Li Kaishan only avoided the important and said lightly, Brother Hu was unfortunately hit directly by a bullet, but he didn't suffer any sin when he sacrificed, and he had buried him properly, sister-in-law, don't be too sad......

He didn't want to lie, and he couldn't say anything that would make the other party heartbroken. The Hu family's gratitude made Li Kaishan feel guilty, and he always regarded himself as the person who finally took Brother Hu's life, and regretted it for the rest of his life.

In addition to guilt, he has regretted one thing all his life, that is, on the day of Hu Guang's sacrifice, he insisted on walking in front*, and let Li Kaishan step on the footprints he had walked, which was safer.

At first, Li Kaishan disagreed, saying that at least he had to be adjudicated by rock-paper-scissors, but in an instant, he remembered his parents, brother and sister, and compromised.

After that, he deeply regretted not trying his best to fight for the opportunity to get ahead. Although he survived, it didn't feel good at all.

For many years to come, Li Kaishan has been frugal, stubbornly squeezing out money from his meager salary, remitting it to Hu Guang's wife, and spontaneously caring about the growth of Hu Guang's son Juan.

Because he was not in the same city, when Li Kaishan first joined the work, even the extremely pitiful few days of vacation were all used to take the train to visit the Hu family.

In Juan's mind, this Uncle Li is just like his father, and it is no wonder that as soon as he heard that he had suffered a stroke and was hospitalized, he rushed over from other places immediately.

The course of the incident and Li Kaishan's confession were clearly written on paper in this way.

Li Tangni can imagine that his grandfather must often sit here, stroking the scorched fragments of military uniform in the bag, missing his dear comrades-in-arms.

But why didn't he keep it in his heart and write it down in black and white?

By the way, it must have been because Juan called that day and mentioned the news of his mother's death, which doubled Grandpa's guilt. Juan's mother was widowed from a young age and raised her son alone, never reuniting with her husband.

Qu Nanxiu said: "Maybe sometimes, presenting the knot in my heart in the form of words is also a kind of venting and relief for myself." ”

In fact, Li Kaishan was indeed stimulated by the death and disappearance of Hu Guang's wife that day, which led to a sudden stroke.

There are some things that have passed a long time, but there is not a day that does not affect the present.

Qu Nanxiu ran to ask Luo Renyan: "Professor, are vegetative people still conscious?"

"Many of the patients who become vegetative are far from unconscious, and about 40 percent of people who are considered to be in a vegetative state are partially or even fully awake, but they are incapable of communicating with the outside world due to severe damage to the areas of the brain that control movement," Luo said. ”

Qu Nanxiu ran back to the hospital and asked the hospital to have an electroencephalogram scan for Li Kaishan to see if he was still conscious.

"As family members, you should understand that in a vegetative state, also known as an irreversible coma, the patient has lost cognitive abilities, including cognition of his own existence. In fact, when the chief had just finished rescuing, we had already done an electroencephalogram on him, and then observed him for another 12 hours, and I don't think there is any need to do it again now," the attending doctor took a sip of tea, "Moreover, the equipment in our hospital to do this is very tight, and the schedule is very full, and many people are waiting." ”

Qu Nanxiu asked unwillingly: "If you talk to the patient often, is it possible for him to regain consciousness?"

The attending doctor showed an expression of "why are you so naïve" on his face, and said: "You know, the chief is eighty years old, even if he doesn't have a stroke...... But you can try. ”

Before he finished speaking, the phone in the hospital office rang, and the attending doctor said into the microphone after listening to the situation: "Okay, I'm going to do an EEG immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, he hurriedly ran out, and turned around and said: "Another chief has been sent, I have to go quickly, you two hurry up and go out, help me close the office door!"

This attending doctor has been working in 302 Hospital for 30 years, and has actually served Li Kaishan many times.

But the difference is that Li Kaishan was still on the job back then, and the doctor was just a novice at that time, so Li Kaishan was very attentive when he did any examination.

And now, Li Kaishan is about to die, and he has been promoted to chief physician and department director, so the situation is naturally different. Presumably, what he rushed to see must be a high-ranking and powerful incumbent leader.

When the two of them left the director's office, they saw that the attending doctor had not gone far and was talking to someone: "...... As for Li Kaishan's granddaughter, she came to me to do an EEG for the old guy again, who has that spare time? The state cares about his medical hospitalization expenses, so he just lies down honestly, isn't it very comfortable......

Hearing him call his grandfather with the word "old guy", Li Tangni's heart was cold, knowing that he didn't have to have any hope for this doctor anymore, and people didn't bother to pay attention to his grandfather at all.

