Chapter 66 It’s still not too late to run away
"In this world, can money really buy longevity?" Li Chengfeng asked.
Wu Changsheng smiled and said, "Of course, how many years do you want to buy it for?"
Li Chengfeng asked: "What is life to you?"
Wu Changsheng looked at him strangely, not knowing why he asked this question.
In his eyes, life is nothing more than a currency that can be exchanged.
However, he keenly sensed something was wrong in Li Chengfeng's attitude, and asked cautiously, "Why are you asking this?"
Li Chengfeng remained motionless and did not answer his question. Instead, he asked, "Zhang Dedao from the hot spring town, was it you who extended her life?"
When Wu Changsheng heard the three words "Zhang Dedao", he was a little confused at first, and obviously he didn't remember who this person was.
Later, he came to his senses and realized that Zhang Dedao was the grandmother Zhang who had come back to life some time ago. He looked at Li Chengfeng with sudden realization and said, "You came here because you heard about the rumor of the resurrection of the dead, right?" He nodded to Li Chengfeng and said, "Yes, I extended her life. Her husband came to me and was willing to exchange his own life for hers."
However, he did not expect that Grandma Zhang was already dying at that time, and he had temporarily delayed the matter of extending her life for two days because he was receiving an important guest, which led to such a misunderstanding of the resurrection of the dead.
What Li Chengfeng really wanted to ask was another question: "Who did you sell Zhang Dedao's life span to?"
After hearing this, Wu Changsheng was stunned, and his back, which was leaning on the chair, instantly sat up a little straighter.
He pretended to be dumb and said, "What are you talking about? What was sold to whom? I don't quite understand."
Li Chengfeng said calmly: "Zhang Dedao died before his life span was over. Where did his extra life go?"
Where did the extra life go? Naturally, it was transferred to other people.
Wu Changsheng's expression changed several times, and suddenly he laughed, raised his thumb and said, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from your discerning eyes."
He was even more certain that Li Chengfeng in front of him was an expert, so he stopped hiding it and said frankly, "Yes, it was indeed me who lent her life to someone else. As for who it was lent to, I will not hide it from you. It was Liu Min, the most famous surgical expert in China."
Hearing this name, Li Chengfeng frowned slightly, as if he had heard of this name somewhere.
Wu Changsheng observed his expression and continued, "I believe you have heard about the news that was trending a while ago. Doctor Liu has saved countless lives in his life, but because of a medical dispute, he was stabbed eight times by a patient's family while he was seeing a patient. He was sent to the ICU and his life is in danger."
He sighed again and said with a sigh, "God is jealous of his talent. Dr. Liu just turned 40 this year, which is the golden age for a surgeon. I didn't expect him to suffer such an unfortunate accident. It's really pitiful and lamentable."
Li Chengfeng interrupted his sigh and said, "So it was his family who came to you to extend his life?"
Unexpectedly, Wu Changsheng shook his head and said, "That's not the case. His family members all studied medicine and are open-minded about life and death. As the saying goes, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God..."
Li Chengfeng: "Who is that?"
Wu Changsheng was interrupted for the second time. A trace of displeasure flashed across his face, but he suppressed it and replied, "It was his patients." He then added, "You know, these patients were waiting for him to perform surgery, but they suddenly died. Naturally, they were anxious."
Some of these patients were either rich or noble. They somehow learned about Wu Changsheng's existence, so they came to him and asked him to prolong Doctor Liu's life.
Li Chengfeng raised his eyes. This was an unexpected yet reasonable answer.
But soon, he thought of another doubt, "Why don't they ask you to extend their own lifespan?"
After going through so much trouble to extend Dr. Liu's life, don't they ultimately want Dr. Liu to save their lives?
Wouldn't it be better to just ask Wu Changsheng to extend your life?
Wu Changsheng replied: "Of course, life span is extended, but extending life span does not mean that all illnesses will disappear. If you are sick, you still need to see a doctor for treatment."
Now Li Chengfeng finally understood.
I see.
This group of people not only want to live longer, but also want to live with higher quality.
Because it was the patient who asked to extend Dr. Liu's life, he naturally would not be willing to exchange his own life like Grandpa Zhang did, so Wu Changsheng chose Grandma Zhang as the person to borrow Dr. Liu's life.
However, according to what Wu Changsheng said before, when he uses the art of borrowing life, the person who borrows life needs to enter into a contract with him and be willing to lend their life.
Why did Grandma Zhang agree to borrow her birthday?
Soon, Li Chengfeng knew the answer.
Wu Changsheng handed Li Chengfeng a surgery schedule with Grandpa Zhang's name clearly written on it.
It turned out that Grandpa Zhang suffered from severe cataracts and was almost blind. Given his advanced age, the hospital refused to perform surgery and adopted a conservative treatment plan.
