Chapter 476 540. The Tragedy of the Times

Xiong Huaxin didn't believe a single punctuation mark in Wang Liang's words. This guy must be making up stories about him.

But he was not angry, because Wang Liang's luck was really good, even if he slacked off occasionally, he would still achieve results faster than others.

Xiong Huaxin often thought that it would be great if he had a few more Wang Liangs under his command.

As summer approaches, the weather is getting hotter, but it is still relatively cool in the early morning. The air is filled with a fresh scent, and it seems that every breath of air can feel the vitality and vitality of summer.

"The spicy hot soup here is pretty good," Li Youliang commented as he drank it. "It tastes basically the same as Fang Zhongshan's."

Hu La Tang is a traditional soup common in Henan breakfast. The soup is mainly made of wheat flour and cooked beef and mutton.

It is made with nearly 30 kinds of pure natural plant medicinal materials such as Amomum villosum, Zanthoxylum bungeanum, pepper, cinnamon, angelica dahurica, hawthorn, licorice, costus root, cardamom, galangal, grass fruit, aniseed, cumin, and cloves, and is boiled in different proportions.

There are also different types of Hu La Tang. In Z Prefecture, the most common Hu La Tang is found in Xiaoyao Town. Its characteristic is that the soup is served in a large blue aluminum pot. It has a strong Chinese medicinal and spicy flavor, and the meat is mainly beef slices.

Gao Feng also likes this flavor and often comes here to eat recently.

Just as I stuffed the last fried bun into my mouth, something happened in front of me. A man suddenly fell straight to the ground, his body straight and foaming at the mouth.

Gao Feng thought it was an epileptic seizure. Just as he was about to go up with Li Youliang to take a look, he saw two people picking the man up and taking him away.

Gao Feng had the impression that he had seen this middle-aged man several times. He was dressed neatly, but he always looked a little shabby. He liked to wear a gray black jacket and walked on the street with a dazed look on his face. He would stop after a few steps with a blank look in his eyes.

"Oh! Brother Zhang is so pitiful, he has such a disease." The owner of the Hu La Tang shop sighed.

"Yeah, it's been so many years, but it still hasn't been cured. Epilepsy really does harm people." An older diner echoed.

"Uncle, what's going on?" Li Youliang, who was standing by, looked at his boss and seemed very interested, so he asked.

"This is Mr. Zhang's brother. He has always had this condition. He is said to have epilepsy." The boss said, "It has been more than 20 years."

"Not only that, he was here when I first started working." An older customer said, "At that time, it was your dad who served me spicy soup, and you were running around the street naked."

Teacher Zhang is the vice principal of the No. 2 Primary School on Weiwu Road nearby. She is very kind to students and almost all the residents here know her.

From the two of them, Gao Feng roughly knew what was going on.

"The tragedy of the times: A random accident may lead to someone's lifelong misfortune. Zhang Tianliang may miss himself 37 years ago, but... please find out the cause of his epileptic seizure, although it is too late. Completing the task will earn you 1 skill point, and failing will deduct 100 skill points." The system released the task.

"Youliang, go find out in detail what happened to that person just now."

"Okay." Li Youliang was stunned for a moment, then quickly agreed. He stood up, paid the bill and left.

This is an old residential complex that belongs to families in the education system. It is undoubtedly a bit shabby from today's perspective, but it was not easy to live in it decades ago.

You have to swipe the access card to enter the gate. There is an elderly man sitting next to the door. He is wearing a black uniform and is fanning himself with a big hat in his hand.

There are two big words printed on the back of the black uniform: Special Police.

Li Youliang was about to speak when the SWAT officer stood up and pressed the button to open the door.

"Are you here to rent a house?" the old man asked, "Have you made an appointment with the landlord?"

"Uncle, how do you know I'm a renter?"

"Young man like you, what else can you do here besides renting a house?" the old man said slowly.

Most of the landlords have moved out long ago, and now almost all the people living here are young people who work nearby, including quite a few who work at the Provincial Hospital. After all, it is close to their workplace and the rent is low.

"I'm really not here to rent a house." Li Youliang smiled and took out a cigarette and lit it for the old man.

"Oh, it's Huazi again." The old man took a sip and said, "Then what are you doing here?"

"I was having breakfast over there just now, and I saw a man having a seizure." Li Youliang said to the old man, "He looked 4.50 to years old, wearing..."

"That's Mr. Zhang's brother." He was interrupted by the old man before he could finish his words. "He was just given medicine and he's fine now."

"What's his situation?" Li Youliang asked.

