Two hundred and ninety-three chapters, impermanence
Chapter 293, Impermanence
Eating has always been a science, and eating can be used as an excuse to talk about almost anything. For example, Zhang San said to Li Si: "I want to treat you to a meal." It may be just one meal, or it may be far more than a day.
The meaning of three meals to fill the stomach.
Tu Su invited You Fang to her house to play, saying that her father wanted to treat him to dinner. The timing was really coincidental, as it was the day before You Fang received his master's degree from Peking University. It was said to be dinner, but Tu Su asked You Fang to come early.
, of course you can have a good chat before eating. You don’t want to be empty-handed when you come to visit, but it’s not easy to give a gift that is too light or too expensive. After thinking about it for a long time, I went to Panjiayuan the next day.
He found a painting, an early spring landscape painting. It is not a very valuable masterpiece, but it is definitely an authentic work from the Ming Dynasty. The painting is very refined, and the sentimental atmosphere of the landscape can be vaguely felt when he plays with it in his hands. Pan Jiayuan left Tu Su
His home was not far away, and three stops was not too long for You Fang. He simply walked there and called Tu Su on the way. The little girl was very happy and wanted to pick him up at the gate of the community.
When You Fang walked to the opposite side of the road outside the gate of the community where Tu Su's house was located, he saw Tu Su trotting out in a small pink cotton-padded jacket from a distance. His steps were very cheerful, and his smile was as quiet as the first month of the year.
The blooming winter jasmine. You Fang held the painting box in his left hand, raised his right hand to greet her from a distance, and shouted: "Slow down..."
She was too far away and Tu Su couldn't hear clearly. She didn't have as good an ear as You Fang, so she waved her little hand and shouted: "Brother You Fang, what did you say——?"
Just at this moment, the roar of a car motor came from another road outside the three-way intersection. It sounded like it had been modified. Originally, it would have been okay if it went straight on that road. However, the hairs all over You Fang's body suddenly stood up. It felt like
There is an indescribable danger. This is not entirely the induction of secret magic and divine thoughts, but the state of internal martial arts that "responds to every touch and responds to the feeling".
Purely from the corner of martial arts, You Fang has reached the peak state of flesh and blood when practicing swordsmanship. If he continues to practice, he will only maintain this kind of body and mind. It will be difficult to make any further progress unless one day he can get a glimpse of the legendary "beautiful form and spirit, and
The threshold of "Dao He Zhen". His sense of danger is quite keen, but this time what he feels is not himself, but an inexplicable threat in the environment.
"Be careful -! Tu Su -" You Fang shouted and ran out like lightning. A painting box fell behind him. The cardboard packaging was broken, and a landscape painting of an early spring day unfolded and fell.
You Fang has encountered many dangers, and even if he is not careful, his body has long been gone. He has also killed people in the light of swords without blinking an eye. Perhaps his heart has been set as deep as a rock in the deep sea, and no sudden situation can shake it. But what is happening in front of him
This scene was the biggest accident he had ever encountered in his life, and his mind was instantly confused.
The sports car that roared on the avenue suddenly turned left and entered the side road. The temperature in Beijing dropped yesterday. There was some water on the roadside, and a thin layer of ice formed when the wind blew it. However, this car turned into a small road and did not slow down.
Sliding sideways and onto the sidewalk.
There was a crash and an exclamation, and a pink figure flew up. The scene on the street seemed to freeze for a moment. The car seemed to have crashed into an invisible net, but broke through the net and continued to slide.
With a "bang", Tu Su was knocked away in front of the car. Looking carefully, it seemed that the car did not hit her, but was separated by a few millimeters, but who could see clearly?
There was also a "pop" sound, and the windshield of the car was inexplicably shattered, forming a dense spider web shape. At the same time, there was another "click" sound, and the trunk of a bucket-thick street tree beside the road fell from the
A large gap of more than two meters long opened from top to bottom. The driver didn't know whether he didn't react or wanted to slip away. He turned the wheel to the right and continued to drive on the road. At this time, there were several sounds in succession, and the four tires
It all exploded, followed by a long, sharp blast from the car horn.
It turned out that the driver seemed to be slapped on the back of the head by an invisible force, his head hit the steering wheel, and the car horn sounded.
