REINCARNATION GODDESS OF MEDICINE
69. Second Chance
Chang Rui felt that something was so dazzling that he could not open his eyes.
When the light turned dim, Chang Rui could see a man with long hair who was unraveled and wrapped in long white clothes.
Emitting a dazzling white radiance around his body, Chang Rui looked at this man with his mouth agape.
"Are you a God ?" Chang Rui asked doubtfully.
"I am the God of Life, you carry so much hatred when you die. Will make the reincarnation wheel stop spinning for a moment because of the great hatred you have. " Say the God of Life calmly.
"If so.... will my soul be destroyed to stabilize the reincarnation wheel ?" Chang Rui asked coldly.
"No. We as Gods cannot destroy souls arbitrarily, other than committing great crimes we are forbidden to do so." The God of life.
"So, what does an important God like you mean to come to me personally ? I knew if I had defied the rules of reincarnation, I should have died but regained a second chance with the memories intact. " Chang Rui said calmly.
"It was not a second chance, but indeed your destiny was already engraved like that. This time, I'll give you a second chance to restart everything. Even if you come back here in the end, I hope that you will let go of all the hatred that you carry at this moment. " The God of Life gave a smile to Chang Rui.
Chang Rui who heard this for a moment fell silent and looked at the God of Life with an incomprehensible gaze.
"Am I going to be born with the same identity in other words I'm going back to the past where I just occupied that place or am I going to continue with everything that already exists ?" Chang Rui asked with full questions.
"No, you're not going back in time. You will continue the journey of your life that has happened. You'll be a girl who's been drifting in the river. That girl is 15 years old, just like you. But he died trying to find firewood. " The God of Life.
"What about his parents ?" Ask Chang Rui.
"Both are dead, he was an orphan since he was 5 years old. That was a very long time. " The God of Life answered.
"What's his name ?" Ask Chang Rui.
"Chang Rui's..... " Say the God of Life with a meaningful gaze.
Chang Rui laughed lightly and nodded his head, it was no longer any use to use the same name.
"If so, when can I start again my second chance ?" Ask Chang Rui.
"Now !"
Chang Rui's gaze turned dark and was pushed away by a mysterious force that he did not understand.
Suddenly, Chang Rui coughed with a cough full of water and slowly heard the sigh of relief of an old man.
"At last you realize, I'm really worried that my abilities aren't enough to help you. " Say the old man.
Chang Rui slowly opened his eyes to see a man who might be 40 to 50 years old, wearing plain white clothes.
This old man's body was filled with the smell of medicine, it seemed that this man was a healer.
"Is this Master a Physician ?" Chang Rui asked weakly.
"Yes, but my abilities aren't high. I once followed a teacher in the Southwest, people called me as Physician Jiu." Said the old man.
"Thank you to Physician Jiu for helping me. "Chang Rui looked around and saw a girl accompanying the old man.
"This is my grandson, he's named Jiu Hua. " Say the Physician Jiu.
"Tabib Jiu, can I follow you as your disciple ?" Ask Chang Rui.
"I'm not a talented person, afraid he can't give you the teaching you deserve. " Say the Physician Jiu.
"Alright, alright. I will be your Master but you must regard me as your own parent. You and Jiu Hua will be brother and sister. " Shew Jiu accepted her as a disciple.
"Let me bow down to Master. " Chang Rui said.
"No need, your body is still weak. You need to take care of yourself more. " Shew Jiu said while holding her shoulder.
"You haven't said your name yet. " Tell Physician Jiu.
"Please you give me a name, both my parents live in the middle of the forest and are less educated to give me a name. I only knew my clan was Chang. " Chang Rui said as she lowered her head.
"I am also not a very learned person, but I know some names for children with beautiful meanings. " Shew Jiu said while thinking.
"What if it became the name of Chang Bao Yu, a beautiful and precious gem. "Continue Physician Jiu.
(Note: To prevent misunderstandings, it will be explained that this name author searches the internet with its meaning as well. )
"Thank you on behalf of the one given by Master, Bao Yu will cherish her wholeheartedly. " Chang Rui said as she lowered her head.
The memories of the owner of the body are not too much, so it is not too difficult to memorize them. Physician Jiu will go to the back of the hut house to boil the medicine.
"Jie jie, let me help you stand up. " Said Jiu Hua who was silent earlier.
"Yes, thank you for your kindness Miss Jiu. " Chang Rui said.
"No need to be awkward, just call her sister Hua. Now, we're all family. " Say the Physician Jiu.
Chang Rui nodded weakly at being swept away by Jiu Hua who might be only 10 or 11 years old.
"Sir Hua, how old are you ?" Ask Chang Rui.
"I'm 15 years old, Jie jie are you still sick ? You look so cold ? I'm so nervous. " Say Jiu Hua with heart.
"Don't be nervous, I don't eat people. Oh yeah, I don't know how long it's been drifting. Where are we at the moment ?" Ask Chang Rui.
She was quite surprised when she heard Jiu Hua's real age, this girl was really cute.
"We are currently in the north of the Qing Dynasty. " Say Jiu Hua.
"Oh yeah ? Who has become Emperor ?" Ask Chang Rui.
"It was Nangong Xi, the previous Crown Prince. The previous emperor had just died. " Say Jiu Hua.
Chang Rui who heard this suddenly laughed lightly which made Jiu Hua look confused as well as worried.
"Jie, what happened ?" Ask Jiu Hua.
"What about the other Prince ? Were they all killed ?" Chang Rui asked with a sneer.
"No, but some of them have died. But, of all the luckiest was Nangong Li. He was at this moment the Imperial Uncle, his paralysis had also been cured. But, it said he was a very cruel and cold-blooded person. " Answer Jiu Hua.
Chang Rui felt his heart sink, it turned out that he had been exchanged for the antidote from Nangong Li.
True naive, he had thought that he would be taken care of because he had treated Nangong Li, but in the end Nangong Li had found his antidote in Nangong Xi's hands and decided to cooperate with Nangong Xi.
"Sister Hua, I've heard a few words about this Nangong Li. The only thing you need to know is, he's a very cruel and cold-blooded person. I heard that he killed his own wife. " Chang Rui said softly.
"Is that a little scary ?" Jiu Hua asked with a pale face.
