Chapter VII Miscellaneous Hospitals
"Grandpa, I'm back. As soon as Lu Chen stepped into the Lu Family Medical Hall with one foot, he shouted eagerly.
"It's Lu Chen. Poor boy, you're finally back. ”
A voice came, and then Lu Chen saw a middle-aged and honest woman come out of the Lu Family Medical Hall, took her hand, and said with tears in her eyes: "Lu Chen, where have you been all these days? Your grandfather has been buried in the ground, and the old man is still talking about you when he leaves!"
"Boom. ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen's body trembled, his face turned pale, and he asked in a daze, "Aunt Wang, what did you just say?"
"Hey. The middle-aged honest woman is Aunt Wang, who lives next door to the Lujia Medical Center, who is honest and kind-hearted, she sighed heavily when she saw Lu Chen's appearance.
Seeing this, Lu Chen only felt that he felt as if he had been sucked away from the three souls and seven spirits, his eyes were black for a while, and he no longer knew what happened next.
"Poor child. Aunt Wang hurriedly stretched out her hand to support Lu Chen, but a shadow flashed from the side and took the first step to support Lu Chen.
"Is he Lu Chen?" Qianying held Lu Chen, looked at Aunt Wang and asked.
Aunt Wang wiped her tears while the chick nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Qianying stared carefully at the young man who fell in his arms, even if he fainted, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and said softly: "Aunt Wang, you go, I'll take care of him." ”
"Miss Lin, you are a good person, Lu Chen can meet you, it is a blessing from his previous life. With you to take care of him in the future, I will be relieved. After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she wiped a handful of tears before leaving.
Qianying's face was slightly red, but she didn't explain much. When Aunt Wang left, the girl's delicate body burst out with a power that did not match, and she picked up the fainted Lu Chen and walked towards the Lu Family Medical Hall.
On a wooden bed, Lu Chen woke up several times in the middle of the bed, and fainted again after screaming grandpa. Beside Lu Chen, a shadow always took care of him.
"Grandpa. I don't know how long it has passed, Lu Chen woke up again and called softly.
On the side of the wooden bed, a Qianying slowly raised her head, her eyes were full of tiredness, and when Qianying saw that Lu Chen did not faint again, she was secretly relieved.
"Lu Chen, Grandpa Lu has entrusted you to the Lin family, my name is Lin Jinxi, and I am the one who came to pick you up and go to the Lin family in Qinghe City. Lin Jinxi went straight to the point, and also deliberately wanted to distract Lu Chen's attention, so as not to let Lu Chen grieve too much after the loss of his relatives.
Lu Chen looked at it and saw a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old in front of him. The girl has a pair of dark willow eyebrows on her forehead, apricot eyes, a beautiful nose, and slightly red lips. The only fly in the ointment is that the girl's face is slightly pale, with a touch of vegetable yellow, and it seems that she has been malnourished for a long time.
Lu Chen's eyes were puzzled, and Lin Jinxi explained when he saw this: "Lu Chen, Grandpa Lu is kind to the Lin family in Qinghe City, and he wrote to the Lin family before he died, entrusting you to the Lin family. ”
"This is my home. Lu Chen shook his head, and said with a resolute expression: "I want to inherit my grandfather's medical skills and let the Lu Family Medical Center continue to open in the fairy spirit town." ”
Lin Jinxi was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Lu Chen to refuse, she remembered Grandpa Lu Chen's dying words, her apricot eyes lit up slightly, and said: "Lu Chen, Grandpa Lu said before he died that he was above the nine heavens, he didn't want to see you cry, he just wanted to see you happy." Grandpa Lu also hopes that you can become a powerful martial artist as soon as possible, and in the future, you will be strong and healthy, and you will live a long life, and you will not be burdened by the hardships of the world. ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen's firm gaze wavered, looked at Lin Jinxi, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Lin, is that really what my grandfather said?"
Lin Jinxi nodded.
Lu Chen clenched his fists, his grandfather's kind voice seemed to sound in his mind, and the scenes after stepping out of the Flying Dragon Secret Realm also flashed in front of him, and there was a yearning for the powerful martial artist in his heart.
"I, Lu Chen, will definitely become a powerful martial artist!" Lu Chen said as a vow in his heart, raising his head, as if he saw his grandfather showing a kind and relieved smile above the nine heavens.
Once the decision was made, Lu Chen did not hesitate, and said categorically: "Miss Lin, I am willing to go to the Lin family in Qinghe City with you." ”
Next, Lu Chen took down the signboard of the Lu Family Medical Center, said goodbye to Aunt Wang, and went to a beautiful place in the mountains behind Xianling Town under the leadership of Lin Jinxi.
A new grave is prominently located on the mountainside.
Staring at the new grave, Lu Chen's nose was sour, his throat was choked, and tears were rolling in his eyes, but he couldn't bear to let a tear fall.
After worshipping, Lu Chen resolutely got up and went to Lin's house in Qinghe City with Lin Jinxi.
Teenagers and girls gallop on horseback, sometimes galloping, sometimes slow. Along the way, Lin Jinxi briefly introduced some basic information about the Lin family in Qinghe City to Lu Chen, so that neither of them felt bored.
At noon, the boy and girl rode into the boundary of Qinghe City and rushed to Lin's house at noon.
Returning the horses, Lu Chen went to the Lin family's miscellaneous courtyard under the leadership of Lin Jinxi.
