Fu Bao Ling Quan: I cried with regret after severing ties with my family!

Honghuo Brigade, Baoqing, Hunan.

"Jianye is dead. I can't live a life of seclusion in the countryside forever. Don't blame me for being heartless. Blame Jianye for dying too young, leaving his siblings behind. I'm a woman raising two children alone. How long will this life last?"

"Jianye's funeral was this morning, you can't get married this afternoon!"

……

Inside the house, intermittent sounds of arguing could be heard. Lin Fubao felt his eyelids grow heavy; it was as if he had been having a very long dream. In the dream, he had returned to 1976. His father had sacrificed his life while rescuing people on the mountain, and the funeral had just been held that morning. That afternoon, his mother was going to abandon him and his sister and marry into the city.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fubao struggled for a long time before finally opening his eyes.

The first thing you see is an eight-immortal table with an old tablecloth that has been soaked in grease and developed a patina. There are about ten people sitting inside, and a woman in her thirties is sitting on a bench, sobbing.

On the wall hangs an old Chinese calendar.

There is also a new portrait of the deceased.

The man in the portrait was wearing a military overcoat, had thick hair, and a faint smile; he appeared to be in his thirties or forties.

"father!"

Lin Fubao couldn't help but shout.

Tears welled up instantly.

Is this a dream?

Wasn't he dead? Lin Fubao remembered that when he passed away, his three children were all by his bedside, and he closed his eyes contentedly. If he had any regrets, it was that he shouldn't have forced his mother to come to the city with him back then.

"Sigh, why is this child so unlucky? Jianye just passed the exam for the health center and was about to be transferred there when he died while rescuing someone on the mountain."

"If Xiuxiu is going to get married, she should wait a few days. Jianye just had his funeral today, this is outrageous!"

"What a tragedy..."

……

Inside the room, a series of voices rang out.

Lin Fubao pinched his thigh; he would never forget the scene inside the room.

On this day, her father, Lin Jianye, had just been buried in the morning, and her mother, Chen Xiuxiu, was going to abandon her and her sister in the afternoon to marry the "white moonlight" (a man who had been unattainable love) in the city. In her previous life, she and her sister had been forced to go with him. After arriving in the city, all three of her stepfather's children were in school, while she and her sister had to work odd jobs to supplement the family income, and she had to do laundry and housework.

I am only twelve years old, and my younger sister is only nine years old and is also ill.

During meals, Chen Xiuxiu would always ask herself and her sister to eat in the corner.

Before he could make it through the winter, his younger sister fell ill and died. Lin Fubao was completely heartbroken. He carried his sister's body back to Honghuo Brigade, but when he returned, his house had been divided up by his eldest and second uncles. He could only follow his lame youngest uncle.

later.

He found the Guigu medical book left by his father at his uncle's house, studied it diligently, and gradually made his way out of poverty.

Forty years later, he joined Xiangnan Hospital and was just promoted to the position of director.

He also married a kind and considerate wife who bore him three children.

But at this very moment...

Chen Xiuxiu came to the door; the seventy-year-old woman had been kicked out by her adopted son.

She found Lin Fubao.

They wanted Lin Fubao to provide for his retirement, and they also brought along a mediator from the Hunan TV program.

Lin Fubao refused outright.

The program crew took her to cause trouble at the hospital, which resulted in Lin Fubao having her director title revoked.

But Lin Fubao did not compromise.

He just waited it out.

He didn't let Chen Xiuxiu into the house until she died on the street.

"I've been reborn!"

Lin Fubao was overjoyed.

next moment.

A jade pendant on his chest suddenly began to glow faintly.

Lin Fubao's consciousness was pulled into a space.

"Congratulations to the destined one who has received the Guigu inheritance!"

A voice rang in Lin Fubao's mind.

Lin Fubao looked around.

This is a vast space spanning tens of thousands of acres, with a stone platform in the center. From the platform, a gentle spring flows out, forming a stream. Simultaneously, countless pieces of information flood Lin Fubao's mind.

The Guigu School tradition.

Lingquan (Spiritual Spring).

The Seven Arts of Guiguzi.

Taoist medicine, spiritualism, physical strengthening techniques, teleportation techniques...

"Fu Bao, what's wrong?"

From the crowd, a figure ran out and quickly picked up Lin Fubao to examine him closely. The man was somewhat lame, and his clothes were covered in patches.

"Fu Bao, Fu Bao!"

Lin Jiannong shouted loudly.

"Uncle, I'm alright!"

Lin Fubao opened his eyes.

past life.

When he was young, his father told him that his family had inherited the medical arts of Guiguzi. But because the lineage was broken, the family had declined. The jade pendant on his chest was called Guiyu, and it was said to have been left behind by Guiguzi.

Lin Fubao didn't believe it in his previous life.

I can't believe it's true!

I have truly received the Guiguzi inheritance!

"Fu Bao, don't blame your mother. I'm only doing this for your own good! I'm leaving you one hundred yuan. From now on, you and your sister can live with your uncles. In three years, I'll come back to pick you and your brother up. Then, I'll take you to the city to live a good life!"

Chen Xiuxiu took out ten ten-yuan notes from her bosom and placed them on the table.

Upon seeing the money, the eyes of the eldest and second aunts lit up with eagerness.

"Are you doing this for us siblings or for yourself? You're abandoning us for just a hundred yuan. My sister is sick and needs treatment. Look at your aunts, they look at us like they want to take everything from our house right now. How long can we live if you leave us here?"

Lin Fubao countered with a question.

Upon hearing this, the eldest aunt and second aunt looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Xiuxiu, Fubao is right, 100 yuan definitely won't be enough to eat!"

"That's right, you'll have to pay more!"

The eldest aunt and the second aunt started arguing.

Lin Fubao patted his uncle's hand, and Lin Jiannong put Lin Fubao down.

"Our father just had his funeral today, and you're getting married today. No matter how weak your relationship with him was, he's still watching from the wall! Watching you leave us siblings here to die!"

Lin Fubao said again.

"Fu Bao!"

Uncle Yao's eyes were wet.

"elder brother!"

Lin Fuduo also woke up.

Her little face was flushed, and she held Lin Fubao's hand.

Looking at her younger sister, Lin Fubao's eyes reddened. In her past life, if she hadn't insisted on going to the city with her, her sister might not have died. At nine years old, how could she endure washing clothes in the dead of winter?

"Fu Bao, listen to your mother, two years, I'll come back for you in two years!"

Chen Xiuxiu said.

"The people who came to pick you up are already waiting outside; I can't stop you even if I wanted to. But I have my conditions!"

Lin Fubao said.

When someone's heart is hardened, nothing they say will make a difference! She wants to go to the city; she wants to become a respectable person there. She's willing to abandon her own child to become someone else's stepmother; no matter what Lin Fubao says, it's useless.

"you say!"

Chen Xiuxiu quickly replied.

Everyone inside the room looked at Lin Fubao.

"Father is dead. If I force myself to come to the city with you, I'll suffer! But my father's pension is my and my siblings' lifeline. You must stay."

"If I remember correctly, since you married my father, you've basically never worked in the past twelve years. If it weren't for my father working at the brigade's clinic, the family wouldn't have been able to survive. My siblings and I were raised by our grandfather before, but he passed away last year, and only then did you take care of us. Twelve years ago, you came to the countryside from the city, empty-handed, to my father's house!"

"If you're going into town today, then leave empty-handed! Keep track of everything you've eaten and drunk over the past twelve years!"

"Finally, I sever all ties with them and vow never to see them again!"

After Lin Fubao finished speaking, he was already sobbing uncontrollably.
