Benevolence of the Doctor (柒)

Cai Yi got up from the table in a chaotic manner, he rubbed his eyes, it turned out that he had somehow fallen asleep, but it seemed that he had a dream, and someone in the dream told him that he could cure the epidemic by using his own blood as a medicine.

He felt a tingling pain in his palm, and when he looked up, he saw that there were several small scars on his palm that had been pierced into the flesh by his fingernails.

"It's not a dream. ”

For some reason, his eyes were moist, he didn't know where the black-robed man came from, and where did he go? But about the gambling contract he said, he lost tens of thousands of innocent lives, if this was true, what should he do?

"If it were you, you would want me to live well. ”

Life and death, good and evil, are just a thought. The Buddha said: One thought becomes a demon, and one thought becomes a Buddha.

I'm just an ordinary doctor, I used to just want to live the life I liked with the person I liked, and take care of the small hospital left by my father, how could I ever think of being the savior.

"When we study medicine, don't we pay attention to saving lives and helping the wounded. ”

............

Blood filled the entire medicine pot, and Cai Yi's wrist was cut with a knife A deep wound, at this time, there was no blood flowing outward, or rather, there was no blood to flow.

His face was not a little bloody, and he leaned against the wall, as if he had never felt so relaxed, as if everything was on his mind.

"I told you to go slowly, didn't I come looking for you. ”

He smiled, this time from the heart.

His vision blurred, and before it was dark, he saw a familiar figure, seemingly smiling and angry.

"Is it worth it?"

The person in front of him seemed to reach out and touch his face, a little distressed.

He took the hand, and this time he clenched.

"How can you be as good as you want, but you want to be worthy of your heart. ”

The epidemic that brought catastrophe to Jiangxia is over, and a scholar who is not even a doctor saves this thousand-year-old capital with a medicine pot.

No one knew what was in his pot, only that if he used the medicine in his pot as a medicine, he would be able to cure the disease.

When the Son of Heaven heard about this, he did not hesitate to send a minister to invite him to the palace, wanting to be canonized and rewarded, but when the minister who came by order inquired about the residence of this scholar-like doctor, he had already hanged himself at home, and there was no one to collect the body. It hung on the beams until it was discovered.

"Life is what I want, and death is what I want. You can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness are also. ”

I'd rather be a good companion when I go than be lonely when I come. This may be a person's last temperament.

On the edge of a cliff outside Jiangxia County, a black-robed man was squinting, overlooking the thousand-year-old capital. The black robe obscured his appearance, but it gave people a cold feeling.

"Have you won this?" said an old voice behind the black-robed man. An old man on crutches, with a rickety figure and an ugly appearance, staggered over.

"Have you won?" the old man said, standing side by side with the black-robed man.

"I've never lost. The black-robed man replied coldly.

"But are you cheating?" asked the old man, bent over, a lot shorter than the black-robed man, looking up at him.

"I just told him the consequences and didn't get in the way of his choice. ”

"Hmph, you seem to have thought of a thousand reasons to answer me. The old man snorted coldly and said.

"I don't have to think of any reason, if you lose, you lose. I'll have what I want ready for me. The black-robed man's tone was still cold, but the old man saw a pair of young eyes through the black robe, where did this look like a young man's eyes?

"These people are really stupid. The old man sneered.

"The human heart is such a thing, but it is very wonderful. One thought of good and evil, one thought of life and death, as if all things are in this thought. You and I win or lose exactly between this thought. After the black-robed man finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Can you answer me a question?" the old man asked, looking at him.

"Asked. ”

"Who the hell are you?" his tone inadvertently revealed a hint of murderous intent, but the black-robed man didn't seem to care at all.

"You're not qualified to ask me. ”

The figure of the black-robed man disappeared from the old man's sight with a gust of wind. On the edge of the cliff, only the old man was left alone.

He shook his head with a smile and slammed his cane the ground.

"If you don't say it, I've already guessed that the only person who can take those guys in the slightest is you, but ...... Hehe, forget it, I'm really not qualified to know about you. ”

............

"Alright, that's the end of the story. ”

The boss put down the steaming teacup, looked at Cai Yi, who was listening a little distracted in front of him, and said softly.

"How is that possible? How can human blood be used as a cure for epidemics? This doesn't work from a medical point of view. Cai Buguo looked puzzled and questioned himself repeatedly.

"A story is a story because you can't believe it, and you can't believe it all. The boss's tone was still flat.

Cai Buguo nodded thoughtfully.

"Can you fulfill one of my wishes?" Cai Buguo looked at the boss, his eyes full of longing.

The boss filled his cup with tea again, but this time he didn't drink it, just put it in front of him.

"I didn't plan to accept your medicine pot, but I might as well listen to your wishes first, and then I will make a decision. ”

Cai Buguo looked at him and let out a long sigh.

"My father was a doctor, he saved a lot of people, and a lot of people respected him. But he had cancer, which was terminal. I don't think he should just leave, at least I want him to see that I'm a doctor like him. So I think you can save him. ”

After Cai Buguo finished speaking, he stood up, bowed deeply to the boss, and refused to straighten up for a long time.

