[41] Leave
Grandma was sleeping in bed when she heard movement and looked slightly to the door. I saw a trace of anxiety between Lan Fei's eyebrows, which she had never seen before, so she asked, "Little concubine, what's wrong?" β
Lan Fei helped her grandmother up and said softly: "The Dugu son of the Kunlun faction passed by and said that it was ...... He knows a bit about medicine, so he wants to come and see your illness. β
Grandma had the sensitivity unique to an old man, stared at Lan Fei and said, "We all know that the Kunlun faction is to kill monsters, when will we know how to heal again?" After a pause, "Your grandmother and I are also seventy or eighty people, and if you have something to say, what are you afraid of." β
Lan Fei bit her lip and said, "Dugu Gongzi...... Aware of all the demonic breath in our dwellings, it is very likely that your illness is caused by it. The concubine thought it would be better to let him in and see if it was as he thought. β
Grandma nodded: "Let him come in, I'm a dying old woman, so I don't care so much." β
Lan Fei was silent for a moment, and said loudly to the door: "Dugu Gongzi, please come in." β
The first second Dugu Chen stepped in, he felt that he had been cursed by the fox demon here.
The inky mist above the old man's head lingered, and although it was light, it could also make the mortal body invade like evil poison. Dugu Chen silently recited the trick, raised his sleeve slightly at the old man, and after a few seconds of stagnation, he lowered his hand again.
"What do you think now, old man?" Dugu Chen asked.
Grandma was a little happy and said, "It's much easier, it's much easier." β
"Really...... Is it much better? Lan Fei couldn't believe it, but grandma's complexion did improve in an instant.
Grandma nodded again and again and said, "This ...... This ......" seems to have forgotten what to call it, "Young man, thank you so much!" β
Lan Fei's joy was also overflowing, she looked at Dugu Chen very gratefully, got up and blessed, and said, "Thank you Dugu Gongzi." β
After a pause, "Now...... Is there still a fox demon breath in the house? β
Dugu Chen felt it and said, "I don't notice it yet." He returned the salute to Lan Fei, "If the girl has nothing else to do, she will leave first." β
Grandma said, "Hey, Dugu Gongzi stays." He looked at Lan Fei again, "Concubine, Dugu Gongzi should be tired after being busy for so long, you go and prepare some food." β
Lan Fei was stunned, feeling as if her grandmother was deliberately supporting herself, but she didn't dare to disobey, she gave a long answer, glanced at Dugu Chen again, and went out.
Dugu Chen was also a little puzzled, just standing, quite aware of the meaning of respect.
"Sit down, young man."
Dugu Chen hesitated for a moment, but still sat down, and said, "I don't know what the old man commands?" β
Grandma sighed slightly and asked, "You Kunlun faction...... Do you accept female disciples? β
Dugu Chen was stunned: "It's ...... There are female disciples. β
Grandma said again: "My granddaughter...... Actually, it wasn't my son's own. Seventeen years ago, my son was out on business, and on his way home, he saw this abandoned baby girl and picked her up. Who knows, it didn't take long for my son and daughter-in-law to go, leaving me as a lonely old woman and a little girl who couldn't speak. I thought that she and I would not live for more than a few months, and we would live by selling our property every day, and there would always be a day when we would sit and eat, right? Outcome...... For a long time, there was always food or clothes in front of our building. I lock the door every day, this inexplicable favor, I accepted it for the sake of my concubine, but I was very afraid. It wasn't until I was sick and couldn't get out of bed that I felt that this was retribution. Seeing that the concubine is getting bigger and bigger, she has become a big girl, and it is not a matter of staying in Lanfu for me all day long. Speaking of which, at her age, she should have been married a long time ago. The concubine is not bad-looking, and her temperament is also gentle, but in this situation in our house, where can we afford a decent dowry? β
After listening to what his grandmother said, Dugu Chen understood a little, it was precisely because this old man was unable to continue to raise Lan Fei, and Lan Fei was quite embarrassed at this age, and she should marry when she met a female princess...... Dugu Chen was a little speechless, and said after a moment of silence: "Although there is no shortage of female disciples in the Kunlun Sect, all the entry points must be tested through guΓ², and not others can introduce them." After a pause, "This favor, I forgive the juniors for not being able to help." β
Grandma shook her head: "I know this, whether I go to the Kunlun faction or not depends on her creation, I won't be strong." As long as...... Just let the concubine get out of here. β
Dugu Chen was puzzled: "Why do you have to leave here?" β
"Well, you don't know...... When my granddaughter was five years old, she saw a swallow dead under a peach tree in the courtyard and wanted to bury it. As a result, she also held the swallow, and the swallow ...... He came back to life from her hands. After a pause, "Fortunately, my old wife saw it that day, otherwise I would have to be caught by the neighbors and burned as a monster." β
This was unexpected by Dugu Chen, and he asked lightly: "Are you sure that the swallow is dead before?" β
"It's not wrong, it's motionless on the ground, and when the concubine finds it, come to me and tell me that it's stiff."
