Chapter 240 Interview
January [-]rd.

On the last day of the New Year's Day holiday, people were still on vacation, and Ren Ming had already boarded the plane to another country.

Outside the porthole, the buildings on the ground became smaller and smaller until they were blocked by the clouds and completely invisible.

Ren Ming withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Yang He beside him, and asked, "Brother Yang, I don't know the information about the interviewee yet."

"Look at my brain." Yang He knocked his head and said, "I'm getting old, I always forget things."

Ren Ming smiled and said, "You are not old. When we first met, I thought you were only 30 years old."

Yang He smiled, and said: "You don't look old, but your brain is old. Well, I won't chat with you anymore, let me introduce you to the old man's information."

……

Ten minutes later, after Yang He's introduction, Ren Ming had a preliminary understanding of the interviewee.

The old man's name is Gu Guhua, a well-known expert in the field of explosion mechanics and nuclear test engineering in Xia State, and an academician of Xia State Engineering. From the 60s to the 90s of the last century, he participated in all 30 nuclear tests in Xia State for more than 45 years.

After the country stopped nuclear testing, he led a team to engage in research on cutting-edge defense technology and achieved fruitful results.

A real countryman.

Today, he is admitted to the Second Military Medical Hospital in Fengcheng due to illness.

When talking about this, Yang He's expression was quite heavy.

Seeing Yang He's expression, Ren Ming asked, "Is Gu Lao very sick?"

Yang He said: "It's very serious. When the diagnosis was made, it was already in the advanced stage of gastric cancer... What's wrong with you?"

He was a little surprised, because at this moment, Ren Ming's face was full of annoyance.

Ren Ming said: "It's okay, I suddenly remembered that there was something I didn't do well. It's okay, you continue to talk."

He regrets it very much now, he had nothing to upgrade the system last night.

Now that the system has been offline for ten days, he can't do anything.The loss of even one scientist of Gu Lao's level would be a major loss to the country in related fields.

Yang He said: "I don't have anything to say about the rest, you will know when you meet him later."

more than an hour later.

When the plane landed, it was completely dark.

After getting off the plane, the three of them took their luggage, took a taxi, and went straight to the Second Military Medical Hospital.

Fengcheng is a city full of history. The ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, whether it is the ruins of palaces on the ground or underground tombs, there are too many outrageous.

Along the way, all kinds of colorful lights on ancient buildings or antique buildings are turned on. While illuminating the road, it also allows people who arrive for the first time to appreciate the strong historical and cultural atmosphere floating over the city at close range.

Ren Ming looked sideways at the beautiful scenery outside the window. If he came by himself, he would definitely have to visit and play, but this time he came with a mission, so he lost that mood.

Soon, the taxi arrived at the gate of the hospital.

Finding a place to stay nearby, the three of them put away their luggage, ignoring their bulging stomachs, and after inquiring all the way, they arrived at the oncology department on the ninth floor where Gu Zhenhua was.

Ren Minghe followed Yang He, holding the pot of Malan bought in Yangcheng, and Zhou Zusen was last with a camera in his hand.

Ren Ming was about to stop a nurse to ask where Gu Guhua's ward was, when he suddenly attracted his attention.

Not far away, a young nurse ran up to a middle-aged nurse with tears in her eyes.

The three of them got closer and heard their conversation clearly.

"Head nurse, Mr. Gu is in a coma!"

The face of the middle-aged nurse known as the head nurse changed drastically, and she said, "Let's go!" After finishing speaking, she walked straight away, and the little nurse hurriedly followed.

Ren Ming and Yang He looked at each other the same way, and followed.

Two nurses turned into a ward, and the three were about to go in too.

"Let it go! Let it go!"

Seeing them blocking the door, a little nurse shouted anxiously.

The three of Ren Ming quickly stepped aside and stood at the base of the wall.In order not to block the road, Zhou Zusen even raised the camera above his head, as if being punished to stand. It was very funny, but no one laughed at him.

In the next second, a group of medical staff pushed an emergency bed, came out of the room, and quickly ran towards the elevator.

While running, he yelled, "Give way!..."

The emergency bed passed by the three of them, and in an instant, Ren Ming glanced at the old man lying on the bed.

It is a very thin body under the wide patient bed.Wearing an oxygen mask on his face covered with age spots, his eyes were closed tightly, and it was obvious that he had lost consciousness.

Ren Ming also noticed a detail, the old man's hair was combed perfectly.