Where is You Fang? His figure suddenly appeared like a ghost and stood still, not far in front of the car. He stretched out his arms to catch Tu Su who fell down, as carefully as he was holding a wisp of cloud. Not only was he holding Tu Su
Just You Fang's arms and invisible power enveloped her like waves.
There was blood on the ground, but it was not Tu Su's blood. You Fang rushed forward and suddenly spat out blood from his mouth. He stood trembling and stood still. The distance was too far, and even with the power of his spiritual thoughts, he could not prevent this scene from happening. He had already tried his best.
He used all his strength to slow down the out-of-control car, and also used the force of the impact to lift Tu Su into the air. This is a force-relieving technique in combat.
Everything happened too fast, and he was too far away. He watched helplessly, and it was impossible to control his spiritual thoughts too delicately. The burst of power in a moment hit his organs, and he spit out a mouthful of blood, hurting himself.
But You Fang couldn't care too much anymore. After catching Tu Su, he turned around and walked away. He ran like a frightened wild horse along the sidewalk and stepped on the painting that had just landed.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, there were still many pedestrians on the road. I saw a young man holding a girl and running like crazy. It seemed that an invisible force pushed him left and right, and naturally made way for him.
You Fang saw a big hospital on the way there, about one stop away from here. He was much faster than an ambulance!
…
Tu Su was completely unscathed. At that time, she was entangled by invisible spiritual thoughts, as if wrapped in a transparent cocoon. The car did not hit her directly, but the overall impact swept her up into the air. What if
You Fang should be fine in her position, but Tu Su's weak body couldn't withstand such an impact.
Tu Su suffered from severe internal bleeding. Afterwards, the doctor said that if he had been sent to the hospital ten minutes later, there might not have been a need for resuscitation.
Until the next morning, Tu Su was still not out of danger and his life was hanging by a thread. Yesterday, he had a diversion operation and stayed in the intensive care unit for several hours. His body was covered with tubes and hung with a full set of life support systems. In the morning, his condition was different again.
The condition worsened and he was pushed into the interventional operating room.
Smoking is not allowed in the hospital wards, offices, and corridors. The stairs on each floor are very wide. There are benches and stainless steel trash cans with ashtrays at the corner between the two floors. This is the smoking room. You Fang sat on the bench.
The chair smelled of smoke, and he had already smoked two packs of cigarettes.
Xie Xiaoxian bought the cigarettes because she saw You Fang sitting there with his hands always trembling, trying to grab something to feel at ease, so she could only grab her own pants, so she went downstairs and bought two boxes for him.
Smoking. You Fang has always had an expressionless face, and his pupils are looking at nowhere. He has never smoked in front of Xie Xiaoxian, but his smoking action is very natural, it is a subconscious reaction.
The two packs of cigarettes were finished without realizing it. Xie Xiaoxian did not buy any more. She did not dare to let You Fang smoke anymore. From yesterday afternoon to now, You Fang has not eaten or even drank water. From the emergency room to the operation
He went from the room to the intensive care unit and then to the door of the current operating room without saying a few words. His lips were already dry, and a white film formed on his lips.
In the morning, Xie Xiaoxian persuaded him to eat something, and You Fang asked blankly: "Has Tu Su eaten?"
Xie Xiaoxian wanted to say something: "Tu Su can't eat, are you going to starve yourself to death?" But he couldn't say this. He could only look at You Fang and sighed softly: "It's not your fault.
.”
Xie Xiaoxian left for work, and it seemed like she couldn't help much if she stayed here. Then Chi Muduo came. Chi Muduo was an external reviewer for You Fang's thesis defense. He called You Fang this morning to ask about preparations.
How's it going? Do you want to have lunch together before going to school? Unexpectedly, You Fang said that he was in the hospital and the sound sounded like he was sleepwalking. Chi Muduo was startled and rushed over immediately.
Chi Muduo thought something was wrong with You Fang. When he got to the hospital, he realized that it was someone else. But when he saw You Fang, his heart sank. You Fang looked like his energy and energy had been completely drained, leaving only a body.
, Chi Muduo said carefully: "At three o'clock this afternoon, your thesis defense will be held."
"It's my fault. She went out to pick me up. I called her and she ran over... If it weren't for me, she wouldn't..." You Fang didn't look at Chi Muduo when he spoke. He was answering.
