As he spoke, the old man turned his head and looked at his children.
"You all go out first, I will talk to this young man."
Hearing this, all the family members got up one after another and walked towards the outside of the ward.
After Gu Hanguo and Gu Xiaoying also signaled to Lian Ge, they stepped out of the ward.
There was a sudden silence in the ward.
"Young man, don't you want me to give up the operation too?" The old man looked at Lian Ge with a smile and said.
Chapter 163 The Stubborn Old Man
In the ward.
After the voice fell, it seemed a little quiet.
The old man leaned against the head of the bed, looked at Lian Ge with a smile, and seemed to be waiting for Lian Ge's answer.
Lian Ge stopped in the aisle at the end of the bed, glanced at the medical record card pasted on the hospital bed, looked at the old man,
"Probably." Lian Ge smiled slightly, nodded his head and replied,
"...Don't say anything to persuade me." The old man sat up straight while talking, and looked at Lian Ge with some interest.
"Tell me, are you better than Dean Gu just now?"
The old man's cloudy eyes showed shrewdness, and he said with great interest:
"...Otherwise, he wouldn't ask you to talk to me when he couldn't persuade me."
"Why don't you come and operate on me, young man?"
Hearing this, Lian Ge couldn't help laughing,
"Maybe I'm better at persuading people."
"How are you going to persuade me, young man?" the old man asked with a smile.
Glancing at the old man, Lian Ge paused, looked away, and looked out the window.
"...Old man, I am not as good as my teacher in terms of medical attainments, but I still have some superficial knowledge of other things."
After a pause, Lian Ge calmed down and continued:
"My teacher told you before that the success rate of your surgery is less than [-]%, but from my point of view, you basically have no chance of leaving the operating table alive."
While talking, Lian Ge turned around and looked at the old man,
"In this case, old man, are you sure you want to have surgery?"
Hearing this, the old man glanced at Lian Ge and fell into a slight silence.
Turning his head again, the old man looked at Lian Ge, and his eyes paused on the little white mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder.
"Boy, are you a gentleman?"
Although it is a question sentence, the old man's tone reveals affirmation,
"...When I was young, there was a gentleman in the village who was very effective in divination, fortune-telling, and healing. When I was seven or eight years old, I had a high fever. After taking the medicine, the fever still didn’t go away. My parents took me to that gentleman’s house. At that time, I was in a daze with fever. I remember that gentleman gave me a bowl of medicine, but it didn’t work for an hour. Hey, my The fever subsides.
If it wasn't for that gentleman, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive until now..."
"Young man, you are a gentleman." As he spoke, the old man repeated it again.
Lian Ge heard the words, glanced at the old man, smiled slightly, but didn't answer,
Looking away, Lian Ge turned to say:
"...You used war as a metaphor before, old man, so let me ask you a question about war."
"Young man, you can ask." The old man looked at Lian Ge and nodded.
"It's also a war. When it's clear that your attack is suicide, and you can't achieve your strategic goals, and you can't do harm to the enemy, old man, as a commander, will you choose to withdraw temporarily, or will you choose to continue to attack? "
"...Nonsense, of course we should evacuate, otherwise the soldiers will die without value...Young man, you are trying to trick me." The old man laughed.
Lian Ge glanced at the old man, and also smiled,
"Old man, survival is also a battle. If you survive for one more minute, it is a victory over the disease. Your meaningless sacrifice is exactly what the enemy wants to see. The only function is to vent emotions and satisfy psychologically. " Lian Ge said, turned his gaze, and stared out of the window.
Hearing this, the old man glanced at Lian Ge, and then turned his gaze out of the window,
After a slight silence, the old man said calmly:
"...Young man, you are really good at persuading people. What you say makes sense.
But for me, the best opportunity for this battle is now. If I stay in the trenches and don't move, the enemy will gradually surround me.
While it would have given me time, it would have cost me the chance to fight, at least for now, I had the option to fight, to attack, instead of sitting in the trenches and waiting to die.
If I am going to die after all, I still hope to fall on the way to charge. "
While talking, the old man paused,
"So, thank you lad, I decided to go ahead with the surgery and start this fight."
Hearing this, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze and glanced at the old man,
"Old man, you are quite stubborn." Lian Ge said calmly with a slight smile.
"Yeah, I've always been stubborn." The old man also smiled and replied.
Looking at the old man, Lian Ge paused slightly, looked away, and did not continue to persuade.
Driven by mana, Lian Ge flicked his finger at the old man,
"...Now there are still two hours before your surgery, old man, this will make you feel better for these two hours."
After the words fell, a stream of magic power applied to the old man.
Afterwards, the old man felt relieved, and the pain in his body eased a lot.
