Chapter 168 The length of life

In the darkness, she kept her eyes open, no sleep at all, and her mind could not calm down for a long time.

Anna said that Chang Wenbing was diagnosed with ALS, a disease she had never heard of before.

Anna patiently explained to her what ALS was. The speaker's tone was calm, but she fell into confusion and fear that she had never experienced before.

How could a disease that most people in their forties and fifties suffer from fall on Chang Wenbing?

Small probability events, after all, have a certain probability, but unfortunately, this small probability hit Chang Wenbing.

The current medical level is unable to cure this disease and can only provide symptomatic sustained-release treatment. The survival period is two to six years, and there is almost no miracle.

At the end, Anna smiled slightly and said very optimistically: "It was discovered early and there is still time. Maybe a treatment will be found in the next two years."

They have no choice but to be optimistic.

His throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he used all his strength to break through the blockage and let out a hoarse and unpleasant voice: "Why didn't anyone in the family tell you, only me?"

Anna said softly: "He said that you are the most thoughtful child in the Chang family, and they have listened to you since childhood. This tells you in advance that you always have a way to convey information to others in the most appropriate way to reduce harm. "

After saying what needed to be said, Anna gradually fell asleep in silence, leaving her struggling in the dark night.

Her brother Wen Bing is not yet thirty years old.
Human life will always come to an end, but Chang Wenbing's end is too short. She doesn't accept it, but what can she do if she doesn't accept it?
There are many things that no one can change.

If you can't change, you can only accept it. After accepting it, learn to deal with everything with a normal heart, and then wait for the final moment to arrive.

She understands, she understands, but the raging pain still spreads from the bottom of her heart. It hurts to think, to breathe, and to hold her breath.

If the pain is so extreme that it is numb, then you will not feel the pain.

On the first day of the new year, when she washed her face, brushed her teeth, and sat neatly at the dining table, she was already in a state of numbness from the pain. No one noticed her abnormality, except for the stone.

After dinner and going to pay New Year greetings, she could still laugh and joke as usual, and she didn't even behave strangely when facing Chang Wenbing.

Chang Wenbing returned home after paying New Year's greetings. She didn't know if she would be beaten. She felt very distressed.

"I want to go skating, you go with me." Shitou suddenly took her arm and dragged her towards the small river ditch in front of the village.

Nowadays, children have more toys and TVs to watch. Fewer and fewer children go skating on the ice in the winter. The small river ditch is very deserted. Even the wind seems to be much stronger than when it was young.

She suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she and her brothers went skating together. The sky was very blue and the wind was very strong that day. The snow was rolled up, and the snow like coarse salt particles hit her face, which hurt her face.

She was sitting on the ice cart, and Chang Wenxi was pulling her in front. The speed was very fast. She wanted to shout for the wind and snow to stop, but she couldn't speak.

Just when she was at a loss, Chang Wenbing caught up from behind and stopped Chang Wenxi. He wrapped a scarf with his own body temperature around her face, leaving only her breathing nose and eyes exposed. Her brothers all said that she looked special. Ridiculous, but really warm.

As the past unfolded, the warmth that that scarf brought to her seemed to still be there, warming her face and burning her heart.

"Jiu'er? What happened?"

The cool touch on her cheek pulled her out of the whirlpool of the past, her vision focused, but her eyes were still blurry.

she cried.

Tears were streaming down his face, and the wiping speed of the stone could not keep up with the tears, so he simply opened his down jacket and hugged her, letting her wipe her tears and snot on the new sweater he bought for the first day.

After completely releasing the pent-up emotions in my heart, my tears slowly stopped, and I told Shi Shi about Chang Wenbing intermittently.

Shi Shi caressed her back and whispered in her ear: "Maybe the situation is not as serious as you think. Your understanding of the disease is limited to Anna's description. If you know more about it, you may be able to find a treatment. Wen Brother Chuang doesn’t know yet, right? How about we tell him first, he is a doctor and he must have more ideas than us.”

At this time, you really need to have a clear-headed person by your side. Shitou's few words seemed to make things clear. The outcome may not be good, but at least you know what to do now.

She called Chang Wenchang and asked him to come to Xiaohegou to find them without letting her family know.

Chang Wenchuang came after a while, with a long scratch on his cheek, not deep but with faint blood oozing out.

"How did you fix your face?" She asked Chang Wenchang with concern.

