Chapter 256
The first lucky bag in the live stream was opened.
Chen Xuan also saw the fans who had won the lucky bags.
Congratulations to [Walking on Thin Ice] for winning the lucky bag.
Tonight I'm making a bet with my fans; the gifts from over 20 fans alone have already amounted to an unknown sum.
So after announcing the names of the fans who won the lucky bag, Chen Xuan continued, "Tonight, I have asked many fans to spend money on rewards. Therefore, I will not take a penny from the fans who won the lucky bag in the third round. Please do not connect with me directly as you are walking on thin ice."
As soon as Chen Xuan said this, the new fans who had previously accepted their bets couldn't sit still any longer.
However, they also knew that the Taoist priest had earned this through his own abilities. Although they all sent messages of protest, their protests were ineffective.
Three thousand yuan is equivalent to a month's salary for someone at the bottom of society.
Upon hearing that the fans who won the lucky bag tonight would have Chen Xuan read their fortunes for free, the other fans were all extremely excited.
As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, Ru Lu Bo Bing, who had won the lucky bag, immediately requested to connect with him via live stream.
Chen Xuan accepted the decision, and the screen was split in two.
Then the scene shows a middle-aged man with a dejected expression sitting on the ground. There is a bag of unfinished peanuts and two empty wine bottles lying on the ground. He looks like he is drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
To be honest, this scene was quite offensive to many fans.
Many of the girls also left comments on the screen, making sarcastic remarks.
After staring intently at the man's face, Chen Xuan shook his head and sighed slightly.
"Thank you, Master. If you hadn't told me that the lucky bag lottery and fortune telling would be free tonight, I would have given up."
The man looked at Chen Xuan on his phone, smiled bitterly, and then opened a bottle of beer and chugged it down, showing no respect whatsoever to Chen Xuan.
Upon seeing this, the fans in the live stream could no longer remain silent, and they began to criticize and ridicule, with some even resorting to insults.
The fans were furious, but Chen Xuan waited quietly for the man to finish the bottle of wine.
"Uh……"
"Master, I've been like this since I was a child, I'm sorry..."
After finishing his drink, the man straightened his phone and looked at Chen Xuan. "Daoist Master, you are a good person. I, Ji Dong, admire you from the bottom of my heart. You are a capable and kind-hearted person."
Chen Xuan smiled and looked at Ji Dong, "If I'm not mistaken, you're planning to drink heavily tonight and then commit suicide, right?"
Ji Dong was taken aback when Chen Xuan said this.
The more than two million fans in the live stream felt their scalps tingle when they heard Chen Xuan's words.
Ji Dong's clothes and appearance didn't suggest he was a homeless person with nowhere else to go, so why did he have to be so suicidal?
Chen Xuan noticed that Ji Dong was just staring at him blankly, his eyes shifting.
"You have good character. Although you have experienced great suffering since childhood, you have never thought of taking revenge on society, which is why you were able to draw my lucky bag tonight."
Upon hearing that he had endured hardship since childhood and had not sought revenge on society, Ji Dong could no longer hold back and immediately burst into tears.
In fact, a middle-aged person's defenses can be breached by a single, unintentional remark.
Ji Dong cried his heart out, pounding his chest and stamping his feet, slapping himself in the face, looking like a madman with nowhere to vent his frustration.
Chen Xuan remained silent, and the numerous fans in the live stream also refrained from making sarcastic remarks.
The live stream audience is mostly adults. They know that as long as there is hope, middle-aged people will not despair to the point of having nowhere to turn.
After letting out a few sobs to release the bitterness that had been building up inside him, Ji Dong wiped away his tears and looked at Chen Xuandao, saying, "Daoist Master, I'm crying. I've suffered so much. I don't even know how I've survived these past 32 years!"
“You can tell your story in front of your fans in the live stream,” Chen Xuan said.
"Fine, I'm a dying man anyway. Although I don't want to air my dirty laundry in public, my family is long gone."
Ji Dong then fell into reminiscence and began to recount his experiences from childhood to adulthood.
“I’m from a mountain village in Northeast China. When I was a child, I was an excellent student. I was a role model for others because I did laundry, cooked, and did farm work. I was my mother’s pride.”
As Ji Dong spoke, tears slowly streamed down his face.
“My mother is a gentle and virtuous woman. She took care of me almost all by herself and was the pillar of the whole family. When I was a child, I vowed that when I grew up, I would earn a lot of money and then bring my mother to live in the county town.”
“I always held this idea in my heart and worked hard toward my goal, but when I was 13, everything changed when my dad came back from working in another city.”
When talking about his father, Ji Dong's eyes were filled with hatred and glee, his gaze shifting between madness and fear.
"My father, that damned beast, he doesn't deserve my mother at all, he doesn't deserve to be called a human being!"
“In those years, he went out to work but did nothing, indulging in drinking, gambling and whoring. He would come back at the end of the year without bringing back a single penny. When he came back, he would go out to gamble in order to save face, and he sold the pigs and sheep at home. When my mother tried to stop him, he beat her. I was scared, I was so scared. I have been afraid of my father since I was a child. I could only bury my head in the straw stack and pray that my parents would make up soon.”
Ji Dong watched the live stream, crying for a moment and then laughing, a bitter laugh.
"Later, my dad sold everything in the house that could be sold. Once, I caught a cold and needed to see a doctor and get an IV drip. Just as I was getting a little better, my dad took my medical money behind my mom's back and gambled it away. My mom went crazy and couldn't find the money, so she made a scene at the card table. In the end, the two of them got into a fight, and my mom was beaten up and had to be brought back."
“My mother held me and cried her heart out, saying that she shouldn’t have given birth to me, and that if she hadn’t, I would have suffered along with her.”
“I was only 13 years old at the time. I didn’t know what was wrong with my family. Why didn’t he come back? Everything was fine, but as soon as he came back, the family would be like this.”
That was the first time I hated him!
"But what happened next was something I never expected."
"My mother broke the mahjong table for my sake, which made my father lose face. That night, he came home drunk, went into the kitchen, and then came to the main room. I saw it clearly: my father was completely drunk and holding a kitchen knife. I looked at my father's expressionless face with fear and trembling. I was so scared that I couldn't breathe."
"Then, this beast attacked my mother, hacking at her wildly and cursing her as a filthy bitch, making him ashamed to face anyone in public."
"Beast! Beast!!!"
"My mom, to protect me, disregarded the slash wounds on her body, desperately pushed my dad out of the house, then locked the door to the main room, yelling at me not to come out!"
Tears streamed down Ji Dong's face as he slapped himself repeatedly.
“I watched the two of them fight in the yard, and I watched my dad slash my mom with a kitchen knife. I was so scared that I trembled and didn’t dare to make a sound.”
"It wasn't until my mother lay motionless on the ground, her blood staining the snow red, that I went crazy and jumped out of the window."
"My mother died. She was stabbed more than a dozen times, all to vital points. When I saw this, my first instinct was to scream for help and attract the attention of the neighbors in the distance."
"But when I heard that drunken beast lying in the snow still cursing my mother, I stopped in my tracks. I didn't ask the neighbors for help to save my mother, because I knew that my mother was already dead!!"
At this moment, Ji Dong's eyes were filled with madness.
"I pulled my mother into the house without crying once. I hate him, I hate that beast!!"
“That beast, that beast who was dead drunk in the snow… I was standing inside the house, through the glass, watching him slowly freeze to death!”
