Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

"Cough cough cough..."

The man took out a white handkerchief with trembling hands and covered his mouth. After a heart-wrenching cough, he slowly removed the handkerchief.

Gu Qingzhi looked at the man in front of her who was once a handsome man but now looked like an old man in his twilight years. He slowly spread out his handkerchief and saw the thrilling circles of blood on it. She circled around him anxiously and said, "Brother Gu Yan, call a doctor quickly!"

This is the third time I've seen him cough up blood this month! And each time is more frightening than the last!

However, no matter how loudly she shouted, no one heard her. She circled around him anxiously, wringing her hands and looking at him with red eyes, not knowing what to do.

The man didn't care at all. After covering his mouth for a while, he carefully took out a book from the cabinet under the bookshelf and stroked the cover of the book cherishingly.

Gu Qingzhi stared at the man absentmindedly. Although the man's face was extremely thin and frail, it was still handsome, but...

It’s already this late, why are you still smiling so happily at a book!

She floated forward and was stunned when she saw the cover of the book. No wonder it looked so familiar from afar. It turned out to be the medical book she was holding before she died. It was also the book he had kept with him all these years. The cover was so curled up from being flipped around.

She stared blankly, remembering that time...

At that time, I vaguely heard the crowd shouting, "The relief grain from the imperial court has arrived, everyone hurry up and line up at the city gate to receive the grain."

Finally, have I made it? But when I look around, there is no one around me anymore. What’s the point…

She looked at several piles of fresh yellow earth not far away, where her family members were lying: Mother, elder brother, second brother, Qingqing is here, please walk slowly on the road to the underworld, wait for Qingqing, Qingqing will be scared if she is alone.

She lay on the ground, staring blankly at the direction of the crowd, too weak to struggle anymore.

Mom, life is painful and tiring...

In a trance, she seemed to see a huge snow-white horse galloping towards her. Why did the person on the horse look a bit like Brother Gu Yan?

She laughed at herself, wondering if she was seeing things. Yes, she was indeed so hungry that she felt dizzy and had hallucinations. Gu Yan, the most promising number one scholar of the dynasty, wasn't he in the Hanlin Academy? How could he be in this disaster area with starving people all over the ground?

Moreover, her family had long severed ties with him, so why would he come back to this place that filled him with humiliation?

If I had known earlier, I would have known what. If I had known earlier, I should not have treated him like that in the first place.

Oh, when a man is about to die, his words are good, right?

If there is an afterlife, haha, but, in this life, their family owes him after all!

How do you still have the nerve to talk about the afterlife?

I am unable to repay the debts of this life!

When the time comes, my life suddenly flashes through my mind, and I realize how ridiculous I was before. So, this ending seems acceptable, right?

Alas, a soft sigh dissipated in the wind, and the skinny hands like an old woman tightly grasped the book in her arms. Brother Gu Yan, if God has eyes, let this book atone for our sins. In this way, can it offset what our family owes you?

A line of tears flowed down her cheeks. Brother Gu Yan, I'm sorry! If there is an afterlife, if there is an afterlife... She finally closed her eyes helplessly.

The wind blew, bringing with it an anxious and panicked cry, "Gu Qingzhi"...

Gu Yan, who was rushing over, was finally a step late.

Gu Qingzhi floated in the air in a daze, and was heartbroken when she saw him holding her body.

She was terrified. What happened to her? Was she dead?

But why was she still here after she died? After death, shouldn't she go to the underworld? She didn't see the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons either.

All that was seen was Gu Yan holding her body, sitting silently for a whole day, and finally, under the persuasion of people around him, he buried her with his own hands next to her mother's loess grave.

Seeing his hands stained with blood and mud, she suddenly wanted to hug her cousin.

This family member, whom they regarded as unlucky and avoided at all costs, was kicked out of the house at a young age. The cousin had a lame leg and was struggling to make a living with a pair of younger siblings.

But she couldn't hug him, her hands passed through his body, he couldn't hear her voice, she was standing next to him, but he could see nothing!

She didn't expect it was really him, and she didn't expect he would be so sad if she died.

Shouldn't he hate her to death?

Obviously, they had hurt him like that before...

Gu Yan was silent in front of her grave for a whole day. When he left, he murmured, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well..."

What is being protected? No one knows.

Gu Qingzhi lost consciousness, and when she woke up she found herself in the jade pendant that Gu Yan was wearing.

Since then, she has been following him all the time, until now. How long has it been? Gu Qingzhi thought about it and it should be about ten years.

When she saw him avenge their family, she realized that the tragedy in their family was not accidental, but was deliberately done by someone!

Seeing him rise step by step from a scholar of the Hanlin Academy to the powerful prime minister today, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, yet still alone.

Others only saw his infinite glory, but she was the only one who knew the hard work and efforts he put in, which resulted in him being plagued by chronic illness at the age of only in his 30s!

While she was distracted, Gu Yan had returned to the desk, opened the medical book, picked up a pen and began to copy it stroke by stroke on the paper.

Over the past ten years, she had seen him do this countless times, so much so that she could already recite the contents of the medical book by heart.

But her brother Gu Yan copied this medical book over and over again. There was a cabinet in his study, which was full of medical books he copied. It was estimated that there were nearly a thousand copies.

Gu Qingzhi didn't understand why he had been copying the book day after day for decades, but seeing how frail he looked, she didn't feel comfortable leaving him here alone, so she quietly floated behind him and watched him copy the book.

My thoughts drift away involuntarily...

This medical book was given to her by a woman who passed by the village not long after the famine began.

At that time, she was with a child and fainted from hunger on the roadside in Sheng Tang. She happened to come down from the mountain and felt pity for them, so he gave them two steamed buns and a bowl of water. After waking up, the woman thanked him profusely and said that she was going to Beijing to look for her relatives and passed by here, but her travel money was robbed and she fainted from hunger in Sheng Tang.

The woman was a grateful person. She had no valuables on her, so she gave her the handwritten medical book she was carrying.

At that time, she repeatedly emphasized that she accepted it because it was only a handwritten copy, and also to reassure the woman.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy later.

After Gu Yange got the book, the doctor completely cured his leg disease with the help of this medical book, and later he was able to go to the battlefield and lead troops to fight.
