Leaving the hospital office, Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang were in a heavy mood, and all that echoed in their ears were the words that the doctor had just said.

Thinking of the appearance of Gu Changjun in front of him, Song Yuanchao's heart was very uncomfortable.

Before they entered the ward, Gu Changjun was sleeping on the partition, it was a little strange at the time, but now I understand that Gu Changjun didn't want to lie down to sleep, because of the condition, he couldn't sleep lying down at all, and he couldn't breathe when he lay down, and he would cough violently, and he could only be relieved by lying on his stomach.

And it is not good to sleep like this at all, and it is already a very luxury for Gu Changjun to be able to sleep intermittently for two or three hours a day, especially with the gradual aggravation of his condition, the situation is getting more and more serious.

It has been almost a month since his illness broke out, and due to the torture of the disease, Gu Changjun's whole person has lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, coupled with the side effects of the treatment medication, which makes it difficult for this man who has always been very strong to bear.

Before Song Yuanchao came, he also thought that if the medical conditions here were not good, he planned to find a relationship to send Gu Changjun to Yanjing or Huhai for treatment, after all, these two cities have the best hospitals and doctors in the country, and they are much stronger than mountain cities in this regard.

】

But now the facts tell Song Yuanchao that even if he sends Gu Changjun to the best hospital in the world, it will be useless to invite the best doctors and use the best medicine, because the attending physician told them that Gu Changjun's illness has reached an advanced stage, and from a medical point of view, there is no cure, at most, it is to try to alleviate his pain and let him stay up for a few more days to spend this last time.

As soon as he thought of this, Song Yuanchao's heart felt as uncomfortable as a needle prick, and when he returned to this era, it was the first time he experienced the separation of life and death between people.

Although this kind of thing has been experienced countless times for Song Yuanchao in the previous life, this time it is different, maybe it is a difference in mood.

Lu Bao just subconsciously took out a cigarette from his pocket, and just when he got up, he remembered that this was a hospital.

Song Yuanchao stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and the two went downstairs, went out of the hospital building and came to the side, each lit a cigarette, and smoked with his head down.

"How so?" Lu Baogang asked, he was not asking Song Yuanchao but asking himself, and he was also asking about his fate in the dark.

Lu Baogang's eyes were moist for a while, he raised his hand and wiped it with his sleeve, and asked Song Yuanchao in a somewhat choked voice: "Song Dong, there is still a way to cure Secretary Gu's illness, right?" ”

Song Yuanchao did not speak, silent, which made Lu Baogang's last remaining hope shattered. He was a big man, an old man in his fifties, and suddenly squatted down, holding his head in his hands and crying silently.

Song Yuanchao raised his hand, as if he wanted to comfort him for a few words, but in the end he put down his raised hand, because he felt uncomfortable at this time.

Lu Baogang cried for a while, raised his hand to wipe the tears on his face, got up and said to Song Yuanchao: "Let you see the smile, I have been an old friend with Secretary Gu for many years, I didn't expect him to encounter this matter, I really ...... in my heart." ”

"I understand." Song Yuanchao nodded, and sighed: "Go wash your face, it's not good for us to go up and be seen by Secretary Gu later." ”

"You wait for me." Lu Bao had just cried and was now in a much calmer mood, he said this to Song Yuanchao and walked quickly to the side, and after a while, Lu Baogang, who had washed his face, looked fine, and re-entered the inpatient building with Song Yuanchao.

Returning to Gu Changjun's ward again, the nurse had already left, but there was still a hanging bottle hanging next to the bed, and the unknown yellow liquid in it slowly flowed into Gu Changjun's body through the tube.

Maybe it was because he saw Song Yuanchao and them just now, Gu Changjun should have asked the nurse to help wash his face, and he looked a little more energetic.

Seeing Song Yuan coming in towards them, Gu Changjun greeted them as usual, and smiled and blamed them for being busy people, why did they deliberately go to the mountain city to see themselves. Look at himself, forget it, and bring so many gifts, it's a waste to buy these things, how can he eat them alone?

Gu Changjun couldn't help coughing a few times while speaking, and his voice was much softer than usual. Seeing his forced appearance, Song Yuanchao felt uncomfortable, but he was afraid that Gu Changjun would see that he was abnormal, so he could only force a smile and chat with him.

The three of them tacitly did not say anything about their illness, Gu Changjun asked them some questions about their work, Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang answered one by one, and also asked a few words about the situation at Gu Changjun's family.

Gu Changjun told him with a smile that his family was very good, and after he went from Jinling to Shancheng, he lived with the eldest family, the two children were filial, and the second child would come to see him every week no matter how busy he was at work. His grandchildren are also sensible, the children are getting older, and they haven't enjoyed the joy of family for so many years, and now they are finally ......satisfied.

