Chapter 67: The Return to the Li Mansion (I)
After being busy in the secret room for more than two hours, Luo Qing had already refined all the pills he needed, and when Luo Qing walked out of the secret room, night had already fallen.
Luo Qing originally planned to have someone send the pill to the Li Mansion, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to go by himself.
After talking to the third girl, Luo Qing went out alone, this time Luo Qing was no longer wearing night clothes, but was dressed as usual, and then went directly to the Li Mansion.
Walking down the street tonight, I feel a little different, maybe because I see hope, so people are no longer so self-defeating.
The lights could be faintly seen flickering in some houses on the streets, and the groans of pain and grumbling against God were no longer heard in the corners of the alleys.
This feeling makes Luo Qing feel very good, although the huge city still seems empty, but it no longer makes people feel lifeless.
Walking on the street, turning around, after turning more than ten corners, Luo Qing finally came to the door of the Li Mansion.
After a knock on the door, an old man who looked to be in his fifties came out, Luo Qing sensed it and found that the old man was a strong man in the Spirit Attraction Realm.
The old man looked at Luo Qing, who was neatly dressed, and asked, "Little brother, may I ask who you are?"
"Old man, I'm here to deliver medicine, your old family owner and his wife know about this, please spread the word. Luo Qing replied in a very polite tone.
"Oh... Then there is no need to pass it on, the old family owner and the old lady have explained this matter, and I will take you in. The old man said respectfully.
Walking on the winding path, Luo Qing couldn't help but wonder curiously about the old man and asked: "Old man, seeing that your cultivation is also quite high, why do you let you do this gatekeeper work, isn't there a lower cultivation in the Li Mansion?"
"Originally, there were people doing these jobs, this is not a plague, their cultivation is low, they all went out of the city to take refuge, old man, I am used to following the old master's side, so I stayed to take care of them. The old man said.
Hearing this, Luo Qing was a little surprised and asked, "Have you been following the old master?"
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, I was sold to the Li family since I was a child, and then I was favored by the old family master, so I have been the old family master's follower, and then the old family master taught me to practice, and when I grew up, the old family master took charge of the house, so I made me a housekeeper." ”
"So, you haven't left the Li family all these years?" Luo Qing was shocked again, he didn't expect the old man to be such a loyal person.
The old man said: "Yes, I haven't left the Li family for decades, and then more than ten years ago, something happened in the Li Mansion, and the old master gave up his seat within a few years, because the eldest young master was ill, so the third young master took over the position of the head of the family, and the third young master still let me be the housekeeper." ”
Luo Qing smiled and said, "You are so loyal to the Li family, if it were me, I would definitely let you continue to be this housekeeper." ”
The old man also smiled and said, "The old master and his wife have never treated me as an outsider, so I will naturally be loyal to the Li family and the old family master." ”
Speaking of this, the old man specifically referred to the old family master's lineage, which meant that Luo Qing naturally understood, it was nothing more than that the Li family's lineages were not as harmonious as they seemed on the surface, but he didn't seem to have too much in-depth understanding.
"By the way, old man, did you just say that something happened in the Li family more than ten years ago?" Luo Qing suddenly changed his words and turned the topic to the incident more than ten years ago mentioned by the old man.
"This was many years ago, and it has always been a knot in the hearts of the old family and his wife. The old man pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is related to the second miss, and it is really inconvenient for the old man to talk about it, please forgive me!"
"It's okay, old man, it's me who said too much!" Luo Qing said with a guilty face, in fact, it is really difficult to inquire about the privacy of some mansions as an outsider.
"By the way, little brother, where are you from? You don't look much like a Yongcheng person. The old man asked suddenly.
"Old man, you're right, you're not from Yongcheng, and this time you were ordered by the master to deliver medicine to your mansion. Luo Qing smiled and said, "Seeing that your mansion is so big, it must have a lot of status in Yongcheng, right?"
"Little brother is discerning, the Li family does have a transcendent status in Yongcheng, but it is not as good as before. The old man sighed.
"How do you say this, could it be that the Li family has suffered any great difficulties?" Luo Qing asked puzzled.
The old man said: "That's not true, it's just that after the incident of the second lady more than ten years ago, the old family owner's line was squeezed out, and many industries were taken away by other lines, and most of the industries that were taken away were not well managed and withered, and the Li family gradually declined." ”
"Then if those industries return to the hands of the old family again, will the Li family return to its former glory?" Luo Qing looked at the old man and smiled.
The old man smiled and said, "The third young master is talented, and there is an old master in charge, if those industries can be returned to the hands of the third young master, the Li family will definitely be able to restore its former glory." ”
Hearing this, Luo Qing smiled, he felt that he should know what to do.
The two talked and talked, and then came to Luo Qing's grandparents' room.
"Master, old woman, the little brother who delivered the medicine is here. The old man looked at the door, and then said respectfully.
When the two old men in the room heard this, they quickly looked at the door and came out, and the old woman said excitedly: "Child, you are here!"
"Well, I'm here, I said I'd send medicine, now take me to the doctor!" Luo Qing pretended to say it very plainly, and there was no joy on his face at all, but in fact, he felt happy to see the two old men again.
"Okay, let's go, let's take you there together. The old woman spoke, her face still couldn't hide her excitement, and then she took Luo Qing's hand and was about to leave.
Luo Qing couldn't help but shrink his hand, and said embarrassedly: "I'm not used to being pulled. ”
Luo Qing's actions made the old woman feel a sense of repulsion, but the old woman still forced a smile, but she must be uncomfortable in her heart.
The atmosphere was suddenly a little weird, in fact, Luo Qing was just subconsciously moving, and he was suddenly pulled by a person who had a blood connection, but was very strange, he was really not used to it.
After going out for two corners, they arrived at Luo Qing's big uncle's small courtyard, and several people walked into the room, Luo Qing looked at the eldest uncle he had never met, his brows were furrowed, and he could already see that he was very sick from the color of his skin.
Luo Qing didn't say a word, the powerful spiritual power directly unfolded, penetrating deep into his uncle's body, Luo Qing found that his uncle was not only very seriously injured, but also the plague in his place was much weirder than that of ordinary cultivators.
Recovering his spiritual power, Luo Qing gave his uncle the refined plague pill, and prepared to use the fire of the stars to slowly assist him in refining the pill.
It's just that after Luo Qing wrapped a trace of the fire of the stars with his spiritual power and sent it into his uncle's body, Luo Qing obviously felt that there was a power in his uncle's body that was confronting the fire of the stars, and this power came from the demonic energy in the plague.
Luo Qing felt that this demonic qi was far more powerful than the demonic qi in the ordinary human body, and it looked more like a source, Luo Qing finally found it, and it turned out that the source of the plague was here.
"Why is the source of this plague on you, have you come into contact with any strange people?" Luo Qing suddenly asked at this time.
Hearing this, the old couple next to them were also shocked, if it wasn't for Luo Qing to say it, they wouldn't have known at all, they didn't expect that this plague would spread from their son.
"Forget it, you can't speak, I'll help you expel the source of the disease from your body first, and then you can explain!" Luo Qing said, and then increased the fire of the stars and quickly refined the plague pill.
Soon the medicinal power of the dispel pill began to work, and under the effect of the medicinal power of the dispel pill, the plague gradually faded, and Luo Qing's uncle's face gradually regained some blood.
Perhaps it was because the Demon Purifying Grass began to work, and suddenly a cloud of black qi burst out of his uncle's body and floated above the room.
"Hmph, it's you monsters again. Luo Qing roared, a touch of fierceness was released from the corner of his eye, and then with a flick of his middle finger, a touch of star fire immediately wrapped the black gas away, and under the purifying power of the star fire, the black gas turned into nothing.
"You said that the black thing just now was a monster?" At this time, the old man was shocked, with his cultivation, he had naturally heard of such a thing, so as soon as Luo Qing said it, he was shocked.
"Hmm. Luo Qing nodded, and then said: "I don't know who planted the source of the plague on him, and he will have to ask again when he wakes up." ”
A few people sat in the room, waiting quietly, the atmosphere in the room was very strange, the old woman kept looking at Luo Qing without squinting, being looked at like this, making Luo Qing feel very uncomfortable.
After a long while, the old woman said, "Son, can you tell us your name?"
"Luo Qing. Luo Qing seemed to be very stingy with words, and his answer was very simple.
The simple two words made the two old men's hearts tingle a little, but the old woman still smiled reluctantly and said, "Luo Qing, cyan is Meng'er's favorite color, no wonder you call this name." ”
Hearing this, the housekeeper was surprised: "Old lady, do you mean that this little brother is the young master?
The two old men nodded in agreement.
"Yes, no wonder he looks so similar to the second miss. The old butler muttered.
"Child, can you call me grandma?" the old woman looked at Luo Qing with a loving gaze.
This kind of gaze, in Luo Qing's eyes, was more like a pray, which made Luo Qing feel an inexplicable sting in his heart.
He really wanted to call 'grandma', but he held back for the time being, and pretended to be indifferent and said: "Stop, I said it, I won't recognize you until my mother recognizes my ancestors and returns to my ancestors, I just was entrusted by my mother to treat him." ”
Luo Qing's words pierced the heart of the second elder again, and at this time, even the housekeeper couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Young Master Cousin, you can't be like this, no matter how you say that this blood and family affection are there, besides, you can't blame the old master for what happened back then!"
"Needless to say, I'm not going to change my mind. Luo Qing took a deep breath and said: "When my Luo family declined, my mother suffered a lot of white eyes in the Luo family but did not have the support of my mother's family, but fortunately, my parents are loving, and my father has always cared for my mother." ”
"Now that the Luo family is prosperous, my mother has me and my brother again, to be honest, sometimes I even think that it doesn't matter if I have your relatives or not, because my brother and I are now her dependent. ”
"You said you have a younger brother?" Hearing the news, the two old men became even more excited.
"Yes, I have a younger brother who is not yet a year old. Luo Qing said, but he was still reluctant to use a few more words.
"Child, don't worry, soon, we will definitely let your mother recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, your mother has paid too much back then, and the Li family is sorry for her. The old woman said with tears in her eyes.
Luo Qing smiled and said: "That's your Li family's business, I can't control this kind of thing, but I want to say, who came up with the idea back then, and who else echoed it, then let them personally invite my mother back, otherwise I will definitely not let my mother come back." ”
"This..."The two elders were a little embarrassed, but they still responded: "Don't worry, we will definitely give your mother justice." ”
Just then, the patient woke up.
