Chapter 127: Willing to Fulfill a Wish

Wuxia prefers being alone rather than being with others.

Even though she was ugly, terrible, and humble.

But she still loves herself the most.

If there is one person in this world who loves her, it must be herself.

If she can make herself happy, she will try it no matter what.

She doesn't care who is with her, as long as she is happy.

She likes a lot of things, mostly food, and she likes every flavor, sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy.

Once upon a time in the village, when she was hungry, a bowl of porridge was good to her, and every grain of rice seemed extremely sweet to her.

At that time, her biggest wish was to have a full stomach.

She would feel happier only after she had eaten her fill, but she was never very happy.

The village was so small that no one needed work, and she couldn't earn a penny. The family's land had been sold to others long ago, and other families' harvests were not good in the chaotic times. It seemed as if God was punishing these mortals, forcing them to fight on an empty stomach, to let them die quickly, and then leave a group of lucky ones to continue living.

Only when enough people die can the war end, the land produce a harvest, the emperor be less foolish, and the ministers be less corrupt.

God has already written the story of this mortal world. These mortals are so weak and stupid that they suffer, feel hungry, thirsty, and sick.

The few times that A Niang had enough to eat, she would sleep with the men in the village.

That was the first time she knew that she could have a full meal by having sex with someone. Unfortunately, she was too young, too small, and as thin as a grasshopper. The man was scared away when he saw her running.

When she grew up a little more, half of her head was missing and her face was so scary that no man was willing to sleep with a monster.

It was only when she arrived at the acrobatic troupe that she had her first meal. With a mouthful of rice in her mouth, tears began to fall from her eyes.

When she left this land and went to a larger capital, she ate more and better food.

After nightfall, she saw the monsters tangled together in the cages, the games played by the nobles, and the intestines of a child born without a purpose spilling out onto the floor. She lost her appetite for a long time.

Looking at the fried pork intestines, she even felt like vomiting.

The child's body was thrown out and soon eaten up by wild dogs in the mountains.

She wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to go. If she left here, who would take in a freak like her? They might kill her, make fun of her, and bully her, but she was afraid they would kill her.

It’s strange to say, Wuxia never thought about death. She felt that she had suffered enough and would definitely have a lot of happiness in the future if God was fair.

She hasn't made up her mind yet, just staying alive is enough.

So she closed her inner eyes, and as long as she couldn't see, she wouldn't feel disgusted.

No matter what those people did to her, it gradually stopped affecting her appetite.

She has no ambition and is content to just live day by day.

She has no sense of shame and is happy as long as she is not thirsty, hungry or tired.

There are many people outside, people who have starved to death on the streets, and wild beasts in the mountains and fields often eat the remaining human bones.

She's already doing well.

She didn't care at all about becoming a toy for the amusement of the rich and powerful.

Sometimes they would compete to see who could get more tips. With the tips, although they couldn't walk around freely, they could give the money to the thugs, and then they would naturally have delicious food and fun things to do.

Whatever she wanted, she took off her clothes and danced around, then covered her head with them. She still had a good body, well-maintained, and had not received many beatings, so she did not have many injuries on her body.

Before meeting Ah Heng, she had already met Meng Zangxue.

The acrobatic troupe passed by a small town that was hit by an epidemic.

They were temporarily trapped in the city. Although they were far away from the patients and were not infected by the disease for the time being, the boss still tried to escape with his men many times.

The officials stationed in the city were still having fun, ignoring the patients in the city and driving them all to the epidemic prevention office to wait for death.

There were not many people who went to this city to rescue the victims of the epidemic, and Meng Zangxue was one of them.

It rained in the city for many days, and the heavy rain, coupled with the corpses of the infected people, caused the disease to spread even faster.

The plague caused endless piles of corpses in the city.

They couldn't escape and could only leave it to fate, endure these days and wait for the epidemic to be cured.

I don’t know if someone exchanged something with God, but the epidemic was slowly brought under control after three months, and the number of corpses became fewer and fewer.

The reputation of Meng Zangxue as a miracle doctor even spread to the acrobatic troupe.

Everyone said he was a miracle doctor, and spread the word that he had supernatural powers that were unparalleled in heaven and earth.

