Dog barking insects, tonight is destined to be another sleepless night, Mao Bowen was lying on the bed, he couldn't remember how he went home, he only remembered that Lao Li continued to talk about the key points of the autumn work after Jin Jian left, as for the specific development, he couldn't remember clearly, he only felt that there were many pairs of eyes watching him from time to time. Yes, in the eyes of others, he covets the name of an academician, and if he can't accept the facts, he takes the opportunity to take revenge. Make it clear that if Jin Jian is embarrassed this time, won't you have a chance Mao Bowen?

Only by doing so can you win the initiative, clarify the absurdity of the so-called conjecture, and try to reduce the public's attention to the "zero space". "Do your best in everything", isn't it?

As for what Jin Jian will think of himself, hypocrisy? Unfeeling? Vile? Poor Dr. Mao can't tell the truth, and he doesn't want his old friend of decades to hate him like this for the rest of his life, how can he explain it to Lao Jin? In fact, Dr. Mao did not have the leisure to explain the simple reason: Xiaoyi was sick, sudden, and had a high fever of 42 degrees. This is the peak that adults are afraid of. The cause was also found out, Xiaoyi drank tap water when washing her hands in the kindergarten, first had a stomachache, then intermittent fainting, and then shock, and continued high fever. After inspection, the tap water did not exceed the standard, and ordinary people drank it for a while with a stomachache at most, but how could Xiaoyi be so serious?

Dr. Mao can only guess that the people in this Qinjia Village grew up drinking water from the water island, and they have long been dependent on a certain mineral in the water, so why is it okay to drink boiled water? Is it because the boiling water is boiled at high temperatures?

Speculation is speculation, it does not substantially help Xiaoyi's condition, poor Xiaoyi has been in a coma for three days in a row, relying on intravenous drips to maintain the minimum energy consumption of the body. Dr. Mao's biggest concern was that a high fever might cause his organs to function and his brain. If Xiao Yi really has some mistakes, he Mao Bowen will regret the rest of his life and will never let go, do you really want to be a sinner for the ages?

On the fourth day, the little one's high fever subsided, and on the fifth day, the body's functional indicators tended to normal, and by this night, the little one had woken up and could drink porridge and some noodles. Maybe he's not used to sleeping with a large crowd watching.

"Grandpa, grandma, auntie, why don't you go to sleep?"

The crowd was speechless.

The sun shines in September, the river breeze blows on the face, overlooks the railing, the clouds hide the high-rise buildings, thousands of scenery make people laugh, and there is one person in the spare room.

Jin Jian stood at the head of the Yongding Bridge, sighing for a long time, the past few days seemed like a few years had passed for him, what best friends, what old brothers and brothers, all of them were like this surging river and never returned. For more than 20 years, I have always trusted and supported this person so much, but in the end, I was hurt the most by him and the most painful. Because of what, I am absurd? Greedy for fame and profit? Perhaps, but I didn't feel sorry for him, I didn't have the slightest idea of ruining his reputation and prestige, why did he treat me like this, so directly and so seriously, did he covet my vanity? It must be!

If it weren't for the sudden fainting of my wife in the morning, if I wasn't in a hurry to go to the nearest hospital, if it wasn't for the urgency to urinate and go to the second floor to find a toilet, hey, so coincidentally, I actually met him an old guy. He still pretended to be innocent. Phew!

It's a pity that God likes to fall into the well, Jin Jian is holding his wife's diagnosis in his hand: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This disease is commonly known as ALS, and the body of the person who gets this disease will be paralyzed step by step, and there is no precedent for a cure in China or even in the world, even in the United States, it can only prolong the life of the patient as much as possible, and the cost is huge. Lao Jin understands that a family like his cannot afford to pay for huge medical expenses. Looking at his wife, who had been with him for most of his life, he could only sigh hatefully: Hey!

