Chapter 12: Change
Time is fleeting, they are also full of food and drink after three rounds of wine, Lin Li did not forget to praise the manager when he left the hot pot restaurant: "It tastes good, and I will have the opportunity to come again in the future." ”
"Fun!" Lin Li took a deep breath of cold winter air, and the feeling of this ice and fire empowerment was very comfortable.
"Since it's getting late, why don't you move in another place?" Maybe the air in the store was too stuffy, Xiao Yueqing's ruddy face was flushed, and she couldn't tell the difference between drunkenness.
"Okay, then that's it for today, it'll be the same place for a while, see you or leave." Lin Li looked at each other and smiled.
"Okay, then I'll see you at the old place." Xiao Yueqing agreed.
"We'll see you later."
After saying goodbye, Xiao Yueqing's figure walked towards the street, and disappeared into the crowd in a trance.
The half moon hangs high, and every household in the Longting community, located in the center of the troubled area, is still brightly lit. Although there is no place for him in this city, he will always feel at ease when he looks at others in the bustling corner of the night, so happy and presumptuous.
He was taking a leisurely walk while enjoying the night view around him, when an unfamiliar ringing interrupted his train of thought, and for some reason, the phone call made him feel uneasy about something about to happen.
An unfamiliar number was displayed above the mobile phone, and Lin Li habitually connected the phone: "Hey, hello ......"
"Xiao Li! Hurry up to Hancheng People's Hospital! Your dad he... Your dad fainted! The other end of the phone preemptively interrupted the opening, and Lin Li immediately recognized his mother's voice, but the anxious tone kept coming out of the phone.
"What's going on? How could my dad faint when he was so decent? His mind suddenly went blank, a little overwhelmed, and even a little incredulous, how he ended up in the hospital after chatting happily with himself yesterday.
It's just that everything came so suddenly, the frequent urging sound on the other end of the phone made him have to accept the reality, he didn't have time to think about it and hung up the phone in a hurry, he didn't have time to pack his luggage and ran all the way to the station, but sometimes it backfired, he couldn't buy a high-speed rail ticket at night, he couldn't care much, and he was ruthless to recruit a taxi on the side of the road, now is not the time to save money!
And this more than 800 kilometers of journey is as painful as walking on the road of hell, all the way to make him fidget like an ant on a hot pot, like a dream haunting him, after falling asleep in a daze, and then when he wakes up again, all this has to become a reality.
When he arrived at the hospital, it was already the next morning, Lin Li's father was sent to the local city's tertiary hospital, asked the front desk for the room number, and then climbed the stairs non-stop. When he arrived outside the ward, the beds in the room were already crowded.
"How's my dad?" Before he could take a break, Lin Li saw at a glance that his father was plugged into breathing pipes of different sizes on the bed, and the haggard pale face made him feel a pain in his heart.
"Your father's old illness has relapsed..."It was Lin Li's uncle who spoke, in addition to Lin Li's mother, he was the first relative to rush to the hospital first, and he was busy with all the trivial matters in the hospital.
"Don't worry too much, your dad has passed the dangerous period safely and has now calmed down."
Lin Li breathed a sigh of relief, if he didn't get to the hospital in time to see his father, he might only be able to live in regret for the rest of his life.
"Your father is already in poor health, and this heart attack is mostly caused by overwork." Uncle shook his head and said with a sigh.
"My father's poor health is probably because of me." Lin Li's eyes flashed a hint of gloom, and he wanted to attribute all this to his own reasons.
"Xiaolin, don't blame yourself so much, it's not your fault, no one can say for sure about your father's illness." On the side, his mother walked over and took his hand and comforted him. For her, this child is just too sensible to be like this.
Seeing that his father was safe and sound, Lin Li adjusted his mood and signaled that he was fine. After greeting his relatives, Lin Li sat quietly beside his father.
For a long time, not long after the surrounding relatives and friends dispersed, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and soon, the footsteps leaned towards the door.
"Who are the patient's family members, I have something to talk to him about." Outside the room, a doctor wearing black glasses asked into the room.
"Tell me something, I'm the patient's son." Lin Li got up first, and then motioned for his mother to sit down and walk out first, there were some things he wanted to find out first.
The attending doctor nodded, signaling for Lin Li to follow behind him, although the corridor was short, but at this moment, Lin Li was a little apprehensive in his heart, and his uneasy mood filled his whole body.
"After the diagnosis of the comprehensive condition, your father's disease belongs to the coronary artery multi-branch disease, which is often referred to as heart disease, and the cause of this condition is the heart disease caused by the weakness of the body and the lack of strong heart machine caused by long-term lack of qi and blood." When Lin Li sat down, the doctor's deep voice was a little serious.