At this time, he can still keep his hairstyle undisturbed. He should be a very strict person.

Looking at the backs of everyone leaving, Ren Ming thought so in his heart.

"What are you doing in a daze, quickly follow up."

Yang He's voice in front of him woke him up. He took the potted plant in his hand, spread his legs, and followed.

The thirteenth floor of the inpatient department.

Outside the intensive care unit, Ren Ming saw the family members who had just followed the bed.

An old woman with gray hair but tall and straight figure, a middle-aged man in her 40s with a square face, and two young men in camouflage uniforms.

Yang He led Zhou Zusen to walk over, but before he got there, he was stopped by two young men.

Yang He didn't panic at all, and asked, "Are you family members of Academician Gu Guhua?"

The middle-aged man came over and saw the camera in Zhou Zusen's hand. A smile appeared on his haggard face, "Sorry, we don't accept interviews."

Yang He took out his work ID and said, "We are from CCTV, we made an appointment before."

After looking at his work ID and confirming that it was genuine, the middle-aged man nodded and signaled the two young men to get out of the way.

"Come and sit." The middle-aged man motioned them to come and sit on the chairs.

Although his mood and state are visible to the naked eye, he still can't find fault with his dealings with others.

Ren Ming also followed. Seeing the flower pot in his hand, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "You guys are interested. This Malan is my father's favorite little flower."

Yang He said: "It's a pity that it's not in its flowering season now, and I can't see its flowers. But wait another five or six months, after this cold winter, you will be able to see its small blue-purple flowers in spring."

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "I hope he can see it."

The atmosphere suddenly sank.

Everyone knows that the "he" in the middle-aged population is the interview target of their trip, Gu Zhenhua.

Ren Ming didn't feel very good in his heart. The middle-aged man's words proved that Gu Lao's time was really running out, and he didn't even have confidence in five months.

Yang He followed in silence for a while, looked at the old lady who had been sitting very quietly, and asked softly, "Mr. Gu, this is your mother, right?"

Gu Jianguo nodded and said, "She is my mother, Li Shulan."

"Hello, Mr. Li." Yang He took the initiative to say hello.

"Grandma Li, hello." Ren Ming also said.

Li Shulan smiled slightly, and replied: "You are also good."

She is not tall, her clothes are not expensive, and her face is kind, no different from ordinary old ladies in Xia Guo, but she has the calmness and grandeur that are unique to intellectuals.

Although her husband was being rescued in the intensive care unit at the moment, she didn't lose her sense of proportion by crying, but sat there firmly, waiting for the result.

On the surface, she was very calm, but Ren Ming noticed that her fists were clenched, which showed that her heart was by no means as calm as she appeared.

Yang He also noticed this detail. He wanted to divert the old man's attention, so he said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Gu was diagnosed in Yangcheng, so why did you transfer to Fengcheng?"

Li Shulan said: "After the diagnosis in Yangcheng, the doctor asked Gu to undergo chemotherapy, but he refused the doctor's suggestion in order to ensure his working status. He hoped that he could use traditional Chinese medicine to prolong the time and let him finish his work. Later, in order to facilitate his work, he himself asked to be transferred to another hospital."

Yang He couldn't believe it: "It's already this time, and he still has to work?"

Li Shulan said: "That's right, he is like this. For work, he often doesn't even eat, and he doesn't need to sleep."

Next, Yang He and Li Shulan kept talking.

And through their conversation, Ren Ming also outlined the image of Gu Zhenhua in his heart.

Outstanding knowledge, indifferent to fame and wealth, love and dedication.

In other words, for him, the task at hand is no longer a simple job, but a lifelong pursuit worth dedicating everything to, even including his life.

This is a man of faith.

About 40 minutes later, the door of the intensive care unit opened, and a large group of medical staff came out.

Gu Guhua's family hurried up to meet him, and Ren Ming and his party followed behind them.

Gu Jianguo asked nervously, "Doctor, how is my father?"

The leading doctor said: "Old Gu is out of danger, but his physical condition is still not optimistic. You should try to persuade him and let him receive chemotherapy as soon as possible, otherwise..."

The doctor said nothing more, but everyone understood what he meant.

Gu Jianguo said: "Okay, we will persuade him."

The doctor nodded, "That's it for now. If you need anything, call me anytime."

Gu Jianguo said: "Okay."

