I am reborn and refuse to be a sickly rich woman

Chapter 411: The prayer card left by Yao Mingyue, a three-year contract. (9k please subscribe!)

Honeymoon.

An Nuannuan lay in Xu Musen's arms and took out her hand-painted picture album.

Grasslands, snow-capped mountains, deserts, rainforests…

There are modern cities as well as mountain jungles.

"Are these the places you want to go?" Xu Musen asked as he looked at the paintings.

An Nuannuan raised her head and looked at him: "What about you? Don't you want to go to these places?"

Xu Musen looked at these vivid ink paintings that looked like photographs.

To be honest, he has never had a good trip in these two lifetimes. In his previous life, he was thinking about going out for a honeymoon trip with Yao Mingyue.

But this little yandere with such a strong possessiveness was afraid that he would be picked up by other vixens if he went out, so even when they went out to travel, they would contract the beach and the like, wishing that there were only the two of them within a ten-mile radius.

When it comes to traveling, it can be annoying if there are too many people, but if there are fewer people there, there will be less of the everyday life.

Xu Musen looked at the scenes with different views.

Of course he wanted to go and see it, especially with someone he liked.

I thought about it in my last life, and I think about it in this life.

I just don't know if I will have the chance to go with Yao Mingyue in the future...

Xu Musen was silent for a moment. At the very least, he would go and take a look for her first.

Xu Musen looked down at An Nuannuan's expectant eyes. The two of them had never traveled alone before.

If I have to say who I owe, the only person I owe in these two lives is the girl in front of me.

Xu Musen gently pinched her cheek: "I listen to my wife."

An Nuannuan hummed happily.

"But before I go, I want to go somewhere first."

Xu Musen closed the album in An Nuannuan's hand: "Do you want to go with me?"

An Nuannuan put the album aside, raised her hand with the diamond ring on it, and softly placed it in Xu Musen's hand: "Listen to your husband~"

Xu Musen smiled knowingly and took her hand.

Just leave.

……

midnight.

Luoyang, Laojun Mountain.

Although it is spring, the temperature in the mountains is still very low and the mountainside is still covered with snow.

Xu Musen and An Nuannuan came to the foot of the mountain wearing down jackets.

Looking up, you can see the Nantianmen, Shili Fenzong, and Jinding Pavilion looming on the top of the mountain in the distance...

As one of the few famous mountains in the plains and one of the representative places of Taoism, it always attracts many people who come here to make wishes and pray for blessings.

“Have you been here before?”

Xu Musen asked An Nuannuan.

An Nuannuan shook her head: "No, my mother said before that when our daughter is older and can walk, we will go hiking together. Later... my legs never had the chance..."

An Nuannuan didn't say anything else. She looked up at the top of the mountain. The black top of the mountain was faintly shiny.

The mountains in the plain are not very high compared to those in Sichuan, but the flatter the place is, the more it gives people the feeling that they can see the whole world.

"Let's go, this time we'll go together."

Xu Musen held her hand, and the warm touch dispelled the coldness in the mountains.

"Uh-huh!"

Heading towards the top of the mountain!

We climbed in the early morning, this time is specifically for watching the sunrise, and there are still many people climbing the mountain.

An Nuannuan's physical condition was not very good. After all, she had been sitting in a wheelchair for so long that she was already out of breath after walking for a while.

"Want to take a break?"

Xu Musen patted her back gently.

"call…"

An Nuannuan took a few deep breaths and shook her head: "It's okay, I just haven't moved like this for a long time. It's actually quite good. It's been a long time since I really felt that my legs still exist."

An Nuannuan calmed her breathing, her fair skin now looked rosy and endearing.

"it is good."

Xu Musen reached out his hand to wipe the tiny beads of sweat from the tip of her nose, then slowed down his pace and followed her.

Halfway up the mountain.

An Nuannuan's fair face was as red as a steamed egg that had just come out of the steamer.

She was panting and her legs had begun to tremble slightly. Xu Musen helped her sit aside to rest.

"Let's take a rest."

