing that Chen Wan was about to have a close contact with the ground, a pair of big hands suddenly appeared behind him. Fished it up.

"Xu Kongshan!" The young man's voice was extremely pleasantly surprised.

Xu Kongshan! ! !

Chen Wan's mind was shocked, and she turned her head to see the person behind her clearly, but her vision became dark and she passed out.
