Proud Gu Mingyu

Gu Mingyu's peaceful life was suddenly broken. He asked for leave the next day and took the shuttle bus to the provincial capital. As soon as he got out of the car, he was blown by the cold wind and sneezed. However, the wind is blowing, as if to blow people away.

Gu Mingyu hailed a taxi, the driver was very talkative, but seeing that his expression was not good, and hearing him say that he was going to the Second Affiliated Hospital, he didn't say much, and concentrated on driving along the way, when he arrived at the place, Gu Mingyu paid the money and got out of the car, turned back I saw the driver look sympathetic.The Second Affiliated Hospital is a well-known cancer hospital in the province. It is located in the city center. In the past, Gu Huaili used to borrow a car to bring him to the province to buy new year's goods and new clothes. He always passed by here.Looking at those patients or family members with numb, numb or sad faces, Gu Mingyu would always feel sad, but at that time he never thought that he would become one of them.

There are a lot of people in the hospital, and there is a long queue in front of the elevator. Some of them bring fruits to see patients, some patients wear hospital gowns with water hanging on them, and some family members carry insulated boxes. Although there are many people, no one speaks. , Everyone's eyes were numb, mixed with the smell of disinfectant in the air, there was a strange quietness, so quiet that it was suffocating.Gu Mingyu couldn't stay any longer, so she simply put the backpack in her hand on her back, found the stairs and ran up to the eighth floor.

Hu Zhen's ward was a room for two people. When Gu Mingyu arrived, a young woman in hospital gown just pushed the door and came out. She was taken aback when she saw him.

Then he smiled and said, "Your brother is here to find Aunt Hu and Uncle Gu, right?"

"Yes, they..." Gu Mingyu tightened the backpack strap in his hand, his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat.

"Uncle Gu pushed Auntie to have a checkup, and I'll probably be back soon, why don't you go in and sit down first, so you can help me look at things." The young woman was not yet 30 years old, and she smiled cheerfully and optimistically. Gu Mingyu nodded After watching her leave, he lowered his head and walked into the ward.

The ward is very tidy. The place by the window belongs to the young woman. There is a big doll that is as tall as a person on her bed. There are some gadgets that girls like neatly placed on the bed, which looks very warm. .Hu Zhen's place is inside, it's not that cold, there are two mouthfuls of boiled noodles on the cabinet, Gu Mingyu finds a stool and sits in a daze.

It didn't take long for Gu Huaili and Hu Zhen to come back. Hearing the door knock, Gu Mingyu turned to look, and saw Hu Zhen with a sallow complexion, sickly sitting in a wheelchair, and Gu Huaili pushed her in.

Seeing a smile on Gu Mingyu's ugly face and Hu Zhen's, she looked very weak, she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand, Gu Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and hurried over and squatted in front of her to hold her hand.

"mom--"

"Mingyu, mommy's baby, mommy misses you so much." Hu Zhen threw herself into Mingyu's arms, she had no strength at all, Gu Mingyu and her father carried her to the hospital bed together, and waited until the nurse came for the infusion. After Hu Zhen fell asleep, the father and son came to the corridor, and Gu Mingyu couldn't help asking: "Mom, what's the matter—isn't it just a few days?"

Counting the time they waited for the news after checking, Gu Mingyu hadn't seen her mother for more than two weeks, and she seemed to be fine before, so why did she become so ill so quickly.

Gu Huaili was silent at first, and then sighed after a long time, "I just realized that fear can overwhelm people, so... death is such a terrible thing." I have been studying and working outside, and when I go home, I only see the love of my parents but not their pain.

Gu Mingyu held his breath, if his mother...

Gu Huaili saw what he was thinking, patted him on the shoulder, and said to him: "It has nothing to do with you, as you said, as long as the treatment starts, it is impossible to hide it, this is the cancer hospital—"

As he said that, he laughed bitterly, "Your mother will need chemotherapy next. She is not an uneducated rural woman, so of course she knows what chemotherapy does."

Even with his father's advice, Gu Mingyu still felt uncomfortable. Gu Huaili didn't want him to blame himself, so he changed the subject and said, "The doctor said that there are two methods, chemotherapy and surgery, but the success rate of surgery is low and the cost is high. Then suffer, if you are lucky, you can look like a normal person after surgery. As for chemotherapy—chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells, but the side effects are very serious, and good cells will also be killed...I want to persuade your mother to have surgery. "

"But the success rate of surgery..." Gu Mingyu couldn't continue, his father's low success rate scared him, he paused and changed the subject, "How much does the surgery cost?"

