Chapter 4: Departure
"What?" Shi Lei stood up violently, his face equally incredulous. What happened at night only frightened him a little, and he wondered about the weirdness of the dream.
But now he is completely confused, his parents have also experienced it, this is not a coincidence, things are really full of an unknown force.
Shi Shan's deep voice sounded slowly.
"Stone, do you know why you were named a single word Lei? That's because three stones become a mountain, and your mother and I always thought that you were given to us by the mountain god of Mount Tai. “
"Taishan?" Shi Lei sat down again, and even greater doubts rose in his heart.
"Yes, Tarzan. When your mother and I were young, we got married, but we never had children, and medicine was not as advanced as it is now. So after a few years we were all disheartened and had no hope. Later, in order to relieve the pain in my heart, your mother and I went to climb Mount Tai. “
"Dad, you won't say that you will have me after you go to climb Mount Tai once. “
"As ridiculous as it sounds, it's true. Your mother and I both prefer the primitive style, so we asked the local old mountain people for a way up from the back mountain. Few people know about this road, but the scenery along the way is beautiful. “
As if thinking of something, Shi Shan's tone paused, and then he spoke, "But we got lost, and then somehow, your mother and I came across a cave. “
Shi Lei knew that the key part was coming, and listened attentively to the following, and even his nerves were tense.
"Since it was too dark to see the mountain road, your mother and I decided to pitch a tent in the cave for the night. However, I don't know what's going on.,I can't help but have a relationship.。 When we fell asleep, we had the same dreams as you. “
After saying this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and Shi Lei also breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that his origin was so magical for the first time, just like listening to a mythical story.
"Did you hear any sounds in the hall in the dream?" Shi Lei thought of something and asked casually.
But what he didn't expect was that his father nodded slightly.
"Yes, give you the blood of today, and return to this place one day in the future, remember. “
Shi Lei's head was confused for a while after hearing this, and things became more and more outrageous. If it weren't for his father, he would have thought he was joking, and kept muttering those words.
After a moment of silence, Shi Shan's voice began to sound again, "Not long after coming down the mountain, your mother turned out to be really pregnant, we thought it was the manifestation of the mountain god, and we didn't think too superstitious about anything else, but listening to what you just said, there is really a force that science can't explain there, and it is also in you." “
Shi Lei also nodded in agreement, "Dad, there was a voice talking to me in my dream last night, which scared me awake." “
When he said the words in the dream word by word, his father's already crooked face was even more distorted because of excitement, and even his voice was much louder than usual, "Stone, in the past, my father didn't want to be superstitious and negligent, now you must go back there as soon as possible, no matter what happens, you should repay the favor." “
"Okay, I'll arrange for you to go to the provincial capital for treatment in a few days, and I'll go by the way when I have time. “
After speaking, Shi Lei got up and cleaned up and took care of it for a while, and went out to buy something to cook and eat.
Outside, it was already bright and the sun was fully out. At this moment, while he was receiving and walking, he was still thinking about the words just now, and his heart was still in disbelief.
For him, who has received a scientific education since he was a child, looking at everything and people around him, it seems that he has begun to have a sense of unreality.
"Whether it's so mysterious or not, I'll find out when I get there. Shi Lei thought so, and suddenly the whole person was much more relaxed.
For the next few days, Yuxin never appeared again. Shi Lei is still busy delivering takeaways, constantly taking more time out of the middle, taking care of his father, and also applying to the company for a takeaway job transferred to the provincial capital. Of course, I also contacted the hospital by the way, and there was a bus to the provincial capital that could put down the reclining chairs.
"Yuxin, tomorrow morning, I will go to the provincial capital with my dad. If you see Lin Tong and say thank you to him for me, I will remember this kindness and I will definitely return it in the future. “
Yu Xin's eyes on the other end of the phone suddenly turned red, but she still pretended to be calm and asked, "What time do you leave?"
Shi Lei thought about it and replied, "It's about nine o'clock in the morning." “
After speaking, there was a "beep" hang-up sound on the other end of the phone. He sighed deeply, put away his phone, and swayed home under the dim street lamp.
When he slept at night, he appeared in the hall again, Shi Lei didn't do anything, just sat quietly in the middle, waiting for the dawn to come.
As soon as dawn came, he had already woken up and began to tidy up the whole house, sorting out the things that should be taken away, one by one, leaving this time I don't know when I will come back, and I may never come back.
The bus had arrived at eight o'clock, and when he had moved everything up, Shishan was also lying firmly on the sleeping chair on the car, but it was only half past eight.
"Little brother, it's all packed, let's go. “
Master Liu, the black driver in the cab, walked over, showed his mouth full of yellow teeth, and handed over a cigarette.
Shi Lei shook his head, "Thank you, big brother, I don't smoke, it's not very good today, so let's leave early." “
As he spoke, he glanced at the intersection not far away, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and walked firmly into the car in an instant.