They all said that he was a living immortal and that he had come to earth to save the people.

A man with such a good reputation also had an extraordinary background. He was the son of the head of the Meng family. His elder brother was a famous military general in the court. His grandfather had served as prime minister, but he did not want to pursue a career in politics. His mother was weak, and he was a filial son. He was determined to study medicine, but later he was unable to save his mother. After he came of age, he studied medicine in depth, focusing on curing diseases and saving lives.

To celebrate their success, they brought the miracle doctor to an acrobatic troupe. The troupe's owner had prepared many unique stunts that they usually performed for dignitaries.

As soon as he walked in, all the freaks stopped and stared at him in amazement.

Originally they thought that this miracle doctor was plain-looking and old, but they did not expect to meet a handsome young man with a face as white as jade and good character.

They feel inferior in front of ordinary people, and they feel even more ashamed in front of this immortal-like young man.

When he first came in, Wuxia was taking off all his clothes and walking around in circles.

His head was covered with stinky clothes.

They stared at him, and he stared at them.

Because he had never seen such strange-looking people, let alone so many of them.

He secretly analyzed their illnesses in his mind. Some of them were born with deformities, while others were probably injured when they grew up and unfortunately became infected when the wounds healed.

The boss cracked his whip and asked, "What are you all standing there for?"

"Act!"

She had no time to take off the clothes on her head. When she saw such a god-like man standing in front of her, she froze in place for a moment.

Meng Zangxue stared at half of her head in a trance. After a moment, he seemed to feel that this was not a good idea. Without saying anything, he picked up her clothes and turned his head away. "You should put them on."

The host smiled and pushed Wuxia to him, "Your Excellency, please enjoy it."

She wiped herself back and forth on the ground with her two dirty feet, took her clothes from his hands, and for the first time she felt like a bug in the cracks of the wall.

They originally brought him here to broaden his horizons and have some fun, but they didn't expect that he would be sitting here for consultation.

Those deformed and strange people lined up one after another to have his pulse taken and his examination examined.

He even performed acupuncture on the spot.

He was more interested in the diseased bodies of the people in the acrobatic troupe than watching them dance naked.

When Wuxia arrived, he deliberately asked her to come closer.

Wuxia felt embarrassed. She didn't take a bath all year round and her body was dirty and smelly. He still took her hand and pulled her closer. She was the last person in line, but Meng Zangxue was still very patient with her.

How could there be such a good person like him in the world?

So good that she couldn't describe it in words.

There was no contempt or fear in his eyes, not even the pity that made her uncomfortable. He simply treated them as normal people and gave them medical treatment.

Meng Zangxue examined the wound on her head and sighed, "You're truly lucky. An ordinary person would have died long ago with injuries like yours. It seems that God is blessing you. You will surely have good fortune in the future."

Wuxia listened without saying anything. His voice was pleasant, and she was afraid that she would interrupt him, so he stopped talking.

"You must protect yourself better in the future and be careful not to get hurt this badly again."

He was about to leave, and before she could say anything, she got anxious and imitated those people to praise him, "You saved so many people, you're amazing."

Meng Zangxue scratched his head. "Well, nothing much," he muttered. "Actually, in the first month, I found that the decoction didn't work and I was very anxious. I even went to a temple in the city to pray for help."

"What did you ask for?"

Meng Zangxue said, "I said to the heavens, please help me heal these poor people. I am willing to bear all their pain and suffering. If they are all guilty, then I am willing to bear it all. If I cannot bear it all in this life, then I will be happy to fulfill my wish in the next life."

Wuxia was stunned. He had such a kind heart and was willing to suffer for the world.

"God must have heard my prayers, so my medicine worked and healed those people."

Wuxia said, "But, aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"If there really is an afterlife, and you live a miserable life, what should you do?"

Meng Zangxue smiled and said, "That's what I deserve. I accept it with all my heart."

She said hurriedly, "No, no."

"You are a good person, and good people should not be punished," she said.

Meng Zangxue smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern."

Wuxia asked, "Where are you going after you heal them?"

She really wanted to go with him, but with her horrible appearance, those people would not treat her as a normal person like Meng Zangxue. She would definitely become a burden to him. Besides, he might not be willing to take her away.

