Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 349: Live with your eyes closed
Shen Siyuan was a little confused. He still didn't understand whether Wei Fengying really loved Qi Siguo or was just feeling guilty.

After Qi Siguo chose to return to nature and completely disappeared, Wei Fengying no longer spoke of returning to reincarnation, but also chose to return to nature.

Shen Siyuan respected her choice, so he did not stop her.

However, Shen Siyuan did gain something. Not only did he obtain a bit of merit, but their story also made him gain something as well.

Choices determine destiny. Everything that happened to Wei Fengying and Qi Siguo later was related to Wei Fengying’s two choices.

If Wei Fengying had chosen Qi Siguo the first time, I'm afraid what happened later wouldn't have happened.

After all, the two families are old friends. If things really get done, can Wei Fengying's parents still forcibly separate them?
Wei Fengying said that Qi Siguo later made a lot of money, which shows that he is actually a very capable person.

If Wei Fengying had followed him, her life would probably have been pretty good.

But there is no if...

Because of her two choices, Qi Siguo's life was ruined.

Of course, this is also Qi Siguo's own choice.

"Brother, where are you going? Do you need me to give you a ride?"

Just as Shen Siyuan was moving forward step by step, a car slowly drove up to his side.

The driver was a middle-aged man with a round face and a round figure. He had a shaved head and an ordinary appearance. He was driving a small van. It seemed that he had just made a delivery, as he could not hide the sleepiness on his face.

"Thank you, brother, but there's no need to trouble you." Shen Siyuan said politely.

"It's not a problem. It's just on the way. It's still more than 20 kilometers from here to the next town. I'll give you a ride. It'll be more convenient to get to the town at night." The master said with a smile.

"In that case, thank you very much, brother."

Shen Siyuan did not refuse the other party's kindness. He got into the other party's car and sat in the passenger seat.

Then I saw a row of cute little ornaments on the dashboard, the most eye-catching of which were two big-head rocking toys for children.

A man and a woman, both smiling brightly.

Noticing Shen Siyuan's gaze, the eldest brother's face was filled with a happy smile.

"My two dolls, aren't they cute?"

"It's very cute. How old is it?" Shen Siyuan asked casually.

"The older brother is fifteen years old and is in high school this year. The younger one is only five years old and is still in the middle class of kindergarten..."

When talking about children, the eldest brother's mouth corners subconsciously raised.

"Brother is so happy." Shen Siyuan said with a smile.

“What’s the point of happiness? We can only live with our eyes closed. If we open our eyes, we won’t be able to live anymore…” the eldest brother sighed.

"How do you say this?"

"Every family has its own problems. Life is stressful now. I suffer from a lot of humiliation and I don't make any money. But I need money to support my two children. My eldest child is not in good health. My wife is at home taking care of them and I can't go to work... Alas..."

The eldest brother let out a final sigh, and the happy smile on his face just now turned into bitterness.

“I don’t know when it will end.”

"It will be fine." Shen Siyuan said casually to comfort him.

In fact, if he had not obtained the inheritance of the Nine Nether Demon Lord and had not met Ruan Hongzhuang.

I'm afraid that his future will be similar to this big brother, and the end of his life can be seen at a glance.

"When?" the eldest brother asked back with a smile.

"If I can really wait until I get better, I'm afraid I will be old. Life is only a few short decades... Alas..." The eldest brother sighed again.

"So, you can only live your life with your eyes closed. Never open them. If you open your eyes, you will see too clearly and even want to die." "Brother, what you said is too negative."

"It's not that I'm negative. It's time. Sometimes I really want to die, but when I think of my two children, I don't even dare to die. If I die, how will they live? Especially the eldest child, who is a sickly person. He has to take medicine for a long time, and the cost is too high..."

"What's the disease? Is it so serious?"

"Lupus is incurable." The eldest brother's face was full of worry.

"Hey, can boys also get this disease?" Shen Siyuan was a little surprised. In his impression, it seemed that only women would get this disease.

"Yes, but the incidence rate is very small. So I am unlucky that I have to encounter it. I don't know what sins I committed in my previous life..." said the eldest brother.

After hearing this, Shen Siyuan didn't know how to comfort her.

The eldest brother heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It's nothing, life should go on as usual. There's no point in thinking too much."

"Life is a mess. If you think too much and see too clearly, you will easily become depressed."

"Brother, you have great literary talent." Shen Siyuan said casually.

Unexpectedly, the eldest brother became excited and said immediately: "When I was in school, I had the best grades in Chinese. The composition I wrote was even read on the stage as a model by the teacher. The teacher said that I have a talent for writing."

"Since then I have fallen in love with writing. I have published several articles in magazines and later wrote novels on the Internet. Unfortunately..."

"It's a pity that I wrote several books in a row, but not only did I not get a penny, but I was also scolded by others. I will never write novels again even if I starve to death or die of poverty..."

"Hehe, it's always good to have dreams. Who knows, one day, you might become famous."

"That's impossible. You don't know how hard it is to please readers nowadays. You work hard for a month, but they are not even willing to give you a monthly ticket..."

……

The eldest brother is very talkative. The two of them talked about everything from outer space to the inner uterus, and from the Bible to the Neijing.

He is well-informed and knows a little bit about everything, but not in depth. However, this does not affect his topic of conversation. After all, it is just a chat, not an academic report, and who would delve into so much?

It was only a distance of more than 20 kilometers, and there were fewer cars on the road at night, so we arrived in half an hour.

"This is Majia Town, a real ancient town. It is said to have a history of more than 500 years. You can take a good stroll around the town. The Chaoxi Town you came to is a newly built town for tourists. The so-called attractions are all fake and have no flavor at all."

At the entrance of the town, the eldest brother put Shen Siyuan down.

Along the way, Shen Siyuan didn't ask his elder brother's name, and his elder brother didn't ask Shen Siyuan's name either.

We met by chance, and we came and went by fate, so why should we make it so clear?

It was already past midnight, and there were basically no people or cars in the town. Only some neon lights were flashing in the dark. Apart from that, there were a few dogs barking. His eldest brother specially dropped him off at the door of a small hotel, but Shen Siyuan did not go in.

Instead, he walked slowly in one direction. After about ten minutes' walk, he actually saw a long section of ancient city wall.

The ancient city walls have carried countless years and are full of mottled spots and weathered by frost.

Shen Siyuan walked slowly to the city wall and saw the ocean under the moonlight not far away.

The moon in the sea reflects the moon in the sky.

This is similar to his "Method of Observing the Sun".

So he sat cross-legged on the city wall, feeling the vigorous water energy in the sea.

At the same time, a scorching sun emerged in the sea of ​​consciousness.
