Chapter 326 It’s great to meet you in this life.
The master and disciple at the crematorium looked at the two men's backs as they left, feeling complicated. At the same time, they really couldn't understand why this man, who looked sick and dying, was still refining bone beads?
What is the use of this bone bead?
The scene of the two people supporting each other and leaving makes people feel a little sad, but the old man feels even more lost. Alas, he thought he could make more money.
Outside the crematorium, the coachman had been waiting for a long time. He was relieved when he saw the two people coming out. He thought that the two people were going to live in this crematorium, but they could stay there for so long!
While it's still light, if we make the horse run faster, we can still get back before the city gate closes.
Si He helped Ning Ji get on the carriage, and the driver hurried on.
Along the way, Si He was paying attention to Ning Ji's condition, which was getting worse and worse.
Her heart ached, but she maintained a relatively calm expression as she listened to him talk about the improvements that could be made by refining bone beads.
'Bone Refining and Soul-Searching Technique' is a legendary skill. Although it was once said to be miraculous, whether it is really that magical or not, only a few people have actually seen its effects. Rumors are often not to be believed, especially those about reincarnation.
Even though it comes from Buddhism.
But if there is really a glimmer of hope, he wants to give it a try.
After returning to the city and the carriage stopped, Si He helped Ning Ji back to the inn.
In the teahouse across the street, the man sitting by the window never took his eyes off the two men after seeing them get off the carriage.
This person is Zang Nian.
He came here specially after hearing the report from his subordinates that the two men were in the city. However, he waited for the whole afternoon and it was almost dark when he saw the two men returning to the inn in a carriage.
After seeing each other again for more than half a year, Zang Nian really didn't expect that Ning Ji had changed so much. He was suffering from illness and was about to die.
However, when he recalled the pulse he had taken before, he understood. No wonder he asked him about the secret Buddhist techniques at that time.
But what’s the use of this?
Time is long, even if there is reincarnation, by then everything will have changed. Can the woman still stay like this?
Zang Nian thought about it carefully and felt that this magical thing called spiritual essence might be of some use.
At this moment, Zang Nian was really curious. Could this woman live for another few decades?
After a while, the two figures disappeared from sight and entered the inn.
Zang Nian originally wanted to find someone to talk to, but it was already late, so he decided to do it another day.
After taking a sip of tea, Zang Nian stood up and left the teahouse.
In the guest room of the inn, Ning Ji lay on the bed, closed his eyes tiredly and fell asleep, without even an appetite for dinner.
Si He sat by the bed and wiped his face and hands with a towel dipped in warm water.
In the past, Ning Ji had always taken care of her like this, but now it was her turn, and she felt only bitterness and sadness in her heart.
During these days, she experienced the same feeling as when Ning Ji was with her.
If possible, if I hadn't experienced those things, it would be nice to just live a simple life with him, like an ordinary person, then there wouldn't be so much sadness and regrets.
But fate is so cruel and time flies.
Staying together until old age has become a luxury for the two of them.
Si He sat quietly beside the bed, looking at his tired sleeping face. After a long time, she lay down beside him and fell asleep together.
In the next few days, neither of them went out and let Ning Ji rest in the house, because he was becoming increasingly weak in walking and had very little energy.
Most of the time, Si He would sit with him by the bed, talk to him, or play a little tune with a leaf, occasionally rubbing his shoulders and legs. As for meals, she would ask the waiter to bring them to him.
Originally, Ning Ji wanted to go to the crematorium again and refine the bone beads according to the improved method, but his body could not hold on any longer, so he had to give up.
Zang Nian waited for several days, but no one came out of the inn. He originally wanted to ask for a meeting, but after thinking about it, he decided not to go. Without asking, he could guess that there must be something wrong with Ning Ji's health.
Sometimes, Zang Nian felt that Ning Ji was a little inflexible. He had the longevity pill but didn't dare to take it. After all, the evil energy in the pill could be transferred.
A few more years of life is better than nothing. For a little hope of reincarnation, I would rather give up my life.
In the end, Zang Nian just asked someone to keep an eye on the inn and report any news at any time. He was too lazy to visit the inn.
The spring day was warm, and the flowers in the inn yard were in full bloom, full of vitality. When the breeze blew, the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance.
But Ning Ji's condition was getting worse day by day, his vitality gradually dimmed, like a lamp that was about to run out of oil, or a withered flower, his vitality was disappearing bit by bit.
Si He knew that he didn't have much time left.
"Husband, I heard from the waiter that there's a new restaurant in the east of the city. The food is delicious and the business is booming. When you feel better, let's go and try it together, okay?"
Si He lay on the bed with him and talked to him. There was no sadness in her voice, and there was a faint smile on her face, as if with some expectation.
"it is good……"
Ning Ji's voice was very weak, completely unlike his previous self. He even had some difficulty speaking.
Si He felt uncomfortable, but she still smiled and said, "Husband, are you hungry? I'll ask the waiter to buy some food. Do you still want to eat porridge?"
He said in a low voice: "Accompany me... lie down for a while..."
Si He's throat rolled over and he said, "Okay."
After a while, she finally heard Ning Ji say, "I kind of regret it..."
Hearing this, she asked, "What do you regret?"
He said, "Forget about the bone refining... The rest of my life is long... But, waiting... is the most tormenting thing. I don't want you to live in torment..."
What is more torturous than waiting is the endless search. Reincarnation is just a legend and may not exist.
Si He smiled with tears in her eyes, "That won't do. It's not that painful. You know how I sleep. Time flies by in the blink of an eye. And isn't 'refining bones to find the soul' a Buddhist saying? It must be true. If you are reincarnated, I will definitely find you. I hope that when I meet you again, you will not be an immature brat, haha."
As she spoke, she began to laugh and rubbed her head against his chest. Then she heard him slowly say, "It's so good to meet you in this life."
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He wanted to look at her again, but his eyelids were heavy, his vision gradually darkened, and finally he closed his eyes.
Si He had a smile on her lips, but when she heard the heartbeat beside her ear suddenly disappear, her smile froze on her face.
There was silence in the room, so quiet that it made her almost collapse. Tears immediately rolled down her face, soaking Ning Ji's clothes on her chest.
"Husband..." She called out with a sob, but there was no response from the person next to her. The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After a long time, Si He smiled and said, "It's great to meet you in this life."
