Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

Chapter 170 Parting between life and death

"Shut up." The snake slowly tightened its grip, wrapping its arms around the snow rabbit tightly. In an instant, the snow rabbit was so constricted that it could only groan in pain.

"Alright, now it's quiet. So, are you willing?" the snake said in a very sinister tone.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!" the old imperial advisor beside me cried out hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, you can't!" the flies around cried anxiously.

"I..." I didn't know how to answer. Actually, I didn't want to, but I just couldn't say it.

"I..." I wanted to say I was willing, I wanted to say it out loud, but I also wanted to try to become a human again, I wanted to try to live, how could I die here.

"I..." I'm still afraid of death after all. I'm still a weakling. Do I not even have the courage to speak?

"I..." Say yes, say it! Why, why, why can't I say it? Am I really that afraid of death?

"I..." I still couldn't say it. Am I just a selfish person?

"I do." Just then, a voice came from over. It was Dafu's voice.

I haven't seen Dafu before, how come he's showing up now? Where did he go before?

"Sorry, Yimao Er, I was knocked unconscious by that snake and just woke up." After explaining to me, Dafu flew towards the other side.

"I'm willing, I'm willing to trade my life for Snow Rabbit's life, and I'm also willing to trade my life for 12 cents, I'm willing," Dafu said very seriously.

"Dafu, what are you doing here? What business is it of yours?" I shouted angrily.

“Yi Mao Er, you still have important things to do, you still have dreams, you still have aspirations, but I don’t. I’ve always known you’re different, so you must persevere. How can you end your journey here? That’s why I’m here to help you,” Da Fu said earnestly.

"Dafu, are you stupid? Even if you go, that snake won't let the snow rabbit go. Besides, he wants me, me! What are you going there for? Come back here!" I shouted angrily.

"Can I take your place, 12 cents?" Dafu ignored my words and spoke very seriously to the snake.

"Is that alright? Do you think this is a vegetable market? You're actually trying to bargain with me?" the snake shouted angrily.

"One cent and two cents, Dafu, thank you for everything you've done. Thank you for letting me know that there are so many beautiful things in the world. Thank you for bringing me out to see this world." Suddenly, the snow rabbit, which was entangled by the snake, said with great difficulty.

"Although I don't understand anything, I often watch TV with my master. I'm very stupid," Snow Rabbit said weakly.

"But..." Snow Rabbit seems to have a trace of power.

"But don't think I'm easy to bully just because I'm a rabbit. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered." The snow rabbit seemed to draw strength from nowhere, and instantly bit the snake.

The rabbit's fangs weren't for nothing; it instantly made a hole in the snake's body, and blood immediately flowed out. The snake never expected to be bitten back by the snow rabbit.

The snake didn't hesitate either, opening its blood-red maw and biting down on the snow rabbit's neck. Instantly, the snow rabbit slumped its head limply.

"Kill that snake! I want it to die a horrible death!" I roared at the snake, almost going crazy.

The flies around immediately rushed towards the snake, instantly surrounding it. Without hesitation, I also rushed forward, plunging into the snake's bloody hole and beginning to frantically tear at its flesh.

Although the snake kept writhing on the ground, I didn't feel anything at all. I felt as if I could only relieve my hatred by eating the snake's flesh and drinking its blood.

I don't know how much time passed, but the snake soon lost its strength and lay motionless on the ground. I was still eating, not flesh and blood, but hatred. I had gone mad.

"Twenty-two cents, twenty-two cents." I felt like someone was calling me earlier, but right now I just wanted to eat more of this snake. I wanted to eat this damn snake, eat it.

"One cent and two cents, the snow rabbit is dying." The voice rang out again, and only then did I realize what was happening.

I immediately flew towards the snow rabbit's location. The snow rabbit's neck was now stained red with blood, and its beautiful white fur was all dyed red and knotted together.

"One...one cent and two cents, you've arrived," Snow Rabbit said with great difficulty.

"Snow Rabbit, don't speak, you'll be alright, you'll definitely be alright," I said hurriedly, and blood flowed out as soon as Snow Rabbit spoke.

"I know my own body, I'm not going to make it," Snow Rabbit said weakly.

"Snow Rabbit, you'll be alright, you'll definitely be alright. I'll find herbs to make you better. I promised to take you to find freedom, and I promised to take you to find love, and, and, I promised to take you to see the beautiful world. We've all promised each other." I said, sobbing.

"I...I might not be able to watch anymore, but you guys can still watch, hehehe...cough cough cough." Snow Rabbit laughed as a large amount of blood gushed from her neck and mouth.

In this situation, let alone herbal medicine, even if an ambulance came to save me, it wouldn't be able to save me. But I'm just not reconciled. Why? Why did I die like this?

"Snow Rabbit, don't speak anymore, don't say anything. You will live too, you will definitely be able to." I am completely helpless now. The only thing I can do is comfort Snow Rabbit and hope that Snow Rabbit will not die in such pain.

"One cent and two cents, I'm so cold. I really wish you were a rabbit, so I could fall in love with you," the snow rabbit said weakly.

"Just think of me as a rabbit. As long as you come back to life, I'll be a rabbit, and I'll take you to find more rabbits," I said anxiously.

"Yi Mao Er, do you know? Actually, I envy Da Fu a lot, because she can go on adventures with you, explore together, and freely search for the answers in your hearts, but I can only be locked in a cage every day," Snow Rabbit said with difficulty.

"Do you know what freedom is? It wasn't until I met you that I learned what freedom truly means."

"But the price of pursuing freedom is so enormous."

"But I don't regret it. What does it matter how big the price is for a dream?"

"I now realize that my life before was like that of a living corpse, and now I am truly alive."

"Although it was so short, it was enough."

"Yi Mao Er, you know what? Actually, I'm jealous of Da Fu."

"Because she is very happy."

"Yi Mao Er, Da Fu, live well, even though I can't be with you anymore."

"But if there really is a heaven, I will be watching over you from there..."

With the last word, Snow Rabbit finally closed its eyes and left us forever.

"Why? Why..." I cried out in anguish. Why can't those who want to live live well? Why are those scumbags still alive and well? Why? Why?
