The operating room door opened and two doctors walked out from inside.
Ah! Li Yuan immediately lifted his head, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Splash!
The people in the distance, whether awake or half asleep, suddenly all woke up and rushed over, surrounding the doctor in the center.
"Who's in charge here?" The doctor-in-charge scanned the room with his eyes, but didn't see Wan Qinghe.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Li Yuan and Chen Hui.
So much time has passed.
Li Changzhou's friends all knew about today's events and understood that Li Yuan was no longer what he used to be.
"Doctor, tell me, how is my uncle?" Li Yuan's voice was low and solemn.
"Are you Mr. Li Yuan?" The doctor sighed lightly: "This toxin is not a common poison on Blue Star, but a yuanli toxin. Your uncle sent it too late, the toxicity has already penetrated all over the body, sorry, we did our best."
Boom!
This sentence was like a thunderclap on a clear day, and Li Yuan's heart suddenly turned cold.
Aunt Chen Hui, who was standing beside her, had cried so much that she could no longer speak.
Li Qianqian and Li Muhua, the two siblings, also turned pale, they both understood the situation.
"Mr. Li Yuan, we will use half a day's time and special medication to make your uncle's physical condition slightly recover, then let him regain consciousness." Another doctor hastily said: "But it is estimated that it can only be maintained for about half an hour."
"This time I'm sober, probably for the last time."
Then he would fall back into a deep sleep and it would be hard for him to wake up again.
"If there's anything else to be said, let's make time for it then."
……
The next day afternoon, past three o'clock.
In the deluxe ward.
Li Changzhou, who had undergone surgery, had his body slightly cleaned up, covered with a quilt, and was inserted with tubes all over.
His face was pale and haggard, and he regained consciousness.
Li Yuan, Chen Hui, Li Muhua and Li Qianqian, the whole family, held back their tears, wearing sterile gowns, surrounded the bed.
"Xiao Hui, I'm sorry."
Li Changzhou's voice was very weak, his head slightly tilted, and he struggled to lift his hand to stroke Chen Hui's face: "In this life, the person I owe the most is you."
"Changzhou, don't say that." Chen Hui's eyes were red, her lips pursed, and she was trying with all her might not to let tears fall.
She looked at this man she had loved for a lifetime, withered and unrecognizable, her heart aching to the extreme.
"Remember to take out the money left on my card, you know the password. After I leave, find Old Wang and he can help you with the compensation from the company..." Li Changzhou instructed repeatedly.
Li Yuan's station next door, couldn't help but lean to one side, tears kept falling down.
Li Qianqian and Li Muhua had cried until they became tearful people.
"Alright, alright, I know, I'll take good care of the child." Chen Hui kept responding to her husband while pulling Li Yuan: "Li Yuan! Come quickly!!"
"Changzhou, do you know? Li Yuan has signed with Kunlun Wu University, he will definitely go to Kunlun Wu University."
"He also signed an A-level contract with Xinghuo Wudian." Chen Hui held Li Changzhou's hand, saying to him nonstop.
Want Li Changzhou to leave with peace of mind.
"Really? Alright! Good!" Li Changzhou exerted himself to lift his head a little, looking at Li Yuan and squeezing out a faint smile: "Little Yuan, you seem to have grown taller again."
"Uncle." Li Yuan's voice was trembling slightly as he squatted down, drew closer to his uncle, and let him touch his head.
"You've grown up and achieved success in martial arts, I can finally rest at ease." Li Changzhou's voice was weak: "Your parents were over ten years older than me, they had you very late."
"In these years, I often think of them."
"I still remember the last thing your parents said to me, 'Run! Run forward! Run fast!' Li Changzhou murmured: "It's been almost fifteen years, I've been trying my best to run, sometimes I'm so tired and want to stop for a bit, looking at you, looking at your younger brother and sister, but can't stop... When I see your older brother and sister-in-law, I hope they won't blame me, I really did my best."
"Uncle!!" Li Yuan could no longer bear it, he wanted to remain calm, but the tears in his eyes still flowed uncontrollably.