However, under the conservative treatment, Grandpa Zhang's condition worsened day by day, and finally he could no longer see anything.
Until they found Dr. Liu, and after Dr. Liu's many efforts, they finally invited a well-known professor in the industry to agree to perform surgery on Grandpa Zhang.
The operation was a success. Grandpa Zhang regained his basic vision and a smile returned to his face.
But I didn’t expect that not long after, news came that Dr. Liu had met with an accident.
So when she heard that it was to prolong Dr. Liu's life, Grandma Zhang agreed without thinking.
In her heart, Dr. Liu is her benefactor and someone who deserves to live more.
So in order to repay the favor, she accepted the deal of borrowing her life.
Wu Changsheng said: "In fact, Grandma Zhang did not lose out. After borrowing her life, her son's half-dead hotel was revived, and her grandson also bought the school district house he wanted."
"Life is getting better and better for the family."
"Isn't this a happy ending?"
"Everyone is happy?" Li Chengfeng asked back: "Do you think this is a happy ending?"
"Of course." Wu Changsheng nodded and said, "It helps those who need it more to live longer, and helps those who need money more to get money. Isn't this a win-win situation?"
He relaxed more and more, leaning back on the chair, and talked loudly: "People are born unequal. Some people's lives are valuable, and some are worthless. In order for the entire human race to progress, the life span of those worthless people should be sacrificed to extend the life span of those valuable people."
Wu Changsheng felt that he was doing a great good deed that had never been done before and would never be repeated, and that he could accumulate merits and achieve immortality.
He even felt that this was his way.
Li Chengfeng laughed, but he was angry. What kind of crooked and evil way was this?
He asked Wu Changsheng: "Then what kind of life do you think is valuable?"
Wu Changsheng said confidently: "For example, the life of a person like Dr. Liu is valuable, but the lives of the townspeople in this hot spring town are worthless."
He shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that the heaven is unfair. Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang, the old couple, lived in a muddle-headed life in a small town like a frog in a well, but they can live for a hundred years, while the most powerful surgical expert in the whole of China is only forty years old and is about to die. This is really a pity."
Li Chengfeng: "Regret?"
"Of course it's a pity." Wu Changsheng said: "Those two old men are only saving two lives, but the longer Doctor Liu lives, the more people he can save. Can you guarantee that you will never get sick in your life? Can you guarantee that your family will never get sick in their life? I am saving lives."
"Rescue people?" Li Chengfeng smiled. "You call this saving people?"
Wu Changsheng nodded and said, "I am just letting the life flow to those who need it more. The weight of life is different. Some people's lives are lighter than a feather, and some people's lives are heavier than Mount Tai." He raised his arm and shouted, "I am just using the death of someone lighter than a feather to exchange for the life of someone heavier than Mount Tai."
Li Chengfeng shook his head and sighed: "In your eyes, Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang's lives are lighter than a feather, but in the eyes of their families, their lives are heavier than Mount Tai."
"Who do you think you are to be so casual about treating other people's lives with contempt?"
"Do you call yourself a god?"
“Who are you to use your moral standards to judge the worth of others?”
"In this world, every life has the right to live and the right to live well. No one can judge who is useless or redundant."
Hearing this, Wu Changsheng's expression completely changed, and he said gloomily: "Who are you? You are not here to borrow my life span, what are you here for?"
Li Chengfeng raised his eyes to look at Wu Changsheng who was facing a formidable enemy, and said calmly: "I am no one. I am just a person who is lighter than a feather in your eyes."
Wu Changsheng snorted coldly, stood up, turned around and left.
Li Chengfeng sat where he was, watching him push the door open and walk out. He didn't stop him, but just picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and made a "tsk" sound.
Before he put down the teacup, the next second, Wu Changsheng, who had pushed the door open, pushed it open again from outside.
When he saw Li Chengfeng, he was obviously a little confused.
"You, why are you here?" He pointed at Li Chengfeng, then suddenly turned his head and looked at the door behind him, his expression suddenly became interesting.
Wu Changsheng tried a few more times out of disbelief, but each time it was like being trapped in a wall of ghosts. After pushing the door open, he went out and then walked back inside again.
This happened several times, to the point of tormenting him so much that his face turned pale and he was sweating profusely. He finally gave up the idea of going out.
He turned his head and rushed towards Li Chengfeng with a ferocious look on his face, "It was you who did this, wasn't it?"
Unexpectedly, before I took a step, I felt like I was trapped in a quagmire and couldn't move forward.
What was even more terrifying was that, in addition to his body being restrained, his entire heart and breathing seemed to have been paused. His face instantly turned red, and then slowly turned purple, revealing a dying paleness.
Just when he thought he was going to be suffocated to death, control of his body returned to him.
Wu Changsheng's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, breathing in the hard-earned air in big gulps. There was undisguised fear in his eyes as he looked at Li Chengfeng.
