Subsequently, Lu Feng and Tongyun went down the mountain to Yiyang Village, while Lu Yunqing stayed behind to study with Yan Lingyu.

The next day, Lu Yunqing got up early in the morning, ready to follow Gong Wanran down the mountain to fetch water, the two of them had just packed up the flat pole and bucket in the kitchen, but they heard the senior brothers outside discussing.

"You know what? In the end, the kid stayed. ”

"yes, fucking whore!"

"Haha, isn't it, and his father is a gambler, how can the master accept such an apprentice? Can their family afford to pay the tuition? We can't afford to read for children from rich families here! Hmph, I don't want to be a brother to such a child! He makes people feel sick when they look at it. ”

"That's it! It is! It's really strange to say, I really don't know what Master thinks, that guy is like a bug. ”

"Haha! That's it! You're right! Like bugs! It's disgusting, let's ignore him! ”

"Isn't it! That Gong Wanran is also sick, and he takes him every day, let's not get too close to Gong Huiran in the future, the province is contaminated with insect odor! ”

"Haha! Oh, yes! Oh, yes! ”

Gong Wan pulled Lu Yunqing and said in a low voice, "Ignore them." ”

Lu Yunqing didn't speak, there was no expression on his face, he just nodded silently, the two of them walked out of the kitchen with a bucket, but collided with a few senior brothers, Lu Yunqing didn't dare to look up, and quickly followed Gong Wanran away, but the senior brothers behind him still whispered and pointed.

The two of them fetched water as usual, and when they returned, it was nearly dusk.

At dinner, Gong Hui didn't see Lu Yunqing, he could still hear the senior brothers at the dinner table laughing at Lu Yunqing, so he ate two bites casually and left the cafeteria silently.

Gong Wanran walked out of the courtyard gate, walked dozens of steps along the stone steps down the mountain, and came to the suspended platform on the side of the road, and sure enough, Lu Yunqing was sitting on the edge of the cliff.

Gong Wanran silently walked to Lu Yunqing's side, sat down against Lu Yunqing, and then, he took out a piece of dry cake and handed it to Lu Yunqing, he didn't speak, just looked at Lu Yunqing gently.

Lu Yun raised his head lightly, pursed his mouth, wanted to say something but couldn't open his mouth, there was a lot of pain in his heart, but he didn't know where to start, Gong Wanran just looked at him with a sideways face, always smiling slightly.

Suddenly, Lu Yunqing's nose suddenly became sore, and he cried, "Senior brother, woo." ”

Gong Wanran hugged Lu Yunqing and patted him on the back, "Let's eat something, okay?" ”

"Good...... Whining...... Good ......"

Then Lu Yun grabbed the dry biscuit, gobbled it up, stroked his back gently, and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke." ”

"Hmmm! Whining! Well! Lu Yunqing chewed the cake and nodded with a sob.

The sky was getting dark, and the autumn night on the top of the mountain was extremely cold, Lu Yunqing couldn't help but shiver, and Gong Wanran leaned against Lu Yunqing tightly to keep him warm.

"Senior Brother Gonghui, I think what the other senior brothers said is right, I also feel like a worm."

"How can you say that? I think Yunqing is very cute. ”

"Senior brother, you don't need to comfort me, I am from a humble background, my body is thin, and I have no talents, compared to my senior brothers, I am like an abominable worm."

"I don't think so, I think you're kind-hearted and a rare good boy." Gong Wanran touched Lu Yunqing's head.

"I, I am indeed very humble, I am self-aware, senior brother, don't take me with me in the future, they will dislike you together."

"No! Whatever they want, I will always take you with me, after all, I am your senior brother! "The public is firm in his words.

"Senior brother...... You, don't you dislike me as an ugly little worm? Lu Yun asked with a low self-esteem.

Gong Wanran covered Lu Yunqing's cheeks with both hands, turned his head to face him, and then said with a smile: "What's ugly?" What a handsome child, haha. ”

Lu Yunqing was amused by Gong Wanran, but said sadly: "Senior brother, I ......"

"Shhh......hhh

Lu Yun asked in a strange low voice, "Senior brother, what's wrong?" ”

"Look! Look at that! Gong Wanran pointed to a piece of grass and trees on the cliff not far away.

"What's wrong? What's there? Lu Yun looked at it for a long time and didn't find anything unusual.

"Wait a minute."

With that, he stood up and picked up a small pebble on the ground, and threw it at the grass and trees.

