On the rugged road leading from Heihe Town to Shennvgou, a black Les Rolls was driving.
As the world's leader in comfortable cars, even on such rugged mountain roads, the passengers in the car still feel as comfortable as walking on flat ground.
The driver of the car is a middle-aged man in Chinese tunic suit.
Although he is over fifty years old, he is full of energy and has more energy than some young people.
His eyes are like a falcon, and you can tell at a glance that he is a practicing master or a master!
The passenger seat in the car is empty.
Sitting in the spacious back seat were an old man and a young girl.
The old man is nearly eighty years old, and the girl is under twenty.
"Grandpa, that Goddess Valley is so remote..."
The girl looked out the window and puffed up her cheeks in disgust.
"I asked you not to follow grandpa."
The old man looked at the girl, although his tone was reproachful, his eyes were full of endearment.
"If I don't come with you, Uncle Jiang will be a bottleneck, and he will bore Grandpa to death!"
The girl glanced at the driver and said helplessly.
The middle-aged man didn't respond, didn't even move his eyelids, and continued to drive the car meticulously.
The old man showed a kind smile, stretched out his old and slightly atrophic left hand, and touched the girl's head.
The girl has two ponytails.
The old man reached out and pulled it.
His strength is very small, perhaps no more than that of a young child.
"Grandpa, don't pull people's hair all day long!"
The girl pouted her little mouth and said dissatisfiedly.
"Ouch!"
The old man suddenly screamed, and the hand holding his braid trembled uncontrollably.
The braid slipped from his hands, and he tried to hold it, but he couldn't use the strength at all.
He didn't even have the strength to raise his hand, and his entire left hand went limp.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you!"
The girl looked at the old man and was shocked.
The middle-aged man, who had always been expressionless, frowned and quickly parked the car on the side of the road.
"Mr. Su, are you okay?"
The middle-aged man quickly loosened his seat belt and leaned back to look at the old man.
"It seems that my ALS disease is about to enter the next phase of the disease."
The old man looked at his left hand and showed a helpless and vicissitudes of smile.
"Grandpa, no, it won't happen!"
The girl held the old man's left hand, trembling.
The disgust and mischief just now were gone, replaced by sadness and tension.
The old man stretched out his right hand and gently patted the girl's delicate hands.
"Silly girl, stop crying. The doctors have said that grandpa's ALS is an incurable disease, and his whole body will be 'frozen' sooner or later."
Instead, the old man comforted the girl.
"Grandpa, didn't you say that the 'Ice Dream Syndrome' in Shennvgou is perhaps 'ALS'?"
"Since someone in Shennvgou can cure this disease, grandpa will definitely be fine!"
The girl's eyes filled with tears and she cried.
"The 'Ice Dream Syndrome' in Shennvgou is just a legend 20 years ago. Even if it really exists, its symptoms are far from those of 'ALS'. We can't hold out too much hope."
The old man smiled and explained to the girl again.
"But...but..."
The girl passed her tearful eyes with the back of her hand and wiped away the tears.
The middle-aged man glanced at the old man's weak left hand again, turned around silently, and buckled his seat belt.
He glanced in the rearview mirror.
When the girl wiped her tears, the muscles on the old man's face trembled a few times, and his eyes showed sadness and fear.
He knew that the old man was shocked inside at this moment.
He deliberately behaved calmly, just to prevent his beloved granddaughter from becoming even more sad and sad...
The old man's surname is Su, from the Su family in Jiangnan.
Su Baichuan, the richest man in Jiangnan City.
A year ago, Su Baichuan was diagnosed with ALS, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
There is no cure for this disease, and even the cause cannot be identified.
The body of the sick person will show symptoms such as muscle atrophy and spastic paralysis, as if frozen by ice and snow.
Today it's the hands, tomorrow it's the legs, and even the muscles that control the movement of the eyeballs are not immune.
There once was a very outstanding physicist who suffered from ALS.
Their intelligence, memory and thinking are not affected by the disease, but they can only watch their bodies being "frozen" day by day in a awake state.
The average survival period of ALS patients is only 3 to 5 years, and there are a total of 5 disease stages.
The onset of symptoms, difficulty in work, difficulty in life, difficulty in swallowing and difficulty in breathing.
In just one year, Su Baichuan entered a period of work difficulties from the beginning.
By chance, he heard the legend of "Ice Dream Syndrome" in Shennvgou.
Then, he immediately went to learn about the village and found out that it was planning to build a tourist village.
So, he decided to go to this village in person while he could still walk to see if there would be any miracles.
However……
Before entering the village, the muscles in Su Baichuan's left hand had completely atrophied, indicating that he had entered a difficult period from work to life.
Each period of his illness lasted less than half as long as the previous one.
Su Baichuan is an elderly patient, and his survival period is shorter than that of other ALS patients!
There is less than half a year left, and as for the time when I can still walk on my feet, it is estimated to be less than a month...
…
Jiang Hong drove to a platform according to the navigation.
There is a shabby sign hanging on the platform with the words "Goddess Valley" written on it.
There were two young people standing on the platform, a man and a woman.
Handsome men and pretty women.
"Grandpa, is that the Goddess Valley over there..."
Su Qingning looked out the window. There were scattered farmlands and houses in the mountain valley a few kilometers away from the roadside. It looked like an extremely vast village.
"Mr. Su, the navigation only has platform information. I'll get off the car and ask the two people at the platform to confirm."
After Jiang Hong reported to Su Baichuan, he opened the door and got out of the car.
"Could the person in that car be the person who booked your hotel?"
"If I remember correctly, it should be the logo of Rolls-Royce. The birdman on the front of the car costs more than ten or two hundred thousand."
Lu Dong looked at the luxury car parked a few meters away and whispered to Liu Cailing.
"That's not possible! Driving such a nice car and staying at my little inn that costs about 100 yuan a night, I, I can't entertain you!"
Liu Cailing responded tremblingly.
Jiang Hong walked up to the two of them and asked politely: "Hello, is that the Goddess Valley over there?"
Liu Cailing glanced along Jiang Hong's fingers.
"Uh...yes."
In fact, she knew that the other party was pointing in the direction of the Goddess Valley without looking.
"Thanks."
Jiang Hong nodded slightly.
When he turned around, his eyes stayed on Lu Dong for a second, his eyebrows raised slightly.
"The inner one..."
Liu Cailing shouted to Jiang Hong's back.
Jiang Hong turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Are you the three guests who booked the 'Dingdong Inn'?"
Liu Cailing asked, with a look of self-doubt on her face...
