The room was quiet. The dying old man tried his best to open his eyes and look at the young man beside the bed. The young man beside the bed looked at the ceiling and fell into deep thinking.
God collects people, treat them or not
"I need a priest..." Professor Yade broke the silence in the room with a weak voice.
Ning Tao's thinking had no results. He sat by the bed and looked at the skinny Professor Yade. He was silent for a moment and then said: "If you have anything you want to talk about, you can talk to me. It's just you and me here. "
"I need a priest... I want to confess to him..." Professor Yarde said.
Ning Tao thought for a moment, took out an ordinary prescription book from the medicine box, and then drew a cross pattern with a pen. He placed the prescription with the cross on it next to Professor Yade's hand, then picked up his hand and placed it on the cross.
A smile appeared on the corner of Professor Yade's mouth: "Thank you... young man..."
Ning Tao said softly: "I am a good listener. You can talk about anything you want, and you can confess if you want."
"I once loved a girl..." Professor Yade said slowly, "She and I were only sixteen years old at that time, and we were studying in the same school..."
He seemed to be lost in memories, a smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes were particularly gentle.
"What's her name?" Ning Tao asked softly.
"Her name is Lucy. Her golden hair is as dazzling as the sun. She has many freckles on her face, but I think they are flower petals given to her by God... She and I fell in love. We were in the barn and on the river beach. On the bed, she did a lot of crazy things in her room... Then she had it, and I was scared... It happened that my father changed jobs and our family was moving... I didn't dare to say goodbye to her... I even deleted it I picked up her phone..." Tears rolled down from Professor Yade's eyes.
To make someone's girl pregnant, walk away, and cut off contact with her. This is something only a scumbag can do.
But Ning Tao still comforted him: "If she were here, she would definitely forgive you."
"No... When I graduated from college, I went back to look for her... I found out that shortly after I left... she committed suicide by slitting her wrists..." Professor Yade burst into tears.
Ning Tao continued to use his spiritual power to protect Professor Yade's heart, but he was thinking in his heart, can such a sin be forgiven by God by repenting? Judging from Professor Yade's current appearance, it is obvious not.
"I have never been married in my life... I studied and worked hard. I thought I would forget her, but no... These days I feel like she is back. Sometimes I see her standing outside the window... golden hair... Freckles as beautiful as petals... She just looked at me... as if she was saying something to me... "
"She must be telling you that she forgives you." Ning Tao said.
"I want to find her... But I'm worried that she is in heaven, and the place I am going to is hell..." Professor Yade looked very sad.
During this period of time, Ning Tao had completed the diagnosis using sight and hearing techniques.
Professor Yade has esophageal cancer, which is in the advanced stage. His esophagus has been blocked by cancer cells and he cannot eat. He can only survive through nutritional drips. What's worse is that his cancer cells have spread throughout his body, including the lymphatic system, liver, stomach, lungs, etc. His immune system was so destroyed by chemotherapy and organ failure that it was useless.
For such a terminal illness, even if Ning Tao has great medical skills, he still has no power to cure it.
Only now did he truly understand the meaning of "Heaven's Harvest".
God wants to accept the people, and the destiny cannot be violated. Who can save them
There is an old saying in the Chinese state that the King of Hell wants people to die at the third watch, but will not keep people until the fifth watch. Even if those people are free from illness and pain, they may not be able to come back after waking up. Even if you wake up, you may be hit by a car or hit by a flowerpot falling from upstairs.
Professor Yard went on and on about many things that he considered sinful.
Ning Tao listened quietly, occasionally speaking to comfort or enlighten. This old man did indeed do a very bad thing and killed a young girl and his own child. However, he never married and spent every day atonement for his sins. This persistence deserves his comfort and enlightenment.
"I heard them say that there is a miracle doctor from China who wants to treat me... Are you that miracle doctor?"
Ning Tao nodded, he well deserved the title of miracle doctor.
Professor Yade asked again: "Can you cure me?"
Ning Tao was silent for a moment before shaking his head: "I can't cure you, but I can make you live a little longer."
"No, I have lived enough. If I stay in this world for one more minute, I will suffer for one more minute... Don't treat me... okay?"
Ning Tao was silent again. Until this moment, he still had not made that decision.
Although he knew that destiny could not be violated and it could not be cured, he had many means to let Professor Yade live a few more months. Even if a doctor in a hospital knows that the patient will die, he can't kick the patient out, right? It is also necessary to prescribe some painkillers, give an intravenous drip, etc., to at least allow the patient to live a little longer or walk a little easier. But here, he can do better. He has the ability to extend Professor Yade's life for a few months. Unexpectedly, before he could decide whether to do this, Professor Yade came to beg him not to treat him.
