Physician’s Odyssey
Chapter 1693 Illness Comes Like A Wind
In the past two years, Yanjing has made a lot of efforts to control environmental pollution, and the food stalls facing the street are not seen.
The provincial capital of Huainan, Qiongjin, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, is not so exaggerated.
Qiong Jin.
A barbecue stall was placed on the corner of the street, next to the newly demolished ruins, surrounded by a wall.
The customers nearby are all migrant workers. After paying the fee, the urban management will not rush you.
It is hard to imagine that Jin Guoxiang and Su Tao would choose to hide in the wild and enjoy the smell of fireworks among the broken tiles.
The beer is cold draft beer brought by Jin Guoxiang himself. The good beer tastes more delicate. Insert the chopsticks into the glass. The bubbles are like sesame grains. The mouth is dense and has a sweet aroma of malt.
Jin Guoxiang squinted his eyes and looked at the red charcoal fire on the silver grill, and said, "Every time I eat here, I can feel the magnificence of the booze on the battlefield."
Su Tao knew that Jin Guoxiang was also a person with a story, otherwise it would be impossible to hold an important position at such a young age.He got off the plane and was picked up by Jin Guoxiang's guards. Jin Guoxiang wanted to say something to himself.
After drinking the first glass of wine, Jin Guoxiang and Su Tao said, "Do you know why I picked this place?"
Su Tao glanced at the boss who was busy grilling, and said softly, "Because that boss is your acquaintance?"
Jin Guoxiang nodded, "Yes, I entered the recruit company with him, and later he retired and went home, and I continued to stay in the army. So we have kept in touch for so many years."
Su Tao showed admiration in his eyes, and said with emotion: "Ten years of friendship is not easy!"
The dark-skinned man came up with a plate, smiled with Jin Guoxiang, and said, "The roasted kidney you ordered, let's eat it first. I will serve you some other stir-fried dishes later."
The lamb kidneys are roasted golden, sprinkled with cumin powder and chili, with a tangy aroma.
Jin Guoxiang didn't speak, nodded, took a brazing iron, and took a bite.
Su Tao also took a string, without a mouthful, focusing on his walking posture, and said: "He has old wounds on his legs just like you, are they left on the battlefield?"
Jin Guoxiang showed regret at the corner of his mouth, "Sure enough, you can see it, but his leg can't be cured because it is a prosthetic limb. If he was injured a bit less, his current achievements would definitely be higher than mine, so life has many forks. No one knows what the outcome of turning left and right will bring."
Su Tao took a closer look at the boss's legs. His walking posture was a bit of mechanical frustration, which was obviously different from a normal person with a lame leg.
Su Tao realized that Jin Guoxiang was not pulling himself to treat his comrades in arms, but just wanted to bring him to a familiar place, where the two of them could talk a little relaxed topic.
Su Tao felt warm in his heart. From this point, it can be seen that Jin Guoxiang really regarded himself as a friend, but I don't know why Jin Guoxiang's mood is very low, so he has to find a way to ask questions.
Su Tao and Jin Guoxiang finished a bucket of draught beer puree after a cup.Su Tao could see that Jin Guoxiang likes this kind of life, and only when he is with someone he trusts can he relax.
Jin Guoxiang's wine is very good, even if he drinks a little bit, he still doesn't talk too much.
Su Tao can see from Jin Guoxiang's reaction that he is thinking, but Jin Guoxiang himself is unwilling to say, so he can't take the initiative to ask, as long as he patiently drinks with him, that is enough.
After the show, the two chatted about something and sent Su Tao to the hotel. Su Tao invited him: "Go up, make you a cup of tea?"
Jin Guoxiang did not refuse.
When I came to the room, I was handed a glass of hangover soup...
Jin Guoxiang shook his head and smiled bitterly. He still drank a drink. Suddenly, there was music in his ear, not modern pop music, but the popular red songs of their era. He was lying on the sofa, closed his eyes, and felt a sense of noness. The same taste.
"I didn't expect you to be here waiting for me." Jin Guoxiang slowly opened his eyes.
Su Tao smiled and said, "I feel like you want to be nostalgic, so let you revisit it completely. People are tired, and occasionally need to stop and take a good look at the scenery along the road."
Su Tao handed Jin Guoxiang a cup of tea.
Jin Guoxiang took a sip of the golden tea soup, "You should have seen it, I have often been drinking alone in the last few days and nights. No, it's been a month or two to be precise. But I want to go back today and I should be able to sleep. A good night's sleep."
Jin Guoxiang's mouth is still very tight and airtight!
Su Tao knows that Jin Guoxiang may have encountered a big problem in his career. No one can be smooth sailing, especially a person of Jin Guoxiang's level, who will encounter various challenges every day. Shui Lao is willing to help him, but He still has to deal with many things on his own, and it is impossible to bother Shui Lao about everything.
Su Tao still didn't ask carefully, and said with a smile: "If you say that, then I'm relieved. I originally planned to prescribe you a prescription to help you sleep well, but now it doesn't seem to be needed anymore."
The higher the level, the more fierce the fighting between factions. Jin Guoxiang is now encountering extremely difficult things. I am afraid that the fighting involves the level of the water family. As for Jin Guoxiang, I am afraid that the fish will be affected.
