Chapter 63 Chapter 63 I don't want to live anymore

Soon after getting married, Wu Kaixian flew to Hong Kong from Taipei again. Du Yuesheng was very happy and agreed to meet him at noon on July 27. On that morning, he felt that his hair had grown, so he ordered someone to call a barber. After a haircut at home, Zhu Wende from the next door stepped in. It was 10 o'clock in the morning. Du Yuesheng's hair had just been cut, and his face was full of spring breeze and radiant. Wan Molin, who came in one step, chatted with Du Yuesheng. This kind of situation is rarely seen in normal times. Du Yuesheng talked about the international situation and the future of the country this morning. He used new weapons against the US military on the Korean peninsula. The communist army retreated across the board, and the overall situation was completely reversed. I was very excited, but as we talked, he was so powerfully killed by the new weapon that he was killed by thousands at every turn. He couldn't help but feel emotional. He said:

"If things go on like this, new weapons will be invented day by day, and more and more people will be killed. War will be too terrible. Maybe in the future - a bomb will be dropped, and everyone in the world will die!" He said again that more than 60,000 people died in five days, and not all of them were Chinese, so he said with compassion: "In this day and age, the Chinese are really pitiful." At this time, Wan Molin mentioned the full text of the "Draft of the Secret Treaty with Japan" released by the US State Department, which did not list the Republic of China as a signatory country.Du Yuesheng was quite indignant. He thought this rash decision was not only unreasonable, but also unfair.

"China's 8-year war of resistance, sacrificing the lives of 30 million soldiers and civilians, was the only way to achieve a complete victory in the Pacific War, and Japan finally declared its unconditional surrender. Now that the war is over, it has only been 6 years since the signing of the peace treaty with Japan. my country is not even qualified as a signatory country. , were exploited." Du Yuesheng said, "This is simply too much deception!" Then, Du Yuesheng talked about "December 8th" and "August 13th" from the 8-year Anti-Japanese War. Association", talked about his relocation to Chongqing, and talked about his direct arrival in Chun'an.Up and down the past and the present, the world is far and wide, Du Yuesheng's chatterbox opened up at once, and he talked endlessly for more than two hours.Seeing that he was in good spirits, Zhu Wende and Wan Molin felt selfishly happy, but they also realized that his situation seemed a little abnormal, and immediately they felt a knot in their hearts.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Kaixian arrived as scheduled, and Du Yuesheng personally greeted him in the living room, shook hands and chatted happily, and then held a banquet to cleanse the dust.A banquet, from 1 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a table of people are drinking happily, happily; Qin Liankui, an old friend who goes to Du Mansion every day to eat Zhongqu, is late for this day , but caught up with the people who did not disperse, and all the people greeted with smiles, the servants arranged the seats and had a drink, Qin Liankui joined the feast, and the arrival of Barrister Qin brought another climax to the welcome banquet.

After drinking a glass of wine and eating a few dishes with chopsticks, Qin Liankui looked at Du Yuesheng by chance, and blurted out: "Brother Yuesheng, you've seen fat these days!" "Fat?" Du Yuesheng was taken aback when he heard that, he stretched out his hand to touch his cheek, frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not fat, but my face is swollen." So everyone said with one voice that Du Yuesheng had indeed gained weight in the past two days.Wan Molin especially emphasized repeatedly that Du Yuesheng talked about national affairs for more than two hours this morning, and now he sat at the table for more than an hour. He was full of energy and did not show any signs of fatigue. Rare situation.

Although everyone was giving examples and consoling, the euphoria on Du Yuesheng's face gradually faded away, replaced by a sad and doubtful one, and he called out to Du Weifan: "Go get me a mirror!" Du Weifan left his seat in response, went to the inner room to find a mirror, and handed it to Du Yuesheng.Du Yuesheng took a selfie in the mirror, looked carefully at it, and when he put down the mirror to greet the guests to eat, everyone present could see that his smile was far-fetched, listless, and he was completely different from a few minutes ago. After barely sitting for a while, Du Yuesheng said that he was sleepy and wanted to go in for a nap.To him, this was an extremely unusual move, so when he returned to the room, he left a full house full of guests, looking at each other in astonishment.

