Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower - Chapter 2692 - 2695: Cruel Fate
Though, Yu Zheng Xi was not sure whether Traveling Doctor Liu realized it instantly or it took some time.
“Right, you’re still very cold and indifferent at that time,” Traveling Doctor Liu said helplessly.
Thinking of his fifth and sixth disciple, Traveling Doctor Liu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He could still remember those days very clearly and the way these two people interact with each other also wanted him wanted to laugh.
Because it was clear that neither of the two were willing to interact with each other much for various reasons.
Yu Zheng Xi was still being chased and afraid of showing his face to others. He could only hide behind the mask and follow Traveling Doctor Liu in the darkness while listening to his lecture about medicine and herbs they found along the way.
Qi Xue was full of indifference of life after being sold by her parents and was brought away by the slave traders. The slave trader was traveling and brought a lot of children with him, one of them was Qi Xue.
She said that her parents wanted to marry her away.
What would happen to her, her parents didn’t care.
What they cared was the pitiful money that was given to them by the man who brought her out.
Qi Xue could still remember that day very clearly.
But Yu Zheng Xi felt that the marriage was really far away because the slave trader have been walking for a long time just to deliver these children.
After being rescued, most of the children chose to leave.
But Qi Xue stayed.
She looked indifferent of life and all.
When asked about where her family is, she didn’t answer and it was not easy for Yu Zheng Xi and Traveling Doctor Liu to ask it. Some other children were also too far away from their original villages and chose to settle down in nearby villages.
“I still don’t understand why you’re willing to take her, Master,” Yu Zheng Xi whispered in a low voice.
He had no right to question his master’s decision, but he was curious about why Traveling Doctor Liu wanted to take Qi Xue in.
Was it because she looked so lifeless?
Traveling Doctor Liu let out a dry laugh and asked, “Zheng Xi, have you ever seen someone who had lost their will to life and only want to wait for death? For them, every single day is the same. It’s just eating, drinking, and then wait for death. There’s basically no hope in their eyes and even if they have emotions, it’s nothing more than fleeting emotions that will disappear very quickly.”
Yu Zheng Xi blinked his eyes and then thought about those prisoners that he had dealt with when he was young.
Many of these prisoners didn’t care about their lives anymore.
They were sitting in a damp prison, eating as the others asked them to do, drink when they were told to, and then sleep when it was time. The next day, they only needed to repeat the same routine over and over.
In this era, people who were imprisoned in that prison were basically imprisoned for life or just wait for execution.
Because Yu Zheng Xi knew very well that the crimes they made were too much. Or they were simply people whom his father to be removed for life because of various reasons. He was not allowed to ask and would not ask about them.
There was also time when Yu Zheng Xi was the one asked to execute them.
Seeing those lifeless eyes that was simply waiting to die…
It wasn’t exactly a good feeling.
“I can’t say that I have never seen those eyes, but those that I have seen are basically people who have been sentenced to death,” Yu Zheng Xi replied.
“Yes.” Traveling Doctor Liu nodded, not surprised. “But there are other cases when people lose the meaning of their lives and simply wanted to die… that girl back then is the same.”
When he saw Qi Xue’s gaze, he understood that Qi Xue didn’t have much interest to live. She just wanted to stay there and probably wait for own death.
For a 13 years old girl to look like that…
It would be a lie to say that Traveling Doctor Liu didn’t feel heartache at all. But he’s a doctor and what he could do best was to cure people’s physical injuries. He was not proficient in dealing with other people’s heart wound.
It was just that he couldn’t leave the girl alone.
So he brought her away, trying his best to let her learn about medicine so that she could be more lively.
When she met with his seventh disciple… well he didn’t really have to do anything. Because she became energetic on her own and always chased after him, seemingly wanting to stay by his side at all time.
Traveling Doctor Liu seriously could only say that the power of love is amazing.
But unfortunately, fate was really cruel.
Thinking about the ending of his seventh disciple and what happened to Qi Xue and Qi Kan Tian, he really felt that war should not have existed. If it had never existed, perhaps things would not end in that way.
But there was nothing that he could do.
Things had happened and he could only help them a bit before leaving again.
And from that time, Traveling Doctor Liu didn’t dare to take disciples rashly anymore. The few disciples that he took in the beginning didn’t really have any talent to be a medical practitioner.
But he took them in nevertheless because he wanted to help them.
It was just…
How many people needed help in this war torn world?
How many families were broken apart because of wars?
How many orphans were there in the world?
Traveling Doctor Liu was only one person and it was simply impossible for him to help the entire world. He could only try his best to help as a doctor and then leave the rest to fate.
Even if the fate is cruel…