When he stepped into the miscellaneous courtyard, Lu Chen noticed that Lin Jinxi's face had changed slightly, as if he was a little scared and aggrieved, and at the same time, there was a look of determination in his apricot eyes.
Lu Chen was slightly surprised by Lin Jinxi's subtle changes.
Lin Jinxi mistakenly thought that Lu Chen was dissatisfied with entering the Lin family's miscellaneous service courtyard as soon as he came, and took the initiative to explain: "Lu Chen, the Lin family in Qinghe City is a martial arts family. In any martial arts family, everything is based on strength. Although your grandfather is kind to the Lin family, you are only a mortal yourself, so it is impossible for the Lin family to directly put you in a very important position. If you really do that, many people will be jealous and unconvinced, and even challenge you, and then you will be in danger. ”
Lu Chen nodded, not feeling aggrieved by entering the Lin family's miscellaneous courtyard. Although the Lin family is to repay the kindness of his grandfather, the Lin family is willing to accept himself, Lu Chen is already very satisfied, and he is a person who knows gratitude.
"Lu Chen, you wait for me here, I'll go and get your clothes, keys and waist tags. Lin Jinxi said.
Lu Chen thought for a while, called Lin Jinxi, and said, "Let's go with the two of us, I can recognize the road, I can't trouble you if there is anything in the future." ”
When Lin Jinxi heard this, he nodded slightly, and then led Lu Chen towards the right hand.
Walking through a courtyard full of flowers and plants, Lin Jinxi pointed ahead, turned his eyes to look at Lu Chen and said: "In front is the deacon's room in the miscellaneous courtyard, and the big and small things in the miscellaneous courtyard are all under the care of Deacon Jiang Hongjiang in the deacon's room. Lu Chen, no matter what you are dissatisfied with in the future, don't go against Deacon Jiang. ”
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I remember." ”
Lin Jinxi saw that Lu Chen was not perfunctory to her, and said softly: "Let's go in together, wait a minute, you have to be smart." ”
The two stepped into the deacon's room one after another, and after Lu Chen came in, his eyes swept into the room, only to see a fat and greasy middle-aged man pressed against a fairly sturdy recliner. The recliner squeaked as the middle-aged man swayed, and it looked like it was going to fall apart at any time, and it was really difficult to get it.
Next to the recliner is a small table that the middle-aged man can reach, and the table is full of melons and fruit snacks.
"Presumably this is Deacon Jiang Hongjiang of the Miscellaneous Academy. Lu Chen said secretly in his heart.
"Lin Jinxi, a disciple of the Miscellaneous Servant Academy, has seen Deacon Jiang. Lin Jinxi bowed and said, taking the opportunity to turn his head sideways and wink at Lu Chen, who was standing beside him.
Lu Chen understood, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Lu Chen has seen Deacon Jiang. ”
Jiang Hong ignored Lu Chen at all, glanced at Lin Jinxi, and scolded with an angry face: "Little bastard, I see that your skin is itchy, right?" Where have you died in the past few days? The grapes, lychees, watermelons, and longans that Lao Tzu ate all peeled and spat out the seeds by himself, do you know?"
Lin Jinxi's thin body trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Back to Deacon Jiang, the disciple was ordered by the head of the family to go to the fairy town to pick up Lu Chen, and Grandpa Lu Chen returned to the west with a crane, and the disciple buried him thickly, so it was delayed for some time. ”
"It's just a dead old man, dig a pit and bury it. Little bastard, I think you're lazy, deliberately delaying time, and don't want to go back to the yard to work sooner. This deacon records that you are absent from work for three days, and the monthly allowance is halved. Jiang Hong slapped the table with a fat hand and said.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen's eyes narrowed, and he wanted to smash Jiang Hong's face with a punch.
But Lu Chen glanced at Lin Jinxi, who was constantly glaring at him on the side, took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, and did not immediately start teaching Jiang Hong, who was speaking ill of him.
However, Lu Chen's eyes lowered, but he engraved the word Jiang Hong in the bottom of his heart.
Seeing that Lin Jinxi didn't squeak, Jiang Hong snorted coldly and asked coldly, "What are you looking for me?"
Lu Chen didn't wait for Lin Jinxi to answer, and took the first step and said: "Lu Chen will enter the Lin family's miscellaneous service courtyard, and he will come to report today to receive the miscellaneous disciple's clothing, keys, and waist cards." ”
Jiang Hong seemed to have just seen Lu Chen at this time, his eyes turned and glanced up and down at Lu Chen, and then a fat and greasy hand kept clicking on the small table full of melons and fruit snacks next to the recliner.
Knock knock knock......
There was only one voice left in the deacon's room.
What does that mean? Lu Chen was puzzled.
"Deacon Jiang, I'll help him give. Lin Jinxi, who was on the side, bit his lips tightly, hesitated slightly, and hurriedly took out a few taels of silver from his waist and put them on the small table.
"It's just a little bit of silver, it's still your own, do you think you're sending a man named Hanako?" Jiang Hong grabbed the broken silver and put it into the dark pocket in his sleeve, although he was too little in his mouth, but his body was very honest. After accepting the broken silver handed over by Lin Jinxi, Jiang Hong turned his gaze again, stared at Lu Chen and said, "Boy, you should understand now, let a woman help you pay the gift money, are you embarrassed to eat this soft rice?"
After Lu Chen understood, he laughed angrily, kicked over the small table full of melons and fruit snacks, and for a while the melon and fruit snacks were like a little mouse that saw a cat, scattered and fled, rolling down the corners of the deacon's room.
