Chapter 608 - 608 Leading Evil 3
608 Leading Evil 3
Three days. Three days later would be the time of death for this person.
It would also be his master’s last day.
“So, did you ask for my life just now?”
Father Xiao asked calmly.
!!
“Yes, you agreed.”
Little Niu also answered calmly.
Father Xiao fell silent after asking. Yes, he had agreed.
He had never thought that his son would ask for too much. He felt that he shouldn’t.
But if Miao Yuehua could change, why couldn’t he?
He had already accepted Miao Yuehua’s change. Now that his son had changed, what else could he not accept?
Father Xiao didn’t say anything else, and neither did Little Niu.
After tying him to a tree, Little Niu hung a big pancake around his neck. After doing all this, Little Niu fumbled his way back.
Su Xiaolu held him and said, “I’ll take you back and pack up. Let’s not let them find out.”
Little Niu knew that Uncle-Master Niu’s lifespan was coming to an end. Elder Niu also knew that Little Niu would do evil. The master and disciple didn’t expose each other.
Little Niu did not refuse Su Xiaolu’s help. His eyes were indeed getting dimmer and dimmer. Perhaps it would not be long before he became a real blind person.
He looked sideways at Su Xiaolu beside him. His Senior Sister was still shining.
He would never see her like this again.
“Senior Sister, thank you.”
Even if he was willing to become a fiend, he was still grateful to Su Xiaolu. She had once illuminated him.
Su Xiaolu looked at the smiling Little Niu and almost cried.
Her Junior Brother had been forced into a dead end. The punishment she had given Miao Yuehua was still way too light.
When they returned to the little straw shed, the two of them pretended that nothing had happened.
w.a.n.g Mian sized up Little Niu many times. He had many questions, but he didn’t dare to ask.
He really wanted to leave now, but seeing that Su Xiaolu and the others had no intention of leaving, he had no choice but to wait. If he left on his own, he would probably be caught before he could walk far.
w.a.n.g Mian said to Little Niu obsequiously, “Little benefactor, the medicine is ready.”
w.a.n.g Mian still wanted to help, but Little Niu had already coldly said, “No need.”
w.a.n.g Mian retreated to the side and watched Little Niu pour the medicine. Then, he brought it to Elder Niu.
w.a.n.g Mian found a place to stay in the straw shed. On the surface, he was acc.u.mulating merit for himself, but in reality, he was afraid that he would be kidnapped by Li Yu’s people in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, the night was peaceful and nothing he was worried about happened.
“Child, bring the gla.s.s bottle over. This time, let Master give you the first tear.”
Elder Niu instructed softly.
Little Niu smiled brightly and obediently did as he was told.
Elder Niu smiled and said slowly, “Master’s life has been so bitter. It’s really painful to recall it. This is a bitter tear.”
Elder Niu closed his eyes. His voice was very soft and slow.
He had starved and froze for his entire life, even in his old age.
The only consolation was that after having Little Niu around, he no longer seemed to be afraid of any hardships. Every time he saw Little Niu’s smiling face, he would be able to withstand everything.
“Child, Master’s life has been full of hardships, but after 60 years of hardship, he gained a lot of sweetness. These days, when Master has you by his side. Even the cold wind has warmth. Master still remembers… When you were still very young, the first word you knew was Grandpa, you called me Grandpa. The first step you took, the first time you’ve eaten meat… There’s too much…”
“This is a bitter tear, but after it flowed out, Master’s life was only left with sweetness. Child, you must persevere and live on. After twelve years, welcome a new life again.”
Elder Niu opened his eyes and connected a teardrop with a gla.s.s bottle. He looked at Little Niu warmly and kindly.
Little Niu nodded with tears in his eyes, carefully closing the bottle and putting it away.
“Don’t worry, Master. Don’t worry about me.”
Little Niu choked and knelt in front of Elder Niu’s bed. The hand holding Elder Niu was trembling.
Elder Niu raised his hand strenuously and gently stroked Little Niu’s head. “Little Niu, Master is gone. Don’t be sad. You’ll make many friends in the future.”
This was the child he had raised personally, the flesh of his heart. He could sense the evil coming from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn’t expose it. This was Little Niu’s tribulation, which he had exchanged with his life.
Fortune and misfortune depended on each other.
He pretended not to know about Little Niu’s change. He only treated him as that compa.s.sionate child.
Elder Niu slowly fell asleep.
Little Niu retracted his hand and gently covered Elder Niu with the tattered blanket. He wiped away his tears and knelt in front of the bed for an entire day.
He didn’t eat or drink.
He did not sleep or rest.
w.a.n.g Mian found it strange that Su Xiaolu and the others did not interfere, but he knew in his heart that no matter what happened to these people, this was not something he could control.
On the morning of the third day, when w.a.n.g Mian woke up, he found that Elder Niu’s face was not quite right. It was pale, and there was no vitality at all.
Little Niu was still holding his hand. He observed for a while but didn’t see Elder Niu move his hand. He felt that Elder Niu should be dead.
w.a.n.g Mian quietly went out and knocked on the door.
Su Xiaolu came out and he whispered, “Young Master Su, something seems to have happened to that old man.”
Su Xiaolu’s expression was cold as she quickly entered the straw shed. She walked to Little Niu’s side and tested Elder Niu’s pulse first. Elder Niu had pa.s.sed away.
Little Niu didn’t eat or drink for the past few days. After guarding Elder Niu for less than three days, Elder Niu still went.
The smile on Little Niu’s face was gone, and there was only endless coldness.
Su Xiaolu held his hand and said, “Junior Brother, Uncle-Master is gone. Let’s send him away.”
Little Niu’s thoughts came back to him. He choked and replied, “Alright, thank you for helping me, Senior Sister.”
The coffin arrived quickly. It was a thin coffin, and it was from Old Wu.
Elder Niu left very peacefully. His sleeves were clean and he didn’t bring anything with him.
In the wild forest deep in the mountains, Little Niu personally dug a grave to bury him.
It was a very small grave with Old Niu’s tomb written on it. It was his final resting place.
The mountain of paper notes that Old Wu had moved over was slowly burning.
Little Niu and Su Xiaolu left quietly.
w.a.n.g Mian stole a few glances and wanted to follow, but when he looked at the two elders, he restrained himself. These two little ones would definitely come back.
They were acting very strange. It was not safe to follow them. He should serve the two elders.
Little Niu walked resolutely and stumbled along the way. Su Xiaolu wanted to help him, but Little Niu refused. His tone was already distant. “Senior Sister, you don’t have to help me. I’ll close my eyes soon. I’ll be really blind in the future. I have to walk these roads myself.”
He had to get used to being a blind man sooner or later.
When he executed that person, he and Su Xiaolu would part ways and never meet again.
“Okay, I won’t help.”
Su Xiaolu felt terrible and her voice was choked.
She had just realized that Little Niu was really determined. The tears that Elder Niu shed had already been poured away by him.
