Origin Chapter 939: Birth, old age, sickness and death

  Fang Yi went to say hello to the prison authorities, and Wu Zhongyuan also left the room where everyone was smoking, and went outside to breathe.

   At this time, the prisoners in the prison have already started to have sex, each with their heads shaved, and their brows revealing the decadence and helplessness that cannot be concealed. For most people, losing their freedom is the most terrifying thing, which means seeing Without relatives and friends, it also means that you have no chance to participate in everything that happens outside.

   There are many people who advertise that they like quietness, but in fact, they are just Lord Ye who loves dragons, just to express their sorrows for writing poems. There are very few people who really like quietness. Only strong enough people can enjoy quietness. Ordinary people can't stand loneliness. , They like to participate, like to be lively, and like to socialize. In their view, this kind of meaningless busyness is to gain and possess, and not going out for a day is like a huge loss.

   The prison authorities had always been in awe of Wu Zhongyuan, lest they would fall behind and complain when they did not cooperate well. When they heard that the two were leaving, they were instantly relieved. .

   The prison party sent the best car in the prison, and it ran very fast and smoothly. Wu Zhongyuan had a whim and wanted to pick a few good cars to send back, but he denied the idea as soon as it appeared. It's not that the ability is insufficient, but the ancient road conditions are not good, and there are no gas stations.

  If a person is strong enough, even if he thinks wildly, he is thinking deeply to outsiders. How could Fang Yi and the driver know that Wu Zhongyuan was in a daze and was thinking about sending a car back, and he was thinking about some important issue .

   It was after ten o'clock in the morning when he went to the city. Fang Yi was not in a hurry to go to the airport. Instead, he found a seafood market and asked Wu Zhongyuan to choose what he wanted to eat. Then he found a small shop and spent money to let others help make it.

   Wu Zhongyuan has money, but Fang Yi doesn't let him spend money and insists on inviting him. Wu Zhongyuan has no choice but to let him.

   Now there are many people who envy the iron rice bowls and 9-to-5 jobs of public officials and therefore hate them. In fact, the wages of public officials are not high, they can only guarantee their food and clothing, and the price they pay is never possible Become rich, because their superiors do not allow them to do business, and if they want to have both rights, they will face the risk of entering.

   A meal cost Fang Yi more than 4,000, more than 1,000 meals and more than 3,000 drinks. The two of them drank a bottle of Maotai. People often say that they like what brand of cigarettes and what brand of wine, just Good mouth, this is actually a self-deception statement, in terms of taste and quality, Maotai Zhonghua is indeed superior.

   During the meal, Fang Yi played emotional cards, recalling the scene where the two of them searched for the leopard from Poyang Lake together, and recounted what tasks he and Wang Xinran had performed together. Wu Zhongyuan knew that Fang Yi did this for a purpose, but he did not Disgust, because most of the goodwill is actually something that you want, and you can't deny the other party's goodwill just because the other party wants something.

  In ancient times, the alcohol content was very low, not even 20 degrees. Suddenly drinking more than 50 degrees, and not using spiritual energy to control the alcohol, Wu Zhongyuan was a little drunk. He found a light blue Dongxuan Lingdan from it and gave it to Fang Yi, and then gave Fang Yi a ride, and sent him directly back to the 18th Bureau.

   sent Fang Yi away, Wu Zhongyuan began to think about where to go, he didn't go far, he saw a nursing home not far away and went there. He didn't have any specific observation objects when he came back this time. Anyone can become his target of observation.

   When he went to the nursing home, the nursing home was having a meal. It was an ordinary nursing home with average meals. The people living in it were all elderly people in their 70s and 80s. There were many old men and few old wives.

  The atmosphere and aura are real. The place with many old people inevitably has a twilight atmosphere. The biggest characteristic of the old people is that they are slow, eat slowly, speak slowly, walk slowly, no matter what they do.

  After eating, the old people began to bask in the sun. When they were in the sun, they had to talk and chat. There were two main topics. One was talking about children. Everyone has vanity, and the elderly are no exception. How good and busy are their children, so I can't take care of them myself, and I can only send them to a nursing home.

   This is actually a self-deception mentality. It can be seen that they do not like nursing homes. The elderly who are sent to nursing homes have the idea of ​​being abandoned, but they try their best to find excuses for their children to comfort themselves.

  In addition to children, the old people talk more about the past, that is, recalling the past, what they did when they were young and worthy of showing off, and what they did themselves that others dare not do.

  Wu Zhongyuan is very patient. Since noon, he has been hearing the elderly people returning to their houses at around three o'clock. The conclusion is that these elderly people have not done anything out of the ordinary, and there are very few things worth recalling and gratifying. Under the same education and similar environment, most people have similar ideologies and life trajectories. Few people are truly different, and more people think they are different.

  Wu Zhongyuan waited until the nursing home had dinner before leaving. He did not blame those who sent their parents to the nursing home because the elderly were depressed in the nursing home. There are very few children who are truly unfilial, and most of them are poor people who are busy with their livelihoods. People, they do not have too much energy to take care of and accompany their parents, they can only send their parents here.

