Zheng Ren was silent, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, thinking about Xiao Shitou's words, and his heart was slightly disturbed.
"It's a really complicated life, don't you think so, brother." Xiao Shitou took a deep breath and looked in the same direction as Zheng Ren, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, and whispered.
"Fortunately, everyone would think so. A few days ago, there was a rich man in my hometown. Nothing happened after the operation. As a result, he was worried about his illness and ended up splitting into another personality."
"Split personality? This really happens! I thought it was all made up." Xiao Shitou said in surprise.
Zheng Ren told Xiao Shitou about Bu Ruotian. He really didn't know what to say. Let's just talk about something. Maybe Xiao Shitou would feel better
Maybe, who knows.
Xiao Shitou's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "It can still be like this."
"Not everyone in the adult world is as strong as you." Zheng Ren said.
"What is the world of adults? Let me call you brother while talking about the world of adults. Are you also divided?" Xiao Shitou said with a smile.
Zheng Ren felt that Xiao Shitou could definitely chat with Su Yun, and his words were very sharp.
The way the two talked... But Xiao Shitou was right, there was something wrong with his own thinking.
"What about you, how did you get here in the past half year or so?" Zheng Ren asked.
"If surgery can't be done, then I'll have to do radiotherapy and chemotherapy every day. After one course of treatment, there will be another course of treatment, never ending. I can only comfort myself, as long as I can get treatment, it will be fine. I really envy my friends who can carry their schoolbags When I went to school, I couldn't understand why they couldn't solve a very simple question." Xiao Shitou looked at the sky and said with some longing.
"Yeah." Zheng Ren nodded lightly.
"I also know that my parents are sad. They chose me between money and me, and they are worried that I will suffer too much. It's so confusing! Brother, if you grow up, will there be more tangled things?" Xiao Shitou asked.
"Yes, no matter whether you are strong or weak, whether you are rich or poor, whether you are smart or stupid, there will always be many tangled things."
"My mother was chatting with me at that time and asked me for my opinion." Xiao Shitou swung his legs, talking about other people's affairs carefreely like an ordinary child.
"how do you say?"
"Let's discuss it with her. I am a child and I have to act like a child." Xiao Shitou said, "I just feel that as long as they are happy, I don't care. Even if I don't want to leave, there is nothing I can do."
Zheng Ren smiled, this is what is called precocious wisdom.
"It's such a pity. I estimate that my disease will be cured in a few years. But the younger you are, the faster the disease progresses." Xiao Shitou said with regret: "It's really a pity."
"Didn't you just say you felt uncomfortable?"
Zheng Ren was a little relaxed. He didn't talk like a patient, but talked to Xiao Shitou like a friend.
"You have to endure the pain, and it's the same for those who got tuberculosis more than a hundred years ago. I read in a book that many people, including doctors, tried electrotherapy even though they knew it was useless. It seemed like a torture device. The details are not very clear.”
"Where's your mom?"
"She has no choice." Xiao Shitou finally sighed, "In the past six months or so, the family has spent almost all their money and the house has been sold. My dad works overtime every day and does two or three jobs. My mom stays with me full time. I just want me to be happy."
"But there's really no good way."
Zheng Ren could hear some regret in Xiao Shitou's words.
"What if there is?" Zheng Ren asked.
"Don't fool me like a child. I can't play with my mobile phone in the past six months. I read a lot of books." Xiao Shitou said: "Although the books in the library are very old, there are always some basic theories that are universal."
Zheng Ren thinks the little stone is really interesting. He talks like an adult and thinks about life like an adult. And listening to what he said, he actually took the time to go to the library to borrow medical books.
"I'm terminally ill and there's no cure. I've been like this since I was discovered half a year ago." He whispered, as if his airway was being compressed a bit. Xiao Shitou coughed twice and took a deep breath, "You Stop lying to me and say something that will make us both happy."
"I don't know what will make you happy, but I just won the Nobel Prize." Zheng Ren said, "What you read in books may not be true."
Xiao Shitou suddenly fell silent. He looked at Zheng Ren seriously, with a trace of doubt in his eyes. Zheng Ren looked at him openly and did not avoid it.
