Chapter 175: Misunderstanding

Ren Xiaochen said indifferently, "It's okay, if there is anything, the old man can go and be busy, just take care of himself." ’

The old woman was a little embarrassed and said, "It's really difficult to be the mountain god, it's the old body that is indeed a little snub to the mountain god, and the mountain god is sitting in the house." As he spoke, he invited Ren Xiaochen to the hall.

The old woman couldn't help but stumble a few steps, and almost fell to the ground, Ren Xiaochen hurriedly held the old woman, and the old woman held her forehead and said, "Thank you, Lord Mountain God, maybe, I've been too tired recently, and I can't sleep peacefully, and I'm a little dizzy today." ’

Ren Xiaochen said, "Well, it may be that you are too tired because of Elder Mei's matter recently, you can also take care of your body!"

The old woman hurriedly sat down and said, "Thank you for your concern, it's true that I've been working a lot lately, it's okay, just rest for a while." Out of the way. ’

Ren Xiaochen also smiled and didn't say anything, looking outside the hall, his divine sense shrouded the entire courtyard, this not small courtyard of the old man Mei, always paying attention to the strange young woman and the old man surnamed Mei who was lying on the bed, Elder Mei.

At this time, Ren Xiaochen noticed that the water used by his subordinates and the water he wanted to use for himself were all taken from the water tank in the courtyard. Without letting Ren Xiaochen is face change, he didn't think of anything, his divine sense swept into the kitchen, and saw that there were several water tanks in the kitchen, and he looked at the old woman's ugly face, and couldn't help but observe the people who occasionally walked by and the people in the courtyard, and then he was taken aback, everyone in the Li Mei family, no matter who it was, was faintly waiting for a slightly wrong breath, faintly more like they didn't have the slightest spirit, everyone was slightly pale and ugly, Ren Xiaochen was shocked and also glanced at the tea in front of his table, it was just made tea just now, and it was just brought to him。

Picking up the teacup, he took a small sip with a frown, took a small sip of it, took it in his mouth, tasted it carefully, and then spit out the tea back into the teacup quietly, and then asked the old woman, "I want to ask more, there are a few large vats in the courtyard, but for the usual water, I don't know if the family uses it together?"

The old woman also relieved her spirit and said, "Ah, it is true, but it is only used normally, and the edible water is not like this, but in the kitchen, there are two large water tanks. What about everyone? They all draw water from a few wells in the Swift Wind Village, and there are only a few places on the mountain where water comes out. Those wells are the ones that feed all of us in Windrush. ’

Ren Xiaochen nodded, he also knew this, he took a sip of tea, and felt that there was no problem with the tea, but for the sake of safety, he still didn't drink it, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, it seems that the water in the kitchen is still fine, and the problem is naturally the water used by the subordinates. I must have seen a scene unintentionally, and I knew what was going on with my own guess, although I didn't know that it was a variety of plants, but it must have a certain negative effect.

Thinking of this, Ren Xiaochen said, 'I hope to adopt a suggestion in the next place!'

The old woman said casually, "What do you suggest?"

Ren Xiaochen said solemnly, "I think it's better to send someone to boil some water in the kitchen." ’

The old woman was a little puzzled and said, "Why now?"

Ren Xiaochen shook and didn't say anything. Seeing this, the old woman didn't ask too much, and said a few words to the subordinates who walked by, and then said to Ren Xiaochen, "Everything has been done in accordance with the will of the adult." ’

Ren Xiaochen asked again, "I have a question below, I want to ask, it may also involve your family's family affairs, please don't be weird!"

The old woman said, "It's okay, the mountain god can just ask." ’

Ren Xiaochen asked very interestingly, "Presumably, I have been in your house for a period of time from yesterday to now, and I can be regarded as identifying the people in your family, but I feel very curious, is there an outsider in your family, or is it not your family's daughter?"

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly, "Outsiders, there are no outsiders in the family, in addition to the children and subordinates in the family, there is a goddaughter, not an outsider?"

Ren Xiaochen nodded and asked, "Then are there any newcomers in the near future?"

The old woman felt a little inexplicable about Ren Xiaochen's question, but she still replied, "The subordinates in my compound are all old people, and they haven't hired new subordinates for many years. ’

Ren Xiaochen nodded and said, "Do you know the origin of your goddaughter?"

