Thankyou @Lenka for the coffee! I will post 1 extra chapter today.

Chapter 51.1

“Shi Ye, come out!” The woman’s crazy voice came along with the wind, “Don’t think that I can’t catch you if you hide, unless you don’t want to come out for the rest of your life.”

Shi Ye was only eight years old and his thin body was curled up into a ball. He hid behind a bush and held his head in his hands.

It was dusk and the flaming red clouds stretched lovingly across the sky, the haze falling on Shi Ye’s body, barely blending him with the half-high grass around him.

He didn’t look up, just kept his ears open and listened.

He heard the woman’s footsteps gradually approaching, as if after looking around for a while and not seeing him, the woman walked in another direction.

Even from a distance, he could hear the woman’s shrill voice, as if her nails were scraping across the wooden table, and with a hint of a muffled tone, she called out his name again and again.

His eyes were wide open, staring blankly at the ground.

Perhaps he would have to spend another night out today, the woman who tormented him like a madman as long as the man was away, and although he hated the man too, he had never looked forward to his return as much as he did now.

At this moment, a hand rested gently on his shoulder.

“You’re injured, you’ve lost a lot of blood.” The man  crouched next to him, tilting his head anxiously to look at him, “Shall I take you to the doctor? So he can dress your wound?”

With that, the man stood up and tried to pull him up as well.

But when that person’s hand touched him for the second time, that hand went straight through his body.

Seeing this, the man was stunned for a moment and jumped up anxiously: “What’s going on? I clearly touched you just now, so why can’t I touch you again!”

Shi Ye has long been used to that person talking to himself, he doesn’t know if that person is a human or a ghost, only he can see and hear that person.

Originally, that person could only be seen but not touched but recently, for some reason, the person would sometimes turn into a physical state, for example when the person tapped him on the shoulder just now.

But this state is extremely short-lived.

Shi Ye wanted some peace and quiet but that person was too noisy and kept chattering in his ear.

“Go away.” Shi Ye couldn’t bear it anymore, he raised his phoenix eyes and looked coldly at the anxious man, “I don’t need a doctor.”

The man said, “But you have shed a lot of blood.”

Shi Ye said again, “I don’t need a doctor.”

The man said: “You still have a wound on your body, you have to bandage it.”

Shi Ye stared straight at that person and said word by word: “I don’t need a doctor.”

The man fell silent.

Shi Ye lowered his eyes and continued to stare at the ground, ignoring that person.

He did bleed a lot, for he had many wounds all over his body and the woman’s torture day in and day out had left almost no part of his body intact.

However, that woman dared to be so unscrupulous only because she knew that his self-healing ability was very strong. Even if someone stabbed him in the chest, as long as he lay down quietly for a while, the wound on his chest would heal. 

Although his self-healing ability is very strong, the pain during the healing process is real. The pain of flesh and blood being cut by a sharp blade and then quickly grown together is like a dull knife slowly cutting through his heart .

Strangely enough, with time, he got used to the pain.

Every time he was injured, his body would seem to have a self-awareness, repairing those hideous wounds almost crazily and the feeling of pain that edged into his bone marrow made him deeply aware that he existed in this world.

Not long after Shi Ye sat in the grass, the wounds on his body had almost healed and even the large blood stains on his clothes were completely absorbed by his skin.

The man took in the scene and made an astonished sound: “God, what’s wrong with you? All the blood on your clothes is gone…”

Shi Ye still ignored that person, he stood up and quickly walked in the opposite direction to the woman.

After a while, he came to a cave.

He often came to this cave to avoid that woman, so he had already prepared some living supplies in the cave.

The man followed him to the cave, and even though he was lying down on the straw mat, the man sat down very self-consciously on the edge of the mat and kept talking to him.

“Child, this brother will teach you some martial arts.” The man got up and plopped down on the edge of the straw mat again, gazing at Shi Ye with a gleaming gaze, “Brother is super powerful, so I might as well to teach you a few moves for your own good, lest you get beaten up so badly by that crazy mother of yours again.”

Perhaps annoyed by the noise, Shi Ye finally opened his eyes, his cold, thin black eyes fixedly looking at that person.

It was the first time he looked at that person’s face so closely, and he realized that he had a small red mole on his brow, his almond eyes were round, his lips were thin but he liked to babble non-stop.

Shi Ye asked: “Are you a skilled martial artist?”

“Naturally, how else would I dare to boast to you about it?” The man curled his mouth and finished speaking triumphantly. Then he patted his chest and said, “I can fight five or six people alone and I can even fly over the wall.”

Shi Ye said coldly: “What’s the use of your martial arts, no matter how powerful you are, after you die, you will still be a lonely ghost.”.”

The man was taken aback for a moment: “That’s right…”

Then the almond eyes lost their luster in an instant and the man sat on the edge of the straw mat, hugging his knees and lost in thought.
