Chapter 638 A spontaneous trip
The National Bone Marrow Bank has only found one registered volunteer so far, but the other party is a member of a minority ethnic group, a minority that was registered fifteen years ago. The remaining information files are very vague. It will probably take a lot of time to get in touch with him.
But the uncle’s situation can’t wait.
His condition suddenly worsened and he was admitted to the emergency room last night. After he came out of the emergency room, the doctor issued a critical illness notice and set a deadline for the uncle.
Two months.
Lu Yuanqiu was a little confused when he heard the deadline.
The father-like figure in the dormitory was doomed to die in everyone's minds.
Lu Yuanqiu stood in the hospital ward, holding the girl's hand tightly. He looked at the uncle sitting on the hospital bed. The uncle's originally dark skin had turned into a sickly gray, and there was no trace of blood on his lips.
I heard my aunt crying nearby, and I could tell that she was trying to suppress her sadness. In fact, my aunt had been numb inside during this period of time. After all, she hadn't heard any good news since she raised enough money.
The reason why I couldn't hold back my tears today was, firstly, because I received the notice of my husband's critical illness, and secondly, because it was the first time I saw so many people coming to visit my husband.
It turns out that there are so many people in this world that she doesn't know, and they are reluctant to see her husband leave this world.
Lu Yuanqiu asked, "Where are the two younger brothers?"
"Sent him home." The aunt put her hand down, pointed at the uncle on the bed, and responded with a sob, "He doesn't want the two kids to see him like this."
The uncle didn't even raise his head, but just raised his arms tiredly: "What are you doing here? It affects your studies..."
Maybe it was due to chemotherapy, but his voice had changed and became very hoarse. Lu Yuanqiu was unable to connect the haggard-faced man in front of him with the uncle who liked to sit in the corner and watch everyone smile.
He felt very sad and powerless at this moment.
A lot of people came today, and they were all present. They were from the men's dormitories 401 and 402, and the women's dormitories 306, including Qiang with buck teeth, Ding Wanjun, Su Miaomiao, and Liu Wangchun.
Everyone stood in a row, no one spoke.
"It's not treatment anymore... Don't waste money. Keep the money and take it easy. You've worked so hard for this family for so long. It's time to take a break." The uncle still had his head down, his voice intermittent, speaking in dialect. Everyone in the ward knew who he was talking to.
Su Miaomiao hurried over and hugged her aunt who wanted to speak but was already sobbing. She thought that this was the most desperate moment for a wife.
"Everyone, it's better not to have so many people standing in the ward." A voice suddenly came from the door. Everyone turned around. It was the doctor.
Lu Yuanqiu gestured to the others and patted Bai Qingxia. The others walked out with heavy steps, leaving only three people from Room 401 in the entire ward. No, four people.
"Uncle."
The Taoist priest called out softly and sat down beside the bed.
The uncle raised his head and looked at Lu Yuanqiu, Xu Siyang and Finkel with a dazed look, the three children he had taken good care of in the dormitory.
The uncle seemed to want to force a smile, but he didn't have the energy to do so. He just asked in a hoarse voice: "Is this... our dormitory?"
Lu Yuanqiu also sat down beside the bed and nodded: "Yes, uncle, look how clean our dormitory is after you clean it."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and waved to Finkel, but Finkel shook his head and didn't have the courage to come closer.
"Don't lie to me, Xiaoqiu, my eyes are not blurry. This is a ward." The uncle smiled with his eyes closed.
Lu Yuanqiu looked at him, lowered his head and said nothing.
The uncle then patted his hands and said weakly, "Xiao Qiu, I have always felt that you are the most adult among them. Can you help me make the decision?"
Lu Yuanqiu: "Uncle, please tell me."
The uncle made his signature head-scratching gesture this time, but this time he was scratching his bald head. He narrated from his hospital bed:
"I watched a movie a few days ago called The Bucket List. I don't want to be treated anymore. Can you take me out for a walk and a look during the winter vacation? It's okay. I promise that everything that happens during this period has nothing to do with you. I've lived a very boring life. Please let me have fewer regrets before I leave..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanqiu and Xu Siyang looked at each other and said nothing.
He came out of the ward and was about to discuss this matter with his aunt, when Liu Wangchun suddenly came over holding Bai Qingxia's hand and asked seriously, "Lu Yuanqiu, do you dare to do something big with me?"
Lu Yuanqiu stared at her: "What's the matter?"
Bai Qingxia looked at Liu Wangchun with some trepidation, while Liu Wangchun said to Lu Yuanqiu, "This hospital is a waste. We can't find the volunteer. Let's find one ourselves. I just asked the doctor for a place name."
Bai Qingxia thought of the scene where Liu Wangchun pulled the doctor's collar just now.
Lu Yuanqiu sighed helplessly: "Calm down. The hospital can't find it not because it's a waste, but because it's been too long. The information in the archives has become blurred. Their way of finding volunteers must be more professional than ours. We were just looking for a needle in a haystack in the past."
In fact, the doctor said the same thing, but Liu Wangchun felt that it was more convincing when heard from her good friend. She panted, leaned against the wall, and fell silent.
Lu Yuanqiu thought for a moment, then said to Liu Wangchun, "Can I use your RV this time?"
Liu Wangchun raised his eyes: "What?"
…
A week later, the final exams were over, and Lu Yuanqiu could not have imagined that a spontaneous trip would happen so suddenly and absurdly.
Zheng Yifeng acted as the driver of the RV, and Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia squeezed together in the cab.
In the carriage, the uncle was sitting in a wheelchair. The Taoist priest took out a pair of sunglasses from his bag and put them on the uncle's face. He also picked up a mirror and placed it in front of the uncle.
"Is he handsome?" The uncle turned his head and asked with a smile.
The Taoist priest with short hair nodded and responded: "Handsome."
The uncle gave a thumbs up and said, "Your new look is pretty handsome too."
Liu Wangchun sat aside and complained: "You two should stop bragging about each other's business."
"Hahaha."
Listening to the two people laughing, Liu Wangchun couldn't laugh. She liked to show her emotions on her face.
Today is the first day of departure, and the uncle seems unusually energetic. There are not many people coming out this time. There are three people in the cab, plus the uncle, the Taoist priest, and Liu Wangchun in the carriage, a total of only six people.
The others also wanted to follow, but Lu Yuanqiu thought about it and decided that it would be better if fewer people came out.
Zheng Yifeng: "If you only have two months left, what will you do?"
In the cab, Zheng Yifeng, who was driving, was also wearing a pair of sunglasses, and he looked extremely handsome in the reflection of the glass.
Lu Yuanqiu glanced at him: "Why do you ask such a question..."
Zheng Yifeng smiled and said, "Aren't you bored? Just talk about it."
"Or suppose you are a person who has been reborn. In two months you will return to the original timeline."
