"What? Brain tumor?!"
At nine o'clock in the evening on October 13, in a ward of Longtan Hospital in the capital of Dajing City.
Li Wangyuan, who rushed from Dongjiang after receiving the news of the student's accident, opened his eyes wide when he heard the test results just reported by the doctor, and he seemed to be stunned.
“Ah, don’t worry, it’s benign, not that serious.”
Seeing Li Wangyuan’s face turn pale, the doctor quickly explained:
"Well... I just heard from Ms. Xiao that you are Mr. Ni's teacher. You were often with Mr. Ni when he was young, right?"
"Uh... yes!"
Although the doctor had said "it's not that serious", the extremely scary word "brain tumor" still made Li Wangyuan feel a little sluggish, and he could only respond numbly.
But he is a doctor from the top hospital in Dajing City. Naturally, he has seen all kinds of relatives’ reactions. He added:
“That Mr. Li. You really don’t have to worry too much! Now The inspection results are quite optimistic.
"Just in time, since you are familiar with Mr. Ni's childhood, would you like to sit down first? I will also take the opportunity to ask a few more questions."
"Ah, okay, okay!"
Now Li Wangyuan was most worried about his body as a student, so he quickly sat down.
The doctor also moved a stool and sat down. At the same time, he glanced at the other people in the ward—Shang Chaotian, Lu Wenjie, Xiao Mingran, and Ni Jue himself, who had woken up and was lying on the bed. I have no intention of hiding the actual situation.
This is actually a little trick that doctors use when seeing a doctor: when the condition is relatively optimistic, tell all the situations in front of the patient. This will help reduce the patient's worries and facilitate subsequent treatment.
After pondering for a while, the doctor said:
"From the examination results, the brain tumor on Mr. Ni's head is not big, but it should have been there for a very long time.
"That , Mr. Li...
"Mr. Ni, did you have headaches, vomiting, difficulty seeing, etc. when you were young?"
Li Wangyuan thought for a while and answered truthfully:
"Well, there shouldn't be any of these situations.
"But when he was learning chess as a child, he would occasionally get dizzy after practicing chess for too long, and he needed to stand aside for a while - but he didn't have it after he was sixteen or seventeen years old. This is the case. "
The doctor nodded:
"Well, it seems that this little thing has been there since Mr. Ni was a child.
“But because this thing is benign and not big, it only slightly compresses the cerebral blood vessels when I was a child, but it has no effect after the whole person grows up.”
After making a preliminary judgment, the doctor turned his head and looked at Ni Jue on the hospital bed:
"Have you been in a similar situation recently?"
"Uh... yes... "
Seeing that Master has reached this point, Ni Jue knows that it is impossible not to explain now:
"When I feel tired recently, I feel a little dizzy, and occasionally I feel a little dizzy. A disgusting feeling..."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier, Ni Jue!"
Hearing her husband's explanation, Xiao Mingran on the side couldn't help but reproached him with great concern.
“Hey!
“I thought it was just that I had been struggling a bit too hard recently, and since I had been dizzy since I was a child, I always thought it was due to low blood sugar, so I bought some chocolates to keep with me. Who knew..."
"I told you to pay more attention to your health! You just don’t listen..."
"Um...Ms. Xiao."
Seeing that the couple was about to quarrel, the doctor quickly interrupted skillfully:
"Now we still give priority to treating Mr. Ni's condition. Let’s talk about it later.
“…Mr. Ni, Mr. Li, your descriptions are more in line with our judgment.
“Now it seems that Mr. Ni should have had a benign and stable small meningioma in his brain since childhood.
"It had some pressure on the cerebral blood vessels when I was a child, but since it didn't grow up, the situation basically improved and it was not discovered.
"However, recently, it suddenly started to continue to grow and started to grow again. It compressed the cerebral blood vessels, thus affecting Mr. Ni's physical condition. This time, Mr. Ni suddenly fainted, which was also directly caused by it.
“I also learned about it from Ms. Xiao before. In the past six months, Mr. Ni’s work intensity and pressure have been relatively high. He has lacked sleep, irregular diet and overwork. Perhaps these are the re-growth of this benign tumor. Big inducement.
“But fortunately, it seems that the tumor is only growing now, and other aspects are still very stable. The overall situation should be relatively optimistic, and the chances of recovery are relatively high! ”
Hearing this, Shang Chaotian and Lu Wenjie exchanged glances and nodded.
As we all know, as a doctor, whether he is optimistic about the condition or not, he will always be more conservative in order to avoid patients and relatives having too high expectations.
Now that I am willing to talk about it this far, it already shows that my condition is indeed very optimistic.
However, just when everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, the doctor changed the topic and continued:
"...That's right, although this little thing is still very stable as a whole, But we recommend immediate surgery.
“If a benign tumor suddenly starts to grow recently, this is not a good sign and may be a precursor to becoming malignant – there is precedent for this.
"So, we suggest that without further delay, the operation should be performed as soon as possible.
"Since there is a big leader saying hello this time, as long as there are no other problems on your side, we will arrange it as the highest priority! Will make it soon! "
Hearing this, Ni Jue couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked with some worry:
"Then doctor...can he still play chess after the operation?
“I, I have a very important competition next February!”
"...Competition?" The doctor frowned, shook his head and said:
"That's absolutely not possible!
"Although the recovery period from the operation is almost one to two months, It's okay, but for the sake of the condition, it's best to rest for the next six months and not do anything that is too strenuous, otherwise it may leave sequelae and affect your future life. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the ward.