"Forty thousand." Gu Huaili said, "My family doesn't have that much money. I've been contacting friends to see how much our house can sell for. I moved in in 00 and only lived there for five years. In the past few years The house price has risen a lot, although it’s a bit remote there, it shouldn’t be a problem to sell it for 30 yuan, and I’ll figure out the rest, that is, we can only rent a house after the house is sold.”

Among the relatives of the Gu family, Gu Mingyu's family is considered the richest. In 40, 05 was still an astronomical figure. Gu Huaili knew that he couldn't borrow it, so he wanted to sell the house.

"It's no big deal to rent a house." Gu Mingyu said with a smile, with tears in his eyes, "As long as it can cure my mother's illness, it's okay to sell the iron."

"Yes." Gu Huaili sighed for a long time, "As long as it can be cured."

A person who never smoked and no one at home got lung cancer—Xu Gang was addicted to cigarettes, but he never dared to smoke at home. Gu Huaili hated the smell of smoke.No one can find out the reason, Xu Gang said: "It's all caused by the woman next door! It must have been suppressed during their quarrel! If there is no such thing, our mother will not be sick!"

Gu Mingzhu also said: "I hate that woman."

Hatred is always easier than open-mindedness. The Gu family all regarded the Zhou family as the root cause. Even Gu Huaili hated the Zhou family while blaming himself.

Gu Mingyu wants to say that this is all fate and luck, but even he can't be so rational, why?Their Zhou family is still in harmony. Zhou Ming never quarrels with Chen Lingling. Both of them are in good health, and their grandparents are still alive. Zhou Cheng is carefree. Why?

When Zhou Cheng stood on the ladder and peeked at his yard again, Gu Mingyu walked over and said to him, "Go for a walk, don't stay here, my brother will beat you if he sees it."

What Gu Mingyu said was the truth, Xu Gang was very scary when he got nervous, he already had a fierce look, Zhou Cheng was afraid of him since he was a child, every time he came to Gu Mingyu's house, he had to ask if Xu Gang was there, if he was there, he would not dare to enter the door of.

For some reason last week, Xu Gang suddenly ran to Zhou Cheng's house and kicked the iron door of his house hard. Zhou Ming was so scared that he almost called the police. The door was deeply dented even now.

Knowing that Hu Zhen was sick, Zhou Cheng felt sorry for Gu Mingyu, afraid that he would be sad and afraid to come to him, so he climbed up the ladder as soon as he heard the noise next door—even if it was just to see him.

Zhou Zhi's case has not yet been judged, but Zhou Cheng doesn't care anymore, he knows that Gu Mingyu will always be the most important in his heart.

Gu Mingyu walked in front very quietly, Zhou Cheng looked at his back and was a little puzzled - at first he thought that Gu Mingyu came to him to reconcile with him, but now it seems that Gu Mingyu seems to have changed, he can feel it.

In the past, whether they walked together, no matter whether they were one in front of the other, side by side, or chasing and fighting, Zhou Cheng could feel an ambiguous atmosphere, his heartbeat would speed up, and the way they looked at each other was different from that of other people.

But now Zhou Cheng found that there was nothing in Gu Mingyu's eyes. When he turned to face Zhou Cheng, those eyes were as calm as stagnant water.

"Zhou Cheng, forget it."

Zhou Cheng was stunned for a moment: "Forget what?"

"You understand, it's impossible for me and you." Gu Mingyu's words were very sincere, so sincere that it was just a notice, "Let's...don't meet again, and treat it as if we don't know each other."

Zhou Cheng's face turned white all of a sudden, he watched Gu Mingyu turn his back to him and walk further and further away, a strong unwillingness drove him to shout at his back: "No! I can't do it, I can't do it ! Gu Mingyu! Gu Mingyu, I—"

Before Zhou Cheng finished saying that he likes you, he watched Gu Mingyu turn his body slightly, nodded and said, "I know, but I hate you."

Zhou Cheng froze there, opened his mouth and couldn't speak, Gu Mingyu continued to move forward, hurting Zhou Cheng made him feel a little happy, he felt that he was really a villain, a scum, listening to the boy behind him let out a cry of sadness With a low growl, a tear dripped from Gu Mingyu's eyes, and he said in his heart: "Zhou Cheng, I'm sorry, goodbye."

From then on, Gu Mingyu didn't pay attention to Zhou's family anymore, even though they were separated by a wall, they never saw each other again.

After being ill, Hu Zhen changed a lot. Her mentality collapsed when she heard that she had lung cancer, and the time was running out. The young woman in the same ward died. She was 28 years old and died of uterine cancer. She died before she was married and gave birth to a child. on the operating table.Therefore, it is useless to be cheerful and relaxed, and you still cannot escape your fate.

