In the hospital room.

After the words fell, it seemed a little quiet.

The old man leaned on the head of the bed and looked at Lian Ge with a smile, as if waiting for Lian Ge's answer.

Lian Ge stopped in the aisle at the end of the bed, glanced at the medical record card on the hospital bed, and looked at the old man,

"Sort of. Lian Ge smiled slightly, nodded and responded,

“...... Don't talk about it yet. As he spoke, the old man sat up straight, and looked at Lian Ge with some interest,

"Tell me, are you more powerful than Dean Gu just now?"

The old man's cloudy eyes were shrewd, and he said with great interest:

“...... Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked you to talk to me when he couldn't persuade me. ”

"Why don't you, young man, operate on me?"

Hearing this, Lian Ge couldn't help but smile,

"Perhaps, I'm more persuasive. ”

"What are you going to persuade me, young man?" asked the old man with a smile.

Glancing at the old man, Lian Ge paused, retracted his gaze, and looked out the window,

“...... Old man, I am not as good as my teacher in medicine, but I still barely understand a little bit of other knowledge. ”

After a pause, Lian Ge said in a calm tone and continued:

"My teacher told you before, the success rate of your surgery is less than 10%, but from my point of view, you basically have no chance of leaving the operating table alive. ”

As he spoke, Lian Ge turned around and looked at the old man,

"In this case, are you sure you still need surgery?"

Hearing this, the old man glanced at Lian Ge and fell into silence slightly.

Turning his head again, the old man looked at Lian Ge, and his eyes paused on the mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder.

"Young man, you're a gentleman, aren't you?"

Although it is a question sentence, the old man's tone reveals affirmation,

“...... When I was young, there was also a gentleman in the village, who was very effective in interpreting fortunes and curing people. When I was seven or eight years old, I had a high fever, and after seeing a doctor, I still didn't get rid of the fever. My father and mother took me to the gentleman's house, and I was burned in a daze, and I remember that the gentleman gave me a bowl of potion, and it didn't take an hour, hey, my fever went away.

If it weren't for that gentleman, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived this time......"

"You're a gentleman, young man. As he spoke, the old man repeated it again.

When Lian Ge heard this, he glanced at the old man, smiled slightly, and didn't answer.

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge turned to say:

“...... Before, the old man used the analogy of war, and I will also ask the old man a question about war. ”

"Ask, lad. The old man looked at Lian Ge and nodded.

"It's the same war, when it's clear that your attack is suicidal, and at the same time you can't achieve your strategic goals and can't cause damage to the enemy, old man, as a commander, will you choose to evacuate temporarily, or do you choose to continue to attack?"

“...... Nonsense, of course, is evacuation, otherwise let the fighters be worthless to die...... Young man, you're talking to me. The old man laughed.

Lian Ge glanced at the old man and smiled as well,

"Old man, survival is also a battle, and if you survive for one more minute, it will be a victory over the disease. Your meaningless sacrifice is exactly what the enemy wants to see, and the only effect is emotional venting and psychological satisfaction. As Lian Ge spoke, he turned his gaze and looked out the window.

Hearing this, the old man glanced at Lian Ge and cast his eyes out the window.

After a slight silence, the old man said calmly:

“...... You're really persuasive, young man. And it makes sense.

But for me, the best fighter for this battle is now, and if I cower in the trenches and don't move, the enemy will surround me little by little.

It will give me some time, but it will also cost me the opportunity to fight, and at least for now, I will still have the option to fight, and choose to attack instead of staying in the trenches and waiting for death to come.

If I am going to die after all, I still hope to fall on the way to the charge. ”

As he spoke, the old man paused,

"So, thank you, young man, I decided to have surgery anyway and start this fight. ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze and glanced at the old man,

"Old man, you're pretty stubborn. Smiling slightly, Lian Ge said calmly.

"yes, I've always been stubborn. The old man smiled and replied.

Looking at the old man, Lian Ge paused slightly, retracted his gaze, and did not continue to persuade.

Driven by mana, Lian Ge flicked his fingers at the old man,

“...... Now there are two hours before your surgery starts, sir, and it will make you feel better in these two hours. ”

The words fell, and a mana acted on the old man.

Then, the old man felt a sense of relief, and the pain in his body was reduced a lot.

“...... Thanks, lad. I'll keep it a secret for you. The old man said with a smile,

“...... Eh, by the way, that girl was your girlfriend just now, is that Dr. Gu's daughter?" the old man leaned forward and asked with some gossip.

Hearing this, Lian Ge couldn't help but smile.

......

After a while, after a few casual words with the old man, Lian Ge didn't stay in the ward too much.

glanced at the medical record card attached to the foot of the hospital bed, and paused slightly in the old man's name column.

"Tang Zhonghua. ”

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge didn't stop any longer, moved his steps, and stepped straight out of the ward.

......

Outside the ward, in the hallway.

The patient's family and Gu Hanguo, Gu Xiaoying and others saw Lian Ge's figure walking out of the ward, and immediately greeted him.

“...... Xiaoge, how is it, does the old man still have surgery?" Gu Hanguo asked out loud,

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at Gu Hanguo and shook his head,

"Then ......" Gu Hanguo asked again,

Lian Ge looked at Gu Hanguo and didn't answer, just shook his head again,

"Eh......" sighed slightly, Gu Hanguo shook his head, and turned his gaze to the patient's family,

"You go in and accompany the old man, the operation will start in two hours. ”

After Gu Hanguo's reaffirmation, the patient's family couldn't help but be a little disappointed in their eyes, but they didn't say anything, silently pushed open the door of the ward again, and walked in one after another.

In the ward, the old man looked at the family members who walked into the ward with a smile.

“...... What are you doing with a sad face, be happy......"

......

Outside the door of the ward, Lian Ge glanced at the old man in the ward, who was talking to his children, daughters and grandchildren.

After retracting his gaze and nodding to the two underworld ghosts who were waiting quietly at the door of the ward, Lian Ge turned around and looked at Gu Hanguo and Gu Xiaoying beside him.

“...... Xiaoge, Xiaoying, you can go shopping by yourself first, I also have to go to prepare for surgery. Gu Hanguo also withdrew his gaze from the ward, shook his head slightly and said.

"Okay, teacher, you're busy, Xiaoying and I will leave first. Lian Ge nodded and responded.

Then, Gu Hanguo didn't stay any longer, and after nodding, he left in a hurry,

"Let's go. ”

Seeing Gu Hanguo's figure disappear from sight, Lian Ge retracted his gaze and whispered to Gu Xiaoying.

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoying nodded and grabbed Lian Ge's hand again.

With that, the two of them walked downstairs.

“...... Lian Ge, you just talked to that old man for so long, why do you think that old man is so stubborn?"

“...... Probably because, he is a fighter with a strong will to fight. ”

"That'...... Do you think his surgery will be a success?"

When the words fell, Lian Ge's pace paused slightly, and he turned his gaze to look at Gu Xiaoying,

“...... Hopefully. ”

After saying that, the two of them continued to walk downstairs.
