The road is right under your feet

Chapter 303... Eternity...

"Doctor Yun, please save my child. He is not even a month old. He hasn't even had a good look at this world. Doctor Yun, he is my life. I couldn't save his sister. If anything happens to him again, I will die..."

The woman's eyes were swollen like walnuts. She held the child tightly and forcefully, but her hands were shaking, as if she would not be able to hold him any second later.

She used all her strength, but consciously did not strangle the child.

The child was born not long ago, this shouldn’t be the case. Why is this happening?

From the perspective of entropy, newborn babies are in a low entropy state, so this shouldn't be the case.

But the reality is that many babies die at birth.

Why is this? Perhaps... entropy cannot explain life. Perhaps life violates the law of increasing entropy.

Bai Xing was ultimately unable to save the child. The child was born with a congenital deficiency, and the disease had been in the womb. It seemed to be a genetic problem, but it was not a hereditary disease.

So...what is death?

......

"Please accept my condolences. Your husband may not want to see you so sad."

Bai Xing sighed. The girl in front of him had lifeless eyes. She was kneeling on the ground, her body covered in blood.

She staggered as she carried a seven-foot-tall man on her back.

The man was placed on a straw mat, and the girl's shoulders were rubbed bloody by a hemp rope, and the cloth on them was torn.

When he was brought in, he had already died. The girl slumped on the ground. Slowly, with a calm expression, she lay down beside him, sharing the same pillow and bed with him.

"Please bury us together."

"Girl, why are you doing this?" Bai Xing lowered her head and looked at the blood-stained copper coins in her hand. These were all the girl's savings, and she only wanted to be buried with her husband.

Perhaps, this amount of money is not enough to bury them, but...

“Doctor Yun, you are a doctor, you must be used to seeing life and death.

I haven't married him yet. My family has been in the business of merchants for generations. They don't agree with me being with him and have arranged a marriage for me.

I disagreed and ran away, but met a gangster. Xiao Lang was seriously injured while trying to save me. I went home to seek help, but my father was very angry when he learned about this and kicked me out of the house on the grounds of my reputation.

I had nowhere to go, and I spent all my valuables, but still couldn't save him...

Later, I accidentally heard that a new Huichuntang had opened in the city, and there was a miracle doctor there with superb medical skills who could bring the dead back to life. I came, but... I was still a step too late."

"I have no other wish in this life except to be with the one I love. In this way...if we die together, we will never be separated, right?"

Bai Xing was silent. "How can you be buried together if you are not dead? He saved me by dying. All he wanted was for you to live well."

"Alive?" The girl laughed at herself. "The one who loves me is already dead. Who would still want me to live? What's the difference between me and being dead?"

The girl looked at him tenderly, lying on his left chest, as if she could hear his heartbeat. She closed her eyes and murmured, "Xiao Lang, why are you so stupid?"

"You go first, and remember to walk slowly. I'll come find you soon. We want to be together forever and ever... forever."

The girl took out a pair of scissors, smiled, and stabbed it into the heart.

“No—stop—”

There was a noise in the distance and the sound of horse hooves approaching.

"Rou'er - no -"

A middle-aged man was riding a horse at full speed, whipping the horse, looking dusty and exhausted. He couldn't wait to get off the horse and didn't even wait for it to stop, so he fell to the ground.

But he didn't care at all. His eyes were fixed on the smiling girl not far away, and he rolled over to her.

His eyes were filled with sorrow and tears gradually fell on the girl's face.

With trembling hands, he took the girl away from the man and held her in his arms, "Daddy is here, open your eyes. I'm sorry, Daddy doesn't abandon you, Daddy just..."

The tears in her eyes could no longer be held back, and they flowed down her chin and wet her hair.

Bai Xing shook his head and hesitated for a moment, "Uncle, the girl's last wish was to be buried with this man. Since you are here, I believe you want to handle the girl's funeral in person. Then her last wish... what do you think?"

The middle-aged man didn't react much. Bai Xing just thought that he was too sad because of the death of his beloved daughter and didn't hear anything.

However, the next second, he kicked the man on the ground away from the girl, and pulled the girl into his arms.

White Star:"……"

The man sacrificed himself to save the girl's life. He was seriously injured and had a strong will to survive before he died, just to see the girl safe and sound.

Her lover died, she was rejected by her family, and the girl lost the will to live.

Although the reason is unknown, the girl will be a lifelong pain to her father. Once it is rooted and sprouted, the pain will be unbearable.

So...what is death?

Bai Xing lay drunkenly on the beam of the room, staring blankly at the full moon above his head.

It's another full moon. Time flies so fast.

The moonlight is hazy and the stars are brilliant.

Some people are dead yet still alive, and some people are alive yet already dead.

So...what is life? What is death?

Bai Xing took a sip of wine, which tasted spicy and made him drunk.

When a person dies, things scatter; when a heart dies, things die.

Life...Eternity...

Death... is also eternal...