Because she was still hesitating whether to undergo chemotherapy or surgery, Hu Zhen returned home instead of staying in the hospital.

Not long after arriving home, Hu Zhen asked the sorceress to come to the house to see Fengshui. The furniture in the house was changed and the trees in the yard were cut down—because the sorceress said that picking trees in the yard is sleepy, and it will kill people. stuck.

Although they scoffed at the witch's statement, Gu Huaili and the others didn't say anything - if this could make Hu Zhen no longer afraid.Xu Gang accompanied Hu Zhen at home every day, moving furniture and cutting trees according to the instructions of the sorceress, and Gu Mingyu occasionally helped.

It’s just that one afternoon, due to the heavy rain, Gu Mingyu forgot to bring an umbrella and stayed at school for dinner. When the rain stopped at night for self-study, Gu Mingyu came back, parked his bicycle and put away his schoolbag, but the panda that was supposed to welcome him was nowhere to be seen, and the room was full of him. Zijia searched all over the basement of the backyard but did not find any pandas.Walking into the study and seeing her father sitting on a chair in a daze without turning on the light, Gu Mingyu suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Where's the panda?"

Gu Huaili sat blankly and did not answer.

When Gu Mingyu turned on the light, he saw tears running down his cheeks, and he was crying silently.

"Dad, where did the panda go? Did you see it?" Gu Mingyu was even more frightened, her voice trembling.The panda has been with him since he was eight years old, and has been raised for seven or eight years. He even saved his life when he was a child. Gu Mingyu has long regarded it as his family.

"Same as you, I didn't see it looking around when I came back, but I couldn't find it no matter what..." Gu Huaili raised his hand and covered his eyes with the back of his hand, "Then I went to ask her, and she said..."

"It is extremely unlucky for a panda to step on the snow with four hooves, so Xu Gang sold it."

"Sold!? Where did you sell it?!" The panda is already an eight-year-old dog. It has been raised by them for a long time, and it can go home by itself if it gets lost. Who would buy it as a pet?

Gu Huaili covered his mouth and cried while trembling, he had long regarded the panda as his family, "Sold it to a dog dealer—"

Gu Mingyu turned around and ran out. A few years ago, eating dog meat suddenly became popular in the county. The market was in short supply and many unscrupulous traders stole dogs everywhere. , from snatching to trading.

"Mingyu don't go - you won't get it back!" Gu Huaili chased out of the courtyard, it was raining again outside, Gu Mingyu didn't even open his umbrella, "Mingyu is back!"

Gu Mingyu turned a deaf ear and ran wildly outside. He couldn't blame his seriously ill mother and his brother who listened to his mother's words, and only wanted to get the panda back.The night rain pattered on his face, and his thin clothes were soon soaked, and the cold air soaked his body, but he didn't seem to feel it.

After running for more than 20 minutes, Gu Mingyu came to a night snack shed market. This is the place where dog meat is supplied the most in the county. Greenhouses are lined up on both sides of the road. The stove faces the road. Leftovers and waste water are dumped directly on the ground. Clogged by perennial oil pollution, as long as it rains, water will accumulate everywhere, and the whole street is dirty and messy.

There is a cage in front of almost every shed, which is filled with all kinds of dogs. The cage is so small that there are many dogs, and it is too full to move. The dogs can only look out with aggrieved eyes and occasionally wail. Sobbing, I think I know my own fate.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Gu Mingyu stood in the rain, the rain dripped into his eyes along the tips of his hair, he wiped his eyes while wading through the sewage and called the names of the pandas as he walked by one by one, like a crazy person.

Someone asked him what he was here for, and he replied: "I came to look for my dog. It is very old. It is a black and white dog with a white face. Only the eyes are black. It looks like a panda. May I ask if you have seen it? ?"

Most people shook their heads and looked at him with sympathetic eyes. The rain at night was icy cold, and the child turned blue from the cold. It’s just that it’s not uncommon for parents to sell their dogs to find children. It’s impossible for their sympathy to return to sympathy If you don't do business, you basically ignore it.

But there was also one who pointed disapprovingly at the one that had been slaughtered and skinned in the basin beside him and said to Mingyu, "Go find it there."

Then he looked at Mingyu's widened eyes and laughed.

