Chapter 26: Mother is ill
When Tang Liuqing and his wife heard their son's words, they couldn't help but look at each other, so dignified, why did his son say this?
Neither is an atheist, but neither has any particular beliefs. Regarding the theory of ghosts and gods, the two have always stayed away from each other and never mentioned it.
There are many things in this world that science can't explain, so that the theory of ghosts and gods has been debated since ancient times, but a more objective concept is:
You can be disbelieving, but you can't be disrespectful.
Around the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Chinese used "heaven and earth" to summarize the entire natural world, forming a belief system of the six sects of heaven and earth.
The ancients believed that heaven and earth correspond, "the heavens have nine parts and eight eras, and the earth has nine states and eight pillars". Not only heaven and earth correspond, but also heaven and man.
"Justice" in the "Records of the Heavenly Officials" quoted Zhang Heng as saying: "The stars are arranged, the body is born on the earth, the essence is in the sky, the columns are in the wrong place, each has its own belonging, in the wild elephant thing, in the court elephant official, in the human elephant thing." …… Bright run, the calendar shows good luck. This concept originated in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and was completed by Dong Zhongshu in the Han Dynasty. The unity of heaven and earth and the induction theory of heaven and man became the ideological basis of ancient folk beliefs.
In traditional Chinese culture, ghosts and gods are different biological states. Ghosts are yin spirits produced after the death of various creatures, with different amounts of mana, often smaller than gods, and even some ghosts are afraid of people and other things with sufficient yang energy.
Shen generally refers to immortals, and it is a state of extraordinary magical power that various creatures have achieved through cultivation. In various Chinese legends, ghosts and gods are often impossible to touch or see in real life, but they can be communicated through prayers, sacrifices, etc.
Although the two didn't read any books, they still heard a lot of various folklore and stories, such as "The Legend of the White Snake", "Journey to the West", "Eight Immortals Across the Sea", "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl...... Almost familiar, if there are no immortals in this world, the two don't know, there are many people who call themselves immortals, but most of them are charlatans and sons.
My son abruptly mentioned this today, and then thought of the miracle of his son's sudden high school champion, could it be ...... The two glanced at each other, and suddenly became interested.
Cheng Ning couldn't wait to say: "Good son, don't sell it!" Let's talk about it! ”
Tang Tianchen's eyes were blurred, as if he was caught in a memory, and he slowly spoke: "It was the afternoon of June 2nd, our school had a half-day vacation, and I went to Xixia Temple with a few classmates to play. ”
Tang Liuqing hurriedly interjected: "Is it the Xixia Temple on Fengming Mountain?" ”
Cheng Ning patted her husband and scolded: "Shut up, what's wrong at this time." Let him finish and ask again. ”
Tang Tianchen continued to recall:
As I was wandering around, I was suddenly stopped by a fortune teller with sunglasses, who opened his mouth with a poem:
"When the time comes, the operation is joyful, the rod has blossomed for many years, everything is mixed, and ten people have seen ten people to praise. When the time comes, all the troubles will be rested, all the access will be satisfactory, and everything will not be worried in the future. ”
I didn't pay attention to it, I've seen a lot of this kind of charlatan, and I don't believe it either.
The fortune teller called himself the blind Ah Bing (a cameo by the friendship of the flashing king), looked at it and said: "Donor, I see that your heavenly court is full, the earth is round, your nose is like gall, your eyes are like a star, and your mouth is like a Zhu." It is really a match for the three mountains, and the five mountains are equal. Although he does not have the power of the prime minister, he has the wealth of Tao Zhu. ”
Hehe, you probably see everyone who is fooling you!
I replied coldly: "Master, I don't have any money, you can find someone else!" ”
"Hehe, others beg me to look at my face, even if it is a sea of gold and silver, I am not rare, but I don't take a penny to help you see your face."
"In that case, there's nothing to do anyway, so you can just talk about it!"
"Hehe, it seems that the donor still doesn't believe in the poor way! That's it, that's it! Since you and I have seen each other today, it can be regarded as fate. I'll give you three tips, so you can do it yourself! ”
I took apart the three tips and took a look, the first one is "Dominance", the second is "Ling Mu Youzhi (uremia)", and the third is "real name Tianchen".
When I looked up again, I saw that there was a blind fortune teller in front of me, which was the wall of a temple.
……
Cheng Ning was surprised and asked, "And then?" ”
Tang Tianchen spread out his hand, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then I was woken up." ”
"Ahh After talking for a long time, you're talking about dreaming! Cheng Ning was a little deflated.
At this time, Tang Liuqing interjected: "What do you know! How can the gods show their true bodies, and most of them will see each other in dreams. Dreams are fake, but immortals may be real. ”
Cheng Ning said with disdain: "Alas, you know again, as if you have seen a fairy?" ”
Tang Liuqing said proudly: "Alas, women have long hair and short knowledge. Listen to me give you an analysis. The fairy gave Changwen three tips, what was the first one to write? What does it mean to be dominant? This is a sign that he is going to be the top student in high school! In this way, now that the door is closed, to be honest, the boss can get the top prize, do you think it's normal? ”
Cheng Ning didn't speak, in fact, he also understood in his heart that although his son said that his grades were usually good, to be honest, there should still be a big distance from the first place in the province. It's a bit strange to be able to get the top spot this time.
