Chapter 20: Passing Away

I lay there quietly, watching the red of the setting sun slowly fade from the curtains and eventually turn gray, and everything around me began to blur, and I could no longer see it even if I opened my eyes wide.

Some people will think that after working in the hospital for so many years, they must have seen through life and death a long time ago and can face it calmly. Not really. Every time I see the life and death of others, I always feel that my nose is sour and my throat is terrizzled, and I think that if I encounter such a thing, I must not be able to bear it.

But when he really became a party, although he had a grudge in his heart, he still accepted it so calmly. Because, there really is no other way but to accept.

There was silence all around, if it weren't for the rate of breathing, as if time had frozen there.

The only thing I can't control is my thoughts. As soon as her heart moved, Meng Yiling's words were still in her ears.

She said, "Give me three days, and I will give you a conclusion in three days!" ”

I know that this so-called "give me a conclusion" means "send me on my way"! With Meng Yiling's erudition and ice and snow intelligence, coupled with the cooperation of Tian Ge's father and daughter, maybe he can really win the topic that the old man didn't have time to break through in one fell swoop! Sure enough, I didn't choose the wrong person! I was relieved in my heart.

But I was conflicted: If it weren't for her intervention, maybe I would have been able to stay in this world of flowers for a while longer! Is this step right or wrong?

I did the math in my heart, today is the last day of the three-day period, why hasn't she come to send me the conclusion yet? Should I be disappointed or happy if I didn't come, or if I didn't come and tell me she couldn't do it?

I closed my eyes and followed my heartbeat to read the seconds, one second, two seconds......

I don't know how many seconds I was reading, but there was a knock on the door and someone walked in.

The lights were turned on, and I was so shaken that I couldn't open my eyes for a moment.

When his eyes adjusted to the light and saw the person clearly, he found that it was not Meng Yiling, but Uncle Zhao!

Although he was surprised, he said politely: "You...... Come on! ”

He walked over, sat down on the edge of my bed, and said with a hint of heaviness on his face: "I have already heard what Lao Tian said about you, have you really made up your mind?" ”

I pretended to smile lightly and said, "It's all here, what's not to make up your mind." It's like being a soldier on the battlefield, you never know what will happen before you go, but you can not go! ”

He looked up at me with concern, and asked again, "I called you out of your hometown this time, so many things happened, do you blame Uncle Zhao?" ”

It turns out that he came for this. I quickly smiled and reached over to his shoulder and said, "What are you talking about?" If I can't get out, I won't encounter these things sooner or later! ”

A hint of relief appeared on his face when he heard this, and he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to me, saying, "I think it's time to give this to you." ”

I took it and looked at it, and the cover read: Give me Tao Yong. My heart moved, could it be that this is the letter left to me by the old man?

Quickly opened the envelope, unfolded the letter and read.

Tao Yong:

You can see this letter, it means that Dad has passed away from this world, and it also shows that you are determined to face the problem I once faced!

All these years, I have dedicated myself to solving this mystery and saving our family, especially you, from the threat of death. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, it had not been realized. Everything has an effect, there must be a cause, we have the right to know the reason for all this, and we must know it too!

After I leave, Uncle Zhao will tell you all the causes and consequences, and I will ask him to take you out of your hometown. Because only by doing this will you believe that all this is true and find a solution, instead of hiding in ignorance for the rest of your life!

Dad sincerely hopes that this mystery will be the final end for you! Dad even hopes that when you face it, you haven't married and had children, because I really don't want you to be like me, because you can't even protect your own flesh and blood, and suffer for so many years.

Father: Tao Jingxi

After reading it, I seemed to understand why the old man was so alienated from me back then. The more intimate he is with me, the more he may not be able to do research without interference.

The mood was complicated, and I didn't know what to say for a while, so I could only be silent.

Uncle Zhao saw that I didn't speak, and said in a comforting tone: "I can feel that you have always had a knot in your father's heart and feel that he doesn't care about you." But we all know that the reason why he worked so hard all those years was so that you would not repeat his sin!

We've heard him say that this blood curse is very strange, it doesn't seem to be the same pattern in every descendant, I don't know when it will attack, and I don't know how it will attack, so compared to the actual threat, it gives people a lot of psychological pressure.

I heard your mother say that at that time, every time your father left his hometown, he would give her a small cloth bag, saying that if he couldn't come back, he would send the cloth bag to Lao Zhao. Think about what it feels like to feel like every time he does that? He's really a strong guy, and if it were me, he would probably have had a nervous breakdown! We look at him, look at you, it really hurts, but there is nothing we can do. ”

As he said this, his brow furrowed and his teeth clenched, and he could see that he was holding back tears.

