cloudy day

Chapter 19

"Father...Father..." I was so stunned that I couldn't speak, and fell to my knees in front of him with a plop, unable to believe the scene in front of me.

The adoptive father fiddled with the compass, tortoise shell, and a few copper coins in his hand, forced a smile from the corner of his mouth, and said to me: "I'll figure it out, there's enough time left for me to tell you a few words."

"Father... What's the matter with you, dad? You were fine before?" My eyes have long been blurred by tears. My adoptive father is my only support, my only spiritual support. If my adoptive father dies, I don't even have the meaning of living.

"Changsheng, the biggest regret of my adoptive father in this life is that I didn't let you go to high school like a normal child, and let you go to university in the future." The adoptive father stretched out his dry hand and stroked my head.

I held my adoptive father's hand tightly, cried and said, "Father, you are still saved. I have a check for 60 yuan in my hand. Let's go quickly, and I will take you to the best hospital in the city!"

"Changsheng, calm down, I have to tell you something!" My adoptive father held my arm tightly and said seriously.

I nodded sadly, and of course I knew in my heart that judging from the current situation, even if the Daluo Jinxian came, I am afraid there is no way to recover.

My adoptive father took my hand and said weakly: "Changsheng, do you know why daddy gave you this name?"

I shook my head sadly, and my adoptive father stared at the tortoise shell in front of me and said: "There are two reasons. First, it is because you are born with a yin fate. A solitary yin does not grow, and a single yang does not grow. You will experience too many hardships and bad luck in this life. Can't survive."

"What... what! If I can't survive, then I have less than three years to live!" I shouted in shock, but after thinking about it, I smiled faintly, "But that's fine, I will only survive if I survive. Bringing bad luck to people, I was born to be a calamity, and I have caused you to become like this now."

I said bitterly, but my adoptive father coughed excitedly and sat up from the bed, "Changsheng, you are wrong, you are not a disaster star! If I hadn't brought you back from the dead to adopt, father would have already Died 15 years ago!"

"What? Dad, don't get excited, speak slowly." I patted my adoptive father on the back and helped him to lie on the bed again.

The adoptive father breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and continued to say to me: "16 years ago, I did a fortune-telling for a high-ranking person, and I accidentally leaked the secret, and I was punished, and I would die within three years. .But after being instructed by a mysterious person, he asked me to adopt you, and I lived for another 15 years to continue my life."

What my adoptive father said was so unbelievable, I couldn't help but blurt out and ask: "This...why is this?"

"This is what I have been thinking about for 15 years, but you will have to find the answer by yourself in the future." The adoptive father said with a wry smile.

"But I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Dad, you haven't found the answer for 15 years, and I only have three years left to live..." I said sadly.

"Ahem...Father won't let you die!" The adoptive father coughed a few times emotionally, forced himself to sit up, and began to fiddle with the compass and the few copper coins in his hand.

"Father, what are you going to do?"

"Father will use this last bit of fate to make a divination for you!"

"But Dad, if you do this, you will speed up your death, you...you may still be saved!" I gently tugged on the corner of my adoptive father's clothes, and said weakly.

"Son, you want to survive. Daddy still has a lot of unfinished business. I want you to finish it for me." The adoptive father looked at me kindly. I wiped the tears from my face and nodded repeatedly.

The adoptive father breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "But there are a few things before divination, I must tell you, the first thing is related to your life, that is, you must eat the flesh of the dead before you can live come down..."

Regarding this incident, I didn't feel much surprise. When I knew that I was eating human flesh during this period, I completely understood it.But what I'm curious about is, why?
"The second thing is that you have to make good use of that ability. You are not a disaster star. On the contrary, your ability can help yourself and others avoid disasters." The adoptive father said weakly, and I repeatedly said yes.

"The third thing, you have to be careful of those who don't have shackles. They are all masters of yin and yang. Most of them rely on magic to avoid death and live for a long time, but they will eventually Receive retribution, just like your father..."

"father……"

"The one who came to arrest me yesterday was the underworld messenger. If I don't die, they will come again at midnight tonight, so I must die today, or I will implicate you one day. Changsheng, you remember these three things Are you staying?"

"Father, I remember!" I nodded heavily.

The adoptive father said three good words in a row, and smiled gratifiedly, "That's good, I'll start hanging out right now, don't disturb me during this time."

"Yes..." I choked up and agreed.

The adoptive father took a deep breath, and he began to fiddle with the compass with trembling hands. Two lights burst out from his eyes, which gradually became more and more dazzling!
