116 Outer Dharma Monk Five
Five.
Lu Youkun's return was originally surprising, but it was not enough to surprise me.
But the Lu Youkun in front of me is really too much different from the one I remember.
I remember that when I sent him out of Jinhua Village, he had a tumor pain attack, and although he was given painkiller injections, his waist was basically unable to stand up. So later, he gave up his plan to go back and chartered a car from a nearby county to pick him up at a high price.
At that time, looking at his sallow face, which had begun to reveal black gas, it was clear that he was on the verge of death. Who would have thought that after just a few days, when I suddenly saw him again, not only did he speak with a straight waist, but also a face that was originally withered like a living dead, white and red, and glorious, like a dead tree in spring.
If I saw this change a few months later, I wouldn't have been so surprised, but the question was that it was only a few days later, and how could a patient with terminal cancer recover like this. Lu Youkun also knew that I would have this reaction, so before I could speak, he immediately laughed, and then told me and Xuan Yin about the experience that made him such a big change after he left Jinhua Village.
It turned out that not long after Lu Youkun left the village that day, his condition suddenly deteriorated sharply, not only in unbearable pain, but also vomiting blood.
Frightened, the driver quickly turned around and sent him to the village clinic. But how could this small health center cope with his illness, and he was busy asking the driver to help send him to the county hospital, but the driver had already slipped away, so he could only contact the county hospital immediately to send an ambulance, but the distance was far away, and he couldn't catch up for a while.
While waiting for the bus, Lu Youkun's condition became even worse.
The painkillers didn't work at all, and the entire hallway was filled with his screams.
After that, a large amount of blood in the stool made him unconscious for a while, although after waking up, he seemed to feel a little better, but from the doctor's flickering and helpless eyes, it can be seen that he did not feel this because his condition was improving, but because he was afraid that it was a return to light.
So when the doctor left, although he had been mentally prepared for his death, Lu Youkun still couldn't help crying again.
He said he couldn't help it.
At that time, there were only two patients in the clinic, he and another old lady, and when he was screaming in pain, the old lady kept looking at him sympathetically, and later called her granddaughter to help him turn over and feed him water.
The granddaughter reminded him of his own daughter.
The only relative of the divorced little wife who stayed with him had just passed his seventh birthday, and he was still stupidly waiting at home for the last wave of chemotherapy before he could go to the hospital to see him. So I couldn't help but cry, and then I cried and cried, and I talked to the old lady.
said some things that he, as the owner of a large listed company, would never talk about to others easily.
He said that when he was 25 years old, he married his girlfriend who had been in love for eight years, and the two started from scratch and made a world together in the mall at the age of 30.
It is often said that when a man is rich, he is prone to become bad. In the years that followed, business became smoother and smoother, and people's minds became more and more lively. At the age of fifty, despite his wife's anger, he filed for divorce because he was fascinated by a woman thirty years younger than him, and he also impregnated her.
He said that he remembered very well that on the day of the divorce, his wife asked him if he had loved him over the years, except that he could not have children. He said that he didn't love, but now he knows what love is, which is a kind of courage that can make him decisively throw away half of the country and fight for divorce.
However, just two years later, the new wife who made him so in love that he could decisively abandon half of the country and marry her was taken by a reporter that he opened a room with a popular idol star in a hotel.
This is undoubtedly a great irony for him.
So half a year later, he divorced again.
When the divorce took place, he gave his wife a large sum of money, and she promised to keep their daughter with him.
That little one, the only relative he has now, and the only woman he loves.
He said that a perfect marriage ended in a farce, and he thought it was the worst stage of his life. Not long after, the results of an ordinary physical examination interrupted everything instantly, and he was sent into the real and most miserable abyss in this world.
Now that I think about it, it may have been the retribution he received for abandoning his wife. It's just that in addition, he doesn't think he's a bad person, there are more bad people in the world than him, why should he get such a sad fate. Now that she is going to die in the mountains, her daughter doesn't know at all, and of course, it's useless to know. It's just that I can't see her for the last time because of my own thoughts, this kind of regret is really more painful than the illness itself.