"But I just saw the road sign and I'm only halfway there..."

An Nuannuan pursed her lips, but her legs felt like they were filled with lead and they trembled with every step.

"There is a cable car in front that takes you directly to the top of the mountain."

"No!" An Nuannuan shook her head like a rattle: "How can taking the cable car be the same as climbing to the top of the mountain by yourself?"

"Then can you still go?"

Xu Musen looked at her red cheeks.

"Stop looking down on others."

An Nuannuan groaned, took a few deep breaths, and immediately stood up: "The boss lady won't give in so easily!"

After saying that, she continued walking up the mountain.

Xu Musen looked at her. With her stubborn and arrogant appearance, she now looked more and more like a yandere little girl.

Xu Musen couldn't help but laugh, and followed her, walking towards the top of the mountain step by step.

As we got closer to the top of the mountain, we could already see the Laojun Temple and Taiqing Palace on the top of the mountain…

The surroundings were covered with snow and the temperature was getting colder, but everyone who walked here was sweating.

"call…"

An Nuannuan covered her heaving chest with her hands. Her legs were trembling so much that she could hardly lift them. Her rosy cheeks now turned slightly pale.

Xu Musen helped her to a pavilion and handed her the water in the thermos.

An Nuannuan took it and took a sip. Her complexion became a little more normal. She raised her head and looked at the last third of the journey, feeling very unwilling.

"Not trying to be stubborn anymore?" Xu Musen asked her with a smile.

An Nuannuan pouted her lips and raised the water cup to cover his mouth.

Xu Musen also took a sip and said with a smile: "In fact, you are already very impressive. The mountains on the plains may not look high, but climbing them is very tiring. Not everyone can persevere."

An Nuannuan shook her sore legs and asked, "Have you and her ever climbed this mountain?"

Xu Musen looked at her and nodded: "Yeah."

"Did she climb up there by herself?"

"Forget it."

Xu Musen recalled that he had carried her on his back for most of the second half of the journey.

"If she can do it, of course I can do it too. Girls in Sichuan and Shu know how to go up the mountain as soon as they are born. I am not afraid."

An Nuannuan's big eyes showed a bit of unconvinced, and she said in the cutest tone with the domineering attitude of "If the enemy can go, I can go too".

They are still competing secretly.

Xu Musen smiled, stretched out his hand, and put her legs on his legs.

"what."

"I'll give you a massage and stretch, or you won't be able to walk normally for the next two or three days."

Xu Musen massaged her calves. The strong and warm touch made An Nuannuan feel a tingling and numb sensation like an electric current, as if the capillaries in her legs that had been closed for a long time were opened up and she felt warm.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Um...what are you doing?"

An Nuannuan was nodding her head when she saw Xu Musen's hands had already started to untie her shoelaces.

"Give your feet a massage too. If you don't get the blood flowing, your feet will hurt the next day."

As Xu Musen spoke, he was already preparing to help her take off her shoes.

“No…” An Nuannuan wanted to pull her legs back, her face turning a little red.

"What? Are you still embarrassed?" Xu Musen asked her with a smile.

Before, when the two of them were just "good friends", they could pinch each other's feet at will.

"No... I haven't washed my feet after climbing for so long..."

An Nuannuan blushed and shook her head. Of course girls care about it. After climbing for several hours, their shoes must be stuffy and there will inevitably be a little smell.

"It's okay, I just like this original flavor, let my husband enjoy it!"

Xu Musen had already taken off her shoes in a mean manner.

"No..."

An Nuannuan knew that he was a pervert, but at this moment her legs were so soft that she took off her shoes, revealing her small feet in white cotton socks. The cold mountain wind blew, and her small feet curled up like the white and tender paws of a kitten.

However, An Nuannuan does not have a physique that sweats easily. In addition, her lower body has been in a wheelchair all year round, so her metabolism is not as high as that of a normal person. Even after climbing the mountain for so long, her cotton socks are still dry and soft. As for the smell, there is no smell at all, and there is still the faint floral scent of laundry detergent.

"Cold..." An Nuannuan hummed. The temperature in the mountains was still very cold.

