Outside Winter City, the Divine Doctor Villa.

The warm evening sun shone on a ten-year-old boy, and his beautiful eyebrows and eyes and handsome face were gilded with a layer of gold by the warm red sun.

But the young man's expression was solemn, and he even had the momentum of looking at death as if he were at home.

"Mu Linggu, I'll give you another chance, what about my ginseng?"

"Feed the chickens."

"Okay, what about the chickens?"

"It's stewed, the one everyone ate last night."

"You ......"

Probably angry and irrational, Shen Yan turned around and went to get the broom in the corner of the yard, but before the broom fell on the young man, he was caught by a slender hand.

"Okay, isn't it just a ginseng? As for your son, do you want to beat your son? ”

Mu Jinchen usually doesn't participate in the affairs of other people's mothers and sons, because even if Xiao Gu makes a big disaster, her mother will not punish him like this.

"Isn't it just a ginseng? Mu Jinchen, do you know? That's a 3,000-year-old mountain ginseng, that's what I want to give my mother a medicine for, so let him, a little rabbit, get it for me. ”

Shen Yan is really angry, after her conditioning over the years, the old lady's condition has improved a lot, if she adds such a hard-to-find old ginseng, the mother concubine will have no problem living for at least another ten years.

It was also at this time that the old lady, who was flushed and rich, was helped into this courtyard by the girl.

"Who's going to beat my grandson? What if I live a few more years and a few less years? Isn't it just a ginseng, feed the chicken, feed the chicken, don't everyone eat the stewed chicken, Yan'er, don't embarrass my grandson. ”

The old lady smiled and threatened Shen Yan as she walked to Mu Linggu's side, pulling Xiao Gu's arm and about to leave here.

"Dad and grandma are partial to my brother, mother, just me and you, brother, it's really undisciplined."

Before the old lady could take Mu Linggu away, from the tree in the yard, a little girl of five or six years old jumped down, with a pair of big eyes as if she could talk, as soon as she came down from the tree, she hugged Shen Yan's arm, and smiled flatteringly.

"Mother, I know where my brother got the ginseng, as long as my mother promises me......"

Before the little girl could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Mu Linggu's sharp voice.

"Mu Lingxi, if you dare to betray me, you will never think that I will take you out to play again."

"Ah, mother, you see, my brother will threaten people, besides, when will I let you take me out to play secretly, don't slander people casually."

"You ......"

Seeing the brother and sister arguing, Mu Jinchen felt a headache, he looked at Shen Yan helplessly, and yesterday he said that he would fill in a younger brother or sister with Shen Yan for the two brothers and sisters, and now it seems that it is better to have fewer children.

"Alright, you both shut up for me." Shen Yan took a few deep breaths, and then said: "Mother, it's cold, go back and rest, don't worry, how can I beat your grandson." After speaking, he glanced at the girl beside the old lady.

The girl understood, persuaded a few words, and the old lady didn't say anything, shook her head, and left.

Finally sent the old lady away, and Shen Yan looked at the little daughter who was still holding his arm.

"Mu Lingxi, you are really capable, dare to talk to your mother about the conditions? Hmph, you're still too tender. I said Lord Mu, shouldn't you also discipline and discipline your precious daughter, this girl doesn't seem to even be able to memorize the three-character scripture until now. ”

"Uh, yes, it's me who didn't teach my father well, Lingxi, let's go, let's go to your Uncle Qilin, what he said in the three-character scripture is good."

After so many years of husband and wife, Mu Jinchen naturally knew what Shen Yan was going to do, and as for him, an immature girl, he could only go with the flow.

Although Mu Lingxi was very reluctant, she still followed her father with interest.

Finally, only Shen Yan and Mu Linggu, mother and son, were left in this small courtyard.

"Tell me, where did the ginseng go?"

So many people gave her this interruption, and Shen Yan's anger disappeared by half, in fact, she didn't feel sorry for the ginseng, she just didn't want to watch her child lie to herself.

