After saying as such, Wei Mingyan followed the old lady into the house, which should only be several years old, with dark walls and neat arrangement. It can be seen that the owner lives here with great care.
As they sat at the table, from the room, a sound of something falling reverberated, followed by a vague cry.
“Ah… ah…”
Said to be a cry, but in fact, it was more like an involuntary grunt. The old lady who was just walking in small steps suddenly picked up speed. She pushed open the door as she spoke in an urgent and worried voice, “Why are you awake? Did you hurt yourself from falling ah?”
“Ah…”
The old man, who had fallen on the ground and couldn’t turn over for a long time, struggled to push his body up with both hands. His eyes were chaotic as he drooled while his hands felt the floor all over. Wei Mingyan even smelled urine as he entered the room.
Apparently, the old man was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
Patients suffering from it are not aware, couldn’t speak, they cannot take care of themselves, and they lack even the simple concept of food.
“Come on, be careful, slowly…”
The old lady was old herself and she didn’t have much strength, but she skillfully lifted her husband who was a head taller than herself. Then, she took out a handkerchief to wipe her husband’s saliva, her movements gentle and practiced. In a few minutes, the old man had been cleaned and well placed on the bed.
“It’s hard to take care of him, isn’t it?”
The man wearing the Daoist robe looked on quietly under the dim light. His voice was very faint, as if all these matters did not bother him.
“You don’t have children, and you have to do everything by yourself. Are you tired of supporting this family alone?”
“Yes, I am tired.”
The old lady gently helped tuck in her husband as tears welled up in her eyes, but her eyes displayed the determination she felt. She replied softly with a trembling voice, “He has taken good care of me all my life and made me happy until now. Now it’s my turn. It’s worth getting tired.”
She looked into her husband’s eyes gently and lovingly, as if she was still the teenage girl looking at her sweetheart. Her hands were nimble as she helped her husband massage his stiff arms.
“We’ve been together for almost 50 years… We agreed to leave the world together. Well, it’s just leaving. But how did it become like this…”
Wei Mingyan stepped into the house, looking at the soul of the old man who had been following the old lady around as he stared at her with sad eyes, and looked at the house again.
It was clean and without any bad luck.
“You two are very kind, and have helped many people during your lifetime.”
“Yes.” The old lady said with a wry smile. “He was a teacher, and he couldn’t bear to see his students suffer hardships. Every time he received his wages, he basically gave away half of it. Even after being retired for so long, students still come to visit us every New Year’s Day.”
“Master!”
She stood up trembling, her voice was hoarse, “Before, you said there were other ways…”
“I beg you to heal him! I have lived with him all my life. He really is a good man, a good man! Shouldn’t good deeds be rewarded…”
“The good deeds he has done over the years are really useful.”
After digging in his wide sleeve, Wei Mingyan pulled out the needle he used in the hospital.
“That car that should have hit him didn’t actually collide with him. However, it did scare his soul out. People have three souls and seven spirits, and if even just one is missing, they would just be like a walking dead.”
“Three souls and seven spirits… Three souls and seven spirits…”
The old lady chanted the sentence with tears in her eyes and cried, “Then, then can you get his soul back? Can you call his soul? Can you call souls over?”
“I can bring his soul back to its rightful place.” The handsome Daoist elder slightly lowered his eyes as his gaze fell on the old man who was already sound asleep on the bed, his voice emotionless.
“Regardless, he would only live for one day more.”
“One day…?”
The old lady’s lips trembled. Her tears could no longer be held back as it fell down her wrinkled cheeks. “Why, why only 1 day…?”
She cried very sadly but tried hard to hold it back. The soul of the old man on the side saw it and held out his hand in a hurry to help her wipe her tears. He opened his mouth to comfort the woman who had been spoiled by himself all her life, but he couldn’t make a sound.
Don’t cry, don’t cry…
It hurts me to see you cry…
“His longevity is such that even if his soul doesn’t return to its place, he will stop breathing at 12:31 p.m. tomorrow.”
Wei Mingyan withdrew his gaze that fell on the old man, his gaze calm, “Now, do you want me to wake him up?”
The old lady clasped her husband’s hand tightly.
Since his accident, everyone told her that he couldn’t wake up from his insanity and had Alzheimer’s, but she didn’t believe it. Didn’t this man agree to protect her for life?
From that day onwards, he became like a child, but he was more difficult to care for than a child. He could get lost if she wasn’t paying attention, and he was saying things that nobody could understand, fiddling with things that nobody could see.
He won’t take her hand for a walk with a smile as before. He won’t go out fishing with a smile and come back to give her fish soup to supplement her body.
For the past 50 years, he had been fetching her foot-washing water. Every time, she asked him if he felt tired, and he laughed and said that as long as he was there, she shouldn’t have to work.
Although he had become like he was now, she tried very hard to take care of him, looking forward to her husband coming to his senses again, anxiously anticipating for the day he would be able to smile at her again.
But why, only one day …?
“Why are you so cruel… Why… So cruel…”
The old woman with a full head of white hair grabbed her husband’s hand and cried nearly to her breaking point, “Didn’t you say that you would always stay with me and take care of me?”
“Liar!”
Don’t cry…
I didn’t mean to leave you like this… I was always here for you…
The old man held out his hand at a loss, but souls couldn’t touch human beings. His eyes were full of anxiety and despair, and they were full of prayers as they looked at the indifferent Daoist priest.
Don’t make her feel so bad…
Tell her I’m always by her side…
Even if I die…
“You, however, still have 5 years and 4 days of life.”
“If you don’t suddenly commit suicide, in another 2 years, you will be sent to the hospital from paralysis, and then you will die after 2 years of pain while lying in a hospital bed.”
“You can choose to transfer your last 2 years of life to your husband.”
His magnetic voice fell into her ears, and Grandma Zhao’s sobs stopped. With misty eyes, she raised her head to stare into the eyes of the handsome man.
This time, although he appeared as solemn as before, his lips were slightly curved upwards, revealing a little smile.
“Borrowed life, ever heard of it?”
The people of An Lu Alley were surprised to find that the person who was judged by the doctors to have Alzheimer’s and would basically never be the same again actually woke up.
The old couple had lived here for a long time. Basically, they both watched all the young people in this alley grow up, and soon someone came to visit them.
