Chapter 722: Opening Eyes and Closing Eyes Is Life

Shi Lei suddenly stopped and turned around, only to see that there was only a horizontal line on the heart rate monitor attached to Old Mrs. Song.

Nurse Xiao Chen watched blankly and did not go to get the pacemaker. She knew clearly that this was not a cardiac arrest, but that the end had come and no one could take Old Mrs. Song back from the hands of death.

Song Ziyan stared at his father blankly. The old man had a peaceful expression, his eyelids were drooped, as if he was asleep, and there was no pain on his face. On the contrary, compared to the past few days, his face was a little calmer, unlike before, which always looked a little anxious.

Wu You had already burst into tears. She grabbed her husband's arm and put her head on his shoulder, her shoulders twitching constantly.

Shi Lei looked at this scene and felt regretful in his heart. He didn't understand why he said so many words to the old man instead of thinking of finding Heika earlier.

However, when his eyes were blurred by tears and his chest was as depressed as if his head was covered by eighteen layers of quilts, he came to his senses.

It would be useless to do it earlier, not to mention whether Heika would agree to give him the pill that could cure all diseases. Even if it were given, it would probably not be of any use to Mr. Song's condition.

The scepter made it very clear that the pill was used to treat diseases, which meant that there must be a disease for the pill to work.

Of course, the pill is very powerful, so powerful that it can even repair human genes. However, Mrs. Song only suffered from organ failure. His cells may have stopped dividing, and his body no longer has the function of hematopoiesis. If this is the case, the pill If it can also be changed, then it is not a medicine, but an elixir, an enchantment that can resurrect the dead and reverse time.

Although the black card has shown many miraculous powers since its emergence, Shi Lei always believes that this is ultimately due to technology, not that the black card really has superpowers.

Those seemingly supernatural abilities are actually just technological means. It's like if modern people could go back to ancient times and take out a lighter, they would be stunned and think it was the coming of the God of Fire. Lighting a flashlight would make ancient people think that it was the God of Light descending into the world.

This is nothing more than a gap between technology levels.

Ancient people were faced with primitive mechanical technology, but modern people have entered the microscopic world and can develop technology from the elements themselves. The black card obviously represents the next stage of technology. Shi Lei didn't know what it was, just like ancient people didn't understand how to describe modern people's technology. He knew that these were technologies and not magical arts, which was already the greatest achievement of modern scientific education.

In his hand, he still held the letter that Mrs. Song left for him. Shi Lei didn't know whether he should give this letter to Song Ziyan and Wu You.

After careful consideration, Shi Lei decided to read it first before talking. After all, this was what Old Master Song left for him, and he insisted on handing it to him personally. Perhaps it was because some of the content was not suitable for Song Ziyan and Wu You. Know.

Stuffing the envelope into his pocket, Shi Lei walked behind Song Ziyan and Wu You and said solemnly: "Secretary Song, Aunt Wu, my condolences."

However, he himself was still full of tears. Although he had not had much contact with Old Mrs. Song, Shi Lei used the tongue-splitting lotus card to persuade the old Mr. Song when they first met. However, since then, the old Mr. Song has obviously paid more attention to him than to him. The concern of an ordinary junior.

Why doesn't Shi Lei treat the old man with the same feelings? I always think that the old lady is in good health, has no illness or disaster, and is in good spirits. I always think that I still have a lot of time. When I am not so busy in the future, I can always visit the old lady more.

Now, Shi Lei knew that he was wrong.

Time, a thing that only moves forward and never goes backwards, is never too much.

In a person's life, even if he lives to be a hundred years old, there are actually only thirty-six thousand five hundred days and nights. Every day when he opens and closes his eyes, how many times can human beings be able to withstand opening and closing their eyes? Especially for old people like Mrs. Song who are already in their twilight years. For Shi Lei, just one day passed with his eyes open and closed, but for an old man of this age, a whole life passed with his eyes open and closed.

Shi Lei felt extremely depressed in his chest. He could no longer face Old Mrs. Song, who was getting colder. He walked to the yard, looked at the still bright sun in the sky, and looked at it until his eyes turned black and he fell to the ground.

The people from the Song family came over in a hurry, and Shi Lei struggled to get up. There was nothing wrong with him. He just experienced the sudden separation of life and death, and felt that everything in his body was empty.

Song Ziyan had already covered Old Mrs. Song with the quilt, and carefully tucked the corners of the quilt, as if Old Mrs. Song had not passed away, but had fallen asleep again.

Holding his wife in tears, Song Ziyan walked out of the old man's house and called out the nurse Xiao Chen.

After closing the door, Song Ziyan asked the security guards to find everyone in the Song family.

In the yard, Song Ziyan said: "The old man has left, but I hope you will not reveal this news to the outside world. No one can do it. I have some things to deal with. When I finish dealing with it, I will do it myself." Announce the news of the old man's death to the outside world. However, before that, if you let me know who revealed the news, don't blame me, Song Ziyan, for not telling us about the friendship we have had with each other for so many years."

Everyone agreed. Song Ziyan took another deep look at Shi Lei and said, "Xiao Shi, don't tell Miaomiao about this yet."

Shi Lei nodded and said, "I understand, Secretary Song."

Song Ziyan nodded, released his hold on his wife's shoulders, and said to Wu You, "I'm going to deal with some things."

Wu You probably knew what her husband was going to do, so he said, "Go ahead. I also have some things to deal with."

Song Ziyan walked straight through the yard and left the Song family.

Wu You walked towards Shi Lei and said softly: "How about waiting for someone alone with my aunt?"

Shi Lei nodded and asked, "Yao Keji?"

Wu You was not surprised. The only person she and Shi Lei knew that they needed to meet at this moment was Yao Keji.

"It's him."

Shi Lei said, "Okay, I'll contact him right away." After saying that, Shi Lei took out his cell phone and dialed Yao Er's father, Yao Keji.

Yao Keji didn't ask any further questions. This call was made by Shi Lei, not Wu You himself, and the place to meet was the Song family. With Yao Keji's cleverness, he had already vaguely guessed what might have happened.

But before Shi Lei said anything, Yao Keji knew that the Song family had no plans to make this matter public yet, so he immediately said: "Okay, I'll rush over right away."

Yao Keji did not live in Xixi, he still lived in Wudong. Shi Lei accompanied Wu You until the afternoon, when Yao Keji finally arrived.

He drove here by himself and didn't bring anyone with him, because he understood that if the Song family didn't want to reveal the matter for the time being, it would be best if he didn't bring anyone with him to avoid leaking the news.

"You guys can chat, I'm leaving first." Seeing Yao Keji arrive, Shi Lei stood up and left.

However, Wu You said: "Xiao Shi, please don't leave. Please also sit down. This matter has something to do with you. Maybe you need to mediate."
