Subordinate Doting - Chap 163
“If he is fine, please don’t bother me anymore. If he is not, please help me take care of him. I will come to pay my respects to him every Qingming Festival and Cold Food Festival. I will be very grateful.”
After saying these words, he rested his head on the rain-soaked mud.
Ji Tingyu looked at him without blinking, and saw that he waited until all three incense sticks were burned out before he raised his head, stood up, turned around and left.
The driver asked: “Do you want to go to the next elementary school?”
He Zhuo said, “No, let’s go home and go to bed early. I just prayed to the gods, maybe he will come to me in my dream tonight.”
The car drove away and Ji Tingyu did not follow.
He knew that He Zhuo couldn’t wait for anyone tonight.
”I don’t want to watch it anymore,” he said.
“A must see.”
”Why? This is not my life anymore. Can’t I just not watch it…” There was a kind of childish grievance and stubbornness in his hoarse voice.
Mr. Zang sighed for who knows how many times. He pondered for a long while, raised his hand and rubbed the cat’s head, and said helplessly:
”Because he took on the pain you’ve endured and gave you his progress bar, you can only live out his life.”
Ji Tingyu’s head buzzed: “…what do you mean?”
Mr. Zang motioned for him to continue reading.
Twelve months after Ji Tingyu’s death, a rumor spread through Yicheng, whether true or false. A young master Liu, who prided himself on being affectionate, could not bear the blow of his lover’s death, and went crazy looking for a way to revive his lover, even at the cost of spending all his family wealth and exchanging his own life for hers.
At first, it was just a topic of conversation after dinner, with people laughing at Mr. Liu’s wild imagination, but they didn’t expect it to become more and more outrageous as it spread.
Some people said that he found a master named Zang, obtained the resurrection technique, and successfully resurrected his lover.
Others said that he was lovesick and imagined that a master was there to deceive himself.
This news, which had a hint of fantasy in it, spread quickly and reached He Zhuo’s ears.
He found this Mr. Liu and used all means to get the truth out of him.
Mr. Zang really existed, and the technique of resurrection was not just a figment of his imagination.
But to resurrect his lover who died in a car accident with both legs crushed, he needs to willingly give up his legs.
Mr. Liu was unwilling.
”Zang, are you the Mr. Zang?”
Ji Tingyu looked at the people around him in disbelief.
If this had happened half a month ago, he would have definitely beaten this man out as a charlatan. But he had been reborn once, and had been brought here in a circle. Even the most outrageous things had happened. What was there to not believe? It was just…
”Why should he sacrifice his legs? Even if he succeeds, won’t there be other shortcomings?”
Mr. Zang was slightly startled and looked down at the wolfhound lying beside him.
The empty sleeve on his left arm still bothers him, but it’s all worth it.
”To go against the will of heaven and change one’s fate, to come back from the dead, is against the laws of nature. Not only does one have to pay an unimaginable price, but the person who has passed away must also be willing to come back.”
”Huh?” Ji Tingyu was puzzled: “How could anyone not be willing to do this?”
”You are.”
Ji Tingyu choked, he really didn’t want to.
”If you want the dead to come back, you have to rekindle their hope for life. However, those who died of unnatural diseases and suffered pain will still remember the fear of death and the torture they suffered when they were dying for a long time after they died, so they are naturally unwilling to do so.”
Ji Tingyu had a deep understanding of this. He still clearly remembered the pain worse than death when his skin was burned bit by bit.
”Then what should we do? You haven’t experienced it, so you don’t know how painful it is. Fear is something that is harder to let go of than hatred…”
”It’s very simple.” Mr. Zang said calmly, “If someone feels pain for you, you won’t feel pain anymore.”
Ji Tingyu’s heart skipped a beat, his eyes turned red, and an impossible hypothesis flashed through his mind.
”Explain yourself clearly! What do you mean I won’t feel pain if someone else feels pain for me? How on earth did I…how on earth did I come back to life?”
”Go and see for yourself.”
Mr. Zang grabbed him and pushed him into the next gust of sand.
”Someone has endured all your suffering for you, eliminated your past life’s karma, and allocated the rest of his life to you. Only then can you forget your hatred and reincarnate without worries.”
Before Ji Tingyu could even figure out the meaning of this sentence, he was swept into the next space by the wind and sand. When he fell down, he saw He Zhuo standing in the shadow with his back to him, with two tall and strong bodyguards standing beside him.
He floated towards He Zhuo without thinking, but the next second, two bodyguards raised the wooden sticks in their left and right hands, and “bang bang!” hit his legs hard!
”He Zhuo!” Ji Tingyu screamed in fear and rushed over, rolling and crawling.
The wooden stick was broken, and He Zhuo’s legs were broken forward at a twisted angle. He fell to the ground with a scream, hugging his limp legs and rolling around in pain.
Ji Tingyu threw himself on him, but the bodyguard snatched him out of his arms, dragged him to a bench and held him down, asking unconfidently, “Boss, do you want to continue?”
Ji Tingyu’s eyes were dull, he didn’t understand what was said.
He Zhuo replied breathlessly: “Continue…”
Was this his own…initiative?
Ji Tingyu stood there in a daze, watching the bodyguard pull He Zhuo up, press his head sideways on the bench with his ear facing upwards, and then take out a wooden stick with a nail sticking out of one end.
Before he could figure out what was going on, a scream rang in his ears. His pupils suddenly shrank as he watched the bodyguard drive that long nail into He Zhuo’s ear.
First the left ear, then the right ear.
Two pools of blood gushed out of his ear canal.
The cat knelt on the ground in a daze, as if a sword had pierced its heart.
Broken legs, deafness… these were all the sufferings he had endured in his previous life.
It turns out that if someone feels pain for you, you won’t feel pain anymore. That’s what it means.
But the lover he had won back in this way was thrown away by him last night.
