Chapter Ninety-Two: Begging for Forgiveness
After Xinle went down the mountain, she searched all the way and finally found the thatched hut where the mother and son were located.
At this time, Zhi Qiu was exercising in the house to recuperate the internal injuries that had gone mad on the Medicine King Peak last night.
His mother brought a bowl of chicken soup to make up for him: "Yaotian, listen to my mother's words, don't think about revenge anymore." Mother doesn't want you to get hurt in any way for revenge, okay?"
"Mother, you don't have to worry about me, my body has almost recovered, and when I breathe for a while, I can go up the mountain to find that Qianmo Ding to take revenge, I believe he shouldn't run." Zhi Qiu said.
"You also know that he can't run, and he is completely repentant now, so you can give him a chance, right?" said the mother.
"Mother, have you forgotten how your father died tragically? I became like this today, all thanks to that Qianmo Ding, this life and hatred, I must not stop here. Zhi Qiu said firmly.
"Yaotian, I have lost your father a long time ago, and I don't want to lose you anymore. I can see that with your martial arts, you can't beat them at all, so don't go to them again. It is also a satisfying thing for us to live our lives peacefully in this mountain, so why are you so stubborn?" Zhiqiu's mother persuaded bitterly.
"Yesterday I was too anxious to get the time right. When I get my body in order, I'll go up the mountain another day to find the Qianmo Ding, and I believe that I will be able to defeat them. Zhi Qiu said.
"How many times have I said it, why don't you listen?" asked the mother in a reproachful tone.
"Mother, so far, I have been difficult to ride a tiger, I have paid such a big price, if there is no return, will my face be ruined in vain?
"Knock Knock"
"May I ask if this is Brother Jing's home?" Xin Le stood outside the door and knocked on the door.
Chi's mother walked out and saw Xinle standing in the doorway. So he asked suspiciously, "Girl, are you..."
"Auntie, you're Brother Jing's mother, right? I'm here to find Brother Jing, is he here?" Xin Le asked Zhiqiu's mother.
Oh, girl, it's you, I remember, aren't you the one who was on the mountain last night... Is there anything wrong?" Chi Qiu's mother asked.
"Yes, hello Auntie, is Brother Jing here?" asked Xinle.
"Oh, he's there, please come in. "The feuding mother invited Citamine into the house.
"It's you? What are you doing? People from Yao Wang Feng are not welcome here. Zhi Qiu said after looking up at Citra.
Xin Le walked up to Zhi Qiu with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Jing." I know that you changed your name to revenge, you mean revenge, right?"
"yes, so what?" Chi Qiu tilted his head to the side, not looking at Zinaku.
"I know your name, but you don't know my name yet, let me tell you, my name is Cita, 'Xin' is the fragrance of flowers, and music means happiness," Zinale said with a smile.
"What does this have to do with me?" Zhi Qiu glanced at Xin Le.
"You know what? when I was born. He was black and ugly, and he still had a foul smell on his body, and he was abandoned by his biological father and mother at that time. It's my master and his old man, who don't dislike me. He picked me up and raised me, cured my body odor, and gave me fatherly love and care. He named me Zitra because he wanted me to be as fragrant as a flower. Always happy and carefree. Citamine began to tell Chi Qiu about his origins.
"You're here to intercede for your master, right? It's useless for you to say anything, he's my father's killer. The revenge of killing my father is not shared, and I must seek justice from him," Zhi Qiu said coldly.
"Brother Jing, I know the pain and feelings in your heart. But let's ask ourselves, who hasn't made a single mistake? As the saying goes, knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, can't you give my master a chance to correct his mistakes?" asked Xinle.
Zhi Qiu glanced at Zhou Xinle and asked disdainfully: "Thousands of words, you are also here to intercede for your master, right? You don't need to say it, I will not shake the idea of revenge." ā
"Brother Jing, I'm not here to intercede for my master today, I'm here today to ask you to save people. Citamine said.
"Ask me to save people? I heard you right? Who do you want me to save? Your master?" Zhi Qiu asked coldly.
"No, it's not my master, it's the people of Wuyi Mountain. Citamine said.
"The people of Wuyi Mountain haven't had an accident, why do you want me to save them?" Zhi Qiu asked suspiciously.
"There is no accident now, if you kill my master, they will have an accident. Do you know? For more than 20 years, my master has been providing free medical treatment to the poor people in Wuyi Mountain, and he has never charged a copper plate. If you kill him, then in the future, all the people in this mountain will be sick, and there will be nowhere to cure them, and now that the world is so chaotic and the people are living so hard, do you think you are indirectly killing them by doing this?" said Xinle.
