As the saying goes, no one is good, no flower is red, there is no perfect person in the world, and naturally there is no perfect thing.

And Shen Pang, has always thought that he is a perfect person who has taken advantage of the advantages, handsome and tough, there are many female classmates in junior high school and high school who quietly stuff love letters, when he was a child, he has already shown his open-air talent ability, never forget, learning is a little thorough, to give a turn to three, at the age of thirteen he skipped a grade to finish middle school, at the age of fifteen went to the third year of high school, his classmates at the same level and class are eighteen years old, more than three years older than him, this is still because his parents are worried that he is too young and unfavorable and deliberately in the small, middle and high school are all smooth, not intentionally skipping the grade, Otherwise, he would be even younger in his third year of high school.

In fact, when Shen Pang was in the second semester of his third year of high school, his familiarity with normal topics and his ability to solve problems far exceeded that of the teachers in school, and the school also specially invited several authoritative figures in the domestic IQ testing industry to conduct an intelligence test for him, which is similar to foreign intelligence tests, and Shen Pang's test result is that IQ IQ has reached an astonishing 197!

Such a genius will naturally attract the attention of some famous universities in China, and when the college entrance examination time is still two months away, some colleges and universities have already sent letters to contact Shen Pang for special recruitment, including top schools such as Peking University.

Just when the school teachers and Shen Pang's parents and relatives were arguing about which school to choose, whether to send them to the school or to take the exam naturally, a shocking news landed on Shen Pang's head!

Since the first year of junior high school, Shen Pang occasionally has a little migraine, just eat a pack of headache powder, and it is not very frequent, besides, he has been in good health since he was a child, and there are very few problems such as colds and fevers, so he didn't care, the headache was a little frequent until the third year of high school, and he fainted after a seizure half a month ago, and he had a lot of nosebleeds, his parents were a little worried, and immediately took him to the hospital for examination, and there was no problem with the physical examination, only the brain CT had a shadow, and the doctor said that it might be a brain tumor, As for the specific results, it is necessary to go to a higher level of hospital to verify.

Shen Pang's parents are such an only son as Shen Pang, not to mention that their son is so good, their son is all they have, of course, they dare not have the slightest neglect, the husband and wife even put down their business, and took Shen Pang to the provincial people's hospital for oncology examination.

The results of the examination of the provincial capital hospital came out the next day, and Shen Pang had a malignant tumor in his mind, and it was in an advanced stage!

Although the doctor did not explain that malignant tumors are equivalent to "brain cancer", Shen Pang and his parents actually understood that it was "advanced brain cancer", which almost announced Shen Pang's "death sentence"!

This almost instantly crushed Shen Pang's family!

Shen Pang's parents naturally refused to give up their son, even if it was a terminal illness that had been declared "death penalty" in medicine, they still had to be hospitalized to seek treatment options from brain tumor experts, even if it was to smash the pot and sell iron, even if it was bankrupt, as long as their son had one day to live, they had to find ways to save it.

On the sixth day of hospitalization in the provincial hospital, the words of the argument and discussion between his parents and the experts in the hospital more or less reached Shen Pang's ears, and the experts' opinions were quite unanimous, that is, Shen Pang's disease no longer had any need for surgery, there was no medicine to treat, there was no surgery to treat, and he could only do his best in the hospital to reduce some of Shen Pang's physical pain with medicine.

And the hospital experts diagnosed Shen Pang's life within three months!

When cancer reaches an advanced stage, it is basically a very short period of time from the onset to death.

The father went to the specialist doctor to continue to ask about the treatment plan, and the mother went out to buy porridge, Shen Pang's heart was already cold, and the patients in the other two beds in the ward kept talking, which made him more and more upset, so he simply put on his shoes and went out, and there was no purpose to go, so he took the elevator up to the top floor of the inpatient department at will.

There are twenty-two floors in the inpatient building, Shen Pang is watching at the guardrail on the top floor, the afterglow of the slanting sun is not very dazzling on his face, looking down, the car under the building is like a matchbox, pedestrians are like ants, the breeze blowing on his body makes him feel more desolate and boring, there seems to be a thought urging him to jump over the guardrail and jump down!

Even if he is as smart as Shen Pang, he can't resist the invasion of the fleeting life on him, and as soon as his thoughts are extinguished, he climbs the guardrail, and just when he wants to jump but does not jump, he suddenly hears a "bang" sound in his ears, like thunder and deafening, and like lightning across his brain.

Shen Pang's heart trembled, and he looked down, among the pedestrians like ants downstairs, there was a small red dot that hurriedly entered the gate of this building, remembering that his mother was wearing a red coat, could it be that his mother came back from buying porridge?

Thinking of his mother, Shen Pang's heart trembled again, although he had an incurable disease, his parents' love for him was only more, even if his life span was only less than three months, but if he chose to jump off the building and commit suicide, he could imagine how big a blow this would be to his parents!

The "cheer" just now was like a slap in the face, which reminded Shen Pang of countless concerns, and the thoughts of death disappeared together, but the "cheer" deeply attracted him, and it seemed to be from the artificial garden on the right side of the inpatient building, but it stands to reason that such a clear sound cannot be heard on such a high floor.

And in the dark, Shen Pang felt that the voice was not heard by the ears, as if it was heard by the brain, which was strange!

As soon as the thought of self-extinction disappeared, Shen Pang couldn't help but turn around and take the elevator downstairs, and then went straight to the artificial garden area on the right side of the inpatient building.

