Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son
Chapter 148: No longer belongs to anyone
Ouyang Xia chuckled, "So the one he knelt on the street begging you to save was actually the child in his wife's belly, not his wife, right?"
"Yes, but also not right."
Gu Qinghe followed her example and lay down. "Perhaps he really hoped that I could save his wife. If it was just for the child, the midwife in the room would have said that she could save the child."
It's just that human nature is too complicated, and the feelings he had for his wife could not withstand the temptation of money and benefits.
And his wife wanted to leave him a child until her death.
Ouyang Xia suddenly looked at her, "Would you like to marry General Shao?"
"When everything is over, it will happen."
Even though life in her previous life was not easy, she was still not afraid of getting married, perhaps because she had seen the deep relationship between her parents since she was a child.
Of course, a big part of it is because this person is Shao Wei.
If it were someone else, she might not even consider it.
Ouyang Xia sighed, as if she was disappointed with her expectation of getting married. "It's hard to find a true friend. You said that men treat women as lightly as clothes that can be changed every day, so why can't women do the same?"
She spread her hands and said, "With your medical skills, you can make a good living for yourself even without relying on a man."
An idea struck her, and she propped herself up with her arms, "Would you like to consider taking you on a tour around the world to meet men of different styles from all over the world?"
Gu Qinghe covered his face and said, "Forget it, I don't have the courage."
Ouyang Xia let out a light sigh and stopped trying to persuade Gu Qinghe. Of course, in her opinion, Gu Qinghe had never experienced the happiness of men.
As long as you don't fall in love, you can always be free and easy.
When the wine gourd was empty, she suddenly said to Gu Qinghe, "I wish you good luck, but I think General Shao is different from other men."
It's a good thing.
It was winter now and the weather was already very cold. Even with Gu Qinghe wearing a cloak, he could still feel the cold wind penetrating into his body. However, Ouyang Xia was still wearing a bright red singlet, as if she was completely unaware of the cold.
She untied her cloak, moved closer to Ouyang Xia, covered her with half of it, and stared at the moon in the sky, "Thank you."
Ouyang Xia sneered, "I'm not cold. I'm used to martial arts. My body is like a furnace. I'm never afraid of the cold."
But she still didn't lift up her cloak, as if she wanted to draw some different warmth from the cloak on this cold night.
"I used to know a woman. She was very beautiful. Since she was a child, men had been staring at her with disgusting eyes. Her mother told her that only if she got married as soon as possible and had a husband to protect her, those men would not dare to stare at her."
"She is so stupid that she believes everything others say."
"Her childhood sweetheart couldn't afford the betrothal gift, so her parents planned to marry her off to a rich man who was old enough to be her father. She gave all the money she had saved from embroidering to her childhood sweetheart, and threatened to commit suicide to force her parents to marry him."
Ouyang Xia looked at Gu Qinghe, "When you heard this, do you think she is stupid?"
Although I don't know whose story she was talking about, the gloom in her eyes and the deep disgust were real. Gu Qinghe shook her head, "She didn't have much choice, did she? Maybe she already knew that her childhood sweetheart was not a reliable person, but she could only take a gamble."
"No!" Ouyang Xia's tone became excited, "She is just stupid, hopelessly stupid. Her sister tried to get her to leave that home, that cannibalistic place, but she refused. She is willing to give the rest of her life to a man who is unreliable and unwilling to even pay a betrothal gift, but she is unwilling to leave!"
"Isn't she stupid?!"
Gu Qinghe asked, "What happens after she leaves? She is beautiful, can she protect herself? Is she able to survive? Will her sister have to pay a price for her leaving?"
As if she was suddenly struck by thunder, Ouyang Xia felt that her vision was a little blurry, and her anger turned into sadness. "She always thinks so much, how can life be easy?"
She smiled bitterly and shook her head at Gu Qinghe. "The man she married was not a good guy. He changed after they got married. He beat and scolded her, and even used the money she earned to pay off his gambling debts. The man owed too much gambling debts, and the debt collector wanted to chop off his hands. Do you know what he did?"
The goodness of human nature is easy to imagine, but the evil of human nature is boundless. Everything that can be imagined is far less cruel than what these people can do.
Gu Qinghe already knew this, but when she heard Ouyang Xia's hoarse voice narrating all the experiences of a kind and beautiful woman, she couldn't help but feel a deep pain in her heart.
"Her husband gave her to a creditor to pay off his debts, and then sold her to the old man who was originally going to pay a large sum of money to marry her as a concubine. Her sister still wanted to save her, so she took her away from the old man's house late one night."
It was a very dark night. A few sparse stars fell quietly at some point. Raindrops as big as beans hit the two of them with a crackling sound. The two trembling souls snuggled up to each other.
She didn’t know whether the road ahead would be good or bad, but the younger sister was ecstatic. At least this time, she took her sister away.
Ouyang Xia's voice became increasingly hoarse. "Unfortunately, they were caught. The elder sister was sent back, and the younger sister had both legs broken. She was lying in bed unable to take care of herself. My parents took her away but thought she was no longer useful, so they gave her to an elderly widower as a second wife. She has had no relationship with the family since then."
"Do you know how she survived and when she died?"
Gu Qinghe found that she was trembling unconsciously.
If it were in her previous life, she would have thought Ouyang Xia was telling someone else's story when she heard her words. But after she died once and woke up again, she would not easily doubt anything in this world.
She is a very good listener, listening quietly and never interrupting.
Ouyang Xia continued.
"She never died while giving herself to the elderly widower. She never died while lying on the bed every day basking in the sunlight coming in through the dilapidated window." Ouyang Xia laughed, "Until one day her sister came and carried her on her back, heading towards the cliff at the back of the mountain."
When the two sisters fell off the cliff hugging each other, there was only one thought in her mind: How great! Their bodies would be shattered into pieces under the cliff, belonging to the vultures circling in the sky, to the jackals foraging on the ground, and to all those animals that were considered ferocious.
It just doesn't belong to anyone anymore.
