Chapter 5 Eighteen Years of a Dream
In August 2000, Qinhuai District, Jinling City.
The annual national Go finals competition just ended here.
Since the participants are mainly minors every year, this competition is usually held during the summer season. This is also a routine for a final stage competition.
In the just-concluded period of this year, the most eye-catching person was not Liu Yuanbo, who won the championship of this year with 12 wins and 1 loss, nor was Chen Yaoyue, a youngest age of this year, or even Mao Jiajun, who finally successfully entered the stage this year, but a 13-year-old boy named Li Xiangping failed to successfully enter the stage.
Among these chess kids participating in this year, Li Xiangping was outstanding in strength. Long before the competition, he was unanimously favored by the domestic Go community, believing that it was almost certain that he would take away a place from the 22 fixed-segment places.
In fact, after the start of the game, Li Xiangping did live up to expectations. He won 9 consecutive games like a roaring wave in the first nine rounds. Even from the post-match, the only set that the champion winner Liu Yuanbo lost was that he lost to Li Xiangping.
However, just when everyone thought that Li Xiangping had made a decision in advance, an accident happened.
Or, a tragedy happened.
In the 10th round, Li Xiangping was blocked by Chen Yaoyue and failed to realize his wish to set the stage in advance.
In the 11th round, Li Xiangping accidentally lost to the beautiful chess player Mao Jiajun, delaying the pace of the fixed section again.
Yes, at this time everyone thought this was an accident, and Li Xiangping's pace of entering the section was only delayed.
However, a few experts who are familiar with the inside story know that Li Xiangping was already in danger at this time.
Nothing else, because in the 12th round, Li Xiangping met Yan Qing.
Although this young man named Yan Qing is average in chess skills, he only barely entered the ranks with 19th place after the game, but he has one characteristic, that is, Li Xiangping's "hard work".
Li Xiangping started participating in the final competition since he was 11 years old. His outstanding sense of chess and keen reactions have long won unanimous recognition in the Go community. However, there is a fact, a fact that many people have not noticed. In the first two competitions, Li Xiangping was defeated by Yan Qing.
Now this is the third time, can Li Xiangping defeat the "hard work"?
As a result, as a few experts expected, Li Xiangping lost to Yan Qing again, and the only win needed to successfully enter the section still did not wait.
At this point, everyone was already very clear in their hearts: Li Xiangping is in danger, he is in real danger!
Because although Li Xiangping is outstanding in his chess talent and his chess talent are unanimously recognized by the chess industry, he has a weakness that everyone knows: that is, his psychological quality is not good and his ability to resist strikes is extremely poor.
Just three days ago, the last round of this year's final round of the final match started, and the result was not surprising. During the game, Li Xiangping's technical movements were seriously deformed, and he showed a brittle defeat early on.
So in this way, after 9 consecutive victories, Li Xiangping lost four consecutively, while setting the stage again, he also made him one of the most eye-catching figures in the entire arena.
Especially something that happens after the game can even be removed, making him the most eye-catching person in the entire game.
That is, after the game was over, perhaps because of being deeply stimulated, or for some other reason, the 13-year-old boy Li Xiangping suddenly fell into a coma. He has not woken up for two days and two nights and is still in hospital for observation.
Qinhuai District, Jinling First People's Hospital, Li Xiangping was lying on the hospital bed in a senior ward. His eyes were closed and he was unconscious.
However, although he was not awake now, his face looked rosy and his breathing was smooth. Just around the hospital bed, four people were standing around him closely watching him.
Among these four people, there is an elderly couple, Li Xiangping's grandfather and grandmother. The two old men are now looking at their grandson with concern.
In addition to the two of them, the other two are also a man and a woman. The man is in his 40s. He is the attending doctor of Li Xiangping, with his surname Ren. The woman is a nurse in her early 20s, with his surname Yang.
"Doctor Ren, what is the situation of my grandson now?" Li Xiangping's grandfather asked.
"this......"
Dr. Ren is in his 40s. It is not easy to say that this person is one of the best doctors in this hospital and even the entire Jinling. He is a well-known authority in children's medicine in China. However, in the face of Grandpa Li Xiangping's question, Dr. Ren is a little confused about how to answer:
"It's strange. We conducted various examinations on the child, from brain waves to electrocardiograms, and then to various blood indicators, and found no abnormalities, but why did the child remain unconscious?"