What Xie Xiaoxian said just now, and Xie Xiaoxian has been walking for more than half an hour.
Chi Muduo slapped him: "You Fang, wake up, I am Chi Muduo! Didn't you bring your paper and ppt? I prepared one for you."
You Fang looked up at Chi Muduo: "Thesis defense? If anything happens to Tu Su, this degree will mean nothing to me." Then he lowered his head again.
After a while, Mo Xi also came, frowned when he saw You Fang, shook his head at Chi Muduo, and then whispered to You Fang: "I have taken care of everything, do you want to call the old lady back?
"
You Fang raised his head again, seemingly awake but confused: "Melander's matter? Just do whatever you want, I don't care anymore..."
Mo Xi looked at him and sighed to himself: "Your friend will be fine." Then he said hello to Chi Muduo and left.
What was You Fang thinking about? He didn't think about anything. He felt only two words - emptiness, endless emptiness, as if everything was far away from him. The swords and blood rain on the rivers and lakes disappeared without a trace, what about Peking University?
The degree and Melander's reputation have lost any meaning, and even the identity of the earth master's successor is not wanted to be thought of.
After such a long time, he has become accustomed to the feeling when Tu Su is around, allowing him to relax without any distracting thoughts, which can soothe his feelings more than any famous mountains and rivers in the world. However, unknowingly, he was almost unaware of it.
It was like entering an orchid room for a long time without noticing its fragrance. But now, he suddenly felt that the world seemed strange.
What happened to Tu Su happened right in front of him. It was either a conspiracy in the sinister world or an accident. He is an outstanding master in the contemporary era. He is the best in martial arts and secret techniques. He has experienced countless dangerous killings. Everyone in the world admires or fears him.
But today, I watched Tu Su suffer in front of my eyes. Things are really impermanent. If Tu Su is gone like this, what is the meaning of everything he has cultivated?
You Fang didn't dare to think about it, but he was willing to think about it, so his mind was completely empty, with only a trace of spiritual thoughts extending invisibly to the operating room where Tu Su was.
Tu Suocheng also walked over from the door of the operating room to smoke. When he sat down without saying a word, he handed one to You Fang and lit it for him.
Before finishing a cigarette, Xie Xiaoxian came, wearing a police uniform, with a middle-aged man and a young man in his twenties. The young man was the traffic accident, and the middle-aged man was the young man’s father. They were
We come to discuss compensation, not only for medical expenses but also for the liability for the accident.
Tu Suocheng didn't want to talk about this now, but they still wanted to talk about it. The young man was obviously frightened, but his words were a bit unpleasant, at least his voice was a bit loud. You Fang suddenly stood up and said: "Is that you? Don't let it happen
I see you here, if anything happens to Tu Su, I will accidentally kill you!"
The young man was startled and took a step back. The middle-aged man said to Xie Xiaoxian: "Political Commissar Xie, did you hear that? We are here to compensate and apologize sincerely!"
Xie Xiaoxian replied expressionlessly: "So what if you heard me? Do you still want people to thank you? Some people are not interested in your compensation amount. This gentleman is a friend of the victim, not a family member."
When the young man heard that You Fang was not a family member, he said with some dissatisfaction: "What does this have to do with you? You are threatening me here. My father is..."
He was interrupted by You Fang before he finished speaking: "Illegal modifications, illegal left turns, speeding, you talk to the police about how to deal with it. If you think you can handle it, you can try it, I don't care.
Who is your father? At worst, I’ll kill him too!”
The young man's father was standing aside. There was no emotion in You Fang's tone when he spoke, just like an automatic answering machine set by a computer. He spoke each word without even a pause. The young man wanted to say something else, but
He was pulled by his father because he saw You Fang's eyes. Can eyes kill people? He didn't know, but the moment they looked at each other, he felt a stabbing pain in his mind.
You Fang still held a cigarette butt in his hand, and no one noticed that the green smoke rose between his fingers and condensed into the air, turning into a hazy dagger, which dispersed in an instant.
Xie Xiaoxian waved his hand and said: "You can handle it as you want. Your family members have also seen it. Now come back with me. This is not an ordinary traffic accident."
