But this is after all a seven or eight hour drive and people are tired.
Jimmy handed Scott a water and bread, we ate at the side of the car, Scott ate while speaking, “There are twenty-seven families in this village, but the entrance is quite large, almost every family has seven or eight children, I will show you later, if there is nothing wrong, I will contact the doctor as soon as possible, and then the operation. ”
A little puzzled, I looked at him and frowned, “Can you operate so soon? Bone marrow and kidneys are not that easy to encounter.”
He ignored me, stuffed the bread into his stomach in a few bites, then took a few sips of water and spoke, “Let’s go!”
Residents are living halfway up the mountain, probably because of the recent rains, the dirt road is full of mud and water, a foot down, mud stained shoes are full, even the trouser legs are dark yellow mud, walking is very difficult, sticky mud on the shoes, a foot down, there is no way to lift up.
Scott is probably used to walking, looking back at Jimmy and I moved a little slow, frowned slightly to, “Do not step on, look for rocks, people stepped on the place to walk.”
I nodded, tilted my head to look at the road in front of a few hundred meters, the reason not to drive, because this dirt road car simply no way to drive on, Scott said, these roads once the car up can not get down, especially in the rain, are cattle cars go, the car did not go.
Jimmy and I followed him for a while, seeing that the sky was dark, it was good that the phone still had power, so I turned on the flashlight while walking and shining.
It was hard to get there, Jimmy and I, both knees covered in mud, shoes with water and mud, especially uncomfortable, Scott stood outside a house and shouted with his speech, “Precious family, in?”
This family’s door bolted a black dog, heard the people have been barking, look fierce and vicious, good in the dog’s neck bolted rope, I stood next to Jimmy, the heart has long been this scene made some confusion.
The house in front of the family is a red earth black tile house, looking a little crooked, looking from a distance, as if it will accidentally collapse in general, the house in front of a place paved with cement, the ground is placed on a pile of black coal mine, covered with a layer of wind and rain gradually destroyed some damage to the film, the wind blows, the film has been dyed black coal mine from time to time to raise a foot, get out some loud sounds.
Probably hearing someone calling outside, a bow-legged, hunched man came out of the house, black and whirling. The man just moved the somewhat old wooden door open a little, stretched out his head, looked, and then showed some black and yellow teeth and smiled, “It’s Mr. Garcia coming.”
Then rushed to welcome out, he was wearing a black oily clothes, I looked carefully, think that the clothes should originally be gray with hair, but because of wearing a long time, that clothes are a little dirty, so the hair are pressed down by dirt, layer after layer are dirt, and finally let that clothes open black and shiny black.
“I’m bringing a friend over to sit at your house, are you guys done yet?” Scott communicated with the man in dialect, and the man nodded his head repeatedly.
He said in a coarse dialect, “Well, I’m done, you guys go inside and sit down, it’s cold outside.”
Scott led us into the house, just inside I froze, twenty-square-meter house, seven or eight children and a thin woman sitting around a coal stove, the stove is still cooking something in a pot.
Fifteen-watt white woven lamp, the light is too dim, the pot of things I can barely see clearly, seems to be a over green cabbage, a pot full of vegetables accompanied by a few pieces of fatty meat, was cooked by the fire straight hot.
When several children saw someone coming, they all stood up in unison at once, then consciously stood by the wall and gave their place away.
Scott should be accustomed to watching several children speak a few words of dialect, I did not understand, and then sat by the fire, leaning his hands on the side of the fire for warmth, his pair of large feet leaning on the fire road, the invisible accounted for most of the fire.
The man looked at the woman, and then the woman stood up, looked at me, and said in a dialect with some haste, “You come to this point to sit and roast the fire, warm up a ha.”
I looked at her and said no, but she got up directly and looked at several children and said a few words, several black children squatted on the other side of the small wooden table, then the woman used the porcelain bowl with a few mouths cut from the pot out of some dishes, placed in the middle of the table, several children look small is just three or four years old so big, the older ones are about ten years old, they hold the bowl, from the steamer with a bowl of yellow corn rice, and then on the They held bowls of yellow corn rice from the steamer, and then ate it at the table.
The man looked at Scott and asked us to eat with the children, Scott refused in dialect and said, “We came here today is something, last time Liu came over to do the children’s examination, found that your Blanca Gresham’s blood type and all aspects are quite compatible with my friend’s daughter, the child is sick, need a bone marrow transplant, and kidney, last time I talked to you, you see what the price is, let’s arrange for the child, there are still waiting for surgery. The child is sick and needs a bone marrow transplant and a kidney, as I told you last time, look at the price of what is appropriate, we will arrange for the child, the child there is still waiting for surgery!”
Scott’s words were too direct, so direct that I was a little confused, but what I did not expect was the man, he almost did not even think about it and said, “Okay, how much money you say, although the child is young, but it is useful, not in vain, my wife is pregnant again, this really need money, you help contact more contact, my house some years, it is time to repair, these days leaking rain, living uncomfortable. The house is a bit old, it should also be repaired, these days leaking rain, living uncomfortable, you see if someone still needs, they just give money, you just bring them to.”
I subconsciously clasped my hands just together, looked at the father, held back for a moment, looked at him and said, “Hello child father, what we are talking to you about is your child needs to provide my daughter with bone marrow stem cells, and one of the kidneys in your daughter’s body could potentially be transplanted into my daughter’s body.”
The man nodded, with a smile on his face, without the slightest reaction, “I know this, Mr. Garcia has brought people here several times before, don’t worry, my daughter can serve you, it is also her blessing, not afraid.”
I’m a little breathless, thinking, probably because the room is too small, but also burning charcoal fire relationship, a time is nothing to say out.
The child’s life and physical health, in their eyes, do not seem to be important at all.
Scott seems to be accustomed to see, just speak, “Okay, then let Miss Kennedy and your family Blanca contact contact, as long as everything is almost talked about, tomorrow we will give you the money, Blanca to do surgery, we have to take her to the city to recuperate a few days, these are no problem, right? “