Gu Mingyu ignored him, clenched his fists and lowered his head to look at the collars scattered on the side - most of the dogs didn't wear collars, and a small number of butchers didn't bother to take them off, so they picked them up with a knife and discarded them at the cutting board.Gu Mingyu didn't dare to look at the bloody bodies that had been slaughtered and skinned, so he had to bend down and grope on the ground. Fortunately, there were no panda dog tags among them. Gu Mingyu got up, straightened his back and left the shop.

The young man was tall and thin, his shirt wet by the rain was sticking translucently to his body, Ji Linyuan was hiding from the rain under the eaves far away, and he saw him at a glance.

Ji Linyuan, who is already in the third year of high school, is busy with his studies while working part-time after evening self-study - he will go to college soon, and he has not saved enough for his tuition.

Gu Mingyu, who was wet by the rain, had a soul-stirring beauty, and Ji Linyuan couldn't move his eyes from him.Maybe it was his worried expression on the verge of crying that made people feel distressed, maybe Ji Linyuan wanted to know what he was doing, after watching for a few seconds, Ji Linyuan followed him involuntarily.

Ji Linyuan followed him, drenched in the rain with him, and heard that he was looking for his dog. After finally finding it, he couldn't buy it back because he didn't bring any money.Seeing that the big dog was about to be slaughtered, the young man showed a look of despair, Ji Linyuan took out the living expenses for the next week in his pocket without thinking, and handed it over.

Gu Mingyu looked at him in surprise at first, but he didn't notice when this tall boy was standing behind him.

Ji Linyuan just smiled at him and then threw himself into bargaining with the boss - it's a bit embarrassing to say, Ji Linyuan doesn't have enough money.When I bought it, it cost 60 yuan a piece, and when I sold it, I sold it by the catty. Pandas... are a bit overweight.

Although Ji Linyuan is shy by nature, he has a lot of experience in saving money, and he has a posture of not giving up until he reaches his goal. After talking for a long time, he finally cut down the price.

As soon as the panda came out of the cage, it whined and circled around Gu Mingyu's feet. It also had human nature, knowing that it was the tall man behind the little master who rescued it, and ran to rub his legs while walking.Ji Linyuan scratched the back of his head, and wanted to tell Gu Mingyu that he was going to be late for part-time work, but when he saw his pale face and walked forward without a word, he felt worried, so he followed him all the time.

When Li walked quickly to the shed, he saw the young man in front of him suddenly bent down and squatted on the ground. Ji Linyuan was shocked and hurried over to help him.

I don't know when the rain has stopped. Ji Linyuan is so hot that he only wears a single shirt in the winter, and he doesn't feel cold. It's just that when he holds those slender and beautiful hands, he feels that the temperature of the other party is frighteningly low. Looking at his forehead full It was cold sweat, eyes closed and teeth clenched, Ji Linyuan was terrified.

"You, what's wrong with you?"

There were throbbing pains in her stomach, as if being held, squeezed and released by a big hand. Gu Mingyu only felt that the voice came from a very far away place, but she couldn't really hear it clearly in her ears. The body around her was very warm. It was so warm that he couldn't help reaching out and hugging her tightly.

Ji Linyuan shivered when he was hugged. Gu Mingyu's body was too cold, which was in stark contrast to his body temperature. Even if Ji Linyuan had never been sick since childhood, he knew that Gu Mingyu must be sick, and the illness was not serious, so he copied it immediately. His legs picked him up and he ran to a nearby clinic.

Gu Mingyu is not short, and his weight is proportional to his height. Fortunately, Ji Linyuan is the 1% that Gu Mingyu can't despise, and because of years of physical labor, he has become strong and strong, so it doesn't take much effort to lift Gu Mingyu who is nine centimeters shorter than him. Because of the fast pace, the panda almost couldn't keep up with him.

Gu Mingyu was sent to the nearest clinic, lying on a crude hospital bed, dazedly saw an elderly doctor coming to check his body, and then turned to ask a figure who was so tall that it was almost on top of the roof.

"Did he say where it hurts?"

"No, it just...seems to be cold."

"What is the patient's usual medical history?"

"Uh...don't know."

"Are you allergic to medicine?"

"……do not know."

"Then what do you know?" The old doctor was a little annoyed, and the volume was a little louder.

Gu Mingyu frowned, and let out a low moan of dissatisfaction.The originally obsequious tall man lowered his voice angrily and said, "You are a doctor and I am not. I sent it here for your diagnosis. If you can't make a diagnosis, don't waste your time. We can change clinics!"

Gu Mingyu didn't know what happened next, he remembered holding his stomach and throwing up in the dark, and when he woke up again, he had already changed to a different place, a different white and clean ward with a soft bed underneath , There is also a bottle filled with hot water next to the infusion.

