Chapter 18 Can a Dead Heart Be Cured?

"I will make them pay with blood!!!"

The old man gnashed his teeth and looked ferocious.

However, when he saw the jade pendant in his hand, his expression gradually relaxed.

"My girl... she's still here... I knew it, I could feel it..."

"The old man has nothing to ask for."

"My dear friends, I cannot repay your kindness. Please take this money."

"This……"

As long as there is enough money, Ling Yu is not a money-loving person.

She pursed her lips and subconsciously looked at Mingchen beside her.

They had only known each other for one day, but before she knew it, this amazing brother had become her backbone.

Mingchen smiled, casually took out a tael of silver, and said to the old man, "Old sir, this is all I need."

Ling Yu shook his head: "I don't want it."

"Hahaha……"

The old man smiled when he heard this, but his eyes gradually became dull and his breath became weak.

After five years of living in a daze, his mood changed drastically today, which had drained away his last bit of vitality.

Mingchen nodded and said, "Old sir, this matter is settled. We will leave now."

The old man looked at the young man deeply and nodded gently: "Okay!"

Such people~
So dazzling, so excellent.

He is suave, intelligent and handsome.

If the girl were alive and had seen him before she met that idiot, she would definitely like him.

If I fell in love with such a person, I would not go down such a path.

If the pear blossoms were in full bloom, she would be wearing a wedding dress and a golden hairpin, with a rosy face, smiling at him, her eyebrows curved and she would say: "Daddy, I want to marry someone hot~"

What would the scenery be like?

He shook his head, somewhat unable to distinguish between illusion and reality, and forced a smile: "My two distinguished guests, this old man is unable to see you off, I hope you can forgive me."

He breathed his last and was content.

"what?"

Ling Yu was confused again.

We've just said a few words, why are you leaving so suddenly?
The old man's blindness is not in good condition, she can try to save him!

Mingchen winked at her, took her wrist, and walked out the door as the old man gave him a final farewell look.

Their acquaintance was simple, and their separation was simple.

……

‘Squeak. ’

The wooden door closed again, and Mingchen and the other man left without hesitation.

Everything returned to calm, the sky gradually darkened, and the room became dim.

Yang Jianbing propped himself up and, using his last bit of strength, staggered into the yard.

Leaning against the dead pear tree.

The dry branches of the pear tree above his head swayed in the evening breeze. He looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and his rough palm gently traced it.

'tick'

'tick'

A few drops of blood and tears fell on the jade pendant.

"Daddy...Daddy...don't cry..."

"sorry Sorry sorry……"

The female ghost beside him stretched out her hand, wanting to wipe the tears from the corners of her old father's eyes, but she could do nothing.

Ridiculous, ridiculous, her life is a joke.

The man who had been persistent for half his life was belittled by the young man just now.

Isn't she a bad person herself?

Indulging in so-called love, he easily gave up his life and caused his father so much pain.

Even after she died and turned into a ghost, she forgot to visit her father.

"I see you... I see you..."

"Good pear, don't cry... don't cry..."

"How could Daddy blame you?"

As his eyes wandered, the old man finally saw the beautiful girl beside him.

The girl was crying fiercely, but there were no tears on her face and her expression was not pretty.

But he was a little excited and smiled unconsciously.

Finally he saw her. His girl was still as pretty and charming as ever, and she had always been his treasure.

He stretched out his heavy arm and gently stroked his daughter's cheek.

Although she couldn't shed tears, the female ghost kept squinting her eyes and crying with her mouth open.

In a trance,
The dim sky suddenly became bright, and under the shining sun, the green leaves of the pear tree swayed in the wind.

"Giggle~"

"Hahahaha~"

"Daddy~Daddy~"

The cute little girl rode on her young father's neck, spinning around and laughing.

The hearty laughter spread far, far away.

"Lizi, Daddy is here..."

There was a breeze, and the old man leaned against a dead tree, holding the jade pendant, smiling faintly, and fell asleep.

……

"Thank you, sir."

It was dark, and a crying voice flashed past Mingchen's ears.

"I forgot to ask the girl, what is the world of the dead like?"

……

"Brother, why don't you let me save him?"

After going out, Ling Yu asked Mingchen anxiously.

She was confident that she could save the old man's life.

Not to mention extending your life by ten or five years, at least it should be no problem to keep you alive for a month or so.

Although she was demoted by Mingchen not long ago, she did not change her mind.

She has always believed that she will not hesitate to kill someone who deserves to be killed, but she also hopes to do her best to save someone who deserves to be saved.

However, the younger brother said goodbye and left without saying a word.

"save?"

Mingchen turned to look at her: "Why do you want to save her?"

Ling Yu: ...

In this era, there is no need for a medical license.

She learned medicine, so she is a healer.

Saving lives, isn't that what we should do?

"Stop doing unnecessary things!"

"Do you know if he still wants to live?"

"Is it better to live a miserable and lonely life, or to die with all your heart and soul?"

Mingchen shook his head and asked her, "A weak body can be cured, but can a dead heart be cured?"

The old man's heart died the moment his daughter committed suicide.

Mingchen gave him the jade pendant. The old man was nearing death, and he should have seen his daughter in a daze before his death.

The matter is settled and the old man has nothing to worry about anymore.

Alive or dead, it doesn't matter.

Ling Yu: ...

Mingchen's question made Ling Yu speechless and she stood still.

She lowered her eyes and began to think about Mingchen's words.

Even if he is cured, he will still be a walking corpse. What’s the point?

It was dark, the sun had set behind the mountain, and the evening breeze was blowing, making Ling Yu feel a little cold.

A lot of things happened today, which meant a lot to her.

After meeting Mingchen, she seemed to see the world more clearly, and her cognition seemed to have been completely changed.

But at this moment, she felt a little confused. She didn't know whether it was necessary to continue with what she had insisted on and learned.

Her thoughts were not clear, and she became even more irritated when she thought of the old man's angry face not long ago.

A small thing can be magnified little by little to give us a glimpse into the rules of the overall environment.

Country, people, power, war...

This country is like this, this era is like this, where should she go next? Can everything really be as simple as she imagined?