"Is that serious based on my father's current physical condition?" Lin Li frowned, and his hands clenched unconsciously.
"To tell you the truth, the patient's condition is not very good, and the hospital recommends treating him as soon as possible without delaying the condition."
"Considering your father's situation, our suggestion is to prepare more than 600,000 yuan for treatment, and it is best for you as family members to prepare enough expenses so as not to miss the best treatment period." The doctor continued.
"Is it about 600,000 yuan..."This is undoubtedly a slap in the face to him, although Lin Li behaved very calmly, but no one knew what kind of waves he set off in his heart, the seemingly calm appearance was already uncertain in his heart, worry, anxiety and anxiety floated in his heart, he couldn't believe that the common bloody plot on TV actually happened to him, this is more than 600,000 ah, the savings of an ordinary family for more than ten years!
"This is just a conservative estimate, I hope you are mentally prepared." The doctor also said in a slightly sympathetic tone. He has seen too many such families devastated by sky-high medical expenses, after all, there is no more difficult treatment in the world than poverty.
"Doctor, let's arrange his surgery as soon as possible, I will find a way to raise the medical expenses as soon as possible, my father's illness can not be delayed any longer." Although Lin Li was a little worried in his heart, no matter how high the cost was, no matter how difficult it was, he had to find ways to raise it, which involved his father's life.
"I'm going to bother you at this time." Lin Li stood up and shook hands with the doctor.
"That's what I'm supposed to do." The doctor nodded in response.
Back in the ward, under the repeated questioning of his mother, the truth was also revealed, and when Lin Li said the cost of treatment, the ward was obviously much calmer. The high cost of medical treatment is like a boulder weighing on everyone's heart, making people suffocate.
Lin Li's eyes fell on his father on the hospital bed, when was this man who supported the whole family again and again seemed so fragile at this moment, he knew that he had to do something at this time, instead of doing nothing here.
"Mom, take care of my dad, don't worry about money, I'll find a way to solve it." Lin Li was the first to speak to break the silence, he comforted his mother, he had to stand up at this time, after all, the matter was not yet desperate, and he couldn't give up.
Without waiting for his mother to speak, Lin Li turned around and walked out of the room, although his feet staggered a little.
"Six hundred thousand..."
Lin Li, who was standing downstairs in the hospital, muttered to himself, and then sat silently on the steps outside the hospital door, looking at the passing crowd in his eyes, the morning breeze blowing through his back, which seemed to make this man who had always been strong a little shaken, chaotic, helpless heart wanted to use smoke to dispel sorrows, a pair of slightly trembling hands wanted to bring the lighter close to the cigarette, but found that it could not be done.
After a long time, Lin Li slowly stood up, with a hint of fortitude in his ruddy eyes, as if he had decided something and walked towards the e-sports hall in the city.
There are no longer Internet cafes in the city, and at the same time as the rise of the prosperous era, it also represents the arrival of the VR era, and the e-sports hall is gradually replacing the Internet café and game hall.
"Give me a separate VR equipment room and brush my face directly." Lin Li walked into an e-sports stadium and said in a somewhat indifferent tone. The little girl at the bar is not surprised, she is just serving people, and there is no need to pursue the attitude of customers.
"Room 2, go upstairs and turn left." The little girl said politely.
After saying "thank you", he followed the direction pointed by the staff to find the room, lighting, VR equipment, exclusive platform, everything is so with a sense of technology, compared to this, the equipment at home seems so unbearable. But at this moment, Lin Li didn't bother to watch it, but hurriedly logged on to the account.
On the earth booth of the Yan Dynasty, the stone statue of the swordsman who had been in second place for a long time was also slowly emitting fluorescence, which marked the launch of the 'Mu Fengchen' master.
The flying sword landed, and Lin Li, dressed in white, went online again, unlike usual, the deep eyes did not have the previous brilliance, but were replaced by a pair of deep eyes, he came to the towering stone statue, staring at the long-term occupancy of the first 'Zhiqing', and there was a trace of perseverance on his thin face.
Lin Li wants to challenge the first place on the god list, not for anything else, just to make his account more valuable.
He understands that if he wants to raise medical expenses in a short period of time, he can only choose to sell his account 'Mu Fengchen'. The current situation is the only way he can come up with, and from his current estimates, the total value of the account is about 500,000, which means that in order to bid a high price, he must defeat the overlord on the list and stand at the top of this god list.
