"Is it okay?" Xie Qiuqi asked.

The doctor said honestly: "Don't worry, your dysfunction is non-organic, which means that the organ itself is not damaged, either it is affected by the nerves, or it is psychological, and in my opinion, a large part of it is psychological. This disease can be cured, and the cure rate is not low. My suggestion is to go to the hospital for a detailed examination. It is best to find a urologist to prescribe the right medicine. I am not a professional in this field. I will prescribe medicine for you. Don't worry about it either."

It is inconvenient to go to the hospital now, but Zheng Ke will definitely accompany him to the hospital.

The shepherd dog came up with a bad idea: "Why don't I go with you and not tell Zheng Ke. Just say to pick out a gift for Nicholas' father."

Xie Qiuqi had no choice but to think about it.The two planned to send Cumming to the hospital.

Xie Qiuqi couldn't break his promise to send the Cummings and his family out of the United States safely.

On Saturday, the four people were sent off to the border, and the mighty five-car convoy headed for the Texas Highway.Heading south from the steaming road in Dallas, the weather forecast says it will be sunny all day, the temperature is rising, and the desert sun has given off a strong burnt smell to the asphalt.It has been a long time since there was such a bright sunshine, Xie Qiuqi thought comfortably.

"I'll send you here." He shook hands with Cumming, and handed over a box of forged documents: "Everyone has fake passports, fake identities, and transit documents, and you can go through after showing them to the border inspection. I'm sorry that I had to let you go. After you go back, take a good rest, you are still in your prime, and you don't have to worry about the time when you don't display your talents and realize your ambitions."

Cumming shook his head: "It's not your fault either. You're just trying to survive."

Xie Qiuqi smiled: "Do you have any plans for the future?"

"Have a few ideas, but haven't made up my mind yet. Now it's rumored that I killed the Mosley brothers. They called me a rogue, and my reputation has recovered a bit by accident. I think I will still be in the future." Engaged in work related to the sea."

"They're right. It's true that you killed Brother Mosley. I just did you a favor."

"Who knows? Maybe one day I will end up like them."

Xie Qiuqi felt that the major's temperament had changed. After this catastrophe, Kaming lost his frivolous spirit and became more stable and far-sighted.

"You don't have to be too pessimistic," Xie Qiuqi patted him on the shoulder: "Life doesn't always end in death."

Cumming confessed: "When I was a teenager, I very much yearned to become a hero like in a comic book. I enlisted in the army for this dream. In the United States, being a soldier is a very proud thing, not to mention that I have been in and out of the Gulf of Ding in Somalia five times. , bring back great military exploits. The whole town knows me as Alfred Cumming, and my family is honored. I used to think that I would live a glorious and fulfilling life. I never thought that I was almost 40 years old. will be reduced to this level.”

"The ebb and flow of the tide is the most common thing."

"Thank you, do you think it's right if I go back to sea?"

"What do you mean?"

"There was a lot of clamor outside. Several of Mosley's former deputies who escaped without being arrested came to me to surrender, and many scattered pirates also came to test my intentions to see if I had the intention to take over the Gulf of Mexico."

Xie Qiuqi understood: "Are you going to be a pirate?"

Cumming said: "There can be no peace in the Gulf of Mexico. It's not us, it's someone else. Do you know how many people are scratching their heads at the passage of the Gulf of Mexico into the Mississippi River, thinking that their eyes are red, and they can't wait to swallow it. Swallow it whole? Then I might as well take the initiative. Anyway, it is impossible for me to return to the United States. The Navy has already removed my name, and I will not do anything else. Except for this sea, I can go Where is it?"

"If you think it over, I respect your decision. I won't interfere." Xie Qiuqi said: "But if you think about the consequences, being a pirate is not so easy. It took the Mosley brothers 20 years to secure their position in this area." Site. You must have this awareness.”

Cumming looked at his eyes with a little light: "will you help me?"

Xie Qiuqi smiled: "We are friends, if you need help, I will support you at any time."

Cumming said hesitantly: "I know you won't stay in this place forever, the Gulf of Mexico can't trap you. But I like you very much, you stay, even if you don't stay forever, we will stay together Sitting in the Gulf of Mexico. Originally, this place should belong to you, but I am so famous now, I actually took advantage of you."

"I don't like hearing your words anymore, do I seem to be taking advantage of others casually?" Xie Qiuqi joked.

"Will we ever see each other again?" Cumming asked.

Xie Qiuqi nodded: "I will definitely."

