50. I'm still the same choice
Jiang Xinxin looked at the man in front of him who seemed to be about the same age as herself, and then looked at Tang Tiantian and Xiao Xiaolin's reactions.
Jiang Xinxin suddenly realized that the person in front of him was very likely to be the one, the youngest academician of the legendary Dragon Kingdom.
"It's just a name."
Lin Fan waved his hand.
"That's... Can I take a group photo? ”
Jiang Xinxin asked cautiously, after all, such a big guy is too far away for her, an ordinary college student.
This kind of photo opportunity is rare.
"Yes."
Just as Jiang Xin rushed over, Lin Fan added another sentence.
"But you can't upload it to the platform, and you can't share it with others."
"Is it going to be a secret?"
"Pretty much."
Lin Fan nodded, he didn't want to expose his appearance to the public for the time being.
Although the group of people on the commercial vehicle repeatedly emphasized to him the complexity of the environment in the Dragon Country now.
But Lin Fan felt that those people should not have found out about him so quickly.
"Are you here to shop?"
When the photo was taken, Jiang Xinxin was a little curious and looked at the family of three in front of her.
"We're here for you."
"Huh?"
Jiang Xinxin's face showed a blank look.
"Do you remember the program team?"
"You're not talking about that reality show, are you?"
"Or else?" Lin Fan smiled, "I'm sorry, there was a delay in the middle, and we were half an hour late." ”
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Jiang Xinxin waved her hand again and again, and then sat down slowly. It's just that the expression on her face looks a little strange.
It seems that they haven't figured out why Lin Fan and them came.
"You've been chosen.
Don't rush to ask questions just yet, wait until I'm done. ”
As soon as Lin Fan spoke, Jiang Xinxin seemed to have a question to ask. Lin Fan made a virtual motion, signaling her not to be in such a hurry.
"Reality TV is a gimmick to get you to come.
The only real information is the leg that fits better.
Presumably you should know that in the overwhelming publicity in the past two days, the one developed by Eagle Sauce is a robotic arm controlled by brainwaves, right? ”
Jiang Xinxin cast her gaze, and then nodded slowly.
This was originally news in the field of technology, but I don't know why the popularity is so high. Many media outlets have reported on it, and even made a series of special features one after another.
In this short period of time, the flow carried by this mechanical arm has almost crushed all existence.
This phenomenon has led to the fact that almost no one knows about the robotic arm now.
Even if you find an uncle or aunt, you can tell you two paragraphs.
"We have one too.
It happened to be the right leg, which happened to be a little better than theirs, and it happened that you were chosen.
It's free, and it's guaranteed to be better than yours. ”
Jiang Xinxin heard this, his eyes were first incredulous, then uncontrollable excitement, and finally tears in his eyes.
"Don't get excited, put away your tears."
Lin Fan casually handed over the wrapping paper.
Jiang Xinxin was born in a mountain village in the southwest of the Dragon Kingdom.
When you were 12 years old, you were the first to be pulled out of the rubble when you were crushed under the school building because of an earthquake, and there were several students buried in the rubble.
But you're in the way of the only passage.
Limited to the poor conditions at the time, and the race against time to rescue more people.
With your consent, an amputation was performed on the spot, and the right leg that was crushed was amputated.
There is no anesthesia.
Later, because of your decision, only one of the few who were dragged out of the rubble lost his life due to his injuries. ”
Jiang Xinxin pursed her lips and did not speak.
What Lin Fan didn't say was that these people used to be her classmates, and what she didn't say was that after the earthquake, she never saw these people again.
She didn't think about letting these people compensate her for anything. But Jiang Xinxin never heard a word of thank you from beginning to end.
And during that difficult time, only her mother was with her.
"I want to ask you a question."
Lin Fan quietly looked at Jiang Xinxin in front of him, after the amputation, Jiang Xinxin experienced a two-year recovery period.
After all, amputation was performed on the spot without anesthesia. Jiang Xinxin's pain is not only physical, but also psychological.
And for Jiang Xinxin, what is even more cruel is that the dancing shoes she used to love to wear were almost forever away from her on that day.
The prosthetic leg that Jiang Xinxin is wearing now can only ensure her normal life, and it is impossible to support her for strenuous exercise.
"What's the problem?"
"If you were given the opportunity to choose again, what would you do that day?"
Jiang Xinxin fell silent for a while.
This is a question she has asked herself countless times in the past years.
Want legs? Or do you want to die?
Jiang Xinxin slowly closed her eyes, and her nose seemed to smell the smell of rust again, mixed with the smell of dust and sweat.
I also seem to hear the cacophony in my ears.
In front of and behind her, several pairs of hands and several pairs of eyes were waiting for her answer.
Want to save your legs? Or do you want to save your life?
"Squad leader, this is almost gone!"
"You! Now get down to the wound for me! All ten fingers are covered in blood! Don't you know? ”
"Hurry, squad leader!
Besides, aren't you too?
Let me save one more!
Just one! ”
"Watch out for aftershocks!"
"Watch out for that wall! It's going to collapse! ”
To this day, Jiang Xinxin can still feel the feeling of the world spinning. It was as if the earthquake that shocked the entire Dragon Kingdom and the whole world was just yesterday and had never left her.
Lin Fan silently looked at Jiang Xinxin in front of him, he needed an answer.
"I'm still the same choice."
Jiang Xinxin's answer seemed to drain her strength, and the whole person slumped in the chair, revealing a sadness in her eyes. Her gaze tried to look into the distance, and it seemed that only the blue sky above her could give a little comfort.
"I need to warn you.
The fitting of this prosthetic limb is no less painful than your day. ”
"Can you get me running and jumping again?"
"It can be done better."
"How much better than the one abroad?"
Jiang Xinxin cleaned up her emotions and turned her gaze back to Lin Fan beside her.
"Let me tell you, the new mechanical leg can do the same thing as your existing left leg.
There's so much more you can do as you get used to its features.
What you are looking forward to, what you missed, there is still a chance to continue. ”