Grandma Zhao smiled gratefully and thanked her. Next, another sent a box of milk, and she was about to take it. Seeing her about to move, the tall, thin old man put down the dishcloth that he was wiping the table with, and picked the box up like he was afraid that his wife would be tired.
“I’ll do it, you sit.”
“Grandpa still cares about you so much, I really envy the feelings between you too.”
Granny Zhao smiled and squinted her eyes, “He ah, it’s just his nature.”
On this day, many people came. Most of them were old students who came to visit their teacher, who was now awake. When dusk came, the husband and wife helped each other and went out slowly. Whenever someone met them on the road, they would greet the two.
“Grandpa An, Grandma Zhao, going out for a walk?”
“Yes, going out for a little walk is good for your health.”
As before, the old man walked over and answered with a smile. After leaving, he took out an orange from the bag he had been carrying. He peeled the skin and passed it to his wife. When he saw that Grandma Zhao ate it, he asked as if he was offering a treasure, “Is it sweet?”
“It’s sweet.”
At dusk, the two sat on a bench, and Grandma Zhao leaned her head gently on her husband’s shoulder, watching the crowds come and go.
“After 2 years, let’s leave in the same coffin. Okay?”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
The old man looked at his wife tenderly and held out his hand to help her brush her hair back. “It was hard on you these past few days. Thank you.”
In the sunset, the two elders sitting on the bench were smiling, their shadows connected on the ground.
They will die together at the same time in 2 years.
No one would have guessed, in the original fate, the old man would leave first, and Grandma Zhao would drink pesticide, catching up to him after a day.
Wei Mingyan stood under a willow tree, looking at the two elders with their backs to him from a distance. His lips slightly rose as the smile reached his eyes.

He stretched out his hand and pulled down a willow branch.
“Mom said you can’t pull branches! The trees would get hurt.”
The long and slender fingers holding the branch paused slightly, the man’s gaze moved down and landed on the little girl sitting under the tree who was raising her cute little face to look at him.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
“I’m waiting for my Mom to come and pick me up.” The little girl was very cute, with fair skin and delicate facial features like a little doll. She was wearing a beautiful sky blue dress and a pair of small black leather shoes at her feet. She looks to be taken good care of by her parents.
Wei Mingyan took a willow branch and sat under the tree as well, his long, pale hands weaving through the branches, making a garland of flowers.
The little girl opened her eyes wide in surprise, “Uncle, you’re great.”
“Call me Grandpa.”
Wei Mingyan corrected her as he raised his hand and put a wreath made of willow branches on the little girl’s head.
She was so happy that she reached out and touched it. Her big beautiful eyes were full of excitement. “Is this for me?”
“Is it comfortable to wear?” Wei Mingyan asked.
“It is very comfortable.”
“If it’s comfortable, don’t take it off. It can help you block the sun.”
The little girl thanked him sweetly, “Thank you Uncle. But don’t fold the leaves next time, they will hurt.”
“Leaves don’t get hurt, people get hurt.”
“Call me Grandpa, understand?”
Looking at the innocent and lovely little girl, the handsome Daoist priest showed a gentle smile for the first time. He held out his hand and gently pinched the little girl’s tender little face. When he saw that she kept her eyes open, he whispered, “Grandpa will take you to your mother, okay?”
“Okay.” The little girl just crisply agreed, but thought of something. Her face showed hesitation.
“But my Mom said I can’t follow strangers.”
“It’s Mom who told Grandpa to come and get you.” The Daoist priest then asked in a gentle voice, “Your name is Qiuqiu isn’t it? You have been away from your mother for too long, and she misses you.”
Suspicion crept onto the little girl’s lovely face. “I, I just waited for a little while…”
“Let’s go, you should go home.”
Wei Mingyan took the little girl’s hand and glanced at the two elders who were close together in the sunset from a distance before leaving at a slow pace.
“Excuse me, have you seen my daughter? She’s about yay tall, wearing a blue skirt and two pigtails? This is her photo…”
“Excuse me, have you seen a little girl? This tall, wearing a blue dress …”
The gaunt woman stood at the corner with red eyes, and when she saw someone coming, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked them to look at the leaflet in her hand.
Her face was as white as paper, her eyes were bruised, and it was clear that she hadn’t rested properly for a long time. Even when she walked, her footsteps were wobbly, but even so, she tried hard to reach every passerby.
People passed by in a hurry, not even looking at the photo in her hand and waved her hand away. When someone saw it and took it, “I’ll keep an eye on it for you, and call you if I see her.”
“Thank you, thank you…”
The woman kept bowing and thanking with gratitude. With hope, she gave the man the ‘missing person’ picture in her hand.
She had been standing here for a whole day, her body deeply tanned from the long time she spent underneath the hot sun. Just now, she was so excited to thank him, her head hurt from shaking.
After shaking her body, she looked at the road that had seemed to be deserted for an instant, and was about to change roads and continue to search when suddenly, a pair of black shoes stopped in front of her.
The woman was confused as she slowly raised her head. Her eyes followed the long Daoist robe upward to the handsome face of the Daoist master in front of her.
She subconsciously handed the leaflet in her hand. “Excuse me, have you ever seen a little girl…”
Wei Mingyan took the leaflet.
[Qiu Qiuqiu, seven years old, missing time…]
She has been missing for 3 days.
“Mom!!”
The little girl who followed her happily rushed in front of her mother, pulling her hand as before. “Where have you been, Mom? I have been waiting for a long time…”
She wanted to hold her mother’s hand with happiness and a little complaint, but her tender little hand seemed to touch the air and passed through her mother’s hand.
“Mom?”
The little girl looked at her hand in confusion, then at her mother’s hand, and reluctantly tried to reach out again.
All that happened was her hand passing through again and again.
“Why? Why can’t I touch Mom?… Mom, Mom, look at me…!”
“Qiuqiu is calling you. Mom…”
The woman was completely unaware that her daughter was calling her in fear. She looked at the Daoist priest whose expression seemed to be thoughtful, and her eyes showed hope.
She asked cautiously and hopefully, “Have you… Have you seen my daughter?”
“She has been missing for 3 days. She was wearing a blue skirt… This is, this is her photo…”
“Mom, what are you talking about? I’m right here…”
The little girl was afraid and felt wronged. She couldn’t help but choke and cry. She wanted to pull her mother’s clothes to seek comfort while crying. When she passed through again, her tears suddenly became even more fierce.
“Don’t cry.”
