Chapter 638 A casual trip

The National Bone Marrow Registry has only found one registered volunteer so far, but the person is from an ethnic minority and was registered 15 years ago. The information file left behind is very vague, and it will probably take a lot of time to make contact with them.

The uncle's condition couldn't wait any longer.

His condition suddenly deteriorated, and he was admitted to the emergency room last night. After being discharged from the emergency room, the doctor issued a critical condition notice and set a final deadline for him.

two months.

Lu Yuanqiu was a little stunned when he heard the deadline.

That father figure in the dormitory was thus destined to die in everyone's hearts.

Lu Yuanqiu stood in the hospital ward, holding the girl's hand tightly beside him. He looked at the uncle sitting on the hospital bed. The uncle's originally dark skin had turned into a sickly gray-white, and there was no color in his lips.

I heard my aunt crying nearby. I could tell she was forcibly suppressing her sadness. In fact, she had become numb lately, because she hadn't heard any good news since she raised enough money.

The reason I couldn't hold back my tears today was twofold: first, because I received my husband's critical condition notice; and second, because it was the first time my aunt had ever seen so many people come to visit her husband.

She realized there were so many people in the world she didn't know, and she couldn't bear to see her husband leave this world.

Lu Yuanqiu asked, "Where are my two younger brothers?"

“He’s been taken home.” The aunt put her hand down, pointed to the man on the bed, and replied in a choked voice, “He didn’t want his two children to see him like this.”

The middle-aged man didn't even look up, only wearily raising his arm: "What are you doing here? It's affecting your studies..."

Perhaps due to chemotherapy, his voice had changed, becoming very hoarse. Lu Yuanqiu found it hard to reconcile the gaunt-faced man before him with the uncle who used to sit in the corner, watching everyone with a simple, honest smile.

He felt heartbroken and utterly powerless at that moment.

Many people came today, and everyone was there. Men's dorms 401 and 402, and women's dorm 306, including Bucktooth Qiang, Ding Wanjun, Su Miaomiao, and Liu Wangchun.

Everyone stood in a row, and no one spoke.

"Let's not get treatment... Don't waste money. Keep the money, so you can relax. You've worked so hard for this family for so long, you should rest." The uncle kept his head down, his voice broken and in dialect. Everyone in the ward knew who he was talking to.

Su Miaomiao quickly went over and hugged her aunt, who was trying to speak but was already sobbing uncontrollably. She believed that this was the most desperate moment for a wife.

"Everyone, it's best not to have so many people standing in the ward." A voice suddenly came from the doorway, and everyone turned around to see the doctor.

Lu Yuanqiu gestured to the others and patted Bai Qingxia on the shoulder. The rest of the people walked out with heavy steps, leaving only the three, no, four people in room 401 in the entire ward.

"Uncle."

The Taoist priest called out softly and sat down on the edge of the bed.

The uncle looked up, his eyes somewhat dazed as he surveyed Lu Yuanqiu, Xu Siyang, and Finger, the three children he had once carefully cared for in the dormitory.

The middle-aged man seemed to be trying to force a smile, but he didn't have the strength to do so. He simply asked in a hoarse voice, "Is this...our dormitory?"

Lu Yuanqiu sat down on the edge of the bed and nodded: "Yes, Uncle, look how clean you've made our dormitory."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and waved to Fingel, but Fingel shook his head, not having the courage to approach.

"Don't lie to me, Xiao Qiu, my eyesight isn't bad, this is a hospital room." The uncle smiled with his eyes closed.

Lu Yuanqiu looked at him, then lowered his head and remained silent.

The uncle then patted his hand and said weakly, "Xiao Qiu, I've always thought you're the most mature one among them. Can you help me make a decision?"

Lu Yuanqiu: "Uncle, please go on." The uncle made his signature head-scratching gesture, except this time he was scratching his bald head. He began his story from his hospital bed:

"I watched a movie the other day called The Bucket List. Uncle doesn't want to continue treatment. Can you take Uncle out for a trip during winter break? It's okay, I promise that everything that happens during this time has nothing to do with you. Uncle has lived such a meaningless life, let me have fewer regrets before I go..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanqiu and Xu Siyang exchanged a glance but neither of them spoke.

He came out of the ward, just about to discuss this matter with his aunt, when Liu Wangchun suddenly led Bai Qingxia over, saying with a serious expression, "Lu Yuanqiu, do you dare to do something big with me?"

Lu Yuanqiu stared at her: "What is it?"

Bai Qingxia looked at Liu Wangchun with some trepidation, while Liu Wangchun said to Lu Yuanqiu, "This hospital is useless. If we can't find that volunteer, we'll find him ourselves. I just got a place name from the doctor."

Bai Qingxia recalled the scene just now where Liu Wangchun grabbed the doctor by the collar.

Lu Yuanqiu sighed helplessly: "Calm down. It's not that the hospital is useless; it's just that too much time has passed and the information in the records has become blurred. Their methods of finding volunteers are definitely more professional than ours. For us, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack."

The doctor said the same thing, but Liu Wangchun felt that it was more convincing to hear it from her friend. She breathed heavily, leaned against the wall, and fell silent.

Lu Yuanqiu thought for a moment, then turned to Liu Wangchun and said, "Could I use your RV this time?"

Liu Wangchun looked up: "What?"

……

A week later, the final exams were over, and Lu Yuanqiu never expected that a trip he took on a whim would happen so suddenly and absurdly.

Zheng Yifeng acted as the driver of the RV, while Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia squeezed into the driver's seat.

Inside the carriage, the middle-aged man sat in a wheelchair. The Taoist priest took out a pair of sunglasses from his bag and put them on his face, and then picked up a mirror and placed it in front of the man.

"Is he handsome?" the middle-aged man asked, turning his head with a smile.

The Taoist priest, who had cut his hair short, nodded in response: "Handsome."

The older man gave a thumbs up: "Your new look is quite handsome too."

Liu Wangchun sat to the side and complained, "You two should stop flattering each other."

"Hahaha."

Hearing the two laugh, Liu Wangchun couldn't laugh; she liked to wear her emotions on her sleeve.

Today is the first day of our journey, and the uncle seems unusually energetic. There aren't many people traveling together this time: the three in the driver's cab, plus the uncle, the Taoist priest, and Liu Wangchun in the passenger compartment, making a total of six people.

The others originally wanted to follow, but Lu Yuanqiu thought about it and decided that it would be better if fewer people came.

Zheng Yifeng: "If you only had two months left, what would you do?"

Inside the driver's seat, Zheng Yifeng, who was driving, was also wearing sunglasses, and his reflection in the glass made him look incredibly handsome.

Lu Yuanqiu glanced at him: "Why ask such a question..."

Zheng Yifeng laughed and said, "Don't you find it boring? Just saying whatever comes to mind."

"Or, suppose you are someone who has been reborn, and in two months you will return to your original timeline."
