Chapter 17: Nangong Ling
Lin Lu quietly listened to the old farmer finish the story.
Thinking that the old grandfather was also demoted to slavery by the Tianluo Sect like him, and his legs were broken, and he couldn't walk steadily, it was really pitiful.
Lin Lu felt closer and closer to the old man in his heart.
"Grandpa Han, like you, I was also demoted to slavery by Tianluo Sect, my father, mother, younger brothers and sisters, now their whereabouts are unknown, this Tianluo Sect is really bad!"
Lin Lu thought of his family, and his heart was also lost.
"The old decay was confused for a while, which aroused Lin Xiaoyou's sadness, Lin Xiaoyou must not blame him",
The old farmer got up and was about to apologize, Lin Lu quickly stood up and supported him, and said with relief,
"Grandpa Han, don't be so polite, I'm a little used to it alone, so it's not in the way."
"Grandpa Han, let's keep walking, this stone is too cold, sitting for a long time is not good for your physique."
In this way, the two of them walked slowly along the path in the valley, and in a short time they came to the seven or eight houses and pavilions built along the lake.
"Madam, you have a distinguished visit."
Hearing the sound outside, a woman in her forties smiled and walked quickly from the house.
Don't look at this woman's appearance of only being in her forties, in terms of age, she is nearly 100 years old, more than ten years older than Lin Lu's grandfather.
Lin Lu looked at the woman's appearance, and thought to himself, this should be the predecessor of Nangong Ling, who is a hundred years old, but only about forty years old, and he is a cultivator and an immortal figure.
Lin Lu hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "Senior Lin Lu, meet Nangong senior!" ”
Nangong Ling hurriedly helped Lin Lu up, glanced at the old farmer, and blamed him like an unpredictable prophet, "You dead old man, you are a lot old, our family's little thing about the sesame seeds and rotten grains will be shaken off when we meet, and I am not afraid of Lin Xiaoyou's jokes." ”
When the old peasant heard his wife's reproach, he explained tremblingly,
"Madame, don't blame, Lin Xiaoyou is also from our Tianluo country, and he was wronged into slavery, so he left for a foreign country, and he is not an outsider."
Nangong Ling and Han Mo, who have no children, the two old men live alone in this valley, and they are bored.
Nangong Ling was also very happy to see Lin Lu, a friend from his homeland.
Seeing that his clothes were thin, his face was full of slave marks, and his face was tired, Nangong Ling's eyes were full of pity and pity.
Nangong Ling hurriedly took his hand, looked at Lin Lu's thin appearance, and said eagerly,
"Road, it's windy outside, come in and sit down."
Nangong Ling picked up Lin Lu and walked into the house, without looking at Han Mo, and left the little old man to the side to blow the cold wind.
"Lu'er, you must have suffered a lot along the way, this damn Tianluo Sect is all evil!"
"When you arrive at Auntie's two clear valleys, it is equivalent to arriving at your own home, don't be restrained, you know, otherwise Auntie will be angry!"
"After walking such a long way, you are a little hungry, and Auntie will make you something to eat right away."
Nangong Ling beckoned Lin Lu to sit down, and poured another cup of tea to quench his thirst.
Then, turn around and go to the kitchen next door and start cooking.
After a while, there was a burst of aroma in the kitchen, and Jinbao immediately woke up from his sleep, looked around, and wanted to find it.
Lin Lu hurriedly hugged Jinbao into his arms, and it was the first time he came to the house of the two seniors as a guest, but he couldn't let Jinbao be a foodie.
"Jinbao, don't run around, don't be rude in front of the two seniors!"
Lin Lu glared at Jinbao and warned, Jinbao seemed to understand what Lin Lu meant, and obediently stayed in Lin Lu's arms.
One man and one rat just sit obediently.
After a while, Old Man Han brought in a big carp, gestured at Lin Lu, and said enthusiastically,
"Lin Xiaoyou, I went to the lake to catch a big carp, and when the time comes, please Lin Xiaoyou must enjoy your face and taste it."
"Uncle Han, you are so polite, such a cold day, and trouble Uncle Han for your hard work, Lin Lu is really grateful!"
Lin Lu hurriedly got up and thanked him, and his heart was moved, the two seniors treated him as a nephew.
Thinking of Nangong's predecessors calling themselves aunts, Lin Lu changed the title of the little old man Han Mo to Uncle Han by the way.
I have to say that after Lin Lu passed through the little fox incident, his mind became more and more delicate and cautious.
In a short time, the table was full of various dishes, except for the carp soup, the other dishes were vegetarian.
"Lu'er, Auntie's food here is a little shabby, you should eat some first, see if it suits your appetite."
Subsequently, Nangong Ling added a bowl of rice to Lin Lu and Jinbao.
"Thank you Aunt Nangong for your sumptuous hospitality!"
Lin Lu wanted to get up and thank him, but Nangong Ling hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.
Lin Lu was already hungry at this time, and he picked up the chopsticks and was about to start feasting, when the big carp on the table had been fished away by Jinbao's paws......
Lin Lu had no choice but to start pulling rice, this rice was really fragrant, after eating it in his stomach, there was still a trace of air flowing in his abdomen, and he felt that the whole person was much refreshed.
Lin Lu took another bite of food with anticipation,
This...... Cuisine...... How...... So...... Salty......?
Lin Lu hurriedly took a few bites of rice to neutralize the salty taste.
Nangong Ling saw that Lin Lu only took a bite of food, and only cared about picking up rice, thinking that Lin Lu was embarrassed to clip it, so she picked up chopsticks and piled a large number of vegetables on Lin Lu's rice bowl, and said enthusiastically,
"Lu'er, don't be polite to Auntie, just let go and eat."