Because he had already started chemotherapy once, Shen Pang's hair and eyebrows had been shaved off, which looked weird, but this was in the hospital, and there were all kinds of patients, and no one paid much attention to it.

There are a lot of people in the artificial garden area, but most of them are old men and women sitting on the flower steps chatting, and Shen Pang searched all the way and didn't see anyone who could "attract" him.

On the edge of the courtyard wall, Shen Pang didn't see any "abnormal" people, and sat on the edge of the flower platform with some disappointment, there were few people here, it was quieter, the dense trees were towering, and the afterglow of the slanting sun in the west could not shine here, and it was even more secluded.

The wind blew the leaves slightly, and the momentum of a tree in front of him was a little different, Shen Pang raised his eyes and looked, and was suddenly stunned, and couldn't help but stand up with a "brush".

Just three or four meters in front of him, he felt that there was a tree, and there was obviously a person sitting there, an old man who looked like he was in his fifties and almost sixty, staring at him with a smile.

"Uncle, I thought it was...... It's a tree......" Shen Pang couldn't help but speak, but he felt inappropriate when he said it, the old man was not tall when he sat there, and it was estimated that he was only one meter and six meters tall when he stood up, how could he be regarded as a "tree"?

The old man said with a smile: "Little friend, do you 'see' me as a tree? ”

Shen Pang didn't blame the old man when he saw him, so he smiled wryly and said, "It's just a feeling, sometimes it feels wrong!" ”

"That's what it feels like!" The old man nodded and said, "The child looks like he's sick, right?" ”

Shen Pang smiled bitterly again, the old man's words were actually obvious, probably because he didn't want to stimulate him, so he simply replied frankly: "Yes, the brain cancer is in the advanced stage, and the doctor said that there are three months left at most!" ”

The old man looked at his expression and said meaningfully: "Look at your young age, you can see it!" ”

Shen Pang sighed: "What if you think about it? What if you can't think about it? I can't think of it, I don't have the ability to save this life, think about the past and present, the Ganges River is like sand, how many emperors and generals, how many heroes and beauties, how many rich businessmen, what am I compared to them? Haven't they all become a pile of loess and sediment in just a few decades? People are going to die after all, it's just a matter of time and time, I just can't bear to give up the concern of my parents, without me, I'm afraid they will have no meaning in life, I'm worried about this! ”

Shen Pang said this is actually a deep meaning, "the meaning of life" and "the meaning of survival" is the difference between the word, but the meaning is very different, he is all his parents, without him, his parents are like puppets who have lost their souls, there is no meaning of life at all, his parents probably will not say that their son is dead, they will not live, survival is just living, life is meaning, the son is alive is life, it is their happiness and fun, if the son dies, then their happiness and fun will also disappear, The rest is probably just a body that is still breathing.

The old man stared at him and said with a smile: "What you say is not like a young boy said, but like what an old man like me said, it is somewhat interesting!" ”

After a pause, the old man asked him again, "What are you doing in this forest instead of staying in the ward?" ”

Shen Pang pondered for a moment before replying: "I just heard someone 'drinking' on the top floor, which reminded me of my parents, teachers, classmates, and so on, and the sound felt like it was coming from here, so I came down and took a walk......

The old man said a little meaningfully: "The top floor is very high, I'm afraid I will fall into a pile of meat if I jump down!" ”

When Shen Pang heard the old man say this, his heart moved, stared at him and asked, "Uncle, was it your name before?" ”

"Is it me?" The old man was noncommittal, looked at Shen Pang and said, "You have both 'seen' the tree and 'heard' and drank, but you have some spirituality, and you and I can be regarded as some chance to meet by chance, or not, I will give you something for you to see, and if you feel it, you will meet again!" ”

As soon as the old man spoke, he flipped his hand, and there was an extra note between his fingers and handed it to Shen Pang.

Shen Pang is a little funny, the old man talks and acts like some of the "Jianghu people" in the novel, maybe he is a fitness old man who practices Tai Chi gossip in the park.

The sun set, the words on the note were not clear, and when he looked up, the old man did not know that he had disappeared into the forest alley.

As soon as he came out of the twelfth floor by elevator, his mother rushed up and hugged him tightly, and said a little choked: "Xiaopang, where have you been?" Scared mom out of ......"

Shen Pang knew that his mother was afraid that he wouldn't be able to think about it, so he comforted her with a smile: "I'm bored in the ward, I'm going to take a walk in the park area downstairs!" ”

Mother Shen took a step back, looked at her son's face, and looked away for a while before she looked away, she didn't see anything wrong on her son's face.

The father also came back, sat on the edge of the bed and was stunned, until Shen Pang's mother and son came in, they jumped up and got out of the way as if frightened, and wanted to help Shen Pang lie on the bed.

Shen Pang smiled: "Dad, I'm not that weak, I'm hungry, right?" I smell the fragrance, is it the porridge that my mother bought? Mom, Dad, eat a little! ”

Shen's mother hurriedly spread out a disposable bowl and chopsticks to serve porridge, Shen Pang said that the whole family eats, but where can the worried and tired and haggard parents eat?

And Shen Pang himself was sick and couldn't eat anything, but he didn't want his parents to starve, so he pretended to be very fragrant and stuffed half a bowl of porridge into his stomach, and he didn't stop eating until he couldn't eat it anymore.
