Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

"But this time I really can't make it through..."

Zhou Shen murmured with red eyes, and looked at the time, it was already past five o'clock and almost six o'clock.

Get up and go to a nearby restaurant that looks fancy.

He hasn't eaten anything since last night!

Ordered a table of dishes.

Zhou Shen's parents died unexpectedly when he was very young. His grandparents raised him. When he graduated from university, his grandfather also passed away due to illness. Now there is only one grandma left in his hometown.

He has been very frugal these years, reluctant to eat and wear, just want to save more money to buy a house and get married in his hometown county or city, fulfilling his grandma's wish to have a grandson.

But never thought...

The delicious dishes were served quickly, but in the end Zhou Shen still couldn't finish them.

Put down the chopsticks and get up to check out and leave.

……

Back at the rental house at night, Zhou Shen endured his grief and proposed to break up with his girlfriend Zhang Zihan.

When Zhang Zihan questioned, he originally planned to hide it, but finally told the truth.

Zhang Zihan held a thick stack of report cards in a daze for a long time, and then tears dripped down, lying on the bed and crying bitterly.

They had already planned to obtain the certificate at the end of this year and hold a wedding on May [-]st next year!

But the sudden bad news disrupted all the plans.

Zhang Zihan was heartbroken, but in the end he had to face reality.

It is often reported in the news that a girl suffers from cancer and her boyfriend will never leave her to hold a wedding, and there is also a boyfriend suffering from malignant tumor, and the girl resolutely puts on a wedding dress to marry him.

But the reason why the news is news is precisely because this kind of situation is relatively rare. In reality, most of them end in breaking up.

Zhang Zihan finally chose to leave after crying bitterly.

Regardless of her parents' opposition, she resolutely decided to get married with Zhou Shen. She had exhausted all her courage, and she really didn't have the courage to put on a wedding dress and marry a terminal cancer patient.

Zhang Zihan took the suitcase and left.

Standing in front of the window, Zhou Shen watched Zhang Zihan leave in an online car-hailing car, his heart was like a knife, and tears fell like rain.

……

In the night, Zhou Shen had nightmares again and again, which were bizarre.

When he woke up, he found that his body was drenched in sweat.

Looking at the time, it was only four o'clock in the morning. He couldn't sleep, lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling, thinking wildly in his mind.

For a while, I thought about how to tell my grandma about my illness after I went back?

After a while, I thought that grandma would not be able to walk anymore, who would take care of her daily life?

Thinking of his grandma's hard work over the years, but finally asking a white-haired man to give a black-haired man, he couldn't help but feel like a knife was twisting in his heart. He turned around and covered his face on the pillow, soaking the pillow towel again with tears.

The sky outside the window gradually brightened.

Zhou Shen got up and packed up, then took the suitcase and went downstairs to have breakfast.

I didn't eat anything yesterday, so I just drank some water, and now I have no strength at all, and the pain in the liver area has become very obvious, like a needle stick, the whole person seems to be dying overnight.

Zhou Shen pressed the liver area of ​​the right abdomen with his hands to relieve the pain.

"If you didn't check yesterday, wouldn't it be like this now?"

In fact, before the physical examination yesterday, apart from the occasional dull pain in the liver area, he didn't have any other obvious symptoms. Now that his energy is gone, the cancer cells seem to have begun to take advantage of it.

After passing the chain bun shop at the gate of the community, there was a long queue at the gate.

In the past, he would line up here to buy a few big, white buns, and then buy a bag of breakfast milk, a flavored beverage rich in more than a dozen additives, and then rush to the company by subway.

He was about to die now, and he didn't want to eat this kind of high-tech steamed stuffed bun and drink that kind of flavored drink with no nutritional value anymore.

Dragging heavy steps to a noodle shop not far away.

"Boss, come for a bowl of duck leg noodles, and add two more marinated eggs!"

"Okay, wait a moment!"

Zhou Shen found a seat and sat down.

While waiting for the noodles, he looked at the faces in the noodle shop either chatting and laughing, or silent, or buried in the noodles, but he couldn't help feeling sad.

"Maybe each of them has troubles of one kind or another, but at least they can still live, unlike themselves, who are about to die."

"Thinking about it now, what the hell is a house? If no one wants to marry, you can be a bachelor. What's the big deal? Why do you have to work hard all your life for a reinforced concrete structure?"

"Grandma has always wanted a great-grandson, but in the final analysis, she just wanted someone to accompany her. Why didn't I bring her to my side earlier, but let her use the excuse of not being used to life in a big city to leave her in her hometown for so many years ?”

"How the hell did I not understand these principles until now..."

Zhou Shen thought a lot in his mind.

It wasn't until the waiter brought the noodles and duck meat that he interrupted his train of thought.

He chewed slowly. Director Zhang Yuqing told him yesterday that there are many complications in advanced liver cancer, the most important of which is diet.

Because his liver function is severely damaged, he will develop cirrhosis and portal hypertension, and the varices in the esophagus and gastric fundus are obvious. If they rupture, they will cause massive hematemesis.

In addition, the toxic substances in the food cannot be metabolized by the liver, and will enter the brain and cause hepatic coma.

Let him be cautious.

Halfway through eating the noodles, Zhou Shen suddenly thought of something, his eyes were slightly focused on watching, and the group of red numbers appeared in front of his eyes again.

But today the number has changed from [88] to [87].

"What does this number represent? Does it mean... I have 87 days left to live?"

"If it is true, where did it come from? What is it?"

"Is it an alien life? Is it a supernatural power? Or is it a legendary cheat? Can it cure my illness..."

