Chapter 159: Affection (Part II)
Sister Lan smiled and glared at the fat man with burning eyes. "It's a shame that you think of it, you actually use Li Lu as a shield to bully people honestly, isn't it? I'm joking, I asked someone to prepare a room for you, you and Li Lu still live in the old place, your brother and apprentice also live in the bamboo building, and it is convenient to meet each other, are you satisfied with my arrangement? ”
"Of course I'm satisfied, I'm not used to changing places." Wang Hao hurriedly surrendered.
Li Lu's original residence was also in Zhulou District, this arrangement was to consider their father-daughter relationship, after settling down, Sister Lan left immediately, Wang Hao said that she was an apprentice, and it was not suitable for her to stay. Li Lu was about to leave, but was forced to stay by the fat man.
"Li Lu, tell me what happened back then!" On the first night, Wang Hao was not going to teach the cultivation method, but to release the misunderstanding between the father and daughter, but the father and daughter could not recognize each other, which was the most painful thing. Although Xingyu recognized his father on the surface, the knot in his heart was not untied, and it was just a formality.
"I still don't want this." Li Lu was a little hesitant, this thorn was too deep in his heart, and it was destined to hurt and bleed when he pulled it out, he would rather let this thorn stay in his heart, rot, break or simply take it to the coffin.
Wang Hao smiled and said, "Li Lu, do you think it's okay if you don't say it?" No matter what the reason, for any reason, Xingyu doesn't recognize you as unfilial, I didn't accept her as an apprentice in the first place, and it is also for this reason that who wants to accept a disciple who doesn't even recognize his father? He doesn't even recognize his father, will he recognize me as a master in the future? It was because of your concealment that Xingyu ran away from home at the beginning, and he would have been wandering outside for so many years, so he would refuse to recognize you and bear the infamy of unfilial piety. You think your daughter is weak, and you are afraid that she will be hurt again, so you bury everything in your heart. However, in fact, Star Language is not weak, and very strong. Are you going to keep it hidden? I remind you that your father and daughter refuse to recognize each other, and it is also a knot for Xingyu, and the heart knot has an impact on cultivation, and it is easy to fall into demons. Xingyu's talent is very good, there is no need to worry about not reaching the Yuan Infant Period, but the danger of falling into the demon is very great, and it is better to solve the hidden danger first.
Chen Xuan also testified when he learned about the fat man's hard work: "The heart knot is indeed the great enemy of the cultivator, and the cultivator who dies in the devil is second only to the tribulation, because the heart cannot be determined, and the heart knot will also affect the speed of cultivation." ”
Although it is a bit alarmist, it is telling the truth. Li Lu's lips moved, and finally nodded with difficulty. "After so many years, I didn't want to mention it again, but for the sake of my daughter, I can only say it. I was born in a family of doctors, and from the moment I was born, I was destined to become a doctor, and I was also a miracle doctor, you can't understand the helplessness of the world, even if I bear the name of a miracle doctor, but I am not happy. There are far more people who die in my hands than they are saved, in my world there is only black or white, life or death, you know, I promised the patient to heal him, I tried my best, but I still have to watch the patient die, what is it like? I'm not as beautiful as others think, I drink and gamble, just to anesthetize myself. As the days passed, people continued to die at my hands, and I was still a miracle doctor. Those patients were terminally ill, and they came to me with the last hope, and death seemed to be a matter of course, and no one cared or angered me, but as long as I saved one of them, even if it was for a few more years, they would be grateful and continue to call me a miracle doctor. So, despite my decadence and frustration, my reputation grew louder and louder. And I gradually became numb, and I no longer felt anything when I watched the patient die. One day, a woman suddenly appeared in my home. ”
Cutting to the point, Wang Hao handed over a cup of Pu'er tea and asked Li Lu to moisten his throat first, stabilizing his mood by the way, because his voice sounded a little whimpering.
Li Lu raised his head, maybe he was reminiscing, maybe he didn't want others to see his tears. "She is as beautiful, gentle, and kind as an angel. Her smile can bring me warmth, and the first time we met, I was deeply fascinated by her and couldn't extricate myself. But she, like other patients, was terminally ill. ”
There is no doubt that that woman is Li Lu's wife, Xingyu's mother. As for the description of her appearance, the credibility is very high, according to the common sense of genetics, you can know by looking at the star language that her mother is not much worse.
"Even though I knew that she was terminally ill and had little chance of being cured, I still fell madly in love with her. I bought a truckload of flowers for him, proposed to her in the square, vowed to cure her, and despite all the opposition, we were married two months later. Li Lu was smiling, his face full of happiness.
