115 The Black-Clad Man's Scheme @ Li Ling's Revenge 7
Sure enough, the man developed a high fever that very night, his body burning hot.
For the next three days, he remained in a semi-comatose state, sometimes babbling incoherently and sometimes trembling.
His family was extremely anxious, taking turns staying by his bedside to take care of him.
Fortunately, thanks to everyone's careful care and God's blessing, the man pulled through and survived.
Just as the man was gradually recovering, the village was in an uproar.
It turned out that rumors about his harrowing experience that night had already spread throughout the entire village.
Under a big tree at the village entrance, several idle old women sat together, whispering among themselves: "Have you heard? That lazy bum Wang almost lost his life this time!"
As they spoke, they clicked their tongues and shook their heads, expressing disbelief.
At this very moment, Wang Peizi, who was the focus of everyone's discussion, was leaning weakly against the bed, his face as pale as paper.
Hearing those familiar voices outside the window, he could only give a helpless bitter smile, turn to look at his elderly mother beside him, whose face was full of worry, and feel a myriad of emotions welling up inside him...
“Mother! Look at me now, what girl would want to marry me? Please don’t worry about this anymore! I swear to you, once I’m fully recovered, I will work diligently to earn those precious work points, and then marry my wife in style. So, Mother, please don’t worry anymore.” Wang Baozi said sincerely.
Looking back on this sudden illness, it was truly unexpected.
Who could have predicted that it would be so dangerous, almost taking his life?
During this period of struggling with illness, Wang Baozi had a profound realization.
When he saw his mother's increasingly haggard face due to her worry for him, and the endless worry and fear in her eyes, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow in his heart. At the same time, he felt deep regret for his past dissolute and idle self.
"Father, Mother, it's all my fault for being so disappointing! I've caused you so much worry and fear for so long. From now on, I will never again waste my days in a daze like before. I will definitely turn over a new leaf and become a responsible and reliable son that you two can depend on. Please believe me, this time I truly want to start anew and will never let you down again!" Wang Baozi held his parents' hands tightly, his eyes filled with determination as he made his promise.
Whenever he recalls those unbearable days, Wang Baozi feels as if an invisible hand is gripping his heart tightly, making it hard to breathe.
Thinking about it carefully, we really have to "thank" that vicious and despicable woman for causing this situation to happen!
If it weren't for her shameless seduction, how could I have been so bewitched as to embark on that thorny and treacherous path of gambling?
I almost lost my life!
Whenever he thought of this, Wang Baozi couldn't help but have doubts about this so-called "lifesaver": could she really be considered his benefactor?
Back then, it was precisely because of this life-saving grace that he was always willing to grant any request from that vile woman and obey her every word, just to repay this great kindness.
Unexpectedly, things took an increasingly absurd turn, as if they had fallen into a bottomless black hole, which was terrifying.
Fortunately, he finally came to his senses in time and decisively pulled back from the brink, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, can finally be put down a little.
