Chapter 7: A Leap of Life and Death
Scenes of dusty memories that had been sealed for a long time surfaced in Junci's mind.
"Dad, the medicine is already cold, you can drink some. Drink this medicine and you will slowly get better. A young man held a soup spoon in his hand and carefully fed the decoctioned Chinese medicine to the old man lying on the bed, gently comforting the old man, this young man seemed to be Junci.
The old man lying on the bed was so thin that he was only skinny and bones, and anyone could see that this old man was probably going to die soon.
The drowsy old man pushed away Junci's hands and shook his head, "I know my own situation, don't comfort me." β
Junci held back the tears in his eyes and gently helped the old man to lie down.
"Son, do you know what I did before I became an adventurer?" the old man's face showed a look of nostalgia for the past, and there was a little remembrance and reflection in his eyes.
Jun Ci held back her grief and shook her head.
"Before I explored the world, I was a doctor, a doctor who made it his mission to save lives, a doctor who saved countless lives, and was known as the Futu... I enjoy my job and I am very happy when I see patients who have been hurt and hurt and are back on their feet again after my efforts. At that time, I felt that the healer was a profession that controlled the life and death of people, sacred and not to be desecrated. The old man was completely immersed in the memories of the past, whispering about his past.
"By chance, I met your mother, and it was the happiest day of my life. Your mother was a gentle and kind woman, the kind of person who walked all the way out and saw a beggar to go around and help. She is the kind of person who will buy a little girl who sells flowers when she sees them, even if the flower is not her liking. From the moment I met her, I couldn't help but fall in love with her, more than life. Finally, under my unrelenting pursuit, your mother chose me among many suitors, which is also the most fortunate and proud thing in my lifeγγγγγγ And then there's you. Before you were five years old, our family lived a happy and happy life, I had a wife as beautiful and kind as an angel, and a son who was as witty and lovely as an elf, what else could I hope for?"
"Maybe that good time used up all the luck of my life, and soon your mother got a strange disease, and the vitality quickly dissipated in her, and I was so anxious that I was about to go crazy, and I tried all the methods and consulted all the medical books, but I still could not find the cause of your mother's illness and the cure for her. In your mother's last days, when I saw my lover's haggard face, I even thought of suicide. But your mother stopped me, she wanted me to live, to live well, to take good care of you, to watch you grow up. She said she would watch over us in heavenγγγγγ Not long after, your mother died, and the night she died, I burned all my medical books and tools, and never practiced medicine again. "The past made him a little distracted, and everything seemed to happen yesterday.
"Others don't understand why the famous Futu suddenly gave up his beloved profession? Only I know in my heart that I can't even save my own wife, so what qualifications do I have to save others?" the old man smiled self-deprecatingly, his smile full of bitterness. "I didn't listen to your mother, and I stubbornly left you with your aunt, and then I scattered all my possessions, traveled all over the world, and became an adventurer. I hope to find the secret between life and death, and I hope to see your mother again, even if it is just for a glance, so that I can go to hell forever without regrets. When the old man said this, his eyes gradually dimmed, and the vitality on his body quickly faded.
"The thing I regret the most in my life is not listening to your mother, giving you a complete childhood, and giving you a happy and warm home. If I meet your mother in heaven, she will blame me. The old man looked out the window at the twilight of the sunset, and the focus in his eyes was gradually dissipating.
"Son, do you know? I want to see you grow up happily, have a family of your own, marry a beautiful wife, and have a lovely child. I want to see you succeed in your career and live your life happilyγγγγγγ It's a pity that I don't have time, son, I'm sorry, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely make a cow and a horse to compensate you. Junci lowered his head, tears rolling in his eyes, blurring his vision.
The old man looked at Jun Ci affectionately, stretched out his trembling left hand and tried to reach out to Jun Ci's side face, and it could be seen that he had used all the strength of his body, as if it was the end of his life's pursuit. But the hand was only halfway extended, and then it hung down weakly.
"Dad!" Looking at the old man's reluctant eyes before he died, Junci let out a beastly howl, and rushed out of the ward frantically, grabbing the shoulders of the doctor outside the ward with both hands, "Doctor, save my dad, please, save my dad." β
Junci's snot and tears mixed together, like madness. For a teenager who lost a loved one at the age of 14, the pain was indeed unbearable.
The picture in my mind is shattered and replaced by a new one.
