Life is like a journey

This is a mature tourist scenic spot located in the outskirts of Jinzhou City. Lu Qingshi came here once when he was building a team with his unit, but he didn't know that there was another cave in the middle of the mountain.

The antique building was hung with a farmhouse sign, Gu Yanzhi said a few words to the boss, and then was taken to the brightly lit live ammunition shooting range in the back mountain.

Lu Qingshi was slightly surprised, a smell of gunpowder smoke rushed into his nostrils, Gu Yanzhi dragged her while walking and introduced.

"This is a 22LR civilian pistol, this is MP5, AUG, this is a domestically produced Type 95, and it is also one of the most common automatic rifles in the army today"

She held it in her hand and weighed it. The cold texture of the metal made people feel a little nostalgic. In the end, she chose to put it down and picked up a civilian pistol/gun.

"Play this?"

Lu Qingshi shook his head, and picked up the 95-style she had touched just now, it was so heavy...

She pressed down on her wrist, and Gu Yanzhi quickly supported her with his hand: "Be careful, even though it's empty, it still hurts when it hits you."

The doctor pursed the corners of his lips, a little unconvinced: "Play this"

Gu Yanzhi smiled: "Are you sure?"

Lu Qing nodded, and a staff member came over to check their ID cards and register. Gu Yanzhi took out a red ID card from his coat pocket and handed it over. The staff member in camouflage uniform looked at her in awe, and raised his hand. A military salute.

Gu Yanzhi also returned one, and after a while, a brand new rifle and a string of orange live ammunition were handed into his hand.

Lu Qingshi looked at her eagerly, swallowed, Gu Yanzhi who was holding a gun seemed to be a different person, a murderous look overflowed from his brows and eyes, she glanced at her, and Lu Qingshi involuntarily took a step back.

"Stand back a little more"

She took a few steps back, calibrating, aiming, and shooting in one go. She didn't even see how she shot. The moving target on the opposite side was wiped out, and the electronic display kept changing: ten rings, ten rings, ten rings , ten rings...

Even with earphones on, the eardrums were still buzzing. Lu Qingshi looked at her in shock, while Gu Yanzhi stroked the hot gun barrel, narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he turned around to look at her, he smiled softly.

The gentle fire instructor is back.

Lu Qingshi's heart relaxed, and she inspired his fighting spirit: "I want to play too."

A staff member wanted to step forward to give guidance, but Gu Yanzhi waved his hand: "No, I'll be fine."

Standing posture is not suitable for novices, Lu Qingshi lay on the sandbag, Gu Yanzhi took off his coat, revealing the camouflage short sleeves inside, and lay behind her.

"Hold here, put the butt of the gun against the hollow of your shoulder, and keep your elbow at the same level as your shoulder..." Lu Qingshi's brow was dripping with sweat, she bit her lip, and Gu Yanzhi put his hand on her shoulder.

"It's okay, aim here, I will help you offset part of the recoil"

Everything was ready, her posture was adjusted, her breathing slowed down, and her hand pulled the trigger. Lu Qingshi was quite confident in herself.

"I should be able to hit it"

Gu Yanzhi smiled next to her ear, and his warm breath brushed against her face, and when he was too close, her ears turned pink.

"You Can't Hit"

The doctor was not convinced: "Then what if I get hit?"

Gu Yanzhi looked at her: "What do you want to do?"

Lu Qing also looked back at her, lowered his voice and said: "You are down there"

The fire instructor raised his eyebrows indifferently, anyway, she couldn't hit the target, remembering that it took her a week to hit the target when she practiced shooting, she didn't believe that Lu Qing could shoot the bullet to the target in just one hour.

"Okay, but I don't think you should have this chance"

"Really?" Lu Qingshi ignored her, concentrated on aiming, took a deep breath, and pulled the trigger. The first shot was emptied, the second shot was emptied, and the third shot hit the wall next to it, splashing lime.

After ten rounds were fired, Lu Qingshi's back was drenched with sweat, and her elbows were so sore that she couldn't even lift them up, especially her shoulders. Gu Yanzhi had helped her offset most of the recoil, but the pain was still burning.

Looking at the motionless electronic display in front of her, she bit her lips in frustration. Gu Yanzhi comforted her: "It's okay, it's the same when I was shooting a target for the first time..."

As soon as the words fell, the staff ran over with the target paper, wanted to laugh but held back: "Miss Lu hit the target next to her."

Lu Qingshi took it over and looked at the two seven rings, immediately beaming with joy: "It's a deal, don't go back on your word."

Anyway, she didn't say which target she hit.

Gu Yanzhi coughed earth-shatteringly.

Lu Qingshi took out his mobile phone to take a picture of the target paper, and sent a message casually.

"She is really good. The first time I hit a target, I succeeded."

After a while Qin Xuan commented: [Smiling] Xiu En loves her so fast.

Lu Qingshi held the phone in his hand and laughed, it was unadulterated and genuinely happy, Gu Yanzhi leaned over and said, "What are you looking at, show me."

"No..." She put away the phone, and she was about to reach out to snatch it, the two of them got into a fight again, and what finally made them stop was each other's stomach grunting at the same time.