Wei Mingyan crouched down and helped her straighten the crown made of willow branches gently. He coaxed softly, “It’s not good for you to cry too much.”
“Mom… Mom can’t see me, Mom is ignoring me… Uncle, let Mom see me…”
He wasn’t good at coaxing little girls, so the little girl cried even harder.
The woman’s face turned white, looking at the strange scene in front of her. The man was half-crouched down, looking forward, with a helpless expression on his face.
His tone of voice was very slow, gently and slowly, but it was full of lingering charm that she didn’t understand. “Qiuqiu is obedient. Be a good girl, and your mother will be able to see you.”
The woman looked at the direction the handsome Daoist priest was talking to, but there was nothing but air.
She shouldn’t believe it.
It must be fake.
She tried to convince herself, but her eyes still instantly burst into tears. Although she couldn’t believe it in her heart, her intuition told her.
There, that’s her daughter…
“Qiuqiu, is it my Qiuqiu…?”
She widened her bloodshot eyes, shook her hands, and touched the air.
“Mom!!”
The little girl thought that her mother could really see herself. With tears still hanging on her face, she smiled happily and threw herself into her mother’s arms.
Clearly the child was invisible to her mother, but from Wei Mingyan’s perspective, she held her daughter in her arms.
He lowered his eyes slightly and let out an inaudible sigh.
“Madam Liu, your daughter died in a car accident 3 days ago.”
“No, it can’t be…”
The woman’s eyes were bloodshot, desperately holding the posture of holding her daughter, mumbling, “Qiuqiu is only 7 years old. She just went to elementary school, but will also go to middle school, high school and college…”
“She won’t die, she would never die…”
“Mom?” The little girl looked at her mother anxiously and looked up in disbelief. Her eyes, which had just cried, were still red. She whispered, “Am I dead?”
“Come, Qiuqiu, come here.”
She was puzzled when she suddenly heard the strange Uncle’s voice. She subconsciously broke away from her mother’s arms and walked past.
“No!!! Qiuqiu!!”
Obviously, she couldn’t see anything, but the woman seemed to have felt it. She cried out her daughter’s name like crazy. “Come to mom, come to mom…”
“You aren’t dead. You aren’t dead! You are still alive! I know, I know my daughter is still alive…”
She said so. But still, the memories of these days came flooding back into her mind.
3 days ago, as before, she picked up her daughter after school and worked in the supermarket.
Her daughter obediently did her homework near the entrance, when the eraser rolled out the door. She said, “Mom, my eraser fell out.”
She was sorting out the shelves, and casually replied, “Just pick it up.”
It was that sentence. Qiuqiu went out of the door and was killed by a sudden speeding car.
She lost her daughter because of her words.
The woman can’t accept that she killed her daughter. She forced herself to forget the fact that her daughter had passed away, printed ‘missing person’ pictures and searched the streets.
She would rather her daughter be missing.
She didn’t want her to die!!
She knelt on the ground, like a sinner, with her head heavily on the ground, and cried out to the strange Daoist priest in front of her, “Please give me back my daughter, give her back to me…”
“It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t asked her to pick her eraser up, she wouldn’t have had an accident. I know I was wrong. Take my life and let my daughter come back. Please…”
“It’s not your fault.”
The gentle magnetic voice sounded faintly, but it reverberated into her ears clearly.
“There shouldn’t have been a car there, but the driver who hit Qiuqiu was drunk.”
The woman raised her head with tears on her face, and a pair of long hands held her arm and slowly lifted her up.
“You are not at fault, and your daughter doesn’t blame you.”
Wei Mingyan looked at the woman and said word for word, “She has been looking for you, but she is too young to find her way home.”
“Now, I’ll give her back to you.”
He patted the little girl beside him on the shoulder and motioned her over.
The woman first stared at the person in front of her with a face full of pain. Then, she suddenly laughed, smiled and laughed, and tears fell.
There was a small pair of hands that carefully pulled her in.
“Qiuqiu, is that you…?” She asked.
A small immature voice sounded, “Mom …”
In an instant, the woman was in tears.
“Qiuqiu also wants to continue being your child.”
Looking at the little girl who carefully pressed her face into her mother’s arms, Wei Mingyan reached out and touched her head.
“You are pregnant now, and the child hasn’t grown hands and feet. Let’s take this opportunity, and have Qiuqiu live in your stomach and be reborn with the help of her brother. 8 months from now, you will give birth to a pair of male and female twins.”
The woman didn’t know she was pregnant, but she immediately believed the words from the man in front of her. She put her trembling hand on her abdomen. “Qiuqiu, can Qiuqiu come back?”
“She will be resurrected with the help of her younger brother. Her body and soul are very fragile. No matter what happens in these 8 months, you must keep a calm mind and get enough sleep. Supplementary nutrition cannot be ignored.”
Listening to the instructions of the Daoist master in front of her, the woman nodded desperately as if she had been given some task that had to be completed, “I, I remember, I will take good care of my body.”
The handsome man showed a smile. He took the little girl’s hand and slowly and gently put it on the woman’s flat belly.
“Qiuqiu, there’s a younger brother living here. He is very lonely. Go in and live with him, and then come out to see your mother in 8 months, okay?”
The little girl in a beautiful blue skirt looked at her mother’s stomach curiously, and raised her little face to look at her mother with tears on her face.
Wei Mingyan let go slowly, and the woman could feel that there was a little hand touching her lower abdomen.
She silently shed tears and choked her voice, “Qiuqiu, will you continue to be Mom’s child?”
“Mom swears that this time, she will protect you well.”
“Mom, I like Mom the most!”
She heard her daughter’s sweet voice.
The touch on the belly disappeared, replaced by a momentary flow of warmth within her lower abdomen for an instant.
The woman closes her eyes and covers her lower abdomen tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid that her daughter would come out again. She cried.
Her treasure… Finally, she came back.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you…”
Looking at the woman who kept bowing, the handsome man in Daoist robes raised his eyebrows slightly. “You remember, these 8 months are the last chance for Qiuqiu to be reborn. Your body is her dependence, so you must not let this body have any mishaps.”
The woman was in tears, but unlike the previous days when her heart was ashen, she nodded, her face full of hope.
She must protect herself and her children.

“The little girl is so cute… She can open her eyes the day after she was born.”
