Chen Junxian was desperate, really desperate.

Just yesterday afternoon, when he went to the hospital for a physical examination, he was found to be terminally ill, a real terminal illness.

The scientific name is motor neuron disease.

Many people may not know what is wrong with this name.

He didn't understand it at first, until he heard the words "ALS" from the doctor's mouth, and he realized what kind of horrible illness it was.

It is one of the world's five major terminal diseases, and there is no cure at the current level of medicine.

In severe cases, it can kill a person within a year.

Even if it is not so serious and properly controlled, it will eventually become the same as when Mr. Hawking was alive.

For the first time in his despair, Chen Junxian believed in superstition so much.

So, early this morning, he came to the nearest Sanqingguan near his rental house alone.

I want to ask the Sanqing patriarch to bless this is a misdiagnosis.

Now he had just come out of his most devout prayer.

Just walked outside the Taoist temple.

Chen Junxian was stopped by a little old man in a shabby robe, "Little friend, do you want to take a hexagram?" ”

Chen Junxian is terminally ill, how can he still be in the mood to listen to fortune telling, and this old Taoist priest looks like a charlatan.

He said casually: "I only have five yuan in my pocket, and I'm not very easy to fool, even if you try your best to cheat me out of five yuan in my pocket, it is estimated that it will be enough for you to buy a bottle of mineral water around here." ”

Normally, if you encounter a hooligan like Chen Junxian, I'm afraid you will have already turned around and left.

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest not only didn't leave, but on the contrary, he also said something that shocked Chen Junxian's body, "The Adidas you are wearing is fake!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Junxian immediately had a feeling of bowing and worshipping.

A master is a master, and he even knows that Adadisi is a knockoff of Adidas.

He bought this dress from his mother at a vegetable market stall, thirty yuan.

Usually Chen Junxian is "reluctant" to wear it, but now all the clothes have been washed, and there is really no way to wear them.

After the old Taoist priest said this, Chen Junxian felt that the five yuan in his pocket he just said couldn't be saved.

But to Chen Junxian's surprise, this old Taoist priest was actually a bit really talented.

The old Taoist priest stared at him for a while, and then said categorically: "You are sick!" ”

Chen Junxian didn't react at first, and immediately retorted: "You are sick!" Your whole family has ...... Uh, I'm really sick, how do you know? ”

The old Taoist priest smiled slightly, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, do you want to know the way to crack it?" ”

Chen Junxian heard that he was saved, how could he have any sense, and humbly asked for advice: "Do you have a rut? ”

The old Taoist priest didn't say a word, and took out a tattered wooden ring and a small porcelain vase from his trouser pocket, "Chenghui, thirty." ”

Chen Junxian was stunned, "Didn't I just say that I only had five yuan in my pocket?" ”

A shocking scene happened, the old Taoist priest took out his mobile phone and skillfully opened the WeChat QR code for receiving money, "I support online payment." ”

Chen Junxian: "......"

In normal times, he would definitely not be the wronged leader.

But he was really desperate, so he had to hold on to the idea of believing in it, and after hesitating, WeChat paid.

Chen Junxian took the small porcelain vase and wooden ring and asked, "How to take it?" ”

"Oh, one pill a day, before bed." The old Taoist priest was about to leave after speaking.

Chen Junxian nodded slightly, hurriedly grabbed the other party, and wondered, "What is the function of this wooden ring?" ”

"Look at my memory." The old Taoist priest patted his head and pointed to the cork of the small porcelain bottle, "This cork is not easy to pull out, do you see a button next to the wooden ring?" ”

Chen Junxian took a closer look, and it was really, "Hmm." ”

The old Taoist priest stretched out his hand and pressed it, and a slender needle on the wooden ring popped out, "You can pull it out by inserting this needle into the cork, okay, I'll leave if there's nothing to do." ”

Chen Junxian almost fainted, at first he thought that this wooden ring had some special effect, and it was a bottle opener?

After that, the old Taoist priest ran away as soon as he slipped away, as if he was afraid that Chen Junxian would ask him for thirty yuan back.

Chen Junxian vaguely felt that he had been deceived.

But now it's too late to catch up, and the old Taoist priest has rushed to the bus.

"Why don't you tell me how to break this needle back and then go." Chen Junxian couldn't laugh or cry a little.

He tried to press the button again, but to no avail.

After thinking about it, he grabbed the tip of the needle and pressed it down.

This time it worked.

"Ouch!"

Chen Junxian accidentally pricked his finger with a needle.

He hurriedly put it in his mouth and sucked it, and cursed in his mouth: "People who are unlucky get up and drink water and stuff their teeth, not to mention that they are terminally ill, and they are pricked and wiped by needles." ”

Somewhat distraught, he just pressed the needle back and took the car back to the rental house.

……

Back to the rental house.

This is a share house.

The master bedroom next door lives in the second landlord.

A woman, who is very beautiful, petite and exquisite, looks very pure, is called Shen Xia.

At the beginning, when Chen Junxian rented a single room for 100 yuan higher than the market price, he was indeed affected by this woman's beauty, and he also had dirty thoughts.

For example, in some films in the island country, the female neighbor who gets up in the morning to take out the garbage......

Ahem, let's get down to business.

The main reason why Chen Junxian didn't have too many ideas later was that this woman was very strong.

For example, carrying a 50-kilogram gas barrel on one hand goes up to the third floor without panting.

I forgot to mention that he rents an old community, there are no gas pipelines and elevators, and the doorman is also an old man.