He could feel his uncle's life force rapidly ebbing away.
"Mu Hua, Qian Qian." Li Changzhou's hand trembled as he raised it.
"Come over here quickly, Muhua and Qianqian." Chen Hui pulled Li Muhua to the front of the bed.
Let them be closer to their father.
"You, from now on listen to your mom's words." Li Changzhou reluctantly raised his hand and stroked Li Qianqian's hair: "Dad hasn't done anything big in this life, doesn't have much to leave for you, when I'm not around, listen more to your older brother's words, he'll tell you what to do, got it?"
"Got it, Dad."
"Dad." The two siblings had cried until they were tearful.
Their age and experience make them less sensitive to life and death.
But they all knew that their beloved father was about to leave them soon.
"Uncle, I will definitely take good care of Qianqian and Muhua." Li Yuan choked back tears and said: "You can rest assured."
Time flies.
Li Changzhou started coughing, his withered body shaking constantly.
But he still tried his best to talk with Li Yuan and Chen Hui.
His eyes held a deep affection and reluctance towards this world.
"Xiao Yuan."
"Remember, don't blame anyone for what happened to me."
"I will miss you all."
"But I don't regret it... give me another chance and I'll still charge forward... cough, cough!" Li Changzhou's consciousness gradually faded away.
Li Changzhou lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling with both eyes, and gradually couldn't hear Li Yuan and Chen Hui's shouts.
In a daze.
Li Changzhou vaguely felt himself returning to his youth, back to a sunny afternoon.
The spring light is just right, a gentle breeze blows into the room, and the fan hums as it blows.
Outside the room, it was the sound of parents cooking and stir-frying.
He lay lazily on the bed in the room, half asleep and half awake.
His older brother in high school sat beside him, diligently doing his homework, occasionally stopping to tease him with an outstretched hand.
Decades later.
Li Changzhou has been running hard all along, without a moment's pause, but can never have such an afternoon again.
……
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Changzhou fell into a deep coma.
Two doctors came in again to examine Li Changzhou's body, shook their heads and left once more.
Chen Hui tightly grasped Li Changzhou's hand, opening her mouth but unable to say anything, tears just flowing.
Li Yuan quietly stayed by his aunt's side.
They all knew that Li Changzhou's life had truly entered the countdown phase.
It may be just a few hours, or it may be half a day, but eventually the flame of life will be extinguished.
More than ten minutes later.
Suddenly.
"Ah!" The doors suddenly opened and a doctor rushed in, anxiously saying: "Mr. Li Yuan, someone is looking for you, they say there's a way to save your uncle."
Wow!
Li Yuan immediately stood up, and a glimmer of hope reignited in his heart: "Who is it?"
"What?" Chen Hui also heard it and hastily got up to look at the doctor.
"The other party only said that it was Miss Lin's friend." The doctor said, "Specifically who didn't say, but a lot of people came, one of whom claimed to be Lu Huai and said you knew him."
Two sentences.
Like two flashes of lightning, they flashed through Li Yuan's mind.
Miss Lin? Lu Huai?
"Take me there immediately." Li Yuan strongly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said repeatedly: "Auntie, come with me."
"Good." Chen Hui Lian wiped away the tears on her face.
She realized from Li Yuan's attitude that perhaps there was indeed hope of saving her husband.
Li Yuan and his aunt hastily made their way to a small conference room outside the corridor, where more than ten people were already waiting.
Not just doctors, Xu Bo is also there.
But what caught the attention of everyone was a man in black standing in the center of the crowd, he was about 1.8 meters tall, with a face that looked around thirty years old, and his eyes were extremely sharp.
His face gave Li Yuan a sense of familiarity.
Most importantly, the master of the Guanshan branch of the Starry Sky Sword Pavilion, 'Lu Huai', whose physique was originally even more majestic, now stood beside the black-robed man as if he were a subordinate.
Everyone looked at Li Yuan.
"Respectful greetings, sir." Li Yuan spoke calmly and looked at the man in black: "May I ask who you are?"
Lu Huai was just about to introduce himself.
