"It can be cured." The old man, Dr. Tsushima, was already gray-haired, but he had a rough face, which made it clear that he was not a good person. After looking into Chibei's eyes, he kept saying three words over and over again.
The word, "can be cured."
"Then please doctor, please start treating him quickly." Yu Qiuping looked at his unhurried look and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "You also know that this patient cannot be delayed."
"It can be cured." Dr. Tsushima said the same thing.
"Doctor, what do you want to express?" Charlie frowned and asked in blunt Japanese with dissatisfaction.
"Where's the money?" Dr. Tsushima spread his hands, "Fifty guan, not even a penny less."
Yu Qiuping and Charlie stared at him at the same time, with expressions of disbelief.
"Fifty strings..." Yu Qiuping swallowed.
"Doctors, they are indeed evil demons like witches." Charlie cursed fiercely, "You clearly know that we don't have so much money."
"That's all, forget it if you don't give it." Dr. Tsushima waved his hand, "Xiao Qi, send the patients out."
"You!" Seeing that Charlie was about to have an attack, the guards hurriedly stopped him and looked at Yu Qiuping again.
"Master Yuqiu, let's forget it..." He whispered, "It's too expensive. My life is not worth so much money."
"It's not a cheap life. Every life is hard-earned when it comes to this world." Yu Qiuping suddenly turned around, put his hands on his shoulders, and looked directly into the eyes of the soldier. "I promised you,
Let you live a good life. I, Yu Qiuping, always do what I say."
"Master Yuqiu..." Chibei felt that he had shed all the tears he had not shed for more than ten years. But how could he not be moved by the kind-hearted young man in front of him.
Can you do this for a stranger you didn't even know a few hours ago?
"Doctor, you wait for me here, I will raise money." Yu Qiuping whispered, "Thompson, come with me, we will go to Mr. Asahina to borrow money."
"Hurry up, this eye is deteriorating rapidly, there is too much pus," Dr. Tsushima didn't know whether he was kind-hearted or deliberately sarcastic, "If you can't raise the money tonight, there is no need to raise it, just buy a coffin."
Yu Qiuping and Charlie rushed all the way to the door of Asahina's house. After knocking on the door frantically, they were told that Asahina Taehyung still hadn't come back. Yu Qiuping suddenly remembered that Asahina Taisho said he wanted to thank him personally, so he wanted to see Asahina Taisho. However, he was told Asahina again.
Tai Chao also rushed to Yuanjiang. In desperation, Yu Qiuping said that he was Asahina Taiheng's adopted brother, and begged the people in the house to give him some money, but none of the people in the house knew Yu Qiuping, especially
There was a foreigner accompanying him, so he was driven away as if he were a liar.
Yu Qiuping had no choice but to find a merchant who usually helped him settle accounts and asked to borrow money. However, it was already four o'clock in the hour, and all the bosses and shopkeepers who knew him had gone back to the outside of the city, and the clerks in the store had no right to take the money.
The desperate Yu Qiuping stood on the street of Junfu Castle, at a loss. Was he going to watch another life slip away in front of him? The city gate was about to close at six o'clock. If he didn't go out, it would be too late.
What a good kenbei, he didn't lose his dignity even when he became a beggar. He endured so many people's disgust and insults, but he still treated everyone so kindly.
Do you want to watch him die?
Why was his life not as good as when I was a beggar?
When I was a beggar...
Yu Qiuping suddenly had a flash in his mind and mechanically took out the red leaf pendant that he had worn for more than ten years from his arms.
"Isn't that... your family heirloom?" Charlie asked softly.
"It's worth 50 coins, right?" Yu Qiuping said to himself comfortingly, and ran to the pawn shop in the city.
Fortunately, the pawnshop owner hadn't closed the shop yet, and was sitting behind the counter in a fit of rage.
"Boss, I want to pawn this pendant," Yu Qiuping pointed to the red leaf pendant hanging around his neck, "How much money do you think I can get?"
The boss glanced at the red leaf casually at first, then his eyes suddenly straightened, he became energetic all of a sudden, and sat up straight. Then, he suddenly returned to his listless look before, pretending to ask casually
, "Young man, seeing that you are in such a hurry, what are you doing?"
"Emergency to save people! Boss! Please hurry up!" Yu Qiuping was so anxious that he almost broke the chain, "How much do you think this is?"
The boss was overjoyed when he heard that Yu Qiuping was eager to save people. He pretended to be impatient and looked at the pendant, "Well...30 pendants are about right, right?" After saying this, the boss felt guilty.
.This pendant is made of fine rubies, without any impurities, exquisite workmanship, and crystal clear. You may not be able to buy it even if it costs a thousand dollars. He planned to raise the price if the young man retorted a little, using the excuse that he didn't see the thing clearly.
to 500 strings.
"So few!" Yu Qiuping suddenly felt extremely disappointed, "Boss, I'm really in a hurry to save people. Can you please give me 50 pieces?"
"50 yuan!" The boss was shocked by Yu Qiuping's stupidity, but Yu Qiuping mistakenly thought that the boss thought he was raising the price all the time, and continued to plead, "Boss! Please! The price offered by Dr. Tsushima is 50 yuan!"
Oh! If you don’t leave the city, the gate will be closed!”