The doctor was about to leave, but Yang He stopped him and said, "We are CCTV reporters, can you talk to me about Gu Lao's condition?"

The doctor said: "Okay, go to my office and talk."

……

"Doctor, what is the extent of Gu's condition?"

In the office, Yang He was interviewing Gu Zhenhua's attending doctor, Ren Ming was standing aside studying, and Zhou Zusen was in charge of filming.

The doctor looked solemn and said: "The cancer is in the terminal stage, and a large amount of ascites has already appeared. The site of his disease is the stomach, but the liver, pancreas, and transverse colon have metastasized everywhere, and the tumor cells have spread to the lymph nodes around the stomach and the lymph nodes. distant lymph nodes."

"What's more, he can't eat now, and has a symptom of persistent vomiting. He vomits when he drinks saliva, and he is completely dependent on infusions to maintain his life."

Yang He: "..."

He was speechless for a long time. He never expected that Gu Zhenhua's condition had become so serious. At the same time, he remembered the conversation with Li Shulan just now.

Even in this situation, Gu Guhua still insists on working. What kind of belief is supporting him?
"How long is Gu Lao?" Yang He asked the question he was most concerned about again.

Doctor: "It may be calculated in days."

Yang He nodded, "I see." He stood up, "Thank you for accepting my interview, is it convenient for us to go and see Mr. Gu now?"

The doctor said: "He is not awake yet, you should come back tomorrow morning."

After leaving the hospital, the three of them felt very heavy.

Ren Ming walked silently at the end. Although he and Gu Guhua had only met once, and he had never even said a word, the image of this respectable old man had already penetrated into his heart.

He very much hopes that the old man will get better, but he also knows that this is just a wish.

Of course, there is still hope now, that is, as long as the old man can survive these ten days and wait for the system to be upgraded, everything is still possible.

"Grumble~"

I don't know whose stomach rang, breaking the tranquility between the three.

Yang He stopped, smiled, glanced at his watch, and said, "It's almost nine o'clock, let's go eat. We can't starve people anymore, right. Go to bed early after dinner, and we will come early tomorrow." .”

"Okay." The two responded.

……

four days.

It was six o'clock in the morning, the sun had not yet risen, and the sky was still dark.

Compared with yesterday, the air quality has deteriorated a lot. Small dust particles are floating in the air. The palace in the distance can only see the light of the colored lights on it, and its shape cannot be seen at all.

The three of Ren Ming came out of the hotel where they were staying in thick down jackets.

After breakfast, Ren Ming followed Yang He to the hospital again.

On the thirteenth floor, at the entrance of the intensive care unit, the three of them happened to meet Gu Jianguo who was going to buy breakfast.

"You guys are here." Gu Jianguo seemed to be in worse condition than yesterday, his dark eyes made him look even more haggard, but after seeing the three of them, he still smiled.

"Here we come." Yang He said softly, "Is Gu Lao awake?"

Gu Jianguo said: "Wake up, it's inside, you go in, I'll go buy some breakfast, and I'll bring you one by the way."

"No, no, we've already eaten." Yang He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, let's go in and see Mr. Gu."

"Ah."

The three of them walked into the intensive care unit, and Ren Ming unconsciously relaxed his footsteps. Looking around, he was a little dazzled, all kinds of instruments he couldn't understand were on, and there were "didi" sounds from time to time.

"You guys are here." Li Shulan, who was talking to Gu Zhenhua, saw the three of them coming in, got up to greet them, and said, "Old Gu Zheng is talking about you."

Unlike Gu Jianguo, she was no different from yesterday, and even had a deeper smile on her face.

Yang He laughed and said, "What did Mr. Gu say about us?"

Li Shulan said: "Ask him yourself."

The three walked to Gu Guhua's bed.

Ren Ming carefully looked at the old man on the bed.

The difference from yesterday is that now he has all kinds of tubes stuck in his body. Ren Ming roughly counted them, and there are as many as nine.

He was wearing a breathing mask, with his mouth open, from his throat to his chest, he moved up and down with his breathing. Every time he took a breath, it seemed that he had expended a lot of effort, which made people feel distressed.

Li Shulan leaned over to his ear and said, "Old Gu, this is reporter Yang who gave you the Malan flower, Ren reporter."

Gu Zhenhua's eyes were wide open, but there was no light in his eyes. Hearing his wife's words, he turned his head slightly, with a smile so shallow that it was almost invisible, he said, "Thank you."