Obviously, the confusion disappeared after a few seconds, and a look of surprise appeared instead. But the surprise dissipated faster, leaving only a touch of sadness.
"That's useless, there's no money." Xiao Shitou said, "Treatment is a bottomless pit, especially for diseases like mine that cannot be cured by existing technology. As you said, there is a way, but it is probably sky-high. "
"What if we don't have to spend money?" Zheng Ren asked.
"Are you also a doctor?" Xiao Shitou's tone was very much like Su Yun's. "When I was in the hospital, many people came to hand out flyers and talk about fundraising. My mother was tempted, but I refused."
"Why?"
"It's not targeted, it's a floor-sweeping propaganda." Xiao Shitou said: "The man in the bed next to me is an old man. He is quite rich and he also handed over the materials."
Zheng Ren was silent.
"There must be a problem. I haven't studied the specific problem." Xiao Shitou smiled and said: "If you have money, just treat it. There is no need to consume other people's kindness. How many people can still remain kind now, there is no need."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and shook it casually.
"Not to mention this, what would you think if there was a way to earn some money without spending money, and have a Nobel Prize-level doctor perform the surgery on you?" Zheng Ren asked.
"Is there really such a thing as a pie in the world? Brother, don't lie to me. You want to spend your own money to treat me. The Nobel Prize comes with a bonus, and you don't seem to be short of money." Xiao Shitou Without looking at Zheng Ren, he had already had his own impression of Zheng Ren a long time ago.
"Why bother, it's not easy for you to make money. Even if you are a rich second generation, spending your parents' money will still not be easy for your parents to make money."
Zheng Ren looked at him curiously and saw that the expression on his face was a little indifferent and casual, as if he was not talking about his own life and death.
"It's a pity that I don't have time. Otherwise, if I read the Diamond Sutra twice, I would be stunned."
"It seems not that easy to bluff a Nobel Prize winner."
"Forget it, my body is getting weaker day by day. My mother sold her house a few months ago and went to Shanghai for proton and heavy ion chemotherapy. I know money can't buy my life, but I didn't persuade her. Do you know why? ?”
Zheng Ren nodded.
"It takes so much effort to talk to you." Xiao Shitou smiled and said, "Money can't buy happiness, because money is happiness itself, and I am the source of their happiness, which is more important than money."
"Seriously, I'm doing a live broadcast of the surgery. Just because your condition is special, I'm doing a live broadcast of the surgery so that more doctors can see it."
Xiao Shitou's eyes suddenly became very focused.
"They see it, and although they may not be able to learn it, they will always know that there is another way to solve the problem. Maybe there is someone as smart as you who can learn it after reading it once."
"Then what?"
"Of course the live broadcast is not for nothing, do I want to make money?" Zheng Ren said with a smile, "Three months after the operation, your parents will also receive a live broadcast fee, which is about 30,000 yuan."
"The treatment fee is free? Three months... Are you afraid that there will be problems with the operation and your family will cause trouble?"
He was really a very precocious child, Zheng Ren smiled and nodded.
Xiao Shitou pursed his lips, touched the mass on his neck with his hand, and asked softly: "Are you really sure?"
"There is no absolute certainty." Zheng Ren said truthfully, "and you will bear the pain of the operation."
"If you want to live, pain is nothing. Can you prolong your life?" Xiao Shitou's eyes were shining with hope.
"We can only give it a try." Zheng Ren finally returned to the role of doctor, speaking vaguely and unclearly.
"Brother, you are so boring." Xiao Shitou said, "You can just talk to my mother like this. There is no need to tell me. If the operation fails, I will definitely die. Is it interesting for you to play riddles with a dead man? "
Zheng Ren was stunned for a moment, he was really a very precocious child.
"Let's put it this way, with your current situation, you can only take one step at a time." Zheng Ren said, "I have read your information and the situation is not optimistic. It can even be said to be pessimistic."
"I know, what are the chances of the surgery being successful?"
"50%"
"So high!" Xiao Shitou's eyes sparkled again, and he said forcefully: "50% once, if it doesn't work, then we will do it twice!"