The old woman said, "You said that goddaughter of mine?" The old woman looked at Ren Xiaochen with some strange eyes and continued, "This goddaughter of mine is the daughter of a little sister in the early years of the old man, she went early, and the family background is even worse, and the man abandoned the mother and daughter, and I don't know where I went, and it is estimated that most of them died outside. When her mother was dying, she asked someone to bring a letter to the old body, at that time my goddaughter was still young, but I also knew what was going on, although the old body and her mother were also a little age gap, but after all, she was also a person who was kind to herself, so after she left, the old body also raised her as his own daughter. The dead old man in my family also learned about it, and he also loved this woman, and he was even more spoiled than his own daughter, but I was a woman, and I was also very stubborn, since I came to the compound? These, my stubborn donkey-like old man will not live and die. Sometimes it's all envious for his own children!'

Ren Xiaochen said, "I don't know, your daughter is a good person." ’

The old woman looked at Ren Xiaochen with a smile and said, "I have a daughter, she is gentle and virtuous, kind-hearted, and she is very good-looking." ’

Ren Xiaochen felt that the old woman's eyes had become strange, and he couldn't help but stop and not ask more, for fear that the old woman would misunderstand and think that he meant something to this goddaughter.

The old woman saw that Ren Xiaochen was no longer asking, but she suddenly came to her senses, and said with a smile: "I see that Lord Mountain God is so good-looking, presumably he should not be too old, right? It's only because the little girl has always been repulsed by this matter, saying that she must find a young talent who can see her eye, then she can get married and be willing. So I haven't been able to get married, if the mountain god is interested, the old body can be her master, how about the mountain god?"

Ren Xiaochen smiled a little embarrassedly, but he knew that he had been misunderstood, and hurriedly said apologetically, "This, it's really a little inappropriate, right? I really didn't know how to answer, so I hurriedly changed the topic and said, "I don't think it's too early, let's go see Elder Mei!"

The old woman smiled and continued, "The old body is a good intention, Lord Mountain God can think about it, think about it." Don't have any worries, I'm embarrassed to speak, men should get married, women should get married, the ancient truth, not to mention that you immortal cultivators won't become a family? Alas, the old woman sighed as she spoke, and continued, I don't know if I, the hard-working goddaughter, have this blessing. ’

Ren Xiaochen is head is full of black lines, but in his heart, he secretly retorted, "Your goddaughter is indeed hard, but it is true, but his mind is a little vicious." ’

'I think we'd better go and see, Elder Mei is good.' Ren Xiaochen said at this time.

The old woman said slowly, "He also just fell asleep. In fact, the old woman also suddenly understood that from Ren Xiaochen's sudden change of words, it could be seen that the young man in front of her was not interested in his goddaughter, maybe she had misunderstood. The old woman also suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but she still smiled and said, "Maybe it's because the old body is troublesome, you young people? ’

Ren Xiaochen also smiled, and he didn't mention going to visit Elder Mei.

For a while, he fell into silence, and after waiting for a long time, a maid said respectfully to the old woman, "Old lady, everything is ready, and the hot water has been boiled." ’

The old woman nodded and said, "I know, you guys go down first!" After speaking, she turned her head to look at Ren Xiaochen and said, "Lord Mountain God, everything has been prepared according to your requirements." ’

Ren Xiaochen stood up and said, "Since that's the case, let's give it a try." After speaking, he walked out of the hall and walked towards Elder Mei's ward, and saw a woman walking slowly not far from Elder Mei's ward, Ren Xiaochen recognized that this woman was the woman who fished out the inexplicable plant from the water tank before dawn.

Ren Xiaochen turned his head and asked the old woman and said, "This young lady should be ~~~~~."

After Ren Xiaochen finished speaking, the old woman answered and said, "Yes, it's my goddaughter." The old man was dressed and asked her to give a gift to the mountain god. ’

Ren Xiaochen watched the woman turn the corner of the room from a distance and enter a room. Did he hurriedly stop the old woman and said, 'Don't be so troublesome, it's still important to save Elder Mei.' ’

The old woman also said knowingly, "That's fine, let's talk about it in the future!" Then Lord Mountain God, please come here,' After speaking, she took a step forward and walked in front to cause Ren Xiaochen to come to him.