Seeing that she was depressed, Qu Nanxiu, who was also angry, comforted: "Let's go back and talk to your grandfather more, maybe he can hear it, maybe he will answer you one day." ”

Qu Nanxiu told Luo Renyan about his depression: "Professor Luo, do you have any way to do an EEG for Grandpa Li? But I always feel that he has been a soldier and fought, and his will is so strong, he will not wake up, maybe his thinking is still very clear. I remember reading a report that British scientists scanned the brain of a vegetative person injured in a car accident and found that the vegetative person was able to imagine playing tennis in his brain on the orders of a doctor. ”

"There's such a thing. Tell me about the details before and after the stroke. ”

With the original intention of helping Grandpa Li, Qu Nanxiu explained everything about Hu Guang.

Luo Renyan pondered for a moment and said, "Give me three days to see if I can help you with this." ”

Three days later, Luo Renyan came to the hospital with Qu Nanxiu with a bag, and did not call Li Tangni.

Luo Renyan told Xiao Zhang, a soldier on duty, that he was an old friend of Li Kaishan and had come to visit.

Xiao Zhang had great trust in Qu Nanxiu, so he left with peace of mind and went to dinner.

Luo Renyan walked into the ward, took out a white cloth from his bag, and went to the bathroom to wet it.

Qu Nanxiu thought he was holding a towel, and asked him why do you even bring your own hand towel, cleanliness?

"What kind of hand towel is this? This is my new invention - a simple wireless EEG scanner. ”

Qu Nanxiu suddenly worshiped and threw himself to the ground.

Luo explained: "In a routine EEG examination, the doctor has to glue a large number of electrodes to the patient's head, and they must also be placed in precise positions. With my simple wireless EEG scanner, I only need to wet it, put it on my head, and start a brain exam. ”

Qu Nanxiu said: "Professor Luo, if you publish a new invention in the world, it will cause an earthquake in the industry." ”

"But I can't publish any inventions yet, because it's too advanced and it would be easy to reveal my identity. My main goal is to develop a regret drug, and when that is done, we will announce it together. ”

Qu Nanxiu helped to fix the "wet cloth" on the top of Li Kaishan's head. Luo Renyan opened his laptop and began to receive wireless signals.

When I was in school, Xiaoqu learned that normal people's brain waves have α waves, β waves, theta waves, and δ waves, and the normal α wave rhythm is the first thing to pay attention to.

After Luo Renyan's examination, it was found that Li Kaishan's brain waves were basically normal except for a small amount of epileptic discharges and a slow frequency!

"That is, he is still conscious, he has a mind?"

Luo Renyan nodded.

Two pairs of eyes looked at the patient, whose eyes were closed and who did not look lifeless.

Qu Nanxiu said: "There is a French movie called "Diving Bell and Butterfly", the male protagonist is that his body functions are seriously damaged, he can't move his body, can't speak, can't breathe on his own, and can only travel in the depths of his mind. He only has one eye to move, which is his only contact with the world, and he also communicates with the nurse by blinking, who has written a book on his behalf. Is there a way to communicate with the elderly?"

"You kid is getting more and more demanding!"

Luo Renyan walked up to Li Kaishan and said, "Old man, my surname is Luo, I am a friend of Xiaoqu, specializing in cranial nerves. I don't know if you can hear me, but if you can, you can think of something as I say, I'm on my computer, I can see the changes in your brain waves, and we'll be chatting, okay?"

Naturally, there was no answer.

"Old man, I heard that you loved to play basketball when you were young. Imagine now that you're shooting a dunk and you're about to score a basket, okay?"

Still no answer.

Luo Renyan immediately returned to his notebook to check the data, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the areas related to the upper limbs in Li Kaishan's brain were active!

He walked up to Li Kaishan again and said, "Old man, I know you can hear me, and we have started communicating now." Now, imagine you're taking a walk in a scenic park. ”

In Li Kaishan's brain, the area related to spatial imaging is active again, exactly the same as the reaction of a normal person!

This discovery made Qu Nanxiu rejoice, and he couldn't wait to tell Li Tangni the good news immediately.

He came to Li Kaishan's bed: "Great, Grandpa Li, I know we can communicate with you! Don't worry, we will come to chat with you every day in the future, I believe you will be able to recover soon." I'll go out and buy a radio in a while, and when we're not there, I'll give you a commentary, Tian Lianyuan's commentary, your favorite, okay?"

Luo Renyan smiled and said: "The old man is not lonely now! But Xiaoqu, let me tell you, at his age, his body has been severely injured, and it will not be a ...... for a while to recover."

"Ahem!"

Qu Nanxiu hurriedly coughed twice, meaning, don't say this in front of your grandfather, shouldn't he be sad when he hears it?

Unexpectedly, Luo Renyan didn't understand, and asked with a stiff neck: "Why don't you let me say it? Why are you coughing?