Chang Wenchuang wiped the scratches as if to vent his anger, and said in a muffled voice: "The fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond, and I was the poor fish. My mother and father were trying to deal with my second brother, and I just wanted to pull him out. My mother cut my face like this. My elder brother and sister-in-law tried to persuade me, but Li An was so frightened that he cried. It’s so fucked up this year.”

After venting, he realized something was wrong and asked her hurriedly: "Xiaojiu, why did you ask me to come to this cold and howling windy creek? If you don't want others to know, what happened? Have you ever cried?"

"Brother Wen Chuang, do you know about ALS?" she asked with difficulty.

Chang Wenchuang nodded in confusion: "I know, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a terminal disease. Without a cure, you can only wait to die. What's wrong? Why do you ask about this disease? Someone you know has it?"

She looked at Chang Wenchuang intently, tears falling again uncontrollably.

Chang Wenchuang felt something in his heart, his expression gradually became serious, and he asked solemnly: "Who? Who in our family has it? Brother Wen Xi? Impossible, too young. Is that the uncle? Or who? Don't cry first, tell me who has it. ?”

She replied with difficulty: "Young people can also get it, it's just a small probability event."

Chang Wenchuang suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at her in disbelief. Before she said Chang Wenbing's name, he said, "That's my second brother, right? No wonder. After picking them up in the provincial capital, we went to have dinner together." , I noticed that his chopsticks were not stable and I joked that he couldn’t even use chopsticks after staying abroad for a long time.”

He squatted on the ice with his head in his hands. Although Chang Wenchang couldn't see his face, he could tell from his shaking shoulders that he was crying.

Chang Wenchuang was stronger than her. After a while, he gathered his emotions and sat down on the ice. He looked up at her and said, "Tell me what is going on and let's find a solution together."

It was almost not that difficult the second time. After saying this, she squatted down and took Chang Wenchuang's hand, and asked with hope and fear: "Brother Wenchuang, tell me the truth, this disease is really serious." Is it impossible to cure it? Are there any promising research results? Even if it cannot be cured now, will there be any new breakthroughs in the next few years? "

What responded to her was Chang Wenchuang's averted gaze.

The silent answer was cold and ruthless, my swollen heart throbbed a few times, and my clear thoughts became muddy again.

The three figures were like three ice sculptures, keeping one movement in the cold wind for a long time. Finally, the stone broke the silence first.

"Brother Wen Bing clearly knows what is going on with him and yet he brought his partner back to get married. This shows that he is more optimistic and positive than us. Let's stop sighing and crying and think about what to do next." Shitou said in a low voice. .

"The eldest brother and the second brother know that they are out of town and can't help. Wen Jianwen is still young and may not be able to hold on and the secret will be exposed. Brother Wen Dong's family is in a mess now and he has no time to take care of himself, so this matter will be discussed with Brother Wen Yu and my third brother for the time being. Tell me, brother Wenyu can help stabilize the family, and my third brother has connections with experts at home and abroad. He can help contact him." After saying this in one breath, she stood up and roared out the turbid air in her chest, and then patted He patted Chang Wenchang on the head and said loudly: "The sky hasn't fallen yet, cheer up."

Chang Wenchuang also imitated her and shouted. It seemed that the effect was not satisfactory and he slapped himself hard, cheering himself up and said: "Cheer up! I am a doctor, I can't give up before the patient."

On Chang Wenyu's side, Chang Wen rushed over and said that Chang Wenping would naturally be left to her, and nothing could go wrong if we split up.

After spending the first and second days of the new year in a mess, she finally found a chance to talk to Chang Wenbing.

Shitou helped to cover outside the hut. She closed the door of the hut and turned around to look at Chang Wenbing who was sitting on the edge of the Kang and smiling at her.

Her nose was sore and tears instantly filled her eyes, but she held back the tears and at the same time showed a big smile to Chang Wenbing.

She said in a joking tone: "Brother Wen Bing, you really don't make people worry."

Chang Wenbing grinned, hissing and his face wrinkled into a bun.

"Your second aunt is so cruel. My mouth is bleeding. It hurts." Chang Wenbing covered his face and said aggrievedly.

At this moment, the 28-year-old Chang Wenbing seemed to be the same as him when he was a boy. He was sunny, optimistic and bright, and he was the Wen Bing who could laugh it off no matter what happened.

She walked up to Chang Wenbing, stretched out her hand to touch his swollen cheek, leaned in and blew air like she did when she was a child, and muttered: "Blow it and it won't hurt anymore."

"Xiaojiu."

Chang Wenbing couldn't hold back the tears first, stretched out his arms to hug her and said softly and vaguely: "Why me? Why me."