Nangong Ling and Han Mo have been cultivating immortals for many years, and on weekdays, except for eating some spiritual rice and fresh melons and fruits, they rarely cook dishes on fire, and it is common sense that they are unfamiliar with cooking.
Lin Lu peeked at Uncle Han, Uncle Han looked at his nose and nose and mouth calmly, I was afraid that he also knew that his wife's cooking skills were limited, and he didn't dare to say it clearly.
Lin Lu saw that Jinbao ate the carp so deliciously, thinking that this carp soup should be made is okay, picked up the spoon and took a bite of the soup, and carefully put it in his mouth, which ...... Soup...... How...... No...... ...... salt?
Lin Lu thought about it,
"Whether it's good or good, one is strong, one is light, and with this fragrant rice, it can also be eaten very well!"
After making up his mind, Lin Lu took a bite of soup, a mouthful of vegetables, and a mouthful of rice, ate and drank the four side dishes and crucian carp soup on the table, and after eating two bowls of rice, he rubbed his stomach with satisfaction.
"Well fed!"
This was the only full meal Lin Lu had eaten in more than a year, although the taste was a bit difficult to describe.
Taking advantage of Lin Lu's meal, Nangong Ling had already tidied up the room in the attic on the second floor.
After Lin Lu finished eating, Old Man Han cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks very interestingly, brushed the pot and washed the dishes, and after the foodie Jinbao finished eating the big carp, he fell asleep on the spot and snored!
Nangong Ling smiled and took Lin Lu's hand and walked along the lake.
At this time, the morning sun is rising, the orange-red sunshine, across the peaks, obliquely shines into the valley, the mountains, the rocks, the pine forest, and the mist are all divided into cold and warm colors, a strange and beautiful scene of "half river sorrow and half river red".
Lin Lu looked up at this picture, thinking that if he also had an emerald green leaf magic weapon, then he would be able to fly into the air and shuttle back and forth in this warm and cold scenery, it must be extremely interesting!
"Aunt Nangong, do you know a purple-haired girl with two fox ears on her head, like a person but not like a person, sometimes male and sometimes female, male and female, very terrifying."
Lin Lu had been hiding this question in his heart, because Uncle Han only appeared after the purple-haired girl threw a strange piece of paper into the morning mist.
"Lu'er, what's the name of that mole friend next to you?"
Nangong Ling didn't answer directly, but asked Lin Lu instead.
"It's called Jinbao, and I'm friends with it, best friend!"
"Lu'er, you have just stepped into the realm of cultivating immortals, and you may not know much about many things.
In this world, in addition to our human race can cultivate into immortals, many small animals can also cultivate into immortals.
For example, your friend Jinbao is a spirit beast that can cultivate into immortals.
After Jinbao cultivates to a certain level, it can also transform into a human form, just like our human race, and then you can talk about everything.
The purple-haired girl you are talking about should be Ling Hubing,
Living in the mountains near here, there is a little fox that has just successfully transformed into a beast, and has not completely lost its animal form, so it only has two fox ears on its head.
This little fox is naughty and mischievous, and likes to use some illusions the most, transforming into other people's appearances, playing tricks on people, and his heart is not bad, if you are afraid, stay away from her next time. ”
Nangong Ling patiently explained to Lin Lu.
Lin Lu thought about the hardships he and Jinbao had endured at Ling Hu Bing's hands, if this was what Aunt Nangong said, "the heart is not bad", then it must be that Ling Hu Bing used some kind of magic to confuse Aunt Nangong's mind.
It seems that in the future, it is better to stay as far away from this Linghu Bing as possible, if I am bullied by her, I Lin Lu will have nowhere to cry out for grievances.
"Aunt Nangong, can I ask you something?" Lin Lu stopped, pondered for a while, and then looked up at Nangong Ling with determination, and said slowly,
"Tell me, as long as Aunt Nangong can do it, she will definitely do it for you." Nangong Ling didn't dare to be too big, smiled at Lin Lu, and replied very sincerely,
"Aunt Nangong, can you use the immortal method to erase the imprint on my face? I want to go out and find my family. ”
"This thing is very simple, Auntie will wait and prepare some scar removal cream for you, apply some every day, after a year and a half, the brand should be able to disappear, and your Uncle Han also applied these ointments to remove the brand back then."
"Lu'er, you want to go to your family, so do you know where your family is?" Nangong Ling asked with concern.
Lin Lu was stunned for a moment, lowered his little head, and shook his head blankly,
"Since you don't know where your family is, and the Tianluo Kingdom is so big, where are you going to find them?" Nangong Ling added.
Lin Lu passed Nangong Ling's reminder, and felt a lot of loss in his heart, he only thought about going to find his family before, but in this vast sea of people, where to find it?
Nangong Ling patted him lightly on the back, squatted down, looked at Lin Lu gently, and said softly,
"Lu'er, don't worry, stay here with your aunt first, take care of your physique, wait for a year and a half, after the imprint on your face is gone, it's not too late to look for it, when the time comes, your family will see you grow tall and strong, and they will be happy for you, right?"
Lin Lu lowered his head, and sighed in his heart, the world is so big, there is no place for him Lin Lu, even if he runs to the other six countries, the three seal official slaves are still treated like pigs and dogs, let alone looking for any family members.
"Aunt Nangong, there will be a lot of disturbances in the future, Jinbao and I are both children, if there is anything that is not done well, you can punish it." Lin Lu saluted Nangong Ling very sincerely.
"Lu'er, you are willing to stay with Aunt Nangong and Uncle Han, it is also a blessing for our two old men, if you are really naughty, Aunt Nangong and Uncle Han will also discipline you for your parents!"
