C141 The Gamble of Destiny
It had to be said that this jade pendant was indeed magical. Every time Guxing was seriously injured, it had played a vital role in saving his life.
Moreover, it seemed to be very intelligent. Every time it touched Guxing when he was on the verge of death, so Guxing did not dare to rely too much on it. After all, he had to consider his own life, and no one could guarantee that this jade pendant would play an important role at the critical moment every time.
Some people said that life was a gamble, and the bet was nothing more than one's own life. Everyone had to gamble a few times in this life. It had nothing to do with courage, because in this desperate situation, even if they lost, they would only die. If they won, they would be able to find a way to survive.
Therefore, Guxing gambled with fate without hesitation. Luckily, he won the bet.
However, things in this world were always full of variables. Sometimes, even if they won the bet, they might not be able to keep their lives. It was like weaving a lie, which required more lies to make up a lie. It was the same for gambling.
As the saying went, a small bet was easy to fall in love, but a big bet hurt one's body. In reality, regardless of whether it was a small bet or a small one, it didn't matter. Or a big bet, a bet was a bet, unable to escape from greed. One could not escape from luck. The one who lost tried to turn the tables and become more severe, while the one who won was insatiably greedy and similarly fearless.
Most gambling games in life were won by fate. Therefore, Very few people were able to escape unscathed. Once they gambled the first time, there would be a second time. Whether it is out of coercion or purely voluntary.
Fate always likes to joke around with people. It might especially favor a person, but it might also completely destroy a person.
It's precisely because of its moody nature that sometimes, it's not up to you to not gamble, even if you've already won once before.
At this moment, there was a long gambling table in front of Guxing. The bet was naturally his life, and he sat down. On the other side of the gambling table! It was still the same fate with the disgusting face. Through the black fog in front of him, Guxing seemed to be able to see the mockery in its eyes.
"No matter what, your actions are always disgusting. "
Guxing looked at the sky and murmured. He shook his head. He felt like he had recovered some strength, but compared to before, it was nothing.
"Ye Da. . . Brother, are you awake?"
He could tell that the little girl's voice had a hint of surprise, but hidden in her intermittent words, the surprise was not obvious. What was left was only exhaustion.
"Rouer, are you tired?"
Guxing looked at her haggard face and asked with some heartache. His voice was very soft, so light that he could barely hear it.
However, Chu Rouer clearly heard it. She turned her head and glanced at Guxing. After which, she shook her head and smiled. "Hehe, it's okay. Luckily, Mr Yeh is not heavy at all. Otherwise, Rouer really would not be able to carry him. "
Upon hearing this, Guxing immediately lowered his head and took a look. Only then did he realize that he had already placed all his pressure on Chu Rouer.
"No wonder I slept so soundly. "
Guxing said in his heart, minding his own business. He immediately knew where the dirt on her face and body came from.
"She must have fallen. How much pain did she suffer?"
Thinking of the girl's casual manner earlier, it was obvious that she did not want him to worry. Guxing could not help feeling a little indebted in his heart. However, if he knew that he slept on Chu Rouer's back for a whole day and night, he was afraid that he would owe her even more.
"That's enough Rouer. Stop and rest. "
Seeing that her hair was all wet along the way, Guxing did not know whether it was sweat or rain. Guxing could not help but advise her.
"No. It's fine. Mr Yeh, I am not tired yet. "
Seeing that she was still unwilling to stop talking, Guxing's heart ached. At the same time, he couldn't help but think of what Xiao Yue had said to him.
"That was when you were here. When you weren't there, she was stronger than anyone else. "
Is that so?
At this moment, he seemed to already know the answer.
"But I'm tired. Can I rest for a while?"
With a bitter smile, he could only say this. Indeed, when Chu Rouer heard this, she was only stunned for a moment. Then, she bent down and put Guxing down.
At this time, she finally did not force herself and sat down with her back against Guxing. Then, she turned back to look at the road she had walked and her small face was full of gratification.
"Rouer, how long did I sleep for?"
The two of them sat quietly for a long time and did not speak again as if their hearts were connected. It was only until Chu Rouer's breathing gradually recovered from being hurried and calm that Guxing broke the silence.
Chu Rouer was originally enjoying this rare silence with her eyes narrowed. When she heard Guxing ask her, she subconsciously wanted to answer for a day and night. Suddenly, she thought that saying this would definitely make Mr Yeh feel guilty. She immediately changed her words and said, "About. . . Two hours. Mr Yeh, are you feeling better?"
"Two hours?"
When Guxing heard this, he was suspicious at first. He felt like he had slept for a long time. But at this time, the sky was just about the same time as when he had slept to death yesterday, so he could not tell for a moment.
"Looks like it's a dream. "
He smiled bitterly and said to Chu Rouer, "It is no longer a big problem. It is just that I am still a little away from being able to move normally. It is really hard. . . "
Before he finished speaking, Chu Rouer suddenly turned around and covered his mouth from behind.
"Mr Yeh, I know what you want to say. Rouer does not feel bitter, really. "
Chu Rouer said as she put her head on his back and muttered in a low voice, "Rouer will bring you out. Rouer is not as fragile as you think. . . "
Suddenly, Guxing had the illusion of crying. When he heard the girl's words that sounded like she was talking in her sleep, his nose turned sour and his eyes unknowingly turned red.
It seemed like it had been a long time. . . It had been a long time since he felt this kind of concern.
Due to the previous battle, his body was still exhausted, but his mind was very active at the moment. This feeling reminded him of his grandfather. He must be enjoying himself in the sky because he had done so many good things. Also, Bao must be living a good life. After all, Mr Qian had taken care of him.
As he thought about it, he thought of his mother-in-law in the village. Apart from his grandfather, she was the only person who was willing to treat him well. She was so kind and the rice cakes she made were so delicious.
He was a very easily satisfied person. He had bullied people in the village before. He had long forgotten his face, but the person who treated him well. He had never even forgotten his name, even though he was only a child. . . He had heard his grandfather call her Ninth Granny, even when she had died that year. He was only three years old.