   In fact, everyone should go to a nursing home to see those who are in their old age. They are mediocre and innocent, but they are willing to be mediocre, and they are really guilty of not thinking about progress, even if it is just for the sake of bragging and showing off after old age. At the same time, you have to summon the courage to do some great things.

   The reason why this nursing home is crowded is because it is close to the hospital. Not far away is a large hospital in a prefecture-level city. After night fell, Wu Zhongyuan went there again.

   He did not enter the ward, but sat on the top of the building. Now his senses are very sharp, and he can listen to many people talking at the same time without confusion. The building he is in is the inpatient building of the oncology department. They are all cancer patients, in other words, cancer patients.

  Wu Zhongyuan has a fruit basket and some dried fruits next to him. The fruit baskets and dried fruits are all he got from the supermarket in the hospital. This is a black-hearted supermarket. The things they sell are much more expensive than those outside. Avenged the customer who suffered the pit.

  Everything in the world is made of breath, and everyone has a different breath. Since there are cancer patients here, they emit gloomy and black aura. At this time, Wu Zhongyuan is like sitting in a big smokey giant on the chimney.

   Wu Zhongyuan came here after six o'clock, and sat there until after eleven o'clock in the evening. After eleven o'clock, almost all the patients and bed companions fell asleep and could not hear anything.

   In five hours, he heard a lot of different conversations, but they can be roughly classified into several categories. The most important one is the distressed medical expenses. Most of them are rural patients, and urban people also have them. Not to mention no medical insurance, even if there is medical insurance, Many special drugs are also not reimbursed. A person's illness can really bring down a family, and it will be brought down in a very short period of time.

   At this time, people who believe in ordinary and valuable will be blinded. If they don't have money, they will do nothing. If they don't have money, they will not give medicine. You can't blame the hospital for being cruel, because the hospital also needs to survive, and from the perspective of equal exchange, Medicines should also be given to other hospitals.

   Secretly crying, sighing, calling to borrow money, smoking suffocating cigarettes, these are all to no avail. Everyone knows that work is very tiring, and you must pay more effort and sweat if you want to make money. Comfortable, who doesn’t know that it’s fun to play games after get off work, and who doesn’t know that it’s very pleasant to go fishing on weekends, but comfort comes at a price, that is, the decrease in income, not only when books are used up, but also money, parents and wives. It is a man's greatest sorrow and a man's greatest failure to be unable to take out the money himself when he needs it.

   After five hours of listening, Wu Zhongyuan also heard a lot of lies. He was very puzzled. He was so ill that many patients still chose to believe the lies of their family members and believed that they were all right, because they were overwhelmed by a strong desire to survive. It is because of cowardice that I dare not face the reality.

   What should come will always come, and what should be faced will be faced sooner or later. It will not happen because of choosing not to face it. All patients have wishes and concerns, but after summarizing, Wu Zhongyuan found a rule, that is All regrets and wishes can actually be done before they get terminally ill. It’s not that God didn’t give them a chance, but they have been procrastinating and slack, and they didn’t start to worry until they got sick. This is an obvious hindsight. , If they don't get sick, they may still procrastinate in their seventies and eighties.

   There are also some patients who are sober and able to face the reality bravely. They know that their fate will be soon and begin to arrange funerals. The main manifestation is that they strongly demand to be discharged from the hospital, do not want to spend more money, and implicate their family members.

   is the so-called too ruthless, the sage who guides the universe must first detach himself from the emotions of the human world. Only by detachment can he watch on the sidelines. He still shot, is a female patient in the ward on the fifth floor.

   This is a woman in her fifties. Her family is by her side. Her family is lying to her, saying that she is fine, but the female patient knows that she has a terminal illness. Instead of exposing it, he cooperated with them fully, pretending to be nothing, and in the subsequent conversation, intentionally or unintentionally, told the family how much savings they had at home and where they put their jewelry.

   When her family forced a smile, she was able to laugh out loud.

   does not encounter major changes and never knows who is a warrior and who is a coward. Wu Zhongyuan admires the psychological quality of this woman, but what he admires more is the nobleness of this woman. Most people will regard family members as negative emotions. In the trash can, she just dumped bitter water, hoping to get more attention. This woman didn't do that. She gave all her good emotions to her family, and she took the huge psychological pressure on herself.

  Zhuangzi has words, gods have no merit, saints have no name. From this point of view, Wu Zhongyuan should make a move quietly, retreat quietly, should not alarm anyone, not even the patient himself, but Wu Zhongyuan did not do this, and It was to show up and walk into the ward where the woman was.

  The woman's behavior moved him very much. He wanted to praise and praise her in front of her family and other patients in the same ward, and he did.

   Before everyone could react, Wu Zhongyuan left the ward without giving the woman's family a chance to thank him. The reason why he did this was not to get their thanks, but because he wanted to do it.

   It was almost 11:30 when he left the hospital. Wu Zhongyuan reconsidered where to go. Thinking of the bar that Big Nose mentioned last night, he had the intention to go and find out, but after thinking about it, he always went to the place where the filth was hidden. It seems a little wrong to run, but after thinking about it again, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. I came back this time to observe the drunken fans and feasting.

   made up his mind and got into a taxi at the entrance of the hospital, "Go to the bar."

   "Which bar?" the driver asked.

  "The most lively bar..."
