“I’ll buy a house and a car, and rely on my skills. I’ll build a farm or be a guide for tourists, which is enough for our family to eat and drink.”
Mother Li touched her daughter’s hand, and a kind smile appeared on her wrinkled face: “Going to university is just a way out. But since there are other options, it doesn’t matter if you go to university or not. When you get the chance, just repay others well and don’t do ungrateful things.”
Li Li nodded solemnly, then turned to look at Li Ke again.
Li Ke lowered his head a little uncomfortable. He admitted that he did have some selfish thoughts. Obviously, he knew that his sister ate the ginseng fruit of the baby ginseng spirit, which caused all these events to happen. But when he thought of his sister’s life after being bound to the baby ginseng spirit, not only she had to give up the college entrance examination and go to the university in the capital, but also may not be able to go back home for several years or even a lifetime, he couldn’t accept it. Besides, as Master Lin said, the road of cultivation was not that easy, Li Li just got the ticket, and no one knows what will happen in the future. Maybe Li Li will still be young after a hundred years, but she may also stay in the mountains for a lifetime, unable to break through and finally die full of disappointment.
Everyone said that becoming immortal was good, but they couldn’t see the thorns behind it. Li Ke felt that he really couldn’t be so fair to the twin sister of the same mother. He just wanted to let his sister walk on a better path. Even if life was short, at least he will meet someone he loves and gives birth to a cute baby in the company of his family. Although it was plain, it was indeed the simplest happiness.
“Sister, have you made up your mind?” Li Ke said eagerly: “Actually, you don’t have to worry too much. If there is any punishment or retribution, I will bear it for you, so don’t force it.”
“I’m not reluctant.” As a twin, Li Li understood Li Ke’s mind very well, and she explained to him patiently: “Although I thought that the time I spent in the mountains with the baby ginseng was short, the kind of person who is one with nature feels good. I can admire the clouds in the sky, feel the wind blowing from my side, jump into the river and play with the fish, I don’t have to do questions or worry about the college entrance examination, maybe you can say that I am escaping, but I like the feeling of being completely relaxed. What’s more, the baby ginseng is cute. After eating his red ginseng fruit, I agreed with him. I think it is my blessing to meet him, and I don’t want to destroy such a blessing.”
Although Li Ke felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he still nodded: “I respect your choice. If he has had enough fun and goes home, or if you are tired of cultivating and want to give up, then you can come back with confidence. From now on, I will do my best to save some money and send it to you every month. Now I earn less through work-study, I only save 500 per month, but in the future, I will save more when I work. I am your backing, and you can come back whenever you feel relieved. ”
Li Li had a smile on his face but his eyes were a little red: “Okay, sister got it!”
Lin Qingyin also finished eating a pot of persimmons after watching a show of goodbye. “It’s not like you can’t come back. You live so close that you can come back for dinner three times a day. What’s to be sad about it?”
Li Ke was a little confused: “But it’s not written like this in the novel…”
“It’s nothing but a story. For example, I don’t live the same as them. you. I go back home during the holidays and have a video call with my family once a day.” Lin Qingyin glanced at the gloomy sky outside the window and pouted unhappily: “you can’t achieve things without desire, but it’s fine if you don’t understand everything.”