The perpetrator was led away again by Xie Xiaoxian with a straight face. Tu Suocheng's expression was similar to that of You Fang, and he also looked like he was lost. He could only wait outside the ward. Chi Muduo sat with them and looked at his watch.
At this time, Tu Suocheng seemed to have remembered something. He came back to his senses and spoke to You Fang in a hoarse and low voice: "Xiao Su will be fine. Don't delay your thesis defense. You can go, there is no use staying here.
"
You Fang shook his head: "Who says it's useless? She can feel that I won't leave until I'm out of danger."
Tu Suocheng was worried about his daughter's safety and was a little dazed. He didn't say anything more to You Fang. He stood up and walked up the stairs to the corridor. The interventional operating room was at the end of the corridor. In fact, the people standing there and sitting here
It was the same, but he couldn't sit still.
The time before and after was not long, Tu Su only stayed in the operating room for more than two hours, and Mo Xi came again, this time with a young woman and a energetic old man. The old man was his mentor, the famous
Professor Qu Zhengbo of Medicine, the woman is Professor Qu’s granddaughter, and Mo Xi’s counselor when she was an undergraduate student, Qu Yimin.
Qu Zhengbo was very familiar with this hospital. He changed his clothes and entered the operating room. About half an hour later, he came out. Following him was the director of the department. Tu Suocheng hurriedly greeted him: "Director Lian,
Xiao Su...?"
Director Chen looked a little tired, rubbed his hands and said: "It's okay, he is out of danger. He will be monitored for a while and transferred to the intensive care unit. As long as this kind of injury is controlled, there will be no major problems. He can be discharged after a week or so of rest."
It was quite easy to say such words. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Mo Xi also asked: "Professor Qu, is the patient really okay?"
Professor Qu smiled and nodded: "It's okay. I promise she will be fine. Your friend can rest assured."
"Are you really okay?" You Fang stood behind Tu Suocheng at some point and asked pitifully.
Professor Qu kept smiling, and this smile was very comforting: "Of course it's okay. You can rest for a day and you can resume eating the day after tomorrow. This is an emergency, and it will pass if it passes. It's just that your body will feel weaker, okay."
She is in good health at a young age and will be fine after a few days of rest."
Chi Muduo looked at his watch and said, "You Fang, it's still too late to rush to Peking University! If you don't get your degree, many people will be disappointed."
Tu Suocheng's expression also became "alive". He suddenly came to his senses, pushed You Fang and said, "Xiao You, why don't you leave quickly! I will tell Xiao Su."
You Fang coughed a few times and subconsciously wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand. There was a few drops of blood on the back of his hand. He was coughing up blood! Tu Suocheng and Chi Muduo were both startled, but Professor Qu waved his hand aside.
Said: "It's okay, he's okay!... Young man, you are practicing internal martial arts, right? Fortunately, the injury is not serious, and you can breathe again now, but you must rest tonight."
You Fang was injured when he caught Tu Su yesterday afternoon. His internal energy and spiritual thoughts exceeded their limits, and he burst out with speed and strength that he usually did not have. He vomited blood in an instant. He suffered the same injury when he was in Hainan.
The injury was not serious this time, but there was no nursing care at all from yesterday to now, let alone treatment.
After hearing that Tu Su was fine, You Fang relaxed and coughed up blood, which shocked everyone else, but Professor Qu said that he was fine, and Mo Xi's expression also relaxed a lot.
In fact, You Fang knew clearly whether something was wrong with Tu Su. Although he couldn't see her, he could feel it. This feeling was not something ordinary people could understand. He was sitting at the corner of the stairs, separated by the long corridor and the outside of the operating room.
It was as if she had been evacuated, but her spiritual thoughts extended very far and very subtly. It seemed that she could hear Tu Su's pulse and sense whether her blood pressure was stable and whether her breathing was normal.
But in the end, he had to wait for a positive answer before he could be completely relieved. He seemed so unconfident and needed others to comfort and confirm.
Tu Su turned the corner, and You Fang was fine. Otherwise, no one could say what kind of injury he would have suffered. When he followed Chi Muduo downstairs quickly, there was an old man at the other end of the corridor looking towards him.
It turned out to be Liu Li. The old man came to Beijing at some point, but he did not meet his apprentice. He was also staying in the hospital at the moment, looking like he had just breathed a sigh of relief.