"Iā" Zhi Qiu was dumbfounded by the question.
Citra continued: "Brother Jing, think about it. Who can pretend to be a good person and pretend not to change for more than 20 years? What doctor in the world can provide free medical treatment for the people for more than 20 years? When my master was young, he was indeed confused and made some mistakes, but this should not erase the good deeds he has done in the past few decades. ā
"What you said is true?" asked Chi Qiu.
"Of course it's true, if my master was afraid that you would go to him again to take revenge, he could have walked away, and he could go anywhere in the world. Why did he stay in Yaowang Peak even though he knew that you would go to him again? Because he was not afraid at all, nor did he avoid it. He only pretended to be a sick person in his heart, and only pretended to do good deeds and accumulate virtues to make up for his past mistakes. Do you know what the people of this mountain call him?"
"What do you call it?"
The people called him a great benevolent man, a living bodhisattva who saved the suffering. Zinaut replied.
"I, why haven't I heard of this?" asked Chi Qiu.
At this time, the mother on the side said: "I have told you these things a long time ago, but you just haven't listened to them, your eyes are blinded by hatred, and there are other things in your heart." ā
"Yes, Brother Jing, there is not only hate in this world, but also love, and love is the most beautiful thing in the world. ā
Zhi Qiu listened to this. I remembered the attitude of the princess of Fujian and those women a few days ago, so I suddenly said with some anger: "No, it's not beautiful at all, it's all lies, it's all deception." ā
Xin Le looked at Zhi Qiu with a blank face, and Zhi Qiu's mother hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry girl, my son Yaotian was originally very good-looking, and there were many women who liked him, but since he became like this, those women have left. He also spoke badly of each other with insulting words. Maybe he's remembering those unhappy things."
Xin Le listened to Zhiqiu's mother's words, raised his hand and gently stroked Zhiqiu's face and said, "Brother Jing, I know that you used to be the most beautiful man in Fujian. If I had before, I wouldn't have dared to look you in the eye. Although they are all gone now, if you don't dislike it, I am willing to stay by your side, be a cow and a horse, and I am willing to do anything."
Zhi Qiu gently blocked Citra's hand with his hand, turned his face to the side and said, "I am the way I am now. Who is qualified to say this anymore. I just want to avenge my dad and get back the price I paid. ā
"Brother Jing, think about it, what was the purpose of your father going to my master back then? Wasn't it just to persuade him to abandon evil and follow good? Now my master is already a good person who has done good deeds and accumulated virtues, so your father did not sacrifice in vain. He saved my master with his life, and indirectly saved thousands of poor people in Wuyi Mountain, isn't this good deed big enough? Why can't you accomplish what your father did unintentionally?" said Xin Lok wittily.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Chi Qiu, confused.
"Brother Jing, please think about it carefully. If it wasn't for your father's sacrifice, how could I have reformed my master? If he hadn't reformed, how could so many poor people benefit? Do you understand the truth that the person my master saved, that is, the person your father saved?" said Xinle.
"Understood, so what?" asked Chi Qiu.
"I know that your father used to be a chivalrous hero, if he was an old man in the spirit of heaven and knew that his sacrifice could save so many people, he should not have any regrets. But if he knew about his son, and he still tried hard to hunt down a kind doctor who reformed himself and cured the sick and saved people, then he really sacrificed in vain. This shouldn't be the result he wanted, right?
Xin Le's logical analysis made Zhiqiu feel that there was some truth, so he said: "Girl, you seem to have some truth in what you said. Actually, I haven't thought about it this way, but my father's revenge is greater than the sky, and if I don't avenge my father, I will be a son of man in vain. ā
"Brother Jing, when is the time for retribution? My master has long regretted his mistakes back then. Last night, he called our three apprentices over to confess his last words, and wrote down the medicine scriptures he had learned all his life, saying that he wanted to leave it to us, so that the three of us could continue to provide free medical treatment for the poor people in the future. Brother Jing, do you really want to see such a person who renounces evil and turns to good, and wholeheartedly does good deeds for the people, dies?" Xin Le asked again and again.
"I... I, I didn't let him kill people in the first place" Zhi Qiu had nothing to say, so he could only use strong words.
"Brother Jing, do you know the great Han ranger Guo Xie that Mr. Ma Qian of the Taishi Company mentioned in the "Historical Records"?" Xin Le asked after a while.