The pregnant woman with a big belly stood in front of the bed with love in her eyes, carefully touching the baby who was looking at her with its dark eyes, enviously saying, “If only I had a daughter, too. I would buy her so many beautiful clothes.”
Qian Miao smiled and replied, “Didn’t you want a gentlemanly little boy yesterday?”
“Little boys are too naughty. A little girl is good, and I can dress her beautifully. When she grows up, we can also go shopping together.”
“Qiqi, little Qiqi…”
The more she looked at her, the more she liked the baby who looked around with her black eyes open. She couldn’t wait to have a daughter soon.
The door opened, and Fu Yunyun, who was off work, came in.
“Come on, let me see if Xiao Qiqi has grown up a little.”
Qian Miao helplessly looked at her friend who was so out of character. “You’re confused. Didn’t you just see her at noon?”
“Children are all the same, but they grow up every day. What’s more, our Qiqi is so cute. Hey, come on, let Aunty touch your little hands.”
After teasing the baby for a while, Fu Yunyun sneaked a look at the other pregnant woman who had sat back in her bed, and quietly squeezed in next to her best friend.
“Miaomiao, can you put in a good word for me with your father-in-law. Ask him to calculate my future too?” She squirmed a little in a rare moment of shyness and said, “It’s just… I want to calculate my marriage…”
Qian Miao was somewhat embarrassed. She had always had a bad relationship with her father-in-law. To be honest, if she hadn’t given birth to her daughter yesterday, Qian Miao would still feel that her father-in-law was a charlatan.
“If he comes, I’ll ask for you. My father-in-law has a strange temper. Don’t expect too much.”
“That’s okay, that’s okay… Masters are like that, I know, I know!!”
As Fu Yunyun was talking, the door of the ward opened again.
The man in the Daoist robe walked in slowly and methodically with a rattling sound coming from his hand.
Fu Yunyun, who was just looking forward to it, looked at the handsome face in front of her. Seeing this man, who didn’t even look like he was 45 years old, appear so suddenly, she almost immediately wimped out.
Silently, she stood behind and made room for Wei Mingyan.
“Where’s my stupid son?”
Qian Miao suddenly felt nervous when she saw her father-in-law. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed the Bagua mirror hanging around her neck and stammered, “He went downstairs to buy rice.”
“Give him a call. I haven’t eaten yet.”
“Eh, okay, I’ll call him now.”
In the face of this really capable father-in-law, Qian Miao didn’t dare to neglect him. She took her mobile phone beside the pillow and called her husband.
When she called, Wei Mingyan stood by the bed and teased his granddaughter with a rattle.
The baby was still small, so of course, she wasn’t responsive. He didn’t mind, and took the rattle to tease and play with her. The corners of his lips even slightly lifted.
The difference in attitude between the treatment of his daughter-in-law and his granddaughter amazed Fu Yunyun and the pregnant woman sitting on the bed in the ward.
Just when they were thinking about whether Qian Miao had a bad relationship with her father-in-law, Wei Jin, who was sweating profusely, came back with their meal.
He smiled at his father as soon as he entered the door. “Dad, you came over to see us.”
Wei Mingyan eyelids drooped, and faintly said, “What do you have to see? I’m here to see my granddaughter. My meal?”
“Eh, here it is, here it is. Miaomiao could only eat something light now, so I bought everyone porridge.”
Wei Jin had long been accustomed to his father’s demeanor, so it didn’t bother him. He unpacked the bag and began to take some food out.
When a bowl of porridge was properly handed in front of him, the handsome man in the Daoist robe glanced at it and said, “You eat this bowl.”
“Oh, okay Da. Then, you eat this. Come, Miaomiao, I’ll feed you.”
Wei Jin picked up the bowl of porridge that his father had just refused, and prepared to feed his wife who had just delivered a baby.
“Qian Miao can’t eat this.”
Wei Mingyan blew on his bowl, took a sip with his eyes closed, squinted with satisfaction before taking another sip.
Qian Miao, who has been quiet as a quail since just now, didn’t dare to move and closed her open mouth, refusing to eat.
After yesterday’s fortune telling by Wei Mingyan, if her father-in-law says she can’t eat today, she will certainly listen.
What’s more, she didn’t want a bloodbath or some kind!
“Why? Is this bowl of porridge bad?”
Wei Jin also thought of this, and hurriedly put down this bowl of porridge, afraid to feed it to her again.
“It’s nothing, there’s a bug in there.”
Wei Mingyan took another sip of porridge, and looked bland as if he was talking about a very normal thing, “You have thick skin and thick flesh, eating a bug is fine. Qian Miao would throw up after eating it.”
“How is that possible? I watched them fill this porridge with my own eyes. How can there be a bug…?”
Knowing that it wasn’t a bloodbath, Wei Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and while talking, he took a spoon to stir the bowl.
He still trusted his eyes more… Bugs???
Wei Jin silently put down this bowl of porridge and picked up another bowl.
But in the end, he was aggrieved, “Dad, you wouldn’t eat bugs, but how come you would give them to me?”
Wei Mingyan had already finished the porridge in his hand. He put the bowl down with a breezy look on his face, “And… Have you eaten it?”
Wei Jin, “… No. But Dad, this porridge was also cooked in the same pot …”
“That bug of yours fell into the bowl when it was served up.”
The handsome man glanced at his son with nothing more than a ‘As my son, how can you be so stupid?’ kind of look.
Wei Jin was speechless.
Fu Yunyun, who watched the whole thing, had long turned silly.
Just now, that bowl of porridge was always held by Wei Jin.
The porridge looked clean, but the man didn’t touch it at all. Yet, he knew there were bugs in it.
What was a master? This is a master!!
She was so excited that she couldn’t care less about being a coward, and carefully came over, “Excuse me, hello Uncle. I’m Miaomiao’s colleague, it’s just that… I want you to do a calculation… If you don’t mind, name your price. I won’t haggle.”
Wei Mingyan stood up with his little granddaughter in his arms and patted the sleeping baby with his slender hands as he looked at Fu Yunyun’s face before setting his eyes on his little granddaughter.
“You don’t have to pay.”
Fu Yunyun was happy, can this be because of being a best friend? Sure enough, it was always better to have some connections.
She also wanted to offer money a few times, but the handsome man in Daoist robes faintly uttered, “I won’t accept money to tell the fortunes of people who would suffer a bloody misfortune.”
Yes, he has always had such principles.

