In the second half of May 9, Li Xiangnian did not intervene in Zhang Yichi's life.

But the more this is the case, the more Zhang Yichi can't figure out what Li Xiangnian is doing now. He only knows that the opponent is strong, what about other things? Nothing.

He was a little anxious.

……

May 10, morning

Li Xiangnian drove to a private hospital in the city, and after greeting the nurse who had been waiting inside, the nurse took him directly to the attending doctor's office.

Knocking on the door and entering, Li Xiangnian smiled and shook hands with the attending physician who looked to be in his early forties with gold-rimmed glasses.

"Old Cui, long time no see." Li Xiangnian said.

Cui Han's face was full of emotion: "Yes, come, sit down first." ”

The two were high school classmates, had a very good relationship, and have kept in touch since graduation, but they are both busy with their jobs and haven't seen each other for a long time.

"How's your work going?" Cui Han poured a glass of water for Li Xiangnian.

Li Xiangnian took the water cup: "Not salty, not light." ”

"Is Ying'er okay?" Cui Han asked.

"It's good." Li Xiangnian habitually looked around, "I'm working in the field at this time." Listening to her grandmother, she also got a boyfriend. ”

Speaking of the back, Li Xiangnian smiled, but he didn't smile so freely.

"It's been more than a year with that kid, and I only found out about it two days ago. I haven't even seen the man's face, and I don't know if it's reliable...... Don't talk about me, what about those two boys in your family? ”

"The big one is not busy with the graduate school entrance examination, the little one just passed his eighteenth birthday last month, and he is also preparing for the college entrance examination! When the second child goes to college, we will be relaxed. Ha ha...... Alas...... I don't know what I've been busy with, but most of my life has passed like this. Cui Han sighed.

The two exchanged pleasantries.

After a short period of silence, Cui Han said, "What about your things?" ”

"Here." Li Xiangnian picked up a bag and took out all kinds of related things from the diagnosis certificate inside.

Cui Han frowned and looked at it, and after a long time, he asked, "What did they say?" ”

"There are still about three months to go." Li Xiangnian replied calmly.

Cui Han didn't speak, grabbed the diagnosis book with both hands, and stared at every line on it.

In fact, when Cui Han didn't say a word, Li Xiangnian understood that his old friend couldn't help him anymore, and the terminal illness was an established fact and could not be reversed.

So he took the lead in breaking the silence: "Actually, I didn't come to let you save my life, and it's not practical to say that, right?" I just want to come and see you, let's catch up. Prescribe some other medicine and don't make me go through the last three months in such pain. ”

Cui Han raised his head and looked at Li Xiangnian, his eyes were a little red, and he didn't know whether he was moved by Li Xiangnian's insipidity or his friend who had been reluctant to leave for decades: "I suggest that you be hospitalized immediately." ”

"It doesn't make sense." Li Xiangnian leaned back in his chair, his body bones didn't look as tough as before, "What if you help me continue my life for a few more months, I can't survive on the hospital bed, pull back and forth with Lord Yama, and pull me to death like a human being, I don't like it." I still want to walk cleanly. ”

"Did you inform your family?" Cui Han was silent for a long time before he said.

"Nope." Li Xiangnian shook his head.

Cui Han took a tissue and wiped his eyes, and sighed: "Alas, Lao Li ......"

"It's okay, I've taken long enough to face this up. I'm really not scared now, but I'm glad that I didn't die suddenly, and I can still try to plan my next life carefully without regrets. A faint smile appeared on Li Xiangnian's face.

It's morning, and the soft sunlight is shining through the windows.

He squinted and looked out.

The old body seemed to have gained the favor of life again at this moment.

……

In the afternoon, Li Xiangnian drove to the school and wanted to talk to Zhang Yichi again. Zhang Yichi was the last person to have contact with Lu Tao, and he was destined to be one of the key figures in this incident.

The head teacher still received Li Xiangnian for the first time. Today is Wednesday, Lu Tao has been missing for three days, and every extra day will be more dangerous, how can the head teacher not take it to heart.

"The first class this afternoon was PE and they should be on the playground right now." The head teacher took Li Xiangnian to the playground.

The school's playground is surrounded by a guardrail, and only one main entrance is accessible. There are many students in the playground, and it seems that more than one class is in physical education class.

Li Xiangnian didn't walk in, but stood outside the guardrail and looked inside: "Let's wait for him to get out of class and call him over." I've been here so many times in the past few days, don't cause students to talk about Lu Tao anymore. ”

"It's fine." The head teacher had no objections, "By the way, this morning I started to mobilize all the teachers and students of the school to donate money for Lu Tao." ”

"Ah......" Li Xiangnian seemed to remember something, took out his wallet from his pocket, left some change, and handed it to the head teacher three hundred and fifty yuan, "I'll donate some too." ”

The head teacher was stunned: "This ......"

"It's not easy." Li Xiangnian's hand for the money stretched forward and urged the head teacher to take it quickly.

The head teacher took the money and said with some emotion: "I thank you for Lu Tao and his mother." ”

"Hands up...... Where are they? Li Xiangnian's eyes were not very good, and after looking for a long time, he couldn't find where Zhang Yichi's class was in the playground.

"Over there." The head teacher pointed in a direction, "The class over there is our class." Speaking of which, children are developing really fast now, and they are not small in junior high school. In our school, boys can't have more hair than their eyebrows, and they wear the same uniforms and are about the same size, so sometimes it's hard to tell who's who when they're far away. ”

Li Xiangnian's pupils shrank, and then suddenly widened.

The head teacher's words made him feel like he was suddenly open, and his mind was a mess but very clear. He took out his mobile phone, clicked on the video of 'Lu Tao' walking out of Zhang Yichi's unit building recorded by himself, watched it a few times, and then gave it to the head teacher: "...... Look at it, is this person Lu Tao? ”

"Hmm...... This schoolbag belongs to Lu Tao, wearing a peaked cap, which is a little dark...... It should be Lu Tao, right? Who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Tao? The head teacher asked after reading it.

Yes, who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Tao?

Li Xiangnian was thoughtful.

……

After physical education class, Zhang Yichi was on the way back to class with the crowd, and saw the head teacher standing not far away and waving to him.

He estimated that it was Lu Tao's business, trotted over, and asked, "Do you have something?" ”

"Officer Li came looking for you just now." The head teacher said.

Zhang Yichi was a little puzzled and looked around: "I didn't see it." ”

"He came when you were in class, but in order to avoid bad influences, he didn't go directly to you, but planned to wait for you to get out of class and call you over. While waiting, Officer Li showed me a video, and then said that there was something wrong and left directly. The head teacher told Zhang Yichi about the experience just now.

"What video?" Zhang Yichi felt bad.

"It's the video of Lu Tao coming out of your unit building on Sunday night, and he asked me if this was Lu Tao, and I felt very inexplicable...... "The head teacher explained, "Do you know what this situation is?" Is there any new development on Officer Li's side? ”

Since the head teacher learned yesterday that Li Xiangnian had visited Zhang Yichi's house on Monday night, he has always felt that Li Xiangnian did not tell her the progress of the matter completely, and even thought that Zhang Yichi knew more than her, so he had to talk to Zhang Yichi from time to time.

Zhang Yichi's face froze.