Xu Musen held her feet, unzipped his down jacket, and put her directly into his arms.

"It's not cold anymore."

Xu Musen held her little feet in his arms and squeezed them gently.

The warmth coming from his body made An Nuannuan feel as hot as summer, and of course what was more important was that she was favored by him without any disgust.

"Um…"

An Nuannuan nodded, looking at Xu Musen's gentle smile, her cheeks actually blushed with shyness.

It was strange, because she hadn't been that shy before when they were "good friends".

But now that I'm engaged, I'm starting to feel shy.

Maybe this is peace of mind.

Before getting engaged, I was always worried about the future.

Only after getting engaged could she begin to slowly appreciate this pure love without any worries.

Occasionally, people waiting to watch the sunrise would pass by them, and looking at this young couple, they would not help but tease and exclaim, “How sweet!”

"Look at them. They know how to rub their legs and warm their feet out of pity for their girlfriends."

"Sister, I told you not to wear leather boots when climbing mountains, but you didn't listen. I was afraid that the smell from your feet would cause my brain to be deprived of oxygen."

"Ha! You despise me now, but why didn't you tell me when you were pursuing me?"

"Nonsense, have you ever seen anyone continue to spread bait after catching a fish?"

"Fuck you, I'll beat you to death!!"

There is never a shortage of playful and joking young couples in the world, and everyone who watches the fun is smiling.

The laughter and joy also diluted the fatigue along the way.

An Nuannuan looked at Xu Musen who was massaging her feet, just like when she was still in a wheelchair, he always liked to massage her feet.

"Xu Musen."

"Ah."

"You really are a foot fetishist."

"???"

Xu Musen coughed dryly. Fortunately, there was no one around. "Don't talk nonsense. I'm being considerate, do you understand?"

An Nuannuan held her cheeks: "Will you dislike me in the future?"

"Of course not. My wife's whole body is my best treasure."

Xu Musen never hesitates to use his sweet words.

An Nuannuan's eyebrows curved, but she suddenly asked: "Then do you say the same thing when you massage her feet?"

Xu Musen paused. Why did this tone sound so familiar?
He looked up at An Nuannuan, whose eyebrows were curved, and coughed slightly: "Well, your situation is different."

"Then..." An Nuannuan held her cheek and thought seriously.

"So if I go hiking with her, will you massage my feet or hers?"

"???"

Xu Musen was confused. Why did this sentence sound more familiar to him? He smiled helplessly and said, "Shouldn't the question be "If you fall into the water, who should I save first?"

"That's right." An Nuannuan nodded, looking at him with clear eyes without blinking: "Who are you going to save first?"

"..."

Xu Musen smacked his lips twice, really digging a hole for himself: "Let's talk about foot massage."

Looking at An Nuannuan's serious eyes.

Xu Musen thought for a moment and said, "I think there is something wrong with your question. You shouldn't ask me whose feet I will massage first. As my boss lady, you should think about how to get your little feet into my hands as quickly as possible!

I should be the one asking you this question: why weren’t you the first person to let me pinch your feet?

Can you bear to watch your husband massage other people's feet?"

The more Xu Musen spoke, the more excited he became. He felt as if he was watching a Japanese porn movie in which a tragic young wife was being sexually exploited by her boss.

Arrogant boss, cowardly husband, and aggrieved wife.

Xu Musen wiped away his non-existent tears.

"As the saying goes, a man with a heart doesn't need to be taught, and a man without a heart can't be taught. It's really hard to be a man, and it's even harder to be a good man!"

An Nuannuan: “???”

Watching his series of performances, An Nuannuan was stunned for a long time. Is it possible to turn the tables like this?
At this moment, she was as helpless as a man!
Xu Musen pinched her feet and showed an expression of forgiveness: "I forgive you this time, but don't ask such questions to make me angry again in the future, okay?"

An Nuannuan's delicate cheeks were dazed, and finally she was so angry that her cheeks almost puffed up into big buns!

But looking at his pitiful appearance as he pretends to be a victim.

