Chapter 5
He Was the First Person Who Had Been Reborn
Third Uncle, who had been silent the whole time, also said, “I’ll go and take a look too. Most of the people who were bitten by the Cobra won’t survive. Song Xiuyan’s life is tough…” His father had died of illness, and his mother had remarried. His third brother had offended someone who had broken his leg and fallen ill. Now, his second brother had been bitten by a poisonous snake… Under such circumstances, he was still willing to take Ding Yao in. Since Song Xiuyan was willing to marry Ding Yao, then they would be relatives in the future. No matter what, they had to lend a hand.
Ding Hua also wanted to follow him, but Wang Hongxia pulled her back. “You’re a lady. You want to see a dead person? Hurry up and follow me home!” She said. However, in reality, she was worried that if Song Xiuyan’s second brother died, Song Xiuyan would use this opportunity to not bring Ding Yao into the house. Therefore, she had to go home first to make preparations.
Ah-jie saw Song Xiuyan coming over and immediately turned around to lead the way. “It’s just ahead.”
The two of them walked very quickly and arrived at the place in a short while. Song Yang, who was 18 years old, was sitting with his back against a big tree. One of his legs was swollen and bleeding from the bite. His lips were pale. Beside him was a cobra that had been beaten to death. When he saw Song Xiuyan coming over, Song Yang shouted weakly, “Brother…”
Song Xiuyan’s body stiffened when he saw this scene. He endured the pain and bent down to say to Song Yang, “Come up. I will carry you to the doctor.”
“Brother, it’s too late.” Although Song Yang was young, he still knew some things. For example, he couldn’t be saved after being bitten by a cobra. The reason he was able to hold on until Song Xiuyan came over was because he had used his inner strength to suppress the spread of the snake’s poison. Now that he could see his big brother, he was already satisfied. Song Yang grabbed Song Xiuyan’s hand and said him word by word, “After I die, you have to be strong… you still have to raise our younger brother and sister, and you have to make third brother stand up again… you… aren’t allowed to give up…”
Song Xiuyan was heartbroken as he hugged Song Yang tightly. He knew that it was already too late to send Song Yang down the mountain.
Song Yang endured the pain of being infected by the poison and tried his best to comfort Song Xiuyan. “Don’t blame yourself, blame me… It’s all my fault for not listening to you… It’s all my fault for not believing in your dream…”
Song Xiuyan was even sadder. “It’s not your fault,. It’s all my fault… It’s all my fault…” It was all his fault for being too stubborn. It was all his fault!
Song Yang shook his head. He wanted to comfort Song Xiuyan, but he could no longer breathe and couldn’t speak.
Song Xiuyan could no longer hold back his grief. He let out a heart-wrenching roar, “Ah!” Why, why did the heavens treat him like this?! They wanted him to relive his past life and walk the same path as he did in his previous life! Song Xiuyan was said to be a scourge from the moment he was born. He would jinx his father and mother to death, and he would be alone for the rest of his life. In his previous life, he did indeed lose his parents, his younger brother and sister, and even his fiancée whom he had never met before was killed by him! He refused to admit defeat. He fought his way out of the mountains and gained the recognition of the nobles. He set up his own company and saw a bright future ahead of him. For some reason, he was killed by someone. Song Xiuyan thought that his life would end tragically like this. Who would have thought that he would be reborn… seven days before his rebirth, his father had already died and his mother had already remarried. There was nothing he could do. However, he still had a chance to protect his younger brothers and sister.
At that time, his second brother, Song Yang, had not been bitten to death by a poisonous snake. Therefore, Song Xiuyan swore that he would protect his younger brothers and sister in this life. He would defy the heavens and change his fate! Therefore, he strictly forbade Song Yang from leaving the house. He also didn’t allow him to go to the land that had been bitten by a snake in his previous life. He also bought a lot of realgar powder and made a realgar pendant, which he requested Song Yang to carry with him. Song Yang was puzzled by this. Song Xiuyan was unable to explain to him about his rebirth. He could only say that he had a dream and wanted Song Yang to be more careful.
Song Xiuyan stayed at home for five days and five nights. Song Yang also didn’t go out for five days and five nights. In the end, Song Yang couldn’t stand it anymore and insisted on going up the mountain to hunt, because if they didn’t go into the mountain, there would be no food at home.
These five days were considered peaceful. Song Xiuyan thought that as long as he avoided the place where Song Yang was bitten by a snake in his previous life and avoided the time when he was bitten by a snake, he could change Song Yang’s fate. Who would have thought that… In the end, Song Yang was bitten by a cobra on the mountain! If he had known this would happen, he would never have allowed Song Yang to go out!
While Song Xiuyan was crying his heart out, Ding Yao finally arrived, panting heavily. Unlike Song Xiuyan, who knew kung fu and could cross mountains and ridges very quickly, she had to be careful to avoid thorns along the way. She also had to stabilize herself so that she wouldn’t fall off the cliff.
