Chapter 22: Dying
Changyue and the little monk didn't dare to inquire too much about the news of the secret realm, after all, they had gained too many benefits in the secret realm, and they always felt a little weak-hearted, as if they would be exposed if they asked too much.
"Female donor, let's go to Ah Cai's house to have a look, the little monk still has something there." The little monk said.
Changyue nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a look." "She also had luggage left at Acai's house, and their carriage was there.
The two came to the door of Ah Cai's house with ease, but they were surprised to find that the courtyard gate of Ah Cai's house had been smashed, and the yard was also in a mess, with all kinds of things scattered all over the place.
Importantly, the carriage they had placed here was gone.
The two walked into the courtyard, and it was quiet, and there was no figure of Ah Cai and his father.
"Acai! Ah Cai! We're back! The little monk shouted loudly.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Ah Cai did not respond, but a cough came from Ah Cai's father's room.
The two walked to the door, and Changyue shouted, "Ah Cai's father? β
"Ahem, cough, cough......" The sound of coughing came from the room again, "Is it the girl in white and the little master?" β
Ah Cai's voice revealed weakness.
"It's us, what's going on at home? What about Ah Cai? Changyue asked through the door.
"Ahem, ahem...... Come in and talk. Inside the door, Ah Cai's voice was weak.
"Then bother." Changyue pushed the door and walked into the room with the little monk.
As soon as the two entered the door, there was a pungent smell of medicine in the room, and they saw Ah Cai's father lying on the bed with a pale face, and there was no trace of blood on his face, as if he had run out of oil and dried up.
Changyue frowned and asked, "What happened?" How did you become like this? β
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Ah Cai's father covered his chest and said, "Girl in white, can I ask you to do me a favor?" β
Changyue hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You say, I'll do my best." β
Hearing this, Ah Cai's father showed a relieved expression on his face: "I probably won't live long, the only thing I'm worried about now is Ah Cai, he's still so young, what can I do without me!" β
"So you want to entrust Ah Cai to me?" Changyue asked.
"Ahem, ahem...... Yes. Ah Cai's father coughed violently again, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.
"If the girl in white is unwilling, then please take him away from Hundred Flowers City, go far away, don't come back, there is my enemy here, he will not end well if he stays here."
Changyue thought about it and felt that it was not a difficult matter, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." β
"There is no way to repay the great kindness, so I can only wait for the next life to repay it." Ah Cai's father smiled with relief when he heard this.
"So what the hell is going on?" Changyue asked suspiciously, "What about Ah Cai?" β
Ah Cai's father smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty." β
It turned out that Ah Cai's father was actually a martial artist in the past, otherwise their family would not have built a house in the slum that was so incompatible with the surroundings.
Although Ah Cai's father is just a martial artist, there is no problem in making money to support his family, he often goes out on adventures with three or five friends, and often gets something, so the family has a good life.
Once he and a few friends accidentally discovered a cave in the mountain, and after some exploration, they found that it was a place of inheritance left by their predecessors.
Since it is a place of inheritance, there is naturally a test level, and the level is dangerous and abnormal, and in the end, they are a group, and only Ah Cai's father and another person survive to the end.
There are not many things inherited in the cave, a book of cheats and a bottle of medicine.
According to the person who left the lineage, the secret book is the practice he practiced, and the medicine is the secret medicine that can change the root bone of the martial artist.
There is only one bottle of medicine, and it is not suitable for either of them to take it, but the cheats can be copied.
In order to prevent unfair distribution, in the end, the two people discussed, one person took the secret medicine, and the other person took the secret book, and the person who took the medicine should not copy the contents of the secret book, otherwise it would be unfair to one of them.
Ah Cai's friend took the lead in choosing the secret medicine that could change the root bone, and left the secret book to Ah Cai's father.
After leaving the cave, the two went home separately and have remained good friends ever since.
But Ah Cai's friends don't know how easy to get the medicine that changes the root bones of a martial artist!
The reason why the secret medicine is called the secret medicine is because it has great side effects, and the bottle of medicine can indeed improve people's root bones, but it is indeed premised on overdrawing the potential of the martial artist.
The people who left the cave did not say this.
Therefore, although Ah Cai's friend had raised his inferior root bone to a medium root bone by taking secret medicine, his cultivation speed had not improved much.
Gradually, he had a bad idea.
