Crossing Douluo's Book of Life and Death

Chapter 103 The Choice Between Life and Death
It is said that Tang Yuan rescued a middle-aged man who committed suicide by cutting his wrist in Xiaorong Town. Eight days have passed since today.

As usual, Tang Yuan went to the medical hall to visit the middle-aged man after his training was over.

After arriving at the medical hall, the doctor from the medical hall greeted him and exchanged greetings with Tang Yuan.

During the past few days, Tang Yuan also knew that the doctor's surname was Yang.

Tang Yuan asked: "Doctor Yang, is uncle okay today?"

Dr. Yang shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Just now, the old man asked the medicine boy to boil the medicine and just fed it to the patient."

Tang Yuan nodded and said, "That's good, but I don't know when he will wake up."

Doctor Yang said: "It should be just a few days ago. The old man just diagnosed and treated the patient and found that the patient's blood has recovered. It's just a heart attack that keeps him awake."

Tang Yuan sighed: "That's good. I'll wait a few more days. If I don't wake up, I can only leave first."

Doctor Yang asked: "Xiao Shi is going to leave Xiaorong Town?"

Tang Yuan nodded and said: "I was going to leave a few days ago, but I was worried about this uncle, so I stayed for a few more days."

Doctor Yang nodded, but did not ask further questions.

Tang Yuan walked to the backyard and saw the middle-aged man. His complexion was rosy and his breathing was calm. He seemed to have recovered. He couldn't help but admire the effectiveness of the old man's martial spirit.

Immediately, Tang Yuan thought that the power of life contained in his life and death book spirit should be more effective, but Tang Yuan couldn't mobilize and use whether it was the power of life or the power of death.

Only when he is in danger, these two forces will arise spontaneously, and they will not listen to Tang Yuan's orders at all.

Tang Yuan looked at it for a while, and saw that the middle-aged man was recovering well, so he felt relieved and left the hospital.

Along the way, Tang Yuan was thinking, what is the meaning of the power of life?

In the past few days, Tang Yuan has been unable to think about it, and he has no clue at all. Thinking about it in his heart, it is better to let nature take its course. After all, the teacher has said it, and when he feels it, he will naturally feel it.

Just as Tang Yuan was walking on the road, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang..."

Tang Yuan turned around, and he was really calling him. He saw a child in linen clothes, panting, running from a long distance. Tang Yuan recognized him as the little medicine boy from the medical center.

When the little drug boy ran to him, Tang Yuan asked, "What's wrong?"

The little drug boy was out of breath, and it took him a while to recover. He said, "Finally caught up...Mr. Tang, not long after you left, the patient woke up. The teacher asked you to go take a look."

When Tang Yuan heard this, his face showed joy, and he said, "Really? Great, let's go, let's go back to the medical clinic."

Before the little drug boy could react, Tang Yuan drifted away. He was startled and in great pain. He had just recovered and had to run back again. The key was that Mr. Tang was too fast.

The little drug boy shouted while running: "Mr. Tang, wait for me..."

Not long after, Tang Yuan returned to the medical hall, and the little drug boy also ran back panting heavily.

Seeing Tang Yuan, Doctor Yang said happily, "Little benefactor, the patient is awake, you can go and have a look."

Tang Yuan nodded, walked to the backyard, came to the middle-aged man, saw him wake up, and said: "Uncle, you are awake."

When the middle-aged man saw Tang Yuan, Natou was about to bow: "Thank you for saving my life, benefactor!"

Seeing that he had just recovered, Tang Yuan stopped him and said, "Uncle, you don't have to get excited. You should take care of your body first. You have just recovered, so you should rest well."

The middle-aged man sighed and leaned against the bed again.

Seeing him like this, Tang Yuan asked, "Uncle..."

The middle-aged man preemptively said: "My name is Qian Yi, and I am the third eldest in my family. Your benefactor can call me Qian San."

Tang Yuan smiled and said, "Let's call him Big Brother Qian."

The middle-aged man nodded and did not refuse.

Tang Yuan then asked: "Brother Qian, I see that you are dressed luxuriously, and you don't look like ordinary people. Why do you think so hard?"

Originally, according to Tang Yuan's thinking, Qian Yi had just recovered from a serious illness, so he shouldn't have asked him these things to arouse his sadness, but if he didn't know the root cause of his heart disease, if Qian Yi wanted to die again, it would be a waste of effort.

So Tang Yuan also took this opportunity to ask the reason, if he can explain it properly and stop Qian Yi's desire to seek death, that would be great.

At this time Doctor Yang also came over, and what he thought in his heart was the same as Tang Yuan.

Qian Yi sighed and spoke eloquently.

It turned out that this Qian Yi was originally a member of the Star Luo Empire, but a wealthy businessman from a small town. Usually, he would bring some special products from the Star Luo Empire to the Heaven Dou Empire for sale, doing some trade to make a living, earning a lot of money.

After many years of operation, this Qian Yi can be said to have a wealth of wealth and not to worry about food and clothing.