Suddenly, countless golden sparks rose into the sky among the grass and trees, lingering in unpredictable trajectories, outlining brilliant patterns in the air, and these sparks were like the glimmer of a dream, surrounding the two of them for a long time.

"Yun Qing, look, fireflies, it's so beautiful!" Gong Wanran took Lu Yunqing's hand and sighed.

"Hmmm! It's so beautiful! Lu Yunqing couldn't help but admire.

Gong Wanran looked at Lu Yun and said firmly: "If you have to say that you are a bug, then I think you are a beautiful firefly, a firefly that lights up the sky in the dark night." ”

"Senior Brother......

The corners of Lu Yunqing's eyes were moist, and the cold wind of the cold night seeped into the bone marrow, but the body temperature of the public warmed his heart, and the fireflies flew, echoing with the stars in the sky, as if the smart stars lit up the road of life.

Although the public is cared for in every way, in the teacher, Lu Yunqing has always been a student who is looked down upon, he is thin and weak, and his humble background is even more shameful. He was often bullied, but every time he was bullied, he would endure humiliation and never resist.

It may be because of these reasons that Lu Yunqing puts all his energy into studying, he never plays, even when others are resting, he is still studying hard. He is not only hardworking, but also very intelligent, often drawing inferences and touching on others. Yan Lingyu likes this student very much, so he will teach him as many skills as possible.

Time flies, and five years have passed in a blink of an eye. Lu Yunqing majored in medical skills and has already made some achievements. In addition, Yan Lingyu also taught Lu Yunqing some basic martial arts and the art of war, and Lu Yunqing was also hungry for these contents, and accepted them all.

On this day, Lu Yunqing came to the library and stepped on a ladder to take down a volume of pharmacopoeia from the top of the bookshelf. Although the content of this pharmacopoeia is very profound, far from what he should have been exposed to at this stage, but in addition to these advanced pharmacopoeia, he has already memorized the rest of the pharmacopoeias, and in order to learn more, he wants to try to read them.

After reading for a while, he suddenly noticed that there was a passage in it that talked about the toxicity of an herb.

This herb, called anise, is commonly used externally to treat bruises and is a medicinal herb that can be found everywhere in the mountains and forests. Some time ago, Lu Yun accidentally sprained his foot, and Gong Wanran used thin anime to help him apply it externally. However, there is also a record in the pharmacopoeia about the use of anise that if it is ignited, it will be toxic and can cause coma in a short time.

Seeing this, Lu Yunqing couldn't help but sigh, the properties of medicinal materials are so diverse, and the same medicinal materials, if you use them differently, there will be such a big difference.

In amazement, Lu Yun lightly heard the master calling him behind him.

"Yun Qing, come here."

"Master!" Lu Yunqing hurriedly put down the scroll and got up to salute.

Yan Lingyu nodded and said, "You have been studying medicine with me for five years, although it is not a long time, but you have worked very hard, and your medical skills are also considered to be a small success." There is an errand that you need to go down the mountain to do, and it can be regarded as an exam. ”

"Exams?" Lu Yunqing was a little inexplicably excited.

"Well, someone in Yiyang Village has a strange disease, and the village elder asked me to go down the mountain for treatment, but I can't get out of the body if I have something, so you can go for me. It's been five years, and you've never been down the mountain, so you can take this opportunity to visit your parents. ”

"In vain obey."

"Okay, rest today, let's leave tomorrow." Yan Lingyu said, took out some money from his arms and handed it to Lu Yunqing, "Take this money and use it on the road." ”

Lu Yunqing took the money and said, "Master, I can leave today." ”

"It's okay, whatever you want."

So, Lu Yun made a little preparation and went down the mountain alone.

When Lu Yunqing arrived in Yiyang Village, it was already evening, and every household in Yiyang Village was brightly lit and smoked from cooking.

Lu Yun thought to himself, it was too late, it was better to visit his parents first, and then report to Elder Yan's hometown the next day.

So, he came to the door of a butcher, bought a piece of fatty meat, and asked the butcher by the way: "Excuse me, where is Lu Feng's house?" ”

As soon as the butcher heard the name Lu Feng, his face was immediately full of disdain, and he sneered and said, "Hmph, are you talking about that gambler?" Does he owe you money? ”

Lu Yunqing's heart trembled, and he said, "No...... Not...... There is no ......"

"Heh, what are you looking for him for? I really don't know what the elder thinks, he actually let such a person settle in the village. ”

He ...... Is he still gambling? ”

"Hmph, what else can that scum do but gamble?"