"Let me ask you a question. The boss looked down at the tea in the cup, "If you were that Cai Yi, what would you choose?"

"I ......" For a while, Cai Buguo felt a little difficult to answer. Yes, what courage it is for a person to give his life calmly.

"If I were just an ordinary person, then I wouldn't be this so-called savior, but if I were a doctor, it would be my duty to treat diseases and save people, even if I risked my life. ”

A smile tugged at the corner of the boss's mouth, as if the answer was as he expected.

"Do you really believe that I can change a person's life or death?" the boss asked meaningfully.

Cai Buguo shook his head, "Actually, I don't believe it very much, but now I have no choice but to believe." ”

"You like to tell the truth. The boss looked at him and smiled. "Actually, I am losing money by doing this business with you, and I can't change a person's life and death without authorization. But......" he picked up the tea in front of him and stopped in mid-air, "I shouldn't be that ordinary person. For the sake of your filial piety, I will accept your medicine pot. ”

"Really? Then you're going to promise me. Cai Buguo was a little excited when he heard this, and joy was written on his face.

"Why should you have a drink with me?" he shook the teacup, Cai Buguo understood what he meant, picked up the teacup and touched it with him, and then drank it.

"Go back, have a good chat with your father, I think there is any knot between your father and son that should be untied. He said, putting down his teacup.

Cai Buguo was slightly startled when he heard this, then smiled and bowed to him deeply.

Just as he turned to leave the store, the boss's voice came from behind him.

"What are you doctors for?"

"Isn't it just to be worthy of your heart? ”

The rain stopped, rainbows stretched across the sky, and the sunlight after the rain was warm, shining through the windows of the wards and illuminating the entire room.

Cai Buguo pushed open the door of the ward, and the pale and skinny middle-aged man was looking out the window, admiring the brilliant rainbow.

"Dad. Cai Buguo's eyes were a little red, he really didn't expect that the doctor who had treated so many people would one day lie on the hospital bed and wait for death.

The middle-aged man didn't look back, just quietly looked out the window.

Cai Buguo moved a small bench and sat on the edge of the middle-aged man's bed, took an apple and peeled it quietly.

"Dad, I know that you have never wanted me to study medicine, and you want me to study abroad so that I can find a good job in the future. But my dream is to be a person like you, a doctor like you, who has the duty to save lives. You have always been great in my heart, and I chose this path as a doctor because of you. I want you to see the day I graduate from medical school and get my doctor's license, and then tell you that your son and I will be like you. ”

He said as he peeled the apple, and wept. He may not have seen it, the middle-aged man lying on the bed looking out the window, already in tears.

............

When Cai Buguo got his graduation certificate with the first grade in medical school and became a full-fledged doctor, the first thing he did was to kneel at his father's bedside and cry silently.

And this middle-aged man, who had not been smiling, raised his hand with great difficulty, touched his head, and finally smiled.

Cai Buguo's father is gone, in this sunny spring. At that time, the clinical expert doctor said that Cai Buguo's father did not live for a month, but he miraculously persevered for a year, and he was smiling when he left, which may be his only long-cherished wish fulfilled.

When Cai Buguo sorted out his father's relics, he turned to a notebook that was some years old, and his father's name was still written on it.

He opened it and saw that it was densely packed with medical knowledge, and on the last page of the notebook, his father wrote a paragraph: Those of us who are doctors have seen too much life and death, and I know that one day I will leave this world, but before that I want to do my best to heal every one of my patients. I want my son to be a doctor like me and help every patient in need, but I don't want my son to become a doctor because the profession is too hard and tiring. In the future, he has to choose his own path, but if he really becomes a doctor one day, I will definitely tell him: no matter how hard and tired you are, you must persevere, because you carry a responsibility.

Decades later, at an academic symposium of medical experts, Cai Buguo, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and an expert in respiratory diseases, made a series of wonderful speeches, which won a round of applause from the audience.

After the academic symposium, Cai Buguo was interviewed by reporters, and when he was asked how he insisted on doing it in the medical profession without regrets for decades, he looked at the camera and smiled.

All of a sudden, the memory seemed to go back decades.

"Someone once asked, what are we doctors for? Decades later, my answer is still the same, those of us who are doctors are for a worthy heart!"

I would like to commemorate the heroes of the doctors who have worked hard in the fight against the novel coronavirus.

We may not know the names of these heroes, but they will go down in history and remain in the long river of history.

Many years later, people mentioned: At the end of Jihai, Gengzichun, Jingchu epidemic, tens of thousands of people were infected. The crowd was terrified, and the defense was raised, and all the houses were closed. There are no cars and boats on the streets, and the alleys are empty. Green silk, white hair, all in the lead, cloth clothes, businessmen, all vying to be the first to help. Nanshan Town guarded the southern capital of the Yangtze River, and led tens of thousands of white-clothed men to resist it. And Kyushu is one heart, more than a month, the epidemic is gone, the lights are on, all countries are praised, and the country is safe and secure.
