Chapter Seventy-Six: Some Things Are More Important Than Life
Zhang Yue's spirit was shocked, and even Yun Shu looked at Ji Rong curiously.
"On the road of eternal life, as long as you overcome the problem of memory preservation and uploading, the biggest mistake of human beings is to want both ** and eternal life. In fact, the emerging non-natural people can already achieve immortality, and even if they die, their memories can be retained forever, just because they have independent thoughts, which the law does not allow. β
Zhang Yue shouted: "In this way, if you want to live forever, you can only be like my nanny machine, how boring it is." β
Ji Rong looked indifferent: "For people nowadays, because life is limited, they feel that time is precious, and they hope to have endless time." If time were to dilate to the point of meaninglessness, perhaps people wouldn't think so. β
Yun Shu nodded in agreement.
Zhang Yue's face was full of yearning: "I really hope to know what I would think at that time, I know that it is not as beautiful as I imagined, but when I can't get it, I still want to get it." She looked at Ji Rong with admiration, "Professor Ji, how did you manage to be so desireless?" β
Ji Rong smiled slightly, but did not answer. The moment he turned around, he suddenly realized that he never seemed to have thought about what he wanted, just focused on the scientific research in front of him. The only obsession he has ever had in his life is to save Yunqing.
And Yun Shu said to Zhang Yue at this moment: "I know this, I don't want to do so much." β
He suddenly had an epiphany, it turned out that he had always been like this, not thinking about things other than the present, and the troubles of ordinary people never seemed to be his troubles.
Hearing such an answer, Zhang Yue glanced at Yun Shu and joked without malice: "You human-like machine, of course you don't have to think so much. What we humans are best at is cranky, insatiable, you don't understand. β
In the afternoon, Yun Shu went to visit Wen Nan in the ward, and in the long corridor, a middle-aged man in his forties kept walking around, looking anxious.
Yun Shu walked over curiously and asked, "Sir, why do you keep walking around here?" β
The middle-aged man stopped and saw a man in a white coat who looked like a doctor asking him, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Doctor, I am a patient here, can you please help me tell the hospital, don't help me use targeted drugs, I heard that I will be resistant to drugs in a few months, and it is very expensive." My family's financial conditions are not good, and I can't afford to use such medicine. β
"What disease do you have?" Yun Shu asked.
"Lung cancer."
"Who is your primary doctor?" Did you tell him about it? β
The middle-aged man looked sad: "It's Doctor Wang Kui, I told him, but he insisted on giving me medicine." β
Yun Shu said: "Dr. Wang Kui's decision is right, although targeted drugs are resistant, they can prolong your survival cycle and improve your quality of life, and there may be new treatments, you should not give up." β
"But my family can't afford itβ" He was about to say something, when a chubby middle-aged woman called out to him from behind.
When he heard the voice, he immediately turned around, and his sad face turned into a smile, and he said as he walked over: "Wife, it's nothing, I discussed the condition with the doctor, and the doctor said that there is hope......
Yun Shu didn't hear the words clearly, and the couple had already returned to the ward.
Lin Xi was sitting on the edge of the bed, telling Wen Nan a story, and when he saw Yun Shu coming in, he quickly stood up: "Assistant Yun." β
"The professor asked me to take a look at Wennan's situation." Yun Shu walked up to Wen Nan and asked in a low voice, "Are you better?" Do you feel nauseous and want to throw up? β
Wen Nan replied: "I don't want to vomit after the operation." He recognized the person in front of him as Ji Rong's assistant, and when he saw his mother turn around to pour water, he lowered his voice and said, "Sister, you bow your head, I want to say something to you." β
Yun Shu leaned over and leaned his ear over. Wen Nan asked in a very low voice, "Am I going to die?" β
Yun Shu thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, I believe that the professor can find a new treatment, and if you cooperate well with Doctor Wang's treatment, you will get better." β
Wen Nan laughed happily and asked her, "When will Uncle Ji come to see me?" β
"He'll come over when he has time."
Lin Xi brought the water cup over, it was a children's water cup with a straw, and Wen Nan bit it in his mouth and took two sips.
Yun Shu saw that he was in good condition and said goodbye to Lin Xi.
Back in the real room, Yun Shu told Ji Rong about the middle-aged man.
Ji Rong asked, "Which ward is it?" β
Yun Shu thought for a while and said, "Ward 322." β
Ji Rong had the impression that the last time he made a big round, he just looked like he wanted to talk and stopped, as if he had something anxious, and when he asked him, he shook his head again and said that it was okay.
He sighed softly and said to Yun Shu, "You go and ask the dean if you can reduce the cost of his medicine." β
Yun Shu went to the dean's office, and Wen Zhong happily agreed.
The next day, Yun Shu passed by again, and the middle-aged man stood at the door, as if he was waiting for her, and when he saw her passing by, he hurriedly walked out with a smile: "Doctor, did you tell the hospital?" Not only did I get my medication, but I also got my medical bills waived, so thank you so much. β
Yun Shu smiled: "Professor Ji helped you fight for it." β
The middle-aged man thought about it for a while, and had no impression of Professor Ji, but still said, "Then please help me thank him." β
Yun Shu agreed, thinking as he walked: It turns out that there are still people in this world who can't afford to see a doctor.
Two days later, she took out a sum of money from the supplementary card that Ji Rong gave her, and when she passed by this ward at noon, the middle-aged man stood at the door again, and Yun Shu handed him the money: "This is for you." β
The smile on the middle-aged man's face froze, and his tone became a little stiff: "No, thank you." β
Yun Shu looked at him puzzled and explained, "This is for you to see a doctor." β
"I can figure it out myself, thank you so much." Turning his head and seeing his wife coming from afar, his tone became urgent, "You put it away quickly, don't be seen by my wife." With that, the man had already entered the room.
Yun Shu retracted his hand, glanced back at the slightly chubby middle-aged woman, and left in confusion. When he went home at night, Yun Shu told Ji Rong about this matter and asked him: "Obviously, that person doesn't even have money for medical treatment, why don't you want to ask for it, and I give him money, he seems to be a little angry." β
Ji Rong looked at her pure white and clean face, and his tone was soft: "He is not really angry, and he will be grateful for your kindness in his heart." It's just that for some people, survival itself is not the lowest bottom line. There are many things that are more important than life, such as faith, love, inner peace. β
Yun Shu listened carefully, and suddenly said, "I understand, for me, you are more important than life. β
Ji Rong's heart was shocked, and the girl opposite looked at him innocently and sincerely, perhaps waiting for his approval, and her bright eyes were like stars in the sky.
The emotion in his heart drove him to reach out and stroke the girl's hair.
"But I hope you value yourself more." He gently told Yun Shu.
