God's Gift

Chapter 283 The Immortal Descends to Earth

There was the sound of gongs and drums behind them. Fang Ling, who was standing next to Ning Jin, turned around and saw that there were many tourists surrounding the stage behind them. Several actors came on the stage and started singing "Beggar General" again.

Fang Ling's eyes showed a little more surprise, and he immediately said to Ning Jin:

"Ajin, this is your grandfather's play, you should watch it too."

Ning Jin raised her head and turned to look at the stage across the street. The scene on the stage caught her eye. The dim light was reflected in her eyes. She smiled softly and replied, "Let's take a look."

Fang Ling's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she took Ning Jin to the stage, but the stage was already crowded with people. Fang Ling looked inside, then looked at Ning Jin, who was only as tall as her shoulder, and her eyes became more melancholy.

Ning Jin looked at Fang Ling's worried expression, a sincere smile spread across his eyes, and he pulled Fang Ling and said, "How about finding something to cushion your pain?"

"Okay." Fang Ling scratched his head a little embarrassedly, looked around for a while, picked up a big stone from the side, and said to Ning Jin:

"Ajin, come on up and I'll support you."

Ning Jin followed Fang Ling onto the stone and saw the scene on the stage inside.

It was the beginning of the show, and Ning Du was still a beggar living on the street. His clothes were dirty and torn, his face was covered with dust, and he looked extremely pitiful.

"General Ningdu had a very miserable childhood." Fang Ling has watched this play since he was a child, and he would sigh every time he saw Ningdu's miserable childhood.

Ning Jin looked at Fang Ling's sympathetic expression, smiled slightly, and said, "In fact, he was not so pitiful when he was a child. Although he was a beggar, he was not so poor."

"Is that so?" Fang Ling was a little surprised. He had seen it so many times, but this was the first time he heard such a statement.

But he was only surprised for a moment, and a bit of pride appeared on his face.

Ajin is Ning Du’s granddaughter, so what she said must be right.

"He was very open-minded when he was young. Although he didn't have a penny, he never cared about it."

"Money is not an important thing to him. He can eat leaves, grass roots, and fruit peels to fill his stomach, and he never gets sick even if he drinks dew or river water. Others think he is a weirdo, but he is indeed very lucky."

"He has no external desires and no need for money."

This was something Fang Ling had never heard of before, but he was a little confused. He asked, "Since he didn't need the money, why did he steal it?"

Hearing this question, Ning Jin was silent for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Ning Du on the stage, his gaze became distant, and he said slowly:

"Because Ningdu picked up a child."

"That child is not like him. She is weak and sickly, and very difficult to raise. He gave her leaves to eat, but she vomited them all out. Not only did she not eat them, she cried even harder."

"But if you don't give the child food, she will cry non-stop."

"If you drink the water from the river like he did, you will have vomiting and diarrhea, and it will be like you are dying."

"It was other beggars who told him that this child couldn't live on anything like him, so he had to feed her."

"But where did Ningdu get milk from? He felt that he had picked up a big trouble. He kept muttering in the child's ear every day, "Why are human children so troublesome? Why are they so troublesome..."

"The child had just learned to walk. Although she didn't understand what he said, she was still scared. So she followed Ning Du closely like his tail. She stopped crying even when Ning Du fed her all kinds of food, fearing that she would be lost again."

"So Ning Du started scolding the child again, saying that her weak legs were hindering him. The child did not cry or make a fuss after being scolded by him, and continued to follow him closely."

Ning Jin laughed when he got to this point and said, "But Ning Du has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

"He went to the street and saw other children wearing beautiful clothes and looking fair and tender. Then he looked at the tail beside him, who was thin and small, and whose clothes were tattered, just like him."

"So Ning Du became the famous thief on the street again."

"He was a thief hated by everyone, but he stole silk and satin, milk and food for her. The child was about to die of illness, but he snatched her back from the hands of the King of Hell."

"He complained about the troublesome child, but he made sure the child lived a life of luxury, no worse than other girls."

"Look at him again. He's still wearing those tattered clothes."

After hearing these things, Fang Ling was a little sad for a moment, "There is such a thing, then where did the child go?"

Ning Jin watched the play on the stage, which had already come to an end. She said softly:

"Later, Ning Du joined the army, and the child waited for him in the alley. When Ning Du returned triumphantly and was given an official title, the child became the precious general's sister."

"General Ningdu has a sister?" Fang Ling was a little confused. "I have never heard of it."

Ning Jin shook his head and whispered, "He protects his sister very well, and outsiders don't know about it."

Fang Ling finally understood, nodded in sudden realization, and replied: "The general is very kind to the child."

Ning Jin nodded, but suddenly heard a voice coming from the side.

"Ningdu also ate leaves when he was a child?"

Ning Jin glanced sideways and found that Yu Youyou and Lu Keming had appeared beside them at some point and had heard their entire conversation.

Yu Youyou was sitting on Lu Keming's shoulders and was held up by Lu Keming to watch the entire show. At this moment, she was looking down at Fang Ling and Ning Jin with curiosity.

Fang Ling looked at Yu Youyou who was held by Lu Keming, then looked at the stone under Ning Jin's feet, and a hint of regret immediately appeared on her face.

Ning Jin looked up and stared at Yu Youyou for a few seconds, but did not directly answer Yu Youyou's question. Instead, he sighed and asked:

"Youyou, how can you sit on someone else's shoulders?"

"Oh, that's right." Yu Youyou finally remembered and patted Lu Keming's shoulder, saying, "Keming, the show is over, put me down."

When Lu Keming heard this, he lowered the corners of his eyes, but still followed Yu Youyou's movements and put her down from his shoulders.

After landing, Yu Youyou came to Ning Jin and whispered, "Ajin, I heard from others outside that Ning Du has received divine power from heaven and can see things in the future!"

Ning Jin's expression froze, his eyes fell on Yu Youyou's face, and after a few seconds, he said:

"That should be the case. When I was a child, people in the mansion often said that my grandfather had supernatural powers. He was different from others since he was young and could predict things very accurately."

"Since childhood?" Yu Youyou's dark, bright eyes showed a little more interest as she continued to ask, "So it has been like this since birth!"

"It should be." Ning Jin nodded, "Grandfather must have met a god and received a favor."

“That’s not necessarily true.” Yu Youyou smiled and shook her head, denying, “Since he has possessed supernatural powers since he was young and eats differently from ordinary people, maybe…”

Yu Youyou paused, put her hands behind her back, and shook her head.

"He is an immortal who has descended to earth!"