This day is June 21st of the lunar calendar, only 23 days away from Du Yuesheng's 64th birthday. Starting from the sentence "Brother Yuesheng, you see you are fat", Du Yuesheng was bored and bored, and his family, relatives and friends tried their best to make him happy, but nothing worked. On the morning of the 28th, at 11 o'clock, Zhu Wende came again. Du Yuesheng called him into the room and told him to close the door. He told Zhu Wende very confidentially: He had a sum of US dollars and gave it to Song Ziliang who was far away in the United States, and asked Song Ziliang to invest on his behalf. , Song Ziliang said that he bought American stocks with the money, and made some money.He asked Zhu Wende to write a letter to Song Ziliang's subordinate Xi Demao, asking him to make a list of the operation of the stock business and send it to Hong Kong as soon as possible.

Zhu Wende wrote the letter on behalf of Du Yuesheng and sent it out. After lunch, he went home and called. In the evening, Yuan Guoliang came to visit the "Old Master" again. Du Yuesheng ordered Yuan Guoliang to stay and eat stewed noodles with him in the small room. Suddenly he frowned, shook his head at Yuan Guoliang and smiled wryly, saying: "I can't eat anymore." Yuan Guoliang quickly stood up, supported Du Yuesheng with both hands, and said in his mouth: "'Old Master', I will help you back to your room to rest." Du Yuesheng straightened his back with all his strength, but he still couldn't stand up, so he murmured to himself:

"Strange! Why did my two feet suddenly lose all strength?" Yuan Guoliang exerted more strength, half-lifted and half-carried Du Yuesheng back to the room, and helped him to sleep. Du Yuesheng fell asleep on the bed, as if he was also surprised, he shook his head repeatedly, and said to himself: "It's not right, it's not right! It's not right this time!" The Du mansion in Kennedy immediately fell into chaos. Yao Yulan and Meng Xiaodong hurried over after hearing the news, and rushed forward to ask questions. The expression of panic was palpable, so Du Yuesheng told his family:

"Go and call Ding Jiwan!" Someone rushed to make a phone call, and someone in the room gently reminded: "Do you want to invite Dr. Lu?" The reason for saying this is because Ding Jiwan is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, and if Du Yuesheng is in critical condition, he needs western medicine to save him.Du Yuesheng who was lying on the bed heard it, nodded and said: "That's right, go ask Dr. Lu again." Physician Ding Zhong and Physician Lu Xi rushed to the Du mansion one after the other, took the pulse and listened to the heart sounds, as if there was nothing wrong with it.Ask Du Yuesheng again, do you feel uncomfortable?This time, even Du Yuesheng himself couldn't answer, he just said:

