There were many people in the courtyard, some of whom were doctors wearing white coats.
These people were communicating in a low voice. When Li Yang and the others came in, they immediately shut up and waited for Li Yang and the others to enter the room before they started talking again.
They are the best doctors in various hospitals in Wacheng. The medical care conditions in this house are better than those in all hospitals in Wacheng.
Gao Bo took them directly into the inner room.
The room was large, but there were not many people in it. Except for the two doctors who were always there, there were only a few people called General Thornton. General Thornton's face was a little miserable, with a sense of sadness.
In front of him was a bed, and an old man was lying on the bed.
"Uncle!"
Sandara hurriedly walked to General Thornton's side. General Thornton looked back at him, did not speak, and just nodded lightly.
The Emerald King walked directly to the bedside. The doctor over there looked back and saw that General Thornton didn't speak, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Li Yang walked to the other side. The old man lying on the bed was very familiar to him. He was a very optimistic and cheerful old man. Even when he was lying on the bed, he still had a faint smile on his face.
Looking at the old man with his eyes closed on the bed, Li Yang's nose felt a little sore and he hurriedly turned around.
"General Thornton, how could this happen?"
"Myocardial infarction and heart failure are very serious. Mr. Zhuo usually has some heart problems, but I didn't expect it to be so serious this time!"
General Thornton struggled to say a few words, some of which he did not say. The doctor said that Mr. Zhuo might not be able to persist until tomorrow morning, so he could make some preparations in advance.
Li Yang turned around again and looked at the familiar face on the bed, feeling sad in his heart.
Birth, aging, illness and death are inevitable for everyone. Zhuo Lao is over seventy years old and is not too young. In addition, he has suffered serious injuries in the past, so his body itself cannot compare with other people.
It's just that the news came too fast and suddenly, which made Li Yang unable to accept it for a while.
Sundala and Uncle Gao's expressions became even uglier. Even Wang Jiajia's eyes were red. When he came last time, he was still an optimistic and cheerful old man. But this time he saw her again, but she was lying on the bed, still.
I know if I can make it through the night.
"Alang..."
On the other side, the Jade King suddenly said, Mr. Zhuo's name is Zhuo Lang. No one has called him this name for a long time. Even the Jade King usually calls him Lao Zhuo when he sees him.
Alang was their name when they were young.
The Jade King said softly, with tears still in the corners of his eyes. He and Mr. Zhuo have known each other for almost fifty years, and this relationship is unmatched by anyone.
If it hadn't been for that accident that year, the jadeite world might not be the Southern King and the North Sage now, but two heroes competing for hegemony.
Back then, Mr. Zhuo had a strength that was no less than that of the Jade King. With joint progress, Mr. Zhuo will achieve higher and better development. When he returns to the country, his achievements and reputation will definitely be no less than those of the Jade King.
It may even be stronger. The Jade King admitted more than once that Zhuo Lao's overall strength was stronger than him.
The Jade King's voice filled the room with a sense of sadness. Mr. Zhuo closed his eyes and lay on the bed, showing no reaction except for the faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
Mr. Zhuo had completely lost consciousness at this moment.
"Li Yang, before Mr. Zhuo fell ill, he was still talking about you. He said you were the most talented person he had ever seen!"
Having said this, General Thornton paused and looked at the Jade King. The Jade King still lowered his head and looked at Mr. Zhuo on the bed, muttering something that no one could understand.
"He said that your talent is even stronger than that of the Emerald King. He already knew before the last bet between you and the Emerald King that the winner would definitely be you. You are a real genius. He also said that in the future,
It will be yours alone!”
General Thornton counted slowly. This was actually what he and Mr. Zhuo talked about in the afternoon. I wonder if Mr. Zhuo had a premonition himself. He talked a lot in the afternoon.
He said that before Li Yang and the Jade King had a bet, he had already guessed that the two would have a fight. He knew the temperament of the Jade King, so it was best to challenge him. If Li Yang beat him, the Jade King would definitely take the initiative to challenge him.
Li Yang.
Everything in the end was also part of his guesses, and he guessed them all correctly.
He spent the whole afternoon with General Thornton, and they were going to have dinner together in the evening, but the accident happened before dinner.
If Mr. Zhuo hadn't been in the manor all the time, the result might have been worse.
Li Yang slowly turned around. Mr. Zhuo had a very high opinion of him. He had known this for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be so high. The future belonged to him alone, which meant that no one would be able to talk to him.
compared to.
This is already a very high praise.
If this were said by others, it might be regarded as a joke, but coming from Mr. Zhuo's mouth, no one would doubt that Mr. Zhuo is usually a very serious person and has never said anything big.
Li Yang's eye circles slowly turned red, and the unexpected equipment next to him kept flashing. Every data was extremely low, and all reached the warning level.