"...Thank you, young man. I will keep it secret for you." The old man said with a smile,
"...Hey, by the way, that girl just now was your girlfriend, right? Is that Dr. Gu's daughter?" The old man leaned forward, asking a bit gossip.
Hearing this, Lian Ge couldn't help smiling.
……
After a while, after talking casually with the old man, Lian Ge didn't stay in the ward any longer.
I glanced at the medical record card pasted at the end of the hospital bed, and paused slightly on the column of the old man's name.
"Tang Zhonghua."
Withdrawing his gaze, Lian Ge didn't stay any longer, moved his steps, and stepped straight out of the ward.
……
Outside the ward, in the corridor.
When the patient's family members, Gu Hanguo, Gu Xiaoying and others saw Lian Ge's figure walking out of the ward, they immediately greeted him.
"...Xiao Ge, what's the matter, does the old man still need surgery?" Gu Hanguo asked aloud,
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at Gu Han Guo, shook his head,
"Then..." Gu Hanguo asked again,
Lian Ge looked at Gu Hanguo, didn't answer, just shook his head again,
"Hey..." Sighing slightly, Gu Hanguo shook his head, turned his gaze to the patient's family,
"Go in and stay with the old man. The operation will start in two hours."
Reaffirmed by Gu Hanguo, the patient's family members couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in their eyes, but they didn't say much, opened the door of the ward again in silence, and walked in one after another.
In the ward, the old man smiled and looked at the family members who entered the ward,
"...What are you doing with a frowning face, be happy..."
……
Outside the door of the ward, Lian Ge glanced at the old man who was talking with his children and grandchildren inside the ward,
Withdrawing his gaze and almost nodding to the two hell ghosts waiting quietly at the door of the ward, Lian Ge turned around again and looked at Gu Hanguo and Gu Xiaoying beside him.
"...Xiaoge, Xiaoying, you go shopping first, I have to prepare for surgery." Gu Hanguo also looked away from the ward, shook his head slightly and said.
"Okay, teacher, you are busy, Xiaoying and I will leave first." Lian Ge nodded and responded.
Afterwards, Gu Hanguo didn't stay any longer, nodded and left in a hurry.
"Let's go."
Watching Gu Hanguo's figure disappear from sight, Lian Ge withdrew his gaze and said softly to Gu Xiaoying.
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoying nodded, and took Lian Ge's hand again.
Then, the two walked downstairs.
"...Lian Ge, you just talked to that old man for so long, why do you think that old man is so stubborn?"
"...Probably because he is a warrior with a strong will to fight."
"Then... do you think his operation will be successful?"
After the words fell, Lian Ge paused slightly, turned his gaze to look at Gu Xiaoying,
"……hope to."
After speaking, the two continued to walk downstairs.
Chapter 164 Goodbye Guoguo
"...Brother, brother!"
Leave the ICU area and go downstairs.
Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying, who were walking towards the outside of the hospital, passed in front of the noisy emergency building, and a clear and eager cry sounded from a distance and reached Lian Ge's ears.
Hearing the sound, Lian Ge and Gu Xiaoying turned around and followed the sound.
I saw that in front of the emergency building, a little girl was being dragged by her parents, struggling at the moment, and shouting at Lian Ge.
"Lian Ge?" Gu Xiaoying looked at Lian Ge with some doubts.
"A little girl I met on the road." Lian Ge turned his head, smiled slightly at Gu Xiaoying, and after a brief explanation, he led Gu Xiaoying towards the little girl and her parents.
As Lian Ge kept approaching, the girl's parents also recognized Lian Ge and walked over with the little girl.
"...Young man, it's you. I asked Guoguo what's the matter. So I recognized you."
This pair of parents and girl is the same as Guoguo and his parents who drove Lian Ge on Wuxing Road.
"Guoguo recognized his brother, right?" Guoguo's mother said with a smile, holding Guoguo's hand.
Hearing this, the little girl who had been shouting from a long distance before became silent again, just like when Lian Ge saw her for the first time, she lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers.
"Squeak... squeak."
Seeing the little girl Guoguo, the little white mouse couldn't help screaming twice, and shrank towards Lian Ge's neck.
The little girl heard the sound, raised her head again, and looked at the little white mouse.
Then, the little white mouse shrank its body again and turned its head to one side.
Glancing at the little white mouse, Lian Ge couldn't help but smile, and looked back at Guoguo's parents.
"...Brother, do you live in the capital?"
"That's it."
"By the way, who is this?" Guoguo's mother looked at Gu Xiaoying beside Lian Ge,
"My girlfriend."
"A man with a talent and a woman looks like a good match." Guoguo's mother praised.