Jinghua University has a history of more than 100 years, but it has rarely had such a big reputation as it is now, and news media from all over the country have flocked to it, and some newspapers and magazines have rushed to report on the front page. There is only one content: why would a professor at Jinghua University plagiarize a colleague's notes, it is actually a ridiculous conjecture of the latter, and such a person is still an elected academician. In short, all the spearheads are pointed at Jin Jian, and at the same time have a great negative impact on the century-old famous school. In the end, Jin Jian's academician qualification was cancelled and replaced by Mao Bowen, who strangely refused to accept it on the grounds that his work had not been done well and his ability was lacking, and he was not qualified for this honor. You must know that since the introduction of the academician selection system, no one has automatically given up the qualification of academicians, which is really unexpected. It's just that there is one thing that everyone thinks is normal: Lao Jin never said a word to Lao Mao again, in fact, he rarely talks to anyone except work.

Not long after, Jin Jian's group applied for a scientific research project in Zhejiang Province, on the one hand, the work was needed, and on the other hand, considering that the recuperation there was not bad, it might be helpful for the physical recovery of his wife Zhang Qin.

Time flies, and about two months have passed. One morning, Mao Bowen heard someone knocking on the office door, and when he opened it, it turned out to be Jin Jian, but the person looked obviously haggard.

"Brother Wen, you must help me!"

A sentence of Brother Wen evokes the memories of Dr. Mao many years ago, I remember that I was still a young man at that time, and the young people in the dormitory at that time liked to watch the Hong Kong version of the TV series "Shanghai Tang", and after watching it, everyone said that Brother Mao was also bold and upright, so everyone's "Brother Wen" became famous, but it was only Jin Jian who was transferred later, and Jin Jian was the only one who could work with him for decades. Now that people are old, no one jokes about that name anymore, colleagues generally call themselves Lao Mao, Lao Jin has called Brother Mao a few times, this Brother Wen is definitely not, it seems that this Lao Jin is in trouble.

"Old Jin, what's going on? Take your time. ”

"Brother Wen, it was my fault last time, you know Zhang Qin, she has been in poor health, the doctor said that her whole body will be paralyzed in another month, I want to send her abroad for treatment, but I need a lot of money, I ......" Jin Jian was anxious to explain, and his speech was a little incoherent.

"Lao Jin, don't say that, it's me, it's me who can't live with you, you say, how much does it cost? I can help you as much as I can, 20,000! Is 20,000 enough? ”

"This ...... You'd better take a look at this first. Jin Jian took out a stack of paper from the bag he brought with him, and Lao Mao took it, which recorded the doctor's order written by a doctor named Wang Yihan from Hangshan Central Hospital.

"Wang Yihan?"

"Well, the vice president of Hangzhou Hospital, the attending doctor of my lover Zhang Qin."

"Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis? Has it been diagnosed? ”

Jin Jian didn't answer, only nodded silently, Mao Bowen chuckled in his heart, he knew something about this disease, recognized as a world-class terminal disease, Dr. Hawking in the United Kingdom had this disease, and it was incurable at present, and Dean Wang only recommended some inhibitory recuperation. When I turned to the last page, I couldn't help but jump in my heart. It was written on paper that the disease would cost at least one million yuan at Johns Hopkins Hospital in the United States, and that it could only be as much as possible to alleviate the patient's suffering.

"Zhang Qin, she ......" Lao Mao didn't know how to comfort him, "Lao Jin, don't worry, Xiaohuzi (Mao Tingzhi's nickname) said that he plans to buy a car, I can tell him not to buy it yet, it is estimated that there will be 78,000, how much worse do you think?"

"Brother Wen, you know, my daughter Xiaomei went to study in the United States, and Zhang Qin has been taking imported medicine all these years, and the medical expenses for this trip to Beijing were paid in advance by Dean Wang, and the family really has no savings until now."