It's getting late, and if we continue talking, we will delay the border crossing.The two hugged and said goodbye, and Cumming left with his family.

Xie Qiuqi returned to his car, he couldn't help sighing: "He will be a promising man in the future. Let's go back to Chicago."

Zheng Ke started the car, Lexus turned around and walked back.

Before they walked ten meters, they saw in the rearview mirror a man running towards their car waving.

"Cumming? What is he doing? Did he drop something?" Zheng Ke was curious.

Xie Qiuqi smiled and got out of the car to pick up the man: "What's the matter?"

Cumming was panting a bit from running, and he took a breath before speaking: "I, I, I've made up my mind."

Seeing his appearance, Xie Qiuqi suppressed a smile: "Then you don't have to run back, do you? Their cars have already left, so what should you do?"

"I asked my younger brother to take them to resettlement first, and I will definitely go to see them."

"Really think about it?"

Cumming's eyes were bright, and he cast his eyes into the distance: "Well, I want to take over the Gulf of Mexico. I have been with this sea for too long, and I am really reluctant to go back to Venezuela. I want to go to the Gulf of Mexico and take over everything. Thank you, let’s cooperate.”

"What cooperation?"

"Cooperation again, long-term cooperation."

"Get in the car, and talk while getting in the car. Don't stand on the road."

Cumming smiled and got into the car. Fortunately, the Lexus has seven seats, otherwise he would be unable to sit in the back row with three big men.

The shepherd dog still didn't like Kaming very much, and jumped up when he saw someone: "Thank you! Why is this person here!"

Kaming ignored him: "I'm here to talk about cooperation." Then he continued to Xie Qiuqi: "After I take over the Gulf of Mexico, I will not be a pirate who asks for ransom, and I will not rob. If I want to go to the waterway, I will collect tolls and earn some commissions You don't need to hire another person to transport your goods. My people are responsible for transporting your goods from Africa to Chicago Port. You will not be charged any fees. Your goods are guaranteed to be safe. If you lose them, we will compensate you. In return, thank you, you have to contact us I stood aside and helped me get my footing in the Gulf of Mexico."

This condition is indeed very attractive. You must know that the logistics fee is a huge expense. If Cumming takes care of this piece, Xie Qiuqi will save a huge cost.

Even Xing Zhifei was a little excited when he heard this condition: "You have to think about it, this trip will not be easy. The boat, fuel costs, personnel... all have to be counted."

Xie Qiuqi also joked: "If you take things down, it depends on whether you can do it well. There is a saying in China: 'If you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work.' You have never done logistics, can you do it well?"

Cumming said with a smile, "Okay, how about a three-month trial period?"

The two looked at each other in the rearview mirror and laughed.The atmosphere is great.

"I'm serious." Cumming finished laughing and restrained his expression: "Not only do you have to pay wages, but my whole family also needs to eat. If I'm alone, of course I don't care. If you can't find a dock I can live as a repairman, but I still have brothers and relatives behind me. I can't let them follow me down."

Xie Qiuqi thought for a while: "I want to expand my business in the future. The whole of Illinois and even the northern market are my goals. The four of us are definitely not enough now. When we need to recruit manpower and determine the organization, we will soon have to open The company, sub-projects. I don’t want you to cover all the logistics, you are responsible for the ship and people, I will pay you as usual, and we can share other things, you need me, I am always there.”

"Really?" Cumming asked in surprise.This condition is much better than he imagined.

Xie Qiuqi still said the same words: "Everyone cooperates, there is no need to haggle over every detail."

Cumming took the initiative to say: "What kind of manpower do you need, I can help you as a staff officer?"

After all, he knew a lot of people here.Xie Qiuqi was also not polite to him: "I still need a technician, someone who works with computers; project manager, finance, and thugs. You know someone who is reliable, welcome to submit your resume."

"Then it's settled. Don't worry, the Gulf of Mexico will be your rear area from now on," Cumming said.

Xie Qiuqi shook hands with him: "Thank you. Your decision is not bad."

He knew Cumming had a hard time making this decision.The dignified naval lieutenant commander finally became the pirate he once despised, and Xie Qiuqi would have tossed and turned.Cumming is also a person with strong self-esteem. He was able to make this decision because he put aside some things he once cherished, such as reputation and pride, which is very rare.For the sake of his brothers and relatives, he is willing to give up. Even if he is not a qualified rear admiral, he is at least a qualified son, brother and relative.