"Oh! He's also a poor man." The old man sighed when he talked about this.

1982 was the fifth year since the national college entrance examination was resumed.

Whether in schools, factories or fields, countless young people picked up their books again to pursue their dreams. However, under the new exam format, only a handful of them were admitted to universities.

Under such circumstances, 17-year-old Zhang Tianliang, with the strong support of his parents and his own efforts, was successfully admitted to S Qiu Normal School, which made his family extremely proud.

He also once believed that hard work would change his destiny.

Looking at Zhang Tianliang's gentle and handsome appearance and bookish air, his parents felt that their child was born to be a scholar.

He likes to travel in the ocean of knowledge, likes to run towards the sunset, and is willing to stand on the three-foot podium to teach and educate people.

One night in July 1984, Zhang Tianliang was on his way back to the dormitory after fetching water when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and then fell to the ground unconscious.

The students passing by immediately contacted the teacher and sent him to the hospital, but their classmates saw a pool of bright red blood under the place where he fainted.

Zhang Tianliang was sent to the Sqiu District People's Hospital for treatment. His parents rushed over after receiving the news.

The doctor diagnosed him with acute cerebral hemorrhage and a lump on his head from when he fainted. He woke up after 19 days of symptomatic treatment.

A month later, Zhang Tianliang was discharged from the hospital. He thought it was just an accident, after all, he had always been in good health and there would be no problem.

Little did he know that this fainting was just the beginning of his miserable life.

In a blink of an eye, three years passed. After graduation, he was assigned to work in a primary school in Duji Town, Yucheng County, and there was nothing wrong with his health.

The principal welcomed Zhang Tianliang warmly, thinking that the school finally had a new person and the children would definitely be happy. Then he took him to the class he taught.

After a short adaptation period, he gradually became familiar with the children.

Zhang Tianliang is professional by nature, and with his gentle temper, patient teaching and profound knowledge, the children soon fell in love with him.

After class, he is easy-going and helpful, which makes his colleagues speak highly of him.

Every time they went home during the holidays, Zhang Tianliang's parents were very pleased to hear him talk about these things. With a stable job and a handsome son, they began to urge Zhang Tianliang to consider the major events in his life.

He is in his prime years and naturally has beautiful dreams about love and marriage.

Since there is a three-year probation period for the job, Zhang Tianliang would rather stabilize his career before talking about other things.

So he comforted his parents and told them to wait for two years before making a decision, and he worked harder.

In the second year, he fainted in class and inevitably dragged him into the abyss.

It was an ordinary day. Zhang Tianliang was writing on the blackboard when he suddenly felt a pain in his head and his eyes went dark. He knew nothing. When he woke up, he was already in the hospital.

After asking about his medical history, the doctor told him that he had epilepsy.

Zhang Tianliang was struck by lightning. He wanted to suppress the disease by taking medicine, but the disease was so severe that he fainted several times in class and was persuaded to drop out by the school leaders.

"Xiao Zhang, your health is the most important thing. I admire you very much, but your current physical condition is not suitable for teaching. You should just take care of your illness first."

The principal's words were euphemistic, but Zhang Tianliang understood them very well. Because of this uncontrollable disease, he was afraid that he would not be able to continue to fulfill his dream of standing on the podium.

In the following days, just as the doctor had diagnosed, he began to have illnesses at irregular intervals.

From falling to the ground at the beginning, to convulsions and foaming at the mouth, the situation became increasingly serious. Zhang Tianliang's job also gradually changed from being a primary school teacher to a marginal employee, only responsible for odd jobs.

The huge psychological gap was hard for him to accept and he became depressed.

His parents did not give up and took him to seek medical treatment everywhere. Although the disease was not under control, it at least gave Zhang Tianliang some confidence.

Decades later, his parents passed away and Zhang Tianliang could no longer maintain his strength.

He no longer had any hope of recovery, threw away the epilepsy medication he had brought with him, and wandered around in a daze, just wanting to end this miserable life as soon as possible.

This time, it was his sister who saved him.

Zhang Tianliang's younger sister was better than his father in academic performance. She also attended a normal school. After graduation, she was assigned to teach in a primary school in Zheng County, which was later called Zzhou.

When she saw her brother, Zhang Tianliang’s sister couldn’t stop crying. Is this still the suave brother she remembered?

She was filled with mixed feelings and decided to bring Zhang Tianliang to live with her in State Z.

The husband had some concerns at first. He and his wife were teachers at the same elementary school. Their salaries were meager and barely enough to support their family. Adding one more person would make it a stretch.