An Nuannuan couldn't help but burst out laughing out of anger.

"Xu Musen, she is right, you are just a greedy villain!"

An Nuannuan pursed her lips and criticized him seriously.

"I accept the punishment, or you can just kick me."

Xu Musen held her feet.

"I don't want to..."

An Nuannuan snorted and turned her head away. This pervert, maybe this is a reward for him.

Xu Musen also restrained his slutty appearance and held her feet against his chest: "I just like being a henpecked husband. I will listen to you all my life."

An Nuannuan's soft soles felt the warmth of his chest and the strong beating of his heart.

In this life, his heart beats for An Nuannuan.

An Nuannuan's angry face seemed to have turned into soft, sweet and delicious Snow Mei Niang.

She pulled her feet out of Xu Musen's arms and looked at the top of the mountain which was already faintly shiny.

"Let's go. I want to watch the sunrise."

"it is good."

Xu Musen took the shoes and put them on for her, then continued walking towards the top of the mountain.

Dawn broke in the sky and from a distance the Golden Summit was already in sight.

However, the last 100-meter stone staircase is the physical limit for most people.

This was the first time that An Nuannuan had done such strenuous exercise since her recovery, and she was almost exhausted at the moment.

Xu Musen supported her, and every step was difficult. The melted snow on the top of the mountain made the steps even more slippery.

An Nuannuan almost missed a step, and Xu Musen quickly held her in his arms, holding the guardrail tightly with one hand.

"Is everything okay?"

"fine…"

An Nuannuan shook her head, her body had indeed reached its limit and she didn't even have the strength to lift her legs.

At this moment, the top of the mountain has gradually become light-colored. After a night of climbing, it is for the first ray of light in the morning. "Rest for a while." Xu Musen wanted to help her sit down.

"Don't..." An Nuannuan shook her head and looked up at the top of the mountain which was beginning to glow, her eyes flashing.

"Before, when I was still in a wheelchair, the dream I always wanted to realize was to go to many places with you. Now I can finally keep up with you..."

An Nuannuan's sweaty white face showed a stubborn smile: "Now, don't even think about leaving me alone again."

In her previous life, An Nuannuan was undoubtedly lonely.

No matter what kind of grievances and hatreds Yao Mingyue and Xu Musen had, in the end, all the space in their lives was occupied by each other.

An Nuannuan was envious.

The regret of not traveling to the ends of the earth together was not only shared by Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue, but also by herself.

Xu Musen looked into An Nuannuan's eyes, then looked up at the top of the mountain where the sun was already rising.

He squatted down, took An Nuannuan's arm, and lifted her up on his back.

"I can do it myself..."

"But from now on, I will never leave you alone again."

Xu Musen interrupted her softly and looked up at the last distance. The sunrise on the top of the mountain was coming very quickly.

From night to dawn, it only takes a dozen minutes.

After a whole night of hard climbing, if you missed a few minutes, you would never be able to see the most beautiful moment of the sunrise.

"Also, I have something to correct you about. From now on, you don't have to worry about keeping up with me, because I will always be by your side."

Xu Musen turned his head and looked into An Nuannuan's eyes. He raised his left hand, and the diamond ring on his ring finger was shining.

"Your husband will accompany you to see all the mountains and rivers in the future!"

An Nuannuan also raised her hand, with the diamond rings on her ring fingers overlapping each other, sparkling in the morning light that had just risen from the top of the mountain.

Lying on Xu Musen's warm back, yes, Xu Musen did not leave her side at all when she was sitting in the wheelchair.

Now, what does she have to be afraid of?

For people who truly understand each other, no matter where they go, they seem to be just a stone's throw away.

"Honey, hold on tight, your husband is about to start sprinting!"

Xu Musen looked at the gradually rising sun and took a deep breath.

"Ok!"

An Nuannuan hugged his neck tightly with a sweet smile.

Xu Musen gathered his strength and climbed towards the top of the mountain step by step, carrying An Nuannuan on his back.

Finally, as the sun slowly began to shine its golden light from the mountains, they stepped onto the last step.