When he said this, Lu Youkun couldn't cry, and the old lady's eyes were red when she heard it.
So, when he was again suffering from the pain of the tumor, he heard the old lady say to the doctor who had rushed to hear the noise, "It's strange and pitiful, there is a seven-year-old child at home...... Or...... Go and see that immortal master?"
"I'm afraid it's not good, he's from the outside. ”
"Doesn't the fairy often say that he wants to accumulate virtue? his child is so young, and he is a mother who can not have children for money, you say that if he really dies here, then what will his children do in the future......
"Sometimes it feels like fate is such a wonderful thing. When I said this, Lu Youkun said to me.
He once let down a woman in order to love her, and since then his life has become more and more sloping, and eventually he has reached a dead end.
Now because of his love for one woman, he has won the sympathy of another woman, and thus has a chance to live.
The old lady who was with Lu Youkun at the village clinic happened to be the wife of the village chief.
Women are always very soft-hearted with their children, especially women who have become mothers. So she can not be moved by the painful struggles of a cancer patient, but she can't help but worry about the life of a five-year-old child who suddenly loses his only loved one.
Therefore, after convincing the doctor, she walked to Lu Youkun's bedside and asked him: "Look at the Buddha statue around your neck and a rosary wrapped around your wrist, I think you are a person who believes in Buddhism." ”
"Yes. Lu Youkun nodded.
"Then do you believe that there are living immortals in the world?"
Lu Youkun smiled bitterly: "It would be good if you could really meet a living immortal." ”
"I heard Dr. Liu say that you drank the water of Jinhua Spring yesterday and broke your stomach, so you must also believe in these things. However, Dr. Liu also told you that the spring water can cure all kinds of diseases is a gimmick to attract tourists, and it is useless at all. But then again, although there is no fairy spring, but over the years, our village has always had a character who can cure all diseases, but if someone in the village has any incurable diseases that cannot be seen in the hospital, as long as they go to meet that person, they will be cured. ”
"Really?" Speaking of this, Lu Youkun vaguely understood what the old lady meant by the fairy master in the conversation with the doctor just now. Because of this, he had a premonition that the old lady would say something to him, so he almost forgot the pain in his body for a while, and he opened his eyes wide and waited quietly for the old lady to continue.
"So it depends on what you think, because in a little while the ambulance might be coming. ”
"What do you keep saying?"
"You have two options. One is to go with the ambulance to the big hospital in the county, where you can continue to be treated, but you also know that you won't survive this illness for long. Another option is to let the ambulance go back, you go to Jinhua Mountain with us, and I will take you to meet someone. ”
"The living immortal?"
"It's up to you to believe it or not. ”
Lu Youkun naturally believed it.
He had no choice but not to believe.
Even if he followed the ambulance to the bigger hospital, he had a lot of money and went to the best hospital in the world, but no matter what, he couldn't stop the spread of cancer cells.
After repeated treatment failures, he finally realized in despair that the only thing that could save him in this world was faith.
So for the past two years, he has been almost obsessively devoted to practicing Buddhism, because nothing else can free him from the darker and darker abyss. Originally, he only hoped to learn something from it, or get some solace, so that he could get rid of the fear of terminal illness. Now I suddenly heard that there is a living immortal-like figure who can cure all diseases, and it should undoubtedly be blessed by the Buddha.
So he immediately made his choice without saying a word. Subsequently, after personally refusing to be carried by an ambulance, he was carried on a stretcher by the villagers and followed them to Jinhua Mountain from another road.
I walked all the way up the stairs, a long way, about two or three hours, so long that Lu Youkun, who was suffering from pain, thought that he was about to be unable to hold on. Fortunately, after gritting his teeth for a while, in a trance, he finally saw a dilapidated small temple in front of him under the guidance of others.
It crept up like a ghost on the side of the long, winding mountain path in the night. When he said this, Lu Youkun's voice paused, his expression seemed to be a little dazed, and then he nodded affirmatively: "It is indeed like a ghost, and suddenly appeared in front of everyone so quietly." 166 Reading Network