After a brief silence, Ning Tao said: "Professor Yade, I understand your mood and I respect your decision, but people outside don't think so. They asked me to treat you, but I don't I know you refuse treatment and I need to call them in. Do you want to talk to them? "
"No... what they want is not me... but my research results... I have nothing to talk about with them..."
Ning Tao has always been curious about what Professor Yade is studying, but all the Ruitian people he has come into contact with are silent. He tentatively said: "Professor Yade, I am the last person to chat with you in your life. , would you like to tell me what you are studying?"
"Semiotics... I have been particularly interested in the mysterious symbols in ancient monuments since I was a child. I have been studying various symbols all my life... "
Ning Tao suddenly became curious. Semiotics was definitely an unpopular subject among unpopular subjects. He had never heard of anyone studying semiotics specifically, and he seemed to have never heard of any university offering this major. But even if Professor Yade has extraordinary attainments in the field of semiotics and is deciphering some runes, it won't make the Ruitian royal family so nervous about his condition, right
Then, he thought of the symbols carved on the pebbles that he had photographed among the ruins of the Yinyue people.
The runes of cultivators are actually also symbols.
"The ancestors of the Kagu family obtained a book written with runes in ancient Rome. I spent all my life and gave everything I could to unlock part of the secret... That part of the secret is about planting. …”
Ning Tao asked curiously: "About planting?"
"Yes, the crops and flowers grown using the method in the book will be different from the crops and flowers grown normally. They are more lush, better, and more perfect... Ahem..." A string of coughs ended Professor Yade's words.
Ning Tao took off the oxygen mask on his mouth and nose and fed him a high-quality prescription pill.
"I don't take medicine..." Professor Yade was very repelled and wanted to spit out the high-quality prescription pill.
However, the high-quality prescription elixir melted within a few seconds of entering his mouth, and his vitality immediately increased exponentially, and there was actually a little blood on his gray-black face.
Professor Yade glared at Ning Tao, and he seemed to feel that he had been deceived.
Ning Tao said: "Don't get me wrong, I just want you to feel more comfortable now. I can let you go without pain."
"I won't believe you anymore, get out!" Professor Yade was really angry.
Ning Tao said: "If you want to go to hell with those secrets, I can leave now. But what I want to tell you is that maybe this is your chance to atone. You may go to heaven to meet Lucy."
"Are you... telling the truth?" Professor Yade's eyes were full of doubts.
Ning Tao stretched out his right hand, and a day of spiritual fire suddenly emerged from his palm.
"This is..." Professor Yade was stunned.
Ning Tao collected the spiritual fire and then said: "I don't know how to explain it to you, but I practice the way of heaven, and I am also the spokesperson of the way of heaven. Maybe if we meet here, that is God's will. I will say So much, if you still want me to leave, I will leave, and everything about you has nothing to do with me.”
"You promise me a condition."
"What conditions."
Professor Yade raised his left hand. There was a very ordinary ring on his little finger that looked to be decades old.
"Lucy gave this to me. She also had one. She was buried in the village where she and I grew up, on the hillside behind her house. Can you bury it under her tombstone?" Professor De's voice was full of pleading.
Ning Tao nodded: "I can promise you."
Professor Yade wanted to raise his hand to take off the ring, but he couldn't.
Ning Tao reached over and took off the ring, then put it into the small medicine box: "Don't worry, I promised you, I will do it, and I will also tell you the story of atonement for your life. Tell her."
"Thank you." Professor Yade seemed to have opened up something in his heart, and his whole body relaxed.
Ning Tao said: "Can you tell me your secret now?"
Yade said: "I deciphered part of the content from that book, and then did related experiments, using a kind of cyan soil to grow plants... "
Green soil.
Ning Tao's heart suddenly shook, wasn't he talking about spiritual soil
"But my experiments were never able to achieve the results described in the book, but even then, the plants I cultivated were excellent, and the seeds harvested from the experiments also improved Ruitian's agricultural yield and quality... "
This is why the Ruitian royal family is nervous about Professor Yade. Although Ruitian is a developed country, it is essentially a large agricultural country with unique resources. The seeds cultivated by Professor Yade can improve the yield and quality of Ruitian's agriculture, which is indeed of infinite value to Ruitian. Because no matter how science and technology develops, people will always have to eat, and countries based on agriculture will never be eliminated. If they lead the world in the agricultural field, this is not a historical opportunity for Ruitian to return to the hegemony of Northern Europe in the 16th century!
