Orphan Song Rushuang transmigrated to the difficult 1980s, becoming the only little darling of the Old Song family for five generations.
Not only did she have both parents, but also five uncl...
"So, it was you who saved our Xiaoqi?"
Master Huikong slowly shook his head and then said softly:
"How could that be? It was Xiao Qi who saved the others."
Besides, if the child had really listened to what he said, he would not have used his special ability to save others.
Old Mrs. Song still hasn't forgotten Master Huikong's judgment.
Her heart suddenly sank.
When she came to her senses, her eyes were full of anxiety.
"Then my Xiaoqi!"
"Follow the will of heaven and act without hesitation."
Others may not understand what these eight words mean, but Old Lady Song somewhat understood them.
Ever since Song Rushuang was born, people have realized her extraordinary mystery.
The old lady followed Master Huikong to study Buddhism for a period of time. Although she was illiterate, she could understand the Buddhist teachings.
Xiaoqi's situation seems to have fulfilled the master's initial comments on her.
So the eight words he said today were to comfort Old Lady Song.
Master Huikong continued:
"Flowers bloom and fall, sometimes they bloom and sometimes they set. Some sigh, some grieve, but no one thinks of returning to the branches. Why is this?"
If it involved someone else, Song Rushuang might be able to analyze it calmly.
But this matter was related to her most precious and only granddaughter, so she really couldn't stay calm.
"Master, you are a highly accomplished monk. Since you predicted that Xiao Qi would experience such hardships, you must also know what remedy is available now, right?!"
For Old Lady Song, Master Huikong has become the most reliable and only trustworthy life-saving straw in her mind.
"Amitabha."
The same thing.
Man cannot conquer nature.
Although Master Huikong's abilities far exceed those of ordinary people, he is not an omnipotent god.
How can you save just one person?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Old Mrs. Song began to think of a solution and talk about her ideas.
"Since Xiao Qi was able to save her mother, I can save her too. Even if you want my old bones, just take them!"
Old Mrs. Song was not just saying polite words.
She really has such a firm belief.
If necessary, she is willing to sacrifice her life to save Song Rushuang.
Song Rushuang, who was standing by, naturally would not agree to such a thing.
She opened her mouth, about to refuse.
The other members of the Song family spoke before her.
"Mom, what are you talking about? It's not your turn to risk your life to save Xiaoqi. Let me do it!"
Boss Song disagreed and said to Old Five Song:
"You are the younger brother, I am the boss. No matter what, it is not your turn. Let me do it!"
"No, your Xiaofei's health isn't very good to begin with. I've been so worried and exhausted all by myself. If you're gone, how will I live?!"
"Then your fifth brother's wife will be fine? You should also think about your own family!"
Old Mrs. Song made the final decision.
"Stop arguing. This isn't your turn to worry about it. You all have children, and your grandchildren aren't adults yet. Just listen to me and raise them well. As for me, I'm too old to live any longer."
Mr. Bai on the side quickly came forward to express his opinion:
"Xiao Qi's grandmother, what you said is wrong. How can you still say that you are old in front of me and Master Huikong?"
To put it bluntly, at Mr. Bai's age now, there is no problem for him to be Mrs. Song's grandfather.
However, because Old Mrs. Song has been a farmer for most of her life and her family is not that wealthy, although she is naturally beautiful, she still ages faster than city people.
Just by looking with the naked eye, you really can't tell that the old lady is that much younger than them.
Even if Old Lady Song didn't know Old Bai's age, she knew Master Huikong's age.
He was a hermit who had been seen by her ancestors. How could his youth be explained by a secret technique?
She wasn't impressed by any of this.
She just wanted to save her only granddaughter.
Master Huikong said, "Trading one's life for another is a forbidden technique that is beyond the reach of Buddhist teachings. It even goes against the principles of heaven and earth, and is not an easy task. It is also harmful to Xiaoqi."
On the other end of Song Rushuang's line, Xiao Ai's dark voice slowly rang out:
"Why do I feel like this old man is scolding me?"
Although his name was not mentioned, it seemed as if every sentence was talking about him.
But Song Rushuang is very "understanding".
"I think it's quite normal. Your existence really shouldn't exist in this world. So, isn't it reasonable to say that you violate the laws of heaven and earth and don't conform to Buddhist principles?"
Instead, she questioned the system Xiao Ai.
"Hmm..."
"Stop! We are all friends, don't hurt each other!"
She really couldn't stand the system Xiao Ai whining in her head in a mechanical voice.
It's really creepy.
Old Mrs. Song didn't mind anything else except the last sentence.
She really couldn't ignore it.
Song Rushuang also spoke at the right time at this juncture: "Grandma, uncles, aunts, please don't make any impulsive decisions because of Xiaoqi's situation. Xiaoqi doesn't want to see you sacrifice anything for her."
With just one sentence, she drew everyone's attention to herself.
Shen Yao and Qin Cheng looked at each other, and saw worry and confusion in each other's eyes.
They also heard what the Song family and Master Huikong said just now.
As two people who don't know the truth.
Especially Chen Yao, he thought that as long as Song Rushuang could come back, it meant that she was fine.
But now it seems that things are not that simple.
Qin Cheng pulled Lin Bing, who was standing in front of him on the left, and asked in a low voice:
"Bingbing, what on earth is going on?"
How did it involve matters of life and death?
Lin Bing turned around and glanced at Qin Cheng, then slowly shook her head.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to explain, but she is also in a panic now.
Moreover, this matter cannot be explained clearly in just one or two sentences.
She was in no mood to explain now.
"What are you talking about, kid? How old are you?"
The old lady thought of what Master Huikong had just said.
Although it is not stated explicitly, it is no different from saying it explicitly.
There is no way.
Things have turned out like this, which is almost the same as Master Huikong's initial judgment.
Old Lady Song wept bitterly, slapped her thigh, and said through gritted teeth:
"Yes, you said it long ago that this matter cannot be resolved. If that's the case, then I won't live anymore!"
Old Lady Song hugged Song Rushuang, patted her back gently, and then murmured:
"Let's go on this journey together, grandma can take our little seven with her on the road to the underworld. In the next life, we can still be a family."