"Hmph! A bunch of quacks."
Mr. Li groaned, then ignored Doctor Ren, but instead said to Grandma Li Xiangping:
"My wife, I think this will definitely not work. I will be transferred to the hospital! Now I must consider transferring to the hospital immediately, and I need to send Xiangping to Shencheng or Beijing for treatment."
Although Grandma Li Xiangping looked anxious, she looked more calmer than Grandpa and seemed much more decisive. After listening to Grandpa's words, Grandma did not hesitate at all, and nodded:
"Yes, I can't delay it anymore. I can't even find out the cause of the disease. What a broken hospital? Old man, I think this is. You can contact Lao Zhao immediately..."
Look, grandma has even thought about her next move.
Seeing the two old men's attitude, Doctor Ren was even more afraid to speak. Not to mention that the cause of the disease could not be found, which made him feel a little bit wronged first. What's more, he knew one thing about the identities of the two in front of him. He was definitely not something he could afford to offend a standard old revolution.
Not to mention anything else, Dr. Ren Da knew that "Old Zhao" mentioned by Grandma Li Xiangping, this is a big shot in the province. The reason why this child was able to be admitted to this high-ranking official ward was the greeting of the "Old Zhao".
Just when the atmosphere in the ward was a little awkward, another person suddenly rushed into the ward. The man rushed in while shouting:
"Xiangping, what's wrong with Xiangping..."
Seeing the visitor, Grandpa Li Xiangping was immediately angry and scolded him:
"Yoho, it turns out that our boss Li is here. It's really rare and rare. What's wrong? Boss Li doesn't go to your money-making plan, and finally remembers that he has a son?"
The person who came was Li Xiangping's father Li Yuanhu. During the Li Xiangping competition, he happened to be in the capital to discuss a business. When he learned that Li Xiangping was unconscious, he didn't come here until now.
Faced with the anger of his old man, Li Yuanhu and President Li naturally did not dare to refute. Seeing outsiders present, he had to pretend that he didn't hear it, but turned to Li Xiangping's grandmother:
"Mom, what's going on in Xiangping?"
"Oh, I suddenly fell into a coma two days ago and haven't woken up until now. When asked what the reason, the doctor said that I couldn't find the problem. It's so anxious."
"oh?"
Li Yuanhu turned his inquiring eyes to Dr. Ren.
"You are Mr. Li, right? This is the case..."
Seeing that Li Yuanhu was a little kind-faced, at least not as fierce as his old man, Doctor Ren pushed his glasses and was about to explain another person.
It’s a pity that his explanation was disturbed again, but this time it was the beautiful nurse named Yang:
"I blinked! I seemed to see it just now, and the child seemed to blink."
As soon as Nurse Yang said this, Dr. Ren naturally didn't care about explaining it. Everyone, including him, stopped talking and stood by Li Xiangping again.
And at this moment, it seemed as if he had just finished a very long dream, a strange and even strange dream, Li Xiangping woke up slowly.
Li Xiangping opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eyes was the anxious look of his grandparents, and a warm feeling surged into his heart.
"Grandpa, grandma."
"Hey, good grandson."
Grandpa's face was flushed, and grandma cried with joy:
"Xiangping, tell grandma what happened. By the way, how do you feel now?"
"I...I'm a little tired now and want to take a break."
Of course, Li Xiangping was not really tired. He just wanted to take this opportunity to digest the dream he just had.
"Okay, rest, rest well, and then talk to grandma after rest."
The most ill people in the world are the most. Since Li Xiangping made this request, the others are naturally doing good.
It’s a pity that Li Xiangping was destined to be “rest” because at this moment, someone came to the ward again:
"Oh, Xiangping is awake? Haha, Xiangping, see who is coming? Grandpa Zhao takes Daokai to see you."
Li Xiangping finally didn't want to "rest" anymore, so he stared at Zhao Daokai:
"Did this kid travel through time like himself?"
This was Li Xiangping's first thought after seeing Zhao Daokai.
