Volume Two, Chapter 172, Bad News
The night sky in the Tibetan area of Shuzhou is so clean that it is fascinating. There is no cloud in the sky. The sky is like a dark blue curtain, covered with stars shining like diamonds. Old Chu and Lao Meng were holding hands, with a few sad expressions of sadness, walking under this intoxicating night sky.
It was a quiet summer night. The old couple had the chance to see this beautiful night sky, and some people probably never had the chance to see it again. Not far behind Lao Meng and Lao Chu was a two-story building with red and white. In a typical Tibetan style, waves of weak and weak coughing came from the building.
Lao Meng looked southeast. It was just dark at this time, and a dazzling galaxy was hanging in the sky. The summer heat in Shuzhou Tibetan areas has always been worse than that in Yuzhou. Even with a long-sleeved jacket, she still felt a little cold. What made her feel even more cold was that a living life was entering death little by little before her eyes.
Lao Meng regretted it a little. If he had known this, he would have waited for the two children. If there was a real possibility, Yan Shumo would miss the last farewell, I am afraid that Lao Yan would not forgive himself in his life.
"Otherwise, I'd better call the two children? What do you think? Old Chu!"
Upon hearing this, Old Chu raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was just after eight o'clock that they officially entered the high altitude area this afternoon. It was said that it was a high altitude, but in fact it was only more than 1,800 to 2,000 meters, and it was not even within the range of three thousand meters at all. He, Lao Meng and Brother Yan did not even have altitude sickness, but Yan Shumo's mother Li Hongmei could no longer hold on.
Yan Shumo's mother has not been in good health since the beginning of spring this year, so Lao Yan has been hesitating whether to continue the trip. As the summer vacation is approaching day by day, his wife's health miraculously improved again. I am afraid that there will be any accidents after waiting for it, the group finally discussed it and decided not to wait for the child and set off directly.
After entering Shuzhou, the group kept wandering around at low altitudes, such as Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Zhuge Wuhou Temple, Dujiangyan, etc. However, Shuzhou's beautiful scenery is in high altitude areas. Even Jiuzhaigou, which has a less harsh attitude towards travelers, has an average altitude of more than 3,000 meters. Even people with almost physical health need to inhale oxygen, let alone physical condition like Li Hongmei.
Originally, the group planned to go back and walked back, but since yesterday, Li Hongmei began to insist on going to Tibet. The three of them persuaded them for a long time, but they couldn't persuade them. In the end, they were forced to buy a lot of medicines and oxygen cylinders. They only officially started to move to a high altitude this afternoon. Now looking back, maybe Lao Li knew that his deadline was approaching, so he didn't listen to advice for the first time!
"It's so hard to have a car now, right? It's okay to go from Yuzhou to Yuncheng, you can take the train, but can these two children do it from Yuncheng to Danba County?" Old Chu hesitated for a moment, and he still felt a little lucky in his heart. After all, Li Hongmei's body suddenly deteriorated no time once or twice.
When Lao Meng heard this, he looked at the Milky Way in the sky and was silent for a while before speaking:
"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of it. Seeing her condition, I guess she's just holding her breath. Now that she's down, I feel that it's a big deal. I think even if the couple doesn't take their son seriously, if Old Li really leaves, I hope to see Yan Shumo before leaving, right?"
"Besides, both children can drive, so my son's skills are not better than you? When you get here, rent a car if it really doesn't work. It's better than doing nothing!"
When Old Chu heard this, he recalled Li Hongmei's waxy face, nodded silently, took out his cell phone and looked at the signal, and was about to call out.
"Test your son, don't hit Shumo, this child is too impulsive!" Lao Meng explained again when he saw this.
"Well, I know!"
Chu Chengmu was very surprised when he received a call from his own son. The school treatment was actually good. He would basically arrange a trip during the winter and summer vacations. In the past, when they were left behind, he consciously refused to disturb their two worlds, let alone Lao Chu called him on his own initiative. Why? Is this a conscience discovery?