Hearing this, Tang Yuan and Dr. Yang looked at each other, wondering in their hearts, since it's all like this, why bother to seek life and death?
However, Qian Yi continued to say that this time he accidentally obtained a very valuable gem in the Star Luo Empire, and originally wanted to keep it for himself as a family heirloom, but a businessman from the Heaven Dou Empire who had cooperated with him for a long time told him Qian Yi, a senior official fell in love with this gem and wanted to buy it at a high price.

Qian Yi saw that this high-ranking official's offer was not small, which made him very tempted, so he struggled for a while, and decided to sell it, earn the high price difference first, and talk about the family heirloom later.

Qian Yi made a decision, and worried that the road would be unsafe, so he personally led the team to send the gems from the Star Luo Empire to the Heaven Dou Empire, intending to hand them over to the buyer, so he was relieved.

There were no bumps along the way. Qian Yi had several soul masters under his command, and two of them even reached the level of great soul masters, so some bandits robbed them on the way, but they were also repulsed by Qian Yi's men. The gems were fine. .

Unexpectedly, after arriving in this small Rong Town, Qian Yi saw that his subordinates had been working hard for several days, so he let them have a good rest, and he relaxed his vigilance. The gems also fell to the ground and shattered during the conflict and pushing.

This fall, not to mention how much money was lost, is not easy to explain to that high-ranking official of the Heaven Dou Empire. If that high-ranking official is offended, Qian Yi wants to do business in Tiandou City again in the future. Disaster.

The people under Qian Yi's command were also worried about being implicated, and they all left him one by one, and disappeared long ago.

So Qian Yi was worried and heartbroken, and for a while, he actually had the will to die. He only hoped that after his death, that senior official of the Heaven Dou Empire would not inflict all his anger on his family.

So Qian Yi went out of the town, found a place where no one was around, and cut his wrists to kill himself.

But after he cut his wrist, he felt the passing of his life and couldn't help regretting it. Later, he met Tang Yuan and was saved.

After listening to Qian Yi's words, both Tang Yuan and Doctor Yang found it inconceivable that it was still unknown whether the senior officials of the Dou Empire would take their anger out on Qian Yi because of this matter. It is unwise to cut your wrists and commit suicide.

Dr. Yang quickly said: "Mr. Qian, this old man is many years older than you, and I have to say something, not to mention the high-ranking official, but you have done something wrong and you have to face it. If you end up like this Your own life, how can you be worthy of your family members, how can you be worthy of yourself, that high-ranking official has never even seen your face, and inexplicably caused you to lose your life, he can’t explain it clearly.”

Tang Yuan nodded, what Doctor Yang said was indeed reasonable.

Doctor Yang continued: "As a doctor, this old man has treated countless patients, but everyone attaches great importance to their own life. They all think that life is a very precious thing. Even if they are terminally ill, they know I don't have much time, and I'm full of hope for life, but you... oh..."

Hearing this, Qian Yi felt ashamed.

But Doctor Yang's words fell into Tang Yuan's ears, but Tang Yuan's heart was shocked suddenly.

He remembered that in his previous life, he was also terminally ill and was tortured by illness every day, but he still did not give up living, because he knew that to live was to hope.

But at the last moment, Tang Yuan in his previous life felt that death was also a kind of relief.

But in this life, is one pursuing the hope of life, or the liberation of death?If death is liberation, then is life still hope?Or just a shackle?
This question has been lingering in Tang Yuan's mind, making him perplexed all the time.

At this moment, Tang Yuan's heart was a little complicated.

Seeing that Qian Yi had recovered a lot under Dr. Yang's treatment, Tang Yuan told him to rest well and come back to see him tomorrow, and then he left the clinic.

After returning to the hotel, Tang Yuan was still puzzled. Distraught, he didn't care about his practice. After drinking a few pots of wine, he fell asleep in a daze.

In his sleep, Tang Yuan seemed to have returned to his previous life. The sunset slanting into the window in front of him, and the unforgettable pain and torment on his body made Tang Yuan very dazed.

At this moment, in his heart, there seemed to be a voice asking himself.

Choose the hope of life?

Or choose the relief of death?

Tang Yuan said, choose to die.

So in front of his eyes, the kind smile of the dean's mother-in-law appeared again, and in his ears, the laughter of those little friends appeared again.

These bits and pieces linger in Tang Yuan's heart. If he dies, these will be fragmented, and once they disappear, aren't these just hopes?
No, choose to be born.

Tang Yuan said again.

After finishing speaking, the torment of illness flooded Tang Yuan's body like a tide, and the nightmares and pain every night came again, and the pain and sorrow of being abandoned by his parents lashed out in Tang Yuan's heart again and again.

If he survived, he would have to experience such torture every day, every day, every night.

Live, or die?
What exactly is life?

Tang Yuan didn't have an answer either, he roared and shouted in his dream.

……

After a long time, Tang Yuan woke up with a start, his body was covered with cold sweat, and he was panting heavily, which could not be calmed down for a long time.