Ah Cai's father always thought that they were friends who had a fateful friendship and must trust each other, but he never expected that this friend would poison himself one day.
Once Ah Cai Dad was invited by his friend to drink, and when he was halfway through the drink, Ah Cai Dad found that his true qi was all gone.
The friend poisoned the wine and abolished Ah Cai's father's martial arts cultivation, and he had only one purpose, that is, to get the cultivation secret book.
Ah Cai's father was full of grief and indignation, so he naturally refused to practice the cheats, but the man did not embarrass him on the spot, but in the following days, he sent dogs to run around Ah Cai's father and son every day, which made the father and son miserable.
Since Ah Cai's father was abolished, their lives have plummeted, Ah Cai's father has to make a living by weaving baskets, and Ah Cai has also had to go to the street to solicit customers.
But even so, the other party still refused to let go of the father and son.
Seeing that Ah Cai's father had no intention of handing over the cheats, the man finally couldn't help it and planned to do something to the father and son.
But not long ago, Changyue and they suddenly lived in Ah Cai's house, and after hearing that Changyue was a martial artist, they could only bear it temporarily.
Later, the secret realm opened, and Changyue and they left for several days, and they didn't come back until the secret realm was closed, and those people thought that Changyue and they had left or died directly in the secret realm.
So they came to Ah Cai's house again, and not only smashed the place to pieces, but also seriously injured Ah Cai's father.
If Changyue and the others don't come back this time, Ah Cai's father will probably have to hand over the cheats to save Ah Cai's life.
Changyue and the little monk's carriage, as well as the luggage left at Ah Cai's house, were all looted by the gang.
However, after Changyue listened to Ah Cai's father's story, she felt that he was a little naΓ―ve, even if he handed over the secret book, Ah Cai might not be able to live.
Wouldn't they be worried that Ah Cai would seek revenge on them in the future? Therefore, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is the safest.
In fact, why doesn't Ah Cai's father know? He just didn't have a choice.
After speaking, Ah Cai's father groped under the pillow for a while, and then took out a booklet, which was the secret book.
The booklet was brand new, apparently written down by Ah Cai's father, and the cheats had already been destroyed after he memorized the contents.
"Girl in white, this is the secret book, I handed it over to you, I just ask you to give Ah Cai a chance to cultivate in the future." Ah Cai begged.
Changyue took the cheats and flipped through them, only to see that the first page of the cheats had the words "Tianhai Secret Classic" written on them, which was just an intermediate exercise, which was of no use to Changyue at all.
Of course, for ordinary martial artists, an intermediate exercise is indeed an existence that can be snatched up, like the exercises that Ah Cai's father and his friends practiced before are just non-mainstream existences, just like this, ordinary people can't touch them.
In order to maintain their rule, those big forces always have a firm grasp of the profound exercises in their hands, and they will never pass them on.
"I promise you, I'll pass on this secret book to Ah Cai." Changyue said after putting away the cheats.
"Thank you for your kindness." Ah Cai's father said gratefully.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the yard, and Ah Cai's father changed his face, and he was about to struggle to get out of bed.
"It's not good, it's Ah Cai!"
Changyue hurriedly pressed him and said, "You stay in peace, I'll take a look." β
"Ahem, ahem...... Trouble the girl in white. Ah Cai's father said with a worried face.
Changyue and the little monk walked into the courtyard, only to see a group of angry people standing in the middle of the courtyard, they were carrying Ah Cai, who was constantly struggling, and kept shouting in their mouths:
"Xia Lei, you turtle son, don't come out soon, if you don't come out again, your turtle grandson will die."
As soon as the man's words were finished, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air, and saw a fast brick appear out of thin air and smash on the man's head with lightning speed.
"Ah!!h
With a scream, the man's head instantly blossomed, and he subconsciously let go of Ah Cai.
"Sister in white!"
Seeing Changyue appear, Ah Cai hurriedly ran to her side, and those dog-legged people didn't dare to stop Ah Cai at all after seeing the white clothes, because they knew that Changyue was a martial artist.
"Ah Cai, are you okay?" The little monk asked with concern.
"I'm fine, where's my dad? My dad is fine. β
Originally, Ah Cai went out to buy medicine for his father, but he didn't expect to meet this group of dogs on the way back, and the newly bought medicinal materials were also lost.
Changyue shook her head, she didn't know how to answer Ah Cai for a while, his father had run out of oil and could die at any time, but Ah Cai was still trying his best to save his father.
