The scorching sun.
The blazing sun.
There was a gentle breeze.
The lounge was quiet and peaceful.
The devil's ivy danced under the air conditioner.
The soil devil's ivy was thick and strong. Its branches and leaves had already entangled the pipes on the roof. It looked like it was trying to break out of prison. Only when the air conditioner's wind was turned to medium did it barely move, as if it was being forced by the prison guards.
Compared with the devil's ivy, the spider plants of the Sixth Academy were more carefully planted. There was a pot on both sides of the balcony, which was simple and elegant. It was not easy for people to touch them, just like ballet dancers. Those who did not like it would not deliberately look at it.
Novice monk Dong Sheng had already stayed in Beijing University Sixth Hospital for two days and one night.
Dong Sheng arrived two days earlier than the start of the semester so that he wouldn't be able to make it in time if something unexpected happened. The result of the smooth journey was that Dong Sheng had to book a room for the last batch of advanced studies at the Institute of Buddhist Studies.
As the saying went, "It is not easy to live in Chang 'an". The prices of goods in Beijing were perfectly reflected in the price of hotel rooms. Dong Sheng pinched his fingers and did some calculations. The cost of staying in a nearby hotel for a day was enough to buy a box of Mayinglong. A monk could not be so extravagant. Therefore, under the suggestion of the host, Dong Sheng looked for Zuo Cidian and begged for alms in exchange for a bed in Beijing University Sixth Hospital.
With a place to sleep, Dong Sheng felt incomparably at ease.
In the past day, he woke up early in the morning to clean up. Then, he went to the crystal cave on the surgical floor, chanted scriptures, and talked to people. Then, Dong Sheng returned to the lounge to do his homework, review, and prepare for the class.
Aside from massaging Ling Ran, Zuo Cidian, Zhang Anmin, and the others, Dong Sheng basically did not let go of his books for the rest of the day.
When it was noon, Dong Sheng went to the cafeteria to wait. He waited for Ling Ran and the others to finish their surgeries before they ate together.
Naturally, the meal was vegetarian.
However, in order to taste as good as possible, the chef inevitably used some expensive ingredients, such as some expensive mushrooms, fine bean products and so on.
Tian Qi would also run over during mealtime. To avoid traffic, Tian Qi rode her bicycle all the way. When she arrived at the restaurant, she already had a great appetite.
"What do you want to eat today?" Tian Qi came to the reserved table with anticipation.
Then, Ling Ran and Dong Sheng sat side by side, facing the sun. One of them was still reading, and the other was doing his homework.
One big and one small, both dressed in white.
Ling Ran was wearing a large white coat, while Dong Sheng was wearing a white T-shirt.
Both of them were so focused that they ignored all external objects.
Kacha kacha.
Tian Qi raised her phone and started taking pictures. She also quickly switched between multiple subjects.
In the end, Tian Qi looked at a black and white photo and sent a WeChat message to Mai Chun. [This is such a good photo. Should I send it to the magazine and let them publish it so that everyone can see it? The magazine would probably be sold out. “
Mai Chun replied with an "Oh" and asked, "Do you want me to help you contact the magazine? We usually come into contact with medical and health media, and we mainly deal with the social media through newspapers. However, if you want to find related magazines … "
"The magazine isn't a problem." After Tian Qi sent this WeChat message, she put away her phone and looked at Ling Ran from behind.
The two waiters who were about to serve the dishes looked at the three of them in confusion. What were these people talking about?
After a simple nine-course vegetarian meal, Ling Ran put down his chopsticks and said to Tian Qi, "Academician Du was transferred from the ICU to a general ward yesterday. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Sure. Professor Li always said that he wanted to see Academician Du, but he couldn't get into the ICU previously … "Tian Qi looked very happy and asked," In this case, does this mean that Academician Du's disease is cured? "
"If the surgery is successful, his life can be extended by at least a few years. However, no one can be sure that the cancer won't relapse." Ling Ran explained a little.
Tian Qi nodded slowly and sighed. "Doctor Ling's job is to save lives. That's great."
After the meal, the three of them walked to the ward together.
In the room, Academician Du's family was almost all crowded in the room. However, Academician Du was in good condition. He looked good, and he also had the strength to speak.
Ling Ran gave him a physical examination, and he thought quietly in his heart.
Ling Ran also needed to gradually figure out what kind of state he would be in after such a major surgery at such an old age.
In contrast, physical examination was palpation, and he needed to understand the patient's state more.
Li Xuechao, who had grayish-white hair, also walked in and greeted Academician Du.
"There's no need for so many people." Academician Du forced a smile and nodded at Li Xuechao.
"I wanted to come earlier, but I was held up by something." Li Xuechao apologized again as he spoke.
Academician Du had just finished the surgery, and his intelligence was obviously suppressed. He asked casually, "What is it?"
Li Xuechao smiled and hummed before he said, "We are exploring a non-ferrous metal mine in Nanzhi, and we're very busy. I just sent the documents to them, and then I came to see you. The bidding now is more troublesome than before. It's getting more and more troublesome. "
Academician Du finally understood a little. He smiled and said, "Unfortunately, the bidding has nothing to do with me. That's the work of the ministry."
"I know. Sigh, I'm just a little worried." The gray-haired old man looked even worse than Academician Du, who was lying on the bed. He was probably really tired.
Academician Du snorted and said, "I used to explore a few non-ferrous metal mines when I was in Nanzhi, but I never did a detailed survey. It's a waste."
"Now, it depends on the younger generation."
"I think there will be something in those mines." As Academician Du spoke, he felt tired.
After a while, the gray-haired Li Xuechao followed the crowd out and sighed. "What a pity. We can only ask about the situation when Academician Du is resting."
"Do you want to bid for the existing mines, or do you want to do an exploration?" The plump grandson followed behind him.
"What's the main difference?" Li Xuechao asked with a smile.
"Forget about the exploration. If you bid directly, you might have fewer competitors," the plump grandson said in a low voice. Fatty Sun whispered, "If it's a mine that hasn't been thoroughly investigated, the price will be cheaper, right?"
"Then, buy it." When Tian Qi heard this, she said, "We'll do as Academician Du said."
"Huh?" The plump grandson was stunned and asked, "Are we really buying it?"
Tian Qi nodded and said, "It's cheap anyway."
Li Xuechao smiled bitterly, and the plump grandson suddenly became nervous. "Um … What my grandfather means is that he guessed that there are mines, but he can't guarantee that there are really mines. Besides, the scale and conditions of the mines are very different. You can't just believe what you hear …"
"I believe in Academician Du," Tian Qi said concisely.
