Hearing this, Jiang Cheng solemnly nodded his head, then faintly said, "I understand, I will accept it."
Now that Jiang Cheng was facing death, he didn't feel fear, but regret. Therefore, he was filled with the desire to live. If he could live, he wouldn't want to have any regrets. He would do everything he could to make his life more worthwhile.
Jiang Cheng was impulsive, but he wasn't stupid. He knew his situation. If Feng Yiping had a way to keep him alive, then he would have to experience the pain. Jiang Cheng was prepared for all of this.
Feng Yiping slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Cheng. Seeing how resolute Jiang Cheng was, he knew what was going on. He continued, "If you're willing, I'll give you a stalk of Heart Eroding Grass. This grass is also extremely poisonous. It will instantly spread to your blood and nerves. That way, you'll understand the true meaning of the Heart Eroding Grass!" After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Cheng seriously. If Jiang Cheng hesitated at this moment, Feng Yiping wouldn't save him.
Jiang Cheng didn't hesitate at all. He nodded and said, "No problem, I can endure any kind of pain." After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and nodded firmly.
Feng Yiping looked at Jiang Cheng. He was still a bit hesitant. After all, Jiang Cheng was too young, and the pain brought by Heart Eroding Grass wasn't something a normal person could imagine. If the patient lost their determination, their liver and gallbladder would melt and they would die without a complete corpse. It was very tragic.
While Feng Yiping was thinking, Jiang Cheng was also looking at Feng Yiping. Seeing Feng Yiping's expression change, Jiang Cheng knew that the pain brought by Heart Eroding Grass was beyond his expectations. However, Jiang Cheng's belief in living had surpassed everything. His eyes were firm and unquestionable.
After a long time, Feng Yiping seemed to have made a big decision. He sighed and said, "Forget it. Maybe this is the will of the heavens. What will come will come!"
Feng Yiping took out a black pill from his pocket. It exuded a sweet fragrance that made people want to take a bite!
Next, he took out a faint leaf and placed it in a small bottle. Everything was ready.
Feng Yiping slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Cheng. "I'll ask you one last time. Have you really made up your mind? Do you not regret it?"
Jiang Cheng clenched his fists and puffed out his chest. Like a warrior, he firmly said, "As long as I can live, I can endure any pain." The corner of his mouth curled up. The confident Jiang Cheng had returned.
Feng Yiping glanced at Jiang Cheng, then said calmly, "After taking this pill, it will stimulate your body, making it more active and sensitive. You will also feel more pain. This will make you feel even worse after eating the Heart Eroding Grass!"
Feng Yiping was still expressionless, making it hard to see through him.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng didn't say anything. He took the pill and was about to swallow it. In Jiang Ping's opinion, as long as the decision was made, it was useless to say too much. It was better to be decisive. Fortunately, Feng Yiping's eyes and hands were sharp. He quickly grabbed Jiang Cheng's wrist and said, "There's one more thing you have to consider. After eating the Heart Eroding Grass, you won't be you anymore after you recover."
Jiang Cheng was stunned. Feng Yiping's words shocked him.
He didn't know what Feng Yiping meant.
Feng Yiping said, "The poison of the Heart Eroding Grass will spread to your entire body. At that time, your bones and skin will change because of the poison of the Heart Eroding Grass. You might become taller and more powerful, or you might become shorter and stockier! In any case, no one will be able to see your current appearance. "
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Feng, this might not be a bad thing. I, Jiang Cheng, have been a hero for a lifetime. I've done many good things and hurt many people. Now that I can start over with a new appearance, it can be considered a kind of redemption." With that said, he closed his eyes, frowned deeply, and didn't say anything else.
Feng Yiping didn't say anything else. He had already told Jiang Cheng about the poison of the Heart Eroding Grass and the pros and cons. As for what Jiang Cheng planned to do now, it was up to him.
Feng Yiping got up and said to the girl beside him, "Girl, let's go. It's time to pick the herbs."
As if nothing had happened, he slowly walked towards the door.
When the girl heard this, she stared at Jiang Cheng for a long time, as if she didn't understand the situation.
But she didn't say anything and kept scratching her head. She looked back three times with every step as she followed behind Feng Yiping.
Once Feng Yiping and the girl were far away, Jiang Cheng relaxed.
Looking at the pill in front of him, Jiang Cheng understood that as long as he ate it, he might really have to say goodbye to his previous world. His parents, wife, and children, as well as those who loved him, might not be able to recognize him anymore. However, this was also a good thing. When he was by their side, he didn't give them much stability. Apart from being afraid, he didn't give them the life they wanted at all.
