Chapter Sixty: Illness

  "Brother Ding, don't, don't kill anyone, today is our grand wedding day, we can't have bloodshed and killing."

  Ding Dian's killing intent was palpable, and he was about to make his move. Ling Xuehua's expression changed slightly as she quickly grabbed Ding Dian's hand, holding him back and saying:

  Ling Shuanghua's words made Ding Dian pause for a moment, and after sobering up a bit, he thought about it and felt that what she said was reasonable. It's unlucky to kill someone on the day of one's own wedding.

  "Alright, I won't kill anyone today."

  Patting Ling Xuehua's hand in comfort, Ding Dian agreed.

  "Zhao Ji, today is my wedding day, it's inauspicious to see blood, give me some face and let them go, how about that?"

  Turning his head to look at Zhao Ji, Ding Dian begged.

  This wicked man, in Zhao Yi's mind, would absolutely not let go of him. As for the taboo that one cannot kill on a wedding night, he wouldn't care about it at all. However, Ding Tian's request was something he couldn't ignore.

  "Alright, for the sake of Brother Ding's face, I'll spare their lives for now."

  He nodded slightly to Ding Dian, agreeing to it. Zhao Ji turned his head around, his gaze flashing like lightning as he looked at the group of bandits and said in a low voice: "Since Brother Ding has spoken up for you, I'll let you off this time. Scram! If any of you dare set foot in Zengjiavillage again, you won't be so lucky."

  "Let's go."

  With a sinister gaze, he shot Zhao Ji a venomous and resentful look, then called out to the gang of thieves, "Big Brother!", preparing to make their escape.

  The leader of the bandits, those two robust men with third-rate martial arts skills, were just about to mount their horses when Ding Tian suddenly jumped forward and blocked their path. In a cold tone, he said: "You can leave, but these two horses must stay."

  This place, Zengjia Village, is remote and lacks means of transportation. There are only a few donkeys available for riding, and even if you go to Qiaomu Town, where there are more things, you still need to use water buffalo as a means of transportation, which is very inconvenient.

  Now that he had finally met two fine horses, Zhao would certainly not be polite and if he didn't keep them, it would be somewhat unjustifiable.

  Zhao Ji cut off the horse halfway, making the faces of the two strong men even darker. However, they only dared to glare at him with hatred in their eyes and didn't dare fart, leading a group of younger brothers to flee in disarray.

  "Haha, all those who ruined the atmosphere have left. Brother Ding, Sister-in-law Ding, your wedding banquet can continue now."

  He patted Ding Dian's shoulder and laughed loudly, saying:

  "Fellow villagers, those rascals have been chased away. Don't let what just happened ruin the mood. Today is Brother Ding's big wedding day, everyone should drink and make merry. Come on, let's keep drinking!"

  Earlier, Ding Dian had gone table by table toasting, and after one round, although he hadn't gotten drunk, he was almost there. This time, in order to liven up the atmosphere, Zhao Ji could only take matters into his own hands, also going table by table to toast.

  Just now, Ding Dian's prowess was seen by everyone in the village, and it was easy to subdue a group of bandits, making them less fearful of those fierce bandits. Then, Zhao Ji adjusted the atmosphere, and soon the wedding feast became lively again, as if nothing had happened just before.

  One night of feasting, it wasn't until the late hours that the wedding banquet finally came to an end. Ding Tian and Ling Xianghua went to their bridal chamber, while the others dispersed, all returning home in a drunken state.

  After the wedding, Ding Dian and Ling Xianghua's days were sweet. Perhaps because they had a family and more responsibilities, Ding Dian volunteered to go to school to teach martial arts to the village children, which was exactly what Zhao Ji wanted.

  Ling Shuanghua is also a standard virtuous wife and good mother, oh no, the virtuous wife is still okay, as for the good mother, since they are newlyweds and have not had children yet, it's still unverified.

  As a virtuous wife, she managed the household well. The wild boar that Zhao Ji raised was not fattened to death, but it did not reach the point of being plump and healthy either.

  But when that wild boar was taken over by Ling Shuanghua, in just a few days, it almost changed into a different one, initially reaching the level of being fat and healthy.

  After experiencing life and death, Dian Dian is now content with the ordinary, willing to spend his life with Ling Shuanghua in Zengjiavillage, living a fairy-tale-like life. Unexpectedly, fate plays tricks on people.

  Less than half a month after marriage, Ling Shuanghua's body gradually became weak and her energy was depleted, her condition worsening day by day. Judging from the situation, she seemed to have not much time left.

  It was only with great difficulty that they had escaped the troubles of the world and could spend their lives together, but who would have thought that such a change would occur? For a moment, Ding Tian's heart was as if dead.

  Ling Fenghua's illness had been seen by Song Yuanqiao, Yuan Chengzhi and Tian Hong, but they were all at a loss, unable to find out the cause of her illness.

  Like Song Yuanqiao, Yuan Chengzhi and Tian Hong, these martial arts masters are not only skilled in their craft, but also have a deep understanding of medicine, far surpassing that of ordinary doctors.

  Three people watched, all of them unable to do anything. Ding Dian, however, refused to give up, not that he was unwilling to give up, but because he couldn't bear to watch Ling Shuanghua die before his eyes.

  Under desperation, Ding Dian took Ling Shuanghua to Qiaomu Town in search of a doctor to cure her, but no one was able to heal her.

  "Frost, how could this be? We finally met in the heavenly realm and became husband and wife. I was thinking that we would love each other for a lifetime, have some kids, and enjoy the joys of family life. But why, why is it like this?"

  Holding Ling Shuanghua's hands, Ding Dian was filled with worry and sadness, as well as resentment towards heaven, his tone full of unwillingness.

  "Brother Ding, don't be sad. Xianghua can accompany Brother Ding for over ten days and become your wife, it's already satisfying enough. Since heaven doesn't want us to be together for a lifetime, why must we force it? Let's just follow the fate of life and death."

  A faint, desolate smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Ling Shuanghua's voice was extremely weak as she spoke, and her words seemed to be quite open-minded, but the reluctant gaze in her eyes revealed her deep affection for Ding Tian.

  "Is Brother Ding here?"

  Just as the two were talking about life and death in a desolate tone, a knock at the door suddenly came from outside, and Zhao Ji's familiar voice rang out.

  "Is it Zhao Ji? Come in."

  Ding Dian responded with a loud voice.

  Familiar with the door, entering the house, seeing Ding Dian and Ling Xianghua leaning together, as well as the faintly visible tear marks on Ling Xianghua's face, Zhao Ji guessed something.

  "Brother Ding, come out for a moment, I have something important to tell you."

  Standing in the courtyard, Zhao Ji called out to Ding Dian.

  Seeing Zhao's solemn expression and serious face, Ding Dian knew that the matter was definitely not small. Otherwise, with Zhao's stability, he wouldn't be like this.

  "Fenghua, wait for me for a moment, Zhao Ji is looking for me, it must be something important, I'll go and come back right away."

  Gently patting Ling Xuehua's hand, Ding Dian said softly.

  "Uh-huh, you go ahead, don't keep Zhao brothers waiting."

  Ling Frost said softly in Chinese.

  For Zhao Ji, Ling Shuanghua has always been grateful in her heart. After all, she was able to be with Ding Dian and become his wife, thanks to Zhao Ji.