"I don't know. ā
"Guo Xie is a great Han ranger, and his chivalrous spirit is well-known. But when he was young, he also killed many innocent and good people in vain because he was too young to do more. Later, he knew that he could correct his mistakes, and he also sought justice for others. Therefore, Taishi Gong recorded that all the chivalrous people in the world at that time, whether they recognized Guo Xie or not, all took Guo Xie as an example. Brother Jing, like Guo Jie, a chivalrous man who can be written into the history by Taishi Gong is already a great person, but he still made such mistakes when he was young. In fact, my master also has many similarities with Mr. Guo Jie, he has been providing free medical treatment for the people for decades and saving many people's lives. Who is not a saint or a sage? Do you have to kill such a good person to calm the anger in your heart? If you kill my master and see his head fall to the ground in front of you, will you be able to be free and happy from now on?"
"No, I don't know. Anyway, all I know is that I have nothing left now for revenge. If I pay so much and still can't take revenge, what's the point of my life?"
After listening to Chi Qiu's words, Xin Le finally understood what he really thought in his heart. It turned out that he was unwilling to pay so much, but he didn't get any results.
"That's because you value your appearance too much. If you try to take a step back, don't pay attention to it, maybe you'll think about it all at once. Zinaut explained.
"Don't care, you said it lightly, you try it, from the best appearance in the world to the ugliest person in the world. Being disliked, humiliated, you never know what it's like," Zhi Qiu said.
"No, I know, I know too much. Because that's how I was disliked since I was a child. I've long been used to it, and now I take this dislike as the motivation for my efforts, and I'm no longer afraid of people laughing at me for being ugly, because Master said that only those with a good heart are the most beautiful people in the world. At this point, Zineda was moved with emotion and tears shining brightly.
"No, I don't see the good. There is only darkness in my world, only darkness. Zhi Qiu sighed sadly.
"Yaotian, it's all my mother's fault, my mother shouldn't have brought you to this world in the first place. made you bear the most painful everything in the world, my mother is really sorry for you. Zhiqiu's mother also hugged her son and cried.
"Mother, don't say it again, now I have nothing to complain about. ā
"Hey. It's just that you were too sharp in Changle City to make everyone jealous, otherwise the son of the King of Min would not find out your background and give you that evil martial arts cheats. Let you take revenge. Chi Qiu's mother said.
"Forget it, I accepted all this willingly, and it's useless to say anything now. My life, all my hopes, have been destroyed, and I can't see any light, so there's only one way to go. Zhi Qiu said.
"Who says there is no light and no hope in this world? Citamine said.
"Do all over again?" asked Chi Qiu.
"I know that if I had said this before, I would have been bored, but now we are connected by the same fate. Brother Jing, if you don't dislike it, I, Xinle, can always be a cow and a horse for you in this life, and a slave and a maid," Xinle said.
"No, although you are not pretty, you are at least an ordinary person. How can you sell your soul to atone for your master's sins?" Chi Qiu looked into Zi Lok's eyes suspiciously.
"I'm not selling my soul, I really like you, Brother Jing. You used to be so unreachable and unattainable. But now that I finally have this opportunity, as long as you don't dislike it, I can always take care of you by your side. Citamine said.
"I, Iā" Zhi Qiu didn't know how to answer.
"I know, you must hate that I'm not good-looking, right?" asked Zina.
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong," Zhi Qiu quickly explained.
"Then you're just saying yes to me?" Zinaut asked happily.
"I, I don't know, you let me think about it alone"
"Then Brother Haojing, I don't want you to give me an answer right now, but I want you to think carefully about what I just said, if you are willing to give up the matter of revenge and let my master continue to heal the people, I am willing to do anything for you. Citamine said.
"I'm in a mess right now, you guys go out first, let me think about it first. The two listened to Chi Qiu's words and left the room.
At this time, Zhi Qiu was alone in the room, with two different selves struggling in his heart, they were bruised all over his body, and his body was incomplete, and finally conscience prevailed over hatred. So he walked out of the house and saw Xinle in the yard helping his mother choose vegetables. How warm and beautiful it looked.
"Brother Jing, are you coming out, are you hungry? We're preparing lunch for you. Seeing Zhi Qiu coming out of the house, Xin Le hurriedly dropped the work in his hand and greeted him.
After thinking about it again, Zhi Qiu said calmly: "Well, I thought about it, maybe you are right, as long as your master continues to do good deeds and accumulate virtue in the future, I will no longer pursue the grievances with him." ā
"Really, Brother Jing, great, are you really willing to forgive my master?" Xinle jumped up with joy. I couldn't believe my ears.