"I just feel that something is wrong, and then my legs are weak." There were no obvious symptoms, and the two doctors were unable to prescribe a prescription. Therefore, Ding Jiwan prescribed a daily dose of medicine to strengthen the body and strengthen the body. The two wives of the Du mansion were afraid that there would be unexpected changes in the middle of the night, so they asked Dr. Lu to stay. All night vigil. Mrs. Sun, Zhu Wende from the next door, Wan Molin, and Du Yuesheng's young masters all got the news, and rushed over in a hurry. A large group of people accompanied that Doctor Lu to sit in the living room and watch the night.At this time, everyone comforted themselves, saying that Du Yuesheng's health has improved very much recently, and there will not be any special changes. Tonight is nothing more than a relapse of old illness, which is probably a false alarm. However, the clock struck, and at midnight, the door of Du Yuesheng's room opened. Xu Daosheng walked quickly to the living room, approached Zhu Wende, and said softly: "Mr. Du please." After Zhu Wende entered the room, the night watchman waited anxiously in the living room, but after a while, Zhu Wende ran out in a panic and told everyone: "Mr. Du took care of me and sent a telegram to Taipei, asking Brother Jingshi to come to Hong Kong as soon as possible." The hearts of the many people who were watching the night sank in unison.Lu Jingtu was in Taipei at the time and was extremely busy with business. Du Yuesheng said that he was invited to come to Hong Kong as soon as possible. With a heavy heart, everyone discussed drafting a telegram. Zhu Wende was afraid of wasting time, and he didn't care to listen to the opinions of everyone talking about it, so he said decisively: "Brother Jingshi has already received a letter from Mr. Du, knowing that his condition has worsened. This telegram is simple and clear, using the words 'fly to Hong Kong as soon as possible', which is worth a thousand words." On the 28th, nothing happened. On the 29th, Du Yuesheng looked normal at first glance, but he ordered someone to send another urgent telegram to Taipei. The telegram was dictated by himself, and it was simply four words: "Come quickly!" Received a reply call from Lu Jingtu on July 31, scheduled to fly from Taiwan to Hong Kong on August 1: On August 1st, that is, at noon on June 25th in the lunar calendar, Du Yuesheng regained his spirits and Yang Zhixiong came to visit him. The two old friends had lunch together in the living room. , and whispered: "Let's go inside and talk." Du Yuesheng's so-called "inside" is his own room. Yang Zhixiong followed Du Yuesheng. After entering the room, Du Yuesheng closed the door first. He asked Yang Zhixiong to sit down, and then lay down by himself. I would like to tell Yang Zhixiong: "I want to talk to you about a serious matter today." So Yang Zhixiong sat upright, with his hands on his knees, leaned forward and asked: "Dude, what advice do you have?" Unexpectedly, Du Yuesheng was shocked, and said like a thunderbolt from the blue sky: "I tell you, I don't want to live anymore." At the moment, Yang Zhixiong was taken aback and his heart was pounding, because he knew that Du Yuesheng had no jokes in his life, and he also knew the seriousness of the problem.But, on the other hand, he sincerely hoped that Du Yuesheng was joking with him at this time, so he made a point of laughing and replied nonchalantly: "Brother Yuesheng, Ah Shi Nong is not happy at the moment, is Nong Ah going to complain to me?" "I've already prayed today." Du Yuesheng replied irrelevantly: "If Jingshi can come today, I may still have hope, otherwise, my illness this time must be a disaster." On this day, when the typhoon hit Hong Kong, the mountains shook and the tsunami hit, the sky was dark and the sky was dark. When Yang Zhixiong heard what Du Yuesheng said, an ominous sign had already risen in his heart.But in order to comfort Du Yuesheng, he didn't make him go into a dead end, so he said in a joking tone: "Brother Yuesheng, what do you call prayer? You are betting against the sky!" However, Du Yuesheng ignored him, smiled wryly, and slowly told Yang Zhixiong: "Brother Zhixiong, I have known you for a long time, we have a long history, and we have a special fate, so I will tell you what I never say in front of others, and I will tell you honestly, I am really I don’t want to live anymore, why do I not want to live? I think you can understand at least half of the reasons.” Only then did Yang Zhixiong understand that Du Yuesheng was disappointed in real life. Yang Zhixiong searched his brains, trying to find some words of consolation to make Du Yuesheng "see more openly", but until the end, he just said helplessly: "Brother Yuesheng, since the Communist Party took over the mainland and we escaped from Shanghai, among all our friends, which one has no difficulties? Brother Yuesheng, just think about it, difficulties are inevitable for everyone, and you can get through this period with peace of mind. Days, there will always be a day in the future when I return to Shanghai." "You're right, Brother Zhixiong, you can all return to Shanghai Bund, just without me, Du Yuesheng." With a miserable smile, Du Yuesheng continued: "I'm honestly telling you that almost all the money I keep in Hong Kong is in Light. I knew early on that when my money ran out, I was going to die." "A joke?" Yang Zhixiong protested. He raised his voice and said, "Don't say that you, Mr. Du, have spent your whole life in righteousness and wealth. You have contributed to the country. Just because of the friendship you have released over the past few decades, how many lives have you saved? How many lives have you saved?" How many people have been in distress, and how many opportunities have been created for them to be promoted and make a fortune? As long as the people you have favored have a conscience, do their best, and repay the favor, Brother Yuesheng, will you still worry about the matter of Tongtian?" At the moment, Du Yuesheng's desolate and gloomy smile made Yang Zhixiong extremely sad and infinitely miserable. Du Yuesheng replied to him: "Brother Zhixiong, everyone has money at the head of the bed. When the money is used up, everyone can explain that a friend has the righteousness to make money and help each other. Only I, Du Yuesheng, can't, because no matter how much money I borrow, The result is still used up.” "Brother Yuesheng!" "Rather than begging for alms to survive alone, living one more day is just a drag on some friends," Du Yuesheng said in a sigh of relief: "Why don't you walk earlier, die clean and innocent, and go clean?" Yang Zhixiong was so sad, he didn't dare to look at Du Yuesheng, so he lowered his head silently. "I, Du Yuesheng, am still old-fashioned." Suddenly, Du Yuesheng raised his eyebrows again and said, "One sentence is one sentence, I said I don't want to live, man, I just hope you don't mess around with them, you want to save me In fact, it just added to my troubles." This was the last time Du Yuesheng and Yang Zhixiong had a heart-to-heart and frank meeting.
