Chapter 9: Yutian is injured
Linglong Village is an inconspicuous village in the middle of the 100,000 mountains.
A small river flows through the village, nourishing the few paddy fields, and a few women wash their clothes by the river.
At this time, it was close to noon, and the people in the fields packed up their farm tools, greeted others with a smile, and rushed home.
There are only 100 young and old people in the village, and although life is hard, you can feel the kind of happiness that overflows with the heart and is plain.
Yuxiang still remembers that before entering the academy, under the leadership of several older children in the village, he searched for a purple wild fruit all over the mountains.
And Yu Meng'er is always blushing and following him step by step, for fear that he will accidentally get lost.
For this reason, her friends in the village often tease her with this, and her childlike words made Deyu Meng'er blush.
What a wonderful time it was, Yu Xiang smiled.
The carriage soon came to the entrance of the village.
After paying for the car, he walked from the path next to the village entrance with Yue Xinyi, who was carrying a gift in her hand.
Yuxiang's home is not in the village, so he walks along the path and crosses a few small wooden bridges over the river, and he can see a farmhouse yard at the foot of the mountain not far away.
The yard is not big, more than four feet long and wide, and there is a small vegetable garden next to the yard.
As you get closer, you can hear the sounds of various poultry raised in the yard.
"At this time, grandparents should be at home."
Yuxiang's heart was excited, and he couldn't wait to knock on the rusty door knocker.
Dododo.
The knock on the door fell for a long time and no one came to open the door, and I was about to knock again, but found that the door was not locked.
With a slight push, the door opened.
The two walked into the courtyard, and the old man's poultry were quiet.
A feeling that something was wrong came over me.
"Grandparents!"
Yu Xiang shouted and quickly ran across the courtyard, and Yue Xinyi hurriedly followed.
When I opened the door of the back room, I still didn't see a single person.
Hurriedly pushed open the room of the two old men, and finally made Yuxiang breathe a sigh of relief, and let go of the heart that had raised his throat.
The interior of the house is extremely simple, with a large wooden bed and a cupboard for belongings.
An old woman lay on the edge of the bed, breathing softly, thinking that she was too tired to fall asleep.
The old man lying on the bed was a little disordered, and even in his sleep, he still coughed lightly from time to time, and the painful old man's forehead was full of cold sweat.
The two are Yuxiang's grandparents, Yutian and Shen Ling.
As if feeling Yu Tian's discomfort, Shen Ling, who was asleep, woke up, skillfully took a towel from the basin at the head of the bed, wrung it out and wiped off the cold sweat on Yu Tian's forehead, and adjusted his body again, his pale face was better, and he fell asleep.
"Hey, the old man has hurt you."
Shen Ling sighed lightly, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, picked up the basin to refill a basin of water, and only then did he find the person standing at the door.
Bang dang.
The water basin in his hand fell to the ground, and the water flowed to the ground, and Shen Ling stood in place in a daze.
"Kid, why are you back?"
She spoke with a trill, glanced at Yu Xiang, and then looked at Yu Tian on the bed, her eyes a little flustered.
Yu Xiang also walked inside, and came to the bed to check the injuries of Yu Tian who was lying on the bed.
The aura flowed into Yutian's body from the palm of his hand, healing the injuries he had suffered, although it played some role, but the effect was very small.
"Try this."
Yue Xinyi stood at the door, pinching an elixir in her fingers.
It was a "Holy Spirit Elixir", which had a miraculous effect on healing the injured body, and she was able to become a dragon and tiger in such a short period of time after being injured, all relying on this thing.
Yuxiang didn't know how much the Holy Spirit Pill was worth, and he didn't know where she got it.
With some hesitation, he thanked her and took it from her hand.
After Yutian took it, the milky white medicinal power swam through his body, and the injury was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Yuxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Grandma, why is Grandpa so badly injured?"
He couldn't help but ask Shen Ling on the side.
"It's also your grandfather's fault for this, I heard that there are precious herbs on the mountain, so I planned to pick them, but I accidentally fell."
Shen Ling's gaze dodged, obviously lying.
Although Yuxiang was practicing in the academy, the second elder had long known that he couldn't cultivate, and he didn't dare to say the reason, for fear that he would be rash.
"Grandma, don't hide it from me, can you tell me?"
His eyes were slightly red, his fists were clenched, and Yu Xiang couldn't see that these injuries were all man-made.
He knew that the old man was for his good, but he already had enough strength to solve some problems, and he didn't have to be afraid.
"Grandma, just tell Yuxiang, you have to believe him."
Yue Xinyi stood beside Yu Xiang, and saw that Shen Ling was still a little embarrassed, and she also persuaded her.
In the end, Shen Ling also sighed and led the two to the outhouse.
After the three of them sat down, they told the story.
Seven days ago, when the second elder went out to farm, he saw some herbs on a hill, and each herb carried a fresh smell and lingered aura.
They don't know what these herbs are for, and their instincts tell them they can be worth a lot of money.
After carefully picking it, he took it to Shuoliang Town to sell, thinking that he could sell it at a good price to fill the school expenses for Yuxiang and Yumeng'er.
But I met a few ruffians and hooligans, who took a fancy to the herbs they were selling, and wanted to buy them, but the price was very low.
The second elder refused, and those people wanted to collect 100 lower-level cultivation yuan on the grounds of collecting rent.
You must know that ordinary people are tired and tired, and their monthly income is only thirty or forty lower-level cultivation yuan.
Yutian was unwilling, and the two sides clashed.
The two old men didn't have any cultivation, how could they withstand a few young and strong monks.
And the reason why Shen Ling was not injured was because Yu Tian desperately protected her, and the herbs were also snatched away by those.
Fortunately, the two of them were sent back after meeting people from the same village, and Yutian couldn't get out of bed since that day, and she could only wash her face with tears every day.
"When those people left, they arrogantly said that they were from the Li family, and no one dared to mess with them."
Speaking of this, the tears in Shen Ling's eyes could no longer be held back, and one could imagine how much the two old men had been wronged.
Yue Xinyi hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a handkerchief and comforted her.
"Who is this girl?"
Shen Ling took the handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, only then did he remember with a little annoyance and asked Yuxiang.
"Grandma, her name is Yue Xinyi, a friend I met with Sister Meng'er at the academy. I'm bored after staying in the academy for a long time, so come and play for a few days. ”
When Yuxiang heard that it was the Li family's doing, he was already secretly murderous, so he thought it was him three times and twice.
It's just that he can't show it now, so he forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart and introduced it to Shen Ling with a smile.
"Grandma, just call me Xinyi."
Yue Xinyi is also well-behaved, her face is red, she is still a little shy in front of the old man, and she looks like a lady.
Shen Ling looked at her, and he also felt that he liked it very much, and gradually a smile gradually appeared on his face.
It's just that Shen Ling suddenly forgot to look outside, as if he was looking for something.
"What about your sister?"
She was very puzzled that her grandson had returned with a friend, but her granddaughter was gone.
Seeing this, Yu Xiang could only tell Shen Ling about Yu Meng'er's disappearance.
The atmosphere that had begun to become pleasant sank again.
"I'll get Sister Meng'er back."
He could only comfort the old man like this.
"You've traveled so far, you should be hungry, I'll cook for you."
Shen Ling sighed a few more times, with a dark cloud on her face, but at her age, she had already learned to live an open-minded life, and she quickly sorted out her mood and got up to prepare lunch.
And Yue Xinyi also volunteered to help, and the two chatted in the kitchen.
This made him even more determined.
The Li family will perish.
