591 Junior Brother’s Background
Seeing Su Xiaolu, Little Niu forced a smile. “Senior Sister, you’re here.”
Su Xiaolu held Little Niu’s hand tightly and transferred her Internal force to him.
“Sigh…”
Elder Niu sighed softly and slowly woke up.
Old Wu said calmly, “What happened? How did you end up like this?”
When he heard the news, Old Wu found it hard to believe. Elder Niu had worked his entire life. Not to mention being rich or having no worries about food and clothing, he should not die without a clean place to sleep.
Moreover, he had been accumulating good fortune for Little Niu previously. He had almost prepared everything he needed. Little Niu was such a filial child. As long as he was cured, no matter what, Elder Niu would not end up in such a state.
Elder Niu looked at his two old friends and smiled helplessly. He said indifferently, “Old Wu, I’ve always foreseen the future in my life and only found a chance for my child to survive through thousands of dead ends. No matter how I calculate, I still can’t predict the hearts of people. It doesn’t matter if my old bones go, but my child is pitiful…”
As Elder Niu spoke, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
He had always been kind and amiable to others, but in the end, he could not do what he wanted to do.
Now that he was on his deathbed, he knew that he would not live for more than a few days. He felt extremely sad.
If he still had time, he might still have the courage to deceive himself. However, he no longer had the time. Now, he was completely disheartened and did not even have the courage to deceive himself.
“Don’t think too much. We’ll take care of the child. We’re not afraid of anything.”
Old Wu said firmly. He glanced at Little Niu and said, “What do you mean by fate? I only know that karma is rewarded. Not only do you have to live well, but you also have to lead a good life with your kid.”
“Old Wu, with your words, I’m relieved… My kid is also a strong child. There’s no need to treat him so well. Just give him some leftovers and let him live.”
Elder Niu smiled. How could people like them harm others?
“What’s going on? Where’s your good karma?”
Old Wu frowned. He didn’t know much about Elder Niu and Little Niu, but he knew what Elder Niu had been doing. He also knew how much trouble he had put in. He had already completed more than half of the blessings of a hundred people. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t be so miserable.
Old Wu stared at Elder Niu and realized that when he asked, Elder Niu’s expression was clearly dim.
However, he still waved his hand. “Forget it. This is all fate. Let’s not talk about that.”
“Old Wu, I invited you here this time because I have a request. I hope you can help me one last time. I’ve calculated that only you can help me.”
Elder Niu looked at Old Wu, then at Gui You and Su Xiaolu.
He didn’t know who could help, but this last chance of survival was here.
“Master, I won’t do that. I shouldn’t have lived in the first place. Dying like this is also a form of release.”
Little Niu looked at Elder Niu with resolute eyes. There was also a vicious aura around him.
As soon as he finished speaking, he automatically chanted the Heart Cleansing Incantation.
This made Elder Niu unable to reprimand him.
“Xiaolu, can Uncle-Master ask you for a favor? Bring Little Niu out for a while. I have something to tell your two Masters.”
Elder Niu smiled gently at Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu couldn’t bear to refuse. She nodded.
She moved closer to Little Niu’s ear and whispered something. Little Niu got up and left with her.
After leaving the dilapidated house, Su Xiaolu and Little Niu sat on the mossy steps.
Su Xiaolu held Little Niu’s hand and said softly, “Junior Brother, we won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do. My Master has always been carefree. As long as he doesn’t want to do it, no one can force him.”
“Junior Brother, can you tell me what happened in the past few months?”
Su Xiaolu felt that decades had passed for Elder Niu and Little Niu in these few months.
Junior Brother’s appearance really made her heart ache.
“Senior Sister, let me tell you a story.”
Little Niu looked at the sky above his head. The sky was very blue, and the sunlight that shone down should be very warm. But for some reason, when it shone on him, he only felt a bone-chilling cold.
Su Xiaolu nodded, and Little Niu said slowly, “In the past, there was a rich family. The only pity was that there was no boy in that family, they had an only daughter. When the girl grew up, that family couldn’t bear to let her marry outside, so they chose a son-in-law to marry into the family. They found a poor blacksmith to be their son-in-law. This son-in-law lived a good life in the family. He was rich and had beauties accompanying him. He was very happy. The girl thought that she could continue living like this.
However, the good times did not last long. The lady’s parents passed away in two years and the huge family business was handed over to the son-in-law. The lady thought that he could be relied on, but the good times did not last long. The son-in-law was reluctant to leave the brothel and accepted a prostitute as his wife. This prostitute was not an ordinary person. She was proficient in Feng Shui and changed her fate. She changed her childless fate to having a child. She even made the lady pregnant at the same time and swapped the bad fate of her child with the fate of the child in the lady’s womb.
The lady met an old master and found out that her fate was turbulent. She only wanted to protect the child. The lady sacrificed her life to take half of the tribulation for the child. They used to be in love, but in the end, it was all for nothing. The old master took this pitiful child away and raised him. There was a chance to change his fate in twelve years. If he did not seize this opportunity, he would die in the next twelve years. The old master had accumulated the blessings of a hundred people just to take a hit for the child. The son-in-law had originally agreed, but when the old master took out the blessings, he went back on his word.
That blessing tears were fried by that prostitute to increase her son’s blessings. She even expelled the children of the old Master and the child, saying that they were unlucky. This opportunity had already been lost. The old Master decided to sacrifice his life to resist the calamity for the young lady’s child and give him another twelve years to live.”
As Little Niu spoke, tears were already streaming down his face.
Su Xiaolu was also crying. “Since the heavens are unfair, I’ll seek justice for Junior Brother. I’ll suffer whatever retribution or evil karma. I’ll go and catch him now. I’ll break his tendons!”
Her heart really ached. Thinking about it made her feel that it was too unfair. She got up angrily.
Elder Niu and Xiao Niu had traveled all over the world and starved. For a full twelve years, the hundred blessings that they had painstakingly accumulated had been so easily stolen by others. The evildoers were laughing in the mansion, while the victims were curled up in a dilapidated temple waiting for death.
“Senior Sister, don’t go.” Little Niu hugged Su Xiaolu’s leg. His eyes were filled with tears. His eyes were listless and he could not see anything, but at this moment, Su Xiaolu felt that his black jade-like eyes were filled with sadness.
“Everything in life has its own destiny. Master said that I have the root of wisdom and told me not to be blinded by hatred. I can’t let Master down. Even if I have to live for a day, I’ll listen to Master.” Little Niu smiled at Su Xiaolu. His smile was clearly very bright, but Su Xiaolu felt pain just looking at him.