Dugu Chen was silent, and only after a moment did he say, "So you think ...... Her origin is unknown, maybe she is not of my race? Seeing her eyes glazed, "It's impossible, I can't feel the monster breath from her." But as you say, you can bring the dead back to life...... It's really not something ordinary people can do. β
Grandma sighed and said, "Whether she killed my son and daughter-in-law or not, after all, after raising me for so many years, I also have feelings, but I'm afraid that her inexplicable power will not be able to hide it...... You immortal cultivators are surprised, what should others think when they see it? Despite my age, I still have more than enough to take care of myself, so I have such a plan. β
"Grandma, I'm doneβ" Lan Fei knocked on the door.
Grandma stopped talking instantly, and Dugu Chen also looked sideways at the door. When Lan Fei pushed the door and entered, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, and the atmosphere was a little strange, but she couldn't elaborate. She stopped in front of Dugu Chen with the steamed cake, watched him take a piece, and then went to her grandmother's side.
"It's the fastest to do, and please don't mind." Lan Fei bowed her head slightly, and her cheeks were covered with a pale red.
She is not good at lying, but the actual reason for making steamed cakes is that there are no other extra ingredients at home.
Dugu Chen smiled faintly, politely finished the steamed cake in his hand, and said, "The girl's skills are good." β
"Childe praises." Lan Fei bowed.
The ensuing silence followed.
Each of them has a heart on his mind.
Dugu Chen was carefully thinking about his grandmother's words before, and his grandmother was thinking about whether he would agree, and as for Lan Fei, she was wondering what they said after she left, and why it suddenly became like this.
Dugu Chen saved his grandmother, and it is true that he is kind to the Lan family, but why does he have a sad face, and his grandmother looks thoughtful, and even looks at himself and Dugu Chen from time to time.
What kind of medicine do they sell in their gourds?
"Old man, you better ask the girl herself about this matter first." With that, Dugu Chen got up and walked towards the door.
Lan Fei didn't know why: "Grandma? β
Grandma sighed deeply and said, "Didn't you say that you have often dreamed of a strange scene lately, and the young man said that there is something unclean here...... The Kunlun faction is a decent sect for cultivating immortals, why don't you go to Kunlun too, even if you can't worship the disciples, it is good to be able to solve this doubt. "Although Grandma also thinks it's inappropriate to entrust you to a stranger like this, ...... The lad looked upright, not like a bad guy. β
Lan Fei shook her head: "Grandma, it's not a question of whether he is a bad person or not, you also know that I was born with some ...... Inexplicable power, I don't want to be seen as an outlier. β
"Alas...... Grandma doesn't want you to be treated as an outlier, but now that you are getting older and older, someone will definitely come to the door to propose marriage soon, you are like this, how can I rest assured that you will marry away? If you don't get married, you will inevitably be gossiped about by your neighbors. β
"I'm not afraid, gossip, they will say what they want. Anyway...... I'm not leaving. Lan Fei was a little angry, "What should you do when I'm gone?" I won't leave you alone! β
Grandma was also a little angry: "You kid, you won't listen to grandma when you grow up, right?" After a pause, he softened his tone again, "It's not that you don't want to go back, if you can figure out what is going on with your power, and whether it will hurt your body...... It's not impossible to come back! Do you really want to be unclear and unclear for the rest of your life? Even if you don't care, grandma and I'm worried......" At this point, grandma choked up a little.
Lan Fei fell silent, she had to admit that her grandmother was right, and she herself was deeply curious about what was going on, and she could often see green smoke rising from the heads of many people, and some people did not. Even, what is the dream that I often have...... But grandma is alone here, she can't.
"Grandma, I'm not worried about you being here alone." Lan Fei cautiously leaned on her grandmother's lap, "You are old, how dare I go far alone?" β
Grandma stretched out her hand, gently stroked her hair, and then said softly: "Concubine, listen to grandma, go early this time and return early." Grandma is fine now, and her body is very strong...... It's no problem to take care of yourself for half a year. Besides, the neighbors on both sides are also good, and they will definitely take care of me when they see a lonely old woman. If they ask where you have been, your grandmother will say, "You have gone to another place to find medicine to treat your grandmother." You've always been a good and filial boy, and they won't think much about it. β
Lan Fei just lay quietly on her stomach, biting her lip and crying silently. She knew that her grandmother was doing this for her own good, but she never crossed the hurdle in her heart. But when I think of myself being so stubborn again, my grandmother will get angry and maybe hurt herself. It's better to really go early and return early, the grandmother of the province is worried.
"Concubine, what do you think?"
"I ...... I don't know much either......" Lan Fei snorted, and was silent for a moment, and finally compromised, "Grandma, I'll be back soon if I leave this time." β
