Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

?

Sato stared at his daughter crying, his throat seemed to be sealed by a rusty iron lock.

It was not until the tiny tears condensed into bean-sized raindrops and fell on the moldy tatami that the corners of her mouth twitched violently.

Then he walked forward step by step and hugged Misaki in his arms, as if he was out of control, and kept muttering the same words:

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... It's Mom's fault..."

The broken tail sound fermented in the six-story rental house.

The afterimage of a wild cat passed by the window, and the rusty fire escape made a dying creaking sound, but it could not cover the sound of the woman's nails digging into her palms.

Su Qing sighed lightly and suddenly found his situation a little awkward.

Neither staying nor leaving.

Misfortune does not specifically target the unfortunate people, it’s just that the unfortunate people seem so helpless in the face of misfortune.

He was not indifferent, but how could he resonate with this grief?

Su Qing's thoughts suddenly became confused.

He thought of the dean again.

The dean, who was always surrounded by many children, could only lie helplessly on the bed in the last moments of his life, with only him by his side.

The constant pain from cancer penetrated deep into his bones, like nails hammering down the man's iron will.

It turns out that a person’s pain can reach that level.

Ordinary people can fall asleep after taking half a sleeping pill, but even if the dean takes two or three pills, he still feels so painful that he can't fall asleep...

Death may be a true relief for him.

But why did the dean, who devoted almost his entire life to charity, end up like this?

The more Su Qing thought about it, the colder his eyes became, like a lake frozen under the winter snow.

But when his eyes fell on the mother and daughter who were crying and hugging each other, his heart softened again.

If there was no cancer, regardless of how good her life would be, at least that poor mother would be able to watch her daughter grow up, right?

Such a thought arose in Su Qing's heart.

next moment.

A window suddenly appeared on Sato's head.

[Character: Sato Suzu]

[Condition: Weak (early stage liver cancer)]

[Detecting mood fluctuations, checking inner desires - can the target person's liver cancer be cured?]

[Cost: Pollution level increased by 5%]

Su Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. This was the first time that the system... appeared in front of him on its own initiative.

Will Sato's recovery be achieved by increasing the pollution level by 5%?

What does it mean?

Sato didn't hold Misaki for too long because Su Qing was left aside by the two of them.

She squatted down and wiped her daughter's tears, then smiled and said:

"Little Saki, the doctor said that mom has been exercising and taking medicine recently, and she will recover soon. You should study hard and stop selling flowers in the future, okay?"

Misaki choked up. She knew that taking medicine could only control cancer but would not cure it.

But she still nodded obediently.

The patient cannot have big ups and downs in emotions, so she has to be more obedient.

"Sorry, I lost my temper..."

"It's human nature, I can understand it."

Su Qing stood up and prepared to say goodbye, and Sato and her daughter walked him to the entrance.

Before leaving, he turned around and suddenly asked the mother a question.

"By the way, if it's convenient... could you tell me your name?"

"Eh...my name?" Sato blinked in confusion.

Although I was puzzled, I still replied:

"Sato Ling."

"Lily of the Valley's bell?"

"Yes, that bell."

Su Qing was silent for a moment, then said, "I know an elder who also had cancer like you, but he had a good mentality and lived to be over 70 years old."

After a pause, he smiled warmly:

"You will, too."

Sato first glanced at his daughter, then said gratefully: "That would be great, thank you for your blessing..."

Su Qing smiled and nodded. The moment he turned and stepped out of the room, the snow on the eaves slowly slid down and shattered on the rotten wooden steps, covering up some strange sounds.

[Choose successfully]

[The target person, Sato Suzu, has been cured of liver cancer]

[Price is being paid...]

[Current pollution level: 10%]

[??????????????

……

……

Current pollution level: 5%]

Sure enough...the degree of deepening is calculated based on the current state. Su Qing only needs to refresh and overwrite it again and again with the super memory archive.

However, Su Qing only planned to do this kind of bug-fixing thing this time.

Just think of it as... belated self-satisfaction.

Everything seems to be over, let's go home.

Su Qing glanced at the time, it was exactly eight o'clock.

As I was going down the stairs, I heard Misaki's hurried voice behind me, covering up the teeth-grinding groaning of the wooden steps.

"Wait, big brother!"

Seeing that Su Qing was not far away, Misaki trotted down happily and stretched out a delicate little hand with several ten-thousand-yuan bills in it.

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have lied to you, big sister, and others...

Oh, yes. This is the money my mother asked me to give you. There is a share for that big sister in it. Can you please give it to her?"

"Okay, I'll give it to her."

Su Qing put away the banknotes, thought about it, then squatted down, touched the little girl's head, and said softly.

"Study hard and don't lie to others again. Your mother won't be happy if she finds out. She's a patient now and you can't be angry. Do you understand?"

"I know..." Misaki lowered her eyes and spoke weakly, "But... I don't understand why you, big brother, also asked me to study hard? Studying is not the only way to make money."

Su Qing put his hand down and tapped Misaki's forehead.

“Ouch…! What are you doing?”

Misaki covered her forehead in pain and looked at Su Qing with tears in her eyes.

She just cried. College students don’t know how to love children at all!

“Studying is not the most suitable path, nor is it the only path, but it is the best path that 99% of people can take. Do you understand?”

"Oh...don't you understand?"

Misaki blinked and wondered if all the words spoken by college students were so profound?

Si Guoyi!

But is it possible that she is just a poor student and her language test score just barely passed...

"You will understand when you grow up, provided you remember what I said."

"When I grow up, can I be as smart as my big brother?"

Misaki asked excitedly.

"...Like me, that's a little difficult."

Su Qing said very frankly.

Misaki's face fell all of a sudden, and she complained, "Big brother, you seem a little thick-skinned..."

Children always speak their minds without restraint. Although it is childish, it is adorable.

Su Qing was not disgusted, he just smiled and said:

"It won't be too late to say this after you get admitted to Sobu University in Tokyo, or a school of the same level."

"Eh...what if I pass the exam?"

Misaki is still just a freshman in junior high school. Although she has heard of the reputation of Sobu University, she is still inexplicably confident.

It's similar to the confidence that "a 985 in the first year of high school, a 211 in the second year, and a first-class university in the third year will be enough."

"Haha, if you pass the exam, I can personally sponsor your tuition for a year."

"Really? Big brother, you are a very nice person!"

"What's so good about that? By then I'll have graduated from school. Where can you find me? Maybe I didn't even graduate from that school..."

Su Qing said with a smile, and suddenly found that Misaki was quite cute.

Well... being silly is also cute.

Misaki: 0.o?