"You healed her?" Chen Xuan also had personal experience, so he asked eagerly, if it was not cured, where would Xingyu come from? His speculation is reasonable.
Li Lu shook his head painfully. "We are in love, honeymoon, like all happy couples. It was the happiest time of my life, when I pushed away all my patients, closed the clinic and went all out to treat my wife. My wife was very cooperative, although it was very painful, she still insisted on cooperating with my treatment, and she said that she would live for the sake of her daughter and me. ”
Li Lu turned his gaze to Xingyu and said, "Xiaoyu, do you remember? When you were younger, you used to talk to your dad that our house was haunted and that we could hear terrible noises at night. It's not a haunting, it's your mom in treatment, she's in pain, that's why she moans. Although she tried her best to hold back, she was still heard by you, and that kind of pain is not something ordinary people can bear. Your mother's illness is getting worse and worse, and I've tried everything, but in the end it's still helpless, and everything has become meaningless. Your mother refuses to say anything despite her pain, as long as there is still a chance, she will accompany me to go on, even if it is hopeless insistence, as long as she sees her daughter and husband for one more day, she is willing to endure no matter how much pain she endures. The number of tubes inserted in her body increased from one to two, three, four, five, until I dare not count, your mother is a woman who loves beauty, and she doesn't like to let others see her unbeautiful, especially in front of you, every time I see you, she always asks me to pull out all the tubes and hide them, and then insert them back one by one after you leave, although the pain is unbearable, but compared with the pain of treatment, it is basically negligible. So, when you see your mother from the age of nine, she is always lying in bed, and at that time she is no longer able to move. Sounds stupid, doesn't it? Your mother is a stupid woman, so she will marry me willingly, believe my childish oath, and accompany me to endure more than ten years of suffering. We kept it a secret until you were fifteen years old, and I could no longer bear to see her suffer, and I secretly helped her make the decision to give up, and I not only ended her treatment, but also made some small movements, just to make her walk a little more comfortable and beautiful, your mother is a beauty lover, and I don't want her to frown because of the pain when she leaves. Although I kept everything very secret, I still let you notice it, and you did learn the true inheritance of the Li family's medical skills. So, you can't blame you for thinking that I killed your mother and have been resenting me until now. ”
Li Lu sighed and continued: "Originally, I wanted to wait for you to grow up and then tell you about it, who knew that you were so stubborn, you actually ran away from home alone, and said that you refused to live with the murderer of your mother. This matter remained in my heart like a thorn, and after a long time, it gradually became numb. I don't want to rehash the same thing. It's cruel to do that, both for you and for me. However, I don't want the past to affect you, so I can only say it as it is. In fact, I did kill your mother, I didn't ask for her consent first, I know she will definitely not agree, she is so kind, so deep in love with us, how can she be willing to leave? But I really can't let her be miserable. I'm sorry Xiaoyu, it's my father who is incompetent and can't save your mother. ”
"I don't believe it!" Xingyu walked out of the room in a dejected voice, her voice was surprisingly calm, but anyone could understand that her heart was not calm.
For a twenty-year-old girl, such a fact is indeed too cruel, maybe Li Lu's previous silence was right, who knows? But if things don't come out, Xingyu will always have a knot in his heart, and Li Lu will always be misunderstood by his daughter.
Syllable! Chen Xuan patted Li Lu's shoulder hard. "It's a man, I can't imagine that there is a more infatuated person in the world than me. You deliberately didn't tell the truth about the year, in addition to being afraid that your daughter would be hurt, but also punishing yourself, you hated your weakness, and finally gave up your persistence, and didn't hold on with your wife until the last moment, so you think you have failed her, because she didn't give up in the end. You hate yourself for being incompetent and incapable of saving your wife, so you let your daughter continue to hate you and try to anesthetize herself with pain. You are torturing yourself, and you are torturing Xingyu. But you can't be blamed for this, I've thought about giving up before, forget it, what can happen to people and ghosts. Yuxia is an arrogant person, and it is too unfair to her to live so inhumanely. Just doing a ritual can make her reincarnate and start from scratch. But Yuxia refused, she said that if she had to forget me, forget what we went through, and forget our feelings, she would rather never be reincarnated. At that time, my pain was no less than yours, we lived like this for three hundred years, fortunately, the sky has eyes, let me meet Brother Wang Hao, helped me refine the soul transmission pill, Yuxia can finally go to reincarnation, the day when our husband and wife meet is just around the corner, and there is no need for people and ghosts anymore. Three hundred years! ”
Chen Xuan looked up to the sky and sighed, as if he wanted to spit out the depression suppressed in his heart. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something. "That's right, brother, since you can help Yuxia, you will definitely be able to help his wife, it's rare to have lovers, it's better to fulfill them once!"
