Chapter 50 - Phoenix Jadeite (1)
Some people say that good luck can be shared, but in reality what they share is just the atmosphere of celebration, not the true sharing of other people's luck to you.
Even this sort of unfortunate luck could not be shared.
great valor thought for a long time before he finally told me the real reason.
The great valor was originally a truck driver in a village and had not rested all year round. Especially in winter, when he rested at the side, he would often travel long distances in order to earn more money.
However, the carriage did not have any heating facilities, so as time passed, great valor got a cold leg at a young age. He was not afraid of anything, only that his leg would hurt in the winter and be extremely painful.
Every year, before winter came, he would go to the town to buy some medicine to treat his old legs in case he needed to get through the winter.
A week ago, after he had bought his medicine in the nearest town, he had come back to find that there was a store selling his favorite stinky tofu on the railway station path.
great valor just drank two more bottles of wine and ate a few more bouquets of stinky tofu, delaying the time.
He had planned to arrive home at 7 p.m., only to return to the village at 11 p.m.
At that time, the great valor had already missed the last bus, so he had no choice but to pay a high price to hire a tricycle to drive himself back.
But tonight, great valor had a nagging feeling that something was wrong! Although he had walked this path a thousand times, he did not know why, but tonight, he always felt that this path was different from usual.
great valor looked around carefully. Along the way, they were surrounded by bamboo forests and small paths that were bumpy and full of potholes. It was exactly the same as when he came here.
Ah Yong looked around at the familiar surroundings and kept feeling unwell. After a while, he suddenly realized the difference tonight.
There were many lights on the road tonight.
great valor clearly remembered that the surroundings were woods and no one lived in this place. Although the distance from this road to the village was not even half an hour, because the nearby land was relatively low and wet all year round, which made it unsuitable for human habitation, this place belonged to a blank space. There were no villas, nor were there any farmers.
great valor looked towards the lights, only to find that at the end of the lights, there was the constant sounds of children playing, boys and girls fighting in one place. Occasionally, he would hear some merchants selling their goods, but the lights were all around them, creating a scene of prosperity.
great valor felt that it was strange, because his eyesight was always very good, and the place where the lights were lit was only around 50 metres away. For some reason, he could only hear the sounds but not see anyone.
The most important thing was that the great valor was not afraid, but the problem was that the place with the light was actually a graveyard inside the village. A few days ago, a friend of his, whose father had passed away, helped with the funeral and went to that place.
Thinking about it, great valor's speed became faster and faster. He increased his speed to the throttle and kept on running.
Not long after, they finally arrived at the village. In this village, the first house that entered was a house that was completely empty.
This family used to be a family of three, but an accident happened in the village. When the family of three was burning coal at home, they accidentally fell asleep, and the family of three was completely burnt to death by the smoke.
Furthermore, the neighbors all felt that this was bad luck, so they all hid far away. One by one, they moved far away.
When great valor drove past this house, he took a look at the empty and ice-cold room before continuing onward. However, not long after, he suddenly realized that he had returned!
great valor was puzzled, when he was driving, he had always been driving in a straight line, so how could he possibly drive back?
The great valor shook his head and looked at the surrounding routes again. This time, he was careful, and after walking for a distance, he dropped two pieces of trunk's firewood on the ground. He pointed to the bamboo forests around and he noticed that her own trunk's logs were all pine trees cut down from the mountains.
