Jiang Huan said somewhat nervously, "That face really looks even younger than Jiang Jiang's."
"Third brother? Don't you have an old man's smell? You don't seem to be much younger than Old Man Xia. Sister Tao advised me a lot back then, saying that when men get older, they have an old man's smell, and that when they get older, in that aspect..." Jiang Jiang suddenly realized that she shouldn't be discussing this with her third brother.
Jiang Huan "..."
"What are you two talking about all day long?" Jiang Huan asked, somewhat annoyed and embarrassed.
"How old is Tao Ying exactly?" Jiang Huan couldn't help but ask.
When I saw Tao Ying a couple of days ago, I only felt that she looked younger, but I didn't have any specific impressions.
"What I just saw was an old man's face. What if Sister Tao is actually eighty years old?" Jiang Jiang couldn't help but tease Jiang Huan.
“Then I will take care of her in her old age,” Jiang Huan said firmly.
"Third Brother, they're still talking about me. I don't think you're any better than me, you just haven't met that person yet," Jiang Jiang said, looking at the back of Jiang Huan's head.
Jiang Huan didn't say anything, he just drove silently.
After driving for four hours, Jiang Jiang took over driving for two hours.
The two of them didn't get out of the car except to go to the toilet.
They continued until they reached the place where Hui En was.
It was already 11 p.m. when we arrived.
Jiang Huan held Tao Ying in his arms, and Jiang Jiang went over to knock on the door.
"Amitabha!" The moment Jiang Jiang slapped the door, it opened.
An elderly man with a kind face and wearing a hat, dressed in a long gown, walked out.
"Uncle Hui, please save me!" Jiang Huan knelt on the ground, holding Tao Ying in his arms.
“Amitabha, every drink and every bite is a cause and effect. The fact that you saved my life back then is all for the sake of today,” Master Hui’en said softly.
Jiang Huan quickly picked up Tao Ying and followed behind Master Hui'en.
The house was plain and unremarkable, just like that of a typical elderly person living alone.
“Put this female benefactor down,” Hui En said, and then sat down to begin chanting sutras.
Jiang Huan quickly did as instructed, and then took Jiang Jiang out.
"Third Brother, is he reliable?" Jiang Jiang looked at the closed door with some worry after going out.
“Master Hui’en is 115 years old. I happened to save him during that great calamity and helped him conceal his identity to escape that catastrophe. He said that if I help him through a hundred-year tribulation, he will repay me in the future,” Jiang Huan said expressionlessly.
Jiang Huan never really took this seriously.
"You were suddenly targeted back then because..." Jiang Jiang looked at Jiang Huan in disbelief.
My third brother was a top soldier back then, but at the age of twenty-eight, at the peak of his career, he was suddenly targeted.
“I have seen Master Hui’en save many people, and I do not want such people to be persecuted. Master Hui’en said that I was risking my life to save him, and I do not regret it.” Jiang Huan has never regretted it.
Jiang Huan never believed in fate; he only believed in himself, thinking that he was not strong enough, otherwise he wouldn't be targeted.
Even if one does not hold a high position, it does not prevent one from serving one's country.
Jiang Jiang "..."
After Master Hui'en recited a Buddhist scripture, Tao Ying's appearance changed back to that of a middle-aged Tao Ying.
"Amitabha, how are you, benefactor?" Master Hui'en asked, his hands clasped together.
Suddenly, Tao Ying, a middle-aged woman, sat up and looked at Master Hui'en with a stern expression.
"Old bald monk, I'm not doing well, I'm living a good life, why do those two come and steal my body? Now look what's happened, the younger one has taken over my body and even kicked my eldest son out, while the older one has gone to the younger one to enjoy his life. Why can I only watch?" The middle-aged Tao Ying's voice was full of madness.
“Amitabha, every drink and every bite of the female benefactor is a matter of fate. Tao Ying was innocently dragged into this,” Master Hui’en said softly.
"I don't care, I'm coming back now. I have this small body and so much money, I'm going to live on my own," middle-aged Tao Ying shouted angrily.
I have to bring Baojun back. The poor child is all alone and can't even get a hot meal.
"Amitabha, contentment brings happiness." Master Hui'en raised his hand and grabbed the middle-aged Tao Ying, stuffing her into the wooden fish in his hand.
Following this action, Master Hui'en coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He then handed Tao Ying the beaded bracelet that he had worn for a hundred years.
"Thank you so much for saving my life, Master." After regaining control of her body, Tao Ying knelt on the bed and kowtowed to Hui En.
"Amitabha!"
"Master, are you alright?" Tao Ying asked worriedly as she helped Master Hui'en to his feet.
“Amitabha, this old monk is unharmed. Young friend, is there anything you wish to ask?” Hui’en asked gently.
"Master, did I switch places with her in her old age?" Tao Ying asked softly.
“Amitabha, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. Every drink and every bite is a predestined encounter. You have come into this world in response to the times. Please do more good deeds,” Master Hui’en said in a profound and enigmatic manner.
"How did my body get here?" Tao Ying couldn't help but ask.
“Amitabha Buddha, the old benefactor has been here before, willing to exchange his life for his original destiny, but the middle-aged benefactor is unwilling,” Master Hui’en replied.
"Amitabha, this old monk's karmic connection with you has come to an end." Master Hui'en said before closing his eyes.
"Take care, Master." Tao Ying said and left.
When I opened the door, I felt a cool breeze and realized that I was still wearing my pajamas and had walked out barefoot.
"Tao Ying?" Jiang Jiang looked at Tao Ying tentatively.
Jiang Huan quickly took off his shoes and placed them in front of Tao Ying, then put his combat uniform on her.
"Master, can I still go home?" Tao Ying turned her head and asked in a loud voice.
“Amitabha Buddha, what you see is what you think. One thought is one world. As long as you wear the Buddhist beads, you are yourself,” Master Hui’en said.
"What do I look like now?" Tao Ying asked, looking at the two of them.
"Try taking the skewer off." Jiang Jiang swallowed hard.
I felt a little uneasy, afraid that I would see that old face.
Then the two saw Tao Ying slowly remove the beaded string, but her face did not change at all.
"Sister, this is the real you!" Jiang Jiang suddenly came over and hugged Tao Ying.
Jiang Huan was completely stunned; this girl looked even younger than Jiang Jiang.
"Sister, let's go home first." Jiang Jiang gestured to help Tao Ying put on her shoes, then pulled Tao Ying into the car.
"Third Brother, what are you waiting for? Come and drive!" The two of them got into the car, but seeing that Jiang Huan was still standing there, they couldn't help but shout.
"Coming, coming!" Jiang Huan hurriedly ran over.
After Jiang Huan got on the bus, Tao Ying returned the shoes to him, mainly because they were too big and made him look like a boat.
"Where are we going?" Jiang Huan asked nervously.
"Of course we're going to my house. Otherwise, if the three of us go back to my house like this, we'll scare my parents to death. Tang Xiao and the child aren't home, so it'll be more convenient for me to go alone," Jiang Jiang said without thinking.
"Okay, okay." Jiang Huan nodded quickly and then started the car.
Jiang Jiang's home is a detached villa, so there is no disturbance to the neighbors.