The three of them chatted like this, and after chatting for about half an hour, the nurse came back, helped Gu Changjun change the hanging bottle, and said that the patient needed to rest.

After the nurse left, Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang looked at each other and got up to say goodbye, letting Gu Changjun have a good rest, and they would come to see him tomorrow.

Leaving the hospital, Song Yuanchao's mood was still heavy, and neither of them spoke in the car.

Song Yuanchao didn't have the heart to inspect the branch, so he went straight to the hotel that had been arranged a long time ago.

When he arrived at the hotel, Song Yuanchao entered the room and called Huhai directly, and asked Luo Yang and Zhang Jianguo about the contact channels of experts in this area between Huhai and Yanjing, and roughly talked about Gu Changjun's condition.

A moment later, Luo Yang and Zhang Jianguo respectively called Song Yuanchao back and told them about the contact with the experts through their connections. With the contact number, Song Yuanchao called without saying a word, and now it is work time, but there is communication between Luo Yang and Zhang Jianguo just now, and the two experts from Yanjing and Huhai are waiting for this call.

I communicated with the expert on the phone about the situation, and told me the news I had inquired about from Gu Changjun's attending physician.

After Song Yuanchao finished speaking, the two experts gave Song Yuanchao almost the same answer, telling Song Yuanchao that according to the situation described by the attending physician, Gu Changjun's time should not be much, at most two or three months, and if it is shorter, I am afraid that he will not even be able to survive this half.

Of course, this is only their preliminary judgment, if they want to make an accurate judgment, they have to watch Gu Changjun's film and communicate directly with the attending physician to make a conclusion. However, one thing is certain, if the diagnosis is correct on the mountain city side, and Gu Changjun is indeed in the advanced stage of lung cancer, then this disease is a terminal disease, and the advanced stage of lung cancer does not stay for much time, and people are also very painful.

On the phone, Song Yuanchao thanked the expert for his patient explanation, and also rejected the expert's suggestion to transfer Gu Changjun to Yanjing or Huhai if it was feasible, because even if he was transferred to the hospital, they could not guarantee the treatment of this disease, and from the current condition of the patient, there was no need to transfer to the hospital, but it would aggravate the condition.

Hanging up the phone, Song Yuanchao was panicked, he walked back and forth in the room several times, and finally sat down in the chair by the window, lit a cigarette and sighed.

The bits and pieces of acquaintance with Gu Changjun to becoming a year-old friend emerged from Song Yuanchao's mind one by one, and Song Yuanchao's heart tingled, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Although he has experienced many life and death, Gu Changjun is the first acquaintance he is about to leave when he returns to this era, and no matter from work or life, Gu Changjun has given him a lot of help, this is an elder who makes Song Yuanchao very respectful, and it is an example for him to learn.

In the evening, Song Yuanchao met Gu Changjun's two sons.

Gu Changjun's eldest son is Chinese New Year's Eve six years old, and his second son is Chinese New Year's Eve four years old.

The appearance of the two is seven or eight points similar to Gu Changjun, the eldest works in a machinery factory in the mountain city, and is engaged in technology. The second child works in a local agency and is a cadre of an ordinary department.

For Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang to come to the mountain city to visit their father, the two expressed their heartfelt gratitude. Song Yuanchao met them for the first time, Lu Baogang knew them for a long time because he was an old friend of Gu Changjun, and this time he came over because the boss had called Lu Baogang privately before.

The two came to the hotel to meet with Song Yuanchao, and expressed their family's gratitude to them, and at the same time, it was also a kind of hospitality and courtesy for their father's old friends and colleagues as their father's children.

Everyone sat in the hotel room, drank a few cups of tea, and talked about Gu Changjun's condition.

When it was almost time to eat, the two rejected Song Yuanchao's offer to go to dinner, saying that one would go to the hospital to accompany him, and the other would have to go back to settle the child, and there was no time or need to eat.

Seeing this, Song Yuanchao was no longer reluctant, and sent the two downstairs with Lu Baogang, and when he said goodbye, the boss just walked a few steps and suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned around and walked towards Song Yuanchao.

"Comrade Song...... if it is convenient for you tomorrow, my father wants you to go to the hospital alone, and he has something to say to you."

Song Yuanchao was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "No problem, I'll go over tomorrow morning." ”

"That's it, thank you again for coming to see my father in your busy schedule, goodbye!"

The boss shook hands with Song Yuanchao and said goodbye, and Song Yuanchao watched them leave on bicycles until they were gone.

The next day, Song Yuanchao went to the hospital alone, not that Lu Baogang didn't want to go, but after sending the boss of the Gu family away last night, Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang said this, Lu Baogang and Gu Changjun have been old friends for many years, and they know him very well, and when they hear it, they understand that Gu Changjun has something to talk to Song Yuanchao, so it is not suitable for him to go over together.