There is another incident, Chen Junxian and his friends came back from supper, and saw two drunk people about 1.8 meters molesting Shen Xia at the gate of the community.

He was wondering if he should go up and help.

As a result, Shen Xia brushed two or three times and knocked the two strong men down and called her aunt and grandmother.

Since then, Chen Junxian has stayed away from Shen Xia.

He didn't want to be beaten into a pig's head without tasting it.

Besides, he has been avoiding Shen Xia, the second landlord, recently.

There is no other reason, it is that there is not enough money in the pocket to pay the rent, and there are still a few days before the parents give living expenses.

Chen Junxian is a fresh graduate who has not yet found a job, of course, he has no financial resources, so he can only rely on his parents.

But I'm afraid of what's coming.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Shen Xia sitting on the living room table drinking porridge!

"Yo, you're finally willing to show up?" Shen Xia, who was wearing a white sportswear and combing her meticulous bob head, looked at it with a smile.

Chen Junxian secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't expect to be caught by her, so he had to pretend to be confused: "Cough, what, haven't I been busy these two days, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Shen Xia put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a tissue, stretched out her hand and said: "Don't pretend to be garlic, the rent is eight hundred, the water and electricity bills are said to be evenly shared, I paid a total of two hundred and sixteen yuan, you should give me one hundred and eight, don't say that I don't take care of you, I will wipe it for you, you can give me a total of nine hundred." ”

She's pretty good at mental arithmetic.

Chen Junxian smiled bitterly: "Can you give a few more days?" I've been a little tight on money for the past two days, and I'll give it to you when I have the money. ”

Shen Xia was not close to anyone at all, "Wait for you to have money?" When? No way! You have to give me the money today or you'll move out!" ”

This is not the first time Chen Junxian has faced this situation, and he has already had a wealth of experience.

He showed a pitiful expression, and said sympathetically: "I originally had money for you, but I went to the hospital to check my body and spent it, and it was found out to be a terminal illness, and now I don't even have money for food, so you can give me a few days." ”

Shen Xia didn't believe him at all, and sneered: "Even your small body is still worthy of a terminal illness?" And you want to trick me into sympathizing with you? ”

Chen Junxian sighed and said, "I really didn't lie to you this time. ”

Shen Xia was stunned, frowned, and said, "What terminal illness?" Will it suddenly die in the house? ”

Chen Junxian is rolling his eyes, your sister, are you looking forward to your buddy's violent death?

He was speechless and said: "I won't die violently, don't worry, I suffer from motor neuron disease, and the cycle is very long." ”

"Really?" Shen Xia was still skeptical.

Chen Junxian nodded seriously, "Really, I didn't lie to you." ”

Shen Xia seemed to sympathize with Chen Junxian again, didn't say anything more, waved her hand, and motioned for him to enter the house.

Chen Junxian entered his private room.

Unexpectedly, it didn't arrive a minute later, and the door was knocked directly.

When I opened the door, I saw Shen Xia's face that was so pure that it could only be described exquisitely.

Chen Junxian thought that she was here to ask for rent and utility bills again, so she said carefully: "Sister Shen, I really didn't ......"

Shen Xia was holding her mobile phone with a QR code on it.

She was a little impatient and said: "This is a friend of my dad who is a doctor in Beijing, and he happens to have some experience in the treatment of ALS, you can add him to chat on WeChat, I have said hello, and the cost should not be more expensive than ordinary tertiary hospitals." ”

Chen Junxian didn't expect her to be so good, and hurriedly said, "Thank you." ”

Then he took out his mobile phone to scan the code and add that WeChat.

Shen Xia turned around and went back to the table to drink porridge, and said in her mouth, "If you don't have breakfast, there is still some porridge in the pot, and you can serve it yourself." ”

Chen Junxian said no, and closed the door.

His heart is warm, and the truth is seen in adversity.

Although he didn't think that Shen Xia, who rented a house in the old community, could know any famous doctors.

But if people are willing to take the initiative to recommend and say hello, it means that this person is really good.

For the first time, Chen Junxian knew that Shen Xia had such a friendly side in addition to being sometimes overflowing with sympathy.

If she hadn't been terminally ill, she might really want to chase her.

The thought of a terminal illness.

Chen Junxian was weak again, he lay back on the bed, feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and wanted to sleep for a while.

"By the way, don't care if the medicine given by the old Taoist priest is true or not, take it first and then talk about it, no matter how bad the situation is, it can't be worse than me, right?"

Chen Junxian thought about it, took out the wooden ring, popped out the thin needle, and was just about to tie the cork, he was a little surprised to find that the thin needle on the ring was actually rusty!

It was still cold just now!

"I'm special, this old Taoist priest is definitely a liar!"

Chen Junxian hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to take the medicine that the old Taoist priest sold to him for thirty yuan.

Still, he uncorked the bottle and poured out a pill.

It's pitch black, it's a very small one, a bit like a six-flavor rehmannia pill.

Chen Junxian observed for a while, sniffed it again, and felt that it should not be some poison, so he tried to lick it.

Then he cursed very categorically: ", it's the Liuwei Dihuang Pill, Nima, the old liar!" ”

He was so angry that he threw the pill directly into the bottle, corked it back again, and put it in his trouser pocket, ready to throw it away when he went downstairs.

I don't know if I was angry with the old liar, or if I knew that I was physically and mentally exhausted after suffering from a terminal illness.

Chen Junxian lay on the bed and soon fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, but he felt a little hot all over.

Then it was as if he had a dream, a very strange dream.