"Father, I feel a little sick recently, so I call you to meet him, not only because he needs someone to chat with him, but also because we are all worried about his health." Jin Guoxiang explained in a deep voice.
Su Tao's eyes showed a solemn look. I am afraid that Shui Lao's physical condition is not good. The reason why he did not make a big announcement to the outside world is probably because the outside world has received information, which will cause more disadvantages to the current situation of the Shui family.
Su Tao is grateful to the Shui Family. Although he has treated Shui Lao by himself, he now has a close relationship with the Shui Family in tracing the origin of everything he owns.Anyone who knows Su Tao knows that the real supporter behind him is the Shui family, and there are even rumors that Su Tao is the future grandson-in-law of the Shui family.
Su Tao is not curious, why the Shui family has not allowed himself to treat the water as soon as possible. There are two possibilities. First, Su Tao has a special identity. If the Shui family is very anxious, he will let his opponent keep an eye on it; second, Shui Lao's condition is very serious, even if Su Tao appears, it will not have much effect.
Thinking of this, Su Tao's heart is not only much heavier.
No wonder Jin Guoxiang's mood has been wrong.
Although Shui Lao is stubborn, he is definitely an old man with charm and wisdom. Every time Su Tao communicates with him, he can gain a lot.
Isn't Shui Lao said that he will participate in the "Old Revolution and re-take the Long March Road"?
If his body is really bad, how can he participate in activities?Maybe it's because I worry too much?Shui Lao just caught a common cold.
But the emotions that Jin Guoxiang showed made Su Tao uneasy.
Sleepless at night.
Su Tao came to the water house at about 9:30 the next day. The water house still looks like that, but I don’t know why it feels quiet. I occasionally see the guards or servants and they just nodded silently with Su Tao, as if worried. What disturbed you.
This made Su Tao believe that his guess is probably true.
Seeing the tired, listless, and skinny Shui Lao on the sick bed, Su Tao was instantly stunned.
He particularly regretted that he was too busy and had not taken the initiative to meet Shui Lao during the recent period.
Of course, it was also because the Shui family deliberately blocked news.
The Shui family faction is currently in a confrontation with other factions. If the news of Shui Lao's serious illness is leaked out at this critical moment, it will only make the situation more uncontrollable.
"Sorry, old man, I'm late." Su Tao tried his best to squeeze a smile out of his face, "please rest assured, I will make you jump quickly."
There was a trace of relief in the old man's eyes, and he complained: "The acting has regressed. Since I said I will be good, why are you sad?"
Su Tao shook his head and blamed himself: "I'm so unconscionable, I haven't come to see you for so long."
Shui Lao waved his hand gently, and said hoarsely: "I'm talking stupid again. There are many things that need to be handled by you. How can you always accompany me with a dying old man?"
Su Tao took out a quick clean cotton cloth to help Shui Lao wipe the water stains on the corners of his mouth, and quickly persuaded: "Don't say bad things, you will be well. I will give you a pulse."
Old Shui nodded, and said, "Well, your medical skills are very good. Maybe you can make me live a few more days." He paused and added: "If you didn't save me by leaving the pill , My life should have been frozen two months ago."
Su Tao was in the East African grasslands when his condition worsened.
After returning to China, Su Tao was always busy, and the Shui family deliberately prevented Shui's illness from letting the outside world know.
Su Tao left Shui Lao a life-saving pill, which can save his life in a critical moment.
Although the pills have a short-term effect of reviving the dead, they cannot cure the cause.
Su Tao knew that the Shui family must have hired many doctors for Shui Lao, and the results of his own diagnosis might not necessarily be superior.
To heal Shui Lao, he must create miracles again, he is very dedicated and serious.
However, the pulse is chaotic, the five internal organs are damaged, and life is lingering... as if only a little spark is left in the dark world.
The wind chills into the body, the function is exhausted... If you change to an ordinary person, there is no medicine to continue your life, and there is no vitality.
Seeing that Su Tao was lingering, Shui Lao showed a relaxed smile at the corner of his mouth, "It seems that you have nothing to do!"
"How could this happen?" Su Tao had a hard time understanding the change, because the last time I saw Shui Lao, his physical condition was normal. Could it be that he encountered a huge change?
The disease comes like a gust of wind, why it suddenly came on, I really can’t tell.
Even a well-made instrument will be damaged and difficult to repair.
What's more, Shui Lao is very old and suffers from illness and pain, and the risk is greater.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of life and the rules of the world. If there is only life without death, then the ecology will be destroyed.
Even noble people can hardly violate this rule.
Even if the ancient nobles are like emperors, they will most likely be bedridden from then on when encountering an inconspicuous wind and chill, and eventually die forever.
Shui Lao waved his hand gently, and suddenly said: "Don't embarrass yourself too much. Some doctors have seen me a disease, and they have come to a conclusion. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter. I don't want much now, I just hope to be calm and peaceful. To spend the rest of the time."
Standing by Su Tao's side, Jin Guofeng saw Su Tao holding Shui Lao's palm, squeezing his fists, trying to keep himself from crying.
Shui is always Jin Guoxiang's head, teacher, Bole, and also his role model and belief.
Su Tao finally controlled his emotions and said firmly: "Please trust me again, you will get better!"