Jiang Cheng no longer hesitated. He picked up the pill, chewed it, and swallowed it.
Not long after he swallowed it, Jiang Cheng felt a burst of energy in his body. It was just like when the A-toxin was in his body. All the cells in his body seemed to explode, and every pore opened up. His perception became abnormally sensitive.
He gently stroked his hand. His calloused palm made him feel as if someone was cutting his flesh with a knife.
Jiang Cheng looked at the green leaf in the bottle and smiled. He took it out and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it twice and swallowed it.
Jiang Cheng had learned this kind of pain when he received special training in the past. No matter what kind of torture it was, he could endure it. Jiang Cheng even went to ask his instructor. At that time, the instructor told him that the best way to deal with pain was to divert his attention and numb his thoughts.
However, when Jiang Cheng swallowed the Heart Eroding Grass, he immediately felt an unbearable pain from head to toe. It was as if a stream of water had suddenly appeared in his body, spreading to every cell in his body.
Jiang Cheng roared in pain. The pain didn't stop. It came wave after wave. His head felt like it was going to explode, and his bones felt like they were being crushed. The piercing pain of the ants made Jiang Cheng gasp for breath.
Jiang Cheng's mind was only a bit clear. He tried to forget everything that was happening in front of him and divert his attention to reduce the pain. But it was useless. The pill made Jiang Cheng's nerves extremely sensitive. The pain was thousands of times worse than usual.
With a puff, Jiang Cheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He grabbed his hair, and the more he grabbed, the more pain he felt.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt that it would be a good thing if he fainted from the pain. But the power of the drug made Jiang Cheng not even have the chance to faint. At this moment, Jiang Cheng felt like he was better off dead.
Living a life worse than death, this kind of pain was enough to make anyone collapse. Even an unyielding man like Jiang Cheng couldn't bear it.
Time ticked by. Not far from the river, Feng Yiping was still fishing gracefully. He was so calm that it was as if everything was just a dream. There were already a few fish in the bucket next to him.
And not far away from Feng Yiping, the beautiful girl was sitting by the river. She was clapping her hands and her feet were constantly slapping the water. The water splashed and she laughed.
Seeing this, Feng Yiping frowned and said, "Girl, you're chasing away the fish like this." As he spoke, he pulled the fishing rod and smiled at the girl. He unconsciously glanced at Jiang Cheng.
The little girl didn't stop. She smiled and said, "Hehe, grandpa, you've already caught a few fish. It's enough for us to eat tonight."
The girl was like a little pig. She opened and closed her mouth happily.
Feng Yiping turned his head and looked at the bucket. Then he looked at the girl and said, "How can this be enough? Today is the day your big brother and second brother come back. Don't you miss them?" As he spoke, the corners of his mouth rose into a kind smile.
Feng Yiping's eyes were filled with warmth and expectation.
The girl, who was still giggling in the water, immediately stopped. She skipped over to Feng Yiping and happily said, "Grandpa, really? Big brother and second brother are coming back? "
The girl's eyes were filled with joy. She unconsciously spun around as if she would never grow up.
Hearing this, Feng Yiping glanced at the girl. "Can you stop? If you keep bothering us like this, I'm afraid your big brother and second brother won't have anything to eat tonight. They'll probably leave as soon as they come back."
Although he said that, Feng Yiping's face was filled with a doting smile.
The girl quickly stopped slapping her feet. She pouted and coquettishly said, "Okay, okay, I won't disturb you anymore. You're old, just focus on fishing. By the way … "
"Will that Jiang Cheng person die?"
At the end of her words, the girl thought of Jiang Cheng, and her brows furrowed in worry.
Feng Yiping did not say a word. He closed his eyes and quietly waited for the fish to take the bait. When the girl saw this, she felt bored. She curled her lips and dried her feet. She put on her shoes and slowly walked toward the bamboo house.
The girl couldn't help but want to see Jiang Cheng. She also didn't want Jiang Cheng to die, although she didn't know why.
As she thought about it, the girl nervously walked and unknowingly arrived at the bamboo house where Jiang Cheng was.
In fact, even if Feng Yiping had a heart of stone, he couldn't help but think about how Jiang Cheng was doing. However, he knew that no one could help Jiang Cheng right now. Only Jiang Cheng could defeat himself and be reborn.
Feng Yiping hoped that Jiang Cheng could pass this hurdle. That way, at least he could prove that he didn't choose the wrong person and that saving his life was not in vain.
