Chapter 880 The World Is Full of Suffering

Wu Haitang was buying vegetables at the market when he suddenly saw Li Changxiao and had mixed feelings in his heart. She saw Li Changxiao waving to her again, looking completely at a loss for a moment. The two of them did not have a close friendship, but Wu Haitang looked at Li Changxiao riding a horse and replied in a daze that the great world of seeking change had just begun.

At that time, she also headed north, one person and one horse. Li Changxiao got off his horse and came over to say hello. Wu Haitang was polite and responded with a smile. But I can't help but think of the first time we met.

The two met on the road to change. But Wu Haitang was still young at the time and had a pampered temperament. After learning that Li Changxiao was a nobody, he had no intention of making friends with him.

Unexpectedly, today, I am old and sallow, but the unknown drunkard I once looked down on is still as beautiful as ever. Li Changxiao saw that she was holding vegetables in her right hand and medicinal materials in her left hand. He kept asking: "Are you sick? I know some medical skills."

Wu Haitang was not interested at all. He was immersed in his own emotions and kept thinking about the past. It’s just that time is cruel, and youthful glory is gone forever. When she was young, she never thought that she, too, would grow old. As time goes by, these should gradually adapt. Wu Haitang has accepted the reality and easily forgets the past. But he saw Li Changxiao. The old man from seven hundred years ago appears again. Everything in the past should come to you one after another.

My years are gone, but my old self is still young. Wu Haitang forced a smile and walked a long way alone. I passed by pedestrians, but I couldn't remember them at all.

When Li Changxiao saw her look like this, he thought that Wu Haitang didn't seem to welcome him, so he didn't want to pester her. When he was about to leave. Wu Haitang suddenly came to his senses, turned around and asked, "Do you know medical skills?" Li Changxiao nodded.

Wu Haitang asked: "How is the medical skill?" Li Changxiao said: "Not bad." Wu Haitang felt coy for a while, facing Li Changxiao, he felt uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart. There are always "fear", "inferiority" and "awkwardness" at play. If she had treated Li Changxiao calmly and made sincere friends with him, even if they met by chance, they would never be so awkward when they meet again in the future.

It's a pity that she was too young at the time and ignored Li Changxiao. Although she didn't say anything verbally, she really looked down on him in her heart. At this moment, I wanted to ask for something again, but I didn't dare to ask for it. Li Changxiao could see where she was in embarrassment. He had always been generous, and he had ignored Wu Haitang's contempt for her seven hundred years ago. Don't do it one thing. Now that more than seven hundred years have passed, how can there be any resentment? In his mind, Wu Haitang was just an old person he had met twice before. Although there is not much friendship, there is a saying that "old people have their own old relationships." Sometimes familiarity is also a form of friendship.

So he took the initiative and said, "I'm very hungry. Do you live nearby? Can you ask for food?" Wu Haitang was overjoyed and quickly agreed, thinking that it would be much easier to ask for help after eating. Over the years, she has been living in the city, and she has become accustomed to the people and sophistication of her neighbors and countryside. He is no longer as arrogant as he was when he was young and did as he pleased.

Wu Haitang originally wanted to make it simple for a meal, but when he met Li Changxiao, it couldn't be easier anymore. So he took Li Changxiao and wandered in the market. The two of them chatted about daily life and the past. Wu Haitang calculated every detail and bought some more pigs, sheep, and beef. When I was paying the bill, I felt a pain in my face. It was obvious that money was hard-earned and I had experienced the hardships in the world.

Li Changxiao didn't say anything, but he felt a sigh of relief in his heart. Once a proud man, there were times when he was worried about a few copper coins. I wanted to help pay some money a few times. But he found that he was also very poor, and seemed to be no better.

From immortality to mortal life, it is natural to be uncomfortable in every possible way. Li Changxiao has always been in the mortal world, always worrying about money. Wu Haitang saw that the fish and shrimps in the market were very fresh. After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and bought two large shrimps. I felt sad and bitter in my heart, thinking that all my belongings could not afford a decent banquet.

She smiled apologetically at Li Changxiao. Li Changxiao told her that his good horse was secretly taken from a wealthy family's house. He was also penniless and had not eaten for several days. As long as there is food to eat, I will be very happy.

Wu Haitang finally felt much better and led Li Changxiao out of the market and towards a remote hut in the town. After the initial embarrassment, Wu Haitang gradually relaxed and took the initiative to talk about his situation on the way back to the house.

It turns out that her current livelihood depends entirely on collecting herbs and weaving. She has enough food and clothing on weekdays, but she can't save much money. Li Chang couldn't help but wonder, so he asked Wu Haitang why he didn't use his skills to make money.

Even though a monk is lonely, there is a saying that "people become better with age". Over a long life, the knowledge and skills accumulated should be enough to make a good living in the mortal world, and they don't dare to end up in this mess.

Wu Haitang smiled bitterly. She didn't think so. The cruelty of this world is far beyond her imagination. She has been in the mortal world for more than two hundred years. At first, she and her husband Zhou Tian worked as a jade and treasure ware clerk, and lived a prosperous and healthy life.

But at that time, the world was in chaos, and national wars continued. One day, the war burned down to their jade shop, and the family had no choice but to flee, and all their wealth was wiped out. Later, he moved to several big countries in succession. Every time he started to make progress, he encountered great chaos.

After repeating this process, both husband and wife became disheartened. Later, the two of them got tired of dealing with people and the chaos of the world, so they found a secluded place where men farmed and women weaved to become self-sufficient. Although this kind of life is a little dull, it is always peaceful and peaceful.

Unfortunately, Zhou Tian became seriously ill and was bedridden. Wu Haitang took him everywhere to seek medical treatment, and gradually spent all his previous savings. Zhou Tian lost his ability, and the burden of life fell entirely on Wu Haitang.

She was a master of musical and dancing skills, but women who performed for money were mostly in prostitutes. She was very reluctant. But when she thought of her husband Zhou Tian who was seriously ill and crying, she went to a brothel and signed a contract, saying that she would only sell her art but not her body.

She did make a lot of money in the first two years. But after another two years, she began to look old and began to be despised. Zhou Tian knew that she was in a brothel, and he beat and scolded her more often, and there was no longer the love between husband and wife as before.

At this point, Wu Haitang couldn't help but burst into tears and sobbed softly.