Lu Qingshi: "I'm hungry"

Gu Yanzhi: "Me too"

"Let's go eat"

"Okay" Lu Qingshi obediently put away his phone and followed her.

"Senior brother, I'm here to pick up the film of the thirteenth bed." Just as Yu Gui pushed the door open, he almost bumped into someone.

The doctor in the imaging department breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her, but his brows and eyes were still anxious: "This is a scan of the thirteenth bed, hurry up, call the family members, and contact the whole hospital for consultation as soon as possible."

Yu Gui took a look out of the video bag, broke out in a cold sweat, turned around and ran: "I see, thank you brother!"

"Guess how much I love you?" Fu Lei leaned over and rubbed the tip of her nose.

"Oh, I can't guess that"

The itching and numbness of the stubble made the little girl giggle. The infusion tube was attached to the back of her hand, but she still tried her best to open her arm.

"I love you as high as I raise my hand!"

Fu Lei smiled, turned his back and wiped the corners of his eyes, opened the picture book and continued. It was unimaginable that the mature and stable president of the group in front of outsiders would also tell children's stories with emotion.

Yu Gui's hand knocking on the door stopped in mid-air.

She saw that Fu Lei could not stretch his hand any longer: "I love you, much more than you!"

"I love you as far as this path extends to the river." The little girl's voice was as clear as a silver bell.

"I love you over the river and over the hills," said Big Rabbit.

The book in Fu Lei's hand turned a page lightly, Peipei was a little sleepy, and Xiaoxiao yawned, still thinking about the plot of the story.

"I love you to the moon"

The big rabbit in the book put the little rabbit on the small bed made of leaves, and Fu Lei tucked the quilt tightly for her.

"Good night, I love you to the moon and back from the moon"

The moon was shining outside the window, and the air after the snow was bitter and fresh. Pepe hugged her father's neck tightly.

"Dad, I don't want to die. I won't be able to listen to your story about the big rabbit and the little rabbit after I die."

Fu Lei's eyes became hot, and he kissed her forehead: "With daddy here, you won't die."

"Then can I stop the pain?"

Pepe touched her stomach, it was always disobedient, and it hurt from time to time. She wanted to run and jump like other children, go to kindergarten, play football, roll in the sand, jump rubber bands, and turn flower ropes , eat delicious ice cream, she has never eaten ice cream, because Dad said it would make her stomach hurt worse.

"Yes, as long as you sleep well, any wish can come true."

Pepe closed her eyes obediently: "Good night, Dad, today my wish is to eat strawberry ice cream"

Fu Lei patted her head, patted her back once and for all, coaxing her to sleep.

Fu Lei didn't get up quietly until the little person on the bed fell into a deep sleep. Yu Gui had been waiting outside the door for a long time. She was holding a video bag in her hand and was about to hand it over when someone pushed her back.

Fu Lei smiled, with a haggard face: "Don't show it to me, no matter which hospital the test results are the same"

Based on her experience so far, Yu Gui only knows that this little girl's stomach is full of tumors, large and small, which severely squeeze the internal organs, involving almost all organs in the abdomen and chest, even the edge of the heart, not to mention the pancreas The superior mesenteric artery was damaged. In other words, her body was a breeding ground for tumors, and conventional surgery could not completely remove them.

She has never seen relevant reports in domestic and foreign literature, cases, and textbooks.

That's why Yu Gui was so shocked, he squeezed the film in his hand tightly: "Is there... is there no other way?"

Fu Lei took out his lighter to smoke, but put it back when he saw the no-smoking sign on the wall: "Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted drugs...we have tried every method we can think of at home and abroad."

Yu Gui was dejected, she forgot that the man in front of her was not only the president of the medical group, but also an excellent surgeon, and there was nothing he could do about it, so... why did she come to Renji Medical University? ?

"Did you mention Lele to you when you were young?"

Yu Gui shook his head: "She never mentioned her matter to me"

Fu Lei smiled, with a bitter smile: "That's right, this is in line with her character"

"Who is Lele?"

"It's Pepe's half-brother"

Yu Gui was startled suddenly, a great fear rose in his heart: "Could it be..."

Fu Lei pressed the unlit cigarette butt against the railing: "It's also because of this disease that I died. That operation was performed by Qing Shi, and of course the result—"

He smiled wryly, and now thinking of that scene, he was still in pain. He grabbed his hair with his hands, and his voice was painful. At this moment, he is not a president, nor a doctor, he is just a father who lost his beloved son.

"Lele died, and Qingshi and I also parted ways. She went overseas. I gave up my job as a doctor and concentrated on doing research. Over the years, my research topic has been how to overcome neuroblastoma, not only for Lele , for Pepe, and for more children with this rare disease”

Neuroblastoma, a tumor whose name she had never heard, was etched in her mind ever since.

At four o'clock in the morning, the last doctor on duty went to the lounge for a short rest.

Yu Gui's computer was always on, and there was cold coffee in hand.

A large cast-iron pot was set up in the open space, with a blazing bonfire underneath. The wild game of this season is very fat. The game is plucked, washed, bled, dipped in salt, seasoned and then poured into good white wine. Stir fry for a few minutes. After a while, the vigorous aroma burst out immediately.