"Well, but I also have a condition, that is, he must not do anything bad in the future, and if he dares to do it again, I will still kill him. Zhi Qiu said.
"No, Brother Jing, don't worry, my master is too late to do good things now, where will he do bad things." I didn't expect you to figure it out, I'm for Master and the people of Wuyi Mountain. Thank you for your great benevolence and great kindness. With that, Xinle bent her knees to Chi Qiu.
"Girl doesn't have to be like this, please hurry up" Zhi Qiu hurriedly stepped forward to support Xinle.
"It seems that I am not mistaken, Brother Jing, you are indeed a good person with a kind heart. Citamine said.
"Although I promise you not to pursue it again, it still depends on his future performance. Citamine said.
Xinle jumped up with joy, couldn't help but hug Zhiqiu, and said, "Great, Brother Jing, you are really the best person in the world." The best of the best. ā
Zhi Qiu embarrassedly pushed Zi Le away and said, "I'm dirty, don't stain your clothes." ā
"It doesn't matter, since Brother Jing has forgiven my master, I will also fulfill my promise. If you don't dislike me for being ugly, then from now on I will follow you, and I will be a cow and a horse with you to be sent at will. Citra said happily.
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that. I forgive you, Master, not because I want you to be with me, but because he is indeed doing good deeds and accumulating virtues. If I kill him, I will be guilty, girl, don't get me wrong. ā
When Xinle heard this, he said with some grievances: "I knew it. You still hate me for not being good-looking, are you?"
"No, no, no, I don't mean that, girl, don't get me wrong. It's really hard to see me like this now, and I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it. Forget it. If you don't dislike it, girl, let's treat each other as friends," said Zhi Zhi with low self-esteem.
"Brother Jing, thank you for your generosity and kindness! Please, Brother Jing, can you take medicine with me Wang Feng and meet my master, and let's make this matter clear to face?" asked Xinle.
"Medicine Wang Feng, I don't think it's necessary, right? Zhi Qiu said.
"Brother Jing, my master is now bent on death, if you don't tell him these words in person, I'm afraid he will still do stupid things in the end. If you think about it, now that you've forgiven him, isn't it a pity that he still can't pass his conscience?"
"Hey, okay then. Then I'll go with you, but just talk about this matter, and don't mention anything else. ā
"Okay, Brother Jing, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, and I promise not to embarrass you. Zinta said with a smile.
"Yaotian, great, you've finally figured it out. My mother can finally put her mind at ease. ā
"Mother, I've thought it through, and I don't want to be so miserable for the rest of my life, but I don't want to kill a good person by mistake. Zhi Qiu said to his mother.
"Well, if you can figure it out, this is my mother's good son, and your father didn't die in vain. Mother said happily.
"Mother, don't mention my father again, I'm so sad now, I still feel a little sorry for him. ā
"Son, if your father has a spirit in heaven and knows your decision, I believe that he will be happy for you, you don't want to let yourself suffer anymore, okay?" said the mother lovingly.
"Well, okay mother, I see. I'll go up the hill with this girl now and make things clear. Zhi Qiu said.
"Okay, then let's have dinner together, and let's go together in the afternoon, how about we?" said the mother.
"Okay, thank you, mother" Zhi Qiu nodded happily.
After a while, the mother brought out a table of home-cooked meals, and the three of them began to eat on the stone table in the courtyard.
"Well, this dish is so delicious, Auntie, your craftsmanship is awesome, if you can eat your dish every day, it would be great. Zinta praised as she ate.
"Okay, girl, then you will come often in the future, Auntie will cook delicious meals for you every day, how about it?" Zhiqiu's mother said with a smile.
"Okay, as long as Auntie and Brother Jing don't dislike it, we will eat together like this every day in the future, just like a family, how good. Do you say yes?, Brother Jing," Xinle said, looking at Zhi Qiu.
Zhi Qiu lowered his head and didn't answer, just ate vigorously. Xinle took a piece of green vegetables and sent it to Zhiqiu's bowl, and said, "Brother Jing, don't just eat, this dish is so delicious, come and eat more." ā
Chi was embarrassed and said, "Oh, thank you!"
The three of them finished their lunch happily. Zhi Qiu also felt unprecedented warmth and happiness from this meal. This kind of warmth has never been experienced even when he was in Changle City before. (To be continued.) )