She also wanted to ask why it was her brother Wen Bing.

But who to ask? Who can give the answer?
nobody.

Ever since she heard Anna talking about Chang Wenbing's condition last night, she had been blaming herself.

If, before her rebirth, she had paid more attention to the Chang family's situation, then she would have known that Chang Wenbing was ill, so she could have taken precautions early after she was reborn, and perhaps this disaster could have been avoided.
There is no what if, if you don't pay attention, you don't pay attention. If you don't know, you don't know. Things that should happen in the blind spot of her memory will still happen, and she can't change anything.

She knew she couldn't blame herself, but she felt better when she blamed herself. Using one kind of pain to suppress another kind of pain was an effective way to fight fire with fire.

Chang Wenbing's tears faded as quickly as they came. When he let go of her, there were no traces of tears on his face, and there was still a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Xiaojiu, I'm sorry to trouble you about my brother."

"How can your matter be trouble? I'm very happy that you can think of me first if something happens." After a pause, she smiled bitterly: "But it's best not to let such a thing happen again. I really can't bear it."

Sitting next to Chang Wenbing, she solemnly talked to him about some of the problems that were troubling her.

"Brother, what's going on between you and Sister Anna? She knows your situation and is willing to come back and get married with you. What does she think? What do you think?"

Speaking of Anna, regret and sentimentality flashed across his face.

"When I found out, I told her to break up, but she didn't want to. She also said that life is inherently long and short and we can't decide, but we can completely control whether we are happy or not. I told her that continuing to be together would delay her. Youth, how do you think she attacked me?"

Chang Wenbing smiled sadly and continued: "She said that delay is a very subjective concept, and everyone's judgment standards are different. I think it is a delay, but she thinks it is worth it. She also told me not to worry about the future. She lived a good life with her children before she met me, and she will live a good life without me in the future, and I will become a wonderful chapter in her life.”

"Brother Wen Bing, you are so lucky to have met Anna. If you encounter any problems back home, you can tell me and I will solve them. By the way, what are your work arrangements? Do you want to change your job? Come to the provincial capital. Well, Wen Chuang, Wen Ping, Wendong, and Shitou are all here, so we can take care of you if you need anything."

Not only was she thinking about Chang Wenbing, she was also thinking about Anna's work.

"Sister Anna can come to work in my company. Don't look at the benefits of just being a teacher in an educational institution. She will definitely earn more than you do now!"

The arrangement was quite good, but it was a pity that Chang Wenbing had no intention of accepting it.

Chang Wenbing rubbed her head and chuckled: "Anna and I have no plans to change careers for the time being. I have returned to my original employer. Many companies that cooperate with our employer are recruiting people. Anna's ability is not what the job chooses for her." She picks jobs at will, you don’t have to worry about this for us.”

"Is it convenient for you to treat the disease there? Brother Wen Chuang works in the hospital in the provincial capital. My third brother can also contact experts. He is definitely better than you."

Chang Wenbing interrupted her and smiled widely regardless of the pain in his cheek: "Jiu'er, don't bother. It's the same everywhere as this disease can't be cured. It's still in the early stages, and there are still several years to go. I imagine it's normal. How many years do people live, okay?”

Of course.

As long as he made a carefully considered decision, she would support it.

Finally, the topic came down to persuading the second uncle and second aunt to accept Anna and An Yi. Chang Wenbing sighed: "We are leaving on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. If our parents really don't accept it, there is nothing we can do. Let's talk about it later."

"They definitely won't accept it unless..."

Chang Wenbing knew what was behind "unless" and shook his head: "No, using one bad thing to suppress another bad thing is not solving the problem, it is drinking poison to quench thirst."

She was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She seemed to be drinking poison to quench her thirst.

"Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. It's up to you how you want to solve it. I support you unconditionally."

"Good boy Xiaojiu, my love for you these years has not been in vain."

Chang Wenbing reached out to pinch her face, but she quickly retreated to avoid it.

"Brother Wen Bing, I've grown up and don't have baby fat anymore. You can't pinch me, so don't bother."

Chang Wenbing didn't believe it and insisted on giving it a try. The two of them were tearing apart the stone and pushed the door open and whispered: "Uncle and aunt are back."

"Then I'll go back first. The uncle and aunt have helped to persuade them and maybe their anger will subside. I'll chat with them when I go back." Chang Wenbing stood up and said to them.

After Mo Lan took action, the attitudes of Li Ping and Chang Youchun were indeed much softer. Not to mention agreeing with Chang Wenbing and Anna, at least things had turned for the better.