There was another problem, which was that they had no place to live. Their house had two bedrooms and a living room, one for their parents and one for them, so there was no other place.

"How could I be so blind as to fall for someone like you who has no sympathy!"

"You know my brother's situation. Isn't he just waiting to die at home?"

"Do you still have a conscience!"

"If you don't agree, then divorce!"

Her husband was helpless, but he also felt uncomfortable seeing his brother-in-law like this, so he simply separated half of the living room.

"Tianliang, my brother-in-law may not be very rich, but it won't be a problem to have one more person to feed. Just stay here and relax. There's nothing you can't handle."

After hearing what his brother-in-law said, Zhang Tianliang, a grown man, finally couldn't stop crying. Not wanting to go against the good intentions of his sister and brother-in-law, he stayed.

At night, he couldn't fall asleep for a long time and his head began to ache again.

This silent pain was like an invisible blunt knife, digging out his brain day after day, leaving him with long-lasting dullness and pain.

Zhang Tianliang thought about ending it all more than once, but his parents' faces kept appearing before his eyes.

He remembered that when he first contracted the disease, it felt like the sky was falling. He could no longer continue the career he loved, and he couldn't even maintain a normal life.

Fortunately, his parents were always by his side.

Ever since he fell ill and was marginalized by the school, his parents, who used to work the land at home and enjoy their retirement, had to pick up the hard work of making a living again and take him to seek medical treatment everywhere.

They never said a harsh word to this child who brought them glory and suddenly became a "burden". They just hoped that the child would live healthily and forget about career, money and fame.

During the years when his parents were alive, Zhang Tianliang tried his best to cooperate, seeing doctors, taking medicines, and even accepting superstitious methods that he, as a college student, scoffed at.

They have no other options left but to hope in whatever way they can find hope.

From youth to middle age, his parents took him to see doctors all the time.

Contrary to expectations, Zhang Tianliang's illness did not improve. Instead, it became more severe and more frequent as he grew older.

He would fall to the ground and lose consciousness from time to time, and in serious cases he would have convulsions and foaming at the head.

Every time he woke up, his thinking became more and more blocked, and he even began to have difficulty thinking. He knew very well what this meant.

Zhang Tianliang's thinking ability and IQ were slowly weakening, which made him panic and helpless. But he could not stop the deterioration of his condition, and he held on for a breath hoping for a miracle.

After waiting for more than ten years, what he waited for was the death of both his parents, which made his already broken world collapse.

He didn't want to seek treatment anymore and wandered the streets all day, waiting to fall ill and follow his parents.

Fortunately, he still has a younger sister, and the hardships brought by fate did not eliminate his possibility of making a living.

After settling down at his sister's house, Zhang Tianliang took anti-epileptic drugs on time as instructed.

Most of the time, he just sat silently in a corner, searching for those glorious years in his slowly receding memories.

In a blink of an eye, Teacher Zhang had a son, so the remaining half of the living room was converted into a room.

After their son started elementary school, he went to other classmates' homes to play and was stunned to see the spacious and bright living rooms.

"Why don't you seal this place off?"

"Why is it sealed off?" The classmate was very puzzled, "Is this the living room? Don't you have one in your house?"

"living room?!"

Later, the school distributed housing, and Teacher Zhang, who was a married couple, scored higher, so they were finally able to escape from their previous living conditions, and his son and his brother Zhang Tianliang moved into proper rooms.

"Teacher Zhang's family treated her brother very well." The old man said to Li Youliang, "It has not been easy over the years."

He is Teacher Zhang's old neighbor and is very familiar with Zhang Tianliang's situation.

"He just has occasional attacks now, but they go away once he takes the medicine."

"But his memory has not been good in recent years. It should be due to the medicine he takes." The old man sighed. A few years ago, Zhang Tianliang could still play chess with him.

Before, he was required to have a chariot and a horse, but now he can only have a horse.

"His IQ has dropped," the old man said. "How pitiful."

"Have you been to the hospital for a check-up?" Li Youliang asked.

"What do you think?" The old man felt that he was talking without thinking, "He is a healthy young man, but he suddenly got sick. His family must take him to see a doctor."

"In the first few years after coming here, Teacher Zhang took him to several hospitals, and they all said it was epilepsy and told him to take medicine regularly."

Li Youliang went to the house specifically to take a look. After knocking on the door, a boy of about his age came out to open it. It was Teacher Zhang's son.

"My uncle has just been sent back by the neighbors. He is much better now." He was helping Zhang Tianliang wash clothes.
