Chapter 364 eting a Fairy (I)
Forty-nine-year-old Liu Guiying has worked in the street office for many years. She has a big booming voice, but she is actually a very nice old lady who is sowhat refined in her rough way.
She was widowed early and worked hard to raise her girl who is now studying at the Academy of Fine Arts. Her daughter is very good at painting and looks very beautiful. Everyone in the neighborhood says she is really blessed. In fact, every family has a difficult experience. She only talks about the good things to others. Can she complain to outsiders about the difficulties of raising her daughter and the high tuition fees of the Academy of Fine Arts?
But no matter how hard it is, god always treats kind people nicely. After years of hard work, her daughter was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts. The tuition is high, but Liu Guiying’s daughter is really talented in painting.
Everything is fine until Liu Guiying was diagnosed with diabetes three years ago.
It is a troubleso disease. It will not kill people right away but will always be a money pit. She needs to always pay attention to what she eats, not to ntion getting insulin shots all the ti. The monthly drug bill is a large problem although a part of it can be reimbursed by dical insurance. Her daughter’s high tuition remains to be a problem. Having only one bread-earner Liu Guiying, this family is in a very tough situation.
At the beginning, she was still strong and remained in treatnt. However, she had complications with her vision the year before. She would be in danger if she did not remove her eyes.
Liu Guiying felt like the sky had fallen and everything was lost.
She didn’t want to be blind, nor did she want to hold her daughter back. If her two eyeballs had been removed, it would have ant that she would retire because of illness imdiately. They couldn’t afford the tuition fees of the Academy of Fine Arts with her retirent inco alone.
Being blind, or waiting for death?
Liu Guiying has been a widow for most of her life. She didn’t want to die before her only daughter succeeding in her career and having her own family. But if she chose to live, she could never see this bright world again. She had trouble sleeping during that ti. The doctor also said even if her eyeballs were removed, it didn’t an she would stay cured and she still needed to take dicine for a long ti—At that ti she could only rely on her retirent pay. Could her daughter’s life and her own treatnt both be guaranteed?
Liu Guiying told her daughter studying at the capital about it when she couldn’t hide it anymore.
Liu Xinyou hurried back from the capital overnight. Looking at her mother who had lost a lot of weight, they cried miserably in each other’s arms. After crying, Liu Xinyou made the final decision imdiately: removing the eyes to save her mother’s life!
She had so talents in painting and usually consigned so of her work in the gallery. But people with talent are always a bit arrogant. The price was high, however, few people would buy a little-known painter’s painting with a high price. It’s common to only sell one in a few months. As for computer drafting, she had always looked down on it as a person who learned to paint.
The part-ti job which she had always looked down on was a life-saving straw at this ti. Liu Xin comforted Liu Guiying and asked her to relax and contact the hospital to prepare for surgery. She returned to the capital to sell paintings and did part-ti job to raise money.
Liu Guiying was convinced. She would undergo the surgery and never see this world so she thought she needed to draw a beautiful ending. She had only one regret in her life. Her husband who died young had said that he would take her to the Dongting for boating. Before he fulfilled his promise, this old-fashion artistic youth passed away at his young age.
She wanted to see the landscape of Dongting for his husband.
Taking it as the last trip in her life, Liu Guiying went to Yueyang Tower and watched the vast Dongting. Her worries about the surgery had dissipated a lot. Liu Guiying heard other tourists saying the incense of Mount Jun was extrely magical. She bought a ferry ticket and went all the way to Mount Jun.
She didn’t expect there were so many tourists in a small Mount Jun. It’s so crowded and she was a little disappointed. When she was in Xiangfei Temple, she heard the most magical place was Liu Yi Well. The lucky charm light of Mount Jun had co up from this well. Thinking that everything would be unknown after her surgery, she actually bought so incense to worship it with a devout heart.
She was praying to the Bodhisattva of great rcy for blessing Liu Xinyou to complete her studies successfully and have a happy future. When Liu Guiying put incense sticks to worship devoutly, she was having the idea that “you’d better trust it than doubt it”. However, sothing unexpected happened and she beca a true believer.
At that ti, she finished burning incense and was about to leave. A girl who looked really extraordinary and high-ranking asked her what the year and the ti was now. Liu Guiying didn’t think much at that ti. She just thought young people now were really confused and she was also nagging for a little while.
The girl disappeared in a blink of an eye. Liu Guiying felt very strange for a mont and it suddenly rained above Mount Jun. The golden spirit rain fell into Liu Guiying’s eyes and her blurred vision seed to be clearer.
She heard the crowd was roaring, saying sothing about spirit rain. Liu Guiying’s heart was pounding. Were there real Gods, Buddha, and fairies in this world? No one was sure about it. But hadn’t the existence of cultivators been confird? Now her daughter Liu Xinyou usually searched various videos taken by others on the internet, and people of Huaxia all wanted to know more about immortals—She didn’t know the effect of this spirit rain but maybe it wouldn’t do any harm?
Liu Guiying just wanted to make every possible effort. She opened her mouth regardless of everything else and held her hands to catch the golden rain falling from the sky. It was sweet with a dicinal scent, which might really be a good thing.
