"Son, are you back?"
A woman's old and frail voice came from inside the room.
Zhang Yan hurriedly walked in and saw an old woman lying on a tattered couch.
The clothes were in rags, and the quilt looked like it was sewn from rags.
Her eyes sunk deeply into her sockets, her face turned blue, and her condition seemed very bleak.
"Mom, I have collected the medicine and will cook it for you right away."
Zhang Yan took out the medicinal herbs on his body.
I saw that there were already several medicines on the table, and I just needed to cook them according to the prescription together with the medicinal materials on my body.
"Son, come here."
The old woman called out weakly again.
Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment and then walked over.
The old woman stretched out her bony arm, grabbed Zhang Yan's arm, and examined it carefully with her dim eyes.
Zhang Yan's heart was beating wildly, fearing that she would recognize that he was fake.
But it looks like it won't.
The old woman touched Zhang Yan for a while and then breathed a sigh of relief: "It's hard for my son. Fortunately, the Bodhisattva blessed you and you were not hurt."
"Mom, just take a good rest and I'll make some medicine."
Zhang Yan said.
But the old woman still refused to let go: "Son, it doesn't matter to me.
He is already half buried up to his neck in soil. My son is twenty years old and is still unmarried. I can’t let go.
How do you want me to face your father after I die? "
“Mom, this matter can’t be rushed.
You'd better take your medicine first. "
Zhang Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The old woman's words were all too familiar to him.
Ever since he became a soul master, his mother has been muttering beside him.
Let yourself find a girlfriend to go back to.
Zhang Yan felt it was troublesome, so he often let Nie Xiaoqian out.
Only then did his mother change her target and asked him something that made him laugh or cry: "Can I have a grandson with my companion, the strange spirit?" '
It seems that all mothers in the world are the same.
Zhang Yan patted the old woman's hand, prepared the medicine, and brought it to the old woman.
Wait for her to drink it.
While drinking, the old woman ordered: "Gu Sheng, what do you want to eat tonight?
I'll make it for you later.
You went to collect medicine for me in the wild. You can't do that again.
The wild is said to be haunted. If anything happens to you, how should I live? "
"I know, I know, mother.
If you are sick, stop talking and take medicine first..."
Suddenly, Zhang Yan's hand that was feeding the medicine suddenly stopped.
He opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "Mom, what did you call me just now?"
"Gu Sheng."
The old woman was also stunned: "Son, why are you so stunned?
Did he provoke Feng Xie outside the city?
You must not have any shortcomings..."
Zhang Yan suddenly stood up and walked to the door in a few steps.
Open the door.
Staring at the opposite side without blinking.
As expected, there is an empty house opposite. No one lives in it. The roof has not been repaired for many years, and the main beams are a little skewed.
It was this empty house that Zhang Yan stared at for a long time.
His heart was beating wildly.
"My name is still Zhang Yan in this story, but my nickname is Gu Sheng.
Finally I know what the story is! "
Zhang Yan said happily.
In Liaozhai, there is only one male protagonist named Gu Sheng.
That's the plot of "The Heroine".
Throughout the novel, the heroine Xia Nu, her real name is never mentioned.
That's why Zhang Yan was confused when Liu Wushuang's name appeared in the book.
Liu Wushuang is a chivalrous woman.
This is a world of high martial arts and evil spirits, and Liu Wushuang is almost at the pinnacle of female martial arts in all the stories in Liaozhai.
She is also a very independent heroine.
Never depend on men, stay straight and go alone.
In doing things and being a good person, you will never be sloppy.
As for shortcomings, there are no shortcomings.
"It's not easy to increase the bond with her."
Zhang Yan was excited while saying it was not easy.
Last night, a flash of rainbow light killed two evil ghosts, and the figures in flowing clothes were seen.
It is still unforgettable for Zhang Yan.
“I won’t be affected by the suspension bridge effect, right?
Why is she always on my mind? "
Zhang Yan shook his head.
If the plot is correct, Liu Wushuang will live in that dilapidated house with his mother in a few days.
Zhang Yan just needs to wait quietly.
After Gu Sheng's mother drank the medicine, her condition improved a lot.
I was able to get up and walk that afternoon.
Zhang Yan was very emotional.
The world of Gaowu is different, a bowl of medicinal soup is so effective.
In the evening, mother cooked half of the fish Zhang Yan brought back, and the other half wanted to dry it and store it.
Zhang Yan stopped her: "Mom, you are not in good health, please eat more.
Tomorrow I will try to find a way to buy more food. "
"Gu'er, you have been weak since you were a child, so you should eat more."
Mother carefully picked off most of the fish meat and gave it to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan took it back to Mother Gu again: "Mom, the baby is not hungry."
The mother then shed tears while eating: "Gu'er, mother is useless, dragging you down to suffer."
"Mom, it's not hard.
everything will get better. "
Zhang Yan's eyes became sore as he spoke.
After a night of silence, Zhang Yan planned to improve his family's life before Liu Wushuang showed up.
After all, the Gu Sheng family was so poor that even dogs looked down upon them.
One good thing about Gaowu World is that Luotang is close to the mountains and there are many small animals.
However, there is also a disadvantage in the world of high martial arts, that is, there are many evil spirits and ghosts.
Zhang Yan is deeply aware of how terrifying these ghosts are. The two evil ghosts last night are examples.
So he just went into the slightly uninhabited mountains and hunted a few silly roe deer.
"As expected of the world of martial arts, even the stupid roe deer can run faster than me."
Zhang Yan was helpless.
The silly roe deer, which is harmless to humans and animals, actually attacks people.
And he may not be able to beat it.
But fortunately the stupid roe deer would attack him, otherwise he would not be able to activate the passive protection function of the golden snake sword and kill it.
I carried the silly roe deer back home. Half of the skin and meat were sold, and the other half was left for Mother Gu to make dried meat for storage.
Gu's mother was shocked: "Gu'er, where did your two roe deer come from?"
Naturally, Zhang Yan would not say that he hunted him.
He plays the role of a weak scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken, and how can he kill a stupid roe deer?
Not being hunted by stupid roe deer is already pretty good.
"Today, a hunter asked me to write a couplet urgently, saying it was of urgent use.
He was very satisfied with the couplet I wrote, so he paid me two roe deer. "
Zhang Yan made an excuse.
Gu's mother did not doubt that he was there, and said happily: "Gu'er, let's sell all the remaining roe deer meat.
My stomach can't eat much.
The money from the sale will be used to buy you a wife. "
"Mom, it's better to take care of your illness first."
Zhang Yan smiled and asked Gu's mother to go back to bed and rest more.
Zhang Yan has been busy these days.
Occasionally, I hunted some small game, and all the money I got was used for lumber, and I repaired some dilapidated houses.
At least when it rains, it won't rain lightly outside and rain heavily inside.
Gu's mother saw it, although she was a little confused as to why Gu Sheng suddenly changed a lot.
But she was also very pleased that her son could be so encouraging and diligent.
Watching life gradually getting better, and the dilapidated house at home gradually becoming habitable.
Gu's mother even felt much better in spirit.
She looked at Zhang Yan, who was busy with his business, and at the newly repaired roof.
I feel happy in my heart.
After the family was repaired like this, she finally had the nerve to go to the town to find the daughter of a good family and propose marriage.
Zhang Yan stayed in Luotang for four days.
On the fifth day, there was finally movement in the abandoned house opposite.
