Thinking About It Too Simply!
This startled Li Lei, who quickly checked his sister's heartbeat and breathed a sigh of relief after finding that she was just asleep.
He held his sister's withered hand, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He put his sister's hand under the blanket.
Then he walked out of the bedroom.
In the courtyard!
The setting sun cast its golden rays upon the farmhouse courtyard, draping the land in a veil of gold.
However, hidden within this tranquility and beauty lies a deep sorrow.
Li Dashi sat on the threshold, staring blankly into the distance. His face was filled with exhaustion and despair, and his once powerful hands now hung limply at his knees.
"Father, we can't give up!" Wang Huan sat down next to Li Dashi.
His voice was firm and powerful, and his eyes shone with an indomitable light.
Li Dashi looked up at his son's young face, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart.
He knew his son's feelings, but the harsh reality prevented him from speaking up.
He sighed and said slowly, "Lei'er, we've done our best..."
"No!" Li Lei interrupted his father, "As long as we have a breath left, we can't give up hope. I'll go to town to find work, earn money to hire a doctor, and there will definitely be a way to cure my sister!"
"Father, please stay home and take good care of Mother and Xiu'er. I'll be back soon!"
Looking into his son's determined eyes, Li Dashi felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
I also know that this might be the only way right now.
After some discussion...
Without hesitation, Li Lei embarked on his journey to the town, hoping to find a job and raise money for his sister's medical treatment.
However, reality was far crueler than he had imagined.
When he arrived in town full of hope, he found that finding a job was not easy.
He traveled around, asking countless shops and workshops, but all he received were cold rejections.
After several days of setbacks, Wang Huan had long since run out of the dry rations he brought!
He's been finding things to do on an empty stomach these past few days!
He was starving and exhausted, but his inner belief kept him going.
Just then, a seemingly kind middle-aged man approached him, claiming to be the steward of a wealthy family and needing a few helpers to move goods.
Li Lei was overjoyed, thinking he had finally found hope.
Without hesitation, he followed the middle-aged man to the so-called "wealthy family's house".
However, what awaited him was a nightmare.
It turns out that this middle-aged man was not the steward of a wealthy family, but a swindler who specialized in deceiving outsiders.
He tricked Li Lei into going to a remote warehouse and forced him and several other people who had been tricked there to move heavy goods.
Li Lei exerted all his strength, his clothes soaked with sweat, but the swindlers didn't care about their lives at all.
Not only did they withhold wages from Li Lei and his team, they also frequently beat and kicked them to force them to speed up the process.
Li Lei was filled with despair. He looked at the other people who had also been deceived, their eyes also filled with helplessness and anger. He realized that he was trapped in a quagmire from which he could not extricate himself.
However, just when he was about to give up, he remembered his parents and sister at home.
He remembered his sister's pale face and her large, lifeless eyes.
He knew he couldn't just give up like that.
And at least one advantage is that they have food to eat.
Even though it's like swill, it's better than going hungry!
So he gritted his teeth, endured the physical and mental torment, and continued to move those heavy goods.
At the same time, look for an opportunity to escape!
And so, Li Lei persevered amidst despair.
He didn't know how much longer he could hold on, but he knew he couldn't give up.
Because he knew that in his faraway home, someone was waiting for him to return...
Li Lei, inside Li Lei's body, watched this scene unfold.
I felt immense respect for this boy who wasn't much older than me!
He's definitely a real man.
Ye Jing was also observing, knowing that fate is definitely not something that can be easily changed by your efforts.
During a move, Li Lei fell to the ground due to exhaustion.
Instead of showing any sympathy, the swindlers beat and kicked him even more viciously.
Li Lei was in so much pain that he almost fainted, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.
He knew he couldn't just give up like this.
He struggled to his feet and continued carrying the goods.
Suddenly one day...
An old man with a long beard and an air of otherworldly wisdom arrived at the warehouse.
I saw Li Lei.
His wrinkled eyes lit up, and he took Li Lei away without hesitation.
The old man led Li Lei away from the dark warehouse and into a misty valley.
The valley is lush with vegetation and exudes Spiritual Qi atmosphere, resembling a fairyland.
The old man claimed to be a cultivator named Qing Xuanzi. He admired Li Lei's unwavering will and determination to cure his sister's illness, and decided to take him as his disciple.
"Would you be willing to follow me in cultivating immortality and learn the art of eternal life?" Qing Xuanzi stroked his long beard, his eyes gleaming.
Li Lei was overjoyed, but then he thought of his sister's illness. He knelt before Qing Xuanzi and said urgently, "Master, I am willing to cultivate immortality, but please save my sister first. She is seriously ill and doesn't have much time left."
Qing Xuanzi nodded slightly, but a troubled look appeared on his face. "Although I will take you as my disciple, people's hearts are incredibly complex in this world. I'm afraid that after I heal your sister, you will regret it and no longer be willing to follow me in cultivation!"
"So I will teach you a Secret Method that can bring the dead back to life and heal bones!"
"However, you need to reach the Innate Realm before you can use your Divine Ability to save your sister from danger."
"However, the Innate Realm cannot be reached overnight; you must cultivate diligently to succeed."
Although Li Lei was anxious, he also understood the difficulties of the path of cultivation and the wickedness of people's hearts, and knew that his master was right.
He gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Yes, Master, I understand. I will work hard in my cultivation."
Qing Xuanzi nodded in satisfaction and began to teach Li Lei the methods of cultivating immortality.
He first taught Li Lei how to sense the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and how to guide the Spiritual Qi into his body to temper his physical form.
Next, he taught Li Lei some basic Law Technique and martial arts techniques so that he could protect himself.
Qing Xuanzi's meticulous guidance earned Li Lei's trust.
Inside Li Lei's body, Wang Huan's heavy heart gradually lightened; now there was finally hope!
This poor soul has finally made it through!
Ye Jing watched Wang Huan's smile from the side, and shook his head with a slight smile.
He's still just a child, oversimplifying things!
Li Lei studied diligently day and night, daring not to slack off in the slightest.
He knew he bore the heavy responsibility of saving his sister and needed to reach the Innate Realm as soon as possible.
Whenever the night is quiet, he thinks of his sister's pale face and her dull eyes, which becomes his motivation to move forward.
