"Master, how are you?" Gu Zhennan asked.
"Old, useless." The old man gave a faint smile.
Seeing Guo Xiang beside Gu Zhennan, the old man smiled, "is this your daughter-in-law?"
"Well, her name is Guo Xiang. She is a doctor. She has opened a hospital. We will take you to her hospital for treatment." Gu Zhennan said.
The old man nodded to Guo Xiang, "Hello, Xiao Guo!"
Guo Xiang hurried forward, "Hello, old man!"
She didn't know what to call it. She didn't know the old man's name. It seemed that she couldn't call him master. He was Gu Zhennan's master, not her own.
"What's wrong with you? How long has it been? " Asked Guo Xiang.
"For months." Qi Ze answered, "master, he always had a fever, cough and asthma at the beginning. We went to the doctor in the village and prescribed some traditional Chinese medicine. It's not good. "
"Later, I was sweating and lost a lot of weight. There are no other places that are particularly painful, that is, the spirit is very bad, so I don't pay much attention to it. I think I'm old. " Qi Ze said.
Guo Xiang nodded. When Gu Zhennan met his master, he was about 50 years old. After more than 20 years, the old man should have been nearly 80 years.
That is to say, he was in good health before he learned martial arts, otherwise he would have lived a long life at this age in the countryside.
"What about the others? What are the uncomfortable places?" Guo Xiang asked again.
"My body is always itchy, and I've scratched my feet one by one. It's not good to find the medicine prescribed by traditional Chinese medicine. " Said the old man.
Guo Xiang's heart clicked. These symptoms seem to be typical symptoms of lymphatic cancer.
"Let me check it for you?" Guo Xiang said, reached out and touched the old man's neck. Sure enough, it seemed to touch a lymph node.
"How's it going?" Gu Zhennan asked.
Guo Xiang hung his eyes. "The specific thing is to go to the hospital for examination."
Gu Zhennan nodded and said to Qi Ze, "clean up and go to the hospital now."
They didn't have any luggage. They simply cleaned up. Gu Zhennan helped the old man to his car. He looked behind and asked Qi Ze to sit in the co pilot.
Guo Xiang drove his own car and followed.
"Didn't you go to the hospital for examination at home?" Gu Zhennan asked Qi Ze.
"No..." Qi Ze's face was a little red. "Just look for the doctor in the village and drink some herbs. Later, I really couldn't go to the county hospital to see a doctor, but the doctor said that those CT and various optical examinations cost hundreds of yuan. We don't have money... "
Gu Zhennan sipped his mouth. Can't he take out hundreds of yuan?
"How did you spend these years?" Gu Zhennan asked.
"I'm an orphan. I was adopted by master. We live there. We are outsiders, and we don't have any land allocated to us. We usually rely on me to do some odd jobs. Shifu sometimes goes hunting in the mountains. "
Gu Zhennan frowned. In fact, with master's skill, if he came out to find a job, he could do it.
But when he met him, he didn't want to come out. Later, when he gets older, he may dislike the outside more.
"I don't have any skills and can't make money..." Qi Ze seemed very embarrassed.
"Later, Shifu was a little seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed. He told me that he had a big apprentice. When he went to town, he occasionally saw a person whose name was like him in a shop. I wondered if it would be his big apprentice."
"In fact, we don't have much hope to come this time. After all, there are many people with the same name and surname. If we make a mistake. I didn't expect it was you, senior brother! "
Gu Zhennan nodded, "you should come to me earlier."
When he arrived at the hospital, Guo Xiang immediately arranged for the elderly to be hospitalized. He asked them to wash first, change their clothes, and then arrange various examinations.
Although I have guessed in my heart, I still hope it is not what I think. It should also be verified by inspection.
The result backfired. After examination, it was indeed lymphatic cancer.
Lymphatic cancer is a malignant lymphatic tumor, which is the most serious cancer.
Moreover, the old man's lymphatic cancer is advanced. He is so old that he can hardly be treated.
Guo Xiang looked a little dignified.
"How's it going?" Gu Zhennan asked that he had been in the hospital these two days.
"Call Qi Ze together!" Guo Xiang said that Gu Zhennan knew it must be very serious.
Call Qi Ze to the office. Together, Guo Xiang takes out all kinds of test sheets.
"It's lymphatic cancer, and it's advanced." Guo Xiang said.
"What?" Qi Ze's face changed. Even if he didn't know what lymphatic cancer was, he knew it was bad when he heard it was cancer.
"Then there is no cure?" Qi Ze asked.
"There are methods for treatment, mainly radiotherapy and chemotherapy, or traditional Chinese medicine." Guo Xiang looked at them, "but the old man is old, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are very painful, and it can't last long. Traditional Chinese medicine may also try. My master is in the hospital, which may prolong his life, but... "Guo Xiang didn't go on.
Obviously, it can't be cured. Even if it's cured, it's just delayed for a period of time.
But when the old man is old, delaying for a period of time only increases the pain, and the symptoms are not the root cause.
"How much time do you have?" Gu Zhennan asked.
"Up to three months." Guo Xiang replied with a sigh in his heart. He didn't expect to see him for many years. Goodbye is life and death.
"Elder martial brother, what should I do?" Qi Ze's eyes turned red. He didn't expect it to be so serious.
He thought that when he came to the capital, the eldest martial brother was so rich that he must have a way. Unexpectedly, Shifu was terminally ill.
He was brought up by his master. Although he didn't recognize him as a father, the two people are the same as father and son and have deep feelings.
Gu Zhennan doesn't know. He also met this thing for the first time.
He looked at Guo Xiang. Guo Xiang shook his head. "It's OK to treat. Anyway, it's his own hospital, not the problem of money, but chemotherapy is really painful, nausea and vomiting, a lot of hair loss, and people can only lie in bed..."
"Personally, it's better to take this time to ask the old man what else he wants, and you can help him finish it together. Or take the old man out to travel, walk around and walk happily... "Guo Xiang can't say any more.
Gu Zhennan and Qi Ze looked at each other, "how can I tell my master?"
Gu Zhennan pondered for a moment, "I'd better tell the truth. When master lives to this age, many things should be underestimated."
The two returned to the ward together. The old man seemed to guess when he saw the apprentice's red eyes.
"Master!" Qi Ze couldn't hold back his tears.
"What are you crying for?" The old man smiled, "I'm old enough to live so long. It's worth seeing you grow up and Zhennan is so promising!"
"Master, do you have any unfinished wishes?" Gu Zhennan squatted down and looked at his master.
"Wish?" The old man hesitated and smiled. "There's no wish. Your teacher's mother is gone. It's good that I can find her!"