After saying as such, Wei Mingyan followed the old lady into the house, which should only be several years old, with dark walls and neat arrangement. It can be seen that the owner lives here with great care.
As they sat at the table, from the room, a sound of something falling reverberated, followed by a vague cry.
“Ah… ah…”
Said to be a cry, but in fact, it was more like an involuntary grunt. The old lady who was just walking in small steps suddenly picked up speed. She pushed open the door as she spoke in an urgent and worried voice, “Why are you awake? Did you hurt yourself from falling ah?”
“Ah…”
The old man, who had fallen on the ground and couldn’t turn over for a long time, struggled to push his body up with both hands. His eyes were chaotic as he drooled while his hands felt the floor all over. Wei Mingyan even smelled urine as he entered the room.
Apparently, the old man was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
Patients suffering from it are not aware, couldn’t speak, they cannot take care of themselves, and they lack even the simple concept of food.
“Come on, be careful, slowly…”
The old lady was old herself and she didn’t have much strength, but she skillfully lifted her husband who was a head taller than herself. Then, she took out a handkerchief to wipe her husband’s saliva, her movements gentle and practiced. In a few minutes, the old man had been cleaned and well placed on the bed.
“It’s hard to take care of him, isn’t it?”
The man wearing the Daoist robe looked on quietly under the dim light. His voice was very faint, as if all these matters did not bother him.
“You don’t have children, and you have to do everything by yourself. Are you tired of supporting this family alone?”
“Yes, I am tired.”
The old lady gently helped tuck in her husband as tears welled up in her eyes, but her eyes displayed the determination she felt. She replied softly with a trembling voice, “He has taken good care of me all my life and made me happy until now. Now it’s my turn. It’s worth getting tired.”
She looked into her husband’s eyes gently and lovingly, as if she was still the teenage girl looking at her sweetheart. Her hands were nimble as she helped her husband massage his stiff arms.
“We’ve been together for almost 50 years… We agreed to leave the world together. Well, it’s just leaving. But how did it become like this…”
Wei Mingyan stepped into the house, looking at the soul of the old man who had been following the old lady around as he stared at her with sad eyes, and looked at the house again.
It was clean and without any bad luck.
“You two are very kind, and have helped many people during your lifetime.”
“Yes.” The old lady said with a wry smile. “He was a teacher, and he couldn’t bear to see his students suffer hardships. Every time he received his wages, he basically gave away half of it. Even after being retired for so long, students still come to visit us every New Year’s Day.”
“Master!”
She stood up trembling, her voice was hoarse, “Before, you said there were other ways…”
“I beg you to heal him! I have lived with him all my life. He really is a good man, a good man! Shouldn’t good deeds be rewarded…”
“The good deeds he has done over the years are really useful.”
After digging in his wide sleeve, Wei Mingyan pulled out the needle he used in the hospital.
“That car that should have hit him didn’t actually collide with him. However, it did scare his soul out. People have three souls and seven spirits, and if even just one is missing, they would just be like a walking dead.”
“Three souls and seven spirits… Three souls and seven spirits…”
The old lady chanted the sentence with tears in her eyes and cried, “Then, then can you get his soul back? Can you call his soul? Can you call souls over?”
“I can bring his soul back to its rightful place.” The handsome Daoist elder slightly lowered his eyes as his gaze fell on the old man who was already sound asleep on the bed, his voice emotionless.
“Regardless, he would only live for one day more.”
“One day…?”
The old lady’s lips trembled. Her tears could no longer be held back as it fell down her wrinkled cheeks. “Why, why only 1 day…?”
She cried very sadly but tried hard to hold it back. The soul of the old man on the side saw it and held out his hand in a hurry to help her wipe her tears. He opened his mouth to comfort the woman who had been spoiled by himself all her life, but he couldn’t make a sound.
Don’t cry, don’t cry…
It hurts me to see you cry…
“His longevity is such that even if his soul doesn’t return to its place, he will stop breathing at 12:31 p.m. tomorrow.”
Wei Mingyan withdrew his gaze that fell on the old man, his gaze calm, “Now, do you want me to wake him up?”
The old lady clasped her husband’s hand tightly.
Since his accident, everyone told her that he couldn’t wake up from his insanity and had Alzheimer’s, but she didn’t believe it. Didn’t this man agree to protect her for life?
From that day onwards, he became like a child, but he was more difficult to care for than a child. He could get lost if she wasn’t paying attention, and he was saying things that nobody could understand, fiddling with things that nobody could see.
He won’t take her hand for a walk with a smile as before. He won’t go out fishing with a smile and come back to give her fish soup to supplement her body.
For the past 50 years, he had been fetching her foot-washing water. Every time, she asked him if he felt tired, and he laughed and said that as long as he was there, she shouldn’t have to work.
Although he had become like he was now, she tried very hard to take care of him, looking forward to her husband coming to his senses again, anxiously anticipating for the day he would be able to smile at her again.
But why, only one day …?
“Why are you so cruel… Why… So cruel…”
The old woman with a full head of white hair grabbed her husband’s hand and cried nearly to her breaking point, “Didn’t you say that you would always stay with me and take care of me?”
“Liar!”
Don’t cry…
I didn’t mean to leave you like this… I was always here for you…
The old man held out his hand at a loss, but souls couldn’t touch human beings. His eyes were full of anxiety and despair, and they were full of prayers as they looked at the indifferent Daoist priest.
Don’t make her feel so bad…
Tell her I’m always by her side…
Even if I die…
“You, however, still have 5 years and 4 days of life.”
“If you don’t suddenly commit suicide, in another 2 years, you will be sent to the hospital from paralysis, and then you will die after 2 years of pain while lying in a hospital bed.”
“You can choose to transfer your last 2 years of life to your husband.”
His magnetic voice fell into her ears, and Grandma Zhao’s sobs stopped. With misty eyes, she raised her head to stare into the eyes of the handsome man.
This time, although he appeared as solemn as before, his lips were slightly curved upwards, revealing a little smile.
“Borrowed life, ever heard of it?”
The people of An Lu Alley were surprised to find that the person who was judged by the doctors to have Alzheimer’s and would basically never be the same again actually woke up.
The old couple had lived here for a long time. Basically, they both watched all the young people in this alley grow up, and soon someone came to visit them.