The man in black robes raised his hand, stopping Lu Hai's thoughts, and smiled slightly: "No need to call me senior, I'm not much older than you, just call me Lin Dage."
"Big Brother Lin?" Li Yuan was slightly startled in his heart and already had an answer, respectfully saying: "Big Brother Lin, do you have a way to save my uncle?"
Li Yuan didn't ask for reasons, and at this moment these were unimportant.
Yes!
The man in black nodded: "I have brought a special treasure called 'Yan Tong Ling Quan', with an 80% guarantee that it can save your uncle's life and prevent the toxin from acting up again."
"But I've already heard the doctor's general account of the situation."
"The inflammation has penetrated deep into your uncle's body, even eroding his nerves. Even if he manages to survive, it's uncertain whether he'll regain consciousness." The man in black said, "You must prepare yourself."
"Besides."
"There are two possibilities, Yan Tong Ling Quan may not work, and the toxin has been in the body for too long, with no absolute success rate."
"Will you do it or not? The decision is yours." The man in black robes looked at Li Yuan.
"Do it." Li Yuan said resolutely.
"Act." Chen Hui also said, acting, there is still a possibility of survival, not acting will surely die.
"Go."
"You sign, and my people will begin the detoxification procedure." The man in black nodded.
Someone immediately handed over the contract.
Li Yuan glanced over it and saw that it was a 'waiver of liability contract'. He signed without hesitation, followed by Chen Hui.
"Go."
The man in black robes waved his hand and seven or eight people beside him immediately rushed into the room carrying boxes.
……
Four hours later, outside the ICU ward.
Li Yuan and his aunts Chen Hui, Li Qianqian, and Li Muhua were all standing by the window.
Looking at Li Changzhou in the ward, whose vital signs had gradually stabilized, he couldn't help but feel excited and joyful.
"Thanks, Brother Lin!" Li Yuan said seriously, looking at a black-robed man on one side.
"You're welcome."
"I'm just doing someone a favor." The man in black smiled and said: "The rescue was successful, but whether your uncle can wake up... I have no say in that."
"It's up to you from now on."
"I'll leave first." The man in black robe smiled faintly and quickly left with more than a dozen men.
Leave Li Yuan and his family behind.
"Xiao Yuan, who is this Lin brother?" Chen Hui couldn't help but ask.
"Who is it?" Li Yuan already had an answer in his heart, and smiled: "The person who saved Uncle."
……
One day, two days.
Li Changzhou is still unconscious, but his vital signs are becoming more stable and he is gradually recovering.
Chen Hui is temporarily taking leave from school.
She also drove Li Yuan away from school: "Your uncle is not awake, are you going to stay here all the time? I'm here, focus on preparing for the college entrance exam."
"When your uncle wakes up, you should also strive to get into Kunlun Wu University, he will definitely be very happy."
"Alright, Aunt! I will definitely get into Kunlun Wu Dao University." said Li Yuan.
……
Four days later.
Li Yuan returned to school once again and immediately found Gu Qianghan.
"Are you looking for my sister?"
"The day before yesterday, she left with her older brother." Gu Qiang looked at Li Yuan with a confused expression: "Don't you know? Didn't she tell you?"
Gu Qiang Han obviously didn't know what had happened in Li Yuan's home.
"Did she leave with her older brother?" Li Yuan was taken aback.
"Where did she go? When will she come back?" Li Yuan asked.
"She's gone to Flying Star, it seems like she's going for some special training." Gu Jian said: "I reckon she'll be back before the college entrance exams."
"Shooting star?" Li Yuan's pupils contracted slightly.
The seven major planets of human civilization, the strongest planet is 'Fei Xing'.
The headquarters of the Three Great Martial Halls is located in Feixing.
The headquarters of the Seven Star Alliance is in Feixing.
The first strongest human being Dongfang Ji and the second strongest Lan Te are both in Fei Xing.
Flying Star, there is no country, completely dominated by the three major martial halls.
"Will I be back before the college entrance exam?" Li Yuan muttered to himself.