"Okay, okay, let's take 50 guan," the boss felt happy, but still pretended to be reluctant and handed Yu Qiuping 50 guan. After Yu Qiuping turned around and ran away, he took the pendant and
Facing the sunset, I couldn't put it down and looked at it.
Yu Qiuping rushed out with the money before the city gate closed and handed it over to Dr. Tsushima. When he returned, Chibei, who had a sudden eye disease, was sweating profusely in pain.
"Okay, you can go out." Dr. Tsushima threw the money bag aside and waved his hand, "I'm here to operate. Don't worry, if you give the money, the person will be saved."
Yu Qiuping and Charlie were waiting outside. Charlie had fallen asleep leaning on a pillar due to the fatigue of running around for a long time. Yu Qiuping, however, could not sleep at night, thinking about the progress of the operation all the time, wandering back and forth outside the door.
It'll be fine.
He kept muttering softly.
Such a good boy, nothing will happen to him.
I promised him to live a good life, and God will bless him to live a good life because I never break my promise.
Yu Qiuping was suddenly a little surprised as to why he cared so much about a stranger.
Maybe it's because he looks a lot like me.
Or maybe it's because I am a living person myself. As long as I am a human being, I will have the compassion that uncle said towards others. I can't bear to see a life leave like this.
Why?
Finally, when a white fish belly appeared in the east, Dr. Tsushima came out and told Yu Qiuping that Chibei was fine.
Yu Qiuping rushed in excitedly, and Dr. Tsushima left through the side door. Charlie yawned and also walked in.
Entering the house, the smell of disinfectant herbs was particularly strong, but it also made Yu Qiu feel relieved.
Chibei was lying on a raised tatami, with a white gauze tied around his right eye. The morning light penetrated into the room through the window paper, giving the room a faint glow.
Yu Qiuping came to his side. Before he could speak, the guard guard asked tremblingly.
"Sir..." His voice was weak, "Where did you... raise the money?"
"It's okay...I..." Yu Qiuping was hesitating how to make an excuse, but the upright Charlie said directly, "Mr. pawned his family heirloom." After that, he yawned again and walked to the door unsteadily.
, glanced at Yu Qiuping and Chibingwei, and leaned against the doorpost again.
"Sir...I..." Senbei's tears suddenly flowed out again, "Sir, why am I...worthy of being treated like this?"
Yu Qiuping was stunned and smiled softly.
"Because you have been born into this world," Yu Qiuping replied matter-of-factly.
Suddenly, he understood the answer to the question that troubled him just now, "Every person born in this world has an extremely precious life. Life is only once and cannot be repeated. After death, there is nothing."
"What about money, status, rights, heirlooms? Put them together with life, and you can tell which one is more important." He smiled and said, "If I can save a living person, why would I be reluctant to part with my heirlooms?"
"When you see a person, because he saved his life," the smile on Yu Qiuping's face suddenly became very gentle, "it's a feeling that he deserves to live for once."
"Moreover, I promised you to let you live a good life. I, Yu Qiuping, will do what I say."
"So, you have to live well! Live strong! Don't let me break my promise. Enjoy your life. Do what you want to do and become who you want to be."
"You are a great knight." Charlie interrupted abruptly.
"Sir... you are really kind." Chibei sobbed, "I have been wandering for ten years and have been used to the warmth and coldness of the world. I thought that there would be no good people in this troubled world. Until I met you.
"
"Ahem..." Before he could say a few words, Chibei coughed violently.
"You just had surgery, stop talking and have a good rest." Yu Qiuping warned.
"No, sir, please listen to what I have to say." The guard struggled and turned slightly sideways, staring at Yu Qiuping with his only tearful eye.
It was getting brighter, Charlie got up and opened the window.
A gust of cool breeze blew out, blowing out the candles on the table. The room suddenly became dark. The morning light immediately followed, filling the darkness in the room with light, and coating the guard with a layer of light.
A pious color like morning glow.
"God took away one of my eyes, but gave me another ten years, allowing me the honor to meet you. This is really the luckiest thing in my life." He smiled, but shed tears.
"Sir, you are so kind and kind, and I really have nothing to repay." The tears were so dazzling in the morning light.
"Sir, you said that the villain should become the person he wants to be." Chibei smiled with great pride, "I want to be a person like the adults, living under the same morning glow and breathing the same air as the adults."
"Become a kind person, become a person who does what he says, and become a person who always strives to live."
"I will use my only remaining eyes to see the way forward for you."
He tried his best to get up and stood on the tatami. Regardless of Yu Qiuping's obstruction, he respectfully endured the severe pain and bowed.
Outside the window behind him, a morning sun was slowly rising. Because the guard leaned over, the blocked sunlight shone into the room, illuminating Yu Qiuping's face, which was originally in the shadow. He was a little tired, but full of energy.
Glad.
Chibei looked back on his short life of more than ten years, and it was full of darkness. Until he met this adult. It only lasted a few moments, but at this moment, Chibei raised his head slightly and stared at Yuqiu's flat cheeks.
Wei, saw the light.
Just like the rising sun.
"This little man's life was given to you by your lord," the guard kowtowed heavily, "The only thing left in my life is to repay your lord."
"Sir, in this life, my personal soldiers and guards will definitely live up to your expectations."
