My boyfriend is not a human being? It’s over. I love him even more!

Chapter 146: The Man with the Baby Seeks for His Wife (26)

Two hundred years ago, the plague came suddenly and violently. In just a short period of time, every household hung up white lanterns and the sounds of crying and shouting never stopped. Those who were still alive wanted to escape, but high walls had been built around the area within a hundred miles, and there were people guarding outside that would never let anyone inside escape.

They became abandoned beings and could only wait for death slowly.

One day, a Taoist priest stepped into this place where corpses were everywhere. He shook his head and sighed at the tragic scene before him, but there were still people who were barely alive, with a desire to survive in their eyes.

He thought he should find a way to save these people.

After repeated divination, he saw a turning point and walked to the end of the village, where there was a simple wooden house. In the air filled with a foul smell, the lonely house stood there, but inside it revealed the breath of living people.

The Taoist priest opened the door.

Inside the house, the body of an adult lying on the ground was covered with only a rag, and there was a pool of dried blood on the ground, indicating that the man's death was not due to illness.

The Taoist priest walked into the house, looked around, and finally walked into a dusty bedroom. He squatted down and saw two children under the bed.

They were skinny and the skin on their faces had already shown signs of ulceration from the plague. When they were discovered by the Taoist priest while hiding, they could not help but huddle together and tightly hold each other's hands.

They are twins, and no one knows who is older or younger. They are the same age, have the same appearance, and look at people with a wary look.

Their mother had been one of the first to die from the disease, and their father had been infected not long ago.

This is an isolated city and no one will come to rescue them. Even if they try their best to hold on for life, they will slowly suffocate to death in pain as their bodies become festering.

The desperate father had a premonition that his death was approaching, and before he lost the ability to move, he looked at his two children.

In such a desperate situation, adults cannot survive, and children who lose the protection of their parents will eventually die.

The father hardened his heart, went to the kitchen, picked up a knife, and slowly walked towards the two children.

But in the end, he was the one lying in a pool of blood.

The Taoist priest said to the hiding children: "Do you want to live?"

The two children answered in unison: "Yes."

Even though they are now sick and their skin is ulcerated and painful, they still long to breathe and do not want to die. They want to live. Although they are small, they have a stronger desire to survive than adults.

The Taoist priest said: "I have a way to keep you alive."

There were clearly two children in front of him, but he only said "you" instead of "you guys".

Two gray children crawled out from under the bed. They were twins, like mirror images, with identical height and appearance. The way they looked at people was exactly the same, and even the traces of the disease left on their faces were exactly the same.

"You are the best extremely yin bodies. With a little modification, you can contain the yin and foul air in the world. I have a method to create a medicine boy. Then everyone's illness will disappear. But..." The Taoist looked at the two children and said softly: "Who should I choose to help me with this?"

The two children looked at each other and silently saw their own reflections in each other's eyes.

If one is destined to choose one child to sacrifice from the two, it will be a huge psychological burden for the person making the choice, and even a Taoist priest cannot make the choice easily.

So, the Taoist priest said: "Then it is up to you to decide."

They were put into a small forest and three copper coins were placed in their hands.

The Taoist priest told them, "If one comes up heads, then there is still a chance. If two come up heads, then there is still a chance for recovery. If three come up heads, then it must be God telling you that this is the right choice."

"Listen carefully, the next choice is in your hands."

"The child who goes out first has the right to choose."

This is a mountain forest where you can't tell the direction. As the number of corpses in the city increases, more crows stay in the forest. They stand on the branches, blending into the dark night, as if waiting for a new smell of decay to appear so they can eat a bite of rotten meat. He said, "What is the medicine boy he is talking about?"

He replied: “I don’t know.”

He added: "He said that the one who walks out first has the possibility of choice, which means..."

He continued, "The person who walks out last will be abandoned."

"Why does Dad want to kill us?"

"I don't know either." The child continued, "I still remember that Little Stone's parents would rather starve to death than leave food for him."

"Yeah, I envy Little Stone so much."

"Do you want to?"

"what?"

“All the preference that others have for themselves.”

"want to."

"I want too."

The two boys were chatting intermittently. They were holding hands all the time and walking forward aimlessly. However, the paths in the forest were complicated and they walked for a long time but were just going in circles.

"I'm tired."

"I'm hungry."

"If we keep going like this, we will surely die in the forest."

"I don't want to die."

"I don't want to die either."

They looked at the copper coins lying on their palms in tacit understanding. They threw them into the air and when they fell into their palms, two of them were facing forward and one was facing backward.

But they were not looking at the same path.

When they looked at the road the other party was interested in, they tossed the coins again, and all three turned up the other side, which indicated that the road the other party was going to take was not the one they should take.

"I don't want to be separated from you."

"I don't want to either."

So, they could only huddle together behind a tree. Their bodies leaning against each other could keep them warm in the cold night, but the temperature was still dropping. How long could they, who were hungry and tired, hold on?

The two children snuggled together and fell into a slight sleep due to exhaustion, but they were soon awakened by the cold wind.

"I had a very strange dream. I dreamed that I put on a Taoist robe and became a Taoist priest. I could slay demons and exorcise monsters. Many people were very respectful when they saw me."

"I also had a strange dream." But the child lowered his head and did not say what he dreamed about. He murmured, "Fusheng, will all our dreams come true?"

"I don't know." The boy named Fusheng said, "The Taoist priest said that we have a very special physique. Maybe what we dream about will come true. Chang Yu, what did you dream about?"

Chang Yu pursed his lips and said, "I don't remember."
