Even after he sat down, Gu Junshan was still coughing non-stop and his face was flushed red. Jia Wen kept pounding his back, but it was useless. After coughing a few times, Gu Junshan spat out a large mouthful of blood.
”Old master, don't scare me …” Seeing that Gu Junshan was crying so uncontrollably, Jia Wen covered his mouth with his hands and a painful expression appeared on his face. With a few more intense coughs, blood started to flow out from between his fingers and he grabbed onto Gu Junshan's hands with his own hands. Soon, the blood stained Jia Wen's hands red.
After he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, he motioned for Jia Wen and his senior brother to lie down on his back. With his dying breath, Gu Junshan said, ”I don't have much time left, Ju Yi, you are a good man, Jia Wen, you have been through a long and tiring life with me, and when I'm near the end of my life I still have a lot of money left, so I can't give you anything.”
Jia Wen said, ”Master, I'm not bitter at all. I can always stay by your side … ”I …” Jia Wen was speechless, he could see that his relationship with Gu Junshan was very deep. It was rare for Gu Junshan to have such a loyal and devoted life, but unfortunately, his son was not worthy of being a man.
The master and servant relationship between the two of them was intertwined with that of a brother. With a smile, Gu Junshan tried his best to reach out his hand to touch Jia Wen's face, but when he did so in the air, his hand froze and did not move. He fell down and did not have a trace of anger on him anymore. ”Master...” The voice was soft, as if afraid to wake him.
The Senior Martial Brother stepped forward and gently closed Gu Junshan's eyes before saying to Jia Wen, ”He's gone.” Jia Wen remained silent. His gaze was unfocused as he looked at the sleeping Gu Junshan. Suddenly, he reached behind his ear and tore off a layer of the skin on his face.
The next scene shocked us even more. After tearing off this layer of skin, Jia Wen had already turned into a handsome middle-aged woman with a stern expression. Although he was quite old, one could tell from his facial features that he was a peerless lady when he was young.
At this moment, Jia Wen's voice had turned into a clear and cold female voice, ”The old master is dead, I don't need to continue pretending. I've lived my whole life for this person, if he were to die, what's the point of me living.” After which, he stood up and hit his head against the wall.
When she said this, I already realized that Senior Brother grabbed hold of her. Jia Wen didn't struggle, but just silently shed tears. Facing Jia Wen who had suddenly become a girl, Senior Brother realized that it was not good for him to hug her in his arms and gestured for Senior Sister to come over. Senior Sister came over and pulled Jia Wen over to sit down.
It turned out that Jia Wen was the child of a poor family, and his parents valued their sons and daughters more than his daughters, but they only gave birth to a girl like Jia Wen. Jia Wen was the child of a poor family, but his parents valued his son more than his daughter, and they always treated her like a boy.
Jia Wen's parents were so focused on the gambling table that they didn't even want to eat or drink, even taking out the bowls for their meals at home. As a result of the four words' family members', the creditor brought someone to the door and beat up Jia Wen's parents, breaking a few ribs on his father. Her mother's legs were broken, so the two of them didn't gamble anymore.
Jia Wen was just 16 years old that year, and when the young her looked at his ferocious creditor crying as he beat his men, he didn't even dare to make a sound. After crying, he would go outside to borrow food to cook for his parents who were lying on the bed, and after a few days, no one else in the area would be willing to lend her food. Jia Wen would kowtow from door to door to ask for food, but no one else would even open the door for her.
Today, Jia Wen finished cooking porridge for his parents. Looking at the missing bowl filled with only a few grains of rice, it was no different from a bowl of water. Jia Wen really didn't know how to cook it, or rather, he simply couldn't.
It was a gorgeous woman who came in. Jia Wen clearly remembered the black mole on the woman's eyebrows. After coming in, she patted his head affectionately and said, ”Such a cute girl, how could she be so dirty?” In her eyes, this woman was simply like a goddess that descended from heaven. Jia Wen did not know what to say, so he had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow to his, and just as he was about to kneel down, the woman held him and let him stay for a while. She had something to say to Jia Wen's parents.
The woman obediently walked out, and the woman said something to her parents. After a while, the woman called her in, and happily told Jia Wen that she would call her mother in the future, and that she would take him out to see the world, and that as long as she followed him, she wouldn't have to worry about food or clothes, and wouldn't have to worry about others burning down her house. She would help pay back the debts of her parents, and Jia Wen almost couldn't believe it, until the woman took Jia Wen's hand and was about to take him away, she finally reacted, Jia Wen came to her mother's side, saying that he didn't want to leave her parents.
