Chapter 60: Wanting to go home

  Want to go home!! Favorites!

  Upon hearing Yan Jing's question, Xiao Lan said with a pleased expression, "Sister Yan, you don't know that at the time, Cheng might have been in a hurry to leave. He didn't even wait for the middle-aged woman to open the door of room 210 before heading towards the stairs. I was also going to leave, but my reaction was half a beat slower. The middle-aged woman's sharp cry made me reflexively look back at the room."

  "This isn't right, I saw you lying naked on the bed at a glance. Hmm, to be honest, your skin is really good, Yan Jie! How do you take care of it? Teach me!"

  "Let's get down to business!" Yan Jie gave Xiao Lan a stern look, "Are you really sure?"

  "Definitely, definitely, definitely!" Xiao Lan also gave Yan Jing a white eye. "When I saw it was you at the time, I rushed in and ran to the bedside, grabbed the down jacket beside your pillow and covered your body with it. Sister Yan, don't worry, after covering you up, I even sneaked a peek at the door, until then, Cheng Que appeared at the door. What do you think he could see?"

  Upon hearing Xiao Lan's affirmative answer, Yan Jie's heart was overjoyed, and the original awkward feeling in her heart instantly vanished without a trace.

  "Xiao Lan, thank you!" Yan Jie said in a low voice.

  "Uh-huh, you'd better thank me properly!" Xiao Lan said innocently, resting her chin on her hand and thinking for a long time before continuing, "How should I be thanked? Uh, let me think... Ah! Got it! You have to promise your body to me! Only by promising your body can you repay the kindness I've shown you! Yan Jie..."

  "It's true, a life-saving favor, perhaps... really only..."

  "Hey, Yan Jie, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Lan pouted and said in a bad mood, "I really don't understand, what's so good about that Wu Zhengye anyway?

  "Look at you, and our Cheng team can't be compared at all. In terms of temperament, it's not even on the same level. Just talking about job stability, our Cheng team is already a team leader before the age of 30, but what about your Wu Zhengye? No fixed work, people in their line are always wandering around, claiming to be traveling through the red dust, but actually, they have no home to return to!"

  "He has a heart of great kindness and great love!" Yan Jie said firmly, "This alone is enough!"

  "What's this 'great kindness and great love' you're talking about? It sounds like something those monks always say!" Little Lan was stunned.

  "He's different!" Yan Jing smiled, and her smile was truly beautiful. Even though she looked haggard at the moment, this smile made people feel a pang of sympathy. "Among all the people in the world, how many can truly possess great kindness and great love? Xiaolan, those monks you mentioned earlier, most of them just pay lip service to these virtues, but how many can actually put them into practice?"

  "Has your Wu Zhengyi achieved that?" Xiaolan asked in a confrontational tone, "Then what has he done for others? What has he done for society?"

  "This..." Xianglan's words really stumped Yanjing, Wu Zhengye's great kindness and love, Yanjing only felt it, how would she know what kind of things Wu Zhengye had done in the past?

  "Hehe, nothing to say now!" Xiaolan suddenly became happy. "I said Yan Jie, you are indeed 'beauty is in the eyes of the lover'. I told you earlier but you didn't believe me! The monks on TV all said that a monk who truly possesses great kindness and great love will ascend to heaven after achieving enlightenment. Isn't Wu Zhengyi still in the mortal world? If he hasn't become an immortal, then what qualifications does he have to possess great kindness and great love?"

  "Ah!" Yan Jing was stunned!

  "Alright, alright, I won't talk about those useless things with you anymore." Xiaolan pouted her mouth, still excited about her victory. "Yan Jie, take a rest first, I'll make a call to ask about the situation at the hospital. You know, it's really strange that Team Leader Cheng, who is so powerful, was knocked unconscious by your Wu Zhengye. Ah, yes! It must be an ambush!"

  Yan Jing finally came to her senses, and just in time, she heard the two words "sneak attack" whispered in her ear. She couldn't help but say silently, "Xiao Lan, if he really wanted to harm Captain Cheng, even emergency treatment wouldn't be able to revive him! The only way is to find him!"

  But she didn't quite hear this sentence, at this time Xiao Lan had already dialed the hospital's phone number......

  Seeing this, Yan Jing shook her head and muttered, "I hope... I hope Cheng Zhong is okay. If Cheng Zhong really can't wake up, then it proves that he's really angry..."

  Five minutes later, Xiao Lan came to Yan Jing's bedside with a worried face and said, "Sister Yan, just now the hospital said that Commander Cheng has been unable to wake up, I don't know what's going on. The examination results showed that Commander Cheng's body did not suffer any harm, and all bodily functions are normal, but he can't wake up, it's like he's always sleeping...... This, won't Wu Zhengyi's evil skills be real?"

