After that, it became natural to be together.

Zhou Ankang took Ajuan through the door, and the two held a simple wedding in private. After another two years, the famine became more and more serious, and it became clear that the path of practicing medicine was also going to be lost. Zhou Ankang couldn't let Ajuan starve to death, so he took her out of his hometown.

Fifty years have passed.

In the past 50 years, the two have experienced a lot of things, ups and downs, and constant waves. The only thing that hasn't changed is the stay between the two.

……

Blue Shore Community, Room 502, 5th Floor, Building 9.

Zhou Ankang and Ajuan have lived here for almost seven years, and the house is still rented. In fact, after saving over the years, it is not that she is unable to buy a house, but Ajuan is always unwilling, she thinks that the residence is a temporary place for them to settle down, even if they buy a house, it is not their own, and they will sell it sooner or later. Therefore, Zhou Ankang always has a lot of apologies for Ajuan, but Ajuan doesn't care about those, for her, where the two of them are, where is home.

This is a warm two-bedroom and one-living room, Ajuan has arranged it in an orderly manner, and it is full of the atmosphere of home.

The sound of a blender at work sounded in the living room, and on the dining table was a bouquet of fresh chamomile, probably sprayed with water not long ago, and the petals were still rolling with water beads. In the bathroom, the clothes I changed last night were still soaked in water, and the smell of mung bean porridge wafted from the kitchen.

Zhou Ankang pushed open the door, the bedroom was bright and spacious, and there was a smell of soap in his nose. The curtains were rolled up, the windows were opened, the wind slowly poured in through the screens, the corner of the bed was slightly raised, and Ajuan lay there sideways, since she didn't go out much, she had the habit of taking a nap.

"Ajuan. ”

Ajuan opened her eyes and saw Zhou Ankang, slightly surprised, those eyes seemed to say: Why did you come back?

"I'm back. Zhou Ankang walked over and sat down beside Ajuan, held her hand and said softly: "I came back to tell you that I will not be a doctor in the future." ”

Ajuan froze for a moment, her eyes a little dazed. After a while, he nodded. She has always supported him in all his decisions.

Zhou Ankang reached out and stroked Ajuan's white sideburns and the wrinkles that couldn't be hidden at the corners of her eyes, and a trace of reluctance spread.

"Ajuan, I suddenly regretted it a little, why didn't I let you raise a child when you were young?"

He was worried that Ajuan, who had already entered old age after he left, had no one to take care of her, and she was the only one left, how pitiful it was. But fortunately, he saved a sum of savings, which was enough for Ajuan to find a comfortable nursing home and spend the rest of her life in peace.

Ajuan grabbed his hand with some uneasiness: What's wrong?, she squirmed her lips and asked silently.

A relieved smile appeared on Zhou Ankang's face, but before the words came out, his eyes turned red, "I'm leaving." ”

Ajuan was stunned.

Suddenly, her chest rose and fell violently, she grabbed his two cuffs hard, her eyes stared straight at him, her eyes slowly turned red, and her eyes seemed to confirm the meaning of his words, whether it was the answer in her heart.

"I didn't expect this day to come, many, many years sooner than I thought. I thought I would be able to wait until the day I sent you away. Zhou Ankang spoke softly, stroking Ajuan's hand one by one, and his voice became choked: "You know, I waited for this day for too long, but I really wanted to leave, but I found that I was still a little reluctant." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he was blocked by a hand stretched out.

Ajuan covered his mouth, there was an ecstatic smile on her cheeks, tears kept flowing down, and she muttered silently: Great, great.

She knew that he had been looking forward to this day, and the meaning of his life was to wait for that day.

Infinite lifespan is not happiness for him, but only disaster.

Because he's the kind of person who can't adapt to loneliness.

She couldn't imagine what would happen to one day when she would take the first step and leave him alone in this world? What would happen if he completely closed the door in his heart?

Her husband, who is gentle and kind, has saved countless people, has unlimited merits, and is a great good person who should not be treated like that.

Zhou Ankang wiped her tears and smiled bitterly: "You are also happy for me." ”

Ajuan nodded vigorously.

Only she really knows how he has spent the past fifty years.

"They waited for me downstairs and didn't give me much time. Zhou Ankang said.

When he entered the community, he glanced back and saw the two of them, standing under the tree at the entrance of the community, quietly watching him.

Let's go, don't worry about me. Ajuan said silently.

"Well, then I'll go. ”

"When I'm gone, you open my safe, and there's a card and a letter in it, which are for you. Don't cry after I'm gone, I have to be just in case of a stolen day, right? The password of the bank card is the same as before, it has not changed. I was afraid that you would know the password of the safe, so I didn't say it, but it was actually your birthday. ”

Ajuan kept crying and sobbing, gesturing her hands and said: Let's go, hurry up, don't let people wait in a hurry, what if I don't take you back?

Zhou Ankang lowered his head and kissed her hand, then got up and walked out.

……

Ying Xiaochuan and Ao Ling were at the door of the Blue Bank Community.