Laojun Mountain, Jinguangding, when the first ray of sunlight in the early morning just falls on the roof of the high temple, the whole mountain top is suddenly illuminated by golden light. The sun comes at dawn, the mountain peaks in the distance overlap, the clouds are picturesque, and half of the golden sun rises slowly.

At this moment, the romance engraved in the bones of Chinese aesthetics is displayed to the fullest.

"Here we are."

Xu Musen gently put An Nuannuan down, leaned against the fence, and quietly looked at the scenery in the distance, with golden light falling in her clear eyes.

The faint golden light made her fair skin look like a hazy layer of holy light.

The morning light breaks, and everything seems full of hope.

This was the first time for An Nuannuan to watch the sunrise from such a high place and overlook all the mountains.

"Mom is right. The sunrise over the mountain is really beautiful... But she couldn't watch it with me..."

An Nuannuan looked at the sun in the distance. It was warm but not dazzling. She reached out to grab it, as if she wanted to hold it in her palm.

Xu Musen was behind her, looking down into her watery eyes.

As for this mother-in-law whom he had no chance to meet, Xu Musen had only seen her photo.

She was a woman with a fierce but warm smile, and her eyes were exactly the same as An Nuannuan's.

Clear, bright, deep and gentle.

"You both have the same eyes. This is the best gift she left for you to experience the world. So, what you can see, she can definitely see too."

Xu Musen spoke softly, he gently lifted An Nuannuan's hand, and together with her, they seemed to want to hold the warm morning light in the sky.

"Really…"

An Nuannuan's eyes were moist and her gaze flickered, as if she wanted to see the beautiful scenery for her mother.

"Of course."

Xu Musen lowered his head and held An Nuannuan's cheek, gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"You'll have me from now on. We'll take a good look at the sights we haven't been able to see together before for mom."

An Nuannuan's body trembled, as if her mother was really by her side at this moment, holding her hand gently and looking at the warm sunshine in the sky with her.

Children are the best continuation of their parents' lives in the world.

She leaned gently in Xu Musen's arms.

She also wanted to take a good look at all these mountains and rivers for her mother.

The wind chimes swayed gently.

The first breeze in the valley drives the densely packed prayer boards hung on the trees, which make them sound like wind chimes, making clear and pleasant sounds to each other.

Xu Musen came here to take something away, and he was not sure whether it still existed.

After all, nearly three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

With people coming and going, the prayer boards here are cleaned regularly.

He came to the back of the hall, where there was a narrow path leading to an old tree at the back.

At the beginning, he and Yao Mingyue’s prayer cards were hung on that old tree.

"Tourists over there, no entry allowed."

As Xu Musen walked into the narrow road, a young Taoist priest in Taoist robes came over and reminded him.

Only then did Xu Musen see that a rope had been tied to the narrow road.

"Hi, I want to pick up something."

Xu Musen began to explain.

The young Taoist priest shook his head: "No, this road is not safe."

"Please help me. I just want to take back the blessing sign I hung earlier. We will leave after I get it."

The young Taoist shook his head: "The road here was closed three years ago, and after it was closed, the old tree was broken by a strong wind, and all the blessing signs hanging on the tree were blown away."

Xu Musen was silent for a moment, his eyes silently looking in the direction of the narrow road.

for a long time.

"Okay, trouble."

Xu Musen retracted his steps and left with An Nuannuan.

Standing by the fence, Xu Musen looked silently toward the horizon.

An Nuannuan gently hugged his arm: "Is that prayer card important to you?"

"It's not very important, I just suddenly wanted to look for it..."

Xu Musen shook his head and recalled that three years ago when he and Yao Mingyue came to Laojun Mountain, their relationship was at its "worst" moment.

Yao Mingyue left this prayer board, and probably many of them were cursing him.

However, Xu Musen suddenly wanted to see what this little yandere would write at that time.

but…

If what the little Taoist priest said was true, the old tree broke and the prayer tablets were blown away by the wind, perhaps I will never see them again in this lifetime.

"Then come with me!"

