"This money is my gift, and by the way, help me thank your father. ”

The matter on the noodle stall ended with Shen Ming handing Li Dazhuang some silver and such a sentence.

There is not much silver, probably enough to set up a small shop in Chicheng, Shen Ming heard the boss mention that he wanted to save money for a store in the city, so he remembered it.

Shen Ming didn't mention what happened back then, but just learned how Boss Li is doing now through chatting, after all, he and Boss Li are people of two worlds after all.

He belongs to the rivers and lakes and is destined not to be peaceful, but Old Man Li is different from him, he is just an ordinary person, safe and sound, and he feels very satisfied with spending his life full of children and grandchildren.

After this incident, Shen Ming did not plan to break into the peaceful life of the old man's house again, and he had any more intersections with the old man.

Although many onlookers approached Shen Ming at that time and wanted to ask him to count a hexagram, he didn't pay attention to these people, and easily got rid of the crowd with his skills.

Ah Duoer was a little absent-minded at this time, her mind was full of the shadow of what happened just now, she had been following Shen Ming since the morning, and naturally knew very well that Shen Ming had not been to the boss's house, since she had not been there, then the question came?

Shen Ming said lightly: "Just ask whatever you want." ”

Ah Duoer was also polite, "Master, what happened just now, how do you know that the boss's daughter-in-law has a difficult birth?"

Shen Ming threw away the quaint coin in his hand and replied, "Of course it is." ”

Adol looked incredulous, "Master, don't be kidding, how can there really be fortune telling in this world." ”

Shen Ming replied: "You must know that the rivers and lakes are very big, but the people are very small, even if you spend your life trying to understand the rivers and lakes, what you touch is only the tip of the iceberg, and there are many things hidden underwater, so what you don't know doesn't mean that he doesn't exist." ”

Even though Shen Ming said this, Ah Duoer was still skeptical, thinking suspiciously.

Could it be that there really is a fortune-telling technique in this world?

Shen Ming didn't care about what Ah Duoer thought in his heart, looked at the courtyard of a large family in front of him, greeted Ah Duo'er, and walked to the door.

......

Liu's Mansion.

The Liu family has been in business for generations, has accumulated a lot of wealth, and is also famous in Chicheng.

The old lady of the Liu family is just seventy this year, a rare high life, the first two months did a big birthday, at that time the city has a face of people to celebrate a birthday, the birthday banquet for seven days and seven nights, the scene is really a bit big.

Two months ago, the old lady's body was still very strong, her speech was clear, and she was not confused at all, but she didn't expect that it had only been two months, and the old lady couldn't afford to be sick.

At this time, a bunch of people were gathering in the old lady's room, most of them were the old lady's juniors.

"Elder Wang, how is it, what kind of illness does my mother have?" The one who spoke was Liu Chengye, the head of the Liu family, the son of the old lady, who is also in his fifties this year.

Wang Lao stroked his long beard, muttered for a moment and said, "Old lady, this is sick...... Hey!"

Speaking of the back, Wang Lao himself didn't say anything, but just sighed, and the meaning was self-evident.

Liu Chengye hurriedly said: "Elder Wang, you are the first saint of my Chicheng, there must be a way to cure my mother's illness, rest assured, money is not a problem, as long as I can cure my mother, my Liu family will have a heavy reward." ”

Wang Lao hesitated for a moment and said, "This ...... Hey, I still have a 500-year-old ginseng in my store, and I may be able to last a little longer if I give it to the old lady, but the price of this ginseng is ......."

Hearing what Wang Lao said, Liu Chengye's heart also sank, knowing that the old lady's illness was probably really incurable, and he barely squeezed out a smile on his face.

"Then thank you Wang Lao first, money is not a problem, Wang Lao ordered someone to get ginseng. ”

Wang Lao waved his hand, sighed, and then ordered the apprentice he brought to go back to the store to get the medicine, and arranged for the Wang family's subordinates to prepare things to boil the medicine.

Although the people were busy, the room was gloomy, and many people had quietly wiped their tears.

"Master, the Kongming Zen Master of Qiyun Temple heard that the old lady was sick and asked to see her outside the door. ”

At this time, someone came, Liu Chengye's eyes lit up, he also knew a thing or two about the Kongming Zen Master, I heard that he was a person from the rivers and lakes, good at medical skills, and very famous.

For the people of the rivers and lakes, their stories are often circulated in the market, in which they come and go, and their magical powers are vast, Liu Chengye thought, maybe Zen Master Kongming will have a way, right?

"Hurry up, please!"

After a while, the door was pushed open again, and an old monk, a person, and a woman walked in.

With the memory of going to Qiyun Temple to offer incense, he happened to meet the empty Ming Zen master a few times, Liu Chengye recognized the old monk at a glance as the empty Ming Zen master, and he hurriedly greeted him.

"Master Kong Ming, I have long heard that your medical skills are excellent, and my mother was fine a few days ago, but I didn't expect it...... Unexpectedly, he suddenly became ill, and the doctors in the city had nothing to do, so he asked the master to be merciful and save his mother's life. ”

Kong Ming helped Liu Chengye up, and said compassionately: "Amitabha, the old lady is here for this, the old lady has done good deeds and accumulated good karma all her life, and the old lady will definitely do my best to save the old lady." ”

Liu Chengye thanked him again and again when he heard this, and led the Zen master Kongming to the old lady's bed, and saw that the Taoist and the woman also followed, Liu Chengye didn't care, thinking that the two were pilgrims of the Zen master, and nodded to the two kindly.

Kong Ming sat down in front of the hospital bed, and when the people in the room looked anxious, he began to check the old lady's pulse, ask questions, and check the reason, and only after a while did he take a deep breath and slowly stand up.

Liu Chengye said hurriedly: "Master, how is my mother's condition?"

"Amitabha, the old lady did not recuperate well after giving birth in her early years, and her body was weak, so she fell into the root of the disease, and now she can live to seventy years, which is also rare. Speaking of this, Kong Ming paused, sighed, and then continued to speak, "The old lady is not sick, but her body has run out of oil, and the lamp has dried up, and the long is one month, and the short is three days, and the old lady will drive to the west." ”

Liu Chengye's face turned pale when he heard this, and he asked unwillingly: "Master, isn't there a way?"

Kong Ming sighed and said: "The old lady uses his internal strength to condition the old lady's body, or he may be able to keep the old lady awake in this last period." ”

The matter has come to this point, what else can be done, Liu Chengye only felt that his eyes were dark, he almost couldn't stand, his heart was full of sadness, and he thanked Kong Ming.

At this time, the apprentice who had gone to the store to pick up the medicine also rushed back, holding a large red box in his hand.

"Master, ...... Participation is coming. ”

Liu Chengye smiled dismally, and was about to order someone to take the ginseng to Wang Lao in the back hall, but saw that the Taoist who had been silent suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

"Who ordered someone to take this ginseng, and to whom did it be served?"