Grandma Zhao smiled gratefully and thanked her. Next, another sent a box of milk, and she was about to take it. Seeing her about to move, the tall, thin old man put down the dishcloth that he was wiping the table with, and picked the box up like he was afraid that his wife would be tired.
“I’ll do it, you sit.”
“Grandpa still cares about you so much, I really envy the feelings between you too.”
Granny Zhao smiled and squinted her eyes, “He ah, it’s just his nature.”
On this day, many people came. Most of them were old students who came to visit their teacher, who was now awake. When dusk came, the husband and wife helped each other and went out slowly. Whenever someone met them on the road, they would greet the two.
“Grandpa An, Grandma Zhao, going out for a walk?”
“Yes, going out for a little walk is good for your health.”
As before, the old man walked over and answered with a smile. After leaving, he took out an orange from the bag he had been carrying. He peeled the skin and passed it to his wife. When he saw that Grandma Zhao ate it, he asked as if he was offering a treasure, “Is it sweet?”
“It’s sweet.”
At dusk, the two sat on a bench, and Grandma Zhao leaned her head gently on her husband’s shoulder, watching the crowds come and go.
“After 2 years, let’s leave in the same coffin. Okay?”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
The old man looked at his wife tenderly and held out his hand to help her brush her hair back. “It was hard on you these past few days. Thank you.”
In the sunset, the two elders sitting on the bench were smiling, their shadows connected on the ground.
They will die together at the same time in 2 years.
No one would have guessed, in the original fate, the old man would leave first, and Grandma Zhao would drink pesticide, catching up to him after a day.
Wei Mingyan stood under a willow tree, looking at the two elders with their backs to him from a distance. His lips slightly rose as the smile reached his eyes.

He stretched out his hand and pulled down a willow branch.
“Mom said you can’t pull branches! The trees would get hurt.”
The long and slender fingers holding the branch paused slightly, the man’s gaze moved down and landed on the little girl sitting under the tree who was raising her cute little face to look at him.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
“I’m waiting for my Mom to come and pick me up.” The little girl was very cute, with fair skin and delicate facial features like a little doll. She was wearing a beautiful sky blue dress and a pair of small black leather shoes at her feet. She looks to be taken good care of by her parents.
Wei Mingyan took a willow branch and sat under the tree as well, his long, pale hands weaving through the branches, making a garland of flowers.
The little girl opened her eyes wide in surprise, “Uncle, you’re great.”
“Call me Grandpa.”
Wei Mingyan corrected her as he raised his hand and put a wreath made of willow branches on the little girl’s head.
She was so happy that she reached out and touched it. Her big beautiful eyes were full of excitement. “Is this for me?”
“Is it comfortable to wear?” Wei Mingyan asked.
“It is very comfortable.”
“If it’s comfortable, don’t take it off. It can help you block the sun.”
The little girl thanked him sweetly, “Thank you Uncle. But don’t fold the leaves next time, they will hurt.”
“Leaves don’t get hurt, people get hurt.”
“Call me Grandpa, understand?”
Looking at the innocent and lovely little girl, the handsome Daoist priest showed a gentle smile for the first time. He held out his hand and gently pinched the little girl’s tender little face. When he saw that she kept her eyes open, he whispered, “Grandpa will take you to your mother, okay?”
“Okay.” The little girl just crisply agreed, but thought of something. Her face showed hesitation.
“But my Mom said I can’t follow strangers.”
“It’s Mom who told Grandpa to come and get you.” The Daoist priest then asked in a gentle voice, “Your name is Qiuqiu isn’t it? You have been away from your mother for too long, and she misses you.”
Suspicion crept onto the little girl’s lovely face. “I, I just waited for a little while…”
“Let’s go, you should go home.”
Wei Mingyan took the little girl’s hand and glanced at the two elders who were close together in the sunset from a distance before leaving at a slow pace.
“Excuse me, have you seen my daughter? She’s about yay tall, wearing a blue skirt and two pigtails? This is her photo…”
“Excuse me, have you seen a little girl? This tall, wearing a blue dress …”
The gaunt woman stood at the corner with red eyes, and when she saw someone coming, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked them to look at the leaflet in her hand.
Her face was as white as paper, her eyes were bruised, and it was clear that she hadn’t rested properly for a long time. Even when she walked, her footsteps were wobbly, but even so, she tried hard to reach every passerby.
People passed by in a hurry, not even looking at the photo in her hand and waved her hand away. When someone saw it and took it, “I’ll keep an eye on it for you, and call you if I see her.”
“Thank you, thank you…”
The woman kept bowing and thanking with gratitude. With hope, she gave the man the ‘missing person’ picture in her hand.
She had been standing here for a whole day, her body deeply tanned from the long time she spent underneath the hot sun. Just now, she was so excited to thank him, her head hurt from shaking.
After shaking her body, she looked at the road that had seemed to be deserted for an instant, and was about to change roads and continue to search when suddenly, a pair of black shoes stopped in front of her.
The woman was confused as she slowly raised her head. Her eyes followed the long Daoist robe upward to the handsome face of the Daoist master in front of her.
She subconsciously handed the leaflet in her hand. “Excuse me, have you ever seen a little girl…”
Wei Mingyan took the leaflet.
[Qiu Qiuqiu, seven years old, missing time…]
She has been missing for 3 days.
“Mom!!”
The little girl who followed her happily rushed in front of her mother, pulling her hand as before. “Where have you been, Mom? I have been waiting for a long time…”
She wanted to hold her mother’s hand with happiness and a little complaint, but her tender little hand seemed to touch the air and passed through her mother’s hand.
“Mom?”
The little girl looked at her hand in confusion, then at her mother’s hand, and reluctantly tried to reach out again.
All that happened was her hand passing through again and again.
“Why? Why can’t I touch Mom?… Mom, Mom, look at me…!”
“Qiuqiu is calling you. Mom…”
The woman was completely unaware that her daughter was calling her in fear. She looked at the Daoist priest whose expression seemed to be thoughtful, and her eyes showed hope.
She asked cautiously and hopefully, “Have you… Have you seen my daughter?”
“She has been missing for 3 days. She was wearing a blue skirt… This is, this is her photo…”
“Mom, what are you talking about? I’m right here…”
The little girl was afraid and felt wronged. She couldn’t help but choke and cry. She wanted to pull her mother’s clothes to seek comfort while crying. When she passed through again, her tears suddenly became even more fierce.
“Don’t cry.”
