Chapter 838: Terminally Ill (2)
Ahem - a low, intense cough lasted for half a minute before Asig removed his palm from his mouth and poked it directly into his pants pocket.
The sharp-eyed Xu Qing found that there was a trace of blood at the corner of his father's mouth that had not been wiped off, and his eyelids blinked, and he saw the palm of his weak hand through the thin trouser pocket, and a small pool of blood was particularly dazzling in the palm.
What's wrong with him? Sick? Willing to pay 10,000 taels of gold for the sake of two broken keys, why can't you treat your illness...... Xu Qing's brows tightened, his eyes focused on the pool of blood, and all kinds of questions lingered in his heart like a marquee.
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to be filial and his relatives are not there. The moral in the old saying poured into Xu Qing's brain like an initiation, he felt that the 36,000 pores on his body were bubbling out, but he didn't expect to see his father's body problems when they met for the first time, and the symptoms were quite serious from coughing up blood.
"Kid, Ashig always counts when he speaks, can you show me the key to the Imperial Tomb?" Ashig Khan had already stepped closer and stretched out his other palm.
Xu Qing nodded, put the two keys lightly in his palm, and his fingertips inadvertently touched the palm, so cold that he could hardly feel a little body temperature, I don't know why there was a strange feeling at the moment when the two of them touched their palms, it was a purely heartfelt thing, déjà vu.
Ashig Khan pinched the key in his hand, and it only took a moment to distinguish the authenticity, these two pieces were the real keys to the imperial tomb, spread out his palms and looked at them carefully, and a thick look of disappointment appeared on his face.
Ten thousand taels of gold is a small matter, he wants to find a little difference on the key the most, only that one of the five keys to the imperial tomb has a mark on it that outsiders do not know, but unfortunately the two keys in his hand are not among the special ones he is looking for.
Xu Qing took a breath and tried to calm the throbbing in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "This thing is real, right?" Ahig Khan smiled reluctantly, nodded and said, "Yes, I accepted the things, and the promised reward can be paid at any time." ”
Xu Qing looked at his father's sideburns covered with gorgeous hair, glanced at the palm that had never been withdrawn from his trouser pocket, and suddenly asked, "What disease do you have?" ”
Ashig Khan was taken aback by this abrupt question, he was the last person he was willing to talk about his illness in normal times, his close attendants knew that it was a taboo, and if he mentioned it, it would cause him to be very unhappy, and even angry, but today I don't know why, he didn't have the slightest disgust at this strange young man to bring it up.
"You want to know what disease I have?" The corners of Ashige's mouth twitched, but he didn't show the slightest smile, and said very flatly: "Have you ever heard of tuberculosis?" That is, the lung cancer in Western medicine is at an advanced stage. ”
Xu Qing didn't say a word, he knew very well what it meant to be in the advanced stage of lung cancer, but all diseases with the word cancer are fatal, and the word advanced is basically incurable. He felt a mess in his mind now, sad but without tears......
Ahig Khan looked at Xu Qing's face and sighed lightly: "Alas! Everyone has this day, it's just early and late, I actually have a son, if he is he should be about the same age as you, I really hope to see him and help me do something, okay? ”
Xu Qingqiang couldn't help but say sadly: "What's the matter? As long as I can, I will do my best. ”
Ahig Khan laughed: "Slap me, hit me hard, just for my son who has never met......" After speaking, he raised his head and gritted his teeth.