Mu Linggu lowered his head, the two sword eyebrows were slightly wrinkled together, and Shen Yan could see that the child was hesitating to tell the truth.

"What kind of person is your mother, you know it, you are ten years old this year, your father has already gone up the mountain with the master to learn art at your age, and he has been used as an adult, you say how you are still like a child, what you do, you don't dare to admit it, if you tell your mother, you take ginseng to save people, your mother will definitely not scold you."

"I, I'm just using ginseng to save people, I ......"

"Oh, you're finally willing to say it, aren't you?"

Shen Yan knew that Xiao Gu was usually playful, but he still had a judgment on the major rights and wrongs, but the old ginseng was too strong in medicine, and if it was not used well, it might backfire, and even she had to be very cautious in using this extremely precious medicinal material, not to mention his son, who had not yet learned to become a teacher.

"I, I took the spirit rhino to play in the forest yesterday, and on the way back I met a little girl with her sick sister, the little girl was so pitiful, she hadn't eaten for many days, and she had to go to the city to beg for food for her sister, and the important thing was that her sister was about to die, and she had only one breath left to hang there. My mother said that the doctor is benevolent, as long as he has the ability, he can't see death without saving, I think ginseng can continue life, so I ......"

"So, you sneaked to my pharmacy and got the biggest one?"

"Well, mother, the sisters are really pitiful, if the sister dies, there will be Xiaoruo herself, she is already an orphan, she can't live without her sister anymore."

"Okay, you want to save people, this heart is good, but do you know that if you take that whole ginseng, it is likely to kill the child, remember, when you encounter this kind of thing, the first thing you think about is not what you want to do, but you want to come back to your mother, you know?"

Shen Yan is also very pleased that the child has this kindness, but the top priority is to go and see it in person, don't let Xiao Gu really do bad things with good intentions.

"Go, go to the house and bring the medicine box to my mother, and I'll take a look with you."

"Really? Mother, do you really want to visit the doctor in person? ”

"What? Is it strange for me to be on a home call? ”

As soon as Mu Linggu heard this, he was happy at the moment, if his mother could go and take a look, maybe Xiaoruo's sister would be fine, and Xiaoruo would not cry so sadly.

This is even happier than getting a few thousand taels of silver during the New Year.

Happily carrying the medicine box, Mu Linggu took Shen Yan out of the gate of the Divine Medicine Villa.

He agreed with Xiao Ruo that he would go to see her tonight, bring them food and use, he was even afraid that Xiao Ruo would think that he would not come, and left the most important piece of white jade pendant on his body to her as a token.

However, when he pushed open the door of a ruined temple and walked in, he was completely stunned.

The ruined temple was empty, and there was not even a trace of anyone who had slept with it.

"They, where have they gone? They, will they be in danger? ”

Shen Yan was very reluctant to help Xiao Gu analyze the current situation, because there was an 80% chance that his son had been deceived.

"Son, is the ginseng you brought yesterday intact or have you boiled it into medicine?"

"I, I came out in a hurry, and I was afraid that you would find out, so I gave it to Xiaoru and let her survive by herself."

"Then, is it you who proposes ginseng to save lives, or is it that little one?"

“……”

Facing his mother's questioning, for a while, Mu Linggu was silent, and he couldn't say a word.

Her eyes were so bright, and although her face was dirty, the sincerity on her face did not look like a fake.

But why, why did she leave, the two of them clearly said that she would wait for him to come again, is people's hearts so unpredictable?

Looking at the broken Buddha statue and looking at this place with brief memories, Mu Linggu finally held back all his tears.

"Mother, don't worry, I will never be deceived again in the future."

……

Twelve years later.

A team of fast horses set off from Jiuzhi Mountain, stepped on the glacier, braved the wind and snow to cross the Hanjiang ferry overnight, and arrived at the imperial city in just three days.

It is rumored in the capital that this is the little prince Mu Linggu has returned, it seems that the thief who stole the phoenix crown of the queen mother will not be able to get away with it for a few days.