It was bright outside, and it was already the second day. Gu Mingyu asked the nurse, and after learning that the panda was at the door, she settled down and took out the PHS in her pocket. When she found that the PHS was out of power, she borrowed a charger to plug it in again. , Gu Huaili called as soon as he turned on the phone.

He didn't return all night, which frightened Gu Huaili, and no one answered the phone call. He searched all over the place with all his friends, and now he got in touch and heard that he was in the clinic. Where could he sit still? He got out of the car and ran over to pick him up—it was originally bought for Mingzhu as a dowry, but Mingzhu refused to take it and stayed.

This is a private clinic. The environment and service are very good. It is not far from the place where he fainted, but the price is relatively higher. Gu Mingyu heard that the person who brought him here had already paid and left, so she asked the nurse I asked for a note and left my PHS number, which said: Thank you very much for your help, I hope you can contact me when you see this note, and I will pay off the money owed to you.

Signed by Gu Mingyu.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Mingyu was sent to the provincial capital hospital by Gu Huai without stopping, and underwent a series of examinations such as a painless gastroscopy. Unexpectedly, the PHS was stolen in the hospital that afternoon.

After getting the note, Ji Linyuan, who had done a lot of psychological training, finally plucked up the courage to dial the number-although helping others should not ask for anything in return, but Ji Linyuan really needs money, and he just wants to use it himself. , by the way... If there is a chance, it would be great to be friends with Gu Mingyu.

It's just that when the call was connected, the person who answered the phone over there scolded him in a foreign dialect, and then the call was hung up, and he couldn't get through again.

Ji Linyuan: "???"

Wait - that means I won't have money to eat for the next two weeks? !

Although he was very happy to finally know Gu Mingyu's name, Ji Linyuan was also very miserable. He spent more than 100 yuan to buy a dog, and went to a bank ATM to withdraw 200 yuan when he was treating Gu Mingyu.Ji Linyuan didn't dare to move the rest because he was afraid that the tuition fee would not be enough, so he used the change left over from seeing a doctor that day to buy dried noodles, and brazenly borrowed the landlord's kitchen to cook water noodles every day-he planned to eat like this for the next two weeks.

The landlord didn’t say anything, and often left him some cooking leftovers for him to add to the noodles. Zhuo Lei’s mother was reluctant, saying that he used a gas stove to cook the noodles, and the landlord would not charge him. Why should she have to charge extra for gas when cooking? Zhuo Lei's mother thought the landlord charged too much for meals, so she bought ingredients for cooking.

Ji Linyuan didn't want them to make an ugly mess, so he had to borrow money from his classmates to make up the gas bill.

Gu Mingyu was originally weak, and it was raining that day, and while suffering from the cold, he was also frightened, and suddenly his body couldn't stand it and he developed a stomach problem.

This disease has been ill for less than half a month, and his face, which was still a little round with baby fat, became pointy. Gu Huaili joked that his chin could poke people.

Gu Mingyu looked at his father's black and blue eyes and felt a little guilty. His mother was already seriously ill, and the family lacked someone to take care of him. It was really undeserved for him to be sick again.

Neither Gu Huaili nor Mingyu could blame Hu Zhen, and they didn't dare to bring the panda home, so they had to live with their aunt's house. Fortunately, the little cousin liked the panda very much, and often bathed it and took it for a walk.

Hearing that Hu Zhen was ill, my aunt's family also came back and brought back a cousin who was about the same age as the little cousin—blood relationship is really a wonderful thing, the little cousin is eight years old this year, and looks exactly like Gu Mingyu when she was a child.

After all, Xu Gang and Gu Huaili are men, and it is difficult for Hu Zhen to turn over now, so it is inconvenient to take care of her, so my aunt and aunt took turns to take care of Hu Zhen at Gu's house, so Gu Huaili only had time to stay in the provincial capital for half a month to accompany Gu Mingyu .

When Gu Mingyu came home, it happened to be the college entrance examination, and the school was on holiday. After returning to school after the college entrance examination, he wanted to find the classmate who helped him that day—Gu Mingyu vaguely remembered that the other party was wearing the No. [-] middle school uniform that day.

It's just that the senior three students have already finished the college entrance examination at this time, and they don't need to come to school except for the later assessment and filling of volunteers. Ji Linyuan was introduced to work in the factory early on to earn the rest of the tuition fees.In addition, although Ji Linyuan is tall and eye-catching, he is low-key and not talkative. The students in the second year of high school only heard that there was a 1.9-meter mangzi (the local dialect refers to tall people) in the third year of high school, but they didn't know his name or class.
