Chapter 38: The Old Man of the Xu Family

"How much are you going to borrow?"

It's just a few yuan stones, Ling Dao doesn't care, in fact, he wants to know what difficulties Xu Qingru has encountered, obviously the difficulties she encountered are not ordinary, otherwise she wouldn't be a shopping guide with this appearance, how far has this been forced!

"Ten or five can be, I will return it to you as soon as possible!" Xu Qingru heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he looked at him full of hope.

Ling Dao didn't hesitate, and directly took out ten yuan stones and handed them to her.

"Can you tell me what trouble you've encountered, of course, if you think ten yuan stones can solve it, needless to say!"

"Thank you Ling Dao!"

Xu Qingru saw that he was willing to lend himself the Yuan Stone, his little face couldn't help but bloom with a beautiful smile, and he took the Yuan Stone happily two steps forward, and thanked him.

However, hearing Ling Dao's words, her smile couldn't help but slowly become stiff, and finally disappeared completely, turning into a touch of sorrow, a little more desolate, and her eyes were also rosy, and a trace of mist floated.

"My grandfather's health has not been very good, just three days ago he fell, our Yuan Shi has been treated by Grandpa, and what can be borrowed has also been borrowed, there is no way I begged to the place where Grandpa works, but they are not willing to lend me Yuan Shi, just said let me earn it myself...... Woohoo......"

Xu Qingru's eyes were filled with tears, and she told her what happened to her intermittently, but in the end, thinking of what she had suffered in the past two days and her grandfather's illness, she couldn't help but feel sad and cried.

"Sister, you comfort and comfort her......"

Seeing Xu Qingru crying, Ling Dao couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, he was most afraid of girls crying, seeing her crying, he hurriedly pushed Ling Xuan over and asked her to comfort Xu Qingru.

"You!"

Ling Xuan shook her head at him and sighed, quite helpless, stepped forward to take Xu Qingru into her arms, patted her back gently, and comforted: "It's better to cry, but don't be too sad, Xiaodao and I will help you, don't worry!"

For Xu Qingru, Ling Xuan's heart is also full of pity, she is also an "ugly" woman, and she can better understand Xu Qingru's heart, although the reasons for their loss of beauty are different, but the result is the same, they are all unloved, even disgusted existences, connected to the same fate, but so!

"Yes, Qingru, my sister and I will help you, don't worry!" Ling Dao comforted beside him.

"Thank you for ......"

After a while, Xu Qingru finally stopped her tears, put away her crying, left Ling Xuan's arms, wiped her tears, and thanked them with rain.

"Qingru, where do you live, we will send you back, and by the way, help you see your grandfather's condition. Ling Dao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and finally quieted down.

"Thanks, come with me. ”

Xu Qingru knew that ten yuan stones could not cure her grandfather's body, and now that the two Ling Dao sisters and brothers were willing to help her, of course she would not refuse, she and her grandfather were already on the verge of despair, but there was a glimmer of hope that she also wanted to grasp!

Qibao Pavilion is located in the southeast of Qingyu City, not far from Qingyu Restaurant, and Xu Qingru's family also lives here, but it is close to the edge of the city wall, which belongs to the poor area of martial artists, which looks bleak and depressed, and does not have the prosperity of the city center. Of course, this is a relatively busy area, in fact, it is not bad, but there are no large shops.

"This is my home!"

Xu Qingru took them into a small courtyard, the courtyard was a little dilapidated and empty, except for three rooms, there was nothing else superfluous, obviously her grandfather's illness had dragged down their family and made this home more desolate.

"Are your parents home?"

Ling Dao looked at the small courtyard and retracted his gaze, since they met Xu Qingru, she had not mentioned her parents, which made him have some guesses in his heart, and seeing that he was about to enter her house, he finally couldn't help but ask.

"I don't have parents, my grandfather said that my parents died when I was very young!" Xu Qingru pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said with a little loss.

"I'm sorry!"

Ling Dao sighed in his heart.

"It's okay, I'm used to it!" Xu Qingru smiled reluctantly.

"Ahem...... Is Xiaoru back?"

Suddenly, an old voice came from the room on the left, apparently they were talking in front of the door, so that the old man could hear the movement.

"It's my grandfather, Xiaoru is back!"

"Let's go in!" Xu Qingru responded to the old man, nodded to the two, and immediately pushed open the door and walked in.

Ling Dao and the two followed.

The room was very simple, like her family yard, with only a few items in a ten-square-meter room, a bed on which lay an old man with gray hair, who was looking at them and coughing twice occasionally, a table, three stools, a wardrobe, and a bookshelf.

"Grandpa, I brought two friends to see you!" Xu Qingru walked a few steps quickly to the bed, grabbed the old man's hand, and introduced to the old man.

"Ahem...... Xiaoru, these two are ......"

The old man coughed, glanced at Ling Dao and the two, and a flash of divine light flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he was not noticed by anyone, and asked suspiciously.

"They are Ling Dao and Ling Xuan, two friends I met in Qibao Pavilion, ...... today" Xu Qingru then told the old man what happened in Qibao Pavilion.

"Ahem...... Liu Dongqiang is deliberately making things difficult for you, once his grandfather made a few orders of business that made him red-eyed, and he also robbed his business, he held a grudge!" After hearing this, the old man coughed again, this sound was obviously angered by Liu Dongqiang.

"I just said I won't let you go, you have to go, hey......"

The old man sighed, then turned his head to look at Ling Dao, smiled reluctantly, and thanked: "Young man, thank you for helping my family Xiaoru!"

"The old man is welcome!"

Ling Dao smiled, took a few steps forward to the bed, and said politely to the old man, "Old man, is it convenient for me to show you?"

"Are you an alchemist?" the old man said in surprise.

"Hehe, I've just started, and now I'm a first-grade alchemist!" Ling Dao grinned and said with some embarrassment.

There is no profession of doctor in the Yuan Shi Continent, but there is the title of doctor, and the doctor is generally an alchemist, and the alchemist can refine the pill according to the patient's various conditions, even if it is a doctor among mortals, but they generally do not have the opportunity to enter a higher grade, so they go to the mortals and become masters, and some mortal doctors are also some alchemists who have learned the fur, but it is enough to treat mortals.

The old man told at a glance that he was an alchemist, and he was not surprised.

"Look at your age, you are only sixteen or seventeen years old, Na Yuanjing, you are still a first-grade alchemist, you are a little Tianjiao!" the old man sighed.