"I haven't made up my mind yet. I'll continue to treat patients and save lives wherever I go. If we're destined to meet again, maybe we'll meet again."

After he left, I often thought about this sentence when I had no time.

See you again if we are lucky.

That means he might come back.

Wuxia was very happy and waited for a long, long time.

But Meng Zangxue never came back.

He was like a ray of light that shone briefly on her.

She felt very depressed and blocked in her heart, but she didn't know why.

Meng Zangxue's handkerchief fell into the acrobatic troupe. They scrambled for it, but in the end, she only managed to snatch a few fragments, which she treasured and held close to her chest, fearing that she would lose it.

She waited until everyone around her fell asleep before she prayed quietly.

She prayed that if God really wanted to give Meng Zangxue a bad fate, she hoped that she could become someone like him and save him from misfortune countless times, so that he could be as happy as she was at this moment.

Later, as time went by, she could no longer remember this person.

It was not until she was about to die that she thought of him again.

At that time, she had forgotten that she had ever felt upset about this person. But when she was about to die, she remembered that person's promise to meet again if they had the chance. Unfortunately, they could never meet again.

It's a pity for her.

Ah Heng is very good. He gave her a new skin, a slim figure, and a healthy body.

She is no longer a monster that everyone hates.

Ah Heng killed those people and destroyed her past.

Ah Heng gave her strength, wealth and wisdom.

And love. One day she suddenly realized that Ah Heng loved her.

And she was in a daze during those days.

Love and hate are not something that is so clear and visible to her, and they are not within her reach.

But she didn't know when one day she suddenly understood.

It turns out that Ah Heng actually loves her.

In this world, besides herself, there is another person who loves her for no reason.

She should love him in return.

She tried very hard to love him, gave birth to a child, and repeated to him the mantras and mental methods he wanted.

They had a very happy time.

She was so happy that she couldn't remember how she had lived like an animal for the past few decades. She suspected that the past was all a nightmare and her present self was her true self.

She was so afraid that this was just a dream, a beautiful dream, and she was still trapped in that body, in that acrobatic troupe, in that small mountain village.

The deepest love is to be willing to die for the other person.

So she had no hesitation and was willing to protect him at the critical moment of life and death.

She is his wife, and this is what she should do for him. He loves her so much, how could Wuxia not see that he is not a mortal? But it doesn't matter whether he is a demon or an immortal.

She only remembered that he was her husband.

He always said, "Love me more, Wuxia."

She breathed a sigh of relief. Now, she told him the answer with her most precious life. She had given him her deepest love.

He should be satisfied.

I don't know why, when he begged her to promise him that he would find her in the next life and renew their relationship, Wuxia fell silent and looked at the two children he had left.

She is a wife and a mother, and this family has given her so many beautiful memories.

She should promise him that no matter how long it takes, she will wait for him, and she will continue to love him no matter in the next life or hundreds of years later.

But she just handed him the sachet.

She knew exactly what was in the sachet.

Wuxia closed her eyes. She felt relieved that she could not have a longer life and an ageless appearance like him. She just wanted to be an ordinary person, with life and death. It would not be good for a person to live too long and see too much in this world.

When she was between life and death, she felt the tears on Ah Heng's face.

Then she thought of the day when Meng Zangxue reached out to her, exchanged her clothes with hers, and asked her to put them on.

Her body was so dirty. If only there was water that day. She wanted to see him after taking a bath.

Then, she began to wonder where people go after they die.

Where will Meng Zangxue go next?

He should have saved more people and gone further.

She was a little unwilling. Why did she have to meet such a good person? Why was she so greedy and not satisfied with Ah Heng?

What she should be thinking about is Ah Heng, the man who possesses power that absolutely surpasses that of ordinary people, the man who powerfully gives her endless love.

But she couldn't control her last thoughts before she died.

She even thought of the two children. They were so cute. Although sometimes her daughter could not control her strength and showed a long tail like Ah Heng in the past, she and her brother depended on her so much.

They love her too.

Just like Ah Heng.

But their love, which they gave their all, stayed in her mind for only a brief moment.

At the last moment, she understood.

Loving and being loved is never fair.