"Oh, oh...... I see......"

"There." The butcher handed the fat meat to Lu Yunqing, pointed to the west of the village by the way, and said, "He lives over there, and the most broken household is." ”

"Thank you, thank you......"

Lu Yunqing took the fat meat, and after paying the money, he ran away.

After walking not far in the direction pointed by the butcher, Lu Yunqing really saw a dilapidated household, which was a small earthen courtyard with an extremely simple earthen house, and even the thatch on the roof was broken. Lu Yunqing walked to the door, and was about to knock on the door, only to see that the rotten wooden door had broken from the middle, revealing a huge gap. Through the gap, Lu Yun looked at the inside of the house in a dilapidated state, except for a straw mat, almost all the walls of the house were empty.

Lu Yun knocked lightly on the door, but there was no response. Feeling a sense of loss, he turned to leave, but just as he turned around, he saw his father standing in the courtyard, his dirty and sloppy appearance still exactly the same as before.

"Are you...... Cloud? Cloud light? Lu Feng seemed a little afraid to recognize each other.

Lu Yunqing was a little excited, after all, he hadn't seen each other for five years, and he was a little excited to see his father again at this time, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Father, I'm Yunqing." ”

Lu Feng stepped forward excitedly, hugged Lu Yunqing, and said with a smile: "Haha, Yunqing has grown so big!" How many years has this been? It must have been three or four years, right? ”

"It's been five years...... Father. ”

"Oh?! It's been five years? Ha ha! Time is so fast! Hurry up, come into the house and say! ”

As soon as Lu Feng pushed the door, the broken door swayed open, and Lu Feng swaggered into the room, and then lay down on the straw mat.

"Has my father eaten? I bought a piece of meat, or I'll cook it for my father. ”

"Good! Good! Let's cook, don't say, I'm starving! ”

Lu Yun nodded lightly and began to light a fire, he asked while cleaning up, "Father, where is my mother?" ”

"Hmm...... You her...... Hmm......" Lu Feng hesitated for a while before he said, "Your mother went back to her mother's house." ”

"Mother's house? My mother is not a father, from ......" Lu Yun didn't finish his words, and he couldn't say any more.

Lu Feng suddenly realized, and hurriedly changed his words: "Your mother ran away again!" Damn stinky bitch running away with people again! I'm afraid you'll be sad so I don't dare to tell you the truth! ”

"Yes...... Really? Where did she go? ”

"Humph! How do I know! ”

"When was that?"

"Just the other day! Damn it! ”

"Did Father go and find him?"

"What are you looking for! I'm not going to look for it! It's good she's dead! Alright, alright! Don't ask! Adult's business, what do children care! Lu Feng shouted angrily.

"Father, are you still ......?"

"Still what?!" Lu Feng looked at Lu Yunqing with an angry expression.

"It's nothing ......" Lu Yun lowered his head gloomily and didn't say anything more.

After eating, it was dark, and Lu Feng lay on the straw mat, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

Lu Yun lay on the other side, tears silently sliding from the corners of his eyes.

In the middle of the night, Lu Feng suddenly sat up, and he shouted softly: "Yun Qing, Yun Qing, are you sleeping?" ”

Lu Yunqing did not respond.

So, Lu Feng tiptoed to the door and gently opened the door, although he was already very careful, the broken wooden door still made a creaking sound. Lu Feng was worried that this voice would wake up Lu Yunqing, so he leaned against the door and shouted softly: "Yunqing, Yunqing." ”

Lu Yunqing still didn't respond, Lu Feng nodded to himself, and then left the earth house.

Lu Feng took advantage of the night to leave the village, and then walked towards the mountains and forests to the west. He walked through the grave hill in the west of the village in the dark, and then walked for another hour, and finally saw a light in the col.

I saw a big man waiting for him there.

When Dahan saw Lu Feng, he scolded: "Why did you come so late!" I thought you weren't coming! Hum! If you show up a little later, I'll kill your wife!" ”

"How dare I not come?! There's something going on at home, it's late, hehe, it's late......" Lu Feng said scaredly.

"Humph! Land Breeze! The big man grabbed him as soon as he grabbed him, "If you dare to play tricks with us, I will definitely make your life worse than death!" ”

"Don't dare! Can't! I'm honest! Honestly...... Well...... I want to meet my wife......"

"Humph! Come with me! ”

"Good, good ......"

Lu Feng followed the big man into a cave next to him, and behind them, a thin figure followed quietly, hiding in the cave with his waist bent.