Liu Guiying was more exaggerated than others. She also benefited more from it. At that ti, she felt her body tortured by the illness was much better.
When the spirit rain stopped, a female voice rang over Mount Jun, “I can feel how devout you are. So here cos the spirit rain to wash the dust.” Even as ti passed by, Liu Guiying would always clearly rember these words and that voice.
She looked up again. Others could only tell it was a fairy from heaven in flying colorful clothes in the blurred water mirror above Mount Jun. Liu Guiying recognized her outline at a glance. She was definitely the girl who had asked her the question.
It turned out that she was the fairy of the heaven. No wonder she didn’t know the ti of the mortal world. Destiny, what a splendid destiny! Liu Guiying knelt down reverently. This “Mortal Heart Fairy” must be moved by her devoutness when serving the incense. Therefore, she ca out to make the spirit rain to help her pilgrims who were victims of disease like her.
Liu Guiying worshiped the fairy again. When she returned ho, she insisted that she “had t a fairy”. Her daughter Liu Xinyou thought she was brainwashed by so multi-level marketing organizations. When Liu Xinyou finished her work, she went back from the capital imdiately. She took stubborn Liu Guiying to the hospital for examination. Liu Guiying’s diabetes was not totally cured but the lesions subsided and all her indexes were in a normal range.
That was to say, there was no need to remove her eyeballs by surgery? Liu Guiying was more and more certain that it was a true immortal and Liu Xinyou also kind of believed it. She knew how serious her mother’s disease was and illegal organizations couldn’t treat the disease. Although her diabetes was not totally cured, it was true that her eyes didn’t need to be removed.
Among all pilgrims who had witnessed the miracle in Mount Jun at that ti, maybe Liu Guiying was the only one who t the fairy. She hounded her daughter to paint a portrait of the fairy for worshiping.
There were also several photos of that fairy in flowing colorful clothes on the Internet. Liu Xinyou painted one and changed for many tis according to the high standard of Liu Guiying. It took her about half a month to paint a very similar “Mortal Heart Fairy”.
Liu Guiying’s disease was under control so she worked in the street office as usual. The old lady hung the portrait of Mortal Heart Fairy in the study room. She offered incense every morning and evening, being an extrely religious worshiper. Not only religious in incense, whenever she was happy, she said a few words in front of the portrait; when she encountered difficulties in her work, she told a few words to the fairy and seed to have a courage to face those difficulties.
With Liu Guiying’s experience, she didn’t know that it was actually because of the nurturing power of faith—People with faith are always more courageous in life. This is sothing that people who dawdle away their ti can’t understand.
If life is always going smoothly, cultivators will probably not pursue the road to immortals and endeavor to beco true immortals who are always free. When Liu Guiying felt life was getting better and better, Liu Xinyou suddenly fainted while taking part-ti job this spring. She was taken to hospital and diagnosed with leukemia.
Liu Guiying went faint when she knew the diagnosis.
What should she do after she waked up? To found a way to cure her daughter no matter how much money it would cost! Her gifted daughter was at the most wonderful golden age in her life which was like a flower in the blossom. She even had not fallen in love yet. How could she just let her die?
Liu Xinyou was waiting for a bone marrow matched with hers while receiving chemotherapy. Her classmates had donated so money for her dical bills but it almost dried up in chemotherapy. Liu Guiying wanted to sell the house for the transplant surgery as soon as they found a suitable bone marrow donor.
After half a year, tortured by chemotherapy, Xinyou who was once healthy and beautiful is now very weak. The chemotherapy has taken all of her hairs and makes her skinny. She even vomits whatever she eats. Liu Guiying has insomnia all night long and also suffers from hair loss, as if she is the one who gets leukemia.
If it’s just that, Liu Guiying feels she can still hold on. However, bad news ca from the hospital last night. Liu Xinyou’s condition changed and she must receive a bone marrow transplant imdiately. Otherwise, she couldn’t hold on for another three days...
They have been waiting for a suitable match for the transplant for half a year. Could it suddenly appear in the following three days? Liu Guiying hung up the phone anxiously. Holding a candle in her hand, she vomited blood on the altar where she worshiped the fairy.
Fairy with great compassion, could you see a suffering believer?
Please, show your rcy and save my little girl.
Feeling hopeless, Liu Guiying was unwilling to give up the last straw. She got to her feet shakily and kowtowed to the portrait desperately. She begged while she kowtowed. Her forehead was soon broken. It’s the blood of a mother and the faith of piety. She did not even dare to think how could she bear the grief of losing her daughter after losing her husband if she could not get a response from the fairy.
Among all believers of the “Mortal Heart Fairy”, she is not the most powerful or wealthy one, nor a person who can serve expensive offerings.
Forty-nine-year-old Liu Guiying is just an ordinary old lady who has worked for many years in the street office. She is the most ordinary mber of the Huaxia working class.
However, she is also a distinctive one. Returning from Mount Jun, she made the portrait of “Mortal Heart Fairy” and hung it in the study room. She offers incense every day. Her pious heart of faith has already been connected with the fairy she believes through space.
With little strength but great sincerity, she is the most devout believer.