Jin Jian said that he couldn't hear the sound in the back, Mao Bowen knew that he was a very face-loving person, but Zhang Qin's illness couldn't be delayed for too long, what should I do? Lao Mao still couldn't help but say it.

"Lao Jin, if we don't raise donations from the society, maybe ......"

"No, Brother Wen, do you want everyone to find out about my mess again? I can't afford to lose that man! ”

"No, Lao Jin, I know I was sorry for you last time, but now Zhang Qin's illness is important, what else do you care about your personal face?"

"Don't say it, her disease can't be cured at all, you should know, who would want to donate money to an old patient who has no hope?"

"What then? You know I don't have any extra savings, or I'll go find someone to borrow it, and it should be fine to borrow 40,000 or 50,000 yuan. ”

"Humph! Forty or fifty thousand, four or five hundred thousand is not enough, I plan to sell the house, but there is still too much, you know, if I don't have a choice, I won't come to you. Jin Jian said and looked directly at Lao Mao, as if Lao Mao was his only savior.

"Then how do you want me to help, you can say it, as long as you don't ask me Mao Bowen to steal and rob, anything!"

"Really?" Jin Jian shrugged his eyebrows, and there was a hint of brilliance in his eyes, "I'll show you a few documents first." ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't rush to get the documents, but turned around and tightened the door, closed the open window, and then flipped out four pages from his bag, and at the same time glanced at Mao Bowen mysteriously, and then solemnly handed it over.

Mao Bowen didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Jin Jian's gourd, but looking at him seriously, it really didn't seem like a joke, and after reading these pages of documents, Lao Mao's heart jumped again, and the amplitude was even faster than before.

On the first page is a picture of a child: five or six years old, bareheaded, with a circle of black stone pendants hanging from his neck, very energetic. It was Qin Yi, Lao Mao remembered, that was when they first came out of Wuling Mountain, the local government said that they would let the child leave a photo so that the media could find the child's parents. The last few pages are written in English, and of course these English are difficult for Lao Mao, and it is written that the antique dealer in New York, the United States, intends to buy a pendant at a high price, the shape is exactly the same as the one on Xiao Qinyi's neck, and the price is one million, and the unit is dollars.

"Old Kim, where did you get this document?" Mao Bowen's face was expressionless.

"It was handed over to me by an old classmate in Beijing, didn't I go to Beijing some time ago to be in charge of a batch of cultural relics appraisal, this old classmate knows my relationship with you, so I ...... it"

"Lao Jin, let me tell you, there is still a problem with this document, I think it is completely fooling people, why is this stone worth so much money, don't you believe this? Now there are too many big liars. Lao Mao was decisively suspicious, but there was an inexplicable fear in his heart.

"Brother Wen, like you, I thought the same way at first, but they have already paid me 100,000 yuan for the contact fee, and said that no matter what the result is, this money will be all my introduction fee."

"Them?"

"Yes, the American JQZS Agency! One of the top 10 most famous scientific research institutions in the world. Calvin! Carvin is the majority shareholder. ”

Who is Carvin, of course Mao Bowen will not know that this person's full name is actually Carter. Vincent, a South American archaeologist and paleontologist, is a well-known billionaire. Because he is an American, but because he has been focusing on South America for many years, cross-border research, the industry jokingly calls him Kavin. In recent years, I have also heard that he is involved in military manufacturing, and he is simply a legend.

Jin Jian saw that Lao Mao was still hesitating, and hurriedly said: "Kavin! It was the same Kavin I met at the Beijing International Cultural Relics Exhibition ten years ago. Didn't you still write to communicate? Brother Wen, this is my family's Zhang Qin's last chance, if it can be done, I only need one-tenth, and it is considered that I Jin Jian borrowed it from you, how about it? ”

Mao Bowen didn't know how to refuse Jin Jian's aggressiveness.