Speaking of which, this is Li Yang's second visit to Myanmar, and it is also the first time he sees Mr. Zhuo after leaving last time.
But he didn't expect that they would meet again on such an occasion. He seemed to still have Zhuo Lao's hearty laughter in his mind, as well as the scene where he slowly explained his mining experience to him.
There was also the first time the two had a bet, and Mr. Zhuo invited him with a smile. Although the winner was Li Yang in the end, Mr. Zhuo was not depressed at all, but instead felt very happy.
Li Yang still remembers what Mr. Zhuo whispered to him at that time.
After all, Mr. Zhuo is a disabled person. He can gamble on stones, but not on mines. He can't see the stones. He can touch the stones, but he cannot find a vein. The only person who can really gamble on the mines is Li Yang.
He hoped that Li Yang could make a good bet on a mine and help the Thornton family escape the crisis.
Mr. Zhuo said at that time that he was not from the Thornton family, but this family was kind to him and treated him best. He couldn't help at the critical moment, and he felt guilty in his heart.
To this day, Li Yang still remembers the joy he felt when he said these words, and told Li Yang everything he knew about the gambling and mining. In all of this, he just hoped that Li Yang could let the family survive this time.
of crisis.
He said at that time that he believed in Li Yang and Li Yang would not let him down.
Afterwards, although Mr. Zhuo did not see Li Yang again, he expressed his respect and admiration for Li Yang on many other occasions. In his eyes, Li Yang's ability to bet on rising mineral veins was not accidental, but inevitable.
Recalling all this, Li Yang's eyes couldn't help but feel a little moist.
In fact, Li Yang himself knew in his heart that Mr. Zhuo treated him like this not just because he could help Sundala's family. If it was just that, he only needed to tell his experience of gambling in the mines. There was no need to share all his experiences.
Teach it to yourself.
The instrument suddenly changed, and the two doctors hurriedly stepped forward. Li Yang and Jade King both took a step back.
The two doctors worked hard for a while and gave him a cardiotonic injection, finally returning to normal. However, Zhuo Lao did not wake up and was still lying on the bed.
Even doctors can't guarantee whether Mr. Zhuo will be able to wake up in the end.
This time, Mr. Zhuo's condition was really serious. If it weren't for the best medical conditions in the city and the timely arrival of the doctor, Mr. Zhuo might not have been able to survive until now.
The two doctors worked hard for a while, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
General Thornton looked at them. They just shook their heads. They were just doctors, not gods. Some diseases could be cured, while others could not be cured. The current disease was one that they were unable to do anything about.
The Emerald King walked over again and gently grabbed one of Zhuo Lao's hands. His tears finally couldn't be restrained and he said some words while crying. Li Yang did not hear clearly what he said.
This is just what an old man tells his friends, as long as they understand it themselves.
Ma Juntao stood behind him. He also followed this time. He was worried about the Jade King coming alone. This matter was different from usual. The old man was very taboo about his mood being greatly affected.
The Jade King is also over seventy years old.
Li Yang slowly walked to the other side, stretched out his hand, and gently grabbed Zhuo Lao's other hand, which was full of wrinkles but not dry.
Mr. Zhuo was suffering from an acute illness, unlike some old people who were as skinny as a stick in the end. His fingers were still covered with thick calluses, which were formed by stroking wool for a long time.
Zhuo Lao was able to stand up again after losing his sight, relying not only on hearing and feeling, but also on his countless efforts. Because he could not see with his eyes, he paid more attention to his hands. The wool he touched with his own hands was better than Li Yang's special abilities.
There are much more wool materials that have been observed.
Li Yang's special ability is that he has observed two major auctions, and together they have hundreds of thousands of pieces of wool. He has touched hundreds of thousands of pieces of wool with his own hands. That is an almost unimaginable number.
Holding Zhuo Lao's hand, Li Yang also shed tears. Sundala and others on the side also covered their faces at this moment. This news was very unexpected for any of them.
General Thornton said nothing and stood quietly aside.
Ten minutes later, the instrument rang again. This time, Li Yang and the others were invited outside, and some doctors ran in. After more than half an hour, they were allowed back inside.
Looking at the doctor's heavy expression, everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts.
General Thornton has already begun to order people to prepare the funeral hall. Mr. Zhuo has no children in his life. He has always lived in his own family. They are the only ones who can make the final effort to prepare for Mr. Zhuo's funeral.
At that time, Mr. Zhuo already had a good reputation. After the accident, it was General Thornton's father who took him in and always treated him with sufficient respect.
Later, Mr. Zhuo stood up again and became famous. He also helped the Thornton family a lot. Not to mention other things, Mr. Zhuo made a lot of profits for General Thornton and his family just by betting on stones.
Mr. Zhuo himself doesn't need to use the money, and he can't see it. The jade he gambled out basically belongs to the family.
For this reason, General Thornton should also handle the funeral.