Cumming's today might also be Xie Qiuqi's future, Xie Qiuqi had to remind himself.Perhaps the absurdity of fate is doomed from the very beginning, and the only way to develop happiness from this absurdity is to live.No matter what, live on.

"Where are you going now? We'll give you a ride." Zheng Ke said to Cumming.

Cumming said, "Just drop me off in Dallas. I have a date. How about you?"

"Let's go back to Chicago." Xie Qiuqi replied.

The four people were divided into two groups according to the division of workers and soldiers. Xie Qiuqi and Shepherd Dog went to "buy gifts", while Zheng Ke and Xing Zhifei went to book a hotel order.

Nicholas fixed the dinner for Monday night.Xie Qiuqi remembered that the old man was injured, bought supplements and fruits, and picked a solid wooden walking stick with natural antlers in a department store as a salute.After quickly sweeping the goods, the two men drove the car to the hospital, sneaked in through the back door, and went upstairs to find the urology department.The doctor had greeted them in advance and was waiting for them to come.

It takes time to do the examination and wait for the results. After reading the examination report, the doctor asked Xie Qiuqi to lie down in the cubicle, asked him to take off his pants, and did a digital examination: "Since when did you find out that there was something wrong?"

The doctor's hands are cold in medical plastic gloves.Xie Qiuqi said numbly, "It's been about half a month."

"Oh, how do you feel now?" the doctor asked.

Xie Qiuqi shook his head.

The doctor said in an old spirit: "From the examination report, all your indicators are normal. The imaging, hormone levels, blood routine, urine routine, liver and kidney function... are all very good, so you can rule out hormones and other diseases in your body. Dysfunction caused by lesions; if you said you had pelvic surgery, you can basically be sure that it is affected by the surgery. The problem is not big, and the cure rate of this disease is very high. How about this, I will prescribe some medicine for you, and you cooperate Let's eat. Do you have a girlfriend?"

Xie Qiuqi replied, "I have a boyfriend."

The doctor prescribed the medicine without even raising his head: "Being more intimate with your boyfriend will help your body recover."

Xie Qiuqi was taken aback, he didn't know that this kind of thing would help his recovery.

Seeing that he didn't reply, the doctor only thought he was shy.The doctor didn't take it seriously. He would see more than a dozen patients with this kind of patient a day, and he said numbly: "Don't be stressed, your situation is that the psychological burden is too heavy. If you are embarrassed to take the initiative, bring your boyfriend next time. , I will teach him how to cooperate with your recovery. First of all, emotional communication should be more frequent, more trust, more encouragement, more tenderness, the sweetness of love has a key impact on people's health, and married life should also pay attention to skills and techniques , it should be carried out with scientific and therapeutic methods, which will be of great help to the cure of the disease."

In the end, he seriously reminded Xie Qiuqi: "Don't take what I said seriously, there is some knowledge in it. Let me tell you that in the 70s Americans treated with this method, and the cure rate was nearly 80.00%. .What I said is based on science, you have to believe in science!"

Coming out of the doctor's consulting room and taking the medicine, Xie Qiuqi gained confidence.

The shepherd dog is still comforting him: "Zheng Ke won't mind, he is not such a person. He is willing to trade his life for yours."

He knew Zheng Ke wouldn't mind.Xie Qiuqi said: "I said earlier that Zheng Ke could cooperate with me, I would be more than happy."

The shepherd dog was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly: "That boy Zheng Ke will have to work hard in the future."

At this time, he was still in the mood to joke.Xie Qiuqi reprimanded lightly: "I want you to take care of so much."

They went to visit Nicholas and his father on Monday afternoon. The four hadn't seen each other for more than three months since they parted in the Namib Desert.The old man was very happy to see Xie Qiuqi, and walked up to hug him——

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that we would meet again in the United States. Nico, when this kid was held by me with a gun in a fast food restaurant, he still ignored me with a calm face. I have seen a lot If you are a character, you can tell at a glance that he is not something in the pool!" The old man smiled and said, "How is it? How have you been these few months?"

Xie Qiuqi handed over the crutches: "Seeing that you are healthy and energetic, I am relieved. We are all fine. Nicholas is a very loyal friend. Thanks to him, we will not lose our foothold in the United States." Not at all. Take a look, if you like the gift, I don’t know what you like, but seeing the beautiful color of the antlers, I think it should be a good deal.”

Nicholas felt that he was too modest: "Dad, you don't know what earth-shattering things he has done in the past few months."

The old man raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