Seeing that his wife was silent, Tang Liuqing became even more proud, and continued: "Let's talk about the second one: Ling Mu is sick, which means that you are sick. ”
Cheng Ning immediately fought back and said, "You're sick!" ”
Tang Qing waved his hand and said, "That's not what I mean, I mean you're sick." The fairy said clearly, what is that name...... Uremia, right? ”
Cheng Ning asked, "What is uremia?" ”
Tang Tianchen had already done his homework and hurriedly added: "Uremia refers to a series of autotoxic symptoms caused by endocrine dysfunction caused by the accumulation of metabolites and the disorder of water, electrolytes and acid-base balance when acute or chronic renal insufficiency develops to a severe stage. ”
Cheng Ning rolled his eyes and said, "What's this?" You say this...... How can we understand, you say, serious? ”
Tang Tianchen continued to explain: "Uremia patients often feel fatigue, do not eat well, have stomach pain, stomach acidity, stomach distention, acid reflux, gray complexion, deep and long breathing, bad breath, and always feel a smell of urine in the mouth and on the skin. At night, the amount of urine increases, and some people will have swelling of the face and eyelids in the morning, and edema of both lower limbs. ”
When Tang Tianchen said a word, Cheng Ning's face was ugly, and when Tang Tiancheng finished speaking, Cheng Ning's face was pale, and his body was almost shaky.
Tang Liuqing's wife's performance was naturally in her eyes, it seemed that this thing was true, and she hurriedly went over to hold Cheng Ning's hand, only to find that her palms were sweaty. Hurriedly asked his son, "Is this sick...... Is it curable? ”
Tang Tianchen shook his head and said: "This is one of the most difficult diseases to cure at present, at present, we can only use hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis to delay the disease, if you want to cure it radically, only kidney transplantation, that is, as the saying goes: kidney replacement." ”
"Kidney replacement!"
Cheng Ning exclaimed, his face became even paler, and Tang Liuqing's face was also full of bitterness.
Although the two have never heard of uremia before, they have heard of kidney replacement, and they have heard that the cost of a kidney replacement operation is almost more than 80,000 yuan, and you need to be lucky enough to find a matching kidney and source.
Cheng Ning's face was already as dead as ashes, and he trembled and asked with the last hope:
"Will you die if this disease is not cured? How long will I live? ”
"Why do you talk like that? Why not? It must be cured, and if there is a disease, it must be cured! Tang Liuqing was anxious.
"How to cure it? You think it's a cold and fever. Do you know how much it costs? Don't say seventy or eighty thousand, it's seven or eight thousand, you can borrow it everywhere, and you can't make it up. ”
"You can't go without seeing a doctor...... It's not like you can do dialysis or anything...... Let's take a break! "Tang Liuqing is a little lacking in confidence.
"Huh! Dialysis is a palliative treatment but not a cure, as soon as he said kidney replacement, I remembered that there is a man in my hometown who has had this disease, and it costs three or four hundred to do dialysis once. Their family conditions are much better than ours, so it dragged on for two or three years, people died, and the family's money was spent. ”
Tang Liuqing wanted to say something, but Cheng Ning stopped him directly and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense!" I just want to know, how long can I live, did the old fairy say? ”
Tang Tianchen nodded and said, "If you don't treat it, it will only be two and a half years at most." ”
"Did the old fairy give you a panacea or something, which can save people?" Tang Liu gasped and felt like the sky was falling.
Tang Tianchen shook his head.
Cheng Ning's eyes were dull at this time, his heart was like ashes, and he said calmly: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are days, and immortals can't go against the sky!" ”
Tang Tianchen felt that the time was almost up, grabbed Cheng Ning's hand and said, "Mom, you don't have to worry about it." We will cure this disease, and I will find a way to deal with this money. ”
Cheng Ning was comforting her when she was a son, and said with a wry smile: "You are not the God of Wealth, what can you do with such a large sum of money?" ”
Tang Tianchen had to tell his parents about the potato business he was doing with Wang Qiping now, and when he heard that his son could earn almost 100,000 yuan in two months, the two were dumbfounded and speechless with excitement.
Tang Liuqing was relieved and couldn't help but chatter: "Good son! Good son......" Cheng Ning hugged Tang Tianchen's head and cried loudly, crying with joy.
The ups and downs of life are so sudden! If there is a chance to live, who wants to die?
The family discussed, Tang Liuqing took Cheng Ning to the city early tomorrow morning to check it, and then make plans.
Cheng Ning was unwilling, Tang Tianchen persuaded him: He just came back with a scholarship of 2,000, and the college fees prepared for him by his family earlier are not up, he still has a salary now, and now the family's economic situation has improved a lot, so Cheng Ning agreed.
……
Early the next morning, the two followed Tang Tianchen to the mine, Cheng Ning asked each driver in detail about Tang Tianchen's situation, and almost everyone praised Tang Tianchen's driving skills, saying that she had no need to worry about safety at all, so she could relax.
Cheng Ning was relieved after hearing this, and repeatedly ordered Tang Tianchen to pay attention to safety, and finally was dragged away by Tang Liuqing, who couldn't wait, and the two went to the city hospital for examination.
