"Master, how are you doing?" Gu Zhennan asked.

"It's old, it's useless." The old man chuckled.

Seeing Guo Xiang beside Gu Zhennan, the old man smiled, "This is your daughter-in-law?" ”

"Well, her name is Guo Xiang, she is a doctor, she has opened a hospital, and we will take you to her hospital for treatment." Gu Zhennan said.

The old man nodded at Guo Xiang, "Xiao Guo, hello!" ”

Guo Xiang hurriedly stepped forward, "Old man, hello!" ”

She didn't know what to call it, she didn't know the old man's name, and she didn't seem to be able to call her master, he was Gu Zhennan's master, not her own.

"What is wrong with you? How long has it been? Guo Xiang asked.

"It's been months." Qi Ze on the side replied, "Master, he had a fever at the beginning, coughing and wheezing. We went to the doctor in the village to see us and prescribed some Chinese medicine to eat, but it didn't work. ”

"Later, I sweated at every turn, and I lost a lot of weight. There is nothing particularly painful about the others, but the spirit is very bad, so I don't pay too much attention to it, thinking that it is because of the old age. Qi Ze said.

Guo Xiang nodded, he was about fifty years old when Gu Zhennan met his master, and more than twenty years have passed, and the old man should be nearly eighty years old.

That is, he had a good physical foundation before learning martial arts, otherwise he would have lived a long life at this age in the countryside.

"What about the rest, what else is uncomfortable?" Guo Xiang asked again.

"It's still itchy all the time, and I've scratched the food on my feet piece by piece. I also found a Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe a washing medicine, but it didn't get better. The old man said.

Guo Xiang chuckled in his heart, these symptoms seem to be typical symptoms of lymphoma.

"Shall I check it for you?" Guo Xiang said a word, stretched out his hand and touched the old man's neck, and sure enough, he seemed to have touched the lymph nodes.

"How?" Gu Zhennan asked.

Guo Xiang lowered his eyes, "I still have to go to the hospital for an examination to find out." ”

Gu Zhennan nodded and said to Qi Ze, "Clean up?" Go to the hospital now. ”

The two of them don't have any luggage either? After a brief cleanup, Gu Zhennan helped the old man to his car? He's watching from behind? Let Qi Ze sit in the co-pilot.

Guo Xiang drove the car himself and followed behind.

"Didn't you go to the hospital for a check-up when you were at home?" Gu Zhennan asked Qi Ze.

"It's not ......" Qi Ze's face was a little red, "Just look for the village doctor in the village?" Drink some herbs. Later, I really couldn't go to the county hospital to see a doctor, but the doctor said that those CT scans and various light examinations cost hundreds of yuan? We don't have the money......"

Gu Zhennan pursed his lips? Can't get a few hundred dollars?

"How have you spent all these years?" Gu Zhennan asked.

"I am an orphan who was adopted by Master. We live in an alien household, and we don't have any land for us, so we usually rely on me to do a little odd job? Master sometimes went hunting in the mountains. ”

Gu Zhennan frowned? In fact, with Master's skills, he could have come out and find a job casually.

However, he was reluctant to come out when he met him back then, and he may not like the outside even more when he gets older.

"I don't have any skills, so I can't make money...... Qi Ze seemed embarrassed.

"Later, Master was really sick and couldn't get out of bed? He just told me that he also had a big apprentice, and when he used to go to town, he occasionally saw a person on TV in a store whose name was the same as him? I wonder if it will be his big apprentice. ”

"Actually, we don't have much hope for coming this time, after all, there are many people with the same name and surname? In case of mistake. I didn't expect it to be you, big brother! ”

Gu Zhennan nodded? "You should have come to me sooner."

When Guo Xiang arrived at the hospital, he immediately arranged for the elderly to be hospitalized? Let them wash up first? I changed my hospital gown and then arranged various tests.

Although I had a guess in my heart, I still hoped that it would not be what I thought, and that it would be verified by inspection.

The result backfired, and after examination, it turned out to be lymphoma.

Lymphoma is a malignant lymphoma and is the most serious type of cancer.

Moreover, the old man's lymphoma is at an advanced stage, and he is still so old that he can hardly be treated.

Guo Xiang's expression was a little solemn.

"How?" Gu Zhennan asked, he has also been in the hospital for the past two days.

"Call Qi Ze over!" Guo Xiang said, Gu Zhennan knew that it must be very serious when he heard it.

Called Qi Ze to the office, and the three of them together, Guo Xiang took out various test sheets.

"It's lymphoma, and it's advanced." Guo Xiang said.

"What?" Qi Ze's face changed suddenly, even if he didn't know what lymphoma was, he knew it was bad when he heard that it was cancer.

"Is that curable?" Qi Ze asked.

"There are ways to treat, mainly chemoradiotherapy, which can also be treated with traditional Chinese medicine." Guo Xiang looked at the two, "But the old man is old, and the chemotherapy and radiotherapy are very painful, and it won't last long." Chinese medicine may also try, my master is in the hospital, and he may be able to prolong his life a little, but it is also ......" Guo Xiang did not say any more.

Obviously, it can't be cured, and even if it is, it will only drag on for a while.

But the old man is getting older, and dragging on for a while will only increase the pain, and the symptoms will not cure the root cause.

"How much time is left?" Gu Zhennan asked.

"Up to three months." Guo Xiang replied, sighing secretly in his heart, he didn't expect to see him for many years, and goodbye is life and death.

"Senior brother, what should I do?" Qi Ze's eyes turned red, he didn't expect it to be so serious.

He thought that when he came to the capital, the senior brother was so rich, there must be a way, but he didn't expect the master to be terminally ill.

He was brought up by his master, and although he did not recognize him as his father, the two were like father and son, and their relationship was very deep.

Gu Zhennan didn't know either, it was the first time he encountered this incident.

He looked at Guo Xiang, Guo Xiang shook his head, "It's okay to be treated, it's your own hospital anyway, it's not a matter of money, but chemotherapy is really painful, nausea and vomiting, a lot of hair loss, people can only lie in bed ......"

"My personal suggestion is to take this time to ask the old man what other wishes, and you can help him fulfill them together. Or take the old man out to travel, walk around, and walk happily......" Guo Xiang was also a little unable to speak.

Gu Zhennan and Qi Ze glanced at each other, "Then how do you tell Master?" ”

Gu Zhennan pondered for a moment, "Let's tell the truth, Master has lived to this age, and many things should be taken lightly." ”

The two returned to the ward together, and the old man saw that the apprentice's eyes were red, and he seemed to have guessed a little.

"Master!" Qi Ze couldn't hold back his tears for a while.

"Crying for what?" The old man smiled, "I've lived so long enough to be old, seeing you grow up, Zhennan is so promising, it's worth it!" ”

"Master, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" Gu Zhennan squatted down and looked at the master.

"Wish?" The old man hesitated for a moment and smiled, "I don't have any wishes, your master and wife are gone, I can go to her, it's good!" ”
