Chapter 1013:
He did not die at the hands of the enemy, nor did he die on the battlefield. Instead, he died at the hands of the disease. This is definitely a torture for a person who has made brilliant achievements. It is an unprecedented torture both in the will and in the spirit.
Old Man Pang still did not choose to succumb to the disease, he gave up all kinds of treatments and lay in the hospital, he didn't want to die a pitiful, innocent, and humble death like everyone else. Faced with a terminal illness, he chose to fight to the end. He was determined to face the beast with his iron will. Even if the mantis arm is a car, it will die without regrets.
"Have you really decided?" Ye Chen turned to look at Old Man Pang.
"Hmm!" he nodded, then said, "Sometimes, I want to ask myself if I'm really not afraid of death. But sometimes, I often wake up in my dreams because I am afraid of death. ”
"Everyone will die, it's just a matter of time!" Ye Chen laughed and said, "Old man, if I can live to your age, I will be satisfied!"
"You stinky boy, are you comforting me, or are you hurting me?" The old man glared at Ye Chen angrily, and continued: "The world in the future belongs to you young people, and there is only so much I can help you do." Ye Chen, I have to tell you that having rights is a very peaceful thing. Not everyone is a bad person. Power is like a weapon, in the hands of good people, the weapon is right, and in the hands of bad people, the weapon is wrong. ”
"I understand!" Ye Chen nodded and said, "Then aren't you afraid that this weapon will become a mistake in my hands?"
"No!" Old Man Pang shook his head and said, "I don't have any skills in my life, and my skills in recognizing people are still relatively good." At least very few of the people I promoted made mistakes. I believe you. It's as if I believed in your father Ye Hai!"
"Old man, don't worry, I will definitely be like my father, be a useful person, and be a harmless person to the country!" Ye Chen stood beside Old Man Pang's bed, and then gently covered him with a quilt. The old man grabbed Ye Chen's hand tightly with his dry hands, gritted his teeth and said, "If you dare to do anything that is not good for the country, I will not let you go!"
"Don't worry!" Ye Chen nodded solemnly, and then patted Old Man Pang's hand gently. "Even if I'm useless, I will definitely not harm the country." ”
"That's good, that's good!" Old Man Pang nodded and slowly fell asleep. The action just now had exhausted his strength, lung cancer was in an advanced stage, and he was originally going to rely on oxygen to spend the rest of his life, but Old Man Pang was unwilling, he would rather rely on himself.
Ye Chen turned to leave, and Chairman Liu and the others stood at the door.
"Chairman, Vice Chairman Chen......" Ye Chen immediately saluted. As a former soldier, he still maintains some of the style of a soldier.
"Well, how do you decide Old Man Pang's opinion?" Chairman Liu looked at Ye Chen seriously.
"I am willing to follow the old man's will!" Ye Chen nodded.
"That's good!" Chairman Liu smiled with satisfaction, and said, "The appointment will be issued in a while, and I hope you can serve the country well." Although you are the patriarch of the Ross family, you must never forget that you are more of a Chinese. ”
"Yes!" Ye Chen snapped and saluted.
After leaving the hospital, Ye Chen has been thinking about a question, why do people give birth, and why do they die if they are born. Is it true that man was born into this world to suffer sin? Is it really at this time to receive God's punishment? Birth, old age, sickness and death seem to be the unchangeable code of this world, everyone knows that some things are not so easy to change, everyone knows that some people's fate is doomed.
Ye Chen refused to be escorted by two bodyguards, but walked leisurely here alone. The environment here is very good, green mountains and clear waters, and there are few such places in Beijing. In particular, the transportation here is relatively convenient. It took Ye Chen more than half an hour to walk out.
Beijing is a beautiful city, but unfortunately this city is full of gloom. Ye Chen looked at the air in the urban area, it was overcast, and he couldn't see the scenery in the distance at all. People come and go, and many people are wearing masks. Ye Chen sighed and said, "Capital, the pain in the hearts of the people, right?"
If a country can't even meet the air quality of a capital, and even the air quality of a capital can't meet the standard, how can it restrain other cities?
Ye Chen left here with some kind of indescribable mood, and then walked towards the city. Walk through the bustling street and walk past the beautiful and once sensational Water Cube. A few years ago, the Olympic Games were a sensation and made many countries look at China with admiration, and they could not imagine how a city that they had always thought was weak and could not even build a subway could hold a world feast so grandiose and powerful. This is incomprehensible to many people who complain about China.