"The stone this kid wears is very ordinary, I've seen it, it's nothing special, oh, it's just an ordinary magnet. That thing is not even a minimum cultural relic, we all believe in science, and we must not go to the ocean. ”

"Fooled? Is it us or them? Jin Jian laughed at himself: "I got 100,000 yuan for nothing, am I a fool!" ”

"Brother Wen, there are only two people I admire in this world, one is you, the other is her, for more than 30 years, she has always taken care of me before, and now I just want to do my best, even if it is to let her live for an extra year, or even an extra month."

Looking back on the past few decades, the relationship between Jin Jian and Zhang Qin is really good, not to mention any contradictions, even if they have a mouth, there are very few words, and the teachers and friends in the East and West compounds unanimously regard the two of them as a model couple. Zhang Qin encountered dystocia in October, adults and children can only protect one, the doctor consulted the two opinions, Jin Jian wanted to protect the adult, Zhang Qin insisted on keeping the child, and finally although the operation went smoothly, the mother and child were safe, but Zhang Qin's spirit of sacrificing herself for a daughter deeply touched everyone. Jin Jian is the backbone of the unit's scientific research team, and often has to stay up late to tackle key problems, Zhang Qin resolutely sacrificed his scientific dream in order to cooperate with his work and career, and applied for a logistics position, which solved his worries for Jin Jian to concentrate on his work; In the middle of the night, Jin Jian had an acute appendicitis attack, at that time the dormitory where they lived was not very far from the hospital, usually it took twenty minutes to walk, and there were few cars on the road, Zhang Qin carried him straight to the hospital alone, and carried Jin Jian to the hospital in less than 20 minutes. As a result, Jin Jian had timely appendix surgery, but Zhang Qin was so tired that he coughed up blood.

There are many such examples, Mao Bowen was also deeply moved when he heard him talk about it before, Jin Jian looked at Lao Mao, tears rolled in his eyes, Jin Jian rarely begged people, and rarely shed tears, but now in front of an old friend he knew, he was willing to let go of anything.

Mao Bowen is still pondering, he still believes Jin Jian's words in his heart, he and his wife have always trusted him over the years, and the relationship between the two families has always been very good, but this request is really difficult to agree. On the one hand, it is a close friend, and on the other hand, it is the entrustment of the people of Qin Village, no matter how you choose, it is destined to be painful.

The two were speechless.

Jin Jian's eyebrows were locked, and the corners of his mouth were tightly closed, so it mattered! Hearing only a "poof", he knelt down. The so-called man has gold under his knees, and now he is coming for "gold".

Mao Bowen hurriedly wanted to hold him, Jin Jian knelt resolutely, how could he pull it? But I really don't know how to persuade him.

"Lao Jin, listen to me, believe me, there must be a way, but the stone is a token of a child, and it is related to his life experience, and I have no right to do this?"

Jin Jian smiled miserably and stood up suddenly.

"Tokens? Didn't you say it was an ordinary stone? Even if it's a token, it's better than my Zhang Qin's illness now? Everyone else knows that things are urgent, but now you say that you have no rights, haha, haha, hahaha! ”

Jin Jian couldn't control himself: "You are so selfish, money is so important to you?" Fame, money, can't I just enjoy a little bit? You...... You're so ruthless! ”

At this time, he had already identified the person in front of him, a hypocrite and a hypocrite, a true villain! "Knock knock! Knock knock! There was a knock on the door, and his clenched fist was reluctantly lowered. Since it is hopeless, why bother to force others. He quickly stepped forward and snatched the information documents from Lao Mao's hand, straightened his clothes, and slammed the door.

As a result, Dr. Mao Bowen couldn't stand still and sat down in panic.

This is exactly what it is:

Bocai Jinshi young man, twenty years of ups and downs.

In spring, the fragrance of singing is appreciated, and the fragrance of autumn is not alone.

The lonely bird finally flew away, and the autumn water lasted for a long time.

The sun and the moon are at the end of the day, and the white and black are from now on short and long.
