Chapter 1231: Chapter 1226: Why Don’t You Co Back?
They all experienced life and death and were reborn.
So why couldn’t they start their lives anew?
As Searcy expected, Jie Zhonglin woke up in pain.
The agony after the anesthesia was unbearable for an ordinary person; he was sweating cold sweat from the pain.
Miss Du changed a clean towel and wiped the sweat off his forehead, and only then did he notice he was no longer in that dilapidated beggar’s hut.
Every ti he woke up, his leg hurt, but this ti it was especially painful, immobilizing him. He looked down to see that his leg was fixed with several straight wooden boards.
Miss Du exclaid in surprise: “Don’t move, Youyou said your leg can’t be moved; otherwise, it would be ruined.”
“I… did you bring back?”
This was a familiar place, the Jie family’s house.
Miss Du nodded: “Yes, you fainted in the snow, and I brought you back.”
So he had co back after all.
A tear slid from Jie Zhonglin’s eye as he closed his eyes.
Miss Du also began to sob, and after a mont she asked, “If you were alive, why didn’t you co back? Why would you rather disguise as a beggar and hide in Jinxiu City, and even deliberately avoid us?”
“I… why?” His voice was weak, reminiscing about the ti in Xining.
The group of n with him, the brothers who were bonded with him by life and death.
But they all died, really hacked to death by chaotic blades, while they desperately carried him out.
Those mories were sothing he no longer wanted to recall; he had collapsed with severe injuries at a herdsman’s ho.
He said to Miss Du, “I narrowly escaped death with serious injuries. Later, I fainted at a herdsman’s house, where I recovered for a long while before I could barely walk. I left all my valuable possessions with them. After leaving their ho, I found the war had already been over for quite so ti.
I started wandering towards Beijing with nothing valuable on and handicapped, naturally becoming a beggar.
After arriving in Beijing, I found out that I had been declared killed in action. At that ti, in that state, I really felt that it would have been better if I had died, at least to fulfill the camaraderie of my fellow soldiers.”
Looking at Miss Du, he continued, “I didn’t dare to see you, with the way I am… I didn’t know how to face you…”
Miss Du, covering her mouth, sobbed softly, saying, “So you actually wanted to just die? Do you know that I had a son for you?”
“I…” Jie Zhonglin’s face was filled with pain as he said, “I know, his na is Jie Yi, and he’s really adorable.”
He would often hide near Manxiu Building and watch secretly; of course, he knew.
Miss Du cried out, “Then how could you bear not even letting him have one glance at you before fulfilling your soldier’s camaraderie?”
Jie Zhonglin was left speechless, feeling waves of sourness in his heart that were more unbearable than the pain in his leg.
Hearing footsteps outside, Miss Du stood up and said in a low voice, “Your dad is here; you’d better talk to him.”
She got up and walked out with a basin.
Though not very old, Elder Jie already had white hair.
Most of that white hair had probably grown in the last two years. Seeing his father again, Jie Zhonglin felt that his father truly had beco an old father, aged at least ten years.
“Dad, I’m sorry to have caused you worry, I…”
Elder Jie gestured with his hand to stop him from continuing, not approaching Jie Zhonglin but standing at the door, his eyes full of vicissitudes.
He said, “Being alive is good; I just wanted to see you, you rest well!”
