Chereads / IMMORTAL STORYTELLER / Chapter 5 - In Forest

Chapter 5 - In Forest

Xiu Luo silently watched both of them and people around him. But there was nothing he can do.

There was only hate and unwillingness in his eyes which was filled with despair.

Yes, Qin Xueqing was right there was nothing he could give her, he had already lost everything.

Firstly, His fiancé.

Secondly, his grandmother.

And now his life.

After soldier heard Prince command, they started acting quickly, taking Xiu Luo to side alley, crushing his legs and hands. As he was mortal and already weak he had shown no resistance. But pain of breaking his leg and hand was heart wrenching.

But he had already felt the pain of losing his closed ones and betrayal, so this pain was nothing compared to that.

As he was taken by soldiers to the God Sealing Mountain forest he looked last time at Qin Xueqing whose gaze, was already on prince which was filled with love.

He regretted it, falling in love again. Especially with someone like her.

Actually this was his second time falling in love first time was in childhood when he had fallen in love with his neighborhood girl.

He tried to confess her, but he was not good at speaking, so he tried to confess her by his action.

But he was rejected and harshly. He was also beaten up by her boyfriend.

In his depressing moment, Qin Xueqing helped and consoled him. At that moment he had fallen in love with her and with her kindness.

But once again history repeated. But this time there was no one to console him.

That's not right, it was recreated by him.

Two hours later, Xiu Luo was alone in the forest dumped by soldiers.

He stared blankly at the sky. He remembered two line, that was,

'Human's heart is most unpredictable and Women's heart is the most powerful poison.'

True, hah…, due to single women he lost his entire world.

But what has gone wrong, was his love or his faith.

Xiu Luo had many thought like this due to despair, in the end there was only pain and regret.

As he was in the forest there were many sounds of wild animals and wild insects who slowly moved toward himself.

To attract some animals to eat him soldiers had cut his veins to make blood flow which can attract animals.

Due to blood loss or was it due to tension or rejection, he consciousness was slowly fading away.

There was no meaning to his life, so he might as well die where no one can remember him.

In the end all this come from love.

"Do you want to live?"

He heard an old man's voice filled with heaviness and vicissitude.

Was this his hallucination or really there was some voice?

"Do you want to live?"

He heard one again but there was no meaning to it as there was nothing in this world he can live for.

"Do you want to live?"

"Do you want to live?"

"Do you want to live?"

"Do you want to live?"

"Do you ...….

He heard voice many times in his mind.

'Ok, lets answer him or he will not let me die peacefully'

Due to his kindness or old man's voice repeatedly questioning him he finally answered.

"No, don't want to live"

"Why?"

"Because there is nothing in this world left for me, my granny died, to-be-wife left me, is there anything left in the world for me to live?"

"Yes, there is"

"Huh, what?"
