Xiao Wu has moved in with Lu Sheng. Xiao Wu goes to the police station during the day and goes directly back to Lu Sheng's house at night. Sometimes he comes back very late because he is on a mission at night.
Lu Sheng stayed up day and night, continuing to look for clues and thinking about the reasons why the murderer chose the road of prosperity. Most of the time at night, the master and the apprentice would discuss the case together, and Lu Sheng would also teach Xiao Wu some
Experience in handling cases.
After some time, the lives of the two of them started over and over again, as if they were stuck in the same place. Lu Sheng took the medicine that the old man sent, and the waking hours at night were as intermittent as before, with long and short periods of time.
Although he does not experience physical pain like some terminal diseases, the endless drowsiness is completely impacting Lu Sheng's mental state. Xiao Wu always looks at the master with distress, except using the case to distract the master from the pain.
There is no other way.
"Master, I went to several pharmacies, but I still couldn't find this medicine." Xiao Wu returned home, hanging his head and crying.
"This is a psychotropic drug. It's not that easy to buy. There's no need to go out and look for it." Due to lack of medicine, Lu Sheng's condition has not been very good recently. "Tell me, what happened today?"
"Brother Nan still puts me in charge of the Prosperity Road case, but he no longer interferes with it, and he will not deliberately avoid me with information about the 912 case. There is still no progress."
"If he keeps doing the same type of cases, he won't be as lucky as he was on Prosperity Road every time and encounter the car he wants." This is the unified idea of the two people, so Xiao Wu has always been targeted in the police force.
of looking for similar cases.
"Still haven't found any similar cases, but Brother Nan seems to have taken away a few case files." Xiao Wu explained the latest situation in detail.
"Look, your Brother Nan is not a vegetarian either." Lu Sheng said with some relief, "As long as there is action, it is good news. Maybe Lao Meng is investigating what we are concerned about."
After speaking, Lu Sheng stood up and walked towards the door, "Xiao Wu, I'm going out for a while."
"Master, let me accompany you. Your health has been so bad recently..."
"It's okay, it's nearby. You can come back alive." Lu Sheng insisted on going out without letting Xiao Wu accompany him.
The moment the door closed, Xiao Wu, who was still worried, saw Lu Sheng walking towards the roof.
…
"When... when... when..."
Lu Sheng came to the door of the old man's house and knocked gently on the door. The old man warmly welcomed Lu Sheng into the house.
Because it is upstairs and downstairs, the layout of the old man's house is exactly the same as that of Lu Sheng's house. The only difference is that it is cleaner, more smoky, and more like a home.
The old man looked at the haggard Lu Sheng and asked with concern, "My body seems to be getting weaker. What's wrong recently?"
"I'm busy with some important things, and I've finished taking the medicine." Lu Sheng finally mentioned the medicine. He didn't want to cause trouble to the old man, but his body and mind could hardly bear the endless torture.
"It's such an important thing, but you can't involve your body in it." The old man looked at Lu Sheng and said seriously.
"People have to have something to do, and I am relying on this to support myself now." Lu Sheng smiled helplessly and said softly.
"It's a three-part drug that's poisonous. Don't take the medicine I gave you too often, otherwise you'll develop dependence."
The old man had already taken some medicine, walked over, and handed it to Lu Sheng. After Lu Sheng took it, he immediately put it in his mouth and swallowed it.
"I still have some, but I won't give you that much. I'll give you a week's supply. From now on, you can come up and pick it up once a week."
"How much does this medicine cost, sir? I can't bother you like this all the time."
The old man smiled and waved to Lu Shengzhi.
Lu Sheng felt the care brought by the old man, and suddenly felt a little sad in his heart. He thought about all the experiences he had experienced over the years. Why did this person come to the world? Was it to experience the life and death separation from his beloved relatives? Is it because
Do you want to experience all the sufferings in the world? Or do you just want to have enough food and clothing every day until you die?
"Uncle, you are a doctor. After working in the hospital for so many years, have you become accustomed to life and death? Have you seen through birth, old age, illness and death? What are these life and death?"
Lu Sheng, who was tortured to the point of death, asked the old man, as if he was seeking answers and spiritual comfort.
Hearing Lu Sheng's question, the old man was surprised at first, then slowly walked to the sofa and sat down. After a moment of silence, the old man spoke thoughtfully.
"I am already so old, and I have some thoughts about life and death, but how can I see through it? I am getting closer and closer to the loess, and I am becoming more and more reluctant to let go of the world. What can I say about being reluctant to let go? I can't explain it."
The old man smiled mockingly and continued.
"No matter how careless you are, you still hope to live and live well. Only by living can you see everything, bad and good. When you get old, I hope you can leave with dignity."
Looking at the old man in front of him who was helping others and doing good deeds, Lu Sheng thought about how his short decades of life, the same human beings, were so different.
"Why are some people born with suffering? This suffering tortures the same person in different ways. What hope do such people have?" How much Lu Sheng hopes to have the same mentality as the old man, but the reality is, "Others
I can’t experience the suffering you have suffered, so I can only talk about good things that everyone knows.”
"That's what I think because I can't figure it out." The old man smiled slightly, knowing that Lu Sheng's words were not malicious to him, so he continued, "It seems that it will be helpful for you to come over and have a chat. At least you said it."
Your heart is not peaceful."
"It does feel more comfortable to speak out. It's been a long time since I've spoken so much from my heart."
The old man still smiled slightly and looked at Lu Sheng, "You have to continue to adjust your mentality. Of course, others will not understand your pain, and others will not figure everything out for you."
"Okay, I'll continue to think about it carefully. As you said, let's take a final look and see if it's good or bad." The effect of the medicine has started to work, and Lu Sheng's condition has improved. He finally said something that made people feel sad.
Seeing hope, "I have lost all my loved ones, and I want to see again whether this disease has killed me, or whether I have lost the disease."
Lu Sheng patted his sitting thigh with both hands, stood up, thanked the old man and went downstairs. Not long after returning home, Xiao Wu also came back from outside.
"Master, master, the explosion." Xiao Wu said excitedly when he saw Lu Sheng.