One sits on the steps, biting on a lollipop, holding his cheeks and staring at the entrance of the community. The other leaned in front of a tree, rubbing the edges and corners of the mirror with one hand unconsciously, turning the pen with the other, and glancing at the direction of Zhou Ankang's house from time to time.

Just half an hour ago, Cui Fujun called up all of Zhou Ankang's life deeds, and after Ying Xiaochuan read it, he fell into silence.

A tall and thin figure came out of the community, and Ao Ling immediately stood up from the steps and said, "Brother Xiaochuan, Doctor Zhou is out." ”

Ying Xiaochuan came back to his senses, looked at Zhou Ankang, got up and took two steps forward. Zhou Ankang walked up to him and said with a smile: "Sir, I'm here, let you wait." ”

Ying Xiaochuan nodded and asked, "Doctor Zhou, have you finished saying goodbye to your wife?"

"It's over. ”

"How's Madame?"

"It's good. I prepared a sum of money for her, enough for her in her old age. Zhou Ankang said.

Ying Xiaochuan said: "That's good, I just read Madame's book of life and death, Madame has a lot of blessings in this life, and she is a person who can live a long life." ”

Zhou Ankang smiled, his eyebrows and eyes gentle.

"Then it's time to get down to business. Dr. Zhou, according to the Book of Life and Death, you should have died on the same day as your original wife and children, but it has been more than 200 years since then, so after you die, your body will instantly turn into powder and disappear completely. ”

"Really? That's great. ”

Ying Xiaochuan was not surprised by his ease at all, and said with a smile: "Doctor Zhou, do you remember how many people you have saved in this life?"

"I don't remember, the doctor's job is to treat the sick and save people, where will I count the number of people. Zhou Ankang shook his head.

"That's true, but I can tell you that in the past two hundred years, you have saved a total of 653 people, of which 17,043 have been changed by your own hands. ”

Zhou Ankang was stunned, "My fate was changed by me?"

Ying Xiaochuan said: "Yes, that is to say, many people who should have died did not die in the end." Many people who should never have been born were born later. ”

If he hadn't seen the revised book of life and death with his own eyes, Ying Xiaochuan would never have believed that Shen Yu's actions would change the fate of thousands of people. A small imperial doctor, who has been secretly alive for more than 200 years, can have such great ability.

No wonder the boss would attach so much importance to this matter, Shen Yu's crime is hard to write.

Zhou Ankang said: "Am I in trouble?"

Ying Xiaochuan shook his head, fortunately, the prefecture's final handling of Zhou Ankang was quite fair, and he was not blamed for this.

"Whatever the consequences of this are, it has nothing to do with you, in the end, you are just a victim. After speaking, he said, "Hand over the book of life and death, and you will have nothing to do with it." ”

"Well, I'll give it to you right away, but is it right here?" Zhou Ankang asked. There are still a lot of people walking around the community, if he suddenly turns into powder, won't it be a sensation?

"It's okay, you look around here and feel the same as usual, but in fact, I've already laid an enchantment, and ordinary people can't see us. Ao Ling said with a smile.

Zhou Ankang understood, "That's good." With that, he closed his eyes.

The last sentence that Shen Yu left him back then was about the book of life and death: the book of life and death is in hand, no one in the Three Realms can control your life and death anymore, and you don't have to worry about it even if you encounter the underworld chasing soldiers in the future. The Book of Life and Death can only be destroyed by the Hell Ghost Fire, but the Hell Ghost Fire cannot get close to the living, so unless you are willing to hand over the Book of Life and Death, no one can help you.

A light gradually condensed at the center of Zhou Ankang's eyebrows, and a small black piece of paper flew out of the center of his eyebrows and floated in mid-air, which was the book of life and death that belonged to Zhou Ankang.

Ying Xiaochuan stretched out two fingers to clamp it, and then sent it to Cui Fujun, who had been waiting on the other side, on WeChat.

Zhou Ankang opened his eyes and was about to speak, when suddenly his expression froze instantly, and the light in his eyes went out. The body began to turn into powder from the soles of the feet, and after a while, the whole person completely disappeared in front of his eyes, leaving only a puddle of gray-black powder on the ground. In a few moments, the pile of powder sank into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

It was Cui Fujun who received Zhou Ankang's life and death book, and ticked a dead word on it. Therefore, Zhou Ankang died immediately.

The soul floated on the side of Ao Ling and Ying Xiaochuan, Zhou Ankang observed his body and hands with some curiosity, and found that after death, except for the body becoming lighter, there was no difference from before death.

"Two, where do I go from here?"

"Look, the Bird has come to pick you up. Ying Xiaochuan said.

Outside the barrier, there are several messengers from the underworld.

Under normal circumstances, the spirit birds only come at night, but today's events are extraordinary, so Cui Fujun directly sent the spirit birds to receive souls during the day.

With Ao Ling's permission, the spirit bird flew into the enchantment and opened the passage to Huangquan Road behind Zhou Ankang.

"Thank you both, thank you very much. ”

Zhou Ankang bowed deeply to the two, and then turned around and walked in.