Xu Musen was still reminiscing when his arm was suddenly pulled by An Nuannuan.

An Nuannuan pursed her lips slightly at this moment: "Looking at your expression, it's obviously very important to you. For important things, even if they are lost, you have to see them with your own eyes before you can give up."

Xu Musen stared blankly at An Nuannuan, who was more active than him at the moment: "Aren't you angry?"

It can be said that Xu Musen came to Laojun Mountain today just for Yao Mingyue's prayer tablet.

It was supposed to be their honeymoon.

An Nuannuan puffed her cheeks slightly, her bright eyes sparkling with luster: "I am angry because you are unhappy. I can go back and settle accounts with you no matter what you do, but I will be really angry if you are unhappy. You obviously came out with me on your honeymoon, and if you continue like this, I will really be unhappy!"

Xu Musen looked at her and couldn't help but smile.

Really, he didn't understand this logic at the moment. At worst, he could just go back and kneel on the washboard again.

"Walk."

Xu Musen stood up and stood in the corner waiting for the little Taoist priest to go aside. Then Xu Musen and An Nuannuan quietly went in.

No one has been on this narrow road for three years.

The road was even covered with moss, and the air had a special smell of dampness.

End of the narrow road.

A broken tree suddenly appeared before my eyes.

It was an old broken tree, with almost all of its trunks broken by the strong wind, and the thickest main trunk split in half. However, even so, there were still tender buds on the split tree, ready to produce new leaves. There was even a bird's nest made of branches at the junction of the trunks.

However, the branches were indeed clean, and there was no prayer card left.

Xu Musen searched carefully for a long time but still found nothing.

The result was clearly foreseeable, but when he actually saw it with his own eyes, Xu Musen still felt a little depressed.

Outside the narrow road.

When the young Taoist priest came back, he saw two footprints on the narrow, mossy and damp ground.

He immediately thought of the young couple just now. They must have sneaked in when he wasn't paying attention.

He leaned over to take a look, and indeed saw two people standing in front of the broken tree.

"Hey, why are young people nowadays so unwilling to listen to advice? Who will they blame if they fall down later..."

The young Taoist was about to walk over, but before he could finish his words, someone patted him on the shoulder.

"master?"

The young Taoist priest looked back and saw an old Taoist priest with a lean figure and white beard.

"Master, a young couple broke in here, I'll go and call them out..."

"I see. The incense burner in the room is full of ash. Go and clean it out first."

The old Taoist priest nodded.

"Yes."

The young Taoist priest looked at the two people at the end of the narrow road again, and finally bowed and left.

The old Taoist turned his head, his weathered eyes were full of brilliance. He stroked his beard and looked at the figure at the end of the narrow road, as if thinking about something.

……

At this moment, in front of the broken tree, Xu Musen was in a trance for a long time.

An Nuannuan gently grabbed his hand.

Xu Musen came back to his senses and smiled at last: "Forget it, this is probably God's will."

This tree has been growing for a hundred years and has seen all kinds of strong winds and heavy rains, but it was blown down in the past three years.

"When she gets better, you can go and ask her in person."

An Nuannuan comforted him.

Xu Musen reached out and rubbed her head, then looked at the broken tree in front of him. Since what he wanted was no longer there, he decided not to stay any longer.

It's just a moment to turn around.

A vicissitudes of life voice came from behind.

"This tree is more than 150 years old. It was planted by my master himself. Despite all the ups and downs over the past 100 years, the tree has remained lush and green. Over the past 100 years, countless birds and small animals have built nests on the tree.

But it suddenly broke apart last year. This is fate."

The old Taoist with white beard had come behind them at some point and was looking at the broken tree in front of them.

Xu Musen turned around and looked at the old Taoist priest in front of him. He felt familiar with him. He took the initiative to apologize: "Sorry, we just wanted to get something. We will leave now."

The old Taoist priest didn't say anything. He looked up and down at Xu Musen with a deep and vicissitudes gaze, and then looked at An Nuannuan beside him.

He pulled a sign from his pocket.

