Chapter 62 Are you coming to the funeral? (Ask for a monthly ticket)
When the universe was just born, atoms erupted from the singularity and rushed towards our destiny, turning into nebula, meteorite, ray, stars, dust... After billions of explosions and reorganizations, under incredible coincidence, all the atoms in people's bodies were finally able to gather on the same planet.
After that, after billions of years of evolution, from the simplest nucleic acid protein in the ocean to the unique people today, it may not be the first time I saw someone in the sea of people. I may have seen them in the singularity, in Sagittarius, in the spiral arms of the Milky Way, in the corona of the sun, in the eyes of the dinosaurs, in the city walls of the Tang Dynasty, in the smoke and dust of the Industrial Revolution.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are the most normal things. At the age of Old Patton, he has already seen it out, but he still feels lucky because he has not said goodbye yet and has not expressed enough nostalgia for the world. If he never wakes up again this time, he feels really regretful... If a person can still feel regret after death.
"At least, wait until I'm ready."
At this moment, Old Patton thought silently in his heart, feeling that there are still many things that he had not done. He had not had time to take care of the cattle and sheep he had just bought this year, nor did he help Quatta horses and alpacas to breed them. In addition, castrating the male calves is also a big deal. Otherwise, when he becomes an adult, he will go into heat and his flesh will become rough and irritable.
Almost all the things he thought of were related to the Snow Mountain Ranch. He lived in the Snow Mountain Ranch since he was in his teens. Old Patton had experienced the changes of this ranch for more than half a century, and his work occupied most of the old man's life, so that he could hardly imagine anything other than the ranch.
After experiencing this crisis, the perspective of looking at things has become different. Things that once thought were very important suddenly became no longer important. Some inconspicuous small things rushed to appear in Patton's mind. In just a few minutes of dazed, he had already looked back on his life. It was not exciting enough, but it made Patton feel satisfied.
There must be regrets, such as having no children, wife and children, such as some stupid things that I did when I was young, some people have been buried in the soil and have no chance to make up for it. Suddenly, I thought of Han Xuan, and Old Patton was close to this little guy from the bottom of his heart and wanted to see him get married and have children. Otherwise, I always felt that he was still a child and could not take good care of himself. Regarding the question of how much money Han Xuan has, the old man has never paid attention to the relationship between being happy and being happy and having money, but it is by no means a decisive factor.
Having been to the factory that extracts the At concentrate substances, Patton figured out what he had just been soaked in. He had witnessed a truck of grass with his own eyes, and only extracted a small bottle of concentrate the size of an ordinary test tube. He felt sorry for how much the half tank of "bath water" was worth.
The nurse only saw the old man in a daze, and couldn't guess what Patton was thinking about. She helped feed some warm water with glucose, and whispered that if she wanted to go to the bathroom, she would just follow the prompt bell by the window, and she or her colleagues rushed over immediately...
When he was the only one left in the ward, Old Patton had more time to think about it, but soon after, he heard the little girl's voice, as if he was standing outside the door, discussing who would knock on the door with one word.
Han Xuan was taken care of by Patton, and so were the little guys Gloria and Felicina. After being interrupted, a smile appeared on his slightly white face. He was used to living in a small wooden house in Montana. He felt uncomfortable living in such an advanced ward. The feeling of an acquaintance coming made Old Patton happy.
As the well-deserved "second-in-command" of Snow Mountain Ranch, he could have lived a wealthy life and earned a lot of Wall Street gold collars in seconds. However, he donated most of the money in his hand, leaving some expenses to satisfy his own. Han Xuan once proposed to help him tailor a "Barton Scholarship", but in the end, the old Patton, who seemed to be very thick-skinned but actually was rejected by the thin old Patton.
Sometimes people always feel that life is worse than death. Only after experiencing the state of close to death can we know that living is the most important thing. This is also the main reason why suicides rarely try to commit suicide for the second time. Old Patton has always been satisfied with the life he has, and is even more worried that one day everything will be meaningless, and can only live in other people's memories.
Smiling and turning his head to look at the door, the voices of Gloria and Felicina still sounded so interesting, with a slight sensation and revealing cleverness.
I couldn't stand the two little guys pushing around. As brother Han Xuan pushed open the door at this time, making the two sisters lose the meaning of the argument. He forgot what happened just now. They both ran to the bedside and shouted like before: "Barton! Have your illness been cured? Mom said that the doctor here is very good."
"Guess who we are? How did your white hair turn black?"
"Well...what is inserted into your nostril?"
"Also, what does the ninety-four on the screen mean?"
You said and said, "Ninety-four" refers to the heartbeat. It was originally only over seventy years old, but after being excited, it rose a little. Han Xuan was not as sweet as the two of them. He was a little better when he was a child, but now he doesn't know how to express his emotions. After putting a bunch of lavender in his hand on the bedside table, he reached out and patted Gloria and Felicina's heads, and said, "It's better not to speak."
Patton's illness has not yet been cured. He needs a quiet environment to cultivate, so don't be naughty."
His eyes looked at Patton's hair, which was really different from the one I saw yesterday, and the wrinkles on his face were not as high as yesterday. This made Han Xuan feel strange. Thinking about asking the doctor later, he said to Patton: "I just asked you that the blood stasis in the head has become smaller. There may be a minimally invasive surgery in the past few days, but it is not necessary. I have to observe for two days to see the situation."
Dad Han, Old John, Martinez, Anderson and others were all in the ward. They were a little empty before, but now they were lively. Their voices were quite small. Old John's eyes were red and he muttered to God's blessing.
In the past, my voice was full of energy, and my hot temper had not changed even after I was eighty. At this moment, Old Patton's voice seemed powerless, and he said to Han Xuan with a smile on his face: "Don't be cruel to them, they are just children, and I don't know anything."
It's okay, I feel energetic when I see them. Thank you. It must be very troublesome to send me here, right? It has disturbed your holiday.
John, why are you all wearing suits? Are you planning to attend my funeral?"
"...You can save some effort at this time. Almost all people wear formal clothes on the Four Towers of Snow Mountain. To be honest, it feels a bit uncomfortable.
You haven't decided who your shotgun is left yet, and you can't leave at this time."
Old John said happily, Patton was his best friend, and it was great to be able to chat again...
