bedroom.
"Ning'er, Ning'er, hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer, Jinhua will be back soon, she'll be back soon!"
The woman, who looked to be about thirty years old, had tears in her eyes. She was half-lying over the bed, holding the hand of the person on the bed.
The person lying on the bed was covered with a brocade quilt, but it couldn't hide his haggard appearance. The exposed skin was covered with age spots. There was almost only a layer of skin left on his body. He looked withered and old, as if he was at the end of his life.
"Jin... Hua..."
Ning'er murmured, and a glimmer of light seemed to burst out from her cloudy eyes.
"Jin... Hua..."
She held the woman's hand tightly, and the light in her eyes became brighter and brighter.
She was born with a deficiency, and over the years, she only learned these two words.
Although the Jin family has a magic medicine to keep him going, it is ultimately no match for the mortal cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death, and the cycle of reincarnation.
The woman held Ning'er's hand back, tears falling down her face until the strength in the hand that was holding her hand slowly faded away, and the woman's body went limp and she fell to the ground.
It was as if half of my life had been sucked away.
"The young master is back!"
A servant's voice was heard outside. The woman turned her head blankly and saw Jinhua's fat body appear at the door. His body blocked most of the light, making the room a little darker.
"I'm back with the Enlightenment Pill!"
Jinhua said breathlessly.
The woman raised her head woodenly, her voice still tinged with tears.
"Ning'er is gone."
Jinhua's body swayed, and if his body had not been stuck in the door frame, he would have fallen to the ground.
He hurriedly squeezed out of the door frame and rushed to the bedside. He saw that the old woman on the bed had her eyes closed and her skinny hands hung limply by the bed.
He tried to touch Ning'er's face tremblingly, but when he was an inch away from her face, he froze in mid-air.
"Why don't you wait for me?"
Jinhua touched his face; it was wet.
Full of tears.
It turns out that when people are extremely sad, it is difficult for them to cry loudly.
Tears only fall when you are unconscious.
"I've brought back the Enlightenment Pill. When you get better, you can enter Taoism, your lifespan will increase, and we can go see those beautiful sights..."
"Why can't you wait for me a few more moments?"
"It's okay if you wait for me a little longer..."
Si Lingfeng and a few others arrived later. As soon as they entered the door, they heard Jinhua mumbling to herself.
There was also the suppressed crying of a woman.
Si Ruoyun couldn't help but hold Si Lingfeng's hand, and the latter held Si Ruoyun's hand in return, as if to comfort her.
Most things in the world are not perfect, most things are just a little bit off.
It will be difficult to be perfect.
It cannot be perfect.
"Will I die too?"
Si Ruoyun seemed to be infected by this atmosphere and asked Si Lingfeng quietly.
"Don't say stupid things."
Si Lingfeng patted Si Ruoyun on the head.
The little girl stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
Jinhua didn't cry loudly like usual, but just sat on the ground, crying silently.
He held the Enlightenment Pill in one hand and Ning'er's hand in the other, and his whole body seemed to have lost its soul.
Perhaps this is the kind of experience we all have to go through in this world.
It was not until Jinhua's tears had almost dried up that he staggered to his feet and picked up the person on the bed with his fat arms.
The man was extremely thin, his waist not even as thick as Jinhua's arms.
"Jinhua, what are you going to do?"
Jinhua's mother called him.
Then he saw Jinhua turning around with a blank face.
"I'm taking my sister to see the mountains and rivers."
The woman was startled and tears streamed down her face again.
"Go, go."
In the end, he didn't even get to see Ning'er for the last time.
Ning'er's body was cremated, and the whole house was filled with gloom.
Gu Jinping couldn't help but sigh. Of all things in this world, the most frightening thing was this one step short.
Being just one step away is a regret.
Several people stayed in Jin Mansion temporarily, and only saw Jinhua again after Ning'er's funeral was over.
In just a few days, Jinhua had lost a lot of weight, and even his eyes could be seen clearly.
Jinhua came to return the Qizhi Pill.
Ning'er is dead, so the enlightenment pill is naturally useless.
"Since it is given to you, it is yours."
Si Lingfeng shook her head. How could she take back something she had given away?
Jinhua looked at Si Lingfeng with eyes that barely showed the pupils. "Since my sister is dead, the Qizhi Pill is naturally useless. The Jin family is just a second-rate family. Keeping this thing will bring disaster."
"What's more, when the whole family sees this enlightenment pill, they will think of my sister, which will only cause sadness."
Jinhua sniffed.
"The Jin family will never forget the kindness of Daoyou in giving us the elixir. From now on, the Jin family will be at your disposal."
After he finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, and his huge body immediately took up most of the space.
Si Lingfeng reached out to help him, but didn't know where to start, so he could only comfort him verbally.
Si Ruoyun also reached out to help, but failed to move her hand. Instead, her hand sank into the soft flesh of Jinhua's body and got stuck inside.
Si Ruoyun: “…”
She pulled it but couldn't pull it out, and couldn't help but look at Si Lingfeng for help.
The corners of Si Lingfeng's mouth twitched. He leaned over and lifted up Jinhua's drooping soft flesh, then took Si Ruoyun's hand out.
It was the first time she saw someone gain weight in such a layered way.
"Since you said that the Jin family would allow me to command you, then I will command you once now."
"Stand up, Jinhua."
Jinhua was stunned and wanted to stand up, but his body was too big. After struggling for a long time, Ye Fan kindly lent a hand and helped Jinhua up.
"I have something to ask you."
Si Lingfeng looked at Jinhua.
"Fellow Daoist, please speak."
"Have you ever met Ning'er's parents?"
The reason why Si Lingfeng was willing to help Jinhua was for the Jin family.
Or to be more precise, it was to get news about his adoptive parents from the Jin family.
Si Lingfeng never believed that the two of them, who had such a strong destiny, would die.
"I've never seen it, but my parents have!"
Jinhua had actually seen him before, but he was too young at that time and only knew that this person existed.
"My parents must know."
Soon, Jinhua's mother came.
Jinhua's father went to Shenglan City to look for Jinhua and has not returned yet. Only Jinhua's mother is guarding the Jin family alone.
Jinhua's mother's surname is also Jin, and her given name is Xiu.
Jinxiu looks to be about thirty years old. She doesn't look much like Jinhua, probably because Jinhua is too fat.
"Ning'er's parents..."
A nostalgic expression appeared on Jinxiu's face.
"They were a very loving couple. They were very strong and kind. If they hadn't saved the lives of the entire Jin family, they wouldn't have died in the end."
"I remember that at that time, besides Ning'er's parents, there was another couple, and the four of them had a good relationship. A few decades later, about a few years ago, they passed by South City once and said that their daughter was missing and they were searching all over the world for her."
"The Jin family also helped keep an eye out near South City, but they didn't see anything either."
After listening to Jinxiu's words, Si Lingfeng had an idea in his mind.
