After rebirth, I rely on live fortune-telling to become a group favorite - Chapter 145 Death
Jiang Tan then realized that the black fog she had seen over the years was the end of a person's life. The thicker the black fog, the closer the person was to death...
The black energy on Jiang's mother's body has now spread to her chest, and the color has become so dark that her outline can hardly be seen...
"I'm sorry, the stomach has been perforated, cancer cells have entered the peritoneum, and cancer thrombi have been seen in the blood vessels. The staging is very poor. In addition, it is signet ring cell carcinoma, which is not very responsive to radiotherapy or chemotherapy. If you want treatment, you can try chemotherapy and immunotherapy at the same time!"
The doctor's words were like a thunderclap, leaving Jiang Tan at a loss. How could his mother, who had always been healthy, suddenly get cancer?
She suddenly remembered that the first time she saw a faint black aura on her mother was last summer. At that time, her mother suddenly became darker and thinner. They all thought it was because she got tanned from going out and couldn't eat because of the hot summer. Because apart from these, her mother had no obvious symptoms. Moreover, the hottest time of the summer had passed, her mother's appetite returned, and she even gained a little weight.
No one could have imagined that it was actually a change caused by cancer...
"Then...how long can she live?" Jiang Tan felt her mind was unusually clear, but her heart felt heavy as if something was stuck in her throat. The tug of war between the two emotions made her feel so unreal.
"Signet ring cell carcinoma is a poorly differentiated gastric cancer. Generally, the five-year survival rate for signet ring cell carcinoma is very low, especially for a case like your mother, where the cancer has invaded the peritoneum. At most... you have one year left."
Jiang Tan didn't know how he walked out of the doctor's office. Looking at his mother lying on the bed who had just finished the operation, Jiang Tan was like a puppet, listening to the nurse talking about the precautions after the operation...
Time passed so fast it didn't seem real. For nearly a year, Jiang Tan accompanied his mother to the hospital for chemotherapy twice a month. He watched his mother change from a slightly plump old lady to a skinny, bald old lady who looked like a skeleton. Finally, the doctor found her and said that it would be better for the patient to go home and feel more comfortable, as the hospital no longer had any treatment options.
Jiang Tan dragged his mother, who was still unaware of the situation, back home. He watched as the black energy on his mother's body grew heavier, spreading to her neck, eyes, and finally to the top of her head. Finally, under her protection, she took her last breath of this life...
Day after day, year after year, Jiang Tan lived a life without worries about food and clothing. In his spare time, he would go to bars, climb mountains, and travel with his sisters. He would also find some hobbies and do some handicrafts by himself. Like many people, he lived an ordinary life. Perhaps, compared with ordinary people, his life was less chaotic and less worldly.
Looking at himself in the mirror with gray hair on his temples and fine lines on the corners of his eyes, Jiang Tan sighed. Although he had never been married or had children in his life and looked much younger than his peers, he was getting older after all. No one could escape the natural law of birth, aging, sickness and death.
I don’t know why, but I’ve been feeling inexplicably irritated these past few days, as if there’s something deep in my mind that I can’t remember no matter how hard I try!
As expected, as I get older, my memory becomes worse!
Jiang Tan picked up a box of purple hair dye. Life is short and occasional sadness is just a spice of life. As long as your heart is not old, you will always be eighteen years old!
When she went to sleep at night, Jiang Tan didn't know whether it was because the hair dye had been left out for too long and was a little expired, but she always felt a hint of smell around her, and her head felt a little dizzy. She wanted to get up and pour a glass of water, but her eyes went dark, and she fell into darkness...
"You are such a heartless person. You have already ended your relationship with your relatives here. Why don't you come back?"
"Who's talking there? Don't play tricks. I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of anything!" Everything in front of her was gray and she couldn't see anything clearly. Jiang Tan stretched out her hands, wanting to touch something, but she couldn't touch anything. Her slightly trembling voice revealed what she was feeling at the moment.
"You evil disciple, how dare you call yourself old lady in front of your master!"
The figure of an old man in a Taoist robe gradually emerged from the fog, until he became a physical entity and walked in front of Jiang Tan.
Looking at the old man in front of him, Jiang Tan felt a familiar feeling deep in his heart, and he unconsciously uttered two words:
"Master?"
"Oh my, you evil disciple finally remembered your master. Why don't you come back quickly? The door of your master's house is about to be demolished by your husband who has not yet married you. Why don't you come back!"
The information about Taoist Kongkong was still a little out of date. I didn’t know that his Taoist temple had been torn down to pieces and the hilltop was almost being razed to the ground!
"What nonsense are you talking about, old man? Where did I find a husband? Did you find one for me?" Jiang Tan sneered. She had been single for more than 50 years and had never had a husband. She had never touched many men!
"Has your brain become stupid in this world? Have you just eaten up everything your teacher taught you?" Seeing her stupid appearance, Taoist Kongkong was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
If she still can't remember it this time, then she will stay in this world forever and never be able to go back!
"Have you forgotten Gu Junchuan? That little bastard is going crazy looking for you. If you don't remember him, you will never see him again. He is such a big cash cow, handsome, rich and infatuated. Isn't he the model husband that you young people want?" Taoist Kongkong was foaming at the mouth as he spoke. For the first time, he felt like a brothel owner, trying hard to promote his "girls"!
Hearing another very familiar name, the figure of a man flashed through Jiang Tan's mind. It seemed that he was somewhat similar to the shadow in her dream who had been calling her. She tried hard to remember who that person was. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain, as if silver needles were piercing her mind. She couldn't help but squat down with her head in her hands due to the pain.
"My dear disciple, you will be fine as long as you can get through this. Wake up soon. It will be worth it that your master has trained you for so many years..." Lechen's figure became more and more blurred, and his voice gradually faded away, until everything disappeared and the surroundings became dark again!
"Aunt, Aunt, what's wrong with you? Doctor, please save her!" Looking at Jiang Tan lying peacefully on the bed, the emergency personnel put away the medical equipment and shook their heads at the man beside them.
"Please accept my condolences. We should contact the funeral home as soon as possible. The person has been dead for some time. In a few days, the body will rot and it will be difficult to deal with it!" After saying that, the 120 people left the Jiang family, sighing as they walked:
"Alas, this is the result of not getting married and having no children. The family members only discovered it after he had been dead for so many days!"
"So what! Didn't you see the smile on that auntie's face? It means she didn't suffer when she passed away. We have seen a lot of births, old age, sickness and death in our line of work. So what about those who have children? In the end, they become disabled and die without a trace of dignity. Their children despise them to death. When a person dies, the only thing missing is setting off firecrackers!"
The two of them sighed as they rushed to the next store...
