Maybe you think this is a big coincidence, but it actually happened to him, and he didn't even have a chance to prepare.

He is a brain surgeon who has saved more than 10 patients with brain tumors through his hands. One day, he went home from work as usual, pushed the door to see, but found his fiancee fainted on the floor, he hurriedly called an ambulance, after examination, got a thing that made him laugh and cry, his fiancee cranial inside long two pea size brain tumor, on his experience to judge, the tumor is malignant, the success rate of surgical resection is "0". He was devastated, he cured so many brain tumor patients, but can not cure his fiancee, this is the fate of his great irony ah!

His fiancee left him that spring, and when she died, he quit, because he always felt that he was a fool to help others, only to see the people he loved most taken away by death. He felt that he owed his fiancee so much that he decided that he would never be a doctor again, and would never deal with women again. He decided to abstain from love in his life.

In order to get away from that sad place completely, he moved away from the city and made his home in a strange town. It is a small town near the sea, the people of the town are fishing for a living, in order to eliminate the loneliness, he also joined the mighty fishermen team, and since then the fishing boat formed a close friend.

He liked the rough waves in the sea, because he felt that only in the rough waves, he could forget the unpleasant things before and transfer all his attention to the entanglement with the wind and waves. He rose at sunrise and returned at sunset, living a life of drifting at sea all day, the sea breeze blackened his skin, and the nets were pulled in all day, so that his slender fingers became gradually thick, and he was secretly glad that under this, he could finally say goodbye to his former career, because such thick and clumsy hands were no longer qualified to pick up the scalpel.

There were many fishermen willing to make a match for him, but he refused one by one. He said that he was a man of no fixed abode, only the sea was his home, such a wandering life, only suitable for one person, never suitable for any extra people to accompany. Hearing this explanation, many people understood the difficulty, but only one person did not, she was the mayor's daughter.

She was a sweet woman, and the most beautiful woman in the whole town, and whenever he came back from the sea, she always appeared at his door to see him, and every time, she carried a basket in her hand, which was full of fruits and pears, she said, he went out to sea all day, the sea wind blew his lips open, and ate these to quench his thirst and replenish his vitamins. And he turned her away every time, and told her again and again that he would never love anyone again in his life. Whenever he said this, she always looked down and said nothing, and her eyes filled with tears of grievance. She did not know why he would be so hard-hearted, she secretly vowed that she must use her heart to influence him...

It was another time to go out to sea, do not think, the fleet just sailed into the fishing area, encountered a typhoon, he and his companions were fierce and vicious typhoon rolled to a strange island, the thorns caused him to be scratched, blood straight outwards, at this time, perhaps smell the smell of blood, I do not know where to dart out of a snake bite on his calf, He fainted immediately.

When he woke up, three days had passed, everything had calmed down, the sun was shining, he was lying on the warm island, surrounded by his companions, he had a nightmare for three days, every minute there was his fiancee, dream his fiancee came back from outside as usual, with a pot in his hand, he asked his fiancee, isn't there already a pot at home, Why buy more? His fiancee told him that this pan is a non-stick pan, after cooking, all the oil and rice stains will not stay on it, as long as the water gently washed, it is clean! 'This is wonderful!' he cried. At this time, his fiancee cried, and then said, the pot is not stained with oil is a good thing, but, after I left, why did you become a non-stick pan, no longer touch all the love? You could have been happy, forget me, or my soul will never be at peace...

He cried and said "no" in the dream, he cried like rain, the influence of his fiancee gradually blurred, a pair of women's hands handed him a handkerchief, it is the mayor's daughter, he originally wanted to push away the hands, but his own hands suddenly could not move, he woke up in a hurry...

His companions told him that it was the mayor's daughter who helped him suck out the snake venom with her mouth, and found some detoxification herbs from the island in time, ground them into paste, and helped him take them, so that he could be saved, otherwise, he would have died long ago! At the moment, the mayor's daughter can no longer speak because the snake venom has penetrated her throat, and the intense snake venom makes her become a mute...

On the day he returned to the town, he left the town with the mayor's daughter and went to the same hospital where he had worked, because there were skilled doctors there, and he must cure her, because he still wanted to talk to her for the rest of his life.