"Hey, Dad! Which dog has spit out your conscience for you?" Chu Chengmu was half lying on the sofa, stroking his belly with one hand. Today, he was lucky. Not only did he buy wild black fish, but he also bought wild yellow spicy dice. In addition, his skills were really good, so he accidentally ate too much.
"Is Shumo next to you?"
Old Chu's voice was a bit solemn. Chu Chengmu immediately realized that something went wrong. He looked at Yan Shumo who was washing dishes in the kitchen calmly and said softly: "We just finished our meal, and he was washing dishes in the kitchen."
"His mother's physical condition is not very good. You can find a way to bring him to Danba County tonight! Move quickly!" Old Chu also subconsciously lowered his voice, as if the voice was louder and Yan Shumo could hear it.
"Is it very serious?" Chu Chengmu glanced at Yan Shumo and asked softly. The rushing water in the pool covered up the noise of his phone call.
"I can't even suck oxygen in. When your mother and I came out, we saw that her hands and feet were starting to turn yellow but not bloody. Maybe we couldn't get through this time!"
"Okay, I get it!"
Chu Chengmu put down the phone and thought for a while. If it was really as my father said, his hands and feet had already started to turn yellow, then Yan Shumo's mother wouldn't have much time left, and this process was almost irreversible. When the nails started to turn black, basically, there would be no one left.
Chu Chengmu pondered for a while. There was no high-speed rail now. Even if you take Shuyu Expressway at night, you can't drive too fast. It took almost three hours to drive from Yuzhou to Yuncheng.
He had been to Danba, but he didn't know if the current road conditions were the same as in more than ten years. Even if it was the same, it would take about six hours to leave Yuncheng to Danba County. In addition, the time to be delayed by refueling is at least ten hours. Can people who have their hands and feet started to turn yellow for ten hours?
My parents wanted to hide it from Yan Shumo and prevent him from knowing it. This matter would definitely not be hidden. In the middle of the night, I hurried to Shuzhou. As long as I was not a fool, I knew that something had happened to his mother. I still have to say this matter.
It was only a ten-hour drive and I would definitely not be able to drive alone. As for Yan Shumo, I would not consider it. This guy's skills are so bad, and he was anxious, so he might be reimbursed together at any time.
It seems that I can only trouble Huo Tingfeng. Even if Huo Tingfeng can't leave, don't he still have such a group of retired veterans now? He doesn't believe that anyone who can drive can't find it!
Thinking of this, Chu Chengmu glanced at Yan Shumo, walked to the corridor, and opened Huo Tingfeng's cell phone.
"Brother Feng, can you go to Yuncheng now with me? "Can you leave?" Chu Chengmu asked.
"I can go away. Teacher Xian is back. I am idle every day now. I have nothing to do to practice with those veterans. I am going to get sick! What's wrong? What happened?" Huo Tingfeng replied.
"Shumo's mother is not in good health. Something might happen. We have to rush to Danba County tonight! You can wait for me at the nearest highway intersection later. I will arrange it and go out!" Chu Chengmu said.
"Danba County? I'm afraid it's hard to leave this night!" Huo Tingfeng hesitated for a moment and said.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. The road conditions over there are a bit complicated. I've been there before. I'm afraid it's not easy to walk at night. In this way, you can open the first half of the little mu and I'll open the second half of the mu. In this way, we should be able to arrive before sunrise tomorrow!" Huo Tingfeng replied.
"Okay, you can clean up too, hurry up and go out!" Chu Chengmu hung up the phone.
"Has something happened to my mother?" Chu Chengmu turned around when he heard this, and then realized that the sound of water in the kitchen had stopped at some point. Yan Shumo was standing quietly at the door, bursting into tears!
Chu Chengmu stepped forward and patted Yan Shumo's shoulder, afraid of Yan Shumo, and comforted softly:
