Chapter 281: Zhong Ming and his daughter
"My lord, after the street in front, it is the Rock Street, and you will have to walk for a while at the end of the Rock Street." Ning Xiang was two steps ahead of Xu Fei and Li Qingyao, and introduced in front. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was very strong, but Ning Xiang felt that she was not hot at all.
"Well, thank you, Ning Xiang." Xu Fei still thanked Ning Xiang very politely.
"My lord, what are you doing here?" Ning Xiang didn't hold back in the end, and asked Xu Fei. No way, the stubborn stone street is still relatively famous in Jinhongcheng, because there are several stone carving masters here, so the whole street likes to play stone carving, which is also the origin of the name stubborn stone street, as for why it is stubborn instead of playing, it is worth pondering.
"Find someone, he lives at the end of the rocky street." Xu Fei didn't hide anything, this kind of small thing is not worth Xu Fei's lies.
"Oh." Ning Xiang replied and stopped talking, she still had a degree, and she would not ask Xu Fei for the bottom of the matter.
How so..... The painting style of the stubborn stone street is completely different from other streets, almost every house here will have one or two delicate stone carvings outside the door, and there are many stalls on both sides of the street, and the stalls are placed with all kinds of stone carvings, just looking at the appearance, they are still passable.
"I said, there are a lot of people here who can carve stone carvings, if we can't find that guy named Zhong Ming, let's let someone else carve them." Seeing the scene of the stubborn stone street, Xu Fei felt very relaxed, on the way here, he was really a little worried, if Zhong Ming was not at home, who would he ask to do the stone carving? Well, now, even if that guy is not at home, there are so many stone carvings in the entire Stubborn Stone Street, and it shouldn't be a big problem to find someone whose skills are not inferior to his.
Booshi Street is a long street, and it took Xu Fei and a few people more than 20 minutes to walk from the street to the end of the street. Looking at the street entrance in front of him, Xu Fei stopped, found a stall and walked over.
"Yo, do you want to buy some stone carvings? It's right to come to me, don't look at me......." The boss sitting at the back of the stall kept looking at Xu Fei and a few people, and now when he saw them walking towards him, he was overjoyed, stood up and said to Xu Fei enthusiastically, no way, he hasn't opened it for a long time. However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xu Fei.
"Boss, may I ask, is there a stonemason named Zhong Ming here?"
“.......... Yes, yes, live there. The boss's face suddenly became ugly, but he still pointed in the direction to Xu Fei. In fact, this is also normal, this location is not good, the flow of people is very small, the stone carvings on his stall in the entire stubborn stone street, can only be regarded as medium, the two add up, the business of his stall can be imagined. Now seeing that Xu Fei and the three of them are not here to buy things, it is strange that he will give a good face.
"You ........." Ning Xiang raised his eyebrows, and he was about to get angry, but he knew Xu Fei's identity, how could he allow the stall owner to be disrespectful?
"Thanks, boss." Xu Fei didn't think much about it, although the attitude of the stall owner changed a little, but after all, he still showed them the way, so he still thanked them.
"My lord...."Ning Xiang looked at Xu Fei in disbelief, completely unexpectedly that Xu Fei actually had this attitude.
"What's wrong?" Xu Fei had already turned around and walked a few steps, and when he heard Ning Xiang's voice, he turned around and asked.
"No.... It's nothing. Ning Xiang quickly shook her head.
“......... It's weird. Xu Fei looked at Ning Xiang strangely, and seeing that she didn't seem to have anything to do, he muttered in a low voice, turned around, walked a few steps quickly, and caught up with Li Qingyao in front.
..........................
"This is it, right?" Xu Fei looked at the façade in front of him and scratched his head, a little unsure of what to do. Mainly because this façade is different from what he imagined, the stonemason named Zhong Ming, since he can carve such vivid stone carvings, how can he not be poor enough to live in such a place. But there seems to be only one place around the people, and in his senses, there are indeed two breaths of life in the room.
"Knock knock knock .....," Xu Fei stretched out his hand and knocked on the door that looked a little tattered.
It didn't take long for the door to open.
"Who..... It's you? A middle-aged man opened the door, his blue clothes had been washed and turned a little white, and he was stunned when he saw Xu Fei and a few others.
"Huh? It's you. Xu Fei was also a little surprised, he didn't use his spiritual power to detect the situation in the house, he just sensed it, so he only knew that there were two people inside, but he didn't know who these two people were. It wasn't until the door opened that Xu Fei realized that the person who opened the door was actually the person who showed him the way on the day he and Li Qingyao first arrived in Jinhongcheng.
"Are you Master Zhong Ming?" Xu Fei settled down, although there were some coincidences, he could still accept it.
"The master doesn't dare to be a master, he just likes stone carving." Zhong Ming waved his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Oh, then let's see if you carved this one." Xu Fei took out the stone sculpture of the eagle flapping its wings from the bag and handed it to Zhong Ming.
"Huh? Isn't this the stone sculpture I sold to Cimu Pavilion the other day? Zhong Ming took it and looked at it a few times, then turned the stone carving over, and sure enough, he found the mark that he would definitely leave when he carved the stone carving.
"Hehe, we did buy it from Cimu Pavilion. We are very impressed by your carving skills, so I would like to ask you to help me carve something. Xu Fei nodded and said straight to the point.
"This ..... I'm afraid not. A hint of intent flashed on Zhong Ming's face, but after hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and refused.
"Is it a matter of worrying about money? You can rest assured, only can we be satisfied, money is a trivial matter, we can pay a part of the deposit first, what do you think? Although Xu Fei thought that most of it would not be a problem with money, he still said so first. Because of this, Zhong Ming can take the initiative to speak out about his difficulties. If it were someone else, Xu Fei might look at the mood, if he was in a good mood, he would help, and if he was in a bad mood, he would turn around and leave. But he still has a good impression of this Zhong Ming, at least the first impression is very good, so he plans to help him.
"No, it's that I don't have time." Zhong Ming smiled bitterly, if he could make money, he would definitely not refuse, but he still had to take care of his seriously ill daughter, so he couldn't spare time to carve at all, and it took him more than a month to barely complete the previous eagle with the size of the eagle flapping its wings.
"Oh? Are you having any difficulties? Well, you tell me about it, and I'll help you solve it, but accordingly, you're going to give us free engraving what we want. Xu Fei nodded quietly, what he was waiting for was now.
“........ Well, sir, you may be rich, but my problems cannot be solved with money. Zhong Ming hesitated, but still sighed.
"Coincidentally, I don't just have money, you can tell me, what if I can really help?" Xu Fei replied with a smile.
"This ...... Sir, are you really willing to help me? Zhong Ming looked at Xu Fei's sincere eyes and asked with some excitement.
"If the adults say they will help you, they will definitely help you, why are you so verbose?" Ning Xiang can't see it, and thinks that this uncle in front of him is a really special inkblot, is it possible that adults will lie to you? What do you have to deceive him?
"Yes, yes, I'll say it now." Zhong Ming nodded gratefully and slowly said his question.
........................
In fact, Zhong Ming's family affairs are not a secret in the entire Stubborn Rock Street. This goods is thirty-eight years old today, he got married at the age of twenty, but his daughter-in-law had an accident when she gave birth to a child, and died of dystocia, but the child was successfully born, but because of congenital deficiency and acquired malnutrition, the body gradually lost consciousness.
Until ten years ago, Zhong Ming's daughter was completely incapacitated. Now, it's even so serious that I can only be awake for an hour or two a day. To be honest, Zhong Ming has been very interested in stone carving since he was a child, and his talent is also very good.
But later, in order to take care of his daughter, there was a lack of time contact, and although his skills did not decline, he has been standing still. And the cost of treating his daughter has also put this originally relatively prosperous family into the current situation. Zhong Ming only occasionally took some time to carve something and exchange it for money to buy life-sustaining medicine for his daughter, and he came here for his own livelihood.
"So, that means, just heal your daughter?" After listening to Zhong Ming's words, Xu Fei nodded, and then asked. In terms of carved stone carvings, Zhong Ming's skills are also top-notch in the entire stubborn stone street, and as long as Zhong Ming's daughter is cured, then all the problems can be solved.
"Can you heal my daughter?" Zhong Ming looked at Xu Fei expectantly.
"You should let me see what your daughter is like now." Xu Fei rolled his eyes, he was indeed powerful, but he didn't even know the cause, how to prescribe the right medicine?
"What do you mean.... You heal my daughter with your own hands? "To be reasonable, Zhong Ming thought that Xu Fei paid for him to take his daughter to visit a famous doctor, but from what Xu Fei revealed just now.... Zhong Ming felt that he must have misunderstood.
"What? Isn't it like? Xu Fei looked down at his dress, as if it didn't look like it.
"This ......... All right, sir, you guys come in first. Zhong Ming looked at Xu Fei's appearance, it really didn't look like he was lying to him, there was no way, he had to get out of the way and welcome Xu Fei and the three of them in.
......................
This is a small room, Xu Fei roughly estimated, it is almost twenty square meters, but the inside of the house is very clean, and the furnishings are relatively neat, from this point it can be seen that Zhong Ming is a person who loves cleanliness.
"Please wait here, and I'll take my husband in to see my daughter." Zhong Ming glanced at Xu Fei and Ning Xiang apologetically, then turned around and walked inside. Seriously, he doesn't have much hope now, thinking about how many famous doctors he took his daughter to see at the beginning, and he also used a lot of precious medicinal materials, but he only let his daughter continue to live, let alone cure the root cause, the symptoms can't be cured. And Xu Fei is so young, he doesn't look like a skilled doctor.
"Little Star, Little Star? When you wake up, Dad will find another doctor, and this time, he will definitely be able to cure you. Zhong Ming walked to the bed and called softly. Zhong Xiaoxing is now in a state of half-asleep and half-awake for twenty-four hours a day, awake for about two hours, and the rest in a deep sleep. However, these states have no rules to follow, which makes Zhong Ming particularly nerve-wracking.
Xu Fei's luck was good, Zhong Xiaoxing was now in a half-asleep state, Zhong Ming just called a few words softly, and let him wake up.
"Dad, I don't take medicine.... It's so bitter...."The girl with a sallow face and a little sunken cheeks said with a crying voice, this is a habit she has developed, every time Zhong Ming says these words to her, she will let her drink very bitter medicine.
"This ..... Xiaoxing, believe Dad, you will definitely get better this time. Zhong Ming looked at Xu Fei in embarrassment, a little at a loss.
"Let me take a look." Xu Fei walked over and patted Zhong Ming on the shoulder, motioning for him to get out of the way.
"Okay, please sir." Zhong Ming nodded, stood up and stepped back a little, letting Xu Fei stand on the edge of the bed.
"Little girl, don't worry, I won't let you take medicine, now, let's sleep for a while." Xu Fei's words carried a strong spiritual hint, this was something he learned from Mo Yu of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and with his ability, he used it to be extremely powerful.
"Well... I'm like... Sleepy... sleepy...."In one sentence, Zhong Xiaoxing was obviously in a deep state of sleep.
"First.... How did you do that, sir? Zhong Ming watched all this, he knew very well that Xu Fei was just saying a word, and he actually let his daughter fall asleep deeply, and in the twilight, he saw hope again, people with this ability will definitely not be ordinary people, maybe, his daughter can really be cured.
"You go out first, give me a quiet space." Xu Fei didn't answer, but asked Zhong Ming to leave the room.
"Okay, okay, I'll leave everything to you." Zhong Ming was not dissatisfied at all, nothing was more important than curing his daughter. Besides, he happened to go out to entertain the other two guests.
Seeing Zhong Ming go out, Xu Fei waved his hand, creating an enchantment that completely separated the room from the outside world. Then, he turned around, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently covered his hand on Zhong Xiaoxing's face, and with a movement of his mind, the docile spiritual power like a sheep flowed into Zhong Xiaoxing's body with Xu Fei's hand as the medium, and then, at a very fast speed, it dispersed in Zhong Xiaoxing's body, and it didn't take long for every corner of Zhong Xiaoxing's body to be filled with Xu Fei's spiritual power.