Lu Qing sniffed, wrapped her military overcoat and sat around the bonfire, added another firewood into it, and the fire crackled, coating her side face with a layer of golden light.

It's not the tourist season, the farmhouse is almost full of hospitable locals and some volunteers who have been working here for a long time.

I don't know who played the music first, and someone danced. Around the bonfire, young men and women stepped on drums, swayed their waists, flaunted their youth and sweated.

A hand was stretched out in front of her, and she looked up. It was a young boy in his 20s, looking at her with sincere and passionate eyes.

"Ma'am, may I ask you to dance?"

There was a hint of embarrassment on Lu Qingshi's face: "That..."

Someone pulled her up from the haystack, and Gu Yanzhi held her shoulders: "Her dance partner is me."

The boy shrugged and went to find another target.

"I won't," she muttered, leaning on her shoulder.

Gu Yanzhi pretended to be calm: "It's okay, I won't either"

The exchange and collision of shoulders and shoulders, I don't know how many times they stepped on each other, they held hands and danced a clumsy dance under the moonlight.

But it doesn't matter, who will remember, even after many, many years, on the far east coast of the Mediterranean Sea, what Lu Qing thinks of is the cool evening breeze of this night, her gentle amber pupils, and the faint smile on the corner of her mouth , and the song she played and sang to her.

She had found a guitar somewhere, and someone was beating a tambourine to her beat.

The low and magnetic voice was sent far away by the night wind, she heard her singing, and a beam of light seemed to be cast on her.

"You are the hot wave of summer in September"

"You are the longing for the sudden heavy rain"

"You are a dream of flying over mountains and rivers"

She plucked the strings, looked through the crowd, and her girl propped her chin and looked at her gently through the firelight.

The voice suddenly became tender.

"You are the young beauty of the southern hemisphere"

"Your name is..."

"memorable"

Lu Qingshi's eyes overflowed with tiny pieces of water. She obviously didn't drink, but she felt a little drunk, and there was bursts of warmth flowing in her chest.

Gu Yanzhi was still singing, so she kept listening until the night was over, and people were full of wine and food, and went back to their rooms to sleep.

The bonfire was still burning in the open space. Gu Yanzhi was packing her guitar when someone patted her on the shoulder. It was the girl who had just helped her play the tambourine.

She could tell at a glance that they were the same kind.

"Can I add a friend? You sing very well"

Gu Yanzhi zipped up the piano bag: "Sorry, my girlfriend is still waiting for me"

"Someone hit on you," Lu Qingshi was still looking back.

Gu Yanzhi hugged her shoulders, and turned her head to him: "Not as good as you"

"What if someone is prettier than me?"

"Impossible, you look the best in my heart"

"glib"

"Is it oily or not, don't you know?"

Lu Qingshi poked her with his elbow, Gu Yanzhi smiled and hugged her tighter, and whispered in her ear: "Hurry up and go back to take a shower, we still have things to do."

The words were ambiguous, Lu Qing blushed suddenly: "It was only last night..."

"Hmm..." Gu Yanzhi thought about it: "But I still really want to."

Whether she couldn't hold back her softness, grinding, hardening, foaming, everything that should have happened still happened, she was always very gentle and patient, the curtains swayed gently in the breeze, Lu Qing closed his eyes, and heard the sound of flowers blooming.

She loved her appearance very much, but she was not willing to toss too much, but just picked her up to drink water and take a bath in one round.

When she came back with wet hair, Lu Qingshi was kneeling on the bed and searching for something. When she went to bed, the man leaned over and something shiny flashed past her fingertips. Before she could notice it, she flicked her little finger. cold.

A ring was put on.

Lu Qingshi showed a faint smile, his eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.

"Very suitable"

Gu Yanzhi looked at the diamond ring in the dark, touched and touched, looked and looked again, and finally felt a sense of belonging as a fallen leaf returning to its roots.

"Ah...it seems that mine has no chance to be sent out"

She has always carried it with her, and she wanted to give it to her tonight, but unexpectedly, she was snatched first.

"Eh? You too?" Lu Qingshi looked at her in surprise.

Gu Yanzhi nodded, and hugged him into his arms: "Well, I bought it a long time ago."

The two little fingers hooked together and rubbed each other. The warm texture of the metal and the warmth of her body made the doctor narrow his eyes and smile slightly.

"The heart has a good heart"

"Hmm..." She knew she was sleepy, and had already started to yawn with her fist against her mouth, and kissed her forehead.

"good night"

"Gu Yanzhi, will you take it off?"

she asked in a daze.

She answered seriously.

"will not"

"Won't we break up?"

"will not"

"Won't I die?"

"will not"

"I……"

Gu Yanzhi sealed her lips: "Shut up and sleep"

After her breathing became steady, Gu Yanzhi opened his eyes in the darkness.

Regardless of whether you are here or not, what will become of us in the future, I will always wear it, and when I am old, I will bury it in the grave with me, and I will wear it to find you in the next life.

No one can separate us.

Nobody can.