Ever since he gained the ability to borrow lifespan, he is no longer afraid of anything. He is not afraid of the police, the powerful, or even death.
In his opinion, no matter how big the problem is, he can just run away.
But when facing Li Chengfeng, he could neither run away nor beat him. He could never guess this man's methods.
The unknown enemy is the most terrifying enemy.
He was completely scared and sat down obediently opposite Li Chengfeng.
"You..." He started crying, "What do you want?"
Li Chengfeng looked at him with a half-smile, "Not running away anymore?"
Wu Changsheng shook his head like a rattle, and asked with a hint of trepidation, "Are you bothered by the matter of Zhang's grandmother? This matter is indeed my fault. Otherwise, how about I return her life to her?"
How about it?
Not very good.
Li Chengfeng said calmly: "Except Zhang Dedao, you need to return everyone's lifespan."
When Wu Changsheng heard this request, he was stunned.
If all the lives were returned to their original owners, then he would have to give back his share of the profits, and he would be dead.
Moreover, time keeps moving forward. Time that has passed cannot be traced back, and the life span that has been consumed by the person who borrowed his life cannot be recovered.
He said to Li Chengfeng with a sad face: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't do it."
He told Li Chengfeng about his difficulties, hoping that the other party would give up.
Unexpectedly, this problem was not a problem at all in Li Chengfeng's eyes.
Li Chengfeng said: "This is easy. If you can't repay your life span in this life, you can repay it in the next life."
Wu Changsheng was completely dumbfounded. How could this be possible? !
If that's the case, then won't he be a short-lived ghost in his next life, the next next life, and the next next next life...?
He opened his mouth to refute Li Chengfeng's request, but then he rolled his eyes and closed his mouth again.
Li Chengfeng had a good idea, but the ability to transfer one's life span only existed in him, and he had no say on how much.
As long as he lied to Li Chengfeng and said that he had given back all his life span, could he really catch up with him in the next life to settle the score with him?
You might as well follow the other party's request and return part of your life first, so that you can get through this disaster.
After escaping from here, he will naturally find ways to develop new believers and reap new profits.
The world is so big, he doesn’t believe that he is so unlucky that he can meet another Li Chengfeng.
So under Li Chengfeng's supervision, Wu Changsheng reluctantly took out all the contracts signed with him by those who had borrowed his life in the past, and tore them up one by one in front of him.
Every time he tore up a contract, Wu Changsheng's face became a little older.
Until all the contracts were torn up, the person standing in front of Li Chengfeng became an old man with white hair.
After losing the life span that did not belong to him, Wu Changsheng finally turned back into his original appearance.
He stood trembling in front of Li Chengfeng and asked in a hoarse voice: "Now all the life spans have been returned. Are you satisfied now?"
Li Chengfeng shook his head. There was still one thing that had not been returned to its original place.
Wu Changsheng: "What is it?"
"Human emotions."
"Human emotions?"
Li Chengfeng stood up and looked him straight in the eye. "Only when you experience the pain of losing your loved ones and the fear of death can you truly understand what the meaning of life is."
He stretched out his hand, and black air came from all directions and gathered in his palm.
Those are the emotions of pain, sadness, and regret that come with the loss of countless loved ones.
At that moment, Wu Changsheng felt an unspeakable fear.
He wanted to escape, but his old body did not obey him. He tripped when he raised his foot and fell heavily to the ground.
He used all his strength to crawl forward, but he could not escape the black air howling behind him.
“Aaaaaaaa——”
A heart-wrenching roar was heard in the residential building, startling the cars parked outside and causing them to sound their alarm sirens. However, the residential building, which used to be bustling with activity, seemed to have been put on silent mode. Despite such a loud noise, no one came out to check.
Soon after, the yelling and car horns stopped, and the community returned to its former tranquility, as if nothing had happened.
At the same time, in the room of the hot spring hotel, Li Pingan was packing his luggage.
Li Chengfeng went out to do some work, and Li Ping'an considerately helped his uncle pack his clothes. After finishing everything, he began to look through the records of this social practice.
This social practice was very successful. If they organize the materials carefully after returning, their group will surely shine in the evaluation at the beginning of the school year.
She looked through the social practice record carefully and suddenly frowned.
She walked out of the room with the practice sheet, came to the door of the next room, knocked on the door, and wanted to discuss the issues on the record sheet with Qi Yu and Zhang Dongyang.
The door was ajar and opened easily, but the room was very quiet and no one was inside.
Qi Yu and Zhang Dongyang are not here?
At this time, they should be in the room packing their luggage like her, so where are they?
Li Pingan was a little confused.
She looked around the room and her attention was caught by a piece of paper on the coffee table.
She walked forward and picked up the note, only to see two words written on it in sloppy brushstrokes:
[Run!] 】