"Don't say that!" I quickly pretended not to care and said, "You and Uncle Tian have already done a lot for us!" Now I'm happy, really, maybe I'll have a chance to be a fearless hero! Let you recall it in the future, you will say that Tao Yong is a man like his father! ”

As soon as the words fell, the door opened again, and Meng Yiling walked in.

When I looked at her, I couldn't help but be taken aback, only to see that her eyelids were puffy, her face was haggard, and her whole person had lost weight, like a delicate peony that had become a sick plum! It seems that the past three days have also been a double torture of physical and mental pressure for her!

Seeing her like this, I felt even more in my heart that no matter what the next step would be, I planned to be like the old man's deathbed entrustment, let this unfortunate curse come to an end with me, and not bring more pain to more people!

"I'm coming to pick you up." Her voice also became slightly hoarse, as if she couldn't find a suitable word to describe what we were going to face next, and could only use this slightly warm expression.

"Good!" I expressed my wordless trust to her with a smile.

On a July day, it was still a little stuffy after nightfall. Meng Yiling was constantly going in and out of my hospital room, and after a while, I saw that fine beads of sweat had begun to ooze from the corners of her forehead. When the door opened and closed, I could vaguely hear the sound of conversation in the corridor, I could distinguish those voices, and sure enough, Teacher Tian, Tian Ge, and Wang Jianguo also came.

After about an hour, I felt that the preparations were done, and the last time Meng Yiling walked in, she was holding a small cloth bag in her hand. I thought to myself, looking at the size of this bag, it shouldn't fit any big hammers and knives or anything like that, it seems that I can die a little better later.

After a while, Tian Ge came in with another wooden basin and placed it next to me, and then walked over without saying a word and helped me to sit in a chair next to me. Then she looked at me, turned around and went out.

Seeing me looking at Tian Ge's back strangely, Meng Yiling said, "She doesn't want to add pressure to you if she doesn't speak. ”

"I'm not stressed, I'm just curious." I replied calmly.

Meng Yiling looked at me a little surprised.

"I have faith in you!" I think this is what every family member of a patient who is pushed into the operating room will say to the doctor. After all, the little life is in the hands of others!

But she lowered her head and said, "I can't tell you what I'm going to do, if you do, you're going to be cranky, and it will make this operation more difficult." You'd better not think about anything now, and the quieter your mind is, the better. ”

I looked at her and smiled and asked, "Will you miss me after I pass?" "I always feel that if I don't ask this sentence now, I won't have a chance in the future.

She was stunned for a moment, walked over and squatted down, looked up into my eyes and said seriously, "I'll know when you come back." Now you have to be obedient and sleep for a while. ”

Before I could savor the meaning of her words, she reached out and stroked my eyelids. Immediately after that, my eyebrows cooled, and I felt like a needle had pierced it.

It turned out that she was going to use acupuncture!

Immediately afterwards, I felt as if my feet were being put in hot water, and the temperature was neither hot nor cold, and I felt so comfortable, and this smell ...... I remember it was......

Before I could think about it, my consciousness seemed to have begun to gradually diverge and become a little blurred......

At first, I sighed that it was nice to enter Elysium so calmly, but suddenly, some small voices came into my ears, and it felt like some noisy human voices. Because my eyes are closed, my sense of hearing seems to become more sensitive.

Footsteps, lots of footsteps, crying, jumbled shouts, one of which was relatively clearly audible and shouted, "Let her come out and tell us!" ”

There were many voices arguing with each other, and among them, Mr. Tian's voice was saying, "She is now treating an important patient!" We'll talk about her coming out in a while, okay? ”

There was the sound of something heavy falling on the ground, there was the sound of the wall being hit, there was the sound of metal, there was a moan, and Tian Ge was heard shouting eagerly: "Dad......"

My heart moved, and my heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Then I felt Meng Yiling's hand on my wrist, probably sensing that I had begun to be disturbed, she quickly leaned into my ear and said, "Don't think nonsense, you need to concentrate!" ”

Her hands felt a little cold and wet, her voice trembled slightly, and she felt a little nervous.

"Outside......" I said vaguely, as if I couldn't control my mouth, "happen...... Finish...... What's up? ”

She didn't answer me, but said, "Whatever happens now, you don't care, you must pay attention!" ”

"Tian ...... Tian Lao ...... "I struggled to say.

"Tao Yong, listen to me, now is our last chance, we can only move forward! You must concentrate now! ......"I listened to what she said, and I felt a slight pain in my left ear, and then I began to hear things indistinctly. She must have sealed my hearing with a needle. Before my right ear was sealed, the last voice I heard seemed to be Wang Jianguo saying, "Master, it seems that I can't be polite to them......