  Upon hearing this, Yan Jing's eyebrows furrowed deeply, and after a long while, she let out a sigh, "It seems... he really is angry..."

  "Yan Jie, we didn't mean to!" Xiao Lan said anxiously. "What should we do now? Yan Jie, you think of a way quickly, he's your boyfriend, you must be able to find him!"

  "Alas..." Yan Jie shook her head, "I'm also not sure if he's there or not now."

  After a moment of silence, Yan Jing turned her head and looked at the darkening sky outside, saying, "Xiao Lan, help me up. We're going to find him."

  Wu Zhengxie has been wandering aimlessly in H city since he left Yihong Building a few hours ago. The words he said when leaving were quite carefree, but his mood has been low ever since...

  In a daze, he went to Binjiang Road, where he washed the bloodstains on his face and fingers with icy river water, and then used the river water to wipe clean his dusty clothes. Afterwards, he came to the pedestrian street, and in a quiet alleyway at the corner of the pedestrian street, he curled up and fell asleep, until nightfall arrived...

  The pain on his body made him clench his teeth even when he was sleeping, but he persisted stubbornly. When he woke up, the pain on his body miraculously eased a lot. Then, he slowly walked to a small restaurant and had a bowl of tofu rice there.

  In the dark of night, the sky's auspicious snow fell again, landing on Wu Zhengye's face, icy and cold. In this city where snow is rare, it has been falling for seven or eight days in a row this year. Does this mean that next year's crops will have a bumper harvest?

  In his daze, his figure gradually disappeared into the dark night...

  As he passed by a small shop selling cigarettes, he bought himself a pack of 'Shancheng'. As he smoked, his heart was empty. The usual seemingly worldly-wise Wu Dashi was nowhere to be seen, and he wandered aimlessly in H city like a walking corpse, driven only by bodily instincts...

  Unconsciously, he came to a bridge again, standing on this familiar bridge, looking at the rolling waters of the Fujiang River, he was stunned, and this stun lasted for several hours!

  In these few hours, hundreds of pedestrians passed by him, and countless vehicles drove by, but no one came to ask about him, and not a single car stopped for him. He seemed to be redundant, this city... he felt so alienated, without any sense of belonging, without any feeling of home.

  "Alas!" Wu Zhengye finally let out a sigh, "It's hard to be human, and even harder to be a good person!" With a bitter smile, he shook his head, and with blurry eyes, gazed up at the dark night sky, shouting loudly, "Master, forgive me! Forgive your disciple for being unable to fulfill your last wish... I miss home, I want to go back home..."

  At this moment, Wu Zhengye thought of Xinghua Village and the simple girl in Xinghua Village. He smiled with tears in his eyes, "Xiao Juan... Xiao Juan... I'm sorry, I promised you that after making money, I will come back, if you are willing, I will marry you, take care of you for a lifetime, give you a happy life!

  But now... Alas, I am a total failure! I can't even guarantee my own three meals a day, how can I have the ability to marry you?

  Wu Zhengxie shook his head self-deprecatingly, let out another sigh, and then headed in the direction of the city's southern public cemetery.

  At night, the management of the cemetery is very strict, but Wu Zhengye's luck was exceptionally good, and he didn't see the administrator appear twice when he came to the cemetery at night.

  Then, he easily came to the grave of Yang Yongmeng, knelt down on both knees, and after a moment of silence, Wu Zhengye finally spoke out, "Master, your unaccomplished disciple has come to bid farewell to you. The disciple misses home and wants to go back and take a look."

  As soon as the words fell, a cold wind suddenly swept in, and Wu Zhengye couldn't help but tighten his down jacket. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a lifeless voice coming from behind him.

  "Go home, it's good to go back......" Wu Zhengye was shocked and suddenly stood up from the ground, taking a step forward, turning his body around fiercely. In this instant, his right hand had already pinched out a finger seal, which was the "Driving Spirit Curse" of the Mao Shan Taoist method!

  It was just then that he turned around and was about to let go of his finger when he suddenly saw the appearance of the person who had spoken earlier.

  He was a man in his sixties, with a thick cotton-padded jacket that almost wrapped up his entire body, making it impossible to discern his figure, but the aged face was etched with decades of memories.

  The old man held a flashlight in his hand, the dim light constantly moving back and forth on Wu Zhengye's face. After a moment, the old man's voice without any anger sounded again, "Poor child, go home, let your father's lingering attachment to this world disappear, let him rest in peace and reincarnate, tell him, what's past is past..."

  As he spoke, the old man turned around, ignoring Wu Zhengyi, but his voice still carried far away, "Buddhism teaches cause and effect, Taoism discusses fate and predestination, good and evil will ultimately be rewarded, who can contend with heaven..."