Zhou Shen thought about it, and his body trembled slightly.

At this moment, he was like a drowning man, desperately trying to grab any straw.

"Come out quickly!"

Zhou Shen kept shouting in his heart.

In the next second, a scene suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

Name: Zhou Shen

[Life: 87 days (normal lifespan, excluding premature death caused by accidental injuries)]

[Physical strength: 6.5 (related to strength, endurance, speed, and agility. Note: 10 points for normal people, which will not be displayed later)]

[Energy: 5.2 (Yuan Qi, thinking, consciousness, and emotions are related. Note: 10 points for normal people, and will not be displayed later)]

[Cultivation method: none]

[Skill: None]

[Attribute point: 0]

When he saw the scene in front of him, he stood up suddenly, and the chairs behind him fell down, hitting the artificial marble floor with a loud "pong".

Everyone in the noodle shop was taken aback and looked at him one after another.

"It's okay, it's okay! The chair fell over."

While appeasing the emotions of the customers in the store, the waiter walked over quickly to help the chair up.

Zhou Shen ignored those gazes, and stood there looking at the white lettering panel on a black background that suddenly appeared.

When he saw that his life span was really only 87 days, he was stunned.

Facing death, especially knowing clearly that one day will die, is a very cruel and terrible thing. No one can calmly analyze the sudden change.

Zhou Shen was not surprised, and immediately fell into great fear, and his mind was in chaos.

"How do you do it?"

Zhou Shen kept shouting in his mind, watching desperately.

But even if he stared out his eyes, the numbers on the attribute panel were still the same string of numbers, without any change.

Clicking on other categories in my mind also did not respond.

Even because of being too excited, his eyes turned black.

Under great disappointment, he could only give up disheartened.

I couldn't eat the remaining half bowl of noodles, so I got up and took my suitcase and went to the company to go through the resignation procedures.

Chapter 3

People are going to die, and money is already a foreign object to Zhou Shen, but he still has to think about grandma's future life.

If you have money, you can let others take care of you.

No money, no filial son in front of the hundred-day bed.

Because Zhou Shen didn't answer the phone yesterday, the project manager was going to scold him bloody.

But when Zhou Shen took out the inspection report, the project manager immediately swallowed the words in his throat, comforted him with a gentle voice he had never seen before, and helped him go through the resignation procedures at an unprecedented speed.

And this month is paid according to the whole month's salary, including performance bonuses, overtime pay, project bonuses that were in arrears before, etc., and he was paid nothing less.

Before leaving, he personally sent him to the elevator entrance and watched him leave.

Zhou Shen's hometown is in Huaijiang City, Dongjiang Province, which is next door to Shanghai, more than 400 kilometers away from Shanghai.

At 03:30 in the afternoon, Zhou Shen left the South Station of Huaijiang High-speed Railway Station with a suitcase.

Then I took the online car-hailing car that was reserved in advance and went straight to Xiaozhou Village, Linhuai Town, Xinyang County, below Huaijiang City.

Sitting in the back seat, Zhou Shen looked at the silhouettes of street trees receding rapidly on both sides of the road, and his heart became more and more nervous.

He didn't know how to face grandma when he went back.

How sad would grandma be if she knew that her only eldest grandson was going to die in a few months?

"Hey……"

Thinking of such a scene, Zhou Shen couldn't help feeling sad and sighed deeply.

Half an hour later, the car entered the area of ​​Linhuai Town. On both sides of the road were small new rural villas with elegant environment and shady trees.

The small villas here are rural nursing homes, which are very cheap. The two-story 120 square meters with a small yard cost about 6 to 180 yuan, and the three-story 20 square meters cost only [-] yuan.

However, very few people buy. Young people go to big cities. Even if they get married and buy a house, they go to Xinyang County and Huaijiang City to buy.

After driving along the spacious cement road for less than two kilometers, the online car-hailing car turned left into Xiaozhou Village and stopped in front of a two-story villa.

The old house of his family a few years ago was also demolished, and the square meter was equal to the square meter. He also compensated the village more than 4 yuan, and took a small house of 120 square meters.

After paying the fare on the mobile phone, Zhou Shen got out of the car and opened the reserve area, trying to take out the suitcase.

As a result, the force was too strong, and the liver area of ​​the right abdomen suddenly convulsed. The pain caused his eyes to turn black, and he almost fainted to the ground.

The driver in the driver's seat saw from the rearview mirror that Zhou Shen was holding the trunk of the car for a long time and did not respond. Out of curiosity, he opened the door and walked out.

Seeing Zhou Shen clutching his chest with a painful look on his face, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, are you okay?"

Zhou Shen covered his chest and shook his head.

The driver helped him take out the suitcase and put it on the ground, then drove away quickly.

Zhou Shen held the suitcase and took a breath. After the sharp pain gradually disappeared, he pulled the suitcase and walked slowly towards the gate of the courtyard.

Under the wall at the entrance, in the garden where green plants or flowers should have been planted, a lot of vegetables were planted, such as green onions, cabbage, lettuce, and leeks. There was also a shelf on the side of the wall, and green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. were planted.

Not only his family, but basically every household in the surrounding area is like this.

Rural people's vegetable-growing skills are deeply rooted in their bones. They don't focus on vegetables in front of and behind the house, and they are embarrassed to go out to meet people.

Hearing the sound of the suitcase pulleys outside the door, Zhou Shen's grandma Zhang Xiu'e, who was folding clothes in the house, stood up and looked at the door. When she saw that the eldest grandson had returned, she was overwhelmed with surprise.

"Da Shen, you're back!"
