Chapter 49 I Don’t Want to Learn
"A dying person?" Zhan Beiyuan looked at her. Because she was a member of the Xuanmen sect, she could tell whether the other person was alive or dead at a glance?
"Well, he doesn't have many days left." Jiang Yunxi said calmly, just like her, but she had more days than the other one.
"How do you know?" Zhan Beiyuan asked.
"Use your eyes." Jiang Yunxi smiled at him.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
Jiang Yunxi winked at him. "Want to learn? I can teach you fortune-telling."
Zhan Beiyuan's handsome face darkened slightly, "This king doesn't want to learn."
After saying this, he lowered his head and continued eating noodles.
Jiang Yunxi glanced in the direction the man left. She didn't know what curse he was under. Strangely, she could clearly sense that he was cursed at a glance, and could also tell that his life was coming to an end.
She knew that she was cursed and that she would never live past the age of twenty-two in any of her lives.
As for why she was cursed and who cast the curse, she didn't know. Although she had memories of many lives, she knew that she had other past lives.
In her first life, as far as she could remember, she was born with a righteous power that no one else possessed. She also had some mysterious memories in her mind, and even after every reincarnation, these memories followed her.
With the accumulation of life after life, she does know a lot about metaphysics.
When checking out.
It was Jiang Yunxi who paid the money, ten copper coins.
"The noodles are delicious. We will come again." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile. She knew that she would come again. It was a mixed crowd. She thought this place was quite interesting and she was very interested.
"You are welcome anytime, but you and your wife should come earlier next time. It's too late now and young people should go to bed early." The old lady reminded them with a smile.
Jiang Yunxi didn't expect them to be mistaken for a couple, but if she explained at this time, wouldn't it make people more suspicious when they were alone in the middle of the night? "Okay, we'll leave first."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Zhan Beiyuan followed her pace.
"Why didn't you deny it just now?"
"You didn't deny it either?"
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
A hint of amusement flashed across Jiang Yunxi's clear eyes, and he said seriously, "If I deny it, the people present might think that we are out for an affair, or that we are in cahoots with each other late at night, or maybe..."
"You don't have to say anymore." Zhan Beiyuan interrupted her to prevent her from saying anything shocking. It was almost the middle of the night, and if they were not husband and wife, it would indeed arouse people's imagination.
"We just ate a bowl of noodles, so let's just take a look around and digest the food before going back." Jiang Yunxi said her suggestion.
"Yeah." Zhan Beiyuan was not sleepy at all at this moment, but became more awake.
There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, all brightly lit at this time, like a city that never sleeps.
When the two were almost at the end of the street, a figure rushed out and blocked their way.
"It's you." Zhan Beiyuan recognized him as the wandering man from before.
The man ignored him, his eyes obscured by his hair, and looked at Jiang Yunxi through the gaps in his hair. "I sense it. We are all going to die, aren't we?"
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
She thought she was the only one who felt it, but she didn't expect that the other person felt it too.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhan Beiyuan said in a deep voice, frowning slightly. Could it be that this man is a fool?
"That's right, stop talking nonsense!" Jiang Yunxi said and slapped the other person's neck.
The man's body went limp and fell to the ground.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
Jiang Yunxi looked at the man on the ground and sighed in her heart. She didn't tell anyone except old man Qingxu that her life was coming to an end, and naturally she didn't want other people to know.
"What if you knock him out?" Zhan Beiyuan asked. He didn't expect her to act so quickly.
"Let's help him to a safe place first." Jiang Yunxi said after thinking for a while.
The two men helped each other to a corner where there were other homeless people on the street who were fast asleep.
"Can you go buy him some food? I'll watch here as an apology for knocking him out." Jiang Yunxi found a good excuse to get Zhan Beiyuan away.
Zhan Beiyuan looked at her deeply, nodded, and tactfully went to find a place to buy buns.
After Jiang Yunxi saw him leave, he took out a bag of silver needles from his sleeve pocket, pulled out a needle and stabbed it into the other person's philtrum.
The man shuddered in pain and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Jiang Yunxi, he huddled up in fear and trembled.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you as long as you don't talk nonsense, okay?" Jiang Yunxi said gently.
The man stared at her, then nodded.
"Do you know you are about to die?" Jiang Yunxi asked.
"Yeah." The man nodded.
"Can you show me your left hand?"
The man hesitated and finally stretched out his left hand, but because his sleeves were long, his entire hand was covered.
Jiang Yunxi grabbed him and pulled up his sleeves. She saw that his hands were black and dirty, and her original skin was not visible at all. As she pulled up his sleeves, she saw that the skin on his wrists looked like dry bark.
She looked at his other arm and it was exactly the same.
Then she pulled open his collar, and the skin below his neck was like dry bark. Only his neck was intact, and presumably his face was intact as well.
Once his neck and face are completely covered with bark, his life will be over.
I estimate there is only about a month left.
"Who made you like this?" Jiang Yunxi asked. The person who cast the curse was very vicious. From the moment his skin began to turn bark-like, he suffered excruciating pain every day.
The man shook his head.
"Have you been wandering here?"
The man nodded.
Jiang Yunxi thought about it for a while, "Do you want to come with me?"
The man shook his head.
"Come with me, and you won't have to wander around anymore, and you won't have to worry about having nothing to eat." Jiang Yunxi said. Perhaps because they shared the same pain, she wanted to make the other person's last days better.
"No, there are pig's trotters here." The man refused directly.
Jiang Yunxi's mouth twitched slightly, "Are you stupid? Come with me and you'll have endless amounts of pig's trotters to eat."
The man's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Um."
"I'll go with you."
Jiang Yunxi smiled slightly. She was determined to take him away tonight, even if she had to tie him up.
Zhan Beiyuan came back soon and bought some meat buns.
Jiang Yunxi handed it to the man.
The man swallowed hard, then took one and started eating it in small bites.
"I want to take him back." Jiang Yunxi said to Zhan Beiyuan.
"Yeah." Zhan Beiyuan did not refuse. When she sent him away, he knew that there was something wrong with this homeless man.
The two men took the man back to Prince Han's mansion and asked the servants to help him take a bath and change his clothes.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan were both a little surprised when they saw the man come out.