The roar of the engine sounded, and the bus started slowly.
"Little brother, let's see if there's a woman chasing us in the back. “
Master Liu glanced at the mirror and made a surprised sound.
Shi Lei's eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened and looked at the mirror, and clearly saw the familiar shadow.
"Master Liu, stop. “
With a "whoosh", the bus made a mark on the road and stopped steadily.
Shi Lei hurriedly opened the car door and jumped in.
"Shi Lei, you bastard, you knew that I would come over, but you didn't wait for me. Yu Xin ran over panting, holding her knees with her hands, with an angry face.
"Yuxin, why are you bothering. Shi Lei showed doting eyes and unconsciously stretched out his hand, but halfway through, he reacted and stopped in mid-air.
Yu Xin pouted, snorted vigorously, straightened up, took the initiative to put her slightly sweaty and red face into the palm of the big hand, and looked at the figure in front of her with teary eyes.
"Stone, you remember what I said, and I will wait for you. If you don't come back to me, then I'm going to look for you at all costs. My uncle's business is also my business, and I also have the responsibility to take care of him. “
Shi Lei's whole person was softened, and his eyes were moist instantly, "Yuxin, I can't give you any promises, why should you be like this." If my dad's condition improves and he recovers, I won't let you go, no matter how much your parents object. However".
"No, however, Uncle will definitely be fine. Even if my uncle keeps doing this, you are not allowed to carry everything on yourself, and you are not allowed to give up on me. “
Yu Xin grinned, pretending to be a fierce threat, but the choked voice seemed to have no momentum.
In the face of a girl who is so affectionate, no matter how hard-hearted people will be soft-hearted, Shi Lei is no exception, but the environment in which he grew up and the character he formed made him unable to make a promise, so he stepped forward and gave a hug gently.
"Yuxin, I'm leaving, take good care of yourself. “
After that, he turned to leave, and the figure disappeared into the car, and the roar of the car engine sounded again.
Only this time, not far behind, there was a beautiful girl, crying silently.
In order to take care of the patients in the car, Master Liu did not drive fast, but he still came to the First People's Hospital of JN City at three o'clock in the afternoon.
The staff who had been contacted in advance stood at the door for a long time, and arranged for Shishan to be admitted to the hospital from the car as soon as possible, and carried out preliminary diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
And Shi Lei stood outside the corridor, anxiously waiting, this very famous hospital in the province, gave a different test and diagnosis report.
Less than an hour has passed, and the doctors have come out one after another.
"Doctor, how is my dad?"
An older doctor, looking at Shi Lei with an expectant face, still shook his head honestly, his tone was full of helplessness.
"The situation is not optimistic, severe paralysis below the head, moderate paralysis above the head, only subtle facial expressions and head writhing reactions, it is difficult to return to a state where you can live independently. “
Hearing the diagnosis report similar to that of the previous hospital, Shi Lei sat back in a chair in disappointment, burying his head deep in his knees.
"But don't lose faith just yet, we can put you in touch with the best experts at home and abroad for a simple video consultation, plus other miracles that may occur, so it's not completely hopeless. “
Only then did Shi Lei raise his head, and his eyes lit up again.
"Doctor, how much hope is there?"
The doctor shook his head, "We don't dare to promise you this, but there have been cases of people like your dad returning to normal life all over the world, and there is more than one. “
Shi Lei stood up and bowed deeply, "I'm sorry for you, doctor, there are more cutting-edge and high-end drugs or technologies, you can try them on my father, and I will find a way to make money." “
The doctor nodded, "Okay, then transfer him to the general ward in the next few days, where someone will take care of him regularly." Wait for a few days to complete the video consultation, and if you have a countermeasure, let's talk about it. “
Let's say, I left sideways, and a patient was slowly pushed out of the ward, and with my eyes open, it was Shi Shan.
In the ordinary ward, Shi Lei began to give his father a full-body muscle massage, although there is already someone in the hospital who can replace him, but as long as he is by his father's side, he is still willing to do it himself.
"Stone, when are you going to Tarzan? Ever since you told me yesterday morning, I've been feeling guilty and uneasy. “
Shi Lei shook his arm that was a little sore, "Let's wait a few days, wait for the consultation of the hospital experts here." “
Shi Shan's eyes widened, and his tone became serious, "No, you can't help here these days, besides, it's already very close to Mount Tai, and it won't take long for you to go back and forth." “
Shi Lei didn't know why he suddenly attached so much importance to this now, and now he still felt extremely ridiculous when he thought about it, so he nodded helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll pack up at night and leave early tomorrow morning, isn't it okay?"
Shi Shan's tone softened at this time, "Then you will print a panorama of the Taishan Mountains later, I still remember the road into the mountain a little, and draw it for you, so as not to delay you when you go in." “
Shi Lei nodded and continued to massage the muscles in his hands.