Junci stood in the school office.
"Have you thought about it?" said a middle-aged female teacher with a beautiful face wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, sitting at her desk, with three parts anger and seven points regret in her tone.
"Yes, teacher, I decided. Junci's voice was cold, almost ruthless, and his eyes were full of determination.
"Do you know what kind of honor it is to receive an invitation to enter the China University of Science and Technology at the age of 14 without taking the examination? Do you know? As long as you enter it, your life will be bright and smooth sailing. If you give up, do you know what that means? Don't be impulsive. The teacher tried hard to make the last retention, and she couldn't bear to see this kind of brutal thing happen in front of her eyes, in front of her most proud student.
"I'm sorry teacher, I failed you. In the face of the teacher's sincere retention, Junci's words carried a hint of apology, he calmly stepped forward, handed in the withdrawal application, bowed to the female teacher, turned around and walked out the door.
"And what about your invitation?" looked at Junci, who was about to walk to the door, and the teacher asked urgently.
"I burned it. Without seeing the teacher's painful expression, Junci walked out in the direction of the sun without looking back, leaving the female teacher with a radiant back.
The third picture.
"Captain, the price offered by that business giant doesn't seem to make you venture to the Bermuda Delta for him, does it?" a young man with dyed red hair and some of the same as Ah Fei frantically clicked on the various indicators on the steamer.
"I'm just for myself. The young captain of the twenty-year-old looked heroic, his hands firmly in control of the rudder, and he calmly watched the black clouds, silver lightning and huge waves outside the control room.
"Captain, there is a huge whirlpool five hundred meters ahead, hurry up and turn the rudder, otherwise it will be too late, I have to open the reserve sail and accelerate. A Russian man who looked like a giant bear shouted to Junci in broken English.
"You take the helm, I'll go. Junci coldly threw down the rudder in his hand and walked towards the stormy deck.
Bermuda is mysterious, and Bermuda is even more violent. As Junci struggled to untie the rope from her back sail and prepare to jump off the mast, a huge wave slapped the caught unprepared Junci into the sea and sucked it towards the center of the whirlpool. The last shot in Junci's eyes was the panicked expressions of the crew.
The three images alternate in Junci's mind, twisted and broken. Consciousness returned as quickly as a sponge absorbing water, and the memories of Junci's previous life flashed through his mind like lightning.
Junci, who had returned to consciousness, opened his eyes, raised his head to look at the immortal fan above his head, and muttered to himself, "Dad, I have come to a new world. I found the door of life and death that you and I had searched for in my lifetime, and it was right in front of me, and I was just a leap away from touching it. Dad, let's conquer it together and fulfill your and my long-cherished wish in our previous lives. β
Junci pressed his hands and feet against the cliff, his legs bent, his head raised and his hips raised, like a leopard hunting for food. At this moment, the power that had been lost for a long time seemed to return to his body. Without waiting for me, Junci jumped upwards without the slightest hesitation, leaving a figure rising in the air.
This leap is so amazing.
This leap is so sacrificing life and forgetting death.
This is a leap that inherits the lifelong obsession of Junci's father and son, and this is a leap that asks for questions and can die at night.
It's a leap through the cycle of life and death.
A leap of life and death!
This leap past, from then on, the fish jumped into the dragon gate, the sea and the sky. This leap can't be passed, and since then the immortals have been separated forever, and their souls have been lost.
Yang Xian looked at Jun Ci's figure jumping in the air and let out an exclamation, which was filled with three points of surprise, three points of confusion, and three points of sincere admiration.
Jun Ci's jumping figure looked clumsy, but it was full of a tragic momentum that he couldn't get over and died. This momentum is so thrilling and breathtaking.
Yang Xian looked at the lonely figure who climbed the cliff and stood upright, and felt that he was so tall at the moment.
With another exclamation, Yang Xian disappeared silently.
"Master, Jun Ci has successfully passed the Immortal Judgment. Yang Xian reported the truth.
Qingfeng, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, suddenly opened his eyes and burst out with a bright light like stars.
"I'll go first. Saying that, Qingfeng took the lead in shooting out like an arrow, and the other four people followed closely after him like a meteor catching the moon, and in an instant, in addition to a few empty chairs and tables and herbal tea, the entire Void Breaking Hall was left with a few empty chairs and tables and herbal tea, and Shen Bailu, who was still a little incredulous, was in a silent daze.
