Chapter 287, Adoptive Mother
On the ground, pots and pans, scattered, scattered all over the ground, the old woman crawled next to a pile of broken dishes and chopsticks, and the people watching were sad for a while.
"Mother, why did you get out of bed, didn't I let Xiaohu take care of you? Where does Xiaohu go? ”
Yuan Chunjie rushed forward, helped the old woman up, looked at his mother in a panic, and saw that she was not injured, so he put his mind at ease, slowly helped her to the bed, and covered the quilt.
The old woman had a face in her sixties, her hair was gray, the roots were dry, the wrinkles on her face were deposited, and there were a few dark spots, and her face was sallow.
"Ahem...... Xiaojie is back, ahem...... Don't worry, my mother is fine, Xiaohu went out to buy medicine, and I haven't come back yet, I've been lying in bed for a long time, and I just want to drink some water... Ahem, ahem."
The old woman coughed as she spoke, and her words were breathless, and although they were only a few words, they used up a lot of strength.
This old woman is Yuan Chunjie's mother, when she was young, she became ill with hard work, so that now she has fallen into a sick body and has lost her ability to take care of herself.
It is precisely because he has to take care of this old lady who can't take care of herself, so Yuan Chunjie can't be away from home for too long, can't find a serious job, and can only wander around the downtown all day long, stealing and abducting, and becoming a thief.
"Ahem, cough, cough"
The old woman was sick, and when she was helped to the bed, she coughed violently, and her withered body trembled.
"Mother, don't be in a hurry, take a sip of water first."
Seeing this, Yuan Chunjie hurriedly picked up the wooden bowl that had fallen before from the ground, took three steps and made two steps, ran to the table, poured a bowl of tea for his mother, and then fed her to drink.
After Li Mo and Xiang Xiaotian entered the room, they looked around to check the environment in the house, there were two houses in the house, one for his wife to live in, and the other should be the dilapidated furniture where he and Xiaohu lived.
A crooked table, a few worn-out benches, and all that was left were bits and pieces, and nothing of value was found.
After drinking a few sips of hot water, the old woman felt a little better, stopped coughing, turned her head, and looked at Li Mo and Xiang Xiaotian.
"Xiaojie, are these two your friends? Why don't you arrange for them to sit down and entertain them. The old woman said to Yuan Chunjie, and after finishing speaking, she said to the two of them: "You are Xiaojie's friends, you have worked hard from afar, but unfortunately I am weak and weak, so I can't get up to entertain the two of you, so I have a lot to bear." ”
The old woman looked at the two of them with a kind face, pointed to her body, and shook her head with a wry smile.
"The two of us and Yuan Chunjie are good friends, auntie, you don't have to be polite, the two of us can take care of ourselves, you have to worry about it."
Seeing that the old woman was so kind, Xiang Xiaotian couldn't say anything, and patted his head with his big hand, revealing a sincere smile.
"It's a guest, Xiaojie, you have to entertain these two friends... Ahem. ”
Before the old woman could finish speaking, she coughed breathlessly again, and her sallow face flushed.
Seeing this, Xiang Xiaotian quietly released his innate realm divine sense, swept over the old woman, and then turned his head solemnly, and shook his head at Li Mo quietly.
Li Mo understood what he meant, the old woman had been sick from hard work for many years, her body was decaying, the limit was approaching, and she couldn't last long, even if the two of them held the elixir, they couldn't cure her.
It was not that their elixir was not enough to heal the old woman's body, but because the old woman's body was too weak to withstand the medicinal power of the elixir.
"Auntie, you are not in good health, you should pay more attention to rest, don't care about the two of us."
Li Mo stepped forward with a smile on his face, and as he spoke, he gently patted the old woman's body with his hand and injected a trace of spiritual power into her body, although it could not cure her, but it could make her no longer have to be so painful.
After the slightest spiritual power entered the body, the old woman's face was finally no longer so ugly, she recovered a little blood, and she no longer coughed.
"Then the old body won't bother the two of you, Xiaojie, you must greet the two guests, you know."
"Don't worry, mother, you can rest for a while, and when Xiaohu comes back, I will boil medicine for you to drink!"
Yuan Chunjie glanced at Li Mo gratefully, and then comforted his mother with a smile.
He can now be regarded as a cultivator, his sense is sensitive, after Li Mo's hand slapped on his mother's body, he obviously felt that his mother's breath stabilized, and his breathing was also a lot smoother, although he didn't know what means Li Mo used, but he knew that the other party had absolutely no malicious intent.
"Hmm"
The old woman replied softly, then closed her eyes and rested, and the three of them quietly exited the room without making a sound.
After carefully closing the door, Yuan Chunjie quickly turned around, bowed to Li Mo and the others, and said.
"The villain knows that the origin of the two adults is absolutely extraordinary, they must be the legendary people of the Xianmen, well-informed, countless elixirs, just one pill, can let me experience a rebirth and become a cultivator. So the villain asked the two adults to save my old mother and help her heal the stubborn diseases in her body, and from then on, the villain is willing to be a cow and a horse for the two adults for the rest of his life, without complaint. ”
"Is she really your mother?"
Xiang Xiaotian asked in surprise, just now he saw in the room that the old woman's age was sixty or seventy years old, on the other hand, Yuan Chunjie, no matter how she looked at it, her age would not exceed twenty years old, the difference was too big, even if she was old and had a child, it was too far-fetched to explain it at all.
"To be honest, she is not my biological mother, I am just an orphan who was picked up, I have been lonely since I was a child, she raised me as an adult and gave me a warm home, not only that, even Xiaohu is also an orphan adopted by my mother."
Yuan Chunjie said to the two, his words were sincere, and he wanted the two of them to save the old woman's life.
After Xiang Xiaotian heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, then shook his head at him, dodged his eyes for the first time, and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all.
Seeing this, Yuan Chunjie sighed in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good, could it be that the two immortal masters could not help her mother heal the stubborn diseases in her body.
Then, he set his eyes on Li Mo again, his eyes full of pleading.
In this regard, Li Mo also shook his head and said softly.
"Your mother's qi and blood are decaying, her body is dry, and her stubborn disease is deep in her bone marrow, and we are powerless to return to heaven!"
