Chapter 364 Meeting a Fairy (I)

Forty-nine-year-old Liu Guiying has worked in the street office for many years. She has a big booming voice, but she is actually a very nice old lady who is somewhat refined in her rough way.

She was widowed early and worked hard to raise her girl who is now studying at the Academy of Fine Arts. Her daughter is very good at painting and looks very beautiful. Everyone in the neighborhood says she is really blessed. In fact, every family has a difficult experience. She only talks about the good things to others. Can she complain to outsiders about the difficulties of raising her daughter and the high tuition fees of the Academy of Fine Arts?

But no matter how hard it is, G.o.d always treats kind people nicely. After years of hard work, her daughter was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts. The tuition is high, but Liu Guiying’s daughter is really talented in painting.

Everything is fine until Liu Guiying was diagnosed with diabetes three years ago.

It is a troublesome disease. It will not kill people right away but will always be a money pit. She needs to always pay attention to what she eats, not to mention getting insulin shots all the time. The monthly drug bill is a large problem although a part of it can be reimbursed by medical insurance. Her daughter’s high tuition remains to be a problem. Having only one bread-earner Liu Guiying, this family is in a very tough situation.

At the beginning, she was still strong and remained in treatment. However, she had complications with her vision the year before. She would be in danger if she did not remove her eyes.

Liu Guiying felt like the sky had fallen and everything was lost.

She didn’t want to be blind, nor did she want to hold her daughter back. If her two eyeb.a.l.l.s had been removed, it would have meant that she would retire because of illness immediately. They couldn’t afford the tuition fees of the Academy of Fine Arts with her retirement income alone.

Being blind, or waiting for death?

Liu Guiying has been a widow for most of her life. She didn’t want to die before her only daughter succeeding in her career and having her own family. But if she chose to live, she could never see this bright world again. She had trouble sleeping during that time. The doctor also said even if her eyeb.a.l.l.s were removed, it didn’t mean she would stay cured and she still needed to take medicine for a long time—At that time she could only rely on her retirement pay. Could her daughter’s life and her own treatment both be guaranteed?

Liu Guiying told her daughter studying at the capital about it when she couldn’t hide it anymore.

Liu Xinyou hurried back from the capital overnight. Looking at her mother who had lost a lot of weight, they cried miserably in each other’s arms. After crying, Liu Xinyou made the final decision immediately: removing the eyes to save her mother’s life!

She had some talents in painting and usually consigned some of her work in the gallery. But people with talent are always a bit arrogant. The price was high, however, few people would buy a little-known painter’s painting with a high price. It’s common to only sell one in a few months. As for computer drafting, she had always looked down on it as a person who learned to paint.

The part-time job which she had always looked down on was a life-saving straw at this time. Liu Xin comforted Liu Guiying and asked her to relax and contact the hospital to prepare for surgery. She returned to the capital to sell paintings and did part-time job to raise money.

Liu Guiying was convinced. She would undergo the surgery and never see this world so she thought she needed to draw a beautiful ending. She had only one regret in her life. Her husband who died young had said that he would take her to the Dongting for boating. Before he fulfilled his promise, this old-fas.h.i.+on artistic youth pa.s.sed away at his young age.

She wanted to see the landscape of Dongting for his husband.

Taking it as the last trip in her life, Liu Guiying went to Yueyang Tower and watched the vast Dongting. Her worries about the surgery had dissipated a lot. Liu Guiying heard other tourists saying the incense of Mount Jun was extremely magical. She bought a ferry ticket and went all the way to Mount Jun.

She didn’t expect there were so many tourists in a small Mount Jun. It’s so crowded and she was a little disappointed. When she was in Xiangfei Temple, she heard the most magical place was Liu Yi Well. The lucky charm light of Mount Jun had come up from this well. Thinking that everything would be unknown after her surgery, she actually bought some incense to wors.h.i.+p it with a devout heart.

She was praying to the Bodhisattva of great mercy for blessing Liu Xinyou to complete her studies successfully and have a happy future. When Liu Guiying put incense sticks to wors.h.i.+p devoutly, she was having the idea that “you’d better trust it than doubt it”. However, something unexpected happened and she became a true believer.

At that time, she finished burning incense and was about to leave. A girl who looked really extraordinary and high-ranking asked her what the year and the time was now. Liu Guiying didn’t think much at that time. She just thought young people now were really confused and she was also nagging for a little while.

The girl disappeared in a blink of an eye. Liu Guiying felt very strange for a moment and it suddenly rained above Mount Jun. The golden spirit rain fell into Liu Guiying’s eyes and her blurred vision seemed to be clearer.

She heard the crowd was roaring, saying something about spirit rain. Liu Guiying’s heart was pounding. Were there real G.o.ds, Buddha, and fairies in this world? No one was sure about it. But hadn’t the existence of cultivators been confirmed? Now her daughter Liu Xinyou usually searched various videos taken by others on the internet, and people of Huaxia all wanted to know more about immortals—She didn’t know the effect of this spirit rain but maybe it wouldn’t do any harm?

Liu Guiying just wanted to make every possible effort. She opened her mouth regardless of everything else and held her hands to catch the golden rain falling from the sky. It was sweet with a medicinal scent, which might really be a good thing.