After the few people in the courtyard saw Changyue, they didn't care about their smashed heads, and directly dragged their unconscious heads out of the door.
They don't dare to go head-to-head with the warriors.
Changyue didn't stop them, but they were some doglegs, not worth mentioning.
"Dad, I'm back." Ah Cai pushed open her father's door and shouted.
When Ah Cai's father saw Ah Cai coming back, he was so excited that he vomited a mouthful of blood directly.
"Daddy!!"
Ah Cai exclaimed in surprise and rushed to her father's bed, her eyes full of tears.
"Dad, are you okay, don't scare Ah Cai!"
Ah Cai kept wiping the blood from the corner of her father's mouth with her hand.
Ah Cai's father took his hand and said, "Ah Cai, Dad is going to die, and I can't be by your side in the future."
cough cough cough ...... I have asked the girl in white to take care of you, and you must listen to the girl in white in the future. β
As he spoke, Ah Cai's face turned pale.
"Daddy...... Ah Cai doesn't want you to die, Daddy ......" Ah Cai kept wiping her tears.
"Ah Cai......" Ah Cai's father's eyes became more and more dim, and his breathing became weaker and weaker, "Dad...... Dad, I'm sorry for you! He reached out and tried to touch Ah Cai's cheek, but before he could touch it, it drooped.
"Daddy!!"
Ah Cai suddenly let out a heart-rending cry.
"Amitabha!"
The little monk couldn't help but recite a Buddha name, and then quietly wiped his tears while silently reciting the Sutra of Rebirth.
The monks could not see this kind of scene the most.
Seeing this, Changyue touched the little monk's head, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart.
After making Ah Cai cry for a while, Changyue said, "Ah Cai, let's mourn." β
Ah Cai lay in front of the bed in a daze, holding her father's hand and refusing to let go.
In the end, Ah Cai chose to let his father be cremated, he was about to leave Baihua City with Changyue, he wanted to take his father with him,
Changyue agreed.
Changyue and the little monk didn't want to stay in Baihua City for long, and after dealing with Ah Cai's father's funeral, they planned to leave for Mingyue City.
Before leaving, Changyue asked Ah Cai, "Ah Cai, do you want to avenge your father?" β
Hearing Changyue's words, Ah Cai suddenly raised his head to look at Changyue, and said firmly: "Yes!" β
Changyue said with a smile: "Okay, I'll accompany you on a trip today, and you will have regrets in the future." β
In case Ah Cai's enemy dies at the hands of someone else, won't Ah Cai have no chance to take revenge in the future? Therefore, it is better to take revenge on the spot if there is a vengeance.
Besides, the revenge of her and the little monk for the robbery of the carriage and luggage is also to be avenged.
Ah Cai knew where the Qiu family lived, and under his leadership, the three of Changyue came to the south of Hundred Flowers City, which was the rich area of Hundred Flowers City.
It can be seen that Ah Cai's enemy's family background is much better than Ah Cai's family.
Looking at the vermilion gate in front of him, the little monk picked up the golden bowl of the Ten Thousand Buddhas and smashed it.
How could an ordinary wooden door withstand the attack of a strange treasure, only a loud noise was heard, and the mighty vermilion gate was smashed.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? β
After hearing the movement, someone from inside the door soon came out to check the situation, and when they saw the broken door, their faces changed, and they immediately broke their mouths and scolded.
But when they saw the three of Changyue standing at the door, they swallowed the words directly back to their mouths.
Some of them knew Changyue and had been slapped by Changyue before.
The man didn't say a word, but ran his leg into the house.
Changyue glanced at the family members who didn't dare to come forward: "We are here to seek revenge on your master, if you don't want to die, leave quickly." β
Changyue didn't want to make any extraneous branches, she just wanted to help Ah Cai take revenge and leave quickly, otherwise it would not be good to attract the attention of the city guards of Baihua City.
Family, you look at me, I look at you, hesitate for a while.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe hurriedly walked over, and when he saw Ah Cai beside Changyue, his face became very ugly.
He didn't realize that Ah Cai was a guest.
"Are you the person invited by Xia Lei?" The brocade-robed man looked at Changyue again and asked.
Xia Lei is the name of Ah Cai's father, and Ah Cai's full name is Xia Crimson.
"What benefits did Xia Lei give to Your Excellency? I am willing to pay double, but I ask Your Excellency not to intervene in our grievances. β