Wei Mingyan crouched down and helped her straighten the crown made of willow branches gently. He coaxed softly, “It’s not good for you to cry too much.”
“Mom… Mom can’t see me, Mom is ignoring me… Uncle, let Mom see me…”
He wasn’t good at coaxing little girls, so the little girl cried even harder.
The woman’s face turned white, looking at the strange scene in front of her. The man was half-crouched down, looking forward, with a helpless expression on his face.
His tone of voice was very slow, gently and slowly, but it was full of lingering charm that she didn’t understand. “Qiuqiu is obedient. Be a good girl, and your mother will be able to see you.”
The woman looked at the direction the handsome Daoist priest was talking to, but there was nothing but air.
She shouldn’t believe it.
It must be fake.
She tried to convince herself, but her eyes still instantly burst into tears. Although she couldn’t believe it in her heart, her intuition told her.
There, that’s her daughter…
“Qiuqiu, is it my Qiuqiu…?”
She widened her bloodshot eyes, shook her hands, and touched the air.
“Mom!!”
The little girl thought that her mother could really see herself. With tears still hanging on her face, she smiled happily and threw herself into her mother’s arms.
Clearly the child was invisible to her mother, but from Wei Mingyan’s perspective, she held her daughter in her arms.
He lowered his eyes slightly and let out an inaudible sigh.
“Madam Liu, your daughter died in a car accident 3 days ago.”
“No, it can’t be…”
The woman’s eyes were bloodshot, desperately holding the posture of holding her daughter, mumbling, “Qiuqiu is only 7 years old. She just went to elementary school, but will also go to middle school, high school and college…”
“She won’t die, she would never die…”
“Mom?” The little girl looked at her mother anxiously and looked up in disbelief. Her eyes, which had just cried, were still red. She whispered, “Am I dead?”
“Come, Qiuqiu, come here.”
She was puzzled when she suddenly heard the strange Uncle’s voice. She subconsciously broke away from her mother’s arms and walked past.
“No!!! Qiuqiu!!”
Obviously, she couldn’t see anything, but the woman seemed to have felt it. She cried out her daughter’s name like crazy. “Come to mom, come to mom…”
“You aren’t dead. You aren’t dead! You are still alive! I know, I know my daughter is still alive…”
She said so. But still, the memories of these days came flooding back into her mind.
3 days ago, as before, she picked up her daughter after school and worked in the supermarket.
Her daughter obediently did her homework near the entrance, when the eraser rolled out the door. She said, “Mom, my eraser fell out.”
She was sorting out the shelves, and casually replied, “Just pick it up.”
It was that sentence. Qiuqiu went out of the door and was killed by a sudden speeding car.
She lost her daughter because of her words.
The woman can’t accept that she killed her daughter. She forced herself to forget the fact that her daughter had passed away, printed ‘missing person’ pictures and searched the streets.
She would rather her daughter be missing.
She didn’t want her to die!!
She knelt on the ground, like a sinner, with her head heavily on the ground, and cried out to the strange Daoist priest in front of her, “Please give me back my daughter, give her back to me…”
“It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t asked her to pick her eraser up, she wouldn’t have had an accident. I know I was wrong. Take my life and let my daughter come back. Please…”
“It’s not your fault.”
The gentle magnetic voice sounded faintly, but it reverberated into her ears clearly.
“There shouldn’t have been a car there, but the driver who hit Qiuqiu was drunk.”
The woman raised her head with tears on her face, and a pair of long hands held her arm and slowly lifted her up.
“You are not at fault, and your daughter doesn’t blame you.”
Wei Mingyan looked at the woman and said word for word, “She has been looking for you, but she is too young to find her way home.”
“Now, I’ll give her back to you.”
He patted the little girl beside him on the shoulder and motioned her over.
The woman first stared at the person in front of her with a face full of pain. Then, she suddenly laughed, smiled and laughed, and tears fell.
There was a small pair of hands that carefully pulled her in.
“Qiuqiu, is that you…?” She asked.
A small immature voice sounded, “Mom …”
In an instant, the woman was in tears.
“Qiuqiu also wants to continue being your child.”
Looking at the little girl who carefully pressed her face into her mother’s arms, Wei Mingyan reached out and touched her head.
“You are pregnant now, and the child hasn’t grown hands and feet. Let’s take this opportunity, and have Qiuqiu live in your stomach and be reborn with the help of her brother. 8 months from now, you will give birth to a pair of male and female twins.”
The woman didn’t know she was pregnant, but she immediately believed the words from the man in front of her. She put her trembling hand on her abdomen. “Qiuqiu, can Qiuqiu come back?”
“She will be resurrected with the help of her younger brother. Her body and soul are very fragile. No matter what happens in these 8 months, you must keep a calm mind and get enough sleep. Supplementary nutrition cannot be ignored.”
Listening to the instructions of the Daoist master in front of her, the woman nodded desperately as if she had been given some task that had to be completed, “I, I remember, I will take good care of my body.”
The handsome man showed a smile. He took the little girl’s hand and slowly and gently put it on the woman’s flat belly.
“Qiuqiu, there’s a younger brother living here. He is very lonely. Go in and live with him, and then come out to see your mother in 8 months, okay?”
The little girl in a beautiful blue skirt looked at her mother’s stomach curiously, and raised her little face to look at her mother with tears on her face.
Wei Mingyan let go slowly, and the woman could feel that there was a little hand touching her lower abdomen.
She silently shed tears and choked her voice, “Qiuqiu, will you continue to be Mom’s child?”
“Mom swears that this time, she will protect you well.”
“Mom, I like Mom the most!”
She heard her daughter’s sweet voice.
The touch on the belly disappeared, replaced by a momentary flow of warmth within her lower abdomen for an instant.
The woman closes her eyes and covers her lower abdomen tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid that her daughter would come out again. She cried.
Her treasure… Finally, she came back.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you…”
Looking at the woman who kept bowing, the handsome man in Daoist robes raised his eyebrows slightly. “You remember, these 8 months are the last chance for Qiuqiu to be reborn. Your body is her dependence, so you must not let this body have any mishaps.”
The woman was in tears, but unlike the previous days when her heart was ashen, she nodded, her face full of hope.
She must protect herself and her children.

“The little girl is so cute… She can open her eyes the day after she was born.”
