Looking at the middle-aged man with a simple and honest smile in front of him, Jiang Chen's expression was a little solemn. After a moment of silence, he asked his first question.

"Do you know your physical condition?"

"Um?"

Hearing Jiang Chen's question, everyone present was obviously stunned. The middle-aged man was also a little confused, but he seemed to have thought of something quickly and asked tentatively.

"Master, what do you mean..."

Jiang Chen pointed his hand at Li Yang and others in front of him and said.

"I am the same as them, and I am also a warlock."

"As for what I just said, I meant it literally."

When Jiang Chen announced his identity, the middle-aged man was not very surprised. He raised his head and glanced at the mountains in the distance, then grinned and said slowly.

"If you say that, Master, you have already seen it?"

"Yes, there is indeed something wrong with my body. The doctor said half a year ago that I don't have much time left!"

As soon as these words came out, the other people were all startled and immediately gathered around.

"Brother Qiangzi, what did you say..."

As soon as these people opened their mouths, they were interrupted by the middle-aged man and heard him speak softly.

"I went to the hospital for a check-up before. There is indeed a serious problem with my body. I just didn't tell you."

After hearing this, those people suddenly became anxious.

"Brother Qiangzi, since you have a physical problem, you should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible!"

The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"You all know about my family's situation, so how come you still have spare money for medical treatment?"

"Having said that, aren't there still us? You should have told us earlier!" someone asked anxiously.

The middle-aged man smiled, glanced at the people in front of him, and said slowly.

"I appreciate your kindness, but your family is no better than mine. How could I ask for your help?"

"Besides, I have an incurable disease, so why should I waste that money? I might as well take this opportunity to earn more money for my family!"

As soon as these words came out, those people all fell silent, their faces full of grief.

The middle-aged man gently patted the shoulders of several friends, and then turned to look at Jiang Chen.

"Master, I'm telling you a joke!"

"There is indeed something wrong with my body. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Jiang Chen's face was a little complicated, and he also fell silent. Although this middle-aged man was an ordinary person who could only do hard work, his image in Jiang Chen's eyes was taller than many people present.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen asked slowly.

"Don't your family members know about your physical condition?"

"Of course I don't know!" The middle-aged man raised his head slightly and said without hesitation, "If I tell them, they should worry, and they won't be able to let me come out to work anymore!"

"Why are you working so hard?" Jiang Chen asked.

Jiang Chen has never seen a trace of negative emotions from this middle-aged man, even when he mentioned his own illness, which shows that this man is also an optimistic and open-minded person.

but.

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, this middle-aged man who had always been positive and optimistic fell silent for a rare moment, and then said sadly.

"There are old people at the top and young at the bottom. What else can we do if we don't work hard?!"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, another person added.

"When Brother Qiangzi was still young, his father fell from a height and became disabled, so Brother Qiangzi began to earn money to support the family when he was a teenager!"

"At the age of ten, he has already become the breadwinner of the family!"

When this person spoke, the middle-aged man turned away, seemed to raise his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and then turned back.

Looking at the distant mountains with absent-minded eyes, the middle-aged man began to recall.

"After my dad had an accident, I started to drop out of school to support the family. Fortunately, it was pretty good. Although I didn't make much money, I didn't starve him either!"

"When I became an adult, I was lucky enough to meet my mother-in-law. She was the only one who didn't mind my family's poverty and got married to me. Naturally, I had to work hard to make money and try not to let her suffer with me."

"It's a pity that I still have no ability and can't let her live a good life. Fortunately...she has no regrets!"

"Later, my two sons were born. I have to say that these two boys are very competitive and much better than their father!"

"Master, do you know? They were admitted to university together last year, and it was the best university in the country!"

"These two brats are more promising than their father!"

The middle-aged man repeated this sentence several times, then rubbed his somewhat red eyes with the back of his hand and continued.

"After these two boys entered school, they not only received scholarships, but also used their free time to do part-time jobs. When they came back years ago, they even bought tea and new clothes for their grandfather!"

"I have never been afraid that I will die. I am only worried about what they will do after I leave."

"But......"

"I'm not worried now. These two brats have grown up and become sensible!"

"After I leave, they will also honor their grandfather and mother, so I feel relieved!"

Having said this, the middle-aged man suddenly paused, then seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Actually, after I first learned about my illness, I collapsed a little, and even had the idea of ​​committing suicide at one point."

"However, later I slowly thought about it."

"Instead of jumping out of the car in such a seemingly unrestrained way, it is better to spend the remaining time with your family and work hard to save some money for them!"

The middle-aged man is just an ordinary farmer, and the words he speaks are all simple and unpretentious, but to Jiang Chen's ears, they are pure and good words!

"You also said that you want to spend time with your family, so go back and spend time with your family now. Your wages will still be paid to you!"

After hearing this, the middle-aged man quickly shook his head and said.

"Thank you, Master, for your kindness, but I can't take your salary in vain, otherwise I will feel uneasy..."

At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly interrupted the middle-aged man's words.

"But......"

"If you don't go back, I'm afraid you will regret it!"

Jiang Chen's voice gradually dropped. When he said this, he didn't even have the courage to look into the eyes of the middle-aged man opposite him.

His guess was correct. The middle-aged man was indeed stunned when he heard these words. However, the other party's subsequent reaction was somewhat beyond his expectation.

After the middle-aged man came back to his senses, he said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master, for the reminder, but I still won't go back!"

"Perhaps one person has an idea. I don't want them to see me leave with their own eyes. Instead of doing that, I might as well use the remaining time to help them save more money!"

Regarding the middle-aged man's remarks, Jiang Chen didn't say anything more. After bowing his head in silence for a moment, he raised his head again and looked at the middle-aged man.

"Although I want to help you, unfortunately, I really can't do anything!"

"I think the only thing I can do to help you now is to tell you something."

"I am a fortune teller. I just showed you a face: your family's life will get better soon, your father's physical condition will improve, and your two sons will have a great future!"

After the words fell, Jiang Chen lightly patted the other party's shoulder, then turned around, lowered his head and walked toward the front of the team.

Looking at Jiang Chen's back, the middle-aged man laughed from the bottom of his heart, and then bowed respectfully to Jiang Chen.
