Chapter 560 - 560 A Tear
560 A Tear
Zhou Zhi and Su Xiaolu had disappeared together. It was not difficult to guess that they were together now.
“Thank you, Senior. If there’s a need, Jin Liu will definitely repay you with his life.”
Jin Liu kowtowed to Elder Niu and said solemnly.
Although he did not know where his master and Miss Su were now, he knew that they were together, so he was relieved.
His master was a very long-lived person. Jin Liu also remembered this sentence.
Elder Niu smiled. “Of course you have to repay me. Wait a moment. I’m not interested in your life, and I don’t want you to do anything for me. But I want a tear from you. Give me a tear, and we’ll be even.”
Although he was a slave, he was sincere and fearless. It was rare.
It was not too much to ask for just one tear. However, Jin Liu looked troubled. He looked at Elder Niu and said truthfully, “Senior, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. I have no tears left and can’t cry anymore.”
A person like him did not know what tears were.
Elder Niu waved his hand calmly and said confidently, “I have my ways. Just tell me if you agree.”
How could he not know that such a person had crawled out of a pile of dead people? They bled and sweated, but they would not cry. However, this was for others. It was different when they met him.
Seeing Elder Niu’s confidence, Jin Liu didn’t refuse anymore. He nodded. “Alright, I promise you, Senior.”
“Then wait a moment.”
Elder Niu turned around and went into the cabin. Soon, he took out a small transparent bottle. There was already some water-like substance inside.
Elder Niu asked Jin Liu to sit down and close his eyes.
Elder Niu took a pen and drew a complicated rune on Jin Liu’s face, making him close his eyes.
After a person closed their eyes, their hearing would become stronger. Elder Niu’s nagging voice entered Jin Liu’s ears. Jin Liu felt that the voice was getting louder and filling his entire mind. It said, “Go.”
Jin Liu only felt that his mind was like thousands of mirrors. He saw many things from the past.
What he couldn’t let go of the most was being abandoned at birth.
However, when this memory became clear in his mind, he saw the helplessness of a lowly woman.
She was not supposed to be pregnant, but she was pregnant with him.
Before the child was born, those mothers had already started planning. If it was a man, they would raise a fair-faced gigolo. If it was a daughter, they would nurture her into a prostitute. No matter if it was a man or a woman, they would not have a good ending. They would just be for the amusement of others.
Even if she loved him, she did not have the ability to protect him.
In the brothel, human lives were the most worthless. A woman’s life was even cheaper than a rat in a smelly ditch. The people who received her were also inferior-class. They squeezed out the last bit of value they had. In the end, they were thrown into the mass grave with a tattered straw mat.
In that case, it was better not to be born.
Therefore, when he was born, he was personally smothered to death by his mother. He heard her say, “My son, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being born in the wrong place. Instead of living like an animal, why don’t you end your reincarnation now and go to a good family in your next life?”
The woman’s tears were like boiling water, falling on his face, burning his heart.
He felt that his body was very cold, and all his resentment turned into relief. There were people in this world who were born to experience the suffering of the human world. He was not the only one in this world. There were thousands of him. He was unlucky, but he was much luckier than thousands of others like him.
“Wake up, all right.”
A shout sounded beside his ear. Jin Liu snapped out of his daze and realized that his vision was a little blurry. He seemed to be crying.
Elder Niu had already put away the tear-inducing bottle in satisfaction. He said to Jin Liu calmly, “I’ve taken what I wanted. You can leave now.”
“Child, go back and sleep. There’s still a long time. Let them guard.”
Elder Niu turned his head and said kindly and dotingly to his little disciple.
Jin Liu touched the wetness on his face. He was indeed crying.
Looking at Elder Niu again, Jin Liu didn’t even look at him long. He flew away without stopping.
Little Niu obediently grabbed Elder Niu’s sleeve and followed him into the cabin.
An Cheng and An Lie looked at each other. An Cheng touched his nose in embarrassment. “You brat, you’ve stirred up trouble for our ancestral grave.”
If it weren’t for An Lie, they wouldn’t have met these people at all, and they would never have interacted with each other in their lives.
“Little Lie, how did you meet Miss Su?”
An Cheng was a little curious. He sized up An Lie carefully and pondered.
During this period of time, they also found out about Su Xiaolu’s real name. Her name was not Su Lu, but Su Xiaolu. She was not a Young Master, but a girl.
An Lie scratched his head and told him about his observations and tracking.
An Cheng sighed. “Our ancestral grave is really full of smoke. Otherwise, such a thing wouldn’t have happened to us.”
In the beginning, what was left for Su Xiaolu must have been a very bad influence, but in the end, An Lie could not bring himself to do it. His honesty turned the situation around. To be honest, ordinary people did not have this generosity. If it were him, he would not be like An Lie.
If it were him, he would probably not be like this now. It could even be said that no one else could be like An Lie.
It seemed that one had to be kind-hearted. This was what the ancients often said about good people being rewarded.
An Lie smiled and silently meditated to cultivate his inner force.

Su Xiaolu carried Zhou Zhi for a long time before sitting down to rest.
It was very cool in the forest, but there was one advantage. The spiritual energy was even richer.
They had also encountered more living creatures. There were no large ferocious beasts in this forest. It was simply a paradise for reproduction.
Be it birds flying in the sky or creatures running on the ground, they were all in groups. For example, hares, wild deer, wild sheep, and bison could be seen often. They were not aggressive and lived leisurely.
This was a paradise.
Su Xiaolu ate the jerky and suddenly said, “Fourth Brother, don’t you think we look like demons? We might be the only carnivores on this island.”
It seemed a little sinful, but the jerky in her hand was really fragrant. Su Xiaolu swallowed her saliva with a wide range of recipes.
Zhou Zhi smiled. “Xiaolu, it’s not just us.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi in confusion.
Zhou Zhi added, “This entire island is the largest carnivore. After these creatures die, they turn into nutrients and are absorbed, so trees actually eat meat.”
When a ferocious beast could not be seen, plants were the largest ferocious beasts.
Su Xiaolu nodded with a smile. “Fourth Brother is right. Fourth Brother is so smart.”
The unconscious praise was fatal. Su Xiaolu never knew that such praise made people very happy. Zhou Zhi lowered his eyes slightly and secretly blushed.
After resting enough, the two of them continued their journey.
Su Xiaolu knew a lot of herbs. Zhou Zhi knew a lot of plants. He could even name the inconspicuous grass by the roadside.
