Chapter 279: The Pain of Separation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the room, Tang Jinghong woke Si Yingzong up. “Mr. Si, your legs are fixed. Try it.”

Si Yingzong’s blurry eyes instantly became clear. He immediately sat up and reached out to touch his legs…

He had legs!!!

He was extremely excited. He quickly lifted the blanket and saw a pair of legs that were as real as real could be. His eyes were red from excitement. “Legs, I really have legs.”

When Tang Jinghong saw how excited Si Yingzong was, he couldn’t help but feel happy for him. “Mr. Si, try getting out of bed.”

Si Yingzong quickly put on his pants and sat by the bed. After taking a deep breath, he tried to touch the ground with his feet…

He was surprised to find that he could actually feel the coolness and flatness of the ground.

He had a mix of emotions. He had probably met someone from another hidden family, a family that was even more secretive and powerful than his Si family. Otherwise, it was impossible for her to do this.

After calming down, he placed his arm on the edge of the bed and tried to stand up.

After sitting in a wheelchair for so many years, it was naturally impossible for him to be stable. As soon as he stood up, he fell to the side because he was not used to it.

Fortunately, Tang Jinghong held him in time. “Be careful.”

Tang Jinghong did not let go and continued to support Si Yingzong. “Mr. Si, try walking.”

Si Yingzong grabbed Tang Jinghong with both hands to stabilize his body, but he was overjoyed. He could stand up now.

He had thought that he would have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life…

Tang Jinghong’s voice was gentle. “Mr. Si, I’ll hold you steady. Don’t worry about falling.”

Si Yingzong looked at Tang Jinghong. If Tang Jinghong could fulfill his wish, he would definitely be loyal to him for the rest of his life.

As his emotions fluctuated, he took the first step. His body swayed a little.

Then, the second step. His swaying body stabilized slightly. The third step, the fourth step…

Chu Qingzhi heard footsteps and turned around. She saw Tang Jinghong helping Si Yingzong out. “Mr. Si, are you used to it? If not, I’ll make you a walking stick.”

Si Yingzong didn’t want to trouble Chu Qingzhi anymore, so he said, “Thank you, Miss Chu. I can get used to it. 1 don’t need a walking stick.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded and did not say anything else.

After Tang Jinghong helped Si Yingzong walk around the courtyard, Si Yingzong wanted to try to walk on his own. He picked up a stick and held it as he practiced slowly.

Tang Jinghong walked over and sat beside Chu Qingzhi. He asked with concern, “Are you tired?”

Chu Qingzhi shook her head. “I’m not tired.”

Tang Jinghong held Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “I’ll go and get some fruit for you.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”

The old woman walked over and saw Si Yingzong walking. She immediately shouted, “Amazing, amazing…”

Si Yingzong smiled. “Granny, why are you here?”

The old woman looked at Si Yingzong excitedly and said, “I came to see how you are doing, but I didn’t expect I would see you walking again.”

Upon hearing this, Si Yingzong suddenly thought that it was very likely that he would leave this place soon. He asked, “Granny, I’m leaving. Where do you want to go?”

The old woman obviously had no intention of leaving this place. She was stunned when she heard this. “You’re leaving?”

Si Yingzong avoided the old woman’s sad gaze. After living together for so long, he also felt bad that they had to be suddenly separated. “I’m leaving. Where do you want to go? I’ll send you there.”

The old woman seemed to understand something. She looked at Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong. “Are you going with them?”

Si Yingzong nodded. “Yes.”

After thinking for a long time, the old woman said, “I want to go to the northern border city. Do you have money? Can you buy me a house in the northern border city that can shelter me from the wind and rain and let me live the rest of my life in peace?”

Si Yingzong promised, “Alright, I’ll arrange everything for you.”

The old woman smiled. She looked at Si Yingzong as if she was looking at her son and asked expectantly, “Will you come back to see me in the future?”

Si Yingzong tightened his grip on the stick. “Granny, I’ll go to the capital this time.” In other words, he probably wouldn’t be able to come back and see her again.

The old woman’s tears immediately rolled down. She lowered her head and choked. “Then take good care of yourself. I’ll take good care of myself too…”

Si Yingzong felt a lump in his throat. “Granny, are you willing to go to the capital with me?”

The old woman waved her hand. “The capital is so far away. How can an old person like me take such an arduous journey? Just go. I hope you can have a good future and marry a wife. Don’t be alone.”

Si Yingzong looked away and wiped the tears that were flowing down his face. He said in a choked voice, “Okay, I promise you.”

The old woman stood up shakily. “I’m going to sleep.”

“Okay.”

With a hunched back, the old woman slowly walked further and further away. Her figure was gradually covered by the darkness.

Si Yingzong watched the old woman leave. The moonlight shone into his eyes, reflecting a tinge of reluctance.

The old woman took care of Si Yingzong day after day. She probably already treated Si Yingzong as her son. Now that her son was going on a long journey and might never see her again in this life, how could she not be sad?

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong looked at the old woman at the same time and sighed in their hearts.

The sad atmosphere of parting was gone…

Si Yingzong walked around the courtyard again and again tirelessly. Finally, after practicing for two hours, he threw away the stick in his hand.

He continued to walk without support. Gradually, he became more and more stable and was not much different from a normal person.

Si Yingzong looked up at the moonlight and took a deep breath. It smelled like freedom.

In the morning, Si Yingzong made breakfast and called the three of them over to eat.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong arrived very quickly.

Tang Jinghong glanced at Si Yingzong who had recovered quite well. “Mr. Si knows how to cook?”

Si Yingzong said awkwardly, “I can cook just one dish or two. Don’t mind it if it doesn’t taste good.”

Tang Jinghong smiled and said, “Mr. Si, you’re too humble.”

Chu Qingzhi looked around. “Where’s the old lady?”

“She might not have heard me. I’ll go and call her.” Si Yingzong walked out of the dining room.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong walked out of the dining hall and waited. The scenery in the courtyard was very beautiful. The moment they came out, they would see the crabapple tree. At this moment, bright flowers were blooming on the branches, like a young girl’s shy smile. It was extremely beautiful.

The two of them waited for a long time, but Si Yingzong did not return. They felt that something was wrong.

“Qingzhi, let’s go take a look.”

“Okay.”

The two of them walked to the door of the old woman’s room and heard suppressed cries. This…

Tang Jinghong walked in quickly. The room was very simple. There was only a set of teacups on the table. On the bed, the old woman was lying there peacefully with her eyes closed. She was dead.

Tang Jinghong walked closer and patted Si Yingzong’s shoulder. “My condolences.”

Si Yingzong said with difficulty, “General Tang, can you help me find a place with good feng shui to bury her?”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “I’ll try my best.”

Si Yingzong said gratefully, “Thank you..”
