As Shen Qiang marvelled at the county hospital's formality and competence, the Village Chief urgently asked, "Did you find connections? What did they say?"
Zhuzi's second uncle, anxiously stamping his foot, slapped himself in frustration, saying, "This is my fault, I was too hasty, otherwise this wouldn't have happened."
The Village Chief glared and said, "Did I ask you to find connections or to make excuses?"
"I contacted the director," Zhuzi's second uncle replied. "The director called over Zhuzi's doctor and explained in person, using a lot of technical terms, that Zhuzi's infection is severe, and anthrax meningitis has already developed. If we don't amputate, the infection may cause sepsis and kidney failure, and it will be certain death."