Although Shang Chaotian and Lu Wenjie had been mentally prepared for the answer given by the doctor when they knew Ni Jue's accident, their hearts sank when they finally confirmed it.
Objectively speaking, although China has all its strong players in this Nongshim Cup, the situation is still not optimistic.
Sun Yi was eliminated in the first stage without gaining a clear advantage, and Lin Ruixin, who originally expected to return as the king, was in a state of confusion after the Yingyi Cup.
Lei Qi's state and level have steadily improved compared to last year's chess holy war. However, he has lost his "flow" and has failed to challenge Master Liu four times so far. He is already becoming Master Liu again. Running wildly all the way on the main road of Yimenghuo.
Although Kuai Liang is good at fast chess, judging from his complete defeat against Young Master Liu in the Yingyi Cup, he may not be able to shoulder this important task in the Nongshim Cup.
To sum up, Ni Jue, who is armed with a flying knife, is China's last trump card when facing the extremely powerful young master of the Liu family in the Nongshim Cup. It is difficult for others to replace him!
Once Ni Jue is unable to play, although China still has four players left in the Nongshim Cup, the prospect of winning the championship is already in jeopardy.
Although in theory, there is a way to let Ni Jue give his flying knife to someone else and let him use it to fight against Liu Shixian - just like when Professor Urban Cup gave Rui Zhao a flying knife to stop Bai Yin Like birch.
But Shang Chaotian knows that he could shamelessly beg Professor Ni Jue Rui Zhao about blocking Bai Yinhua in the City Cup last time, but this time he can say not to even think about it!
The reason... is very simple.
After Rui Zhao learned the Flying Knife Library, as long as Rui Zhao kept secret and did not disclose it to the public, there would be no essential conflict of interest with Ni Jue. In addition, Rui Zhao was Ni Jue's junior sister after all, so he could still talk about it.
But if it is left to other masters to compete in the Nongshim Cup... that would be a big statement!
As we all know, the reason why Ni Jue can hold on to the dual titles of [Celebrity] and [Tian Yuan] is because of the arsenal of flying knives he developed himself.
If this is revealed to masters of the same level, then people who have learned flying knives will come to challenge for the title. Ni Jue is equivalent to a swordsman and everyone will be forced to fight with bare hands. There will be a high probability that he will be defeated like this. Ni Jue stepped down - this is not even mentioning the possibility of the flying knife leaking to a third party!
Title, for chess players, is not only a bonus, but also a great honor.
If Ni Jue was asked to make such a big sacrifice for the Nongxin Cup, Shang Chaotian couldn't say it anyway.
At this moment, Xiao Mingran pursed his lips and suddenly stood up, and said to the doctor very seriously:
"Doctor, since this would trouble you to arrange the surgery as soon as possible, our family does not dare to wait. !”
“Honey, wait a minute, the Nongshim Cup is really for me...”
Seeing his wife’s decisive stance, Ni Jue subconsciously wanted to fight for it.
But seeing that her husband still wanted to bargain at this time, Xiao Mingran, who had always been intellectual and gentle, rarely roared:
"Ni Jue! Are you dying?!
"You really sacrificed yourself for the sake of Go? Don't you think about it and your family? ! ! "
After this roar, there was another burst of silence in the ward.
"...Xiao Ni, give up! ”
After a few seconds, Li Wangyuan persuaded him.
Although Li Wangyuan's tone is usually a bit old-fashioned, the words he just confided are extremely serious.
Immediately, he looked at Shang Chaotian and said very seriously:
"Old Shang! I think Xiao Ni is in this state, and winning the Nongshim Cup is basically giving South Korea a head.
"Please find someone to replace Ni Jue! ”
Hearing this, Shang Chaotian's heart sank slightly, but he knew that he had no choice now:
"Don't worry, Lao Li.
"I will arrange this! "
After agreeing to his old friend, Shang Chaotian immediately looked at Ni Jue:
"...Ni Jue, I understand your mood. But in the final analysis, the body is the capital of revolution.
"I have just communicated with the sponsor of the Masters Tournament, and they said that this tournament can only be completed this time, and the Masters Tournament can be held separately in the first half of next year! You don't have to worry about losing the title.
“As for the Nongshim Cup...I’ll replace it with someone else! Don’t be so unsure of other chess players in our country!
At this point, Ni Jue knew that it was useless to say anything.
Life, in the final analysis, is greater than Go.
No matter how strong his willingness to fight is, in the end he has to consider his family and cannot act selfishly.
The Chinese celebrity Tian Yuan, who had to accept the reality, couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, sighed, and then said with great reluctance:
"Master, Chairman Shang... I really really want to fight this time." Nongshim Cup!
“I really think... this may be the most important game in my life, I have been preparing for it for more than half a year!
“Even Xiaolei sacrificed his right to challenge the Tianyuan Battle and his exemption from the Nongshim Cup for me, and Rui Zhao also dedicated his time to studying flying knives to help me...
“The results are obvious. It was about to make the final sprint, but..."
At the end of the speech, Ni Jue, who had always been calm and polite, was obviously choked up.
Xiao Mingran, who had just yelled at her husband, sighed at this time, sat on the bed and hugged her husband, patting Ni Jue's back gently, trying to make him feel better.
Everyone present was silent, not knowing how to comfort this double title holder of Chinese Go.
But in the deep atmosphere, a clear female voice suddenly came from outside the ward, breaking the silence:
"Well, hello, sister nurse!
"Excuse me...which ward is Mr. Ni Jue in?
"I am his junior sister! Just came from Pengze City! "(End of this chapter)
