My wife is too strong, Mr. Chu can't stand it

Chapter 28: Unkind Deception of the Elders

Chu Yuandong wiped his eyes and said, "But transportation was very troublesome at that time, and there were so many things. If we were found, no one would survive."

Chu Heng also thought of this, so he asked him, "How did you twenty people carry away so many things?"

Chu Yuandong sniffed and looked at Chu Heng, "Then you must promise not to tell anyone."

"Yeah, I promise!"

Chu Yuandong gestured to Chu Heng, "The teacher gave us a cloth bag, not big, just a very small one. But we can't leave it without it, and we have to drip blood into it every day. When we got here, we opened those bags, and the things came out one by one. It was like a fairy, very powerful.

There was also a lake. It used to be dry, but the master cast a spell to make it rain, and it was full overnight. However, we didn't remember anything about it the next day. We only knew that the master brought us here to hide something.

We only remembered this incident a few days before we died, but we didn't dare to talk about it. We died a few days later, and so many years have passed that we don't remember it clearly.

Chu Heng frowned and looked back at the tent. So Su Jin was not just someone who knew a little bit of mystical arts, but a very powerful one. But why would such a powerful person die?

There is no need to say much about the past. Even though there was war eighty years ago, Su Jin's skills were definitely enough to protect himself.

But Su Jin did not come to retrieve these things, making Chu Yuandong and the others wait for so many years. Does that mean that Su Jin died before the end of the war and has been sleeping until now?

Why did Su Jin die? Why did he sleep for so many years and have such vague memories?

Chu Heng had no way of knowing these things, but his intuition told him that Su Jin's death might not be simple.

He didn't say much, but continued to ask him, "You haven't told me why you are willing to follow Mr. Changye to escort the cultural relics."

Chu Yuandong smiled embarrassedly, "Master said that not everyone can use that cloth bag, so since Master asked me, I agreed."

"Is it because of the birth date?"

"Maybe. I'm not sure, but I think what the gentleman did was right, and I don't regret it."

Chu Heng did not give an answer to this question. Cultural relics are indeed precious, but are they really worth sacrificing so many lives?

If Su Jin could tell fortunes, could he have predicted that disaster?

Since he knew that, why did Su Jin still let these people stay and guard the things in the lake?

He didn't know, but he didn't know how to ask Su Jin, which was already annoying enough.

But Chu Heng really wanted to know, so he stared at Chu Yuandong, "Grandpa Zeng, don't you want to know why?"

"I asked that, but the gentleman refused to tell me."

"Maybe you can try asking again."

"Is it okay? Will the gentleman be unhappy?"

"Probably not."

Chu Yuandong thought about it and felt that Chang Ye was a very nice person and would not be angry. So he really went and floated into the tent under Chu Heng's escort, staring at Xiao Jin.

Until Su Jin woke up, Chu Yuandong immediately called out to him, "Sir, you're awake."

Su Jin hadn't slept well. He hadn't showered for several days in such a hot day, and he felt very uncomfortable. When he heard Chu Yuandong calling him, he raised his eyes and looked over, asking unhappily, "What are you doing here with me so early in the morning?"

"I just want to know why the master chose us. Is it because we are special?" Chu Yuandong's eyes sparkled. Even though he had been a ghost for more than eighty years, Chu Yuandong was still a good young man of twenty-two years old, looking silly.

Su Jin gave him a look of disdain, "Does it matter if I die early?"

Chu Yuandong was stunned. "What do you mean?"

Xiao Jin didn't understand either, but he had a bold guess, "Is it because they were going to die anyway?"

Su Jin yawned and asked Chu Yuandong, "Do you remember the cloth bag I gave you?"

Chu Yuandong nodded. "Sir, did you choose us because you knew we would die early?"

"Almost." Su Jin stretched out his hand and opened the door of the tent, whispering, "That's called a Qiankun bag. I can only hold five at most, and the capacity is not enough. But not everyone can fit those things in a Qiankun bag. You have special horoscopes and also have mortal dangers, but you didn't die on the battlefield."

Chu Yuandong was stunned, "But Captain Wang and the others are..."

"Wang Chong will die on the march, accidentally stepping off a cliff and falling, succumbing to his injuries. And you will be hit by a stray bullet in the chaos, dying quietly."

"We all died in accidents, there was no such grandiose death?"

"No." Su Jin lowered his eyes. "Your horoscope can withstand the spiritual energy I gave you. Although it is short-lived, it is enough to sustain you. I knew you would all die, so I let you stay, but I didn't know that you would still die if you stayed away from the chaotic world."

Chu Yuandong and Xiao Jin were completely silent. At this moment, they believed in fate. Perhaps no one could escape fate, and a predetermined death could not be changed.

Su Jin took a deep breath. "I don't know why. I could have resolved the situation when I calculated it for you, and those villagers didn't die. Perhaps it's because I presumptuously changed your fate that I ended up killing even more people."

"No! Don't think that!" Chu Yuandong said anxiously, "Instead of dying a cowardly death, it's better to die like that. At least we protected the country's history. We didn't embarrass you, nor did we disappoint your expectations. We kept it together."

Su Jin opened her lips but didn't know what to say, so she could only remain silent. However, it was this silence that made Chu Yuandong feel helpless. If he had known this earlier, he would not have asked.

He was about to say something when a tall figure appeared outside the tent and asked, "Could it be that because you were already dead by then, their fate also changed because of you?"

The man and two ghosts all looked at Chu Heng who was bending over as he walked in, somewhat confused.

Chu Heng walked in and sat down opposite Su Jin, explaining seriously, "Second Grandfather Zeng said that they only remembered it a few days before they died."

Su Jin frowned in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Since you erased their memories to avoid trouble, why do they remember? Did your body die, or did you do something that hurt your soul, so they remember those things.

Their fate was changed because of you. After you die, will their fate also be changed because of you?"

Su Jin felt that this explanation was inexplicably reasonable. Although he had always existed, he used a human body at that time. From a certain point of view, he was that person.

Just like he is Su Jin now, he borrowed this body and became Su Jin. People who should have died continued to live in this way, and the laws of nature could not imprison him, so he could change the fate of some people.

But if the body dies, the fate that has been changed by it will return to its original place.
