Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 188 The Cause of Vomiting Blood

Su Ran's heart instantly rose to his throat, and his body involuntarily tensed up slightly.

At this moment, Shen Li's voice rang in his ears again: "Alas, I haven't learned how to feel the pulse systematically, so it seems that I'm not very accurate!"

Shen Li suddenly had an idea in her mind. She flipped her little hand lightly and magically took out a bowl of spiritual spring water from the space.

She carefully lifted Su Ran's body up a little, straightened his head, then slowly reached out and brought the bowl to Su Ran's mouth.

Her slender little hand gently pinched Su Ran's chin, allowing the spiritual spring water to slowly flow into his mouth.

Su Ran drank the water without any preparation and was almost startled to the point of opening her eyes and waking up.

Fortunately, he reacted instantly, forced himself to remain calm, and cooperated with Shen Li's little hand pinching his chin, drinking the spiritual spring water mouthful by mouthful.

As the spiritual spring water entered his stomach, Su Ran felt that the torn wounds inside his body seemed to be slowly healing. The indescribable feeling of comfort made him wonder if it was his illusion.

But the body is indeed gradually regaining strength and is no longer as weak and painful as before.

So, after a while, he pretended to slowly open his eyes and wake up.

Shen Li saw Su Ran wake up and smiled happily: "You are finally awake, how do you feel?"

Su Ran sat up, looked at Shen Li gratefully, and said, "Thank you, young lady, for saving me again. I am very grateful."

Shen Li waved her hands and said, "Don't be too busy thanking me. I'm just doing what I can. Why did you suddenly vomit blood and fall to the ground? Is it a relapse of an old injury?"

Su Ran lowered his head slightly, as if thinking about how to answer. After a moment, he slowly said, "To be honest, young lady, I... I have studied some esoteric techniques. I was seriously injured before for spying on the secrets of heaven. Recently, I felt that my body had recovered, so I wanted to try again, but I didn't expect to suffer such a backlash." His voice was a little weak, but he still tried to keep it steady.

Shen Li was shocked when she heard this. Although she knew that there were many mysterious things in the world, she was still shocked to hear with her own ears that Su Ran suffered such a misfortune because of prying into the secrets of heaven.

"This matter of prying into the secrets of heaven is too dangerous. Why do you still want to take the risk?"

Shen Li asked with a frown, a hint of blame and concern in her eyes.

Su Ran sighed softly and smiled bitterly, "Young lady, you don't know this. I have many unanswered questions in my heart. My own destiny, and some of the secrets of this world, seem to be shrouded in a fog. I long to find the truth, even if the cost is huge."

He raised his head and looked at the little girl in front of him with complicated eyes, which revealed a hint of determination and helplessness.

Shen Li tilted her head slightly, her ears focused on catching every word Su Ran said, but her eyes were a little empty, as if she was trapped in the web of her own thoughts.

She thought to herself: Su Ran talks so freely, and the implications of his words seem to indicate that he is just like the fortune tellers you often see on the street, right?

This thought flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but curl her lips slightly.

She shook her head slowly, feeling helpless.

In this technologically advanced modern society, there are many fortune tellers in the streets and alleys who claim to be able to glimpse the mysteries of fate, and many of them are blind.

I was always confused when I saw it before, but now after listening to Su Ran’s story, is it really as the rumors say, that he was punished by heaven because he peeped into the secrets of heaven, and that’s why he paid the price with his own light?

Shen Li felt that this approach was too stupid and too reckless. Was it worth sacrificing such a precious thing for the illusory secret of heaven?

If there really is a secret of cause and effect in this world, how could it be so easily seen by mortals, and why would they pay such a painful price?

After Su Ran slowly recounted his experiences and thoughts, he became quiet, his deep eyes staring quietly at the little girl in front of him.

Shen Li's eyebrows were furrowed from time to time, as if she was troubled by some difficult puzzle.

Sometimes he shook his head gently, as if he was not satisfied with the answer in his heart.

Thoughts surged like the tide in those lively eyes, but he had no idea what kind of strange or profound and unique ideas were swirling in that clever little head.

Shen Li opened her red lips slightly, breaking the silence: "Su Ran, what you said is like a phantom in the fog, too ethereal and unpredictable. I know that you have a fear of the fickleness of fate and a desire to explore it, but please don't get caught up in it anymore, desperately pursuing the so-called secrets of heaven."

Shen Li frowned slightly, her eyes full of sincerity and concern, "When people live in this world, their destiny is always in their own hands.

Whether the road ahead is smooth or full of thorns, it is all shaped by our choices and actions at every step.

If you put your hopes solely on fate and try to get a glimpse of something from the unknown, you will end up like a shadow chasing the wind and lose yourself in vain.

If you have lofty ambitions and extraordinary abilities, you should use your own strength to carve out a smooth path in this world, rather than lingering on this mysterious path and wasting your time and energy."

Shen Li slowly stood up, her light-colored skirt swaying gently, as if with a hint of determination.

Her gaze lingered briefly on Su Ran, a look of helplessness, worry, and yet also a hint of determination. She lightly moved her feet, each step making a slight, rhythmic sound as it pounded upon the ground. Each step felt like it was treading upon Su Ran's heart.

She didn't look back, and her slender figure gradually moved away until it disappeared from Su Ran's sight.

Su Ran lay quietly on the bed, as if she was under a spell.

His eyes were deep and gloomy as he looked in the direction where Shen Li left, his thoughts running wildly like a wild horse.

He repeatedly pondered Shen Li's words in his mind, and those words struck his soul like a heavy hammer.

He began to wonder whether his persistent pursuit of the secrets of heaven was really a wrong path.

Should we really hold the reins of fate tightly in our own hands and rely on our own strength to write the chapter of the future?

But the mystery hidden deep in fate attracted him like a magnet, making it difficult for him to let go completely.

His brows gradually furrowed as he fell into deep thought. The air around him seemed to freeze, and only the waves in his heart continued to surge.