"Is this what you are looking for?"

It was a faded prayer plate. After years of ups and downs, much of the engraved words on it had become blurred.

However, Xu Musen still recognized the familiar handwriting at a glance.

This is Yao Mingyue’s prayer card!
"Taoist priest..."

Xu Musen stretched out his hand.

The old Taoist priest slowly said, "The little girl who hung this blessing plaque, didn't she come?"

Xu Musen paused, looking at the old Taoist priest in front of him, he said silently: "She is sick."

This sentence made the atmosphere silent for a moment.

The old Taoist priest didn't say anything. He took the prayer card and looked at it again, then threw it directly at Xu Musen.

Xu Musen immediately caught it with both hands.

Xu Musen looked down at the token. After three years of wind and sun, the writing on it had long been blurred and he could only vaguely make out some words.

"Damn it", "Idiot", "Stupid block", "You'll be pestered to death...", "Forget it... Be happy...", "Let's be together in the future...", "Brother Mu... loves you...", "Wait for me..."

It was impossible to make out any sentences anymore, but Xu Musen seemed to still see what happened three years ago in a trance.

The rude, unreasonable, arrogant and sensitive girl gritted her teeth and secretly carved blushing words.

Xu Musen tightly grasped the prayer card.

The old Taoist stroked his beard, walked past him, came to the broken tree, stretched out his hand to touch the broken annual rings and the buds that had sprouted on the broken branches.

"Last year, a strong wind blew down this tree. There was a bird's nest on the tree, and the wind blew a hole in the nest. It was about to fall apart. The prayer tablet happened to fall into the hole in the nest, protecting the two newly hatched chicks. We only found the prayer tablet when we moved the nest later."

The old Taoist priest spoke slowly, his eyes filled with a gentleness of vicissitudes: "It is a disaster but also a blessing. If there was no bird's nest, this prayer board would have disappeared into the mountains. If there was no prayer board, two lives would have been lost."

The old Taoist priest looked at the emerald green sprouts growing on the broken branches, and then turning green again in spring and summer, as if it was a new cycle.

The old Taoist priest turned his head and looked at Xu Musen, his voice old but full of life and gentleness.

“That’s kind of the case.

A dead tree can be reborn in spring, and a desperate situation can be reborn.”

A prayer card brought about the rebirth of two lives.

Their lives also extended the life of this prayer board.

Everything is predestined by heaven.

Xu Musen looked up at the old Taoist priest in front of him and the broken tree behind him that was sprouting new buds.

A dead tree comes back to life, a desperate situation brings life back to life...

Perhaps, all this is really a destiny.

Xu Musen tightly held the prayer card in his hand and bowed deeply to the old Taoist priest: "Thank you."

The old Taoist stroked his beard and shook his head: "It's fate. That girl has a good fate, and so do you."

The old Taoist priest looked at Xu Musen and An Nuannuan with his old and wise eyes, and finally shook his head: "You guys go, you probably have some unfinished business."

Xu Musen held the prayer card in his hand and said, "Master, can I ask for your blessing..."

Xu Musen has always been a staunch materialist, but he thinks of Yao Mingyue at this moment.

He would rather believe that there really are gods in this world who can protect her safety.

The old Taoist stroked his beard, then shook his head and smiled: "Isn't the greatest blessing in your hands?"

The faded prayer card in Xu Musen's hand had gone through three years of ups and downs, and although it had faded, it still returned to his hands.

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard, put one hand behind his back, and his weathered voice was filled with ancient wisdom.

"Whether it's gods or ghosts, or science, in the final analysis, it's all about seeking inner peace. Materialism and idealism are all about self-centeredness. Miracles can be big or small, and those who believe in miracles are the ones who can bring blessings to others."

The old Taoist priest slowly walked out of the narrow path, leaving only the echo of his murmurs.

Xu Musen tightly grasped the token and looked back at the broken tree that was growing new green buds.

At this moment, he finally smiled and put the prayer card in his arms, close to his heartbeat.

There are no ghosts or gods in this world.

Sincere people are each other's gods...