They don't know that this once weak country has stood up and has completely risen to strength.
"Look, Mom, there's a big bird flying in the sky!" said an innocent little girl, pointing to a kite in the sky.
"No, it's not a bird, it's a kite!" the child's mother corrected her mistake and said, "Baby, that's a kite, you know? Birds are free-flying animals, and their lives are full of challenges and happiness." But the kite is in the hands of man, very different from the bird, once the kite loses the control of man, then it will fall from the vast sky. ”
"Mom, why?" the little girl asked curiously.
"Because the string of the kite is in the hands of people, but the bird does not have this thread to rely on!" explained the child's mother with a smile: "Once the kite breaks the string, it will fall from the air like a headless fly, but the bird is not bound by anyone between heaven and earth!"
"Oh!" the little girl nodded incomprehensibly, and she hurriedly said, "Mother, should that man be like a bird or like a kite?"
"This is not a personal choice!" the girl's mother smiled and said, "Anyway, everyone has their own life. Some people live like birds, some people live like kites, you know?"
"Oh, I don't understand!" The girl shook her head, what a girl she is, what she said earlier is already very unexpected by Ye Chen, if she can understand the words of the child's mother, it will be very remarkable, it is estimated that Ye Chen will rush up and hug the little girl to study it.
Watching the mother and daughter full of 'philosophical' elements slowly leave, Ye Chen began to think about a question left after their discussion. The girl's mother said that some people live as freely as birds, while others are bound like kites. Ye Chen seemed to have a sudden realization, this girl's mother broke the heavens with a word, some people are born with the life of birds, and some people are born with the life of kites.
Some people's fate is in the hands of others, while others' fate is in their own hands. The fate of the red-clothed sect leader and the white-clothed sect leader is indeed in the hands of the Holy See, if according to the conclusion of the woman just now, whether it is the red-clothed sect leader or the white-clothed sect leader, their fate definitely belongs to the kite type. As for yourself, it should belong to the Asuka type, right?
No matter what it is, you can't bind your freedom. As long as you want something, you must get it. Thinking of this, Ye Chen suddenly became a little confused. Is his fate really a bird that flies freely? Why can't you decide so many things?
Thinking about it, Ye Chen finally understood that the Holy See was his biggest constraint. Whether it is the revenge of killing his father or the pursuit of himself by the Holy See, Ye Chen has always been involuntarily. Ye Chen was a little annoyed. Still, he behaved calmly. Ye Chen began to analyze his future. Will the ultimate fate of the flying bird fall from the sky, and what will happen if the bird falls like a kite?
"Virgin, you've been talking about it for so long, does Brother Ye still remember us?" Walking in an alley not far away, one was carrying a satchel and a large SLR hanging on his chest. He also held a buckwheat steamed bun in his hand. Duoduo and Virgin have grown up unconsciously, and after graduating from school, they joined the journalism industry. Although they are still intern journalists, they still use their own efforts to make ends meet.
As an intern reporter, the two little girls are still working hard at present. Every day you need to run around. In a hellish place like Beijing, the salary is pitiful, but the rent is expensive, and if it weren't for the fact that they had some income in other places, they would have starved to death. Relying on the salary of 2,000 yuan a month for intern reporters, it is estimated that they have been begging on the street for a long time.
Although life is relatively poor, they have never forgotten Ye Chen. Not even the 100,000 yuan that Ye Chen had left behind at the beginning had not touched a single cent. This is unprecedented in today's society. The two little girls know that every penny is hard-won. The 100,000 yuan must be returned to Ye Chen.
Even if they saw the clothes they liked very much, they would not use the money in Ye Chen's card.
Virgin also held two buckwheat steamed buns, then took a leisurely bite and said, "Who knows, maybe Ye Chen has already forgotten about us." We are just passers-by in his life. It's like two non-parallel lines, in a lifetime, with only one point of intersection. ”
"Huh?" Duoduo, the innocent silly girl, was obviously a little disappointed, she glanced at Virgin, and then said, "Impossible. I recently read a book on psychology that says that a man must have had a relationship with a woman, and then the man will remember this woman in his bones. Brother Ye will definitely not forget us so easily!"