The pregnant woman with a big belly stood in front of the bed with love in her eyes, carefully touching the baby who was looking at her with its dark eyes, enviously saying, “If only I had a daughter, too. I would buy her so many beautiful clothes.”
Qian Miao smiled and replied, “Didn’t you want a gentlemanly little boy yesterday?”
“Little boys are too naughty. A little girl is good, and I can dress her beautifully. When she grows up, we can also go shopping together.”
“Qiqi, little Qiqi…”
The more she looked at her, the more she liked the baby who looked around with her black eyes open. She couldn’t wait to have a daughter soon.
The door opened, and Fu Yunyun, who was off work, came in.
“Come on, let me see if Xiao Qiqi has grown up a little.”
Qian Miao helplessly looked at her friend who was so out of character. “You’re confused. Didn’t you just see her at noon?”
“Children are all the same, but they grow up every day. What’s more, our Qiqi is so cute. Hey, come on, let Aunty touch your little hands.”
After teasing the baby for a while, Fu Yunyun sneaked a look at the other pregnant woman who had sat back in her bed, and quietly squeezed in next to her best friend.
“Miaomiao, can you put in a good word for me with your father-in-law. Ask him to calculate my future too?” She squirmed a little in a rare moment of shyness and said, “It’s just… I want to calculate my marriage…”
Qian Miao was somewhat embarrassed. She had always had a bad relationship with her father-in-law. To be honest, if she hadn’t given birth to her daughter yesterday, Qian Miao would still feel that her father-in-law was a charlatan.
“If he comes, I’ll ask for you. My father-in-law has a strange temper. Don’t expect too much.”
“That’s okay, that’s okay… Masters are like that, I know, I know!!”
As Fu Yunyun was talking, the door of the ward opened again.
The man in the Daoist robe walked in slowly and methodically with a rattling sound coming from his hand.
Fu Yunyun, who was just looking forward to it, looked at the handsome face in front of her. Seeing this man, who didn’t even look like he was 45 years old, appear so suddenly, she almost immediately wimped out.
Silently, she stood behind and made room for Wei Mingyan.
“Where’s my stupid son?”
Qian Miao suddenly felt nervous when she saw her father-in-law. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed the Bagua mirror hanging around her neck and stammered, “He went downstairs to buy rice.”
“Give him a call. I haven’t eaten yet.”
“Eh, okay, I’ll call him now.”
In the face of this really capable father-in-law, Qian Miao didn’t dare to neglect him. She took her mobile phone beside the pillow and called her husband.
When she called, Wei Mingyan stood by the bed and teased his granddaughter with a rattle.
The baby was still small, so of course, she wasn’t responsive. He didn’t mind, and took the rattle to tease and play with her. The corners of his lips even slightly lifted.
The difference in attitude between the treatment of his daughter-in-law and his granddaughter amazed Fu Yunyun and the pregnant woman sitting on the bed in the ward.
Just when they were thinking about whether Qian Miao had a bad relationship with her father-in-law, Wei Jin, who was sweating profusely, came back with their meal.
He smiled at his father as soon as he entered the door. “Dad, you came over to see us.”
Wei Mingyan eyelids drooped, and faintly said, “What do you have to see? I’m here to see my granddaughter. My meal?”
“Eh, here it is, here it is. Miaomiao could only eat something light now, so I bought everyone porridge.”
Wei Jin had long been accustomed to his father’s demeanor, so it didn’t bother him. He unpacked the bag and began to take some food out.
When a bowl of porridge was properly handed in front of him, the handsome man in the Daoist robe glanced at it and said, “You eat this bowl.”
“Oh, okay Da. Then, you eat this. Come, Miaomiao, I’ll feed you.”
Wei Jin picked up the bowl of porridge that his father had just refused, and prepared to feed his wife who had just delivered a baby.
“Qian Miao can’t eat this.”
Wei Mingyan blew on his bowl, took a sip with his eyes closed, squinted with satisfaction before taking another sip.
Qian Miao, who has been quiet as a quail since just now, didn’t dare to move and closed her open mouth, refusing to eat.
After yesterday’s fortune telling by Wei Mingyan, if her father-in-law says she can’t eat today, she will certainly listen.
What’s more, she didn’t want a bloodbath or some kind!
“Why? Is this bowl of porridge bad?”
Wei Jin also thought of this, and hurriedly put down this bowl of porridge, afraid to feed it to her again.
“It’s nothing, there’s a bug in there.”
Wei Mingyan took another sip of porridge, and looked bland as if he was talking about a very normal thing, “You have thick skin and thick flesh, eating a bug is fine. Qian Miao would throw up after eating it.”
“How is that possible? I watched them fill this porridge with my own eyes. How can there be a bug…?”
Knowing that it wasn’t a bloodbath, Wei Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and while talking, he took a spoon to stir the bowl.
He still trusted his eyes more… Bugs???
Wei Jin silently put down this bowl of porridge and picked up another bowl.
But in the end, he was aggrieved, “Dad, you wouldn’t eat bugs, but how come you would give them to me?”
Wei Mingyan had already finished the porridge in his hand. He put the bowl down with a breezy look on his face, “And… Have you eaten it?”
Wei Jin, “… No. But Dad, this porridge was also cooked in the same pot …”
“That bug of yours fell into the bowl when it was served up.”
The handsome man glanced at his son with nothing more than a ‘As my son, how can you be so stupid?’ kind of look.
Wei Jin was speechless.
Fu Yunyun, who watched the whole thing, had long turned silly.
Just now, that bowl of porridge was always held by Wei Jin.
The porridge looked clean, but the man didn’t touch it at all. Yet, he knew there were bugs in it.
What was a master? This is a master!!
She was so excited that she couldn’t care less about being a coward, and carefully came over, “Excuse me, hello Uncle. I’m Miaomiao’s colleague, it’s just that… I want you to do a calculation… If you don’t mind, name your price. I won’t haggle.”
Wei Mingyan stood up with his little granddaughter in his arms and patted the sleeping baby with his slender hands as he looked at Fu Yunyun’s face before setting his eyes on his little granddaughter.
“You don’t have to pay.”
Fu Yunyun was happy, can this be because of being a best friend? Sure enough, it was always better to have some connections.
She also wanted to offer money a few times, but the handsome man in Daoist robes faintly uttered, “I won’t accept money to tell the fortunes of people who would suffer a bloody misfortune.”
Yes, he has always had such principles.
