"Qingye, your grandpa asked you to go home for dinner!"
The shouts in the distance made Lu Qingye, who was cleaning medicinal materials by the river, turn around and respond.
A little girl of seven or eight years old was reflected in the river. She was a little thin, and although her face had not yet opened, she was still very outstanding, but the exposed skin was a little too pale.
Lu Qingye picked up the medicine basket and rushed home.
I met several uncles and aunts in the village and greeted them with a smile.
Looking at the little girl walking away, an aunt couldn't help but sigh.
"It's so fast. I still remember that this little girl was so small when she was brought back by Mr. Lu! She's not much bigger than some wild cats. Now, a few years have passed and she's grown so big!"
"Yes, the little girl is sensible, but it's a pity that Mr. Lu is old and not in good health... If Mr. Lu goes away and leaves her as a little girl... the Lu family's bunch of ghosts and monsters... …well!"
"It's so pitiful that those people have been hoping that Mr. Lu would leave earlier these years!"
The house is made of thatched wood and surrounded by a bamboo fence.
From a distance, I saw Mr. Lu playing with the dried herbs in the yard.
The old man bent his waist and coughed from time to time.
Lu Qingye quickly walked into the house and put down the basket.
"Master, please come in and sit down quickly."
When Mr. Lu saw Lu Qingye, he smiled and picked the weeds from her hair.
"Grandpa, you're not tired. You've been in the house for a long time and your bones are sore. Come out for a walk, come out for a walk! Xiao Qingye must be hungry. The food is all on the table. Come on, eat."
Lu Qingye quickly washed his hands and sat on the stool.
Although Mr. Lu suppressed himself, the intermittent coughing still made Lu Qingye worried.
Although she is seven years old, her mind is much precocious compared to her peers.
"Master, I picked a lot of medicinal materials today. I will take them to the drugstore in town tomorrow to check them out. After I change the money, I can prescribe some more medicines. By then, the weather will get warmer and the humidity will lessen. Your cough will That’s good.”
Mr. Lu had a loving smile on his face.
"Xiao Qingye, grandpa's illness is an old problem. Don't worry, he will be better after a while. But you, the weather is still cold now, don't run outside all the time. Save those medicinal materials for you to take to the town in the spring. Sell it, exchange it for money, keep it for yourself, remember not to tell others. This... the teacher always said... you can't reveal your wealth... it's always right to save more money."
Lu Qingye quickly picked up the rice.
"Master, I'm still young now, keep it for me!"
Mr. Lu looked at the little girl, feeling both happy and a little uncomfortable.
He knows his own body well.
There are some reasons for old problems, but the most common reason is age.
When he just picked up the little girl, she curled up into a ball and lay motionless in the grass with a pale face. If it weren't for the weak rise and fall, he would have thought that the little girl was dead.
Mr. Lu also had a wife and children when he was young. Unfortunately, his wife died of illness and his son also died during an escape. Since then, he has not married and had children.
This is also the reason why Uncle Lu's family has been looking forward to it. They have no children and that person is gone. They have no final say in the family's farmland and money. Who would have thought that Lu Qingye would appear halfway.
However, the Lu family did not take the young Lu Qingye seriously. Without Mr. Lu, a child of several years old would not be at their mercy.
And in their opinion, Lu Qingye has no blood relationship with their Lu family.
Mr. Lu also knew this in his heart, so he was very worried about the little girl.
He had nothing to say if Mr. Lu was still here and half of his things were given to his parents. But Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu were no longer here, and he and Mr. Lu had already separated.
Ever since he got old and sick, they had never cared about him. The only thing they cared about was probably the things on his body.
Mr. Lu has long looked down upon your so-called blood relatives.
As for Lu Qingye, the little girl has been very smart since she was a child. Later, when he got sick, the little girl often went to the village doctor Barefoot to get medicine. The kind-hearted doctor Wang also taught her some medicinal materials. From then on, the little girl He began to learn to pick medicinal materials, and while exchanging some scrap money, he subsidized his medicine.
The night is hazy, and the faint moonlight shines on the quiet village.
Lu Qingye counted all the medicinal materials he had stored these days.
He was calculating in his mind how much money would be left after excluding the money needed by Lu Erye for medicinal materials when he went out tomorrow.
Doctor Wang said that if you are weak, you can buy some good things to replenish your health.
Lu Qingye lowered his eyebrows and stared at the roof with his dark eyes.
In fact, she had already vaguely felt that her grandfather's disease could not be cured by those medicinal materials. The smell on his body was getting stronger and stronger...
But she doesn't want to give up!
As soon as dawn broke, Lu Qingye set off with his things.
The town was very lively. Lu Qingye found the drug store with ease, exchanged money, and grabbed some medicine.
The owner of the drug store sighed inwardly when he saw her struggling to carry a lot of things.
I couldn't help but sympathize with the young Lu Qingye, and lamented the fate of the world.
If the hemp rope is broken at a thin point, bad luck will only bring misfortune to the poor.
Lu Qingye walked out of the drug store carrying his things. The streets were bustling with people and the vendors selling on the streets were shouting.
Smelling the aroma of meat buns in the air, Lu Qingye couldn't help but swallow.
Not far away, there were bright red candied haws, as well as some new and interesting gadgets, but she didn't take a second look.
Walking quickly past the vendors, she was going to buy some health supplies for her grandpa.
It’s just that there seemed to be a lot of people on the street today, and they were all discussing something.
After Lu Qingye bought the things, he saw that the people gathered together not only did not disperse, but more and more people gathered together, so he couldn't help but join in curiously.
"Is it true? Immortals will come to our place to recruit disciples?"
"Of course it's true! Notices have been sent to Rock City! The towns closer to Rock City have also received the news a long time ago. That is to say, our place is relatively far away, and we only know now!"
"I... remember, the last time I met an immortal taking a disciple was more than fifty years ago. Now that I am old, I originally thought that I would never see such a grand event again in this life!"
"You guys think, why didn't the immortal accept his disciples earlier? Now I... am half dead..."
"What the immortals talk about is fate. Isn't there a word for fate in fairy fate? Why don't we have that fate?"
"But I also heard that once you are tested for immortality, you will be rewarded with many good things! It is said that there is also an elixir in it..."
Lu Qingye stood in the crowd, and there was constant discussion around him.
But the reward elixir sentence shocked her whole body.
Although she is young, she has heard the stories of immortals and knows how powerful the elixirs given by immortals are.
If... I can have the elixir to cure grandpa, maybe grandpa's illness can be completely cured!
Lu Qingye's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
When I returned to Damu Village carrying my things, the news about the Immortal's recruitment of disciples had already spread in the village.
