A small courtyard in the corner of Bluestone Town

In the dilapidated yard, there are no more than two low loess houses.

Ah Niu pushed open the courtyard door and led Huang Lian in.

The yard was clean and tidy, there was not a single weed, and although it was poor, there were signs of someone cleaning it regularly.

Ah Niu cautiously pushed open the old wooden door, only to see a call coming from the room in the house: "Ah Niu~ Are you back?" ”

"It's me, Mom." Ah Niu responded, turning his head to look at Huang Lian, with a request in his eyes and a hint of worry.

Huang Lian nodded, put the half piece of wood on his shoulder behind the door, and entered the inner door with Ah Niu.

Before entering the door, a pungent smell of herbs came from the surface, and Huang Lian couldn't help frowning, but he didn't say anything.

In a small room, a wooden chair, a wooden bed, and other than that, it is difficult to find other furniture.

A small square window opened in the wall, and the sunlight shone in, barely brightening the environment inside the room.

The white-haired old Ji was lying on the bed, her eye sockets were deeply sunken, and the layers of wrinkles were stacked on top of each other, and she was indescribably old.

Huang Lian frowned and pondered, no matter how you look at this old Ji, she doesn't look like Ah Niu's mother, even if she is twenty-nine years old, her mother will not be so quick to enter the earth, and Lao Ji still seems to be blind.

Huang Lian stood quietly in the corner, watching the scene of the reunion of mother and son.

Ah Niu's eyes were swirling with tears, he knelt on the ground, and slowly helped his mother up: "Mom, slow down." ”

Lao Ji groped his hand, leaned forward, and grabbed the back of Ah Niu's hand for a while: "Daughter~ Mom is fine, who is standing at the door?" ”

"Daughter?" Huang Lian was shocked in his heart, and looked Ah Niu up and down.

Ah Niu also had red ears and a slight low head: "Mom~ He is my friend, and he is here to treat you." ”

"Is he a doctor? Daughter~ Don't spend this unjust money for your mother anymore, your mother is not worth it, you will marry someone in the future! The money is all spent, so what can be done? ”

Lao Ji said bitterly, and kept patting the back of Ah Niu's hand.

"Doctor, let's go! Old woman, I'm not sick! ”

The old Ji waved her hand, apparently not wanting Ah Niu to worry.

"Mom! Brother Huang, he's my friend! Not a doctor! Ah Niu reassured.

"Oh! It's a friend of Ah Niu~ The old woman is so confused! Cough! Cough! ”

Old Ji smiled, and suddenly coughed violently, and faintly blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Mom, don't say it! The body can't bear it! Ah Niu hurriedly stroked Lao Ji's back, which eased a little.

Mu Ran suddenly a green light enveloped Lao Ji's whole body, Ah Niu turned his head to look at it curiously, only to see that Huang Lian didn't know when to take out the Xuanteng Ancient Ring from his pocket and put it on his index finger, and use the healing power of the Xuanteng Ancient Ring to heal Lao Ji.

The green light lasted for ten seconds and then dissipated, and the old Ji, who was originally so weak that she turned ruddy, and even the wrinkles on her face faded a little, as if she was rejuvenated.

Ah Niu was so excited that he clenched Lao Ji's hands: "Mom! How do you feel?! Is it better! ”

"Ah Niu~ Is your friend an immortal, why do you suddenly feel so much more comfortable." Lao Ji's face was pleasantly surprised, and her eyebrows furrowed.

Poof! Poof!

The sound of the heart beating, Huang Lian walked with the heart of the tree, and under the gaze of Ah Niude, the heart of the tree was attached to Lao Ji's abdomen, which was so powerful that the vitality was infused, and the heart of the tree gradually integrated into the body, and a layer of emerald green came out of Lao Ji's abdomen, and slowly moved towards the heart.

Poof!

The heart of the tree replaced Lao Ji's original heart and began to function, and the heartbeat that shook the eardrum was endless.

"Thank you! Thank you so much! Brother Huang! Ah Niu knelt at Huang Lian's feet, tugging hard at the corner of his clothes, her eyes full of excited tears.

"Ah Niu! You go out first, I have something to say to Mr. Huang! Lao Ji suddenly reached out and touched Ah Niu's head, and told her to leave the room.

"Good!"

The dilapidated wooden door was gently closed, and because of his mother's recovery, Ah Niu was in a very good mood and agreed in one bite.

"Mr. Huang! How's my illness doing? ”

Lao Ji faced the ceiling, but there was no joy on her face to recover from a serious illness.

"You know it yourself, I know it too, Ah Niu should also know that you are not sick!" Huang Lian didn't say it directly, and turned his head to look at Ah Niu jumping in the yard outside the window.

"Yes~ That kid is just too stubborn! She just doesn't want to believe the facts, my "disease" can't be cured~! ”

Lao Ji's face did not fluctuate in the slightest, and it seemed that he had already recognized the reality.

"Mr. Huang, how long can I live with this old bone?" Lao Ji asked again.

"Less than a month." Sonorous and powerful, but it makes people grit their teeth helplessly.

"Please also ask Mr. Huang not to tell Ah Niu." Lao Ji's face was like ashes, although he knew that he was dying, but it was still a little difficult to accept the exact death in the world.

"Hmm~" Huang Lian nodded in response.

"Thank you, Mr. Huang." Lao Ji seemed to regain some strength, leaning against the back of the bed and leaning slightly over.

Huang Lian turned to leave the house, and at the last moment he closed the wooden door, he shook his head.

Countless breaths of life flowed out of Lao Ji's body, gradually dissolving into the air like snowflakes entering the sea, while the black dead breath lingered around her.

She is seriously ill, and it is clear that her longevity has arrived, and she has a destiny.

If it weren't for Huang Lian infused with the heart of the tree, I am afraid that Lao Ji would not be able to survive for three days, and he would have to transfer to reincarnation and drink the Meng Po soup on the Nai He Bridge.

Looking at Ah Niu, who was laughing heartily in the courtyard, he suddenly felt a little distressed, not because he learned that she was a daughter, but because he felt sad as her friend.

This life and death is really out of control.

He looked at the sky, wondering if there was a so-called "immortal" in this sky, and whether this so-called "immortal" was really immortal?

Night falls.

At Ah Niu's pleading, Huang Lian finished her meal in her house and slept in another room in the courtyard.

The two are dozens of steps apart, not very far, but not close either.

He read the woman's thoughts, but he had no intention of leaving, nor did he have the slightest resentment.

The moment he nodded in agreement, he was destined to have something to do with the woman.

Ah Niu fed his mother dinner, washed the dishes and chopsticks, and cleaned up everything in the house.

The night is as cool as water, and the small courtyard far from the center of Bluestone Town is even quieter and scary.

The moonlight sprinkled on the forest seemed to be coated with a layer of silver paint, which was beautiful.

The shadows of the trees are swaying, and the story of the night is endless.

In the midst of the dense trees, the sound of the rushing water of the creek broke the silence of the surroundings.

Ah Niu washed off the makeup on his face and quietly looked at the reflection in the river.

She reached out and stroked the water, as if touching her face: "I almost forgot that I look like this." ”

She smiled, gently shook the stream from her fingertips, turned to leave, and pushed open the door of Huang Lian's house.
